All the concubines in the harem are time travelers

Bu Ji asked her in a calm tone without changing his expression.

"If I had harmed her, why would I have come to ask the Queen Mother for help in saving her? Besides, I came earlier than you. You are the concubine's personal maid. You came so late. Are you worried that the concubine will stay in prison for too short a time?"

Qinyin was speechless. She couldn't say that she had sneaked out against the emperor's wishes.

This crime is not a small one.

Seeing that she stopped talking, Bu Ji looked at the empress dowager again and spoke righteously.

"Please ask the Empress Dowager to move to the Qianqing Palace as soon as possible to discuss this matter with the Emperor."

Although the Queen Mother still suspected her, she did not hesitate and immediately called Xiu Yu.

"Prepare the sedan chair. I want to go see the emperor."

A group of people led by the Queen Mother left in a mighty manner, leaving only Yongning and Bu Ji.

Miss Yongning drank tea and glanced at her from time to time, with either a stern face or a smile on her lips.

He has a really clever tongue, and he has learned Bu Cong's only advantage.

The emperor was puzzled. It was obvious that what he disliked most in the previous dynasty was Bu Yushi's eloquence, so why did he favor this clever girl in the harem?

For some reason, Bu Ji always felt that there was something strange about the way Yongning looked at her. It was a kind of cold kindness, like a domesticated snake.

*** had no intention of asking her to leave, and she did not dare to stand up and take her leave first.

Fortunately, after a cup of tea, *** finally got up. Bu Ji followed her movements and became nervous.

Yongning*** walked up to her, patted her shoulder and said.

"I'll go check it out for you."

After saying this, she left with her entourage.

Bu Ji quickly called Li'er and headed towards Yikun Palace, feeling like he was escaping in a panic.

Fortunately, she returned to the palace and finally breathed a sigh of relief. She collapsed on the bed, lying in a big letter shape. Li'er was used to it and silently pulled the screen to block the view of people outside so that she could lie down comfortably for a while.

Bu Ji raised his hand and rolled up the tassels on the bed curtain, talking to himself.

"Luckily, *** is here today, otherwise it would not be so easy for us to fool the Queen Mother."

"Yes, my lady, I think *** likes you very much."

Bu Ji suddenly sat up, crossed his legs, and let his hands hang naturally.

"How much do you know about the relationship between my mother and ***?"

Li'er shook her head, but her expression did not change.

"I was bought by the young lady. At that time, the young lady was already ten years old, and the lady had already..."

She stopped talking, and Bu Ji understood what she meant and waved his hand to signal her to go out.

He called Yanzhi over and gave her instructions.

"Go prepare some fresh vegetables and beef and mutton. We'll have hot pot tonight."

"Let Zuoji tell everyone."

"By the way, tell Concubine Shu to bring her special dipping sauce. The hot pot won't taste good without her dipping sauce."

Just think of it as a memorial to Fang Wensheng. Although she is not her real mother, she is still blessing her in the dark.

"Master, how did you know that the imperial kitchen has sent a lot of fresh food, and I am worried that I can't finish it all."

Yanzhi was very happy and nodded repeatedly and ran to the kitchenette.

He stepped on a chair and took down an iron pot from a high wooden shelf. It was a double-pot.

After washing and wiping them clean, he quickly began to prepare vegetables and beef and mutton, all of which had just been delivered from the imperial kitchen. The vegetables had been picked and washed, then wrapped in paper. The beef and mutton had also been freshly cut this morning and delivered together. The quantities were almost as much as those in the Queen's Palace.

It is obvious that he wants to please the people in Yanxi Palace.

The imperial concubine's momentum was gone, and the palace maids and eunuchs were the first to know about it, followed by the concubines in each palace.

The hot pot was set up in the yard. A hole was dug on the table, with a fire burning underneath and a shuangxiang pot placed on top. Bu Ji said that this was the only way to enjoy the food.

At dusk, stars were sparsely dotted on the dark sky, and wave after wave of people poured into the Yiku Palace.

First, there was Concubine Shu, who was wearing a light green palace dress and an orchid hairpin on her head, which was unique and elegant.

She brought a lot of sauces, a lot of bottles and jars, including a special chili sauce that tasted like Lao Gan Ma, as well as chive sauce, sesame sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, etc.

Following behind Concubine Shu was Concubine Chun, who had a round face, chubby arms, and was already as tall as Concubine Shu's shoulders. Her mind was completely focused on the boiling shabu-shabu pot, and she was eagerly waiting for everyone to arrive so that she could serve the dishes.

Bu Ji asked them to sit down and asked Li'er to unpack all the bottles and jars and put them into small bowls, and then line them up on the table.

When she finished her work, she heard Fucha Yuxiu's voice from behind her.

"How can I help you?"

It was a rare occasion that Fucha Yuxiu did not wear a phoenix robe or a phoenix crown. She was dressed like a farm girl, with her sleeves and trouser legs rolled up, looking neat and tidy.

She just felt relaxed all over and no longer had to act like a queen.

"Please trouble our queen to put these mutton slices into the pot herself."

Bu Ji, who was wearing a goose yellow silk dress and an apron, handed her a plate of meat.

Fucha Yuxiu took the plate and put the mutton into the boiling pot. She laughed and said jokingly.

"As you command, my dear master."

Bu Ji stretched out his hand to stop her from speaking and spoke quickly.

"Stop, stop, stop. No one is allowed to mention the Empress or the Emperor tonight. We are only going to eat hot pot tonight."

Fucha Yuxiu sat on a low, long bench next to Concubine Shu.

After a while, there was a noise on the roof, and a woman dressed as a man jumped down from the roof with a spear.

When everyone saw that it was Concubine Shen, they applauded together.

Bu Ji stepped forward and took the spear from her hand, only to find that he couldn't lift it as it weighed about thirty or forty kilograms.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. Your martial arts skills have improved."

Concubine Shen's face was as cold as ice, her mouth opened and closed, with no other expression.

"generally."

It's not that she's aloof. She was just annoyed by those guards today. She went to them to practice martial arts with good intentions, but they were so scared that they knelt on the ground. It was really boring.

If she hadn't been trapped in the palace, she would have become a famous female knight. She might even have established her own gang and unified the world.

After everyone sat down, Bu Ji looked around but did not pick up his chopsticks, as if he was waiting for someone.

"Where's Kang Yue?"

"Why hasn't she come yet?"

The person who shared the same palace with Kang was Concubine Shen. Concubine Shen shook her head and said nothing. The two of them were usually busy with their own things and rarely visited each other even though they lived in the same palace.

"Forget it, let's eat first. She must have been teaching the embroiderers in the palace until dawn last night. I don't know if she's awake yet."

As Concubine Shu was talking, she picked up a spoon and scooped a bowl full of vegetables and beef and mutton for Chun Changzai.

Chun Changzai buried his head in the food, enjoying it very much, and everyone else started eating too.

Kang Da Ying arrived late, followed by a man. When Bu Ji saw the familiar face, he stood up with the bowl in his hand and a pair of wooden chopsticks in his other hand.
