All the concubines in the harem are time travelers

After a while, Wang Huai heard the emperor calling him, and he quickly wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and moved forward while holding up the tobacco hat on his head.

The center of the hall was empty, without a single person.

There was no expression on Li Ji's face, but he suddenly curled his lips into a smile.

"On July 5, follow me to Jiangnan."

Wang Huai's eyes lit up and he smiled with squinted eyes.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, your wish has come true."

The group of old ministers in the court were divided into two factions and quarreled every day. Some said that the emperor went to the south of the Yangtze River to understand the people's sentiments and it was a custom of the past dynasties, while others said that it was a waste of money and labor and not what a wise ruler should do.

In short, the riots, led by the people from the Censorate, lasted for a long time.

Now it was finally finalized, and the date for the trip to the south of the Yangtze River was also set, which finally put the emperor to rest.

If the emperor is in a good mood, he will have an easier time doing his job, the palace will be harmonious, and people all over the world will naturally live and work in peace.

It just so happened that Prince Yu also returned to the capital, and there were two happy events in the palace at once.

"Your Majesty, Prince Yu went to the Cining Palace early this morning to pay his respects to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was very happy and asked your Highness to stay in the palace for a while. I have already sent someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to clean the Yongshou Hall."

"You are very efficient."

Li Ji smiled faintly, obviously not too happy about Prince Yu's return to Beijing.

Wang Huai couldn't tell whether the emperor's words were praise or criticism, and he was distracted for a moment. When he poured tea for the emperor, the scalding tea spilled on the back of his hand.

His hand trembled, and with a thud, the teapot fell onto the table.

Wang Huai fell to his knees and kowtowed continuously.

"Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, spare your life."

The air was still for two seconds. He felt that he was about to die, and he lost his manners in front of the palace and spilled the tea.

"What's that got up your sleeve?"

Senhan's voice crash-landed overhead.

Wang Huai listened to the cold voice, touched his sleeve, and remembered the letter he picked up on the road.

He knelt on the ground, raised his hands above his head, and handed the envelope to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I found this letter on the palace road. It was probably lost by Li'er from Yikun Palace."

He told her the truth, that he had not opened the letter yet, but guessed that it might be a letter from Li'er home, so he kept it in his pocket and planned to return it to her later when he was not on duty.

"Yikun Palace?"

Li Ji rubbed the Qingming acupoint, leaned back on the dragon chair, and whispered casually.

He was so busy dealing with government affairs that he forgot to go see her today as he had promised yesterday.

"Yes, Your Majesty, she is Noble Bu's personal maid."

As Wang Huai spoke, he lowered his head with a smile in his eyes.

After not seeing her for a few days, Li'er had a yellow silk flower pinned in her hair, which made her look even more beautiful.

"why are you laughing?"

Li Ji opened his eyes and saw his expression, and asked unhappily.

"Your Majesty, did your servant...did your servant smile?"

Wang Huai smiled without realizing it and answered timidly in a low voice.

Li Ji looked at the letter in his hand, his eyes were dark and unclear, and he glanced over his head in a commanding tone.

"Open the letter and read it to me."

He suspected that Yikun Palace couldn't wait to take action against Wang Huai.

Just like how Cui Lihua had used Qin Yin to lure Wang Huai into her service, Bu Ji was smarter and the trick he gave to this girl named Li'er was more effective, and actually made her favored by Wang Huai.

It is very likely that this letter was dropped on purpose.

He wanted to see what was written inside.

Seeing that the emperor did not blame him for his misbehavior in the palace, Wang Huai quickly brushed the dust off his knees and stood up.

I opened the half-wet envelope, fortunately the note inside was not soaked by the tea and the handwriting was intact.

"This this......"

His eyes widened and he stammered.

Li Ji raised his hand and hit the brim of his hat, giving a stern order.

"read."

Wang Huai stared at the words on the note and read them out one by one.

Li Ji was puzzled and beckoned him to hand over the things.

He held the thin piece of paper between his thumb and index finger, on which were some large, ugly words. He waved his hand and threw the paper on the table.

"Mysterious."

Wang Huai echoed.

"Yes, I am also surprised."

Li Ji glanced at the note on the table, as if he thought of something, then reached out and touched it, holding it in his palm, his eyes narrowed.

"Where is Bu Ji now?"

He didn't think that a palace maid would do such a mysterious thing to attract people's attention.

Bu Ji, as the master, would definitely be able to understand the words on this note.

He wanted to hear her explain what it meant to only need two taels.

Is it that the people in her palace are worthless, or is it that she is worthless.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Jia invited Concubine Bu to enjoy the Ying'e Pond together. I guess she hasn't returned to Yikun Palace yet."

"Follow me."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Candlelight flickers by the Ying'e Pond.

"When the previous emperor was in power, this pond was dug for the purpose of enjoying the moonlight. A swan-watching platform was built beside the pond to watch the moon reflected in the pond, and eunuchs were ordered to ride boats to enjoy the moonlight."

"When our emperor ascended the throne, this place was deserted."

"I feel it is a pity, so I specially invite all the sisters to come here to play together."

Cui Lihua stood by the pool, her hair full of gold hairpins and kingfisher feathers, wearing a light green and yellow gauze palace dress. The bodice had a special pattern design that extended upward to the collarbone, adding a bit of charm.

The palace maids and eunuchs stood far away, holding long-handled ceremonial fans in their hands.

Only the concubines stood together in front, looking at the clusters of lotus pods and reeds in the pond.

Concubine Shen held the spear and rolled her eyes. It seemed that she had to go back and make a wooden earplug.

Shufei acted as a substitute for Shenpin and spoke while leaning on the empress beside her with her elbow.

"Pretending to be dead."

"We are both time travelers, why should she pretend? Besides, you are still here, so it's her turn to pretend."

The Queen moved aside, not because she disagreed with Concubine Shu's words, but the smell of the "Manchu and Han Banquet" on Concubine Shu's body interfered with her sense of smell, and it would be inconvenient for her to go back and study the potion.

Shufei must have been wielding a knife and a shovel in the small kitchen and came here without taking a shower or changing her clothes.

"If we weren't trying to protect Bu Ji, who would accept her invitation?"

The queen had her hands in her sleeves, obviously hiding something, but it was not as conspicuous as Concubine Shen's spear.

Kang agreed with a faint smile, and his temperament was very gentle.

She reached out and took off a newly embroidered purse from her belt and gave it to Chun Changzai to play with, and whispered to her not to go near the pool.

Chun Changzai is the youngest among them. She is still an elementary school student and accidentally traveled through time on her way home from school.

She happened to be about the same age as this body, so no one could see through her. They would just say she was a little naive and silly, but not a problem.

Fortunately, her father was an old marquis with great authority, and no one in the palace dared to make things difficult for her.

The Queen Mother also thought she was innocent and adorable, so she bestowed her with a special title.

Concubine Shu moved closer, came behind Bu Ji, and spoke in a low voice.

"Your affair with her man has been widely reported these days. She may do something bad tonight. You must be careful."

After saying that, she poked Bu Ji in the lower back.

Bu Ji's body trembled and he took a breath of cold air.

The tone of Concubine Shu sounded like she was a mistress.

Although they used to call the emperor Cui Lihua's man, or "her man" for short, and would get together to talk about their "latest romance", for some reason, now when she heard this, she felt her hair tremble all over her body, and something seemed to be blocking her heart.
