The Concubine's Daughter Travels Through Time and Space and Takes the Road of Confrontation

Manager Liao personally escorted Old Master Gong out. Halfway through the journey, Old Master Gong stopped and turned to look behind him.

"Steward Liao, when will the palace welcome the happy event?"

Manager Liao followed his gaze and saw that it was Manager Zhou and a group of craftsmen taking measurements. He smiled and said, "It's almost done. On that day, please invite the old man to our house for a drink."

Old Master Gong smiled and said, "Of course, of course. My Jin'er has also written to ask several times."

The Jin'er the old man mentioned refers to Gong Jinjin, the legitimate granddaughter of the Gong family, who is of marriageable age.

Manager Liao smiled and said, "Master Gong, please."

Inside the Heyue Pavilion, Lu Yun was carefully looking through the list of people going out to sea presented by Director Wan. Each person's name was followed by their age, years of fishing, and the sea conditions they were good at handling.

However, Lu Yun looked at Director Wan and asked, "Why is there one missing?"

Director Wan: "Princess, I would like to recommend someone to you."

Lu Yun gestured for him to speak.

"I know an old fisherman. He's very experienced and once drifted alone at sea for two days and two nights. His only drawback is that he's a bit old."

"How big is it?"

"Forty years old." Director Wan said it carefully, and when he saw the princess shaking her head, his heart immediately tightened.

Seeing his expression, Lu Yun knew he was overthinking it, so she explained, "I just remembered an interesting story. It has nothing to do with you. As long as the person you both recognize and trust, even if he or she has flaws, it doesn't matter."

Director Wan's eyes flickered slightly. "This humble servant thanks the princess on behalf of Uncle Hai."

Lu Yun gestured for him to stand up, her expression serious. "This journey will be difficult. You must be careful and take care of yourself first. Also, just in case, I plan to provide you with a 20-man escort team."

Seeing that his expression remained normal, Lu Yun knew she hadn't misjudged him, and her tone relaxed a little. "I wanted to arrange for you two to get to know each other in advance, but I'm new here and I can't think of a more suitable place. How about going to your small fishing village? We can all have some fun together."

Director Wan nodded and smiled, "As I should. I will go back and arrange it right away."

Lu Yun smiled and called him over, placing a bulging cloth bag on the table. "This is for the expenses of eating. We must have enough wine and meat, and make sure it's beautiful."

Director Wan hesitated for only a moment before taking the bag and placing it in his arms, bowing and saying, "Please rest assured, Princess!"

In the study in the front yard, Zhou Boli saw that it was getting late, so he brought his sixth son to Heyue Pavilion.

There was a pile of books in front of Lu Yun. She lowered her head and her fingers were ticking quickly on the abacus. It was only when Caihe spoke that she realized there was someone behind her.

Lu Yun rubbed her forehead tiredly. She had been busy since Director Wan left.

Zhou Boli walked over and sat down opposite, saying in a sly voice, "Director Wan is impressive today."

Lu Yun decisively changed the subject, "Your Highness, how long will it take for my ship to arrive?" The girl in the candlelight was not wearing any makeup but was beautiful and charming, her clear eyes were particularly lively, especially -

Zhou Boli lowered his eyes to look at the table, picked up a piece of dessert with his slender fingers, put it into his mouth and chewed it carefully, sliding his throat up and down to swallow the dessert into his stomach bit by bit.

Lu Yun was completely unaware. Seeing that there were some crumbs left on his fingertips, she handed him her handkerchief, muttering to herself, "Prince, you haven't answered my question yet?"

Zhou Boli looked helpless as he took the handkerchief and wiped his fingertips carefully. "Five days at most."

Although Liuzi lowered his head, he was always paying attention to his master's movements. When he saw the handkerchief disappear into his master's sleeve, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he just treated himself as a decoration.

The next day, Director Wan sent someone to deliver the message, and the time was set for the next day at 5 p.m.

Liuzi sent Caihe away and when he came back he saw his master staring out the window, as if thinking about something.

"Sixth son, take a few jars of Tongsheng gold from the mansion to Director Wan and tell him that the Lujian group likes strong liquor. These jars of Tongsheng gold are for me to entertain them."

Before leaving, Lu Yun could not hide her disappointment when she learned that the prince had something to do tonight, and she took Caihe on a carriage to the fishing village.

After getting off the car on the shore, Lu Yun saw the bright light on the distant beach from afar.

Several piles of torches illuminated the surroundings, and in the middle was a pile of firewood more than one person tall.

Tables, chairs, and benches were placed around the place. Women were constantly serving delicious food to the table. Fish, barbecued meat, and other items were placed on the fire. Children were running around, chasing and playing, and laughing constantly.

Seeing the woman in red following behind Aji, everyone knelt down and kowtowed. "I greet the princess." "Long live the princess." There were all kinds of comments.

Lu Yun hurriedly asked everyone to get up and walked a few steps away from the crowd.

Director Wan apologized with shame, "My Lady, they are all ignorant, please don't blame them."

Lu Yun smiled and waved her hand, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble by being so abrupt. My Lord, please go and get busy."

Feeling the sea breeze blowing from the sea, Lu Yun brushed away the hair on her forehead. In ten days, her first ship would leave this land.

May the Three Pure Ones above bless this voyage to the sea to be smooth and may my wish come true.

The woman on the stage had fair skin, black hair, starry eyes, and red lips. She was dressed in a red dress that was breathtakingly beautiful. Lu Yun smiled and looked around at everyone, raised her glass, and her clear voice reached everyone's ears, "All rivers flow east to the sea, when will they return west? May you all leave soon and return soon!"

The audience felt that the distinguished person on the stage was like a spirit bird that had strayed into the mortal world. To look at him any longer would be blasphemy. They all withdrew their gazes and looked straight ahead, raising their glasses together and saying, "Go soon, come back soon!"

After a few drinks, Lu Yun felt like a fire was stuck in her throat, her face and ears were hot, and her heartbeat was much faster. Realizing that she was not able to handle the alcohol, Lu Yun helped Cai He to her feet, struggled to support herself, smiled and said goodbye to everyone, and returned to the car.

Lu Yun leaned over the back seat, her heart pounding like a drum. Listening to the noise outside, she closed her eyes and smacked her lips twice, "Caihe, let's go back home."

The carriage began to move, and as it rocked, Lu Yun's consciousness gradually faded. It felt as if someone whispered something in her ear. The delicate fragrance of pinewood enveloped her, a damp, warm breath wafting against her face. Her curled eyelashes fluttered gently like butterflies. Lu Yun mumbled vaguely, "Zhou, Zhou Boli, what are you doing? I want to sleep."

The man clasped her restless hands, staring at the woman in his arms with an increasingly deep gaze. He opened his thin lips and said, "Ayun, don't move. We're getting married in three months."

Lu Yun was sleeping drunkenly. Perhaps because she was annoyed by the noise around her ears, she turned her head inwards and buried her whole body in someone's robe. The warm breath penetrated through the layers of fabric and reached the man's waist.

The warm evening breeze swept across the grassy hills, and the curtain inside the slightly swaying carriage was lifted up a corner, revealing a vague and ambiguous outline inside.

The person inside lowered his head, his hair and robes were tangled, and the black hair cascading down his shoulders trembled slightly as the carriage moved forward, making the silence seem like a sound.

The bright moon has no intention of looking back, so I let it go down to the west building.
