Accidentally dressed as an empress

With the concerted efforts of everyone, the preparations for the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony are proceeding step by step, just waiting for the arrival of that sacred day. Yunxiu will receive the blessing of heaven at the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony.

That day, Yunxiu finished handling state affairs and asked Lord Li, the Minister of Sacrifices, to stay with her. She sat upright in the main seat of the imperial study, her expression gentle yet undeniably resolute. She spoke slowly, "Lord Li, I intend to attend this Heavenly Sacrifice with Empress Zhong Yi."

Upon hearing this, Lord Li was slightly startled, and a hint of hesitation flashed across his face.

She clasped her fists and saluted, saying respectfully, "Your Majesty, according to ancestral rules, sacrifices to heaven are usually performed by the emperor himself. Although he may be accompanied by royal relatives, there has never been a precedent for presiding over the sacrifice together with the emperor and empress. I hope Your Majesty will reconsider."

Yunxiu smiled softly, her gaze gazing out the window at the palace walls, her thoughts drifting away. "Lord Li, I understand your concerns. You're worried about the King and Queen participating in government. In fact, the Queen Mother already made an exception and allowed Lord Gu Zezhi to serve in the court. I believe that anyone, regardless of gender, who possesses talent should be given the opportunity to display their talents. Besides, the King and Queen share my ideals and have always silently supported and assisted me. For this sacrifice to heaven, I want to work hand in hand with him and share this responsibility."

Lord Li pondered for a moment, secretly admiring Yunxiu's courage. He bowed again and said, "Your Majesty is very understanding. Since Your Majesty has made up your mind, I will go and rearrange the heavenly sacrifice process to ensure that everything goes smoothly."

Inside the clothing bureau, the lights remained on all night.

The desk was piled with colorful silk threads. Sixteen embroiderers sat around the desk, concentrating on sewing. The fine stitches jumped on the silk, making a rustling sound.

The head embroiderer, Nanny Wang, held the blueprint in her hand and paced back and forth, carefully examining every detail and occasionally leaning over to correct the embroiderer's needlework.

Thanks to everyone's unremitting efforts, the dress was finally completed.

When Yunxiu and Queen Jun stepped into the clothing department, they were shocked by the gorgeous clothes in front of them.

The sacrificial robe has a black base and is embroidered with the sun, moon and stars outlined in gold and silver threads. It shines brightly, as if the vast universe is worn on the body.

The patterns of mountains, rivers, and the country are lifelike, and the winding rivers and towering mountains fully demonstrate the spirit of a great country.

Yunxiu stroked the dress gently, her eyes full of admiration, "The craftsmanship of the Shangyi Bureau is truly amazing and amazing."

After everyone from the Clothing Bureau left, only Yunxiu and Zhong Yi were left in the hall.

The warm yellow candlelight flickered, stretching the figures of the two people out.

Yunxiu held up the dress and asked Zhong Yi, "Do you want to try it on?"

Zhong Yi nodded.

Yunxiu walked behind Zhong Yi, gently placed her hands on his shoulders, and said in a low and gentle voice: "Then I will help Ayi."

Zhong Yi nodded slightly, a faint blush on her cheeks.

Yunxiu's fingers nimbly untied the laces of his shirt. Her movements were gentle, and each touch seemed to carry an electric current, causing Zhong Yi's heart to tremble slightly.

The outer shirt slowly slipped off, leaving Zhong Yi in only his undershirt, revealing his fair neck.

Yunxiu picked up the black sacrificial dress and gently draped it over Zhong Yi's shoulders. Her fingertips inadvertently brushed across his Adam's apple, causing Zhong Yi to tremble slightly.

Yunxiu's breath sprayed on Zhong Yi's ears, "Ayi, you are so beautiful."

Zhong Yi lowered his head and met Yunxiu's eyes, his eyes full of affection.

Seeing him like this, Yunxiu couldn't help herself and was about to kiss him. Zhong Yi turned his head away and said, "A Xiu, don't ruin your dress."

Afterwards, Zhong Yi also helped Yunxiu put on her sacrificial dress.

His fingers were at her collar, adjusting the accessories on her collar. Yunxiu took Zhong Yi's hand and pulled him closer, their breaths intertwined.

"After the sacrifice to heaven, I will officially ascend the throne." Yunxiu said softly. At that time, her mission would be completed.

Zhong Yi said: "Well, Ah Xiu, let's strengthen the Yun Kingdom together."

Yunxiu placed a kiss on the corner of Zhong Yi's mouth. "With you by my side, this country will surely prosper."

The two embraced each other, their sacrificial robes overlapping each other.
