Dressing as Ziwei makes the Qing Dynasty more powerful

After two days of rest, the damp ground outside finally began to dry up, as if the earth had just awakened from a refreshing bath. After being trapped in the inn for two days, everyone was eager to get out and about, but for safety reasons, they waited until Emperor Qianlong gave the green light to do so.

This county town is quite large, with a large population, making it bustling and lively. Streets are lined with stalls of all kinds, selling a dazzling array of goods.

Ziwei joyfully held Yongji's chubby hands, curiously surveying the ancient Qing Dynasty streets before them. By the middle of the Qianlong Emperor's reign, the nation had flourished, reaching its peak. Just one glance at the bright smiles on everyone's faces on the street revealed a peaceful and prosperous atmosphere.

At that moment, the crowd that had been flowing continuously suddenly surged in the same direction. Ziwei was startled and quickly held Yongji's hand tightly, fearing that the little guy would be swept away by the surging crowd.

Like a nimble deer, Little Swallow quickly stopped a passerby to ask what was going on. Upon learning that Miss Du was about to hold a ceremony to find a husband by throwing a ball of embroidery, her eyes lit up with excitement. She shouted excitedly, "Wow! Someone's throwing a ball of embroidery to choose a husband! Let's hurry over and join in the fun! I've never seen anything this new and exciting in my life!" Impatiently, she rushed forward.

Qianlong, standing nearby, couldn't help but burst into laughter after hearing Xiaoyanzi's words. Under his broad sleeves, he tightly grasped the empress's delicate, soft hand and said proudly, "Haha, if that's the case, let's all go and see what's going on!"

Before he finished speaking, the group enthusiastically followed the surging crowd and hurried in that direction. Among them, the one who ran the most cheerfully was undoubtedly Xiaoyanzi. She was like a light breeze, disappearing into the crowd in the blink of an eye.

Yongqi looked back at the emperor and others who were following closely behind him, and then followed Xiaoyanzi to the front of the crowd with confidence.

Fu Erkang's eyes rolled, and he raised his voice and shouted, "Everyone, be careful, don't get separated." Then he pulled Fu Ertai forward and squeezed forward, "Ertai, this is a great opportunity. If Yongqi marries this lady, then Xiaoyanzi will be yours."

Fuertai's eyes lit up. His brother was indeed quick-witted. If Yongqi really accepted the invitation in front of so many people, the emperor would have no choice but to agree to the marriage, even if he was reluctant. Yongqi, don't blame me. If you don't work for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth.

"Sister Ziwei, let's squeeze over and join in the fun." Yongji, relying on his small size, pulled Ziwei through the crowd. In the end, they really squeezed to the front, but not in the center position under the embroidery building.

The scene was chaotic, mostly filled with young men, making a lot of noise. Soon, a woman in a wedding dress slowly walked up the tower, followed by the Du family's master, and behind them followed several maids and servants.

——"This Miss Du is so beautiful! Whoever marries her will be very lucky."

——"I heard that the Du family has already prepared the wedding and is waiting to get married right after the match is found."

"You don't know, the Du family is rich, and the young lady is even more beautiful. We have been choosing and choosing but haven't found the right one."

——"The Du family's young lady is already 22 years old. If she doesn't find a husband, she will become an old maid and no one will want her. That's why she chose to throw the ball to find a husband, leaving the choice to heaven."

Xiaoyanzi's eyes rolled around and she said with a smile, "Yongqi, Erkang and Ertai, all of you go up and grab the hydrangea. Miss Du is so beautiful, she's more than enough for you. Whoever gets it, Xiaoyanzi will decide for you."

Yongqi was helpless, "Xiaoyanzi, please don't make trouble for a while. Stay away from that hydrangea, okay?"

"Why?" Xiaoyanzi asked halfheartedly. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Mr. Du upstairs making a quiet gesture, and the crowd immediately became quiet.

Master Du nodded in satisfaction and shouted, "Fellow villagers, thank you for coming to my daughter's wedding toss. Any single man between the ages of 18 and 25 may accept the wedding toss and marry immediately. Those who are not of the required age or who already have wives and concubines please do not accept the wedding toss. I declare the wedding toss to begin!"

The crowd cheered.

Du Ruolan took the hydrangea from the maid's hand and looked at the crowd of people below. She couldn't help feeling a little annoyed. Is it really reliable to leave the future to God?

Seeing this, Master Du urged, "Ruolan, don't think too much. If the person you choose is really not good enough, Dad will never let you marry him."

With her father's words, Du Ruolan was no longer panicked. She closed her eyes and threw the hydrangea out.

The hydrangea fell on the heads of the crowd and was soon blown away to another place. Xiaoyanzi jumped very high and hit the ball towards Yongqi, Ertai and others again and again.

"Sister Ziwei, Sister Xiaoyanzi, and that Forte want Fifth Brother to marry Miss Du? Don't they know that Fifth Brother's marriage is decided by... Father?" Yongji looked at their actions in confusion. Why didn't Fifth Brother and the others throw the ball to someone else? What were they doing just hitting each other?

Ziwei watched Xiaoyanzi's movements with a cold eye. This person really refreshed her understanding time and time again. She had clearly given the racket to those three idiots, but she had hit Yongqi more times than the two idiot brothers of the Fu family combined.

Was she trying to annoy Yongqi in disguise, forcing him to make his feelings for her clear? That's how it plays out in TV dramas, isn't it?

Her behavior is understandable, but what does it mean that the Fu brothers have given the racket to Yongqi many times? Especially Fu Ertai, the calculation on his face is about to fall on others' faces.

He's really great. In the TV series, he clearly liked Xiaoyanzi but didn't dare to snatch her away. Now he actually uses such means and is not afraid of being discovered by Yongqi and creating a rift between them.

"Hey, what are you guys doing making trouble? If you don't want to receive the bouquet, don't fight for it." Master Du shouted to the people below with a dark face.

His voice made the little swallow shiver, and her body, which was flying in the air, shook. The hydrangea tilted to one side and flew straight out of the crowd.
