All the concubines in the harem are time travelers
Chapter 120 The Emperor’s Heart Needles to the Bottom of the Sea
Bu Ji was pregnant with six-month-old twins. Winter was approaching and a cold wind was blowing outside. Life was always difficult.
Li Ji found a lot of storybooks for her and let her stay in the side hall to pass the time.
She immersed herself in the book, and time passed by like quicksand through her fingers, passing by in a flash.
In early winter, the ground is covered with fallen leaves, and winter jujubes are falling in front of the steps, giving off a fragrant smell in the wind.
She was holding a booklet and passing by Baoyue Tower when she happened to meet a woman being escorted by palace servants.
Seeing the stranger facing him, he couldn't help but look at him twice.
The woman happened to look back, their eyes met, and the other person stepped forward and saluted.
"The Queen."
Bu Ji was slightly surprised, "You are..."
The leading palace maid stood up, her back straight, and looked at her.
"This is my princess. She caught a cold a few days ago. The Queen Mother allowed her to rest in the temple. She just returned to the palace today."
You caught a cold just after the marriage was decided?
Bu Ji couldn't help but lighten his breathing, fearing that he would blow away the delicate beauty in front of him.
She remembered that there was only one princess in the palace, and the only one who could live in Baoyue Tower was Princess Fuqiu, the daughter of Lady Yongning.
The most noble little princess of Chu and Jin, she grew up in the palace, raised by the Queen Mother, and was a childhood sweetheart of the Emperor.
No wonder the maids around her dared to speak to the Queen like that.
"I have been delicate and weak since childhood. I am sorry to make the emperor's sister-in-law laugh at me."
Princess Fuqiu was dressed in extremely elegant clothes, with only a solitary jade hairpin in her hair.
She has gentle features and is a beauty.
Her every frown and smile was similar to Bu Yu's, except that she looked more dignified and frail, an demeanor that only rich people could cultivate. Amid the fading red and green of the surroundings, she looked so frail that she would fall down at the slightest breeze.
Bu Ji silently took a few steps back.
In the past, she thought she was slim, but now she is compared like this.
It's simply a green bull demon.
"Ah, I'm not afraid of being laughed at by the Empress's wife."
Princess Fuqiu pressed the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, her tone full of helplessness.
"I caught a cold, and it's a mental illness. I didn't want to marry into the Lin family, but my mother and the Queen Mother had made up their minds, so I had no choice..."
As soon as the voice stopped, the palace maid stepped forward and spoke without stopping.
"Your Highness, the Queen doesn't know that our princess has been friends with the Emperor since childhood and was originally going to enter the palace."
"Unexpectedly, the emperor dismissed all the concubines in the harem, so His Royal Highness allowed the princess to marry into the Lin family."
"Why are you so talkative?"
Princess Fuqiu shouted to stop them.
But the voice sounded soft and did not contain much rebuke.
No matter how you look at it, today's drama seems to be directed and performed by Princess Fuqiu and the palace maids around her.
Li'er stood aside with disdain and a bad look on his face.
Could it be that Princess Fuqiu still has something in mind with the Emperor and wants to ask the Empress to fulfill her wish?
wishful thinking.
The emperor only has the queen in his heart.
Bu Ji looked very moved.
"I am very happy to see the princess today. Since she is the emperor's sister, she is my sister. I will send someone to deliver a gift to you as a wedding gift to you and Lord Lin when I return."
Princess Fuqiu frowned, thinking that this woman was playing dumb with her.
Even after she had said so much, Bu Ji didn't even bother to give her any face.
If the Queen Mother and her mother had not made up their minds, she would not have come to Bu Ji in such a humble manner.
The so-called cold was just her excuse to postpone the wedding.
She was unwilling to marry Lin Chengrui. How could a small commander be worthy of her? The empress dowager was confused, and her mother was also confused.
She has always been the most noble princess, and she would never marry Lin Chengrui.
Only a man like my cousin is worthy of her.
Fuqiu had made up her mind that if her mother and the empress dowager insisted on her marrying Lin Chengrui, she would threaten to commit suicide.
The emperor's cousin would not be so cruel as to let her hang herself with a white silk cloth.
Bu Ji glanced at Princess Fuqiu. Even if what she said was very beautiful, she would not believe it.
Seeing is believing.
She trusts her own judgment more than what others say.
After spending some time with the emperor, I have a rough idea of his personality.
If he really liked Fuqiu, why hasn't he married her yet?
In the eyes of the ancients, there was no such thing as close relatives not being able to marry. On the contrary, they would think that a cousin marrying a cousin was a closer relationship.
Li Ji didn't seem to have had any intimate contact with any woman. Sometimes when she accidentally touched his hand, he would blush for a long time.
So innocent.
When she first discovered this, she was puzzled for a long time.
With such little ability, how could I have any friendship with anyone in the past?
Seemingly dissatisfied with her reaction, Princess Fuqiu had a cold face and anger in her voice.
"Sister-in-law, Brother Ji is just fascinated by you right now. A person's life is very long, and no one knows what will happen tomorrow."
"I advise you to wake up as soon as possible and leave yourself a way out."
"Recently, there have been rumors that the emperor's sister-in-law has monopolized brother Ji and has become arrogant because of her favor, making it unsuitable for her to be the queen."
"The war in the northwest is getting tense now. I hope my sister-in-law won't cause trouble for Brother Ji at this critical moment."
After she finished speaking, she lowered her eyes and glanced at Bu Ji's belly.
When she thought about how these two children came about, she felt so angry that her teeth itched.
Only she is worthy of giving birth to Brother Ji's child, no other woman is worthy.
Fuqiu wished she could push Bu Ji down right now and kill three people.
Anyway, there are no other concubines in the palace. If Bu Ji dies, she will be the only one who can become the queen.
The Empress Dowager cannot be without a queen for a day. When the time comes, she can instigate Brother Xing to talk to Brother Ji. Brother Ji may really make her the queen.
Before Princess Fuqiu broke off her engagement with the Lin family, she had already started dreaming of becoming the queen.
Bu Ji was stunned.
What mess did she make?
Even she herself didn't know, and Li Ji never told her.
And what is going on with the war in the northwest?
Every time Li Ji saw her, she looked refreshed and very happy. He touched her belly and called her his daughter.
Looking back, it doesn't seem like the previous dynasty was at war.
The emperor's heart is as unfathomable as the sea.
So, he was afraid that she would worry and be anxious, so he deliberately hid it from her.
Is the war in the northwest serious? How long will it take? Can it be won? What is happening to the people now? Countless questions popped up in Bu Ji's mind.
She is the most qualified queen.
Princess Fuqiu was still angry, and when she saw that she didn't react, she became even angrier.
A pair of beautiful eyes looked around with bright eyes at the ginkgo tree with withered and yellow leaves in front of the pavilion, revealing deep longing.
She said this deliberately in front of Bu Ji.
"Thinking back to the time when I first met Brother Ji in the courtyard, the peach blossoms were blooming, and the years were passing by..."
Successfully expanded to 800 words.
It was such a moving and affectionate speech, no wonder everyone said that Princess Fuqiu had been in love with the emperor for a long time.
The power of the autumn heat is still there, and heat waves are surging up from the ground layer by layer.
Bu Ji couldn't hold on any longer.
She just came out for a walk and had to go back to take pregnancy-maintaining medicine later.
She was very busy and had no time to listen to Fuqiu continue talking about her past with the emperor, so she made up an excuse and left in a hurry.
Looking at the graceful figure going away, Princess Fuqiu frowned slightly.
"Why did she leave so soon? Isn't she angry?"
"It seems that she is not sincere to the emperor. Just as my mother said, she is much more sinister than Cui Lihua."
"How could Brother Ji be so blind to fall in love with her and insist on making her the queen? How am I inferior to her?"
As Fuqiu spoke, she was about to cry.
As soon as she stretched out her hand, the palace maid hurried over to support her and said.
"Princess, how can the Queen compare to you?"
"It's true that she is the queen, but it's not because you didn't fight for it before. You were raised by the queen mother, and His Majesty holds you in the palm of his hand. As long as you want, based on your relationship with His Majesty, not to mention being a queen, you can also be the future queen mother!"
"Nonsense again."
Princess Fuqiu's brows slowly relaxed.
"What about the Queen and the Empress Dowager? I don't care about these things. You can't bring them with you when you are born, and you can't take them with you when you die. What's the point of fighting for them?"
"I just want a true heart from Brother Ji, why is it so difficult?"
"Pooh, pooh, it was I who said the wrong thing."
The maid slapped herself lightly.
"The Queen left in such a hurry. She must not like what the princess said and she is jealous of the relationship between the princess and the emperor."
Hearing this, Princess Fuqiu finally smiled.
"That's right. The emperor and I are incomparable to others."
"It is common for young people to be attracted to beauty. As long as your heart is with you, that's enough. The Queen must have used some inferior and seductive tricks to seduce Your Majesty for a while."
The palace maid snorted coldly, looking down upon such behavior.
"Thank goodness you're back, Princess. The days of misleading the Lord like this are over."
...
When Bu Ji's good days came to an end, he returned home, took off his outer clothes, and asked someone to fetch water to wash his face.
On the desk by the window, Li'er had already prepared writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone.
This would make it convenient for her to write down any parts of the story that she didn't understand while reading the storybook, and then ask Li Ji for advice later.
But today, in addition to the piles of books and the long-necked white porcelain vase, there was also a plate of fresh fruit.
It's grapes.
It has been soaked in water and is ice-cold.
A whole bunch of them are crowded together, with bright colors, full and lustrous.
Bu Ji almost thought he had seen it wrong.
"Where do such good grapes come from?"
Fresh fruits such as grapes and lychees cannot be stored for a long time, so their prices have remained high.
But these things in front of me are not only beautiful, but also look extremely fresh. I guess they are tributes from somewhere, precious things.
Li'er was all smiles.
"Eunuch Wang came over in person just now. He said that the emperor had sent half of Lingshui Prefecture's annual tribute to the Empress Dowager at the Cining Palace, and the rest is all with you."
Li Ji was frugal and did not like extravagance.
"All the rest?"
Bu Ji was shocked.
"If we can't finish this much, it might go bad."
When Li Ji came in, what caught his eye was the girl's slender back.
She was writing something with her head down, looking very focused.
The round-faced palace maid who was guarding nearby opened her mouth to call out, but he raised his hand to stop her.
Li Ji stood quietly and watched for a while behind the beaded curtain. Then he stretched out his hand and started to fight slowly.
The exquisite jade beads collided with each other, making a crisp sound.
The girl in front of the case was frightened.
My first reaction was that I was only wearing a single piece of clothing, which was untidy and not in accordance with the rules.
She was frantically trying to find her outer garment.
But as the footsteps got closer, the pair of black court boots with dragon patterns came into view.
The candle on the table flickered slightly. Bu Ji bit her lower lip and was about to salute, but Li Ji sat down lightly opposite her with familiar movements and spoke before her.
"You're not afraid of getting hurt."
She was stunned for a moment, and looked in the direction where the grapes were, only one pot of grapes was left.
After spending some time together, they gradually became familiar with each other's presence, and Bu Ji was no longer as reserved as before.
Today's outer garment is like the only remaining shell of shame. After it is thrown away, some of the inner qualities are finally revealed.
She twisted her handkerchief and said.
"Could it be that in the emperor's heart, I am still a child who does not know how to be moderate?"
A person with high emotional intelligence is called a greedy cat.
Low emotional intelligence is like a starving ghost.
Li Ji was silent.
He glanced at Grape and hugged her in his arms.
"You certainly know that this is the daughter of yours and me, definitely the reincarnation of a greedy cat."
Bu Ji laughed out loud.
How interesting it would be to have a daughter who was born from the reincarnation of a greedy cat.
She smiled and then the smile on her face stopped.
No matter how interesting it is, she probably won't be able to see it.
"what happened?"
"You look so bad, where's Su'er? Ask her to come in."
Li Ji saw that there was no smile on her face, and her face was even a little pale. His heart trembled and he became nervous.
Bu Ji shook his head and said.
"I'm fine, but those grapes are so good, I'm afraid they will go bad if I can't finish them, which would be a waste of the emperor's kindness, so I asked someone to use them to make wine, and then the emperor can taste it later."
"The emperor won't blame me, will he?"
Li Ji pinched her nose and said lovingly.
"What's the crime?"
"Just drink less of this wine, or you'll get drunk again like last time."
Bu Ji was stunned and looked at him in confusion.
"What last time?"
She had only gotten drunk once in front of Li Ji, and that was when she drank muddy wine and ate hot pot with Yuxiu and the others. As for the wine, she did drink it, but she drank too much when she was watching the night view in Wangyue Tower with Master Jingyun.
How did Li Ji know about this?
