t.i.tle: The Dreamer in the Spring Boudoir

Chapter 410 - The most loyal official (1)

Ji Man felt a bit absent-minded, but soon after she laughed. She knew that Ning Yuxuan would have never said something like that. Still, it was pleasant to hear these words.

She truly felt apologetic towards Nie Sangyu's face. It had been so long since this face had been exposed to sunlight, and it was pale enough to pa.s.s as a ghost's face. Fortunately, she had been diligent in taking care of her skin, so she didn't have any acne. After changing into a woman's airy attire, she couldn't wait to go out and take a frolicking stroll around the block a few times.

After saying good-bye to Guibai and thinking it over, Ji Man decided to go back instead. It would be safer in the prince's estate. However, she forgot that most people wouldn't be able to accept her sudden gender change. And so, on the way back to her room, the other advisors looked at her with surprised expressions. The reason was simple. Almost everyone here was man, except for Shen Youqing, the prince's wife, and a few servant girls.

After Zhao Zhe had become a t.i.tled prince, Shen Youqing had dismissed the rest of her husband's harem before they went to Zhangjun. She had said it was because having too many women would be a distraction and hards.h.i.+p to the prince. Since the dowager empress hadn't voiced any objections, Zhangjun Prince silently accepted the disbanding of his harem.

And now, a woman had suddenly appeared in his estate today.

Seeing Wu Yong, Ji Man finally stopped walking. She brightly smiled at him and curtsied. ”Brother Wu.”

Wu Yong was dumbfounded. Ji Man was the only person in this estate that dared to address him as Brother Wu, so who was this woman in front of him?

”This one is Ji Man. This one is really sorry for keeping this secret from you for so long,” Ji Man said in embarra.s.sment.

In the end, Wu Yong was a person that had seen many things. Although he was very shocked, he still quickly returned to his senses. ”So you're... Miss Ji. His Highness is looking for you.”

Ji Man followed him to meet with Zhangjun Prince. After looking at her in silence for a period of time, Zhao Zhe told her to go the main military camp on the other side of Xi River. Since she had returned to her original gender, there would naturally be uses.

In every war, regardless if it would be effective or not, there would be an attempt at negotiating peace. There would be a few visits from one side to the other to express that they didn't want to continue to fight and were keen for a peaceful resolution.

Ji Man knew this was her opportunity to make a showy appearance. And so, she spent some effort in dressing herself up. She wore a bright red dress embroidered with peonies and had her hair done up in chaotian hairstyle with a pair of dangling bluish-green hair accessories. It wasn't surprising that she would attract everyone's gaze when she stepped into the military camp.

(T/N: Below is a picture of chaotian hairstyle.)

The soldiers un.o.btrusively murmured amongst themselves. Had Zhangjun Prince sent this woman over to curry favor with their general? However, everyone clearly saw that as soon as Ning Mingjie saw this woman, he accidentally knocked over the wine and seemed dazed.

Ning Yuxuan wasn't here to see it, but Ning Mingjie's performance was very successful. Not only did Ning Mingjie keep looking at Ji Man, he also seemed very reluctant to part from her as he watched her leave.

Many people in the army began to gossip about the ident.i.ty of this woman.
