After traveling through time, I thrived in ancient times

Chapter 432 Send All Out

After leaving the Empress Dowager's bedroom, Yu Tingwan and Shen Chenli walked slowly side by side on the palace road.

After a long time, Shen Chenli's voice finally sounded.

"Late night."

Yu Tingwan turned and looked at him.

"After mother, let's bury her on the highest mountain outside the city."

Yu Tingwan was slightly stunned, then slowly nodded in agreement.

After they took Concubine Duanjin away, they originally wanted to bury her at the border. On the one hand, they had too many things to do and didn't have time to do them. On the other hand...

Yu Tingwan could also see that Shen Chenli had been avoiding this matter, and she could understand that.

It is bitterly cold at the border, and if they are really buried there, they will have to return to the capital in the future, and it will be too far away to pay homage to them by then.

What's more, disturbing Concubine Duan Jin again and again was not what Shen Chenli wanted to see.

So both of them seemed to have forgotten about the matter until today, which could be considered as revenge for Concubine Duan Jin.

The two did not hide their movements at all, and soon everyone else in the harem knew that the emperor and the princess had come to the harem. Except for those concubines who had princes, everyone else in the palace began to get restless.

The two walked from the Empress Dowager's Palace to Shen Haocang's palace. On the way, they passed by the Imperial Garden. Yu Tingwan looked over and her eyes jumped.

Different from the loneliness when they first entered the harem, the imperial garden at this moment... is full of singing birds and dancing swallows!

Yu Tingwan could only use this word to describe it. It had been a long time since she had watched such a large-scale stage play.

The flowers in the Imperial Garden have hardly bloomed yet, and even the trees are just sprouting. The weather is still a little cold, but it doesn't affect the interest of this group of people at all.

All the concubines who appeared out of nowhere gathered in the imperial garden, one every five steps. All of them were dressed very coolly. Some were either reciting poems, dancing, and some were, uh... pretending to catch butterflies!

The two men stood not far away and looked at each other, and Shen Chenli's face turned dark.

How could he, as smart as he is, not know what these people are thinking?

What's more, some time ago someone tried to break out of the harem and go to the front palace. The intentions of these people who stayed in the harem and refused to leave were obvious.

"What? Is our Emperor afraid?"

Yu Tingwan's teasing voice came from his ear, and Shen Chenli lowered his eyes and glared at her.

It's just to watch the fun and not mind the trouble!

"Aren't you afraid that I'll be dragged away by them?"

These words made Yu Tingwan happy. She looked up at him and laughed wantonly.

"What a joke! If someone else can take me away, then it has nothing to do with me!"

Of course, whether they are taken away or not, these people will inevitably have to pay a price.

Shen Chenli was speechless when he heard her words.

Oh, it looks like I have to do it myself!

While the two people were talking here, someone over there had already seen them and was coming over here in a twisting and turning manner.

But in a flash, the road they were going to take was already crowded with people coming this way, one next to the other, and one pushing another.

Yu Tingwan could also see that someone, in order to get to them first, stretched out his hand and pushed another person next to him into the flower bed!

This scene is comparable to a vegetable market!

Seeing the increasingly chaotic scene, Shen Chenli could no longer pretend to be dumb. He coughed lightly and said in a deep voice:

"What are you all doing?"

Seeing that he finally paid attention to them, they quickly stood up and bowed to him and greeted him.

"I, my concubine, meet the Emperor!"

Well, just ignore Yu Tingwan. Yu Tingwan shrugged and prepared to see what tricks these women have.

Shen Chenli glanced at these beautiful girls and frowned.

"My dear ladies, the late emperor is still in his own palace with no one to take care of him. Instead of thinking about how to serve him, you come to the imperial garden to recite poems and write couplets. Aren't you afraid that the late emperor will be mad at you if he finds out?"

With just this one sentence, the faces of all the ladies in the imperial garden changed instantly. Some turned pale, some flushed, some looked blue and white, and some did not care. This was the case with the first concubine who walked up to Shen Chenli.

Even after hearing Shen Chenli's words, she had no intention of retreating. Instead, she walked forward again with a smile on her face.

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Didn't you issue an imperial decree before? Aren't we sisters without children already free and no longer concubines in the harem? If that's the case, then those of us who are still in the harem are naturally your women, aren't we?"

After hearing these words, even Yu Tingwan was shocked. How thick-skinned could this person be to say such shameless words!

Is it necessary to do this for wealth and glory?

Besides, it’s not certain whether you can really be rich and prosperous, right?

Since she has never served Shen Haocang, she must be an unpopular person in the harem. This is enough to show how difficult life is in the harem.

This won’t dissuade these women from their thoughts?

Yu Tingwan really couldn't understand what was there to yearn for in the harem where one couldn't even leave!

However, even if Yu Tingwan cannot understand, this cannot stop the yearning in these people's hearts.

But some people did not give these people face and just felt extremely speechless.

"Those who can enter the palace are at least well-educated and well-mannered people, but now you all don't look like ladies from noble families at all. It's ridiculous! Come here!"

The guards hidden in the dark stepped forward and saluted Shen Chenli: "Your Highness!"

"Send someone to inform their families to send all the people in the harem out of the palace. If their families are unwilling to accept them, they will be betrothed to other families or sent to the temple."

"Yes! I obey my orders!"

With just a few words, all these people were sent away, and everyone looked at the heroic and extraordinary man in front of them in disbelief.

So, are they not good-looking? Or is it that the emperor is simply not interested in women?

The panicked crowd looked at Yu Tingwan who seemed to be watching the fun on the side. Could it be that the princess has been a widow for so many years?

But they didn't have time to think further as someone "invited" them to leave one by one!

In less than an incense stick of time, the entire imperial garden became quiet.

"Your Majesty is so lucky. How does it feel to be surrounded by beauties?"

Shen Chenli looked at Yu Tingwan, who looked like he was enjoying the show, and the corners of his lips trembled slightly. He seemed to want to say something, but was helpless.

"It's almost annoying!"

"Hahahaha!"

Hearing this, Yu Tingwan laughed out loud, patted his shoulder, and pulled him away with a helpless look.

"You seem to be quite self-aware. Not bad. Keep it up!"

The two men left the imperial garden, one with a helpless look on his face, the other with a playful look on their faces, and then came to the emperor's palace.

I saw that the place was already full of guards, who had surrounded the place tightly, not only ensuring that people from outside could not get in, but also that people inside could not get out.
