Chapter 334 Preparing for the Dowry
The news soon spread to Ciqing Hall.

After Ning Yuanhou's incident, the Queen Mother had been hiding in Ciqing Palace, not daring to show up or meet anyone in private, for fear that the emperor would come to trouble her because of Ning Yuanhou's incident.

When she thought of this and the fate of Marquis Ning Yuan being cut into pieces by five horses, the Queen Mother became so panicked that her fingertips trembled.

After hearing the news, the Queen Mother slowly opened her eyes with her eyes closed tightly.

The maid beside her asked in a low voice, "Queen Mother, do we want to take action?"

The people close to the Queen Mother are not simple people. In this palace, they are all ruthless masters with high ambitions and low intentions.

The Queen Mother heard the voice in her ear and glanced at her lightly.

The look in her eyes frightened the maid so much that her breath froze and she quickly lowered her head, "It's me who talks too much."

The Queen Mother looked away faintly, her eyes showing no emotion, she just said calmly, "Is her sweetheart the humble guard in the palace?"

The maid lowered her eyes and said, "I have found out clearly that it is indeed the guard next to her. I don't know what the ninth princess thinks that she really wants to marry a guard."

When the Queen Mother heard this, her lips curled up with a faint arc, wrapped in sarcasm, "I heard that there are many aristocratic families in Yanyun City who want to marry the Ninth Princess?"

When the maid heard this, her slightly drooped eyes instantly raised. She pondered for a moment, "I know what to do."

The queen mother narrowed her eyes.

Press the fingers holding the beads a little harder until the fingertips turn white.

What valuable things can a bodyguard get from being hired?
Tomorrow, when those aristocratic families send priceless betrothal gifts, the guard's betrothal gift will become the most worthless thing. By then, Jinyun will know that she will be the laughing stock of the entire Yanyun City.

We will have to see when the time comes, whether Jin Yunzhi will choose her sweetheart or her face...

Thinking of this, the corners of the Queen Mother's lips curved slightly.

The mood that had been depressed for a long time finally felt relieved and became smoother.

……

The next day.

The morning light is dim.

Jin Yunzhi woke up early, and she couldn't help but feel excited.Xie Jiuyu will be hired today. From now on, everyone in Yanyun City will know that Xie Jiuyu is hers!

Jin Yunzhi couldn't hold back his joy when he thought of this.

After she woke up, Qingbi helped her wash and dress up.

"Princess, Xie Jiuyi left the palace a long time ago. He took the emperor's token and can enter and leave the palace freely. He must have gone to prepare the betrothal gift."

Qingbi was also happy for Jin Yunzhi and sounded delighted.

Jin Yunzhi thought that she and Xie Jiuyu had agreed to simply prepare some betrothal gifts. Now that he had not returned to Fengchu, he could not prepare too much and it was just a formality.

Jin Yunzhi stood happily in front of the Liuli Palace, waiting for the news of Xie Jiuyu's return.

However, before Xie Jiuyu waited, he learned from Ah Fu that many ministers entered the palace today and even brought their families with them.

They were not allowed to enter the harem without permission and could only go to the Emperor's Qianxin Hall for the time being.

"What are they doing in the palace today?" Jin Yunzhi found it strange, but did not think about it carefully, so he asked Ah Fu to continue to inquire about the news. At the same time, he kept an eye on when Xie Jiuyu entered the palace and came back to report as soon as possible.

After Ah Fu left, Jin Yunzhi and Qingbi continued to wait in front of Liuli Palace.

In less than a stick of incense, Ah Fu hurried back to Liuli Palace.

Before he could reach Jin Yunzhi and Qingbi, Ah Fu's figure was blocked by the emperor and queen.

Ah Fu had no choice but to kneel down to greet him.

After Jin Yunzhi noticed the movement here, he looked up and saw a little anxiety on the queen's face, and the emperor's face was obviously gloomy.

Jin Yunzhi felt more and more strange. Within a moment, she understood why her father, the emperor, and the empress had reacted this way.

Behind them, there were nearly seven or eight ministers.

These ministers were all important officials in the court. Their faces were beaming with joy. The eunuchs behind them were carrying endless betrothal gifts. Those people almost completely blocked the long palace road.
