Accidentally dressed as an empress

Chapter 25: Grand Opening Banquet

July 30

The day of the banquet finally arrived.

In the morning, Yunxiu opened her panda eyes. She had been staring at the crescent moon by the window and the osmanthus tree outside the courtyard all night.

Yes, she suffered from insomnia.

The system finally couldn't stand it anymore and reminded, "Host, with your previous personality, if someone knew so much about you and wanted to switch sides, you would have just killed them."

Yunxiu waved her hand, "No, he's my cousin."

The system said, [When have you ever been bound by the original owner's identity?]

Yunxiu shook her head, [He is my 100 points.]

[You have read the books you bought, so think of the points as being spent on yourself.]

【He is an SSR. 】

[To put it bluntly, host, you just can't bear to let go. For half a month, you've been completely bewitched by him. I even suspect you've been possessed by some strange being.]

【You are the one who is possessed. 】

[The iron tree has blossomed, and the host is in love~]

[I'm in love with you, you bastard. I'm not. I just feel like my little brother has grown up, his wings have hardened, and he's ready to fly away.]

[Host, you are just deceiving yourself. ]

When Lin Zichen is mentioned, he becomes jealous like a devil and still acts stubbornly.

Yunxiu washed her face hastily, went outside the study, and said to Zhong Yi inside, "Today's banquet preparations are up to you. Call me when you need to attend in the evening."

Yunxiu returned to Zhongxiuyuan's couch and took a nap. Well, it turns out she was very particular about her bed. She couldn't sleep because it was the wrong bed, and even then, she persisted until dawn.

In the afternoon, it was Su Qing who woke her up.

Zhong Yi did not show up.

Zhong Yi did not show up at the banquet either.

She followed Zhong Yi's advice and dismissed the guests, asking them to turn to the Third Princess instead. However, the Third Princess was under house arrest and could not attend the banquet. As expected, plans cannot keep up with changes.

Yunxiu was very annoyed. Next time, she would find a more obedient younger brother, and Ren Li would be very obedient.

Zhong Yi, what does he want?

Yunxiu controlled herself from thinking too much, kept smiling and greeted the guests.

The guests walked to the door of the mansion with the wooden invitation slips. Yunxiu bowed to them, and they returned the greeting one by one, and then took their seats under the guidance of Su Qing.

Among the people she knew, Li Xian, Zhong Lu, Zhou Jing and others were there. Gu Yun was studying abroad and had not returned yet.

Lin Zichen didn’t come either, which is good.

After everyone gathered, the banquet began.

She invited the best music band from Qingfeng Tower, with zithers, shengs, flutes, bells, drums, and chimes playing in unison.

At the banquet, Liu Jin danced with a fan in hand, wearing a purple silk satin skirt embroidered with mandala flowers and a moon-white gauze dress, and she was secretly flirting with Yun Xiu.

Although Liu Jin's appearance was not as good as Zhong Yi's, her every frown and smile was full of charm. Yun Xiu was completely indifferent. Poor Liu Jin cast her seductive eyes to the blind man.

Yunxiu also saw a young man playing the flute, wearing a willow-green robe, but he was not as handsome as Zhong Yi. Among them, no one could compare to Zhong Yi.

Yunxiu raised her glass, said a drinking game, and invited the guests to drink together. Dishes were gradually placed on the table in front of each person: roasted pork, sashimi of mutton, and a 铏 soup. The 铏 was shaped like a tripod, with three legs and a lid on top, like a small hot pot.

Zhong Yi organized the banquet in an orderly manner, but he was nowhere to be seen.

Yunxiu's heart was in turmoil, so she drank a few more glasses. Why did this green wine make people drunk so slowly?

Yunxiu suddenly realized that a man in a purple dress was approaching. She hugged him and said, "Ayi..."

"Your Highness..."

Yunxiu looked closely and saw a strange face with a pair of peach blossom eyes. "Who are you?"

The man placed his hand on her chest and said, "I am Liu Jin... Your Highness once saved me... Your Highness is truly forgetful..."

Yunxiu stepped back and asked, "What do you want?"

The man came close to her, and the fragrance of flowers filled her nose, like a butterfly.

Liu Jin said, "Your Highness, help me get rid of the woman who is entangled with me, and I will help you forget your emotional pain."

"Love wound?" Yunxiu pushed Liu Jin away, "I don't have any love wounds, I don't need any."

Liu Jin was about to go into her arms again, but Yun Xiu had already stood up.

Yunxiu came out of the main hall and walked to the osmanthus tree in the courtyard to enjoy the breeze, leaning against the tree to clear her mind.

A woman in a green bamboo-patterned robe approached. It was Zhou Jing. She bowed and said, "Your Highness, you once said I could come to you if I ran into any trouble."

Yunxiu's eyes were hazy as she asked, "What trouble are you in?"

"Your Highness, could you lend me some money?" Zhou Jing paused, "I want to redeem Liu Jin."

Yunxiu agreed very readily, "Why not?"

Zhou Jing said gratefully, "Thank you, Your Highness. I will definitely pay you back the fifty gold coins. Can I pay you back in installments?"

Fifty gold? How much is that?

Is the price of an Oiran so high?

Not to mention that Zhou Jing couldn't come up with fifty gold, it was not easy for Yunxiu to come up with fifty gold at once.

Zhou Jing's friends are not rich, so she can't borrow that much money. After thinking about it, Zhou Jing can only think of borrowing money from His Highness.

System prompt: [Congratulations to the host for recruiting SSR Zhou Jing. ]

Yunxiu's mind was still filled with alcohol, and she didn't hear the system's words clearly.

The system said, "The host truly has an unexpected success. Zhou Jing is the daughter of the Zhou family, a royal physician. The Zhou family has been practicing medicine for generations, and the host has witnessed her medical skills."

[The host also let go of two SSRs. Li Xian is really good. Let's recruit her next time.]

Yunxiu could only feel a constant buzzing in her ears, [Noisy, silence.]

Yunxiu propped up her head and tried to find Zhong Yi, so she asked a waiter serving food, "Where is Mr. Zhong?"

The attendant said, "Your Highness, Mr. Zhong is serving in the kitchen."

Yunxiu then walked towards the kitchen in the east, taking one step forward and one step back.

On this side, in the courtyard full of osmanthus trees, Zhou Jing was about to return to the main hall, but ran into Liu Jin who came out to look for someone, and she held his arm.

Liu Jin saw that it was this woman who was pestering him again and immediately became annoyed. "What do you want to say? Don't block me from going to see His Highness."

Zhou Jing took Liu Jin's hand and said, "I know that in your past environment, climbing up the social ladder and bullying the weak was common, but after you become a good person, are you willing to stay with me?"

"Who wants to be a good person? I'm doing well in Qingfeng Tower. I won't be a good person!"

"I will redeem you, and you won't have to go back there again."

Liu Jin frowned, "Are you crazy? Can you afford the ransom?"

Zhou Jing replied, "I borrowed the money."

Liu Jin looked at the focused woman and knew she had gone too far in her joke. "You're really into me? Hahahaha... That's ridiculous!"

"Liu Jin, I'm sincere." Zhou Jing pleaded softly, "Can we get married? I'm pregnant."

They slept together for two nights. This conservative woman was not able to let go at all, which was really boring. Then he went back to Qingfeng Tower by himself.

He got her pregnant in just two nights? He was truly amazing. However, Liu Jin naturally wouldn't take responsibility.

"You're pregnant? You're a doctor, don't you know how to handle this?" Liu Jin pushed Zhou Jing away. "Don't bother me anymore. You've made it so I can't even open my business in Qingfeng Tower."

Liu Jin walked past her and said, "You are not allowed to follow me either."
