Simultaneous Transmigration: Freedom Across the Heavens

The moment Bai Li stepped into the palace gate, he sensed two special magnetic fields, one deep and unfathomable, the other free and easy, undoubtedly Emperor Qing and Ye Liuyun.

After tonight, Bai Xiangli could no longer keep a low profile, so he simply wore his arrogant and domineering nature on his face to prevent all sorts of people from getting close to him in the future.

In this world, whether you are a good person or a bad person, as long as you have power, you will have many followers.

Only a madman can inspire fear and prevent people from acting rashly.

In the Imperial Study, a thousand shimmering fish darted about in the pond.

Emperor Qing dismissed the eunuchs, his gaze fixed on the koi in the pond, showing neither joy nor anger. "Bai Li went straight to Guangxin Palace, and before leaving, he loudly proclaimed it at the palace gate."

"He knew I was in the palace."

Ye Liuyun emerged from behind the bookshelf. "Grandmasters each possess unique skills; it's not surprising that he could sense me."

Did he also realize it? Emperor Qing's eyes were deep as he murmured, "The arrow is on the string, and it must be released."

On the other side, Bai Li walked and stopped, admiring the scenery of the palace garden. He wanted to take in as much as he could while he could, because if it was damaged, it would be difficult to see it again.

"Halt! Who are you, daring to trespass into the inner palace!"

When the Imperial Guard Commander Gong Dian saw Bai Li, he waved his hand, and more than a hundred Imperial Guards behind him stepped forward with their blades and surrounded him.

Bai Li remained calm and said, "I have important matters to discuss with Her Highness the Eldest Princess."

"The inner palace is a forbidden area; you can't just walk in as you please. Whose son are you? Didn't your elders teach you that?"

Seeing that Bai Li was young, Gong Dian assumed that he was a descendant of some noble family who had been brought by his elders to broaden his horizons.

clang!

Bai Li smiled without saying a word. Sensing someone approaching from his magnetic field, he didn't bother to say anything more and flicked the blade in front of him with his finger.

"You...how dare you!"

Gong Dian was furious when he saw that Gong Dian didn't take them seriously at all. In this palace, apart from His Majesty, even the Crown Prince would treat him with respect. This man was simply extremely arrogant.

Gong Dian drew his long sword. "Take him down."

"Wait a minute!"

With a long shout, Eunuch Hou came running up, panting. Before he could catch his breath, he hurriedly said, "It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding."

"Commander Gong, this is Young Master Bai, His Majesty's distinguished guest. He must not be neglected."

After saying this, Eunuch Hou turned his head, put on a fawning smile, and said, "Young Master Bai, this is your first time entering the palace. The palace commander really doesn't recognize you. He has been very rude."

"Don't blame me if you don't know."

Bai Li waved her hand, "Can I go now?"

"Of course, of course, please..." Eunuch Hou bowed and led the way for him.

After Bai Li left, Gong Dian approached Eunuch Hou and asked in a low voice, "Eunuch Hou, who is that Young Master Bai?"

He had served in the palace for many years and this was the first time he had ever seen anyone so arrogant.

"They're people we can't afford to mess with."

Eunuch Hou responded calmly, glancing at Gong Dian, and said, "Commander Gong, you almost ruined His Majesty's grand plan."

Having said that, Eunuch Hou ignored him and returned to the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests. There were many things to do at the banquet tonight.

"Ah, this..." Gong Dian touched his forehead, suddenly realized what had happened, and broke out in a cold sweat. He ordered the Imperial Guards to guard their posts and hurriedly ran to apologize to Emperor Qing.

Bai Li walked to the entrance of Guangxin Palace and shouted loudly, "Your Highness, I've come to see you."

Inside the hall, Li Yunrui was dressing up when she heard his voice. She almost bent the gold hairpin in her hand. She quickly ordered her personal maid, "Go and bring Young Master Bai in."

"Yes, Your Highness."

A moment later, the female official led Bai Li into the hall. Li Yunrui glared at him and scolded, "Are you crazy? Why did you come directly to me?"

Bai Li shrugged. "I told you right at the palace gate that I was coming to see you, and now the whole palace probably knows."

"You...hehehe..." People really do laugh when they're speechless.

Li Yunrui was both anxious and angry, but after the anger subsided, a strange warmth welled up in his heart. Well, this is for the best. Having a grandmaster behind him is not such a bad thing.

"You stay where you are and don't come any closer."

Fearing that Bai Li might do something wrong again, Li Yunrui quickly instructed him that the banquet was about to begin and he mustn't be allowed to act recklessly.

Bai Li casually leaned against the carpet in the palace, looking at her attire today: black and gold clothes, and a red gold and jade hairpin, showing the elegance and nobility of a royal noblewoman.

"Your Highness looks very well today. Is there some good news?"

Holding a mirror, Li Yunrui carefully tidied her hair and said, "Of course there's good news."

"Is it for my good brother?" Bai Li blurted out.

How did you know?

Li Yunrui stiffened, then her expression softened with a hint of sorrow, "You... want to interfere again?"

"I'm not his nanny."

Li Yunrui asked, puzzled, "What's a nanny?"

"It's nothing."

Bai Li turned to the side, rested his head on one hand, and said, "How about we make a bet?"

Li Yunrui put down the mirror and asked, "What are we betting on?"

"I bet you that I will not interfere with any of your plans for tonight's banquet. I bet Fan Xian can handle it himself."

Li Yunrui scoffed, "Why should I gamble with you?"

"If you win, I'll grant you one request, as long as I can do it."

Li Yunrui's eyes lit up. A favor from a Grandmaster was priceless, so he immediately agreed, "Okay, I'll take the bet."

Bai Li chuckled: "So quick to agree? Aren't you afraid of losing?"

"Heh, there's no way I could lose." Li Yunrui thought about his plan. With a literary master personally taking action, he didn't know how he could possibly lose!

"Alright, since you're so confident, don't try to renege on your promise if you lose."

Li Yunrui hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking, "If I lose, what do you want me to do?"

Bai Li beckoned to her with his finger, "Come here and talk!"

"Then you're not allowed to shock me."

"I promise," Bai Li said, raising his right hand.

Li Yunrui was half-believing and half-doubting, but she walked over awkwardly and sat down next to him.

Bai Li leaned close to her ear and whispered in a very low voice, "...Is that so!"

Li Yunrui's eyes widened, her ears instantly turning bright red, even her fair neck flushed crimson. She covered her mouth with her hands, "You...you...how could you let me..."

She couldn't bring herself to say it, so she couldn't help but reach out and punch him, saying, "You're such a bastard."

At 2:45 PM, the bell outside the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests rang.

Li Yunrui and Bai Li stepped into the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests side by side.

Bai Li's gaze swept across the hall, completely ignoring the stares directed at him. He walked directly to the table to the left of Emperor Qing and sat down casually.

Since the guest is a guest, of course he should sit on the left, not because Li Yunrui is next to him.

Li Yunrui glanced at him discreetly and then sat down to his left.

Whispers immediately broke out inside the hall.

Guo Baokun was indignant. Who was that person? He looked younger than him. Why was he sitting in the first seat on the left? It was simply outrageous.

He was about to stand up and show his outspokenness when his father, Guo Youzhi, held him back tightly.

"father..."

"Shut up!" Guo Youzhi was exhausted. Didn't he see that even the eldest princess hadn't asked about it?

Before long, Crown Prince Li Chengqian and Second Prince Li Chengze arrived together, stepped forward and greeted, "Aunt, Young Master Bai."

Li Yunrui nodded slightly.

Li Chengqian's gaze swept over Bai Li, a murderous intent hidden deep within his heart. This was the man who had stolen his aunt...

Even with his eyes closed, Bai Li could sense the hostility in his eyes. He was just a dying man; she couldn't be bothered to argue with him.

Fan Xian then stepped forward and said, "Greetings, Princess."

Li Yunrui's eyes gleamed with smugness as she said meaningfully, "Talented Fan, as long as you swear allegiance to me, I will agree to Wan'er's marriage to you, and I will also hand over control of the Imperial Treasury to you, as well as many other things you desire."

Fan Xian calmly replied, "What if I wanted you to get out of the capital?"

Li Yunrui chuckled lightly: "Heh, what a grand ambition, we must give it a try."

Fan Xian smiled, cupped his hands in a salute, and said, "Your subject will certainly live up to the Princess's high expectations."

After Fan Xian left, Li Yunrui turned slightly to Bai Li and whispered, "Did you hear that? Your good brother wants to kick me out of the capital!"

Bai Li remained calm and composed. "Isn't that great? You can live permanently at the Ginkgo Villa and enjoy it every day..."

"Shut up!" Li Yunrui glared at him, embarrassed and annoyed, and quickly stopped him from talking nonsense. This scoundrel, doesn't he know the occasion?

As the two struggled, Zhuang Mohan, holding a scroll, staggered into the main hall. All the civil and military officials, princes and nobles present rose to pay their respects to him.

Given Zhuang Mohan's literary standing, which transcends national boundaries, he commands the respect of everyone.

Bai Li nodded slightly in acknowledgment. This person had only himself to blame. Life expectancy is short, and since he was willing to get involved in these trivial matters, he had to bear the consequences.
