Domineering Female State Advisor

"Of course it's swimming. We've been in Dongfang City for so long and we haven't had any fun. Right now, there are students rushing to the capital to take the exam. My sister says swimming the lake will allow you to increase your knowledge."    

Dongfang Ning wanted to laugh. Playing outside in ancient times meant singing poems, painting, and seeing the scenery of mountains and rivers. Now that it was winter, what was there to swim about?    

Ye Yun was wearing a blue cotton jacket and a red cloak today. She was waiting patiently beside a horse carriage outside the Fang family residence.    

This girl didn't look too bad. This was Dongfang Ning's first impression of her. At least she didn't look like the arrogant, domineering, and arrogant rich girl who looked down on everyone else.    

"Greetings, esteemed empress," Ye Yun greeted her softly as soon as she saw her come out.    

"No need to be so polite, you're Ye Mo's little sister, so beautiful!"    

"Esteemed wangfei, you're too kind. How could I get a ten thousandth of the empress's value? Esteemed wangfei, please get on the carriage!"    

"Alright, you can ask me to get on the carriage, but there's one condition: don't call me Esteemed Empress after everyone else. This title is strange, you can call me anything else, just as you wish."    

"Ning'er is really straightforward. She doesn't lose to men at all. Since that's the case, Ye Yun is being rude. Please ~"    

"Let's go, but be careful when you're with me. Trouble always comes knocking."    

"Don't worry. With big brother around, Ning'er won't be scared!"    

The two girls got into the car. Ye Yun sat on the shaft and didn't sit in the carriage with them. This time, he knew how to avoid suspicion?    

Dongfang Ning was too lazy to guess their purpose for coming here. She could just assume that they had come to play with her. Anyway, staying at home all day was boring.    

"Ning'er, you're really blessed. The emperor doted on you so much that the imperial harem sent someone to persuade us to leave earlier. He said that he wouldn't marry anyone who didn't. He would only marry one person in his entire life, and that would be you …"    

It was hard to tell if she was sincere or just faking it, but Ye Yun's faint words made it hard to tell what she meant.    

"I don't care how many he marries, but I can't tolerate him having other women!"    

"Shh ~"    

Her words frightened Ye Yun. "How can you speak like that? You're the empress of today. If anyone else heard it, who knows how much of an article they'd be up to?"    

"It's okay, I'm a person who can't hide his feelings. Just say whatever you want to say. In any case, I won't force him, so he can do whatever he wants."    

"Ning'er, you will be competing with Xiang Yinrong tomorrow. The zither that I lent you is also considered a famous zither. The last time, Xiang Yinrong took out a zither, it was a demonic zither. You can't use it recklessly …"    

"So you were worried that I would use that guqin to compete? Don't worry, I won't use the zither, and I won't lose to her! "    

"Oh, if it weren't for the painting from the day before yesterday, word of your words would have spread throughout the palace. If I were to see it with my own eyes, I would have no regrets in my life!"    

Ye Yun's eyes widened as she stared at the fairy-like woman before her. She was truly beautiful, even more beautiful than Xiang Yinrong …    

Even though she was also a woman, she couldn't help but sigh in admiration in her heart.    

"It's just a small trick, I can draw a few different paintings at the same time." Dongfang Ning was also infected with the vanity of being praised, and proudly expressed her ability.    

That was true. Even in the modern era, who could be like her and use such a high-tech thing? She couldn't find any flaws at all, and she was going all out for this competition.    

"You're really modest, painting in the air. This is the first time in my life I've heard of you, Ning'er. Are you really a fairy?"    

"I'm just a mortal, your brother knows that. If it wasn't for him saving me, I might have died in the hands of a villain. Why do you think he would have rushed over that day?    

"That's your fate! With the blessing of the heavens, my brother likes to hang out and play all day, so he rarely stays home obediently. He's still not married yet!"    

"That's great. Next time, we'll hold a blind date. Let's find a beautiful wife for him!"    

"He doesn't dare to disobey the Empress's decree, right? Hahaha ~ Ning'er is happily chatting with you."    

"You also want to marry into the palace as a concubine?"    

"Wife?"    

"It's the emperor's woman!"    

"The Emperor is the Emperor of the world. I'm afraid there's no one in the world who doesn't want to marry the Emperor. Ning'er, you … can't be unhappy, right?"    

This was a straightforward person. She admitted openly that she wanted to marry Yan Wuzhan. Dongfang Ning was even more straightforward:    

"Of course I'm not happy. Who would be willing to share their man with others? I'd advise you not to have any ideas about Yan Wuzhan, it's useless."    

"Ning'er, there are some things that you can't help yourself with. I'm different from you. As a member of the clan, I can only listen to my father and mother's commands. I'm resigned to my fate, jealous of your freedom, jealous of the Emperor's devotion to you …"    

Dongfang Ning ignored her. Anyone who wanted to steal Yan Wuzhan's woman should not think that she would have a good face. Being able to get along with him was already pretty good. The carriage fell silent.    

Until they arrived at their destination, Ye Yun finally opened her mouth and said:    

"Ning'er, you were happy when you came out to play. The reason why you wanted to go to the lake today is because someone is hosting a poetry competition. They are all geniuses from all over the world. I heard that it's very lively. Let's get off the car."    

Dongfang Ning followed him out of the car. She didn't bring a single girl, nor did Ye Yun. The only coachman on duty was Dongfang Ning. The three of them headed towards Moon Lake.    

It was said that a hundred years ago, this was the only body of water within the Dongfang City. Later on, the Emperor built a bridge over the Moon Lake, and after the workers had taken a long walk around the lake, they discovered that its shape was similar to that of the Crescent Moon Lake.    

Right now, the lakeside was filled with bare willow trees, shops were built in the forest, teahouses and teahouses were everywhere, the lakeside was surrounded by students, and the dozens of pleasure boats by the lakeside were also packed as well — it was truly a lively scene.    

"There's so many people ~"    

"That's right. Ning'er has never seen so many people. The main reason is that there have been too many changes in the past three years. Otherwise, these students wouldn't have arrived at the capital so quickly."    

Do you know that using "cement" from Heaven's End City can turn sand and rocks into as hard as rocks? Every single city is going to go to the Heaven's End City to buy them.    

Look at how flat these roads are, and how wide these roads are made from the "cement" of Heaven's End City. Our Ye City is also prepared to use this to build city walls … "    

The Heaven's End City was hers, the concrete bars were all hers, and it was even said that she had secretly collected a lot of saltpeter, which would make it easier for her to make explosives in the future …    

Dongfang Ning quietly listened to the views of outsiders on Heaven's End City and was extremely happy in her heart.    

"Ning'er, they're all talking about you."
