The Emperor, with more men than women, made me his mistress.

Seeing their three masters emerge safely from the forest, still neatly dressed, unharmed, and in good spirits, Qingyun and Tiandong finally breathed a sigh of relief. They had been on tenterhooks, constantly watching over their masters while they were in the forest, their ears perked up, fearing that something might happen and they wouldn't be able to reach them in time.

Seeing that Qingyun and the others breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the three of them return, Jin Chenyuan knew he had worried them, so he comforted them with a reassuring remark, "Don't worry, the King and Queen are both well."

Seeing this, Shao Qi followed suit and offered a few words of comfort to Tian Dong and the others.

After the group returned to the manor, before going back to her own courtyard, Yue Li signaled Jin Chenyuan and Shao Qi to first inform the people who were going into the forest the next day, so that they would be aware of the situation and act quickly without delay.

After returning to her courtyard, she asked Feng Chuan and the others to bring her some hot water. She washed herself from head to toe before having dinner with Jin Chenyuan and Shao Qi, who had already made arrangements.

After the meal, Yue Li and the other two strolled around the manor to digest their food while discussing what to bring when they went to the valley again the next day.

As the three walked, they arrived at the study that Jin Chenyuan had specially built in the center of the lotus pond on his estate.

So he took a brush, ink, paper and inkstone from Jin Chenyuan's study, and made a list of things to prepare.

Since they had Yue Li's storage bag to carry everything, they didn't need to carry large bags and small packages, so they prepared quite a complete set of things this time.

Everything from large items like tables and chairs to small items like pots and pans was prepared.

Yue Li: ……

Looking at the list, Yue Li clicked her tongue in amazement. This was hardly cultivation.

It's more like a move.

However, she didn't need to prepare, move, or pack anything herself; she could just enjoy herself. So Yue Li didn't stop them, and the two of them even added one or two items to the list from time to time.

The next morning, Yue Li got up early as usual.

After breakfast, Jin Chenyuan instructed Qingyun and the others to move all the things they had asked him to prepare the night before into the courtyard where he and Yue Li were now living.

Although Qingyun and the others had doubts, they still followed Jin Chenyuan's instructions and obediently moved all the things they had prepared the night before into the courtyard.

"Alright, you can all go out now. Remember to close the door after you leave." Jin Chenyuan instructed, since there was nothing else to bring in.

"Yes, Master." Upon hearing Jin Chenyuan's order, You Yun deliberately stayed behind as the last to leave, then turned around and personally closed the courtyard gate.

At this moment, only Yue Li, Shao Qi, and Jin Chenyuan remained in the courtyard.

Looking at the things scattered all over the yard, Yue Li's lips twitched.

Seeing Yue Li's expression, Jin Chenyuan thought her storage bag was full. "What's wrong? Is there too much stuff?"

"No, it's just that I didn't expect you to be so well-prepared." She even saw some slaughtered raw meat and vegetables in a corner.

With a wave of her hand, everything in the courtyard was instantly stored in her spatial dimension.

"It's really amazing. No matter how many times I see it, I still think this storage bag is a really magical thing."

He received too much information in the cave yesterday, and didn't sleep well last night, his mind wandering. Now, seeing the magic of the storage bag again, he couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"It's quite amazing. I never expected that such a small storage bag, which is not much bigger than a purse, could hold so many things." Jin Chenyuan couldn't help but sigh.

"Alright, stop thinking about it so much. Let's think about how you two can quickly guide your Qi into your bodies."

Without drawing qi into the body, nothing can be done, let alone using a storage bag.

After storing everything in the yard into their storage space, the three of them opened the gate and went outside.

At this moment, those guarding the courtyard gate were the people who were supposed to be taken to the valley today.

Perhaps Jin Chenyuan and Shao Qi had informed them in advance that they would be staying in the cave for a while, which is why each of them carried a small package on their shoulder.

Yue Li guessed that it must be their clothes that needed to be changed.

"Let's go." Yue Li glanced at the bundles on their shoulders and then turned to walk towards the gate of the manor.

Such a small package isn't heavy to carry on your shoulder, so there's no need to waste time putting it away.

Today, in addition to Yue Li and the other two, the people who are going into the valley today include Qingyun, Huanyun, and Haoyun, while Youyun has been left behind by Jin Chenyuan to handle the affairs of the Prince Chen's mansion.

Prince Chen's mansion has special signal flares for transmitting messages. If there is anything that he cannot handle, You Yun can use the signal flares to notify the people in the valley.

In addition, there are four others that Shao Qi will be taking with him: Tian Dong, Chuan Bai, Dong Qing, and Nan Xing. These four have served him since childhood and trust each other completely.

The group of ten arrived at the outer edge of the mountain. Since there was no one guarding the area today, Yue Li decided not to go any further.

"Let's start here, who wants to go first?" Yue Li turned around and looked at Jin Chenyuan and Shao Qi standing on either side of her, and then at Qingyun and the others standing behind her.

Although Qingyun and the others had been instructed by their master, he hadn't explained the specifics clearly, so they were still quite confused.

For a moment, several people looked at each other.

"Let Shaoqi and I go first. The sooner we get into the valley, the better we can make arrangements," Jin Chenyuan's calm voice rang out.

“Okay.” Yue Li nodded.

Then he turned to Qingyun and the others and said, "You guys wait here for a bit, I'll be right there."

As he spoke, right in front of Qingyun and the others, and to their astonishment, he took Shaoqi and Jin Chenyuan's hands, channeled his spiritual power, and flew far away on the vines growing in the forest.

While Yue Li was busy having a great time here.

京都

Jin Moyu in the Prince Xian's Mansion, Gong Hanmo in the Marquis of Ruyang's Mansion, and Sheng Yifan in his own residence all received news that Yue Li and the other two had left the capital and gone to a hot spring resort in the suburbs of the capital.

Although they didn't know why the three of them would go to the estate together after only a few days of marriage, it was an opportunity for them—an opportunity to get closer to Yue Li.

In particular, Sheng Yifan, according to previous years, would already be on his way to inspect industries in various places by this time.

The reason I'm still in Kyoto is because I'm looking for an opportunity to get close to Yue Li, isn't it?

But unexpectedly, the opportunity came so quickly.

Upon receiving this news, Sheng Yifan immediately became restless. He paced back and forth in the room, holding a string of red jade beads that he had been playing with, quickly thinking of an excuse he could use to pick up Yue Li at this moment.

After glancing at Lin Zhao, who was standing to the side after reporting her findings, Sheng Yifan asked, "Lin Zhao, what excuse do you suggest I use to get closer to her?"

Lin Zhao knew, of course, who the young master was talking about. Ever since he met Princess Consort Chen, the young master had been thinking about her and trying to find a way to get closer to her.

But what could a servant like him do about such a thing? "Young master knows I'm not very bright. You should ask Lin Ming and the others for help."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Yifan simply tapped him with the finger holding the beaded string, without taking it to heart.
