Chapter 8: Embarrassment opens the door to embarrassment

Yongning Palace.

The guards and maids escorted Su Feiran into the palace, and then dispersed back to their respective posts. They knew it was inconvenient to wait outside, after all, the emperor had a new beauty, and he would not send her back in the middle of the night.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see clearly that His Majesty's love for Liu Ronghua was different from that of everyone else in the back garden. The first time Liu Ronghua slept with His Majesty, His Majesty even sent away the palace maids who were listening to her bed, saying that... he wanted to protect Liu Ronghua's privacy.

For Liu Ronghua, the emperor even broke the existing rules, which shows his partiality.

As the palace door closed, Su Feiran, who was heavily made up, stood there and looked at Qin Fengan in surprise.

Neither of them knew what to say and the situation became a bit awkward.

Although the palace maid had taught Su Feiran the rules of serving the emperor, she and Qin Feng'an both knew each other's background. There was no one else in the hall at this time, and if they used this set of feudal etiquette again, it would inevitably be embarrassing to meet an acquaintance on a blind date.

But it was also quite awkward for both of them to remain silent. It was as if an awkward bomb had exploded in the silent hall, and awkward dust was everywhere.

"Um, ahem..."

Qin Fengan broke the silence and pointed awkwardly at the wooden chair behind him.

"Sit, sit, you're welcome."

"I am visiting your house, but I have to ask you to come first. Please take a seat, please take a seat."

To show friendliness, Su Feiran clumsily imitated the polite words that adults used when guests came to their house, but this only made the situation even more awkward.

The two of them politely gave way to each other and finally sat opposite each other. Looking at each other's faces, they fell into a state of speechlessness again.

"How old are you?" Su Feiran asked, then realized that the question was inaccurate and added, "I mean, before you traveled through time..."

"I'm a sophomore, 19 years old." Qin Feng'an said, and then asked, "What about you?"

"I just turned eighteen and I'm a freshman." Su Feiran replied.

"..."

"Which school are you from?" Qin Feng'an touched his nose and asked.

"I'm from Beijing University, what about you?"

"Yamashiro Normal School."

"Oh! That's a great university. I have friends there."

"Hey, that's all..."

“It’s much better than our school.”

"How is that possible? I think your school is great."

"No no......"

"..."

Su Feiran tapped her toes on the ground. She was not a socially anxious person, but in this situation, when she met her fellow time travelers, she couldn't say anything naughty.

Qin Fengan stared at the teacup on the wooden table, tears streaming down his face: "Just kill me."

A cup of tea passed by, and the two of them walked out of Disneyland on the ground.

"Time travel is a magical thing, isn't it?"

Su Feiran tried to open the topic again. Although it was nonsense, it worked wonders this time. Qin Fengan recalled his previous discovery in Dali Garden, and his expression suddenly became serious. He told Su Feiran everything.

"Ancient Dynasty...unheard of."

Su Feiran thought for a moment and said that she was a liberal arts student and it was not the case that she could not even remember the basic list of dynasties.

After thinking about it, she could only conclude that the two of them had discovered a whole new dynasty.

"You mean, modern records are wrong?" Qin Feng'an was skeptical. He felt that the two of them had simply traveled to a different world where certain facts and reality were consistent. Otherwise, how could one explain all this chaos?

Su Feiran shook his head and said, "I am not advocating historical nihilism, but if we take the present as a benchmark and assume this place is in the past, we can make a better judgment."

Qin Feng'an suddenly realized what Su Feiran meant. If the two of them thought this place was a different world, then all past experiences would become useless. It would be better to assume that they had traveled to the past, and then infer the specific year and situation based on the evidence. If everything didn't match up, then the theory of a different world would become possible.

"That foreigner has never heard of Shakespeare, but the technology here is not too ancient, perhaps from the Middle Ages. However, this kind of division is not popular in the East, so I would say that it is at least after the fifth century AD." Su Feiran said.

"Thomas Aquinas." Qin Fengan blurted out.

"What?" Su Feiran didn't hear clearly.

"Nothing." Qin Fengan waved his hand.

Su Feiran continued his thoughts: "Since this is the past, perhaps we can use modern knowledge to contribute to the technology of the ancient dynasty, just like in online novels."

"Oh, like planting potatoes and corn, inventing soap and perfume?" Qin Feng'an became excited. "Do you know how to do it specifically? I'll help you!"

"I can't." Su Feiran said frankly.

"But I don't know how to do it either." Qin Fengan scratched his head.

The two suddenly thought of a terrible possibility and looked at each other for a long time.

"What...are you majoring in?" Qin Fengan asked.

"Digital media." Su Feiran answered stiffly, and then asked, "What about you?"

"Philosophy." Qin Feng'an looked ashen.

The room fell into an eerie silence again, just like the awkward scene between the two of them earlier.

These two liberal arts students are very knowledgeable about the theories of their majors, but theories are useless if they are not put into practice.

"We...can't just wait for a science student to fall from the sky." Qin Feng'an held his forehead helplessly.

The current situation is like this, and regretting past decisions won't change anything. Su Feiran spread his hands and said resignedly: "Then I can only live a good life here first, and then find an opportunity to travel back."

"Are you sure we can still travel back to—"

"Shut up!"

Qin Feng'an quickly shut up and reached out to touch the armrest of the wooden chair to get rid of the bad luck.

If people outside the palace knew about this scene, they would be shocked. A newcomer in the back garden dared to be mean to the emperor. I'm afraid he wanted to play the Nine Clans Elimination Game.

"However, you must be extra vigilant in the days ahead."

Although Qin Fengan knew that Su Feiran wanted to settle down, the information he found in Dali Garden forced him to remind Su Feiran.

"The harem you are in is not a stagnant pool, nor is it the comfortable place you think. I... Although the original owner is young, he has been on the throne for five or six years, and still has no children. Moreover, when I read the classics, I saw that the emperors in the past had to deal with harem disputes many times, and even executed several concubines. This shows how dangerous the struggle in the harem is."

Su Feiran was a loyal fan of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "The Guide to Yan Huan" before she traveled through time, but she didn't want to be plotted to death like the concubines in the drama. Although she had already entered the harem of trouble and could only muddle through, she always had to avoid risks to the greatest extent possible.

Thinking of this, Su Feiran quickly asked Qin Fengan to give some details to deal with potential troubles.

"In the harem disputes, jealousy is a minor issue, and factional conflicts are the mainstream." Qin Feng'an frowned, not only speaking to Su Feiran, but also to himself, "The Queen Mother was born in the Jiangyin Lin family, and her family has been prominent for generations because of her contributions to the founding of the country. She has won over many powerful officials to serve her family. Once she realizes that I am not an adopted son who always obeys her, I am afraid she will secretly make efforts to disrupt the government and bring me down."

Su Feiran could tell there was something else behind Qin Fengan's words: "Are there any concubines from the Lin family?"
