Chapter 63 Princess Mansion But Yue Er and her husband are both men, so how...
Chapter 63
Yicai Library is right in front of you.
The carriage stopped steadily, Lin Zhiyi jumped off the carriage lightly, and Gu Tingxuan accompanied her in.
Jiang Yicai has been very nervous these past two days, fearing that the last assassination incident would bring unnecessary trouble to the library.
Business people are most afraid of being involved in major events.
When gods fight, the devils suffer.
He is just a businessman. The conspiracies, plots, fights and assassinations of the powerful have nothing to do with him.
He could only be thankful that Lord Ye had arranged more soldiers to patrol Wanmin Street, otherwise, he would have been even more frightened.
The arrival of the young master and the female general from the Duke's Mansion did not make Jiang Yicai very happy, but he still greeted them with a smile: "Master Gu, young master, I wonder what brings you to our shop?"
Lin Zhiyi took out the manuscript and handed it to Jiang Yicai. She had wrapped it in a handkerchief to avoid revealing that her third sister was writing a storybook. She had promised, so even from her master, she had to keep it a secret.
"Someone asked me to send this over, Boss Jiang, please keep it."
Jiang Yicai took it carefully. After touching it, he knew it was a manuscript. He guessed it might be the manuscript of the story of the guest in the book. A smile appeared on his face: "Thank you, young master."
Regardless, once I have the complete manuscript, I can move on to the next step. This brings me one step closer to making money.
Lin Zhiyi finished delivering the manuscript, and she considered her mission complete. She turned her head and smiled at Gu Tingxuan, "Master, let's go."
Gu Tingxuan didn't ask any more questions and followed her away.
Jiang Yicai escorted the two to the door. After the carriage left, he quickly returned to the private room in the library and opened the manuscript to check it.
——It really is the manuscript of the guest in the book! And the manuscript is complete and correct!
Fortunately, I can have some hope for the future.
Jiang Yicai bowed to the God of Wealth and prayed that the Dali Temple Shaoqing would quickly catch the bad guys, so that more people would go out on Wanmin Street and the bookstore business would improve...
…
Moon-Lanyue Palace.
After Jingyue washed herself, she went to the wardrobe to choose clothes.
Seeing the brightly colored clothes in red, yellow, green, pink, etc., his expression changed involuntarily.
Lin Zhiyi changed into a white cotton dress before going to bed last night. It was very comfortable, so he forgot for a moment that he would have to go back to wearing fancy clothes.
Having a woman's body and wearing women's clothes to play a woman are both quite challenging.
Comparing the two, he would rather be 'Lin Zhiyi'.
After spending a quarter of an hour to change her mindset, Jing Yue finally slowly picked out a goose yellow gauze dress, which was cool and comfortable.
In any case, this color is easier for him to accept than pink and red.
After changing clothes, Jingyue sat in front of the mirror and prepared to put on makeup.
During his time at the Lin Mansion, his ability to be self-reliant became even stronger.
In the past, he might occasionally ask Yao'er to comb his hair and put on makeup for him, but now, he can do the whole thing by himself.
Jing Yue hadn't put on "princess" makeup for a long time, and his eyeliner was crooked once. Fortunately, he did it well the second time. He imitated the makeup that Lin Zhiyi had put on this face in his memory and put some eye shadow on his eyelids. His cold phoenix eyes immediately had a softer charm.
It's really magical.
There are still twelve days until the wedding day.
Almost there.
Today, people from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Works came to the palace together to report that everything is ready for Princess Liyang's residence. If the princess is interested, she can go out of the palace to inspect the residence. If there is anything she is not satisfied with, they can make final adjustments.
So, after Jingyue had breakfast, he was summoned by his mother to Lanfang Hall in Chengqian Palace.
Returning to the "cage" of the imperial palace again, Jing Yue felt very complicated.
Having experienced the relatively free and open world, he looked at this place again with an additional perspective of escaping from the "prison".
Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles can indeed make people feel more relaxed and open-minded than staying quietly in a small square courtyard.
There is less resentment.
"Mother." After not seeing her for more than ten days, Jing Yue became closer and more patient with her mother.
Lan Fei was still immersed in joy and could not notice Jing Yue's changes just by hearing two words. She smiled and waved, and the nail polish on her fingers was very beautiful and unique.
He remembered that his mother used to prefer pink, but now the nail polish on all ten of her fingernails had different color combinations, and even a few shapes could be seen - for example, a smiley face, a cat face, a brightly colored painting, a few tiny pearls glued on somehow, and some even had gradient colors superimposed...
It's dazzling at first glance, but... upon closer inspection, it's quite beautiful.
Not only my mother, but others will also feel enlightened and happy when seeing it.
Could this be Lin Zhiyi's masterpiece? !
Her creative ideas are always unexpected.
As expected, Concubine Lan turned the back of her hand, admired it for a moment, and said with a smile, "Your father also praised my beautiful fingernails when he saw them. Yue'er, you have made an invaluable contribution."
Jing Yue: "...as long as mother likes it."
He changed the subject and said, "Mother, you summoned me here. What do you want me to do?"
Concubine Lan smiled and said, "The weather is nice today. It just rained, so it's cool and comfortable. Mother will accompany you out of the palace to visit your princess's residence."
Can I leave the palace?!
Even the mother can?!
"Can we ask the prince consort to go with us?" Jing Yue asked subconsciously.
Concubine Lan was a little surprised. She looked at Jingyue seriously for a few seconds and said, "You seem to be very satisfied with your husband?"
Jing Yue coughed lightly: "After all, she is getting married soon. She will also live in the princess's mansion in the future."
Lan Fei: "It doesn't matter whether he likes it or not. I don't think he would dare to complain. As long as Yue'er likes it, that's all."
Jing Yue: “…Yes.”
Concubine Lan tried to hold back, but couldn't help asking, "Yuer, could it be that you...are you really planning to take in a prince consort?"
It is not impossible for men to have sex with each other, as long as it is kept confidential.
The prince consort probably wouldn't dare to make it public.
"Mother... She and I..." Jing Yue wanted to say that he and Lin Zhiyi were a perfect match, but when the words came to his lips, he changed his tone, "We can also be close friends."
I can’t confess to my mother that Lin Zhiyi is a woman yet.
What if...what if the mother thinks that Lin Zhiyi’s action may lead to being punished and doesn’t agree to their marriage?
Although the probability is very small, after all, he and his mother are doing the same thing.
But what if?
The risk of a man disguised as a woman was something Mother was willing to share with him; but with the added risk of a woman from the Lin family disguised as a man, given Mother's risk-averse nature, she would likely reevaluate, or even cancel the engagement...
It’s better to confess after getting married.
By then, I will tell my mother that the matter has been settled, and I am afraid she will not be able to regret it.
"Confidant?" Lan Fei was stunned for a moment, then stared at Jing Yue for a while before she smiled again. "Well, being a confidant is not bad. If he were studying at the Imperial College today, would it affect his studies if you called him?"
Jing Yue thought about it and decided to give up for the time being.
Anyway, they are getting married soon. After the wedding, it won’t be too late for him to take Lin Zhiyi to visit the princess’s mansion. He will accompany her for as long as she wants!
When the empress and the princess left the palace, the ceremony was neither big nor small.
Emperor Longshun dispatched the Jinwu Guards to escort the mother and daughter. If it weren't for the busy state affairs, he would actually like to accompany them to relax.
Unfortunately, in recent days he had to worry about the prince's affairs, be angry about the queen's affairs, and had to take the energy to analyze and deal with the affairs of the second, third, fourth and fifth sons, so he had to give up the idea of relaxing.
Fortunately, the youngest daughter is getting married soon, so there is finally a happy event.
Jing Yue and her mother arrived at the princess's mansion in a luxurious royal carriage, escorted by Yan Chongshan, the General of the Jinwu Guard. The carriage drove all the way into the courtyard of the mansion and stopped.
Jing Yue jumped off the carriage first, then helped his mother out.
The two men had similar faces, one was gorgeous and elegant, the other handsome and dazzling. The servants waiting in the princess's mansion suddenly felt that the surrounding scenery and air became bright and sunny.
People from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Works each sent a person in charge to wait outside the princess's mansion. They only came to pay their respects after Concubine Lan and Princess Liyang got off the carriage and rested for a while.
Afterwards, they will introduce the scenery of the palace to the empress and the princess, as well as the procedures for the wedding.
When Jing Yue saw the two people from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Rites, she immediately thought of Xie Junxing and Ji Wuyou.
Xie Junxing's uncle is the Minister of Works, and Xie Junxing is also interested in the construction of the Ministry of Works. Maybe he will follow his uncle's path in the future.
As for the Ministry of Rites... He had been classmates with Ji Wuyou, the son of the Minister of Rites, for more than ten days, and they had even sat at the same table. From his understanding of Ji Wuyou, Ji Wuyou was humble and low-key, had a strong memory, and knew everything about the families in the capital and their relatives. In Zhou Mingyan's words, he looked introverted and humble, but was actually quite gossipy.
Perhaps, Ji Wuyou will also work towards taking a position in the Ministry of Rites?
Jing Yue used to only want to be a princess, a flawless, well-behaved and obedient princess. As the youngest child of her father, she had enough salary and property, and had not made any plans for future positions or the realization of her hobbies, because it was unrealistic.
But after meeting Lin Zhiyi and swapping bodies with him, he gradually came back to life. He understood how people outside the royal family survived and studied; he understood the effort required to support a family; everyone has pursuits and hobbies, dreams and aspirations... and they work hard and strive for them.
Only then will my life be worthwhile.
Xie Junxing and Ji Wuyou both have their own hobbies, and the four sisters of the Lin family also have their own talents. Zhou Mingyan will probably take the path of a military general. Even if the war is over and there are no battles to fight, he still has many other choices - Jinwu Guard, Patrol Camp, Dali Temple, Forbidden Army, etc.
Where is Lin Zhiyi?
My father promoted Marquis Ding'an to Duke Ding'an, and Lin Zhiyi became the young master. Plus, she was his consort, so what would she do in the future? What did she want to do?
Can she get what she wants?
And myself...
What can I do? What do I want to do?
Although Jing Yue has always envied others and his royal brothers, if you ask him what he wants to do, he actually has no specific goals or plans, and his thoughts are confused and lost.
"Princess, be careful with your step." Yan Chongshan's voice rang out, and another person grabbed his arm.
It turned out that he had unknowingly walked to a set of stairs. He was distracted and didn't pay attention, and almost stepped on empty air.
The person who reached out to pull him was the new guard in the princess's mansion. He looked handsome and serious, but he acted decisively.
If it were someone else, they would probably be concerned about his identity as a "princess" and would not dare to touch him.
The other party was very well-behaved. After seeing him come back to his senses, he knelt quietly with his head lowered, waiting for his possible "punishment".
Jing Yue looked at him and asked, "What's your name? Where did you work before?"
"Princess, my name is Tang Cong. I used to work at the guard post."
Working in a garrison?
Wouldn’t that be a bright future?
Now that he's been transferred to the princess's palace to be a guard, isn't that a waste of his talent?
"Tang Cong, you reacted quickly just now, that's good. Get up." Jing Yue was complaining in her heart, but she would not say it out loud.
These people were all given to him by his father. Whether they like it or not, they are probably powerless to disobey the order and make changes.
Neither can he.
But as long as they follow him faithfully, he will be responsible for their future life and future.
"Yu'er, what happened?" Concubine Lan had just been resting and drinking tea in a pavilion, and now she was walking slowly towards us with the support of a palace maid.
"It's okay. I asked about the guards' origins." Jing Yue smiled back and then stepped forward to help Concubine Lan.
Concubine Lan put her hand on his arm.
The two of them walked down the stairs together and came into the spacious courtyard.
Several pomegranate trees have been transplanted here. The bright red flowers are blooming, while some of the pomegranate flowers have faded and produced small pomegranate fruits.
Concubine Lan herself didn't care much about this - she felt that although pomegranates had good meanings, Yue'er and her husband were both boys, so how could they have many children and be blessed with good fortune?
Unless another woman is secretly selected to serve.
But Yue'er would definitely not do that.
Just treat it as a scenery.
It’s very prosperous and looks very nice.
