So what if I traveled through time? I'll continue to roll in another place

As requested by Huo Qian, all the civil and military officials in the court had to fast for three days. To show their sincerity, the royal family members followed the etiquette and lived in the other garden of Shijue Temple to fast together, burn incense and pray every day, and wait for the divination to be repeated.

Although the fasting period does not involve attending court, government affairs cannot be delayed. On the day the ceremony ended, Chu Changning instructed the Censor-in-Chief to report to the emperor that Princess Yaohua Yin Ya was unrighteous and cunning, and was not qualified to be a priest. She should be selected as the chief priest. He also suggested that Princess Yaohua be fined three years' salary, and that the Qianshun Marquis's mansion be fined three years' salary for improper inheritance of sacrificial rituals and incorrect family traditions and education as a punishment.

Last year, the emperor was nearly assassinated, but the imperial guards were only fined one year's salary. But now, just because the fortune-telling might be wrong, not only are they fined three years' salary, but their mother's family is also implicated. Everyone thinks that the censor is too harsh, but they didn't expect the cabinet to approve it.

The Yin family was pulled out as cannon fodder, which made the court officials somewhat frightened.

The Imperial Astronomical Observatory re-divinated the candidate for the main priest, and finally after many twists and turns, it came to the eldest princess Chu Changning, who accepted the task with peace of mind.

As the last day of the fast approached, the royal family, at the call of Chu Yuanming, accompanied the young emperor Chu Zhaoxing to have the last vegetarian meal, and then returned to their rooms to bathe, burn incense, and prepare for tomorrow's sacrifice.

Although Rui Wang Chu Yuanhong has not officially married a princess, he has already understood the world. In addition, his elder brother is indulgent and his elder sister is protective and doting, so this prince has always been reckless. Now he is fasting in the villa of Shijue Temple, which is very hard for this dude.

He was bored as he was being served by several eunuchs while taking a bath, thinking that tomorrow the sacrificial ceremony would be over and his hard days would be over. Unexpectedly, God had arranged a generous gift for him.

Miss Meng Yufu, who had long been under house arrest by Minister Meng, was now dressed in eunuch's attire, cleverly disguised as a eunuch, and led by the chief steward, quietly sneaked into the courtyard where Prince Rui lived.

Meng Yufu was not willing to marry the impoverished Yang Wanfan. She wanted to get close to the prince, hoping to seduce him with her charm and fight for her own future.

Madam Meng Chen Yaqin was the niece of Duke Xin Chen Shixian, and had some connections in the palace. Plus, she was generous, so it wasn't difficult for her to bribe a few stewards and eunuchs.

Princess Xinzhen was also happy to oblige, and everything went smoothly.

Now the game is to seek wealth and fame at the risk of one's life, and to force his daughter into Prince Rui's Palace by any means necessary!

The eunuch led Meng Yufu to the side room and changed into a lady's attire. After everything was ready, all the eunuchs in the hot spring left.

Meng Yufu walked gracefully to the edge of the hot spring pool, only to see Chu Yuanhong with his upper body naked, leaning against the edge of the pool and taking a nap.

She was secretly happy in her heart, but pretended to be shy and exclaimed: "Oh! I was sincerely worshipping Buddha, and I got lost for a moment. I didn't expect to break into your room. I will leave now."

Chu Yuanhong opened his eyes upon hearing the voice and laughed secretly in his heart. Now the royal family was all in Shijue Temple and the royal villa had been closed for a long time. How could a weak woman break in? This lie of trying to curry favor with someone was really not smart.

He recognized the beautiful woman as Meng Yufu, the daughter of Minister Meng, and said with a lewd smile, "So it's Miss Meng. This king and you are really destined to be together. Today I will fulfill your wish."

After Chu Yuanhong finished speaking, he stood up from the hot spring pool, grabbed Meng Yufu's wrist and pulled her into the pool.

Meng Yufu was delighted, with a surprised and charming smile on her face, and she fell into Chu Yuanhong's arms.

Chu Yuanhong smiled wantonly, with a sly look in his eyes. He knew Meng Yufu's purpose, but he didn't care. How could he refuse such a beauty who came to him on her own initiative? Moreover, the Meng family was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, which was a good piece of fat meat. He would always choose a princess, and he didn't mind Meng Yufu's flattery.

Meng Yufu also stretched out her delicate hands and began to grope him. Chu Yuanhong was delighted, and the water splashed, and the two of them took off their clothes.

“My beauty, I am so lucky…” Jiang Saiyu felt like a heroine for the first time after traveling through time for so long.

Just as the two were arguing, footsteps were suddenly heard outside the door.

Chu Yuanhong's face changed, and Meng Yufu was also shocked. Although her mother had arranged for Chu Yuanhong's sister, Princess Xinzhen, to be the "catch the adulterer" to control the matter within a very small scope, and then take the opportunity to ask for an imperial decree to grant the marriage and preserve her reputation, it shouldn't come so quickly. She quickly shrank behind Chu Yuanhong.

"Your Highness, something bad has happened! Prince Jin and Princess Changying are coming this way!" An eunuch came hurriedly to deliver the message.

This!? This is not in Mrs. Meng's plan!

Chu Yuanhong heard this and immediately let go of Meng Yufu. He quickly put on his clothes, cursed under his breath, and asked the eunuchs to clean up the scene quickly.

"What should I do? If Prince Jin and the Grand Princess find out, my reputation will be ruined!" Meng Yufu said anxiously.

"If you care about your reputation, why did Miss Meng come here?" Chu Yuanhong didn't get to eat the meat, and he was about to get stinky. Naturally, he wouldn't comfort her. He pointed at the screen and said, "Hide first."

Before he finished speaking, Chu Yuanhong led the eunuch out of the room. Meng Yufu hurriedly packed her clothes and hid behind the screen.

At this time, Prince Jin and the eldest princess had already approached. Chu Yuanhong pretended to be calm and greeted them.

"Meet the Imperial Aunt, meet the Imperial Brother."

"It's so late, what are you doing here?" Chu Changning asked.

"Aunt Royal, your nephew has come here to bathe and burn incense in preparation for tomorrow's sacrificial ceremony." Chu Yuanhong said respectfully.

"Oh? Then why is there no one serving you?" Chu Yuanming asked.

"Well... a gentleman is cautious when alone, which can nourish his spirit. I came here alone to have some peace and quiet." Chu Yuanhong explained.

The eldest princess' eyes were sharp. She glanced around and seemed to have noticed something. Just as she was about to ask, the eldest princess Xinzhen came running in with her attendants, "Please greet the imperial grandmother and ask if Prince Jin is well."

"Oh? Yiwei is not resting in the palace, what is she doing here?" Chu Changning frowned.

"Aunt Royal, I've come here to remind me not to be impolite tomorrow." Chu Yiwi smiled awkwardly.

"I don't think so. Yiwei and we are here for the same thing." Chu Changning didn't intend to continue to joke with them, "Come out!"

Meng Yufu, who was in the hot spring room, heard Chu Changning outside calling her directly. She trembled with fear and was too conflicted to show up.

"Why? Do I need to come and invite you in person?" Chu Changning was full of energy. Meng Yufu saw that she couldn't refuse and became even more anxious.

"What a good thing you did!" Chu Changning's eyes widened with anger, "How dare you, a royal family, do such a dirty thing during the fasting period in the pure land of Buddhism!"

Chu Yiwei and Chu Yuanhong were both shocked. After all, this was also a royal scandal. They could never have imagined that Chu Changning would be so direct.

"Aunt Imperial, there must be a misunderstanding!" Chu Yiwei quickly explained.

"Misunderstanding? Who is the woman in the house? Do I need to send someone to bring her here?" Chu Changning pointed inside the house and shouted.

Seeing that she really couldn't refuse, Meng Yufu walked out from behind the screen trembling, walked straight out of the house, and knelt on the ground with a plop.

"Your servant Meng Yufu pays respects to Princess Changying, Prince Jin, and Princess Xinzhen." Meng Yufu lowered her head, not daring to raise it.

"Great, what a great Meng Yufu!" Chu Changning was so angry that he was shaking all over. "Do you admit your guilt?"

"Grand Princess, please calm down. I...I was coerced..." Meng Yufu said crying.

"Humph! Coercion?" Chu Changning sneered, "If you don't have supernatural powers, how can you enter this royal villa? Come, take Meng Yufu to the prison and wait for your punishment!"

The guards responded and took Meng Yufu away.

"Hong'er, you are too unreasonable!" Chu Yuanming scolded.

"Royal brother, I...I was just confused for a moment..." Chu Yuanhong regretted it very much.

"This matter will be handled by the clan affairs office directly. You siblings should take care of yourselves!" Chu Changning and Chu Yuanming turned and left, leaving Chu Yiwi and Chu Yuanhong standing there in awkward silence.
