Accidentally dressed as an empress

Yunxiu turned off the live broadcast of the melon-eating system.

Zhong Yi reminded Zhong Xiaolang to go find his elders today, which was a smart move. Yu Yan was also a ruthless person, and he directly entered the palace carrying the spirit tablet.

Before the system finished eating the melon, the live broadcast screen popped up again. Someone in the Yunji Palace wanted to see His Majesty again. It was the garrison commander Wu Han.

Even a lone wolf like Yun Ji actually has some connections.

Wu Han clasped his fists and saluted, saying to His Majesty, "The Third Prince has good intentions. He gets along well with the guards in the garrison and has even used his money to support several guards from poor families."

"Your Highness is straightforward and may have been provoked into action. Furthermore, he was easily impulsive after drinking too much. Your Majesty, please be lenient with him."

Yun Se said to Cui Ti, "Her Highness the Third Princess will be confined to Jingming Palace and fined half a month's salary. After half a month, she will be required to report to the Imperial Academy to cultivate her character and read more books of sages. She will not be required to go to the garrison."

Yunxiu frowned. Why was he being so lenient? If His Majesty treated Yun Ji too lightly, it would chill the hearts of all the civil and military officials.

His Majesty had transferred Yun Ji from the garrison to the Imperial Academy. Was this an attempt to persuade her to abandon her military career and pursue a scholarly one? Was he truly hoping to temper Yun Ji's aggressive and aggressive nature? Yun Xiu didn't understand His Majesty's intentions.

Just as Zhong Yi stepped into the study, Yun Xiu pulled Zhong Yi into her arms and asked her questions while tickling him.

Zhong Yi chuckled and begged for mercy, and Yun Xiucai let him go. Zhong Yi's face flushed red as he whispered in her ear, "The garrison's duty is to protect Lingyun City, and the garrison commander has always been loyal only to His Majesty."

Yunxiu understood immediately and whispered, "How can I allow others to snore beside my bed? No matter who it is, they should avoid suspicion with Commander Wu. His Majesty already dislikes my third sister, so he will naturally suspect that my third sister and Commander Wu are too close."

Therefore, it would have been better if Commander Wu did not plead for mercy, but instead he did so and prevented Yun Ji from returning to the garrison.

...........................

People's joys and sorrows are not shared, and Zhongxiuyuan is filled with tenderness and beauty.

On the other side, in the Ubisoft studio, there was a gloomy atmosphere.

Seven people have already left one after another, and the remaining scholars are discussing whether they should become servants in the mansion.

"The one from the Ren family, after becoming a servant, actually won the appreciation of His Highness and has now been promoted to deputy steward."

"How about we become servants too?"

"But we can't do anything except reading and writing."

Wang Yan, dressed in brocade clothes, returned to his residence and saw that his roommate had not yet gone to bed.

Liu Zhi said to her, "You're back? Are you spending money to get information again?"

Although Wang Yuan was exposed, she wasn't embarrassed. She said, "I was just out for a walk and overheard a few words. Do you think His Highness will come to Ubisoft again?"

"How could such a distinguished person like His Highness come here?" Liu Zhi said, "Don't think too much. Let's leave early and make plans."

Liu Zhi asked her, "Have you made up your mind? Do you want to stay in the mansion as a servant or leave?"

"I've heard that His Highness will be inviting many dignitaries to a banquet in a few days. I'll hand in my written poem and try my luck."

Liu Zhi said, "To establish oneself, one must first establish one's ambition. Is your ambition just to be a retainer of a high official?"

Wang Yuan felt ashamed when she said that. She asked, "What are your plans? Lingyun City is so big, is there anywhere for us to go?"

Liu Zhi was a man of his own ideas. He said, "I want to return to my hometown and become a teacher. That would be a good reward for all the years I've spent studying the sages' books."

"Are you willing?"

Liu Zhi sat cross-legged on the simple wooden bed and said, "The Master said that knowledge should be applied to the world. Talking idle talk all day in the Grand Princess's residence is of no great use to the country or the people. Being a Master and educating the villagers would be of greater use."

Wang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I also plan to go home and inherit the family business."

Liu Zhi patted Wang Yuan's shoulder and said, "Very good. His Highness said that my talent was born to be useful. In fact, leaving here is actually a good thing. We will all find our own way out."

After that night, the gears of life began to slowly turn, and the two scholars decided to leave the mansion and pursue their own careers. Little did they know that the day they returned to Lingyun City would be the day they would soar to prominence. This is a story for another time.

Second day

Yunxiu got up early to attend court. The first day after every day off was a grand court meeting.

In Yunji Palace

Xu Ling, the Grand Minister of Agriculture, stood up and said, "It has been dry for months. If it doesn't rain, the autumn harvest will be affected. I am worried that there will not be enough grain for the harvest."

His Majesty's expression was calm and he asked calmly, "How much grain is stored in the granaries around Lingyun City?"

Grand Minister of Agriculture Xu Ling said, "Less than a quarter."

His Majesty said, "The Minister of Agriculture has instructed the Grain Market to collect and store more grain while the price is low."

Grand Minister of Agriculture Xu Ling bowed and saluted, "I obey your command."

His Majesty then asked, "Has the Grand Historian chosen an auspicious day for offering sacrifices to heaven and praying for rain? Which day has been set?"

The Grand Historian ordered Yu Miao to step out of the group, bowed his head, and said, "It has not been suitable for the past five days."

His Majesty spoke slowly, "Ten years ago, there was a severe drought for three months. Not a drop of rain fell, the Yun River dried up, and the Ling River dried up. Do you remember what happened to that Grand Historian?"

For a moment, the atmosphere was stagnant. In the hall, there was absolute silence and you could hear a pin drop.

Yunxiu seemed to hear a few heavy breathing sounds.

With a muffled thud, Yu Miao knelt down with a resounding sound, his back straight, and said, "I am incompetent and really cannot figure it out."

Yu Miao's hands were shaking badly inside his robe.

Yunxiu thought that the official hat of the Grand Historian was in jeopardy.

His Majesty smiled softly, "The affairs of Heaven are beyond human control. My dear, please stand up. I was just thinking about the great drought that year, so my tone was a little serious."

Grand Historian Yu Miao finally stood up, and His Majesty said gently, "Cui Ti, help the Grand Historian down first."

Li Xian, who was not good at reading people's expressions, stepped forward again. "Your Majesty, the Lingyun City missing population case involves twenty-seven people. I have submitted a memorial."

The Empress said indifferently, "I have read the memorial. There is no need to mention strengthening security patrols."

Your Majesty is very concerned about his reputation. So many young servants have died in the palace, so this news must be suppressed.

No one can give an explanation to the twenty-seven wronged souls.

The culprit who treated human life as worthless, the confined Third Princess, was holding the little servant and drinking wine in Jingming Palace as usual.

Is this fair? It's not fair.

Is there a way? No.

Actually, there is a way, but that method will make everyone lose face.

After the court session, in the study of Yunji Palace

Queen Yunse said, "My dear, I have wronged you just now in the palace."

"I am not wronged to be able to share your majesty's worries."

His Majesty said, "The Minister of Agriculture and the Minister of Grain Market have made preparations for the drought. I do not ask for heavy rain now, only light rain."

The Grand Historian understood and said, "There will be thunderstorms in about three days."

"The rain-making ceremony will be held in three days."

The Grand Historian accepted the order and said, "I will go down and prepare it right away." Then he withdrew.
