All the concubines in the harem are time travelers

At one quarter past Yin, the sky began to brighten, and the innkeepers came out to light lamps and boil water, with the sound of footsteps going up and down.

Two moments later, the female shopkeeper also came out of the house wearing clothes and jewelry. She was wearing a red strapless Zen long skirt with a black gauze waistcoat on the outside. She had some powder on her face and a coral powder flower on her forehead, which made her look bright and charming.

She walked into the kitchen, shaking the shawl in her hand and twisting her waist.

"Boss, please prepare some chickens and ducks. It's sunny outside, so there won't be that many people staying at the hotel today."

"okay."

There was no one in sight, only the loud, heavy voice of a man in the kitchen.

Bu Ji was woken up by the noise. There were already many guests on the first floor, some were staying overnight, some were staying overnight, and some just came to get a drink.

She pushed the door open and looked around, as if she was looking for someone.

She didn't see the man and guessed that he might have left her and ran away, which made her very angry.

"Charlatan!"

"Who are you calling a charlatan?"

A cold male voice came from behind her. She was delighted, turned around, walked to him and said.

"Young man, I know that you are the most loyal people in the martial arts world. You will never leave without saying hello."

Li Ji said with a serious face as he put away the silver fan in his hand without leaving any trace.

"I was planning to leave, but I ran into you again."

Bu Ji touched the back of his head and looked at him in dumbfounded. How could it be such a coincidence?

She thought about it carefully. They had clearly reached a consensus last night and were on the same boat, but he inexplicably changed his attitude early this morning.

"I'm telling you, you are a martial arts hero, you can't go back on your word. You and I have agreed on 70% and 30% respectively, and we can't change it anymore."

"If it's any less, this deal won't work."

In fact, she could still give in more. Even if it was just 10%, she would be willing to do it.

Any one of the treasures in the Imperial Household Department is worth a fortune, and all of them are enough to keep her from worrying about food and drink for the rest of her life.

Li Ji responded indifferently, walked down the stairs, and left the inn without looking back.

When Bu Ji chased after him, his figure had long disappeared.

There was a lot of noise on the street outside, with hawkers' cries rising one after another, one louder than the other. People were like carp crossing the river. In the blink of an eye, a new group of passers-by appeared before my eyes.

That person was able to climb walls and fly over rooftops, and he had disappeared long ago.

Bu Ji returned to the inn, walked to the counter, took out a few copper coins from his purse and placed them on the table, and said.

"Last night's room fee."

"Another bowl of 馎饋."

The female shopkeeper collected the coins, counted them in her palm, and returned most of the money to her.

Bu Ji took the copper coin and thought that the shopkeeper had miscalculated the bill.

"Shopkeeper, why did you only charge me three cents?"

The female shopkeeper said with a smile.

"Your husband paid for the room last night. A bowl of glutinous rice in my shop costs only three cents."

Bu Ji put the copper coins into his purse and looked up to explain.

"He is not my husband, shopkeeper, you are mistaken."

The female shopkeeper called her and didn't believe her words. She just thought that the young man from last night and the young lady were a newlywed couple.

"How could I be wrong? It rained so hard last night and he carried you in. He was soaked, but not even your hair got wet."

"He cares so much about you, if you are not his little wife, then who else could you be?"

Bu Ji frowned and looked down at his sleeves.

Her clothes were not wet by the rain, and the man even warmed her clothes over the fire. Although he seemed to be a cold and taciturn person, he was surprisingly considerate.

"I understand, thank you."

She sat at the table next to her, and the waiter brought a bowl of steamed buns from the kitchen and said respectfully.

"Enjoy your meal, young lady."

Even the waiters call her "young lady" and the man "young master", which shows how well-matched she and the man are.

If she had traveled through time and the first thing she opened her eyes was not the day of the talent show, she might have married some young knight or swordsman and lived a free and happy life.

But now, she could only finish this bowl of fragrant steamed buns in silence, rush to Donghua Gate at three quarters after noon, hide back to her palace, and continue to be her noble lady.

She laughed that being a concubine was like being a private prostitute, and being a concubine to the emperor was no different.

It was Liang Xing that day, so it was easy to deal with. But in the future, who knows if there will be someone else who will take advantage of his great achievements to reach out to Li Ji’s harem to ask for people. Who will it be then?

If you are a concubine in the palace, you will not die if you lose favor. But if you are a concubine in a mansion, you will be sold by your mistress if you lose favor.

The Chu and Jin Kingdoms seemed to be a mixture of many feudal dynasties, rich and comfortable, superstitious and rigid. After two and a half years here, she was still in a state of groping.

To the north are the Mongolian tribes, to the south is the Yaotai Kingdom, to the west is the wild land, and to the east is the Dayuan Kingdom.

The Three Kingdoms, plus the Mongolian tribes, formed four competing forces.

Among them, Chu and Jin had the largest territories and the most abundant resources. However, the Mongolian tribes to the north of Chu and Jin were brave and good at fighting, frequently harassing the borders of other countries, posing a major danger.

The two countries in the south and east, although small, had already formed an alliance and exchanged coal and salt mines. They had long been dissatisfied with paying tribute to the Chu and Jin countries every year.

As for the wild land in the west, there are so many foreigners that they have formed a city instead of a country.

Although they were numerous, they were short of supplies and were a loose group, so they were never of concern to emperors of all dynasties.

Instead, he exiled traitors and rebels and let them go over there.

Bu Ji had a general idea of ​​the basic situation.

It was just some minor details that she didn't know.

For example, there were so many things she didn't know about the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, Prince Yu, Prince Xing, and the Bu family's third uncle and his family.

As she was thinking, the steamed buns in her bowl were almost gone. She wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, put down the spoon, and stood up to leave.

Behind me, I heard a group of knights talking.

"I just went to the backyard and saw pine needles. All the leaves on the ground had split into many pieces and became as small as needles."

"With such profound martial arts skills, could it be the mysterious Master Jingyun? His silver folding fan has many different forms. Not to mention cutting leaves, even iron can be cut into tens of thousands of silver needles."

"Why is he back in the martial arts world now? Is something big going to happen?"

Bu Ji heard these words but did not take them to heart. He glanced at the time outside and saw that it was still a long time before three quarters past noon.

She was not in a hurry. She walked and stopped from time to time, visiting this shop and that stall, feeling happy and relaxed.

Neither the jewelry nor the rouge were as delicate as those in the palace, but there was a sense of security in the simple life.

There is no luxury, no jewelry, and the carved patterns are mostly just a few sloppy strokes to carve out a shape.

The price is spent on quantity. A box of rouge can last for a year or two.

It's like buying these items and placing them on your dressing table. Looking at them every day, you can live a peaceful life with your husband at home day after day.

"Girl, buy a box of rouge. Look at the color. It's pure red. There's no other color like it in the whole capital."

"So lovely."

Bu Ji took the rouge box handed to her by the boss, opened it and looked at it carefully.

It's such a rare red color, but it's a pity that she can't use it.

It was okay outside the palace, as people were not so sensitive to colors. But inside the palace, only the queen could use bright red, just like only the emperor could wear bright yellow.

She bought the rouge back. Yuxiu didn't care, but Cui Lihua was going to make trouble again.

"Give me a different color, something pinker."

Bu Ji took another look at the rouge in his hand and put it back into the boss's hand.

"Okay, I'll find it for you right away."

Bu Ji was waiting by the stall, and Li Ji looked at her from a distance. It turned out that he did not go far, but was standing outside the inn.

It was the guards' shift at 15:30. It was not easy for a woman like her who had no martial arts skills to sneak into the palace.

If he was caught, she would definitely blame him. He felt that he could not leave, so he might as well listen to how she scolded him.
