Prime Minister Yun looked up and saw his daughter looking pale and almost fainting.

"Si Si? Si Si!"

"What’s wrong with you?"

Yun Si was in a trance and couldn't hear what her father was saying at all. Her ears seemed to have been filled with water, and her eyes were covered with a layer of white mist.

It wasn't until Prime Minister Yun took Yun Si's arm and helped her sit down on the chair that Yun Si showed a smile that was uglier than crying: "Dad, my daughter is fine..."

Prime Minister Yun stared at Yun Si worriedly: "Si Si, what's wrong with you?"

Yun Si's mind was in confusion. Daddy must have noticed something is wrong with her, right? She should quickly find an excuse to cover up the past, but she can't think of any excuse now.

Two words echoed repeatedly in her mind, Your Majesty... Your Majesty... How could it be Your Majesty? !

Fortunately, Prime Minister Yun himself found an excuse for Yun Si.

"Si Si, are you frightened by His Majesty's decree?"

"Don't be afraid, dad will try his best to persuade His Majesty to withdraw his decree."

"Even if Your Majesty insists on issuing the decree, it has nothing to do with you. You are married by the Queen Mother, and Your Majesty will always treat the Queen Mother a little bit..." Prime Minister Yun's voice became weaker and weaker.

Yun Si interrupted her father's words tremblingly: "Really?"

Can the Queen Mother's marriage grant really block His Majesty's will?

Does Your Majesty really take the Queen Mother seriously?

Prime Minister Yun also fell silent.

"Anyway, dad will not let you enter the palace!" After a moment of silence, Prime Minister Yun said loudly.

Yun Si looked at her father and knew that his father had made a decision in his heart. Even if it was to deceive the emperor, even if it was to resist the decree... her father would not let her enter such a den.

Yun Si's eyes turned red and she almost shed tears.

Daddy is not a perfect father in some small things, but his love and care for her is true.

But daddy... doesn't know everything.

From his father's point of view, he thought that His Majesty's decision to choose a concubine was just another ridiculous move without any reason!

Yun Si just happens to meet His Majesty's criteria for selecting a concubine. Among the countless girls who are invited, His Majesty may not choose Yun Si.

But Yun Si knew...if, if the man in the dream was really His Majesty, His Majesty's will to choose a concubine was for her!

She is the person your Majesty is looking for!

In these two situations, the risks that the father has to bear are completely different!

If it's the former, and your father, as prime minister, conceals the fact that his daughter has a red mole on her waist, your majesty will probably forgive him.

But now the person His Majesty is looking for is her. Her father is hiding this matter. If His Majesty discovers it one day, she will implicate her father, no... she will implicate the whole family!

Yun Si opened her lips lightly, wanting to tell her father everything. But she couldn't even speak to her mother, and she couldn't even say a word to her father!

She and His Majesty were supposed to be strangers, so how could she explain that His Majesty knew that there was a red mole on her waist?

In the end, Yun Si opened her mouth several times, but not a word came out.

Amid her father's comforting voice, she left her father's study in a daze. After returning to Liuyun Garden for a long time, my mind gradually became clearer.

Your Majesty... If the man in the dream is Your Majesty, he will indeed be right.

Yun brocade is a tribute. In addition to the people who have received the reward, His Majesty himself also has it.

The same goes for hot spring baths, there are hot spring baths in the palace.

There are also His Majesty’s age, figure, writing style...

Your Majesty is twenty-four this year. He has practiced martial arts all year round and is in extraordinary shape. He has also learned calligraphy from everyone since he was a child...

Every clue that Yun Si got in her dream matched up with His Majesty's.

There is a high probability that the person in the dream is His Majesty.

But Yun Si prefers to be 100% sure when doing things.

Maybe she didn't want to believe that the man in the dream was His Majesty. In short, she had to see His Majesty with her own eyes to be sure!

"well……"

Yun Si sighed deeply and leaned on the imperial concubine's couch, as if her whole body had been ripped out of bones.

If the man in the dream is His Majesty... it would be too difficult...

Yun Si never thought of this possibility. She was the legitimate daughter of the prime minister, and her status was high. Although she had guessed in her dream that the man's status was extraordinary, Yun Si thought that the man's status was at most equal to her own.

After he finds that man, there is always a way to end that dream.

But if it's Your Majesty... If it's His Majesty, even if she finds someone, what can she do?

"Girl, are you worried about the Prime Minister?" Jin Ming asked when he saw Yun Si sighing.

Yun Si waved her hands, not wanting to talk to the maid. No one could tell her the worries in her heart.

Jin Ming went to the kitchen and brought a plate of almond tofu to Yun Si.

Yun Si was surprised when she saw it: "Why did the kitchen cook this today?"

Almond tofu is not real tofu. It is made from ground sweet almonds. It is just shaped like tofu and tastes much more delicious than tofu. However, this dessert is also quite labor-intensive to make.

Yun Si took a few bites. It was sweet, cool, tender and smooth. Her mood improved a lot and she felt more energetic.

She held the small silver spoon tightly in her hand and made up her mind——

She wants to see His Majesty in person!

Although she couldn't see the face clearly, she could recognize the man in the dream based on his body shape and feeling. She wanted to see with her own eyes whether the man in the dream was His Majesty!

But how can I see His Majesty in person?

Although Yun Si was the prime minister's legitimate daughter, she had never had the opportunity to meet the emperor.

She couldn't see His Majesty in person either - she couldn't let His Majesty see her!

She could only secretly see His Majesty!

Yun Si waited patiently, and soon the opportunity came to her.

Your Majesty wants to hunt in autumn.

When His Majesty leaves the palace, it will be much easier for her to see Him secretly. Moreover, His Majesty Qiu Shou will bring many ministers with him this time, and Yun Si’s father is among them.

Her father was going to go hunting in autumn with His Majesty, so Yun Si decided to let her father secretly take her there!

Of course, Qiu Shou has no female dependents, and she cannot go as the prime minister's daughter.

Yun Si thought about it and decided to disguise herself as a man, pretending to be her father's guard or servant.

But with her father's old-fashioned attitude, if she told him directly, he would definitely not agree.

Yun Si knew that her idea was indeed out of line and should not be done by a lady from a famous family.

But Yun Si also knew that every time she was wronged, her father would be particularly unprincipled towards her. If she asked him to compensate her in any way, he would agree.

Yun Si held her chin, how could she suffer any injustice?

Who else in the prime minister's house would dare to suffer the injustice to her?

Yun Si frowned, and for the first time she felt that it was not entirely a good thing that her mother had all the Prime Minister's Mansion in her hands.

Aunt Qiao, Yunying and Yuncheng, who dared to cause trouble for Yun Si before, have now been dealt with and obeyed...

However, Yun Si had an idea and realized that the hearts of the three people were crooked. They didn't dare to take the initiative, but if she came to fish, the three fish would definitely take the bait.

"Yunying...just you!"

Yun Si chose the concubine who had loved to snatch things from her since she was a child.

There is obviously a difference between a legitimate concubine, but what Yun Si, a legitimate daughter, wants, Yun Ying, a concubine, also wants.

Her mother dotes on Yun Si and likes to buy her various jewelry to dress her up since she was a child. Whenever Yun Ying sees her, she will beg her father to give her one as well.

Recently, Yun Si has received so many betrothal gifts, all of which are rare and good things. Yun Ying must be jealous, right?

Yun Si quietly called Jin Ming over: "In two days, when Yunying goes to pay her respects to her mother, you will send the betrothal gift to mother's yard and ask mother to help me keep it..."

A few days later, Yunying went to the main courtyard to pay her respects, and happened to meet Yun Si's maid carrying boxes of betrothal gifts into the main courtyard: "Madam, please help her collect these first."

Mrs. Zheng Guo asked strangely: "Why?"

Jin Ming deliberately told Yunying in front of her: "The girl said that she has received so many gifts recently that she can't even count them."

"I'm afraid that if I miss something or lose something, she won't even notice."

"It's better to let Madam keep it and feel at ease."

Mrs. Zheng Guo smiled and shook her head: "I can't figure out these things. What should I do after getting married?"

"That's all. Now that everything has been moved here, I'll help her sort it out first."

Each of the glittering betrothal gifts caught Yunying's attention, making her unable to take her eyes away... Each item was a treasure that Yunying had never seen before, and she really wanted to reach out and touch it.

Yunying said goodbye and hurriedly left the main courtyard, not daring to let her aunt see her desire.

On the way back from the main courtyard, she passed through a path with no one around. Yunying saw one of Yun Si's maids carrying a small box of betrothal gifts and was walking towards the main courtyard when she was suddenly called away by another maid.

The small box of betrothal gifts was placed on the roadside where there was no one around.

Yunying walked over to take a look. At first she really just wanted to take a look, but when she walked over she was dazzled, and the words she just heard suddenly popped into her head -

“One thing is missing or one thing is lost, and you won’t notice it at all.”

When Yunying came back to her senses, she had already stretched out her hand and hid the inconspicuous string of tourmaline bracelets in the box in her sleeve.
