Ah, you traveled through time too?

Chapter 241 Winning over

Lian Di followed Dong Xia into the imperial study, still feeling a little nervous. She knew that Concubine Chun would not let her go easily, and she had to stay alert at all times.

In the imperial study, Li Yong was reviewing memorials at his desk. When he saw Lian Di coming in, he raised his head, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. Lian Di saluted and said, "Your Majesty, I am here."

Li Yong nodded slightly: "Lian Di, sit down quickly."

Lian Di sat down under Li Yong's guidance, still feeling a little uneasy. Li Yong put down the memorial in his hand, took a deep breath, and said, "Lian Di, I know you have been worrying a lot about the affairs of the palace recently. Thank you for your hard work."

Lian Di smiled slightly and said softly, "Your Majesty, I am just doing my best and hope to share your worries."

Li Yong looked at Lian Di, with a hint of admiration in his eyes: "Lian Di, I have seen all your efforts. The affairs of the harem are complicated, and I know you have been doing your best."

Lian Di nodded: "Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty. I will continue to work hard."

At the same time, Concubine Chun was in her own bedroom, her mind was full of calculations. She knew that the little princess was the emperor's darling, and if she could use the little princess to strengthen her position in the palace, then her power would be more stable.

Concubine Chun looked at the teacup in her hand coldly, with a hint of coldness in her eyes. She called her trusted maid Xiaoju and whispered, "Xiaoju, go and find out what the little princess is doing and see if she has any special needs recently."

Xiaoju nodded: "Yes, my lady, I will do it right away."

After a while, Xiaoju came back and reported: "My queen, the little princess has been very interested in some novel toys recently, especially those exquisite little ornaments."

After hearing this, Concubine Chun's eyes flashed with pride: "Very good, go prepare some exquisite small ornaments for the little princess, and remember to tell her that I picked them specially for her."

Xiaoju quickly responded, "Yes, Madam, I'll get ready right away."

Concubine Chun knew that pleasing the little princess was the key to winning the emperor's favor. As long as the little princess was happy, the emperor would naturally favor her more. She already had a bigger plan in mind. She wanted to use the little princess's preferences to gradually strengthen her position in the palace.

A few days later, Concubine Chun personally brought the small ornaments she had prepared to visit the little princess. She walked into the little princess's bedroom with a smile on her face, and saw the little princess playing, so she said gently: "Little princess, look what your aunt brought you."

When the little princess saw Concubine Chun, she ran over happily and said, "Auntie Chun, what good things did you bring?"

Concubine Chun smiled and handed the small ornament to the little princess: "This is what Auntie picked specially for you, I hope you like it."

When the little princess saw those exquisite little ornaments, a hint of excitement flashed in her eyes: "Wow, these are so beautiful, thank you Auntie Concubine Chun!"

Concubine Chun smiled and stroked the little princess' hair: "As long as you like it, auntie will be happy."

Soon, Emperor Li Yong heard that Concubine Chun had come to visit the little princess with gifts, and he appreciated Concubine Chun's concern. He knew that the little princess was his favorite, and Concubine Chun's actions made him feel relieved.

Li Yong specially summoned Concubine Chun and expressed his gratitude to her: "Concubine Chun, I am very happy that you care about the little princess. Please take good care of her in the future. I will remember your kindness."

After hearing this, Concubine Chun felt very proud and quickly bowed and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. I am just doing my duty and hope that the little princess will be happy."

Li Yong nodded, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "You have done a good job. I will continue to pay attention to your efforts."

At the same time, other concubines in the harem were also secretly observing Concubine Chun's actions. They knew that Concubine Chun had used the little princess to win the emperor's favor, and they also had to find a way to gain a foothold in the palace.

Concubine Xian discussed countermeasures with several concubines. She whispered, "Concubine Chun has been so concerned about the little princess recently. We can't take it lightly. We must find her weakness to be invincible in the palace."

Several concubines nodded, with a hint of coldness in their eyes: "Empress Xian is right, we must unite and fight against Concubine Chun together."

Concubine Xian smiled slightly and said, "Yes, we must work together and not let Concubine Chun be the only one favored."

A few days later, Concubine Xian specially arranged a palace banquet and invited the concubines in the harem to attend. She hoped that through this banquet, she could win more supporters and fight against Concubine Chun together.

At the palace banquet, the concubines dressed up and exchanged pleasantries with each other, but everyone had their own calculations in mind. Concubine Xian smiled and walked to Lian Di, whispering: "Sister Lian Di, this palace banquet is to strengthen the relationship between us, I hope you can participate more."

Lian Di smiled slightly: "Sister Xianfei is right, I will do my best to cooperate."

Xianfei nodded, with a glimmer of appreciation in her eyes: "Sister Liandi, your status in the emperor's heart has been getting higher and higher recently. We must work together to gain a foothold in the palace."

After hearing this, Lian Di felt warm in her heart. She knew that Concubine Xian was a trustworthy ally, and she had to work harder to survive in this complicated harem.

At the palace banquet, Concubine Chun watched the concubines greet each other and sneered in her heart. She knew that these people were polite on the surface, but they had their own calculations behind the scenes. She was confident in her current position, but she also knew that she had to remain vigilant at all times to consolidate her power.

After the banquet, the concubines returned to the palace, each with their own plans in mind. After returning to the bedroom, Concubine Chun called her trusted maid Xiaoju and whispered, "Xiaoju, go find out what Concubine Xian has been up to recently. I want to know what she has been doing behind my back."

Xiaoju nodded quickly: "Yes, Madam, I will do it right away."

After a while, Xiaoju came back and reported: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xian has been in frequent contact with Lian Di recently. It seems that they are plotting something."

After hearing this, Concubine Chun's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness: "Concubine Xian and Concubine Lian? It seems that they are forming an alliance to fight against me. Well, I want to see what tricks they can play."

In the following days, Concubine Chun tightened her control over the harem, using her power and means to further consolidate her position. Concubine Xian and Lian Di also secretly planned and tried to find a way to fight against Concubine Chun.
