All the concubines in the harem are time travelers

Bu Ji stood there motionless, seemingly lost in deep thought.

Especially now that they were standing by the pool, the night was dim and the buildings nearby could not be seen.

All I saw were candlelight and torches swarming on the shore, which looked very much like the scene in a feudal and gloomy tribe where unchaste women were thrown into pig cages.

A woman had a quarrel with another woman and said that she had stolen her man.

With another splash, he pushed the woman, who was considered dishonest by the people, into the river and drowned her.

If this is true, then the feng shui of this village must be bad, with more yin than yang, and only one man with a penis.

However, she now understood why it was recorded in unofficial history that many concubines had affairs with guards and imperial doctors.

You don't have to fight for it and you'll have a stronger sense of service than the emperor. Why not do it?

Her idea is a bit dangerous.

Bu Ji shook his head, trying to wake himself up from his fantasy. He stopped his crazy monologue and thought it was important to save his life first.

"Sister, sister."

"Your clothes are so beautiful, they glow at night."

Kang agreed and didn't pay attention. Chun Changzai ran to Concubine Jia, stretched out her little hand to pull her sleeve, and talked to her with a smile.

Cui Lihua looked at Chun Changzai in confusion, and suddenly remembered who she was. She waved her hand and snatched her sleeve back from her.

"Come here, Concubine Chun has committed an insubordination and is under house arrest in Yonghe Palace."

The dress she was wearing was made of cloud brocade, the same material used to make the empress's phoenix robe. It was extremely precious and she was afraid that this little girl would damage it.

The queen finally couldn't stand it anymore and spoke out to stop them.

"Cui Lihua, you know very well that He He...you are going too far."

Concubine Jia is usually domineering in the palace. She relies on her status as a concubine to bully concubines and palace maids, and now she has the audacity to bully children.

As the queen, Fucha Yuxiu could no longer ignore it.

Kang agreed and quickly gave a wink to Chun Changzai's personal maid Mishu, asking her to go forward and pull his mistress aside.

Chun Changzai was protected by a group of concubines behind her, and Kang Da Ying patted her shoulder to comfort her.

Cui Lihua sneered, the only woman in the palace who could suppress anyone was Fucha Yuxiu.

"Queen, you are just lucky. As soon as you arrived here, you were spotted by the Queen Mother and moved into the Central Palace."

"Have you forgotten who you were before?"

"Even if the emperor likes a cat or a dog, he will never like a boring woman like you."

The palace maids and eunuchs didn't know what the imperial concubine meant by this, but the concubines knew.

Cui Lihua was talking about how Fucha Yuxiu was an ugly and talentless high school science student before she traveled through time.

The two of them had met before they traveled through time. They were originally classmates. Later, Cui Lihua was spotted by a scout and chose to drop out of school to become a trainee.

Now that I'm here, I meet him again.

Bu Ji had never heard the Queen talk about what happened at school before she traveled through time, but looking at the Queen's reaction every time she saw Cui Lihua, he could probably guess what she had experienced.

School bullying causes great psychological trauma to people.

Fucha Yuxiu remained silent, her back to the crowd, her shoulders trembling slightly.

Suddenly, a hand gently grasped her arm. She turned her head and saw Bu Ji's face. Her face turned pale but she forced a smile. Her heartbeat even became steady.

Bu Ji looked at Cui Lihua calmly and spoke slowly.

"My Lady, it doesn't matter what a person was like in the past; what matters is the present."

"The queen is the queen, and the concubine is the concubine. This is true both inside and outside the palace. It is a foregone conclusion."

Cui Lihua's weakness is her resentment towards the time travel. She hates this place and feels that all her efforts and sweat as a trainee have turned into bubbles. She feels that her own suffering is caused by everyone here.

After two and a half years, she still didn't understand the principle of making the best of one's situation. She was so foolish as to even try to defeat the Queen by using her past bullying experiences.

She really thinks she is some underworld boss.

This approach doesn't work well in a legal society, and it may not be useful in a feudal society either.

Cui Lihua always thought that Bu Ji was a peaceful person and not a threat, but recent events made her wary and alert. This woman might very well become her biggest rival in this palace.

Although she had a low position and a humble family background, she had a face that made Li Ji's heart beat faster.

"Bu Ji, you dare to offend your superiors?"

"I am speaking to you on behalf of the Queen. Who is committing the crime? Everyone is watching."

Bu Ji finished speaking to the imperial concubine in front of him, then looked at the queen with a faint smile.

The queen nodded with tears in her eyes.

Cui Lihua was so angry that her face turned red, like shrimp just put into a hot pot.

She just raised her hand, but Qinyin grabbed her arm.

Qinyin covered her mouth with one hand, and with the other hand she pressed down her mistress's hand that was about to hit someone, and whispered in her ear.

"My lady, don't let her anger you and forget what we are doing today."

"If I beat her in public, it would be hard to explain to the Emperor, and that would backfire."

Cui Lihua calmed down, suddenly smiled at Bu Ji and spoke softly.

"It was my fault. I contradicted the Queen."

"Her Majesty the Queen has always been tolerant and generous, she will definitely not treat me like that."

She bowed and stood up immediately before the queen could say anything.

You know, Cui Lihua went to Kunning Palace to pay her respects on the first and fifteenth day of every month. If the emperor was not there, she would not bow to the empress.

This alone is a blessing for one's health, which is extremely rare.

The queen remained silent. She had no intention of punishing her. She just hoped that Cui Lihua would not hurt anyone else in her anger.

The tragedy that happened that year must never happen again in the harem.

Cui Lihua beat Yuguan's daughter with a stick just because of a few provocative words. The eunuch who carried out the execution did not use any restraint and beat the woman to death.

Speaking of the woman of Yu Guan, she is also pitiful.

She was a beauty pageant champion before she traveled through time, and now she has the best looks and figure. Unfortunately, her mother's family is neither an official nor a businessman, but a local landlord in the village. They spent all their money to send her to the palace for the selection.

But such a person died an untimely death on the day he was elected and conferred the title.

What’s funny is that the emperor had just told her that the feng shui of the Forbidden City was good for health and would not let her die, but she lost her life that night.

She had just been crowned queen at that time, and was busy with many things to do. She was also shocked and frightened when she met Cui Lihua, so she didn't dare to interfere. Thinking about it now, she regrets it so much.

"It's getting late, let's all go back to the palace."

She turned to leave, but heard Cui Lihua speak loudly.

"There is still one last step to go. Why is the Queen in such a hurry?"

"I promised to take a cruise, but the boat hasn't arrived yet. How can I ask everyone to go back?"

At the same time, the entire pool of water suddenly lit up, a fiery red color. It turned out that a eunuch holding a torch had climbed up to the Swan Watching Platform.

Several small boats staggered out from the reed marsh and docked on the shore.
