The palace is very lively today. I heard that it is the Queen's birthday banquet, and the hall is full of joy.
The rest of the palace was deserted. Mu Zhixi knocked out a little palace maid, changed into her clothes, and took the opportunity to sneak into the imperial kitchen and took a lot of food and cakes.
When passing by Merlin, I couldn't help but be attracted by the scenery and walked forward unconsciously.
What's that sound? It sounds like someone is reciting poetry.
I quietly walked towards the source of the sound and saw a woman wearing the same palace maid's clothes standing under a plum tree reciting a poem, something like "A few plum branches in the corner of the wall..."
Another time-traveling woman! Just as she was about to retreat, she was discovered.
"Hey! Which palace are you from?"
Mu Zhixi walked forward with disgust.
"Sister, I serve in the cold palace. Which palace are you from?"
The woman looked at her with pity.
Oh! How pitiful, to be sent to the palace as a slave at such a young age. What a wicked old society, what a wicked capitalist.
He held her hand with a kind look.
"My name is Leng Li. What's your name? When I become my favorite concubine, I will transfer you to my palace to serve me. I will protect you and no one will be able to bully you anymore."
"Thank you so much, sister. You are such a kind person."
She would not stop those who wanted to be the emperor's exclusive favor, but would respect the fate of others and take care of her own affairs.
Before leaving, Leng Li turned around and said:
"Just wait, I'll pick you up from the cold palace in three days."
Then I wish you good luck.
However, Leng Li not only did not receive the emperor's favor, he didn't even see Emperor Wenxuan. Instead, he was pushed into a well and drowned by the nanny beside the empress.
A few days later, it was heard that Emperor Wenxuan had left the palace and brought back a commoner woman.
As soon as she returned to the palace, she was named Xiangpin. Xiangpin had a gentle appearance and was not known for her talent.
That night, Mu Zhixi hid in a tree and looked at the perfect couple in the pavilion.
The man is young and handsome, and the woman is gentle and lovely.
"What's wrong with Xiang'er today? You look so sad? Did you hear some gossip?"
Xiangpin lowered her eyes, her voice filled with uneasiness.
"No, I just heard from the palace servants that other concubines once lived in the palace where I live now. I asked the palace servants where those sisters were, but they kept silent..."
"After much inquiry, I learned that they were all gone. Your Majesty, could you tell me how they died?"
Emperor Wenxuan embraced the person in his arms.
"Xiang'er, don't be afraid. They are not human beings. They are just wandering ghosts who have taken over other people's bodies. I am only sending them to where they should go. I will not kill innocent people."
Xiangpin's body was shaking even more violently, but she was still trying to remain calm.
"What if they aren't ghosts? Maybe they came here and entered someone else's body against their will?"
"Xiang'er, you are just too kind. There is no such thing as having to do anything. Anyway, remember, whenever you encounter someone who suddenly becomes talented, they are most likely possessed by an evil spirit. You just need to tell me."
"Okay, go back and rest. I'll go see the Queen."
After they all left, Mu Zhixi quietly returned to Wanghai Palace.
There was no one in the palace, and no one was following her. Here she could be her true self.
"System, take a look at what's going on in the Queen's Palace?"
In the Queen's Palace, Emperor Wenxuan was holding someone and comforting him.
"Shuyi, don't be angry. Don't you still trust your husband? You are the only one in your heart. How could I hurt you for some time-traveling girl?"
The queen also hugged him tightly.
"But as soon as I fall asleep, you appear in my dreams. In my dreams, you fall in love with a lively and lovely girl. The girl says she comes from such and such a generation. She also says that everyone is equal there, and men don't have three wives and four concubines. They will only stay with the woman they love for the rest of their lives."
"That girl was incredibly talented. Anything she said was a famous quote that would last through the ages. Your Majesty and I were so connected, so close that we could only each other. And yet, Your Majesty, for her sake, you burned me alive. It truly hurts!"
Seeing his lover crying breathlessly, Emperor Wenxuan felt heartbroken.
I can only hug the person tightly and comfort him/her with gentle words.
But the queen in his arms showed a sinister expression.
So all this was just a dream of the queen?
That's why Emperor Wenxuan hated the so-called time-traveling girl so much.
"Host, you don't have to worry about this. It's what those time-traveling women deserve. The love between the emperor and the empress is widespread among the people. Those women are too self-righteous. They want to squeeze out the empress and become the emperor's true love. Don't they think about how they can win over the empress? Is it just because they can recite a few lines of poetry?"
Yes, what is there for a man to fight for, especially when he has his beloved by his side.
Isn't it intentional to destroy the relationship between the couple by forcibly intervening? How is it different from being a mistress?
Mu Zhixi wanted to be invisible in the palace, but things did not go as she wished.
The Ziyue Kingdom, which had not cared about her for a long time, sent envoys to give gifts to the princess.
Emperor Wenxuan then remembered that there was a princess from another country living in the palace.
"Someone, go and get the princess."
When the palace servants saw Mu Zhixi, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, although the little princess is a little thin, she can still be taken out to meet people.
"Princess Yue, His Majesty invites you."
Mu Zhixi looked timid.
"What happened to this sister?"
"It's okay. Your father and brother sent someone to see you. It's a good thing."
When the envoy met her, he relayed a few words about her parents' concern for her and the letter her brother had sent her.
