All the concubines in the harem are time travelers

It took Bu Ji a long while to utter a word.

"Thank you."

Li Ji raised his eyebrows, stared at her deeply, and asked back.

"Thank you for what?"

Bu Ji was stunned. Could it be that Lin Chengrui really didn't see clearly who was pretending to be a palace maid?

I thought the emperor had informed Lin Chengrui in advance and intended to save her.

She was just being too sentimental.

"No, it's nothing."

She tilted her head and looked in another direction, her vision once again blocked by the bright yellow dragon robe. Li Ji followed her gaze and moved his feet, always standing in front of her.

She had no choice but to look at Li Ji.

"Your Majesty, I have been chatting with the Queen for a long time in Kunning Palace. I am a little tired. Can I go back now?"

Li Ji looked at her, as if very curious, and nodded.

"it is good."

Li'er ran over and raised her hand to help Bu Ji walk into Yikun Palace.

A loud and sharp voice came from not far away.

"Noble Bu~"

It was Fu'an, the eunuch who was beside the Empress Dowager and in charge of the Cining Palace. He was older than Wang Huai. It was said that he had followed the Empress Dowager since she first entered the palace.

He first saluted the emperor, then took small steps towards Bu Ji and spoke kindly.

"The Queen Mother's order."

"Noble Lady Bu left the palace without permission for an entire night, disturbing the Queen's peace and neglecting her duties as a concubine. She will be punished by kneeling in the Yikun Palace for three hours as a warning to others."

After he announced the Queen Mother's oral order, he stood up, paused and continued.

"My lady, although you did not leave the palace, you were not in your own palace all night. If you are not punished, I am afraid that all the concubines will follow suit."

"I hope you can understand the interests involved. The Queen Mother does not intend to punish you."

Bu Ji's mouth twitched and he sneered in his heart, but he remained respectful and humble on the surface.

"Please trouble Eunuch Fu'an to make this trip."

Fuan responded and turned back.

She was about to kneel down with her knees bent, but before her knees touched the ground, someone suddenly pulled her arms hard and she stood up again.

Li Ji's voice came to my ears.

"Are you stupid? The Queen Mother didn't ask anyone to watch you, but you still kneeled down on your own."

She was eloquent and silver-tongued in front of the Queen Mother just now. Isn't she very smart?

Why did he suddenly give in after hearing an oral order?

Bu Ji's elbow was pulled by him, and his whole body was almost pressed against him. He stood on tiptoe and barely reached the ground. He said helplessly.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has no one watching me, but look, those people, they all have eyes."

She pointed toward the palace with her other hand.

Li Ji looked in the direction of her fingertips and saw palace servants, eunuchs, palace maids and guards coming and going, with a group of people appearing every once in a while.

He stood here, and the palace servants dared not breathe and looked straight ahead, for fear of offending him.

They were so quiet that no one really noticed this group of people.

Once he left, the palace maids coming and going would definitely stare at Bu Ji. The empress dowager would know how many hours she had been kneeling.

"Wang Huai!"

Li Ji shouted, and Wang Huai immediately stepped forward and answered with a slight bend in his waist.

"The slave is here."

"The bricks outside the Yikun Palace are damaged. Send someone to repair them. No outside palace servants are allowed to walk around here."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Wang Huai looked down at the stone bricks on the ground, which were smooth and bright.

These were replaced when the emperor ascended the throne. There is not a single bit of wear and tear on them. Palace servants clean them every day and they are cleaner than mirrors.

But the emperor said that if it was damaged, it was damaged and it should be sealed up.

"Wang Gonggong, wait a moment!"

Bu Ji called out to Wang Huai, looked at Li Ji, came close to him and spoke in a low voice.

"Just kneeling as punishment. The most important thing is to calm the Queen Mother down."

"Your Majesty, why should you start a war over such a small matter?"

She did sneak out of the palace, but was only punished to kneel. She was already very content and didn't want to cause any more trouble.

Li Ji looked at her deeply and was about to say something, but Li Er spoke first.

"My lady, your period has just ended a few days ago. The ground is so cold and hard. How can your body bear it?"

Bu Ji held her breath, thinking of how she had tied a menstrual belt to deceive Li Ji. Her face turned from red to white, and she looked even more nervous and scared than when she was facing the empress dowager just now.

"How many days are there?"

The low, cold voice was like falling ice hitting her ears, and the breath she exhaled became a little colder.

Bu Ji felt a force pressing on her lower back. The big palm against her lower back was slightly warm. The long and slender fingertips touched the straps of the sanitary belt through the thin material of the clothes. The tingling and numb feeling instantly swept through her body.

Her breathing stopped and a cold sweat broke out on her back.

The girl Li'er was still talking to herself. Seeing the emperor holding the young lady in his arms, she thought they were in a good relationship.

"In reply to the Emperor, it has been five days."

"My young mistress's menstruation has always been irregular, and this servant has kept careful notes."

Li Ji raised his hand and pinched the chin of the person in his arms, forcing her to raise her head and look at him. He lowered his head slightly, his heavy breath hitting her cheek, and asked while staring into her eyes.

"Yeah......"

"Is it because she didn't remember it carefully enough, or are you lying to me?"

"It's none of Li'er's business."

Bu Ji blurted out.

Everyone has their own share of responsibility, and she can't implicate Li'er.

"Okay, okay."

Li Ji bit his back teeth and squeezed out words one by one from between his teeth. He loosened his hand instantly, swung it back, and let his wide sleeves fall behind him in the wind.

"Since the Queen Mother has given her order, you should kneel here."

"If you want to kneel, then kneel until dawn."

Before Wang Huai could react to what was happening, he took his whisk and chased after his master.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please wait for your servant."

In the past, he was always able to catch up with the emperor, but today, for some reason, the emperor walked very fast towards the Qianqing Palace without even looking back.

This is angry.

Li'er looked at the emperor and Wang Huai's backs and asked Bu Ji in a low voice.

"Master, did I say something wrong..."

Bu Ji shook his head and looked back at her.

"You're right, go to the house and get me a knee pad."

Li'er screamed and asked.

"You really have to kneel for three hours. How can you bear it?"

Bu Ji reached out and patted her shoulder, correcting her words helplessly.

"Not three hours, but next morning."

"So you should go in quickly and get the knee pads and a futon. I don't want to get sick."

How could she not kneel? This was the joint wish of the Emperor and the Queen Mother.

I just hope that Li Ji will have a good sleep and wake up and her anger will subside, so that she won’t wait until she sees her father Bu Cong in court and deliberately make things difficult for her.

These ancient people are always good at collective punishment.

But she is a soft-hearted person and always wants to handle everything on her own and not to implicate anyone else.

Whether it's Yuxiu, the Bu family, young and old, or Li'er, they are all the same in her heart.
