Princess Lily Arrives

Guangzhou was brightly lit at night. Guan Lili had just finished a busy day at work and dragged her tired body out of the office building. The streets were crowded with people and traffic was heavy. The prosperity of the modern city spread out before her eyes. She accidentally glimpsed a newly opened antique shop. There was an antique sign hanging at the door, which read "Gujintong". Lili was quite interested in these antiques and decided to go in and take a look.

The store is simple and exudes a light sandalwood scent. The dazzling array of antiques is dazzling. Lily stopped in front of a mirror. The mirror has an exquisite appearance, and the frame is carved with delicate dragon and phoenix patterns, but the mirror surface is a little blurry. The owner is a kind-looking old man. He smiled and said, "Girl, this mirror has a story."

Lily asked curiously, "What story?"

The old man narrowed his eyes, as if recalling a memory. "Legend has it that this mirror can allow people to see different time and space. Do you want to try it?"

Lily was skeptical, but curiosity overcame reason, and she nodded. The old man smiled and made way for her. Lily slowly walked towards the mirror, and the mirror began to emit a strange light. Suddenly, a strong suction force sucked her in, and everything around her was pitch black.

When she opened her eyes again, Lily found herself in a completely unfamiliar place. She was wearing a gorgeous ancient costume, surrounded by antique palace buildings, and several palace maids were busy around her. Lily was confused for a moment and didn't know where she was.

"Princess, you're awake!" a maid said excitedly, with tears in her eyes.

Lily jumped up and asked, "Who are you? Where is this place?"

The maids were obviously startled, but one of the older maids quickly comforted them, "Princess, don't worry, you are the princess of our Great Zhou Kingdom. You were just frightened, but you are safe now."

Lily's mind was full of questions, but she couldn't ignore the reality in front of her. She took a deep breath and decided to adapt to everything here for the time being. Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and a young general in armor rushed in, his eyes full of anxiety.

"Princess, are you okay? I just learned that you were frightened, so I came to check on you."

Lily took a closer look and saw that the general was handsome and imposing. She quickly adjusted her mindset and decided to find out the situation first. "I'm fine. Are you...?"

The general was stunned for a moment, then bowed his head and saluted, "I am Ling Feng, the captain of the guard team, and I have been ordered to protect the princess's safety."

Lily nodded, thinking that this was going to be fun. She pretended to be calm and said, "Ling Feng, General, please tell me the current situation."

Ling Feng looked at the other palace maids, motioned them to leave, and then whispered, "Princess, you were frightened this time because a strange thing happened in the palace last night. Someone broke into your bedroom, but disappeared quickly."

Lily frowned, "Someone broke in? But why am I unconscious?"

Ling Feng was obviously confused as well. "I don't understand either, but I will step up my investigation. Please rest assured, Princess."

At this time, a eunuch came to the palace and respectfully announced, "Princess, the emperor ordered you to meet him in the imperial garden."

Lily secretly sighed that the plot was developing so fast, and decided to meet the so-called "Emperor" first. Under Ling Feng's escort, she came to the Imperial Garden. In front of her was a magnificent pavilion, in which a middle-aged man in a dragon robe was sitting, with several civil and military officials standing beside him.

"Your Majesty, the princess has arrived." The eunuch reported in a shrill voice.

The emperor turned to look at Lily, his eyes full of concern, "Lily, you're finally awake. I was so worried."

Lily bowed slightly, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I am fine."

The emperor nodded, "That's good. I have ordered people to step up the investigation and will find out who is behind this. You should rest well during this period and don't be frightened again."

Lily thought to herself that the emperor really cared about her. She nodded and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

In the next few days, Lily gradually adapted to her new identity in the palace. She used modern thinking and knowledge to solve some problems in the palace, such as improving the living conditions of the palace maids and organizing cultural and entertainment activities for everyone, which made the atmosphere in the palace much more relaxed. This gradually won her the hearts of the people in the palace.

One day, Lily was walking in the garden and overheard a conversation between several maids. They were talking about a talented man named Li Mo, saying that he was talented and good at poetry and songs, and most importantly, he was very handsome. Lily was moved and asked around, and learned that Li Mo would come to the palace to participate in a poetry meeting recently.

On the day of the poetry meeting, Lily dressed up and went to the banquet hall. As expected, she met the rumored Li Mo, who was gentle and elegant, and had a scholarly air in his every move. The two of them soon started a poetry exchange. Li Mo was full of curiosity and admiration for this intelligent princess, and Lily was also attracted by his talent.

Just when everything seemed calm, Ling Feng suddenly appeared and said to Lily with a stern look, "Princess, I have something important to discuss with you."

Lily followed Ling Feng to a secluded corner. Ling Feng whispered, "Princess, I have found some clues. The shadow that appeared in the palace last night is likely related to a palace conspiracy."

Lily frowned, "Palace conspiracy?"

Ling Feng nodded, "Yes, I suspect someone intends to overthrow the emperor, and you, Princess, may also be one of their targets."

Lily realized the seriousness of the matter and secretly made up her mind to find out who was behind it and protect herself and the emperor.

In the following days, Lily and Ling Feng secretly conducted an investigation. They found some clues and gradually approached the truth. At the same time, the relationship between Lily and Li Mo was gradually heating up, and her life in ancient times became more complicated and challenging.

However, all this has just begun. Can Guan Lili uncover the mysteries and return to modern life, or will she find a new home in ancient times? What kind of fate will this fantastic journey bring her?

The story has just begun, and more thrills and fun are waiting for her...
