"Do you know?"

Will she sell him out in exchange for a little favor from Ning Huaixuan?

I don't know when I finished talking. Ji Mengshu looked up at the empty shadows in the courtyard, at the bright moon that was sometimes cold and sometimes gloomy, drank a few cups alone and fell asleep.

Tomorrow will be a tough battle, so we must stay alert and not take it lightly.

In the middle of the night, Ji Mengshu did not show any temper when she was woken up from her deep sleep. She was the legitimate daughter of the Ji family and was marrying His Majesty today. Even if she was extremely reluctant, she had to endure it at this moment. Besides, she had been manipulated like this in her previous life, and her heart had long been numb.

The bridesmaid was dressed in festive attire, and walked in with a smile on her face. God knows, if she could become a bridesmaid for the royal family, would she ever have to worry about having no business in the capital city in the future?

She walked in with a smile on her face, and saw a fairy-like girl applying makeup and washing herself in the bedroom. Her eyes and figure were so pretty that she had never seen such a beautiful bride in all her years in this industry.

Seeing someone coming, Ji Mengshu smiled faintly, with a faint smile of a married woman on her face, "Did you have a good rest yesterday, bride?"

"Oh, Miss Ji, knowing that today is the wedding of the royal family and the Ji family, I, the matchmaker, have gone to bed early. Don't worry, it will be a lively day today!" The matchmaker, who was over 40 years old, was waiting outside with a red silk handkerchief in her hand.

When Hongye and Qingzhu finally dressed the bride and put on the phoenix coronet and bridal robe, Qingzhu's eyes sparkled, "There is no bride prettier than you in the world, but it's a pity... You are not going to get married dressed like this..."

Hongye's heart suddenly tightened, and she knocked on Qingzhu's head without saying anything, whispering, "What nonsense are you talking about?! There are people everywhere here, aren't you afraid that the news will leak out and make the young lady's plan fail!"

Qingzhu's eyes were red, and she quickly looked around. Fortunately, there was no one in their dormitory. The old lady in the outer room was dozing with her head propped up, so she probably didn't hear it. "Sister Hongye, I was wrong, I won't talk nonsense again..."

Ji Mengshu came to the rescue, "Today is different from the past. You, Hongye Qingzhu, need to be on your guard... After today, everything will be settled."

"I understand..." Hongye took out a small brocade box and handed it over. Inside was a small pill. Qingzhu quickly handed over a glass of water. Ji Mengshu tilted her head back to take the pill, and looked at the stunningly beautiful woman in the bronze mirror. She smiled, which was a rare occurrence.

When it was just dawn, Ji Yuan had arrived at Fulan Pavilion without knowing when. He bent one leg and leaned against the wall. When Qingzhu opened the window, he saw a figure by the window and was startled.

Ji Mengshu arranged for someone to take the bridesmaid to stroll around the courtyard, while she chatted with her brother. The bridesmaid knew that the bride would inevitably be reluctant to leave her family before getting married, and it was normal for girls to be shy and not like outsiders to be present. The bridesmaid did not suspect anything and followed the little maid in the courtyard.

"Ah Shu... I'm sorry for you..."

"Brother, don't say that," Ji Mengshu picked up the lip balm on the table and carefully painted her lips, "Brother, can you do me a favor?"

Ji Yuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's the matter?"

Ji Mengshu whispered something in Ji Yuan's ear, and when she left, she saw Ji Yuan's surprised eyes, "Are you really going to do this?"

"Brother, don't you want to?"

"No," Ji Yuanzheng seemed to have never expected that the girl who had been obedient since childhood would have such a rebellious day, so he said, "Brother said that as long as Shu likes it, brother can do anything."

The auspicious time has arrived.

Ji Mengshu put on a red veil, followed by Hongye and Qingzhu, and walked out of the hanging flower gate under the guidance of the matchmaker. Ji's mother Jiang was sitting in the main hall with a festive look on her face, and she was just forcing a smile in front of the guests.

At the same time, Ji Ningqiu also prepared a scene with joy and excitement. She walked out slowly with the help of her maid Linglong. After passing through the Chuihua Gate, a free and unrestrained life was waiting for her.

After the ceremony, the two newlyweds walked toward the hall together. Ji Ningqiu said through the wedding veil, "Congratulations, Fifth Sister, you will soon become the Queen..."

Ji Mengshu stood upright, eyes full of red, "Congratulations to my second sister, you finally found a good match."

The royal bridegroom had not yet arrived, so the two young ladies of the Ji family sat in the side room waiting. Ji Ningqiu saw Qingzhu and Hongye through the wedding veil and said with a smile, "Fifth sister, I have some private words from the bottom of my heart that I want to talk to you alone. Sister, are you willing?"

Ji Mengshu smiled knowingly, thinking, I was afraid you wouldn't tell me. She turned around and said to Qingzhu Hongye, "Forget it, we sisters are just talking, you guys go wait outside."

Ji Ningqiu didn't expect that this person would be so easy to talk to, so she immediately sent a few people out. Ji Ningqiu lifted the veil and talked to Ji Mengshu for a while.

Her head was becoming heavier and heavier, and the phoenix coronet seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, making it impossible for her to lift her head. Ji Ningqiu took the sachet from her bosom and brought it close to her nose, seeing her sleepy eyes, until Ji Mengshu suddenly fell onto the table.

Everything went as planned. Ji Ningqiu quietly called Linglong over, and the two of them worked together to take off her coat and exchanged it with her. He then quietly fed Ji Mengshu a pill, and after a while, Ji Mengshu woke up in a daze.

Then someone came outside, and the eunuch hurriedly stopped the sedan chair outside. They didn't know what happened today, but they encountered a robber on the road. The man's silver and money fell all over the ground, and the people who were looting blocked the road. They hurried to maintain order, and it took them a long time to come over.

"Oh, Master Ji, I hope I didn't delay the auspicious time, did I?"

Ji Kang had a smile on his face, but the smile only stayed on his surface. After saying a few words, he looked up and saw Master Xu who was waiting outside to pick up the bride.

Mr. Xu was not a high-ranking official in the court. He knew that the fifth daughter of the Ji family was also getting married today, and that the royal family's relatives had not arrived yet. He could not take the second daughter away before the royal family... so he waited outside the door for some time.

The eunuch quickly said some festive words. In the Ji Mansion, two newlyweds came out at the same time. Qingzhu and Hongye followed "Ji Mengshu", and Linglong and another maid followed "Ji Ningqiu".

Ji Yuan was standing outside, a thin layer of sweat on his palms, watching two people in phoenix crowns and bridal robes walking towards him together. With such attire, outsiders could not tell who they were.

Under the gaze of the matchmaker, the two newlyweds walked out of the Ji Mansion calmly. The emperor would not come to greet the bride in person, and only the eunuchs beside the emperor were sent over. The son of the Xu family rode a tall horse to greet them in person.

According to custom, the elder brother should personally carry the newlywed bride to the wedding sedan chair. Ji Yuanzheng had also seen strong storms in the border counties.
