Accidentally dressed as an empress

Chapter 36 New Neighbor Next Door

Yunxiu discovered that she had a new neighbor.

Yunxiu was lying on the couch in the study of her own mansion, closing her eyes to absorb the knowledge transmitted by the system, when her thoughts were interrupted by a burst of noise.

She listened carefully and heard the noise coming from next door.

In the long-silent five-courtyard mansion next door, the sounds of horse hooves hitting the ground and wheels rolling were endless, and the palace servants were busy coming in and out like a stream.

Apparently it was no longer vacant.

The third princess Yun Ji recently left the palace to set up her own residence, which happened to be next to the eldest princess's residence. The queen mother's intentions are very profound.

The ministers were all expecting the two princesses to fight, but what they saw was calm and the sisters were friendly and respectful to each other.

The ministers were also worried because the Third Princess already had a fiefdom, but it was in the barren north.

The eldest princess stepped down from the position of Crown Princess and showed no signs of recovery for a while.

Neither of the two older princesses had the emperor's favor. What should they do? Should they try to befriend the Sixth and Seventh Princesses, who were only thirteen or fourteen years old?

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

When a new neighbor arrives, Yunxiu naturally goes to visit and say hello. Yunxiu considers herself to be very friendly and welcoming.

After crossing a hanging flower gate, you will enter Yun Ji's mansion, where pavilions and towers are scattered around and the flowers and trees are flourishing.

Yunxiu walked across the bluestone bridge and through the gaps between the flowers and green leaves, she caught a glimpse of Yun Ji practicing with a spear on the training ground in the center of the courtyard. Yun Ji was agile and flew up and down, and his spear cut through the air, making a humming sound.

When Yun Ji saw Yun Xiu coming to visit him, he put away his spear and placed it back on the weapon rack.

Yun Ji's face was covered in sweat, but he looked very happy.

Yunxiu said, "Third sister, you are in a good mood. I came to your house to drink with you."

Yun Ji looked at Yun Xiu with a smile and said, "Now, I am the same as my elder sister."

Yunxiu was puzzled, "Why do you say that?"

"Your Majesty doesn't like me, nor does my elder sister. We both have no chance of inheriting the throne," Yun Ji continued. "But I won't be like my elder sister, hustling and trying to please His Majesty. She's like a monkey, jumping up and down for Shui Zhongyue, but she can never reach her."

This poisonous mouth truly lives up to your name, the venomous Third Princess. Forget it, considering you've successfully made His Majesty sick and are a great contributor, I won't hold it against you.

"Alas, I'm not trying to please you, I just won't contradict your majesty." The Yunxiu sisters came closer, raised their arms, and patted Yun Ji's shoulders. "Don't make your majesty unhappy. If you confront him head-on and anger him, what good will you gain?"

Yun Ji's face froze, but he didn't avoid her. "I'm different from my elder sister. I won't flatter you."

"You're right, you're the most upright." Yunxiu smiled. "Which young man has His Majesty arranged for you to marry?"

Yun Ji said directly, "My eldest sister hasn't married yet, how can I marry before her?"

Yunxiu's expression froze. Yun Ji had a talent for always making conversation die down.

Yunxiu was magnanimous and didn't take it to heart. "Maybe we'll marry each other. Come on, let's go to my house, have a drink and listen to some music."

[The host, a person pretending to be an e-person, made a huge sacrifice for Yun Ji.]

[System, how is it? Can I recruit now?]

The system's ruthless mechanical voice rang out, "No."

Yunxiu pulled Yunji back to the mansion. Yunji held his sword tightly, glancing at the servants and guards coming and going, as if ready to draw his sword at any moment.

Yunxiu asked Butler Li, "Is the Ubisoft Courtyard tidied up?"

Butler Li said, "Your Highness, everything has been rearranged."

Yunxiu nodded, grabbed Yunji's arm, and dragged her through the corridor.

Yun Ji felt very uncomfortable, "If you want to listen to music, you can go to Qingfeng Tower."

"I've borrowed the Qingfeng Tower's troupe of actors to bring to my house," Yunxiu said. She had previously given Gu Zezhi fifty gold coins for free, and Gu Zezhi had agreed to lend her the troupe for six months.

From afar one could hear the melodious sound of stringed instruments. The musicians plucked the strings, the music was cheerful, the musicians nodded their heads, and the attendants danced to the songs. It was still daytime, but the place was already as bustling as a market.

Looking at the scene in the Ubisoft Academy, Yun Ji was confused. His Majesty said that the eldest sister was steady. Is the eldest sister steady like this?

When something is out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong. Yun Ji was cautiously on guard against ambushes and assassinations in the dark.

Yunxiu pulled Yunji to sit down, but Yunji couldn't resist Yunxiu's enthusiasm and had to sit down with her.

Yun Ji raised her glass and sniffed the wine, its rich aroma intoxicating. She drank the wine Yun Xiu had urged her to drink, and after waiting for a long time, Yun Xiu's face flushed and his mouth full of nonsense, Yun Ji still hadn't waited for the assassin to arrive.

By the end of the drinking, I had forgotten all about being on guard.

Yunxiu asked the system again, "Can I recruit now?"

[Still can't. There's no other way. Yun Ji is determined and has her own way.]

Yunxiu was also a little surprised. Yun Ji had already found her own way?

Similar to the situation where kings don't meet each other, she couldn't recruit Yun Ji because Yun Ji wanted to start his own business and was unwilling to be inferior to others.

I can't recruit anyone, what a waste of my dinner. Yunxiu thought, I should make the best use of it.

Yunxiu called Su Da over and asked her to tell the people below that the third princess was a guest at the eldest princess's residence and that the two of them had a good drink and chatted happily, and to spread the news.

Yun Xiu said to the system in her heart, "Since Yun Ji can't be recruited, let's find an opportunity to go to the Nei Shi Mansion and see Li Xian."

The melon-eating system rarely saw the host no longer being careless, and asked, "Host, are you going to take it seriously?"

Yun Xiu said, [That's right, I will do my mission well.]

To grow stronger, she needed more help and support. She had already used her Word Spirit six times: on Zhong Yi, Lin Zichen, Yun Ji, Zhong Yuan, and the Queen. She also used it once for fun.

But now, she only has four important SSR cards: Zhong Yi, Ren Li, Zhou Jing, and Su Qing.

That unreliable Ren Li is actually considered her SSR.

Zhou Jing's card has been disconnected, and she has gone traveling around.

Zhong Yi cards, when playing idle, are almost the same as having them.

Ren Li's cards have also lost contact. Ren Li is traveling around doing business, the kind that will disappear without a trace.

Yunxiu was helpless. In the end, Su Qing was the only one who could use her.

Su Qing was devotedly loyal to the original owner. The Su family was once a renowned military family, on par with the Lin family. Su Qing, a member of a branch of the Su family, was implicated in the case of Su Yan, the former commander of the garrison, and forced into slavery. The original owner helped Su Qing and his family escape their slavery, and Su Qing, grateful to her, remained loyal to her.

Su Qing was also very capable. Yun Xiu asked her to send twenty people to escort Ren Li on his business trip, taking away a quarter of the guards. Su Qing then recruited a new group of guards, one old man and two newcomers, quickly replenishing the number of guards in the Grand Princess's Palace.

The few people Su Qing brought up were all good fighters. Su Qing went to investigate the spy organization, and Su Da was now accompanying Yun Xiu.

Now, it’s time to gradually close the net on the spy organization.
