Swap, the involutionary regent palace fight also forced me to rebel

Flower viewing in the garden?

It was early autumn now, and most of the flowers in the imperial garden had withered, leaving only withered petals and dead branches.

Even though the Imperial Garden was beautifully built and worth visiting in autumn, it was just that... if one wanted to visit the garden, one could just go alone. Why drag other concubines along?

This reason is too far-fetched, as if it is trying to cover up some purpose.

The Imperial Garden is such a small place, and with so many people going there together, it would be strange if there wasn't some trouble.

It’s good to have wind and waves. After all, there are too many new beauties.

There are just too many incidents, and it will be difficult to explain to the Queen Mother.

The Queen coughed lightly, clearing herself of the blame first, and then dragged Concubine Shu to take the blame: "I am not feeling well, so it is not suitable for me to visit the garden, but it is a good idea for the sisters to enjoy the scenery together. Concubine Shu, please take them for a walk."

How could Concubine Shu not understand the secret behind this?

She smiled and evaded the question: "I am feeling lazy today and don't want to walk around much, but from what I can see, Sister Xianfei is in a very good mood."

Concubine Xian knew she couldn't escape. She looked outside the palace and sighed, "Today, there are many clouds in the sky, but the sun is not too strong. It is indeed suitable for viewing the scenery. Sisters, come together."

Yun Ji was curious. Was visiting the Imperial Garden such a scary thing? Why did the Queen and Imperial Concubine Shu both want to refuse?

He has a strong desire to explore, and when he encounters something he can't figure out, he can't help but feel playful.

Anyway, as a concubine in the harem, he has nothing to do all day except competing for favors. He is bored and what's wrong with going to the Imperial Garden with them?

Thinking of this, he stood up and followed the concubines to the imperial garden.

Kunning Palace is not far from the Imperial Garden, and you can reach it in just a few steps.

Yun Ji grew up in the palace and was very familiar with every tree and blade of grass in the imperial garden. However, he could not muster up any interest in the exquisite man-made beauty that he saw.

Due to the wars in his previous life, he had the opportunity to see the beautiful mountains and rivers of Dali.

The northern border is covered with endless yellow sand and lonely smoke in the desert. Even though it is desolate, it is full of vigor and vitality. That is the scenery worth seeing in his mind.

Places like the Imperial Garden are nothing more than precious flowers and trees, rockery and a few lakes. What’s so good about them?

However, the pavilion built by the lake is a great place to rest. You can bring some food and books here and sit there for a whole day.

However, after that incident, he didn't come to the water for a long time.

The concubines were delicate, and even though they didn't move much, they still complained that they were tired from walking around and wanted to rest. Upon hearing this, Empress Xian arranged for the concubines to sit down in the pavilion.

Thinking of the unpleasant past, Yun Ji felt a chill all over his body and sat down quietly in the place farthest from the lake.

They began to chat about everything under the bleak autumn scenery.

Concubine Wu elbowed the obedient Tan Cairen hard, signaling her to seize the opportunity and take action quickly.

When Concubine Tan arrived at the battlefront, she became timid. She clutched the handkerchief in her hand and did not dare to look at Concubine Wu for a long time.

"Speak." Lady Wu squeezed out two words from between her teeth.

Lady Tan moved closer to Lady Lin calmly, ignoring Lady Wu's instructions.

Lady Wu is extremely angry. She thinks that if you rely on mountains, the mountains will fall; if you rely on people, people will fall. She wants to take action against the "South Americans", but she can still be relied on herself!

It was just a break in the conversation, and no one was talking. Lady Wu quickly suggested, "It's rare for us sisters to get together. What's the difference between just sitting here and chatting and sitting in Kunning Palace? Why don't we play some games while there are so many people?"

game?

Yun Ji was almost sleepy listening to their conversation, but the word "game" perked him up again.

Empress Xian felt the gentle breeze blowing by the lake and asked Lady Wu, "What games do you have to play? Tell me about them."

"I suggest that we play blind touching."

Empress Xian changed her sitting position and said, "Oh, groping blindly, do you mean looking for someone with your eyes covered?"

"Yes."

"That's a good idea. If it's night time and the light is dim, it would be much more convenient to play blindly," Empress Xian tilted her head. "Unfortunately, it's daytime now, and we need special cloth to play. Unfortunately, I don't have this kind of cloth here, so I'm afraid we can't play."

Finally, the opportunity came. Concubine Wu couldn't wait to take out the black cloth she had prepared for blindfolding: "I have it ready."

"Okay," Empress Xian was also tempted to play, "But who will be the one to blindfold me?"

The concubines looked at each other, and no one wanted to be that person.

Wouldn't it be bad if he was blindfolded and accidentally caught a concubine of higher rank than himself?

Seeing that the game could not go on like this, Concubine Wu was extremely anxious and simply volunteered to Concubine Xian: "Since it was you who proposed to play, why don't I be the one!"

"Okay," to reduce the possibility of being discovered, Concubine Xian took off the things on her body that jingled when she moved, "We will stand in a circle around you, and after you are blindfolded, you can move freely within five numbers. After the number is counted, you come to look for it."

She patted Lady Wu on the shoulder and said, "Try harder, don't let me down."

Seeing this, other concubines took off their cumbersome ornaments one after another.

Yun Ji also understood and began to check if there was anything on his body that might reveal his location.

She had a simple hairpin on her head and a plain silk skirt on her body. There was really nothing to undress about her.

Concubine Wu glared at Concubine Tan who had fled from the battlefield and made a gesture of wiping her neck to her.

Lady Tan lowered her head, at a loss. Lady Wu was threatening her with the rest of her life in Zhuixia Palace.

Including her, there were a total of four concubines in Zhuixia Palace. Concubine Wu and Concubine Nan, who were at the top level of beauties, competed openly and secretly.

Lin Cairen, who was of the same lower rank as her - a talent, had previously been happy to respond to Concubine Wu's call and always took the lead in the charge. However, after being frightened by the "South Americans", she decisively chose to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the two tigers.

She also wanted to stand by and watch, but she was used to being cowardly, and always felt that she could not survive in the harem without relying on someone. Therefore, she is still wavering between "joining forces with Concubine Wu to frame the South American" and "helping the South American escape."

Should I help Concubine Wu? The "South American" is not someone you can easily mess with; should I not help Concubine Wu? Concubine Wu is narrow-minded and I really don't know what kind of trouble she will cause.

With her current status as a "talented person", she could not deal with Concubine Wu, who was already a beauty.

Forget it, she would help Concubine Wu for the last time, and then she would form an alliance with Concubine Lin and no longer care about the right and wrong and grudges between Concubine Wu and the "South American".

"Hurry up."

Concubine Xian stretched her muscles, stood behind Concubine Wu, and urged her on.

The other concubines also found their seats and stood in place. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Yun Ji was squeezed by them to the position in front of Concubine Wu.

The maids and eunuchs stepped aside to make room for them.

Lady Wu looked at Lady Tan who had already started working and was standing next to Yun Ji, and couldn't help but curl her lips.

Nan Yingzhi, see where you are going to run this time!

"Whoever I touch," Lady Wu repeated the rules of the game while blindfolding herself, "will be the next blindfolded person."

"Got it," Empress Xian urged again, "Hurry up and count."

After blindfolding herself, Concubine Wu stood in place and counted from one to five in a sonorous and powerful voice.

She exerted her strength from her dantian, and the sound was heard in the nearby maple forest.

Nan Yingzhi was accompanying the little emperor, strolling in the maple forests all over the mountains, and chatting about state affairs.

Hearing someone counting in the distance, she couldn't help wondering: It's okay to just admire the flowers in the Imperial Garden, but why is someone shouting so loudly?
