Traveling through ancient times: starting with live streaming

Zhou Chang was thinking about this and that to pass the time.

After an unknown amount of time, the Grand Master of Music returned.

The sound of drums and music rang out again upstairs, and the palace banquet officially began.

On the first floor, the eunuchs and palace servants also brought in the banquet and dishes.

The musicians also enjoyed the palace banquet and tasted the royal food.

After eating a few bites, Zhou Chang suddenly felt pain in his lower abdomen.

Not the kind that comes from eating something bad, but the kind that she is familiar with.

He quickly stood up and asked the eunuch to lead the way to the purification room.

The eunuch thought for a moment and said, "There are many people in Qiongtai today, and the clean rooms are full. If Xiao Sile can still hold back, he can go with us to a place farther away."

Zhou Changba was not happy: "Thank you, eunuch."

It took me less than half an incense stick of time and I went around countless turns before I finally got there.

Zhou Chang first took out five taels of silver from his sleeve and stuffed it into the other party's pocket: "Please wait a little longer, sir. I have a stomachache."

Xiao Lan encountered many inconveniences when she dressed as a man. Even going to the toilet took her more than twice as long as an average person.

In Xiao Lan's memory, she usually tried to eat and drink less when she was outside, and she would endure it as much as possible and basically avoid going to the toilet.

Because of this, she developed the habit of being a stay-at-home mom and would never go out unless necessary.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chang felt sad.

The eunuch took the silver and said in a much kinder tone: "Did Si Le eat something bad? Don't worry, we can still ask the imperial physician for help."

"No, no, how dare I, how dare I." Zhou Chang said a few more polite words and went straight into the bathroom.

The clean room is covered with a curtain, with a total of four empty spaces.

Fortunately, there was no one inside at this time.

"Ding, a customer has placed an order for a palace toilet." The viewpoint system's order notification sound rang.

"Are you sick? Are you sick?" Zhou Chang cursed in his heart without stopping his hands.

Xiao Lan has been disguising herself as a man for many years, and she is very cautious and well prepared.

In order to prevent people from noticing that she had no Adam's apple, she always wore a stand-up collar shirt and never unbuttoned it no matter how hot it was in the summer. For the same reason, she tried to drink less water in the summer. She always wrapped gauze around her chest, waist, thighs, and even shoulders, but she was not afraid of getting heatstroke.

On the one hand, these gauzes are strong and cover the curves of the body, and on the other hand, they can solve emergencies at this time.

Zhou Chang was inexperienced, but he managed to cope with it. The most important thing was not to leave any traces, so he put everything into the sheepskin bag he had prepared in advance and took it away.

After everything was done and I was sweating all over, I looked back and found that a vermilion lacquered toilet was still there, clean and completely unused.

"The customer has placed an order, right? I'll pass it over right away." Zhou Chang bent down and picked up the toilet, completing it in one second.

"Ding, congratulations, the transaction is successful, and you get a commission of twenty taels." The viewpoint system reports the number.

"Haha," Zhou Chang didn't care much, after all, he was rich now, "The palace toilet is only worth this much? Then don't ask for the emperor's chamber pot next time, I won't accept it."

The viewpoint system replied: "This is used by ordinary palace maids. The price of the emperor's peripherals is ten or even a hundred times higher."

"Whatever, customers are the most important," Zhou Chang said in his mind as he walked out, "Anyway, I have no way to handle the hundreds of jewelry and clothing orders just now."

Viewpoint System: "It's OK. You can wait for the customer to cancel the order."

As Zhou Chang was speaking, he walked out of the purification room, but the eunuch who was supposed to be waiting outside was nowhere to be seen.

Perhaps she had stayed in there too long, and the eunuch couldn't wait any longer and went to do something else.

Zhou Chang relied on his limited memory and walked in the same direction he came from, thinking that he could ask the palace servants if he met them. However, the more he walked, the more he felt something was wrong.

When she was walking along the way, there were always people passing by in groups of three or four, and there were always palace servants passing by. But the more she walked, the quieter the surroundings became, and she didn't even see a single person.

After walking a little further, we suddenly encountered a rockery blocking the road.

Just as he was about to retreat, he heard a faint voice from above his head: "Is the case of the Minister of Revenue collaborating with the enemy and treason settled like this?"

When Zhou Chang heard the words "The Minister of Revenue is collaborating with the enemy and committing treason", he trembled all over.

The Yuan family was involved in this case.

When she looked up again, she found that there was a pavilion built on the rockery where she was standing, but there were windows on all four sides of the pavilion. At this time, the windows were closed, and only the one on her side was opened a crack for ventilation.

Listening carefully, the voice seemed to be that of an elderly woman.

Another voice that sounded like a middle-aged man responded with a "yes".

Zhou Chang couldn't hear clearly, so he pressed his body against the rockery.

Then, the middle-aged man said, "A minister of the Ministry of Revenue is nothing. There are more important things to do right now."

"What's the matter?" the older woman asked again.

The middle-aged man did not answer directly, but instructed someone: "Read the letter that just came."

Then Zhou Chang heard a third voice, which was even softer and weaker, and it was almost impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman: "The king is seriously ill and may not be able to delay for a few months. I hope we can reach a peace agreement as soon as possible."

The older woman heard this and asked again, "What does this mean?"

The middle-aged man seemed to sigh: "We can't drag on this war with the Mirage Kingdom any longer. Once the leader of the Mirage Kingdom dies of illness, they will definitely not be able to hold on. Therefore, they hope that we can negotiate peace as soon as possible to avoid..."

Zhou Chang didn't hear it very clearly to begin with, and the more he listened, the more it seemed to have nothing to do with the case of the Minister of Revenue collaborating with the enemy and treason.

In this deep palace, eavesdropping is a taboo. Once discovered, no matter if she wanted to do it or not, her life would be in danger. Thinking of this, she stopped listening and quietly stepped back.

Go back along the way you came.

After walking around a bit, I saw the bathroom again.

As soon as he saw it, the eunuch who was leading the way came over to the door of the clean room and said, "Where did Xiao Sile go? It's easy for us to find him."

"Ah, I didn't go anywhere. But when I came out, I didn't see my father-in-law, so I walked around the bathroom to look for him." Zhou Chang answered casually.

"Well, I waited for a long time but Si Le didn't come out, so I went to the bathroom. This bathroom has rules and cannot be used interchangeably, so I was delayed." The eunuch didn't doubt it at all.

Zhou Chang apologized, "It's all because of my stomach upset that I stayed in there for too long and made you wait for so long."

"No need to say, no need to say." The eunuch was very easy to talk to and led Zhou Chang back to Qiongtai.

After returning to Qiongtai, there was nothing else to do.

After having enough food and drink, everyone in the Taiyue Bureau just waited.

When the Spring Banquet was about to end, the Grand Master of Music Gong Ming and Xiao Lan were summoned to play a piece of music together, and then Concubine Yi gave them some special rewards.

Afterwards, the banquet was over and they were sent back to the Jiaofang Bureau.

When getting off the carriage in front of the Jiaofang Bureau, Zhou Chang seemed to see a sneaky figure in his peripheral vision, who looked like Xiao Bing whom he had seen early yesterday morning. But when he looked more closely, he saw nothing.

Zhou Chang has completed collecting identity data today and can change her identity tomorrow, but she can't let go of Xiao Lan.

Xiao Bing is a scoundrel and gambler who will blackmail Xiao Lan for the rest of her life. He will be like a huge rock pressing on her, from which she will never be able to turn over.

Xiao Lan had no choice, but was there really no way for Zhou Chang to do anything? "If you don't listen to the old man, you will be happy for several years."
