Accidentally dressed as an empress

Chapter 46: Retreat to advance?

morning of the second day

Yunxiu stared at the blueprint for a moment, scratching her head. She wasn't a jack of all trades, she knew everything.

Yunxiu told Zhong Yi that she had no knowledge of crossbows and could not help him, so he went to the backyard in disappointment and tinkered with it by himself.

Yunxiu began to buy some books on the history of ancient crafts in the system to transfer knowledge.

Seeing that the host was staying at home in seclusion again, researching inventions, the system couldn't help but worry about the host, [Host, host, don't forget your goal. ]

The system popped up four big words: Become the Empress.

Yunxiu said, "Tongzi, you don't understand. Isn't it more fulfilling to reform society than to fight against others?"

[But host, the main mission isn't to transform society.]

Yunxiu said earnestly, "Tongtong, the mission you gave me is that I have to be the empress, right?"

[Yes, host. 】

"It takes three to make a good team. I now have Ren Li in business, Zhou Jing in medicine, Su Qing, Zhong Yi, and Lin Zichen in martial arts, and Li Xian in law. You see, the team is already assembled. It's only a matter of time."

The system has been with the host for so long, but it still can't figure out the host's style. Her ideas are wild and unrestrained, completely out of control. She basically does whatever she wants and acts recklessly.

The host had said before that she should retreat in order to advance, but now she only retreated and never advanced. She just kept retreating, until she had nowhere to retreat.

[However, the host has not yet recruited Li Xian and Lin Zichen.] The system kindly reminded him.

Yunxiu didn't care at all and was very confident. "Why rush? We'll be able to recruit him sooner or later."

The system then said, "There are so many voices impeaching you in the court right now. The host is truly careless."

Yun Xiu raised her eyebrows. "Impeachment is nothing. I'm a deposed princess who lives far away from the court, but I've been impeached. I should thank the censors for their attention and for helping me to make my presence felt in front of His Majesty."

The host has such a unique way of thinking that Tongzi is always amazed by her actions. The host wouldn't deliberately invite a troupe of actors to come and give people a chance to talk.

The system replayed the scene for her, and the censors in the Yunji Palace focused their fire on her.

"Your Majesty, I accuse Your Highness of keeping entertainers and indulging in sensual pleasures in your residence."

"I accuse Your Highness of encroaching on the people's land."

"I accuse Your Highness of favoring flatterers and alienating virtuous people, and of associating with the lowly merchants."

Several people shouted, "Your Majesty, please choose a virtuous princess and appoint her as the crown princess."

Her Majesty the Queen did not respond and changed the subject.

The system was angry on her behalf, [Host, this isn't just a show of strength, this is smearing.]

Zhong Yi had previously helped her buy some fertile farmland on the outskirts of Lingyun City, but it was only a few acres, and she was impeached by the censors for encroaching on the people's land. Those wealthy families, without even counting the fields or the number of acres of their own land, were now accusing her of this.

Forget it, there’s no need to explain. There’s nothing to explain.

Yunxiu waved her hand and said, "Let them smear me, but a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water. Your Majesty doesn't like me anyway, and I'm going to the fiefdom anyway."

Even if she worked diligently, His Majesty wouldn't necessarily restore her to the position of Crown Princess. Forget it, then, as Yun Ji said, don't try to please His Majesty, or you'll end up flattering the wrong person.

[Went to the fiefdom? How can I come back?] The system was going crazy. Ever since the host entered the land of comfort, it started to slack off again.

"I won't come back." If I declare myself emperor, I will also be considered a female emperor.

"Tongzi, you don't understand." Yunxiu crossed his arms and said, "Who gets to sit in that seat in the end? Does it depend on who runs faster, who comes out in front? No, it depends on who can get to the end."

"To survive is to win."

The Zhong family's two generals, Zhong Rong and Zhong Ning, guarded the East Ridge and South Ridge, respectively. The Zhong family held military power over half of Yun State, so why was she so anxious? She could just wait and raise her army when the time was right.

The system believed her lies. The host just wanted to slack off and didn't want to do the mission. The host had only been serious for a few days. Zhong Yi, that troublemaker! He had completely eroded the host's ambition.

Yunxiu relaxed again, and spent some time with Zhong Yi every day. Her life was as leisurely as could be.

Anyway, there is the even more ridiculous and trouble-making Yun Ji as a comparison.

She had sent the Ubisoft Academy's cast back to Qingfeng Tower. Yun Ji should be attending Imperial College recently, so there was no one to drink with her.

Yun Ji has been retrained, which is so embarrassing.

The original owner graduated from the Imperial College at the age of eighteen and entered the court.

Yunxiu said, "Tongzi, go see what the Third Princess is doing at the Imperial Academy."

After the system showed her, Yun Ji never went to the Imperial College again. She kept skipping classes. Now, Yun Ji bought slaves in the West Market, and bought them personally.

Now, the censors should shift their focus to the issue of the Third Princess purchasing slaves.

Yunxiu went to the backyard and saw Zhong Yi in the sunlight, with her ponytail tied high and her clothes half-open at the chest. Her right foot in embroidered shoes was stepping on a wooden strip, and she was sawing the wood with both hands.

He sawed the wood strips into small pieces, and then used a wood plane and chisel to carve the small pieces into crossbow parts.

I was right. He has strong hands-on skills.

Zhong Yi shook his head like a drowned animal, raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face, and when he saw Yun Xiu, he walked up to her with sparkling eyes and said with a smile, "Your Highness."

Yunxiu handed him a bowl of papaya juice soaked in cold water and wiped the sweat off his face with a towel.

Zhong Yi drank the papaya juice. Yunxiu gathered his clothes and said, "Wear shorts when you work." Who is he trying to seduce?

The only male guard who was guarding him secretly was Su Shiyi, while the other two were female guards.

We have to ask Su Da to replace the other two with male guards.

Yunxiu domineeringly held Zhong Yi in front of her and kissed his hot and flushed face. Zhong Yi was also excited and pushed Yunxiu, and Yunxiu's back rested against the vermilion lacquered pillar.

She found it somewhat novel. Was he becoming more aggressive and wanting to counterattack?

Yunxiu clamped his hands with one hand, raised them above his head, and pressed them against the vermilion lacquered pillar.

After a long while, Yunxiu calmed down and said to Zhong Yi, "Let's go to the West Market after lunch and buy some slaves to farm on the outskirts of the city."

How can I be left out of this muddy water in Xishi?

She knew the right thing to do was to sit back and watch, but she still wanted to join in the fun.
