Chapter 317 Female Officials in Yongle Palace

Three days later, Yongle Palace.

"Mother, perhaps this departure may be a farewell forever." He Zhaojun was dressed in a heavy official uniform, looking solemn and dignified. Since she was an appointed envoy and a princess with real power, she had to have everything she needed.

The imperial carriage and ceremonial guards were already waiting outside the palace. Originally, she had already left the imperial city by this time. However, He Zhaojun couldn't let go of Concubine Yue and insisted on visiting Yongle Palace before leaving.

Sitting beside Concubine Yue, she tried hard to force a smile, unwilling to reveal any sadness. He Zhaojun knew that every tear she shed would become a nail in Concubine Yue's heart.

But as she laughed, she couldn't help but burst into tears. In this dynasty full of killing and oppression, Concubine Yue was a rare bit of warmth, but after parting today, the two would never meet again.

She didn't know why, but she always felt that Concubine Yue wasn't as sad as she had imagined. Concubine Yue sighed, "I'm really worried about you traveling so far away, so I specially selected four dowry women to go with you. The journey is long, so please take care of yourself."

He Zhaojun unconsciously played with the exquisite teacup in her hand, feeling the waves of warmth coming from it, and caught a glimpse of the four female officials who came in with the dowry.

The next moment, the hot tea in her mouth almost spit out. She choked and coughed repeatedly, her face flushed - why did this female official in charge look so familiar?

Concubine Yue looked at her with a half-smile: "I still remember when we first met, you asked if there was a tall and beautiful female official in the palace. Look, is this the one you are looking for?"

He Zhaojun turned her head in disbelief and looked at the person standing in the hall. The moment she met Wen Ziduan's eyes, she saw him raise the corners of his lips, revealing a rather playful smile, and also cast a coquettish glance at her.

hiss……

"Mother, how can this be possible? Not to mention that Ziduan sneaked into the convoy in women's clothing, his life would be in danger if he were discovered. If he is not in the capital, the people in the court will inevitably have dissenting thoughts. We must be on guard!"

Wen Ziduan turned around slowly, as if admiring his own figure. He was tall, and there was no sense of incongruity in dressing up as a girl. His beautiful face alone was enough to make him look like a real woman.

"Princess Ancheng, from today on, I will be your personal female official and will accompany you to the northwest." When Wen Ziduan was in Ba County, she had already taken the pills given by Long Feibai to change her voice. Now, after three days of acupuncture, her tone of voice has changed, her manners have become familiar, and even her tone of voice has become gentler.

He Zhaojun couldn't help but cover her face, not wanting to look at this blatantly narcissistic peacock, who managed to wear the solemn female official costume to look a bit seductive. It can only be said that once a man becomes coquettish, what room does a woman have?

Someone outside the door couldn't help laughing. Wen Zikun and Lao Wu both peeked inside. It was the first time they saw their brothers dressed like this.

Concubine Yue and He Zhaojun exchanged a look, feeling helpless. "Ziduan followed the emperor's orders and followed the convoy to join Zisheng. Together, they will defeat the enemy and defend the country. This is the most important task."

He Zhaojun wanted to say something, but she heard three cannon shots in the distance. The army was about to set off, which was a signal urging He Zhaojun to set off quickly.

Outside the main hall, the palace attendants and maids, led by Lady Cai, stood in line, silently bidding them farewell. In the distance, the sound of horse hooves echoed. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, seeing Shaoshang and Gu Guan reaching out to He Zhaojun and Wen Ziduan. "Sister Zhaojun! Mount your horses, let's go!"

The four of them smiled at each other. With their best friends by their side, they were no longer afraid even on the road to the underworld.
