All the concubines in the harem are time travelers

Chapter 103: The Side Hall of the Palace of Heavenly Purity

The first quarter of the morning.

Bu Ji heard the noise outside and stood up first. She pushed open the door and saw two rows of palace maids standing outside, some holding washbasins, some holding combs, and each holding something in their hands. They stood in the yard outside, neither too far away, like dolls.

"Greetings to the noble lady."

"May the young master be blessed with good health."

All the palace maids saluted to her in unison. No one dared to look up at her. They all kept their heads down, behaving very dutifully.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs allowed them to come to the Qianqing Palace to serve the emperor after they had been carefully examined, and they were the most disciplined.

"Well, come in with me."

Bu Ji's throat was slightly hoarse. Although she closed her eyes, she did not sleep all night.

My throat feels dry and astringent when I speak now.

The leading palace maid followed her in with a group of people. Li Ji was wearing bright yellow pajamas and sitting on the edge of the bed. When he saw Bu Ji coming over, he stood up and opened his arms naturally.

Bu Ji took the dragon robe from the hanger beside him, put it on him step by step, and tied on the jade pendant he usually wore.

"There is still one."

Li Ji pointed at the table.

Bu Ji walked over, picked up the sachet on the table, rubbed the rough gold thread on it with his fingertips, and his eyes fell on a drop of dried blood. The blood had turned black and was completely integrated into the pattern, so it was not so conspicuous.

When she saw the drop of blood, her fingertips still felt a dull pain, which was purely a psychological effect.

When she was tying the sachet on the emperor, her wrist was suddenly grabbed.

Bu Ji slowly raised his head and looked into Li Ji's eyes.

She felt that these eyes were somewhat familiar...

"Are you afraid of me?"

Li Ji felt that her hands were shaking as she held the sachet, and the same was true when she took the jade pendant.

Bu Ji paused and spoke.

"I'm not scared, it's just that this is my first time changing the emperor's clothes, so I can't help being nervous."

No emperor wants to be feared; what they want is prestige and submission, not intimidation.

If someone wants others to be afraid of him, he is not an emperor, he is a bandit.

"Then you will come to change my clothes every day."

"After a while, I won't be nervous anymore."

Bu Ji almost slapped him in the face. She quietly clenched her fists, feeling extremely hateful.

Her beauty sleep was gone just like that.

Li Ji was simply torturing her in various ways, asking her to change his clothes, and he had to go to court at the hour of Mao every day, and she had to do the same.

Why not let her be the emperor?

If she becomes an empress, she can go to court directly.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"But I have a condition."

Li Ji let go of her wrist and looked at her with deep eyes, as if he wanted to see what was on her mind.

What are you going to do next?

In the entire harem, she is the one who has the most thoughts.

"Can you give me a sedan chair..."

"It's too early. I really can't come. It will delay the emperor's attendance."

Li Ji raised his eyebrows and said playfully.

"I don't have a sedan chair, but I can give you a bed."

"How about asking Wang Huai to clean up the side hall next to the Qianqing Palace and you move in there?"

Bu Ji woke up instantly. He hadn't slept all night and didn't want to sleep anymore after hearing these words.

What does it mean to reward her with a bed...

And what does this side palace mean? Let her move to the Qianqing Palace, which means she doesn't have to live in the Yikun Palace anymore. So she's changing houses?

"This, this is against the rules."

Li Ji walked past her and was led by Fu Hai this morning. Wang Huai was beaten with a stick last night and was now lying on the bed, unable to get out.

"My words are the rules."

Bu Ji heard this and stared blankly at Li Ji as he walked out. After a while, she moved and held onto the door frame, looking as if she had lost all hope in life.

How could she be so unlucky that she didn't even have her own house and had to live in the same palace with Li Ji? Wouldn't they see each other every day in the future?

A single man and a single woman, they were in a passionate relationship. If something happened between her and the emperor, how would she have the face to see Master Jingyun?

Fukue came over and said respectfully.

"My lord, I will send someone to pack up your things right away."

"You are the first person to be granted the honor of being a side palace. The emperor said that the Yikun Palace will be reserved for you, so you don't need to pack too much."

Bu Ji looked at him. She recognized him because she knew Fu Hai. The two brothers looked almost exactly the same.

"I see."

She didn't look happy, so Fukue didn't dare to continue complimenting her.

When she returned to Yiku Palace, she did not see Li'er. Only Yanzhi and Zuoji were working in the yard.

"rouge."

"My lord, you are back!"

Yanzhi put down what she was holding and ran over with a look of joy on her face.

Before daybreak, someone came from the Qianqing Palace with a message saying that the young lady was staying there.

"Where's Li'er?"

"Sister Li'er took the trauma medicine and went out, saying she was going to visit a good friend."

"it is good."

"You guys go pack up and we'll move somewhere else."

Bu Ji walked into the house and sighed. She had nothing to pack.

The brocade boxes were all given to Liang Xing, and only some worthless jewelry and clothes were left in the room.

"What place is this, my lady? Is the Emperor going to make you his consort?"

"I heard that if I am promoted to concubine, I can become the head of a palace."

Yanzhi looked very excited. Her master was named a concubine, and she also felt proud of it.

Bu Ji looked at her, stared at her for a moment, and spoke in a flat tone.

"The Palace of Heavenly Purity."

Yanzhi's face turned pale in an instant. She was so scared that she was going to move in with the emperor.

"Young... young master."

Bu Ji patted his shoulders and said, "Just wish you good luck in the future. Life will not be as good as it is now under the emperor's watchful eyes."

She had to guard against Li Ji's ill intentions towards her, while Yanzhi had to guard against saying the wrong words, doing the wrong things, and angering Long Wei.

"Go and pack up, someone from the Palace of Heavenly Purity will come to help you move your things later."

She waved her hand, signaling Yanzhi and Zuoji to go back to their rooms.

Now she is the only one left in the side room of Yikun Palace.

She touched the corner of the table, stood there blankly, and stared at the bare wall.

She has lived in this small house for two and a half years, and she has long been accustomed to lighting candles in the house before sun sets.

After she left, Yuxiu and the others could no longer come to see her openly.

If she wanted to leave the palace to see Jingyun again in the future, she would have to hide from the emperor. Not only would it be difficult to sneak out, but she would also be more likely to be discovered by Li Ji.

Although there was nothing between her and Jingyun, just because they spent a night alone together, Li Ji would definitely think that they were an adulterous couple.

There is still a big difference between the brains of ancient people and those of modern people.

At the morning court session that day, Li Ji, the new emperor of Chu and Jin, went against the majority opinion and ordered the abolition of a law.

"The descendants of criminals, both men and women, will be restored to civilian status. Men can go to school and women can marry."
