Transmigrated Female Official

The Queen's appearance startled everyone.

The sixth princess was the first to react, and stepped forward to say to the empress, "Your Majesty, you drew this conclusion too early."

"What does Anyang mean...?" The Empress narrowed her eyes, indicating her confusion.

The Sixth Princess smiled but did not continue to explain. Instead, she turned around, picked up two cups filled with wine, handed one to Zhi Jun, and said softly, "Prince Zhi Jun, would you like to drink this cup with me?"

The Sixth Princess and Zhi Jun had just danced together, and now she's inviting him to drink with her...

After a few seconds of stunned silence, Zhi Jun's face flushed bright red! "You...you're asking me?"

The Sixth Princess chuckled and said, "Could there be another prince named Zhi Jun?"

"Wait...wait a minute...let me catch my breath." Zhi Jun was too shocked to speak for a moment, and he quickly took a few deep breaths.

"You're not thinking about how to reject me, are you?" the sixth princess asked.

"No, that's not true!" Zhi Jun said hurriedly, "I was just... too excited. I never thought I, Zhi Jun, would be in this situation..."

Zhi Jun's words drew laughter from everyone. The Sixth Princess's bright eyes flashed, and she said with feigned helplessness, "My arm is tired from holding it up. Are you going to take it or not?"

"Princess Anyang, may I... ask you a question first?" Even though he was in high spirits and his heart was pounding, he still tried his best to maintain the last bit of rationality.

The Sixth Princess raised an eyebrow and said generously, "Alright, Zhi Jun, please ask."

Zhi Jun took a deep breath and said, "I, Zhi Jun, am simple-minded and have nothing but brute strength... How could Princess Anyang possibly be interested in someone like me...?" The more he spoke, the less confident he became.

After hearing his question, the Sixth Princess smiled, revealing her pearly white teeth. "In my opinion, Prince Zhijun is an exceptionally good person, and also very reliable. Just think about it, why wouldn't I like someone who makes me both happy and at ease?"

A seemingly frail and boneless sixth princess, with just a few words, made the face of the burly man Zhi Jun turn even redder. Most people would praise his immense strength, but he had never heard anyone say such a thing before, so he was completely at a loss for words…

He paused for a moment, then simply took the wine glass and intertwined his wrist with the Sixth Princess's. "Princess Anyang, please."

The sixth princess smiled and said to him, "Let's drink together."

Zhi Jun nodded, and the two of them drank their wine in one gulp...

"Congratulations, brother!" Fusang was genuinely happy for Zhijun. "Sister Anyang, from now on we're family!"

“Yes, sister.” The Sixth Princess gently wiped the remaining wine from her lips with her jade-like fingers, then turned to the Empress and said, “Your Majesty, An Yang and Zhi Jun are in love. I hope Your Majesty will grant their wish.”

The Empress originally envisioned a marriage alliance between the two countries, with the prince of Ji coming to Yuezhi. But now, it is her own son who is going to Ji... Although it is different from her original plan, it is indeed a way for the two countries to form a marriage alliance, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Seeing that the Empress had not spoken for a long time, Fusang stepped forward and said, "Mother, my brother and Anyang have come to know each other very well from the journey from Ji Kingdom to Yuezhi Kingdom. Their marriage will surely become a beautiful story of love between the two countries."

Hearing Fusang's words and seeing the expectant look in the eyes of the crowd below, the Empress had no choice but to agree, saying, "This is a joyous occasion, how could I possibly object? I grant it!"

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!" The Sixth Princess and Zhi Jun expressed their gratitude repeatedly, and everyone raised their glasses in celebration.

After that, the Empress returned to her high position. She glanced at Wu Yue subconsciously, and only when Wu Yue nodded slightly did the Empress feel relieved.

The birthday banquet continued, and Fusang stepped forward to sing a song for the Empress. Zhijun also returned to his brothers and went off to drink and revel.

With no outsiders around, Ji Qiran looked at the Sixth Princess with a grateful gaze and said in a low voice, "Thank you for your help, Sixth Sister."

"What? Did you think from the beginning that I would sell you out?" The Sixth Princess glanced at him, both amused and annoyed, and said, "The marriage alliance between the two countries that I was referring to has never been about you."

Hearing this, Ji Qiran suddenly realized. "...Sixth Sister has put a lot of thought into this."

The Sixth Princess has consistently expressed strong support for the marriage alliance between the two countries, but has never explicitly stated who will be responsible for it. However, all indications suggest that the two people to be married will be Fusang and Ji Qiran.

Therefore, Ji Qiran had prepared for the worst; he would fight to the bitter end at all costs. But only just now did he realize that she had intended to bear the burden herself from the very beginning.

As Ji Qiran thought about it, she couldn't help but say again, "I'm sorry, Sixth Sister, for making you make a sacrifice for me."

The sixth princess glanced at him with a slight smile and said, "Letting the people of Yuezhi come to Ji Kingdom was the best arrangement. You don't need to feel guilty."

The sudden turn of events left Chu Qingluo deeply shocked. She couldn't understand the Sixth Princess's reasons for making this decision. How much was it for Ji Qiran's sake? How much was it for her admiration for Zhi Jun? No matter how she guessed, she had no answer.

But judging from the Sixth Princess's unusually calm and confident demeanor, perhaps she had already planned it all along...

……

After the birthday banquet, Princess Narcissus returned to her palace drunk and was unable to sleep!

The alcohol made her stomach churn, but all sorts of grievances and resentment tormented her nerves, almost driving her to the brink of collapse!

Finally, she sat up abruptly and called out towards the door, "Someone come here!"

"What's wrong, Princess?" Princess Narcissus's personal attendant came in upon hearing the commotion, ready to serve.

"Go quickly and bring over that Ji Kingdom man who sent me the message last time." A crazy idea had already formed in her mind, and she couldn't stop herself from doing so.

"...Now?" The attendant looked bewildered.

"Yes! Now! Immediately! Right now!" Narcissus's eyes were bloodshot and her forehead was covered in sweat.

"Yes." The attendant had no choice but to quickly do as instructed.

After several twists and turns, the attendant finally brought the person in the middle of the night.

This man from Ji Kingdom had been knocked unconscious and abandoned in a secluded thicket by Shui Xian's people last time, and now he had been forcibly brought back here in the dead of night. He was understandably a little flustered. "...This humble servant greets Princess Shui Xian."

“Don’t be afraid,” Narcissus said coldly. “I can agree to help your master, but I have one condition.”

The man from Ji Kingdom was stunned. He had already lost the courage to return to Ji Kingdom after failing to accomplish this task, and was even plotting how to sneak away on his way back… Unexpectedly, things took a sudden turn for the better. He quickly said, “Princess, please make any requests you may have. My master will certainly satisfy you.”

"Alright—! Then I'll tell you..."
