Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

Xiao Yunxi told Zhou Jin her guess, not saying it was a time travel, but that they might have the same master.

Thinking about Yang Meir's past, she is indeed somewhat similar to Xiao Yunxi, but Yang Meir should not have the ability to enter the immortal cave.

"If you put it that way, it makes sense."

Yang Meir is already dead, and there is probably no one on the emperor's side who will make new weapons for him, so the threat to them will be much smaller.

Taking advantage of her injury, Xiao Yunxi hid in her house and did not go out again. Unlike the turmoil she had expected, the capital was calm.

The biggest focus may be the issue of reducing the power of the feudal lords.

Ever since Prince Qing proposed to reduce the power of the princes, the princes have been secretly ready to make moves, and even the princes who are far away in their fiefdoms have begun to have ideas.

Prince Lu was the vassal prince closest to the capital, and he was also the emperor's elder brother. It was the empress dowager's request that he be placed in the place closest to the capital.

Prince Qing sent Zhu Guangxiao as a lobbyist, hoping to cooperate with him.

"Your Majesty and I are brothers. Why should I help you? What good will it do me?"

"His Highness is your nephew, why can't you help?"

"Tell me something practical that can move me."

Zhu Guangxiao took out a memorial and handed it to Prince Lu. After reading it, his face changed drastically. The memorial contained all the bad things he had done over the years, including evidence of raising private soldiers.

"Your Majesty has already begun an investigation and has gathered sufficient evidence. To abolish the feudal system, we need a breakthrough, and Your Highness Prince Lu, you are that breakthrough."

Prince Lu threw the memorial to the ground and roared:

"Impossible! Even if he had evidence, he wouldn't touch me. Otherwise, how would he explain to the Queen Mother?"

After all, they are brothers, which is somewhat different from half-brothers. The Queen Mother is still alive, and the Emperor wants his reputation. As long as he is not really rebelling,

Prince Lu didn't think the emperor would take action against him.

Zhu Guangxiao laughed heartily:

"At the last state banquet, the Queen Mother interfered in state affairs many times, which His Majesty did not like and even warned her. I guess the Queen Mother should remind you to keep a low profile, right?"

A good lobbyist must not deceive people with lies, but must use the truth to form new logic to make people believe.

King Lu obviously believed it.

What he didn't know was that Zhu Guangxiao came to see him without hiding his whereabouts, so the emperor naturally knew about it immediately.

"Inform the musketeers that if Prince Lu dares to mobilize his private army, he will be killed without mercy."

When the emperor proposed to reduce the power of the feudal lords, he guessed that people's hearts would be uneasy, so he made preparations early on. Shadow guards were keeping watch, and musket troops had already been sent to the fiefdoms.

If the princes wanted to rebel, the musketeers would carry out a decapitation operation, which was why the emperor exposed the musket to test Xiao Yunxi.

The Musketeers have been formed and will soon be unveiled to the world. What good would it do even if we knew it in advance?

Amidst the turmoil in the capital, Xiao Yunxi's wedding day is drawing closer.

The night before yesterday,

Shen Cong and Madam Shen came to add makeup for Xiao Yunxi on behalf of the Shen family. She gave her clothes embroidered by the female members of the Shen family and a pair of beautiful embroidered shoes.

There were two bright red quilts embroidered with pictures of mandarin ducks playing in the water. Besides that, there were gold and silver jewelry, two sets of head ornaments, and two sets of bracelets.

Things are nothing to the Shen family, the main thing is the thought.

Xu's family, Zheng's family, and Murong's family all sent gifts to add to the dowry.

The Murong family's affairs have not been resolved yet, but the emperor has allowed them to communicate with the outside world, otherwise they would not be able to send out the additional beauties.

Zhou Shiya's child has been born, a big fat boy. With the food Xiao Yunxi sends every once in a while, both the child and the adult are in good health.

It's a pity that I can't come to congratulate you in person.

The dowries for the Empress, the Prince of Qin's Palace, and the two princes and princesses were much richer, with countless gold and silver, precious medicinal materials, various jewelry, famous paintings, and porcelain.

Xiao Yunxi wanted to refuse, but Nanny Zhong smiled and stopped her from being polite.

"The Queen said that these are all gifts from her heart and must be accepted. If you are polite to her, the Queen will be unhappy. Tomorrow she will come to support you in person."

Xiao Yunxi had to accept it. She thanked Aunt Zhong, and Aunt Zhong took her hand:

"This old servant wants to thank the Crown Princess. Ever since Her Majesty followed your recipe and took the medicine, Her Majesty hasn't had a headache for a long time."

"That's good... Madam's illness needs to be treated."

The two chatted for a while. Xiao Yunxi still had to entertain other guests, and Nanny Zhong also returned to the palace.

The Xiao Mansion was bustling with activity, and the backyard of the Zhou Mansion was also unusually lively. The brothers who were responsible for picking up the bride tomorrow were pouring wine into Zhou Jin.

He accepted everything that was offered to him, and by the end he was unconscious, and he was yelling:

"Get married."

"I want to get married."

"Yunxi, wait for me."

Because of this incident, Zhou Jin was laughed at for a long time.

On the wedding day, before the cock crowed, the maid left by the Queen Mother began to dress her in her wedding clothes.

The wedding dress was made by the Queen herself. The empress's bridal robe was made of silk, light and smooth.

The robes of women of high rank in the Great Xia Dynasty were all made of dark red silk. The robes of dukes and third-rank officials were embroidered with gold patterns of clouds, phoenixes and pheasants, while those of third- and fourth-rank officials were embroidered with gold patterns of clouds, phoenixes and peacocks.

Xiao Yunxi was conferred the title of First Rank Imperial Edict by the Emperor, and the ceremonial design used was naturally a golden embroidered cloud and phoenix pattern.

In Daxia weddings, women can take the initiative, which is also the origin of the phoenix crown and shawl. There is a lifelike golden phoenix on Xiao Yunxi's shawl.

The phoenix crown is also turquoise in color and is inlaid with blue and red gems. On the back of the neck are several light green and yellow stripes that look like fan bones. The tail is slightly curved and very stunning.

"Mom, you are so beautiful."

"Yun Xi is so beautiful,"

"As a woman, I am moved."

Xia Moli held her face in her hands, acting like a crazy fan. Xiao Yunxi was indeed very beautiful tonight.

She has a small and delicate appearance. Today's bright red wedding dress makes her look even more charming, especially her makeup.

Xiao Yunxi's makeup skills are amazing in themselves. Tang Xiaowan inherited her true skills and the light makeup she puts on her makes her even more beautiful.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Xiao Yunxi suddenly felt something strange. In her previous life, she had never thought about getting married, but she didn't expect to get married after traveling through time.

How she wished that the director of the orphanage and her brothers and sisters could be there to witness her wedding.

"Yunxi, be happy."

"Mom, be happy."

"Sister Yunxi, I wish you happiness."

There are the aunts who fled together from the northwest, Dabao, Xiaobao, Niuniu and her children, and Xia Moli, a friend she met in Beijing.

When a wealthy family marries off their daughter, they always have to celebrate for several days in advance. Xiao Yunxi doesn't have any contact with her father, and there is no elder in the family.

Her aunts are her elders, and Dabao, Xiaobao and Niuniu are her family, and they all give her the most sincere blessings.

Outside the Xiao Mansion, firecrackers were blasting and gongs and drums were beating. The wedding procession had arrived.

"The prince's wedding procession has arrived at the door, the bride should get ready."

Xiao Yunxi took a deep breath and covered herself with red hair.
