Chapter 119

The sky looked gray during the day, and the gloomy white color made people feel ominous. At this moment when people were uneasy, a carriage stopped at the palace gate, and the palace maids who had been waiting for a long time hurried over with a smile on their faces.

"It's been scorching hot lately, and the Imperial Concubine has been thinking about the young lady for days now. She said she always loves to cool down, but this year she couldn't go to the farm due to family matters. Lingnan just sent some lychees, and His Majesty gave them all to the Imperial Concubine without giving them to anyone else. The Imperial Concubine remembered that the young lady loved to eat them, and the lychees were still cold, so she quickly called the young lady into the palace."

A woman wearing light blue clothes got off the car. She had a slim figure, a light body, bright eyes, and smiled before speaking when she saw people. The words she said were like a cool summer breeze, making people feel comfortable both physically and mentally.

"It's just this little hobby of mine. Thank you for your concern, Her Majesty, and for sending Sister Xiangying to greet me. But how has Her Majesty been lately? It's been a while since we last attended the Spring Flower Viewing Banquet. It's my fault for causing Her Majesty to worry about such a small matter."

Xiangying led the way. She said to Zhou Li, "The family is lucky to have you. The Queen knows you're serving Grandmother, so how could she blame you? I can't thank you enough."

Zhou Li shook his head, "Absolutely not."

"The family has been well taken care of by the Empress, and this is what I, as a granddaughter, should do, as a respectful granddaughter."

Xiang Ying nodded inwardly, feeling that she was indeed a young lady cultivated by the Liu family with great effort. She was steady in both her words and actions. Little did she know that Zhou Li was complaining in his mind, "System, where is the protagonist? This journey is almost over."

System: "Here it comes."

Suddenly, there was a loud noise. Zhou Li stopped in his tracks. Xiang Ying frowned as she heard someone in front of her say, "With your status, you dare to go to school with us? Who can stay here without being a well-known figure? How dare a scumbag like you sit with me?"

Zhou Li looked at the poor guy lying on the ground with his face stepped on, and she sighed in her heart.

Xiangying quickly bowed, "Greetings to the Third Prince!"

Zhou Li also bowed gracefully.

Seeing that it was the Imperial Concubine's family entering the palace, the Third Prince put his feet back, put his hands behind his back and asked, "Sister Yingzi, are you here to see the Imperial Concubine today? I heard that the Imperial Concubine has been having trouble sleeping at night lately. It would be good for you to come to the palace more often to accompany her."

A smile appeared on Zhou Li's fair face.

"Thank you for your concern, brother."

The character she plays this time is called Liu Yingzi, the daughter of Taifu Liu and her only aunt who entered the palace through a selection. She now serves the emperor and has been promoted to a noble concubine.

Tutor Liu is the Emperor's Tutor, and now he also serves as the Crown Prince's Tutor. My aunt is a favorite of the Emperor, and she and the princes are cousins, so they treat each other as brother and sister.

Zhou Li looked at the ground with a bit more concern, "Who is this person... why is he on the ground?"

She pretended not to have seen what happened between the two of them before, leaned over, took out a handkerchief and handed it to the person on the ground.

"My brothers, your jokes were a bit too much. Don't mind it. Since you are able to enter Yangying Hall, it must have been approved by the saint. Just study hard."

The Third Prince was a little angry when he saw Liu Yingzi dealing with the rotten meat on the ground, but his expression suddenly changed when he heard her words.

He gritted his teeth and bowed to Zhou Li, "Brother suddenly remembered something, so I won't send you off! Thank you for your advice!"

He quickly disappeared from Yangying Hall.

The person on the ground didn't take Zhou Li's handkerchief, but got up. His originally clean clothes were now dirty.

"You, my young master was kind enough to save you, and you..."

The other person looked over, and her extremely beautiful face was breathtaking. Even Zhou Li was stunned.

Zhou Li called out to the maid, "Chunhua, don't be unreasonable!"

She smiled at him and said, "I'm Liu Yingzi, who are you?"

The other party ignored Zhou Li, lowered his head to brush off the mud on his front, and turned away.

"Why is this person like this?" Chunhua was unhappy.

When had her young lady ever been humiliated like this? Even the nobles were polite to her.

Zhou Li shook his head and asked Xiang Ying, "Is that the Sixth Prince who was just found?"

The sage went on a secret visit and left a story of love among the people. It is said that the woman fell ill and died, so he asked his old servant to take a letter to the person who knew about this incident and bring the person back to the palace.

But because the saint did not say anything and the Sixth Prince had never been on Jade Butterfly, rumors arose in the palace. But perhaps only Zhou Li knew that this was not a prince but a princess.

Xiangying nodded slightly.

"My lord, follow me."

Everyone who lives in the palace knows that if you don't keep your mouth shut, walls have ears, and what you say may become a knife that stabs you.

Zhou Li smiled, didn't ask any more questions, and followed Xiangying to see the imperial concubine.

System: [The White Moonlight First Encounter mission is completed.]

Zhou Li went to the palace to see the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine had lost weight. Zhou Li knew why. When she heard the imperial concubine's instructions, she nodded repeatedly and said that she would definitely convey the message to her family.

Recently, both the court and the harem have been in turmoil because of a corruption case that involved the emperor. The emperor was furious, and the imperial concubine was using litchi to convey the news to her family.

Zhou Li wanted to go back before the palace gates were locked to bid farewell to the imperial concubine, but on the way she ran into the sixth prince Gong Yinai, who was pulling a female official's sleeve and begging her.

"Please, sister, please find me a good doctor. My old servant has been vomiting for two days and will die if he continues. Please let the doctor come in and take his pulse!"

The female official looked unkind.

"Without a souvenir, the medical officer cannot enter the harem at will!"

Zhou Li shook her head in her heart, thinking that this was nothing but bullying the weak. She whispered a few words to Chunhua. Chunhua saw that it was the ungrateful prince again. Although she was unwilling, she went over and took out two silver ingots from her purse and stuffed them into the female official's pocket since the lady had ordered her to do so.

"My master is kindhearted and cannot bear to see others begging for help. Please, sister, do me a favor. If it is difficult for you to find someone, our young master can ask the medical officer to come over."

The female official weighed the silver in her hand and smiled happily.

"These are all trivial matters. I will definitely help you."

Gong Yinai looked up and saw only a green figure, but she knew who it was. It was Liu Yingzi, the daughter of the serious and old-fashioned Master Liu.

Today was the second time they met, and also the second time she helped her.

Zhou Li smiled when he heard the system announcement.

This mission is quite simple, just play the role of someone else.

After delivering the news that the imperial concubine had ordered everyone in the mansion to remain silent, Zhou Li continued to serve the ancestor.

According to the original world line, the Liu family is about to go offline, and Liu Yingzi is also about to disappear, but before that, Liu Yingzi must leave a deep impression on Gong Yinai and become the white moonlight that she will never forget in her heart.

The sixth day of July is the birthday of the King of Nanliang. The King of Nanliang and Tutor Liu had a life-and-death friendship when they were young, so Liu Yingzi must be present.

As soon as Zhou Li arrived, he heard the sisters say, "I heard that the Sixth Prince is very handsome, even more handsome than Princess Gongyi."

Zhou Li shook his head, thinking that the plot was about to begin.

Princess Gongyi and the Third Prince are born of the same mother. As the first daughter of the Emperor, she is pampered by him. She has a violent temper and loves beauty. Any girl prettier than her will be called in to be humiliated, let alone Gongyinai, who is at odds with her brother?

Sure enough, Princess Gongyi heard the news not long after she arrived, and immediately sent someone to call Gongyinai. Everyone covered their mouths and laughed, watching the excitement.

As a prince, Gong Yinai was ordered by the sage to celebrate the birthday of King Nanliang with his brothers.

The nightmare came as soon as she arrived at the Palace of the Prince of Nanliang. Princess Gongyi Sanchun had just come down from the mountain after worshipping Buddha. When she saw her for the first time, she was jealous of her beauty. Although she was a man, she looked like a beautiful woman, so she asked someone to strip her clothes to test her beauty.

In order to protect himself, Gong Yinai jumped into the water, shocking the onlookers.

But Gong Yinai can't swim.

At the critical moment, with a splash, someone jumped into the water, grabbed Gong Yinai's collar and brought her to the shore.

Gong Yinai vaguely heard a gentle voice: "No one will find out, don't be afraid." Then she fainted.

Gongyi Sanchun was also frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. She only wanted to insult Gongyinai, but didn't want to cause a death. Fortunately, Liu Yingzi could swim and saved Gongyinai. However, after all, men and women should not touch each other, and her innocence was tarnished. She and Liu Yingzi were not good friends. Although she felt that Liu Yingzi was old-fashioned like Taifu Liu, she also admired her character. She immediately dismissed everyone and asked someone to bring Gongyinai and Liu Yingzi into the house.

The families that had disappeared were all worried and frightened.

Liu Yingzi was supposed to be the candidate for the Crown Princess, but now her chances are gone.

Without waiting for any reaction from other families, Liu Yingzi disappeared in the capital.

What followed was a shocking case that shocked the court, and all the important officials in the court were dismissed, including Tutor Liu.
