Accidentally dressed as an empress

Hidden Cloud City

Winter has gone and spring has come. The earth in March has revived, with grass growing and flowers blooming everywhere.

The fields look like a paint palette overturned by nature, with tender green shoots and colorful wild flowers intertwined freely.

Yunxiu, wearing a simple cloth shirt, was bending over in the paddy field, trying to plant the saline-alkali rice that she had carefully cultivated.

A large area of ​​paddy fields sparkled with tiny silver lights under the sunlight.

Yunxiu slowly lowered her trouser legs, walked out of the farmland, and rode her horse back to the prefect's mansion.

As soon as I stepped into the mansion, I saw a warm scene.

Zhong Yi was sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, holding a little girl in his arms.

Zhong Yi was holding an exquisite bell in his hand, shaking it gently, making a clear and pleasant sound, and was patiently coaxing the little girl in the cradle.

The little girl's pink face was filled with an innocent smile, as if all the troubles in the world had nothing to do with her.

Seeing this, Yunxiu's mouth corners unconsciously raised, revealing a gentle smile.

She walked forward and gently held the child in her arms, her eyes full of love as she teased softly, "Little Bell, do you miss your mother?"

Zhong Yi stood up and gently held Yunxiu in his arms. He rested his chin on Yunxiu's shoulder and whispered in her ear: "I don't know if Xiao Lingdang misses me, but I miss my wife."

When Yunxiu heard Zhong Yi's whisper, her cheeks flushed slightly and she glanced at him angrily.

She held the little bell, rocked her body gently, and hummed a soft lullaby.

Little Lingling was in Yunxiu's arms, blinking her big black eyes and looking around curiously. Her little hands were waving restlessly, occasionally grabbing a strand of Yunxiu's hair, and making babbling sounds from her mouth, as if responding to Yunxiu.

Zhong Yi stood quietly by, looking at Yunxiu and Xiao Lingling, his eyes full of happiness and satisfaction.

His hand rested gently on Yunxiu's waist, taking in the warmth and tranquility of this moment. "Wife, you're busy with so many things every day, it's really hard." Zhong Yi's voice was soft, with a hint of heartache.

Yunxiu shook her head slightly. "For the sake of the people of this city, for our family, it's okay to work harder. But sometimes I feel like I owe you something."

Zhong Yi hugged Yun Xiu tighter, "My dear wife, please don't say that."

On the day of her delivery, Zhong Yi held his daughter, who was as small as a kitten, in his arms. Seeing her covered in sweat and blood, he was terrified.

From that day on, Zhong Yi took care of his daughter, feeding her rice soup, changing her diapers, etc. He also took care of her during her confinement and fed her every day.

She sighed slightly, lowered her head and kissed Xiao Lingling on her pink cheek, then raised her head and kissed Zhong Yi.

At this time, there was a slight noise outside the house, and Su Da came to report the matter.

Yunxiu frowned slightly and handed the little bell to Zhong Yi reluctantly, "I'll go take a look, you stay with the little bell first." After that, she straightened her clothes and walked out of the room quickly.

Zhong Yi looked at Yunxiu's departing back, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

He looked down at the little bell in his arms and said softly, "Little Bell, mother has gone to take care of something. We will just wait here for her to come back." Little Bell babbled and continued to play with Zhong Yi's sleeves with her little hands.

At this time, beads of sweat were beading on Su Da's forehead as he respectfully reported to Yun Xiu, "Sir, Lin Zichen and his troops passed through Yunyin City."

Yunxiu raised her head slightly, frowned slightly, and a hint of doubt and thought flashed in her clear eyes.

Then she carefully examined the whole story and couldn't help but sigh softly.

The system said that Lin Zichen went to Mingxiaoshan Iron Mine to suppress the rebellion.

I thought to myself: Something happened at the Mingxiaoshan Iron Mine. Could it be Ji Yun's fault?

Ji Yun has a stubborn personality, and he is very likely to do something radical for revenge.

The current situation is so complicated that it is really a headache.

However, Yunxiu quickly shook her head and suppressed the thoughts of worrying about others.

Now that she is the ruler of a city, the people of the city need her protection and support, and her responsibility is heavier than Mount Tai.

But Mingxiao Mountain was beyond her reach.

Yunxiu has a happy husband and children, while the system sighs every day.

[Host, host, did you know that the Queen is about to give birth in April?]

[I didn't know, it turns out that the system is really a B-ultrasound.]

"Host, could you please be more serious? Childbirth is such a difficult process, how many people would want to take advantage of it to cause trouble? Your delivery was painless and smooth, but it was also a busy day and night, and you spent the better part of a month in confinement. Just thinking about your mother, the palace is in turmoil."

【Okay, I get it now. 】

[Host! Lin Zichen has been transferred to Mingxiao Mountain to quell the rebellion. What if the Rong tribe in Xiling attacks? What if it's not just the west, but the Queen is about to give birth, and the four barbarian tribes take the opportunity to attack? Don't forget, that venomous snake Cui Ti is not dead yet, she will come back again.]

[Tongtong, are you giving me a spoiler? ]

[Host, can you please be more serious! This is calculated based on all the data.]

"Oh, okay, I get it. But I don't have an army, so I can't save Your Majesty. Please save yourself."

As the sky gradually darkened, the afterglow of the setting sun gently fell on the fields outside Yunyin City like a golden veil.

Lin Zichen led a mighty army and marched here in an orderly and powerful manner.

The soldiers' armor shone brightly in the afterglow, like a golden ocean surging.

Lin Zichen rode on a tall warhorse, with an upright posture and a stern face. His deep eyes revealed the perseverance and calmness of a veteran on the battlefield.

She pulled the reins, the warhorse neighed, raised its front hooves, and then slowly dropped them.

She looked up at the vague outline of Yunyin City and thought to herself that this place had open terrain and abundant water resources, making it an ideal place to set up camp.

So she waved her hand decisively and gave a loud order: "The entire army will camp here!" The order was as heavy as a mountain, and the soldiers acted quickly.

For a moment, the field was bustling with activity, with the sounds of horses' hooves and footsteps intertwined.

The soldiers in the vanguard quickly dispersed and looked for a suitable location to set up tents.

Some soldiers skillfully unloaded heavy tent cloths, wooden stakes and ropes from their horses, working in groups of several with clear division of labor.

They first nailed the wooden stakes firmly into the ground, then spread out the tent cloth, tied it to the wooden stakes skillfully, tightened the ropes, and fixed the shape of the tent.

Soon, tents began to pop up across the field like mushrooms after rain.

The soldiers in charge of logistics were busy shuttling between the tents. Some of them were digging simple stoves, preparing to make a fire and cook, with smoke rising from the sky; some were sorting out weapons and equipment; and some were taking care of the horses, removing their saddles, brushing their bodies, and feeding them with grass. The war horses snorted from time to time.

Lin Zichen paced slowly in the camp, his eyes as sharp as torches as he carefully surveyed every corner.

Suddenly, the personal guards sent a message that someone was coming from Yunyin City, and Lin Zichen hurried to the camp gate to greet them.

Yunxiu led a group of guards out of Yunyin City and headed straight for Lin Zichen's camp. When the soldiers in the camp saw Yunxiu approaching, dressed in the official robes of the prefect, they all looked at him with curiosity and respect.

When Lin Zichen heard that Yunxiu had come to greet him personally, he hurried forward, bowed and said, "Your Highness, I am truly unworthy of such a generous gesture."

Yunxiu smiled faintly and replied, "General Lin is passing by with a large army. Although Yunyin City is small, we must show hospitality. I hope the general will not mind these few supplies." After that, she waved her hand gently, and the attendants carried over boxes of supplies.

These supplies were a dazzling array, including fresh fruits and vegetables, carefully baked dry food that exuded an enticing wheat aroma, and several jars of fine wine, with a faint rich aroma emanating from the seals of the jars.

Seeing this, Lin Zichen's eyes flashed with gratitude. "Your Highness, this is truly a timely help. The army has traveled a long way and needs these supplies. On behalf of the soldiers, I thank Your Highness."

Yun Xiu smiled and said, "General, you are ensuring the safety of the people. The people of Yunyin City are grateful to you. These supplies are just a small token of our appreciation. We wish you a successful mission and a speedy return."

Lin Zichen nodded slightly: "I will definitely live up to your expectations. If there is any need in the future, Yunyin City can just let me know, and I will definitely help you with all my strength."

Afterwards, Yunxiu exchanged a few pleasantries with Lin Zichen, asking about the progress of the march. Lin Zichen answered each question, his concern for Yunxiu and his respect for Yunyin City becoming increasingly evident.

After a brief conversation, Yunxiu saw that it was getting late and stood up to say goodbye: "General Lin, please go to bed early. I won't bother you any longer." Lin Zichen bowed again and said, "Goodbye, Your Highness. I won't see you off."

Yunxiu returned to the city with her attendants, her figure gradually disappearing in the afterglow of the setting sun.
