Ah, you traveled through time too?

On this morning, the air in the palace was still fresh, but the imperial study was filled with a tense atmosphere. Emperor Li Yong was dealing with a mountain of memorials in the imperial study, his brows slightly furrowed, his expression focused. He had always been a diligent emperor, personally involved in all matters of state.

Just as he was reviewing the memorials, a eunuch hurried in, bowed, and whispered, "Your Majesty, Empress Liandi of the Guangqing Palace requests an audience."

Li Yong raised his head, a hint of doubt and concern flashed in his eyes. He knew that Lian Di had not been in good health recently, but she came to see him today, so there must be something important. He waved his hand, signaling the eunuch to bring Lian Di in.

Not long after, Lian Di walked slowly into the imperial study. She was wearing a light pink shirt and a hibiscus-colored long skirt. She looked light and elegant, like a fairy. Her skin was crystal clear, emitting a soft luster under the morning light. Her facial features were delicate, and there was a gentleness and tenacity between her eyebrows.

When Li Yong saw Lian Di, a trace of tenderness and concern flashed in his eyes. He said softly: "Lian Di, you are feeling better now, why don't you take a rest for a while? Is there anything that can't wait until later?"

Lian Di bowed slightly and said gently, "Your Majesty, I have something important to report to you."

Li Yong nodded: "Okay, sit down and talk slowly."

After Lian Di sat down, she handed a report in her hand to Li Yong and said, "Your Majesty, this is a report on some palace affairs that I have compiled recently. Please take a look."

Li Yong took the report, looked at it carefully, and frowned slightly. He put the report down and said in a deep voice: "How did you know these things?"

Lian Di whispered, "Your Majesty, I just hope you can see the truth for the sake of harmony in the harem."

Li Yong was silent for a moment, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes. He knew that Lian Di's words made sense, but to thoroughly find out the truth, more time and evidence were needed.

"Okay, I will continue to investigate this matter. You can leave first." Li Yong said coldly.

Lian Di bowed and left, feeling depressed and uneasy. She knew that she had done her best and could only wait for Li Yong's judgment.

In the following days, Li Yong kept Lian Di's words in mind while handling government affairs. He knew that the disputes in the harem never stopped, and he had to find a balance between national affairs and harem affairs.

One day, Li Yong was reviewing memorials in the imperial study when a eunuch hurried in and whispered, "Your Majesty, the virtuous concubine comes to see you."

Li Yong put down the memorial in his hand, a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes, but he still nodded and said, "Let her in."

Xianfei walked into the imperial study, bowed, and said softly, "Your Majesty, I have something to report to you about palace affairs."

Li Yong nodded and motioned her to sit down: "Xianfei, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly."

Concubine Xian smiled slightly, handed a report to Li Yong, and said, "Your Majesty, this is some information I have compiled recently about the movements of the concubines in the palace. Please take a look."

Li Yong took the report, looked at it carefully, and frowned again. He knew that the fight between these concubines had reached a point that could not be ignored.

"Xian Fei, how do you think these things should be handled?" Li Yong asked.

Xianfei whispered, "Your Majesty, I think the fighting in the harem not only affects harmony, but also distracts Your Majesty from government affairs. I suggest that the constraints on the concubines should be strengthened to avoid unnecessary disputes."

Li Yong nodded, with a glimmer of approval in his eyes: "What the virtuous concubine said is very true, I will consider your suggestion."

After Concubine Xian bowed and left, Li Yong fell into deep thought. He knew that the power struggle in the harem was not just a fight for favor among concubines, but also a challenge to his authority. He had to take measures to maintain harmony and stability in the harem.

A few days later, Li Yong summoned several trusted ministers to discuss how to deal with the disputes in the harem. The ministers expressed their opinions and finally reached a consensus, deciding to strengthen the management of the harem and formulate stricter rules and regulations to restrain the behavior of the concubines.

At the same time, the eunuchs were also secretly engaging in various intrigues. In the imperial kitchen, several eunuchs were talking in low voices.

"I heard that Zhao Liangyuan has been making trouble behind the scenes recently, trying to sow discord between the Emperor and Empress Liandi." said an elderly eunuch.

Another young eunuch continued, "Yes, Zhao Liangyuan has always been Concubine Chun's confidant. Any of their actions should not be underestimated."

The older eunuch sneered: "Humph, it is better for us to not interfere in these matters in the harem. The most important thing is to save our own lives."

The young eunuch nodded: "You are right, we should be careful and not get involved in these disputes."
