Accidentally dressed as an empress

Cui Ti passed on the decree, "Your Majesty has ordered that the Grand Princess enter the palace to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet."

Yunxiu originally planned to go to Linjiang Town in person, but now it is impossible. Su Qing and Gu Zezhi are not officials, so it may be inconvenient for them to do so.

Su Qing said that Gu Zezhi had sent her a message that Li Xian and a team of garrison troops would go with them.

Su Qing has already contacted Gu Zezhi.

Yunxiu said to herself, "Not bad, not bad, Gu Zezhi, maybe he will help me for Su Qing's sake."

Yunxiu used the Word Spirit this time. Fortunately, no life span was deducted. This showed that the two of them had some potential.

After the time is deducted, she will no longer be able to use the Word Spirit. Although her life span is not long, at 60 years old, she now has 51 years and 5 months left, which is enough.

I hope Su Qing and Gu Zezhi can get closer and closer as I wish. Gu Zezhi is an old bachelor, a leftover man in his thirties. I will match you up, so just be happy.

In Qingfeng Tower, Gu Zezhi caught the pigeon that landed on his shoulder and suddenly sneezed.

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

As August begins, it rains more frequently.

On August 15th, it was overcast and rainy. This was the Mid-Autumn Festival. Steward Li had prepared sweet-scented osmanthus cakes and sweet-scented osmanthus wine. The servants in the mansion discussed the matter and went to the East Market to watch the fun in the evening.

Yunxiu took a bath and changed her clothes, and when she was ready, she asked Su Da to drive the carriage into the palace.

The palace banquet began at 3:00 p.m.

Holding an umbrella, she was led by palace servants to the Minghuang Hall in Changning Palace. Inside the Minghuang Hall, the lights were brightly lit.

Today is the palace banquet, and all the princes and ministers are here.

The palace maid led her to her seat, and her seat was placed together with the third princess and the fifth prince.

The fifth prince was already seated, and Yunxiu calmly took his seat. At this time, the third princess also arrived.

Yunxiu looked up and saw His Majesty was sitting in the main seat, with his husband Lin Hong in the second. But His Majesty arrived late, holding Yi tightly in his arms.

His Majesty and Yi sat together on the main seat.

After three rounds of wine, His Majesty smiled and asked General Lin Nan, "Young Master Lin, is there anyone you can marry?"

"Your Majesty, Ziqi is only fourteen years old and has not yet married."

Lin Hong glanced at Lin Nan and exchanged a look with her, and the hall fell silent.

His Majesty looked towards the Third Princess's seat and said, "How about Lin Xiaolang getting engaged to the Third Princess?"

The Third Princess frowned. Lin Nan pondered, "This..."

Lin Hong gently came out to help, saying, "Little Lin is still young, it's not time for marriage yet. There are so many young men waiting to be married in Lingyun City..."

The other ministers were sweating profusely and waved their hands, "My young man is already engaged."

"My little man is also engaged."

Yun Ji's expression was visibly grim. These noble families had quickly rejected the marriage proposal, fearing they would be implicated.

Putting aside the Third Princess's character, her fiefdom was incredibly remote. No one would want their young man to follow her to the north to suffer.

I heard that it is close to the Rong tribe and is a wild and desolate place.

Those families who had unmarried young men acted quickly and arranged their marriages before the marriage was granted.

They probably didn't want their young man to get engaged to the eldest princess. The eldest princess's fiefdom was still unknown. What if it was a remote miasma-filled place? It would be worse than a wild place.

His Majesty embraced Yi and asked, "Yi, do you have any cousins?"

Yi replied weakly, "Yes."

"Where are your family members?"

"My mother is outside the palace now." Thanks to him, Yi's mother was promoted from a ninth-rank clerk to a seventh-rank official.

Of course, a seventh-rank official is still not qualified to sit in the inner hall at a palace banquet.

"Xuan."

His Majesty smiled and said, "The young man from the Yi family is a perfect match for the Third Princess."

The ministers also echoed, "The woman is talented and the man is handsome, a perfect match."

"It's a match made in heaven."

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

Yun Ji clenched his fists and his face flushed.

Your Majesty arranged for her to marry Yi's younger brother, a male favorite who was not worthy of being in public. Your Majesty rejected the marriage by saying that he was from a noble family. It was not enough to humiliate her once, but he continued to humiliate her.

Yi's mother came into the hall. She was also a person from a small family who was not worthy of being in the public eye. She looked around at the magnificent golden columns with a fawning smile and a sense of commercialism.

His Majesty said that he would marry her young man to the Third Emperor's daughter. Mother Yi was overjoyed. This was like a piece of heaven falling on her head. She quickly knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Thank you for your grace."

A pair of brothers, one entered the palace to serve His Majesty, and the other married the third princess.

Too bad.

But no one talks about ethics.

Yi's mother only saw the future glory and wealth, while the ministers only thought about protecting themselves.

Yunxiu watched this wonderful show with cold eyes.

His Majesty raised his wine cup in the direction of the military supply envoy Zhong An and said, "Zhong Qi, the young man of the Zhong family, is a perfect match for Your Highness."

Zhong An looked at Yunxiu, who had a gentle face and a calm smile, and said, "You are a perfect match made in heaven. Thank you for your grace." As he said this, he finished a glass of wine.

Yun Se laughed and finished the wine in the wine cup.

The atmosphere in the hall eased a lot.

Next, His Majesty arranged a marriage for the fifth prince.

The fifth prince, Yun Jue, is engaged to Sun Ruoxi, the daughter of Sun Ying, the dean of the Imperial Academy. The dean immediately expresses his gratitude to His Majesty.

Upon hearing this, Yun Jue looked at Yun Ji with his round, deer-like eyes, a look of despair in his eyes.

Taking advantage of the cover of the wide dress, Yun Jue reached out and held Yun Ji's hand. Yun Ji's expression remained unchanged and he did not dodge.

After solving the three major issues, His Majesty was very pleased and ordered music to be played. Bells and chimes rang out and dancers filed in.

Everyone drank and chatted, and the atmosphere became lively.

Everyone congratulated the princesses and princes, and the sound of blessings was endless.

Yunxiu also drank a lot of wine offered by others, and began to feel dizzy and unable to hold her liquor.

Yun Ji and Yun Jue quietly retreated outside the hall.

In the shadow of the tree, Yun Jue hugged Yun Ji's waist and buried his head in her arms like a little animal, "Aji, I don't want to get married..."

Yun Ji raised her hand to embrace him, but eventually withdrew her hand and closed her eyes. "You have to get married eventually."

"Aji... take me away." Yun Jue said in a muffled voice.

Yun Ji frowned, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Yun Jue raised his head, stood on tiptoe next to her ear, and whispered, "Aji, actually, the night before we left Jingming Palace, I liked her... I didn't want to... But Daddy separated us..."

Yun Ji sneered and pushed Yun Jue away, "You are such a slut. Tell me, if your fiancée knew you had such thoughts, would she still want you?"

Yun Jue looked at her in confusion, "Aji...why have you changed?"

Yun Ji said with a cold face, "I haven't changed, I just don't want to pretend anymore. If you keep pestering me, it will only annoy me."

Yun Jue's eyes welled up with tears, "What are you pretending?"

Yun Ji said coldly, "From childhood to adulthood, my kindness to you was all fake, all to please Noble Lady Zhang. Before being raised by Noble Lady Zhang, I lived in the palace, bullied by the palace servants. Because of you, I can be freed from that situation. Do you understand?"

Yun Jue didn't care and hugged her waist again, his tears soaking her clothes, "Aji, you lied to me, I don't believe it... I don't believe a single word you said..."

Yun Ji pulled his arm away and strode away. Yun Jue slid down to the ground, covering his lips with a handkerchief, crying uncontrollably.
