All the concubines in the harem are time travelers

Chapter 104: Distributing Porridge and Cakes

A side hall of the Qianqing Palace.

Bu Ji sat in front of the window with dull eyes, fiddling with the rouge box in her hand. She always felt that the sky in the Qianqing Palace was different from the sky in the Yiku Palace. Outside the window was a different scene, with the magnolia tree that the emperor liked.

The Empress Dowager likes chrysanthemums, the Empress likes herbs, and the Emperor likes magnolia trees. When they entered the palace, the palace servants told them these things.

In the Forbidden City, there are only three masters, and only two of them are real ones. After all, Yuxiu came here through time and space, and she never truly regarded herself as the queen.

She was distracted and time slipped away quietly between her fingers.

Finally she remembered to change her posture. She turned sideways and happened to see Li'er coming in. Seeing Bu Ji sitting here, she showed some joy on her face.

"Congratulations, my Lord. Congratulations, my Lord."

"How is Wang Huai?"

Bu Ji knew that she had just returned from Wang Huai, so he asked her. After all, Wang Huai was beaten by the emperor because of her, and she felt very bad about it.

In particular, she knew that Li'er and Wang Huai had a close private relationship, and perhaps they had already known each other's feelings.

Li'er smiled, with a hint of worry and loneliness in her eyes.

"Don't worry, my lady. He's fine. He can continue to serve the emperor after lying in bed for a few days."

"He also said that it was thanks to the young lady's kindness. If it was another lady who was left outside and frozen into an ice man, she would have instigated the emperor to beat him to death."

She walked closer and saw the rouge box in Bu Ji's hand, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

This thing doesn't look like something from the palace at all. It looks more like something used by ordinary women.

Where did the young lady get it? Could it be that someone gave it to the young lady? She became worried. It was not a good thing for a concubine to be close to a man outside her family.

If the Emperor and the Empress Dowager knew that the young lady really had someone outside the palace, she, Yanzhi, and Zuoji would all be buried with the young lady.

Including the more than 100 people in the Bu family, the master, the daughters, the wives, and all the maids and servants in the house, all were to be beheaded.

"My lady, what is this rouge in your hand?"

"A gift from a friend."

Bu Ji did not hide it from her and told her frankly.

Li'er held her breath, stared at the pattern on the rouge box, and asked cautiously.

"Yes... Lord Liang?"

Bu Ji opened the box, and when she saw the color of the rouge inside, her face became much uglier.

Bright red: if a man gives a woman bright red rouge, it means he wants to marry her.

Everyone in the entire Chu and Jin states knew about this tradition.

The man gave this thing to the young lady, and she not only accepted it, but also took it out to look at it openly.

Does the young lady want to remarry?

This is absolutely not possible. Since ancient times, only the emperor has the right to reward concubines to princes, ministers, and envoys. No concubine has ever taken the initiative to divorce the emperor.

Bu Ji frowned, obviously it was not Liang Xing.

"not him."

"Don't associate everything with him."

"He is going to get married in the future if he stays in the capital. If someone hears about it, it will delay his important plans."

Li'er pouted and murmured.

"Master Liang will never marry. He may be alone for the rest of his life."

Bu Ji put down the rouge box in his hand, raised his chin and looked at her.

"Why do you think so?"

Li'er pulled the corner of his mouth and explained.

"Master Liang made a vow to you, and I overheard it by accident."

"It happened three years ago. You won't have forgotten it, will you?"

Bu Ji's eyes did not move for a long time and fell on her face. How could she know what happened three years ago? Those were the memories of "Bu Ji".

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Li'er continued.

"Mr. Liang said at the time that he would marry you in this life, and that he would be with you for the rest of his life, and would never take a concubine."

"If you can't do that..."

She paused and didn't continue.

Bu Ji became anxious and asked eagerly.

"Tell me quickly, if he can't do it, what does he want to do?"

"If he can't do that, he will die alone and without any offspring."

Before Li Er finished speaking, Bu Ji's heart skipped a beat, as if a thousand-pound stone had hit him hard.

She sat in the chair, her shoulders shaking.

He held onto the handle of the chair, his fingers curled up, and he looked a little panicked.

She didn't care whether Liang Xing wanted to get married or not. What she cared about was Bu Yu.

Bu Yu is a kind person, but she is weak, so she is deeply worried. In the past, she wanted to meet Liang Xing more often, so she used some tricks, but she never harmed anyone.

If Liang Xing doesn't marry, Bu Yu won't marry.

The two of them were in a stalemate, fearing that Bu Yu's health would be damaged. She was getting weaker day by day, and when she heard that Liang Xing was going to be exiled, she had been crying every day at home, which showed how deeply she loved him.

She thought about it and decided to go and enlighten Bu Yu.

There are many men in the world. Liang Xing is a good man, but he doesn't treat her sincerely. She should find a man who is sincere to her, who will take good care of her and make her get better soon.

"Li'er, I want to go to the fabric shop again."

"My dear... you haven't learned enough from the last lesson. Why do you still want to go to the cloth shop? It's so far away and unsafe."

Bu Ji wanted to speak and tell Li Er that she had made up her mind.

Li Er continued.

"Even if you go, you won't be able to see the Second Miss for a few days."

"Why?"

Bu Ji was very confused. She had heard from Li'er before that Bu Yu was in poor health and stayed in the cloth shop all day and rarely went out.

Li'er felt that her young master really had a bad memory. How could she not remember anything, even such an important thing?

"These days are the days for distributing porridge at home."

"Before this time, Lord Bu would take out some money to make porridge and cakes to give to the common people and foreigners passing by."

"Before you entered the palace, you would attend every event and even use your own private money to supplement it."

"Due to her health, the Second Miss always participates to do good deeds and seek Buddha's blessing."

Li'er told her the truth.

Unexpectedly, Bu Ji did not change his mind. Instead, he slapped the table, stood up and said.

"Great, so I can go straight home."

Not only can he meet the legendary "daddy", but he can also persuade Bu Yu to let go of Liang Xing. It's the best of both worlds, which is great.

Li'er looked at her helplessly and asked.

"My dear, you don't want to climb out through the dog hole again, do you?"

Bu Ji raised his eyebrows, not feeling that this was something embarrassing at all, and instead said.

"I like dogs very much. The world cannot be without puppies."

"The dog hole is their home, don't be prejudiced."

Li'er didn't say anything. Her master was going out, and all she could do was to provide cover. There was no other way.

"Okay, don't worry. I've always managed to turn danger into safety, and nothing will happen this time either."

"Then you better come back early, so as not to be seen by others."

"it is good."

Bu Ji decided to go out at night. After dark, porridge and cakes would be distributed at the gate of Bu Mansion until midnight.

This time is just right. If she does it during the day, she will be too conspicuous, but not at night. She can disguise herself as an ordinary citizen and sneak in.
