"It's fun, right? Does the Queen Mother like it too?" Yan Li blinked her big eyes and looked at the Queen Mother.

"I like it." The Queen Mother nodded.

"Then give these to the Queen Mother." Yan Li piled the medicine powder she had taken out in front of the Queen Mother.

"Li'er is such a considerate and kind child." The Queen Mother touched Yan Li's head happily.

"Someone, go and call all the concubines who have been favored recently to come to me." The Queen Mother ordered.

"Yes, sir." The eunuch beside him took the order and left.

"Grandma Queen Mother, why did you ask those concubines to come here?" Yan Li looked at the Queen Mother. It couldn't be what she thought.

"Experimental powder." The Queen Mother's eyes were full of excitement.

Yan Li: ...

Queen Mother, why did you use concubines, and favored concubines at that, to test the medicinal powder?

"Are you planning to build a zoo for the Emperor, Queen Mother?" Yan Li raised her head and looked at the Queen Mother.

"Puchi... Li'er is so smart. Your queen mother is very considerate. She knows that the emperor is too tired from dealing with government affairs, so she gave him a zoo to relieve his boredom." The queen mother looked at Yan Li with a smile.

Yan Li: ...

The emperor would probably collapse when he arrived at the harem and found the sounds of animals everywhere.

"That's right, Empress Dowager, the Emperor will definitely be grateful to you." Yan Li nodded while holding back a smile.

War King: ...

The emperor will indeed be very grateful to you. He will probably be so grateful that he will lock himself in his bedroom and cry bitterly.

King Xiao: ...

Well, since it was the Queen Mother who wanted to play, there was nothing I could do. I could only light a candle and observe a second of silence for my father.

Soon, the emperor's favorite concubines all arrived. When they heard the empress dowager summoning them, they did not dare to delay at all. They packed up and rushed over.

When they came in and saw King Zhan, King Xiao and Yan Li, they were all stunned for a moment.

"Greetings to the Queen Mother." The concubines bowed respectfully to the Queen Mother.

Yan Li looked at the beautiful girls in front of her and felt that the emperor was really too much for destroying so many beauties.

"Stand in a row," the Queen Mother said to them.

Upon hearing this, the concubines looked at each other in confusion.

But this was the Queen Mother's order, so they stood in a row obediently.

After a gust of wind, the concubines stood there with puzzled looks on their faces.

"Please sit down." The Queen Mother looked at them, a gleam of light in her eyes.

The concubines were about to open their mouths in response, but what they heard was the cries of various animals.

They quickly covered their mouths in fear!

"Success." The Queen Mother looked at the concubines with excitement.

Hearing what the Queen Mother said, the concubines were so frightened that they looked at her with tears in their beautiful eyes.

They really wanted to ask the Queen Mother what they had done wrong and why she treated them like this.

But they dared not make any sound, for fear of making animal noises again.

"Don't worry, I'm just testing something. You will return to normal in three days." The Queen Mother looked at them.

The concubines breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that they would return to normal in three days.

But how should I spend these three days?

You have to know that in this bloody harem, if you don’t fight for favor in just one day, you may completely fall out of favor!

What’s more, it’s three days!

So the concubines began to worry!

"You can go back." The Queen Mother waved to the concubines.

Upon hearing this, the concubines paid their respects to the Queen Mother and then almost fled.

Looking at the concubines' departing backs, Yan Li suddenly felt a little sympathy for them.

This can be regarded as an unexpected disaster for them.

"Li'er, do you think the Queen Mother has gone too far?" The Queen Mother looked at Yan Li.

"You must have your reasons for doing this, Queen Mother." Yan Li knew that a person like the Queen Mother, who could conquer half of the country, would not make fun of the concubines for no reason.

"Li'er is smart. Recently, these concubines have been competing for favor, causing unrest in the harem. This can be considered a warning to them." The Queen Mother touched Yan Li's little head.

Yan Li finally understood why the Queen Mother chose these favored concubines.

It is said that the concubines had just passed by the imperial garden and were preparing to return to their own palace.

At this time, the emperor happened to be walking this way.

The concubines ran into the emperor head-on and immediately saluted.

But when they get anxious and open their mouths, they start making the sounds of various animals.

emperor:……

What the hell is going on?

I just made fun of General Gongsun Hong's house turning into a doghouse, how come my harem turned into a zoo in the blink of an eye?

"What's going on?" The emperor looked at the concubines coldly.

The concubines didn't dare to speak any more, but tears fell from their beautiful eyes, looking so pitiful.

"Tell me, what's going on?" The emperor randomly pointed to a palace maid next to a concubine.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what happened. The ladies became like this when they came out of the Empress Dowager's palace." The palace maid knelt down hurriedly.

"The Empress Dowager's bedroom? Could it be that girl Yan Li has come?" The emperor looked depressed when he heard this.

He thought about it and decided that he had not done anything to offend the little girl.

Why did she bring trouble to her own harem?

"Oh... I remember now. I actually forgot about the 10 million gold coins. This little girl, this little girl." The emperor suddenly remembered that he had not sent anyone to deliver the 10 million gold coins to Yan Li.

"Let's go to the Empress Dowager's bedroom." After the emperor said this, he went towards the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

Upon seeing this, the concubines all returned to their own residences. They had already decided to stay indoors for three days and wait until things returned to normal before coming out again.

When the emperor arrived, Yan Li was holding a plate of snacks, eating and chatting happily with the empress dowager.

Seeing the emperor come in, Prince Zhan and Prince Xiao hurriedly saluted.

"It came really quickly." Yan Li couldn't help but complain.

"Emperor, is there something wrong?" The Queen Mother asked knowingly.

"Mother, my harem has turned into a zoo." The emperor looked at the empress dowager.

He just didn't believe that the Queen Mother didn't know about this. It was possible that the Queen Mother condoned it or even helped.

The emperor could never have imagined that this zoo was built by the empress dowager herself.

"Grandma Empress Dowager, I thought the Emperor would be very grateful. Look, he can't wait to come over and thank you." Yan Li raised her head and looked at the Empress Dowager.

emperor:……

What does Yan Li mean by this?

"Girl Yan Li, why do you want to bring disaster to my harem?" The emperor looked at Yan Li.

"Grandma Empress Dowager, the Emperor said that you are causing trouble for his harem." Yan Li did not answer the Emperor but looked at the Empress Dowager.

"Emperor, I was responsible for the things that happened to your concubines. They have been competing for your favor lately, causing unrest in the harem. It's time for you to be alert." The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor.

emperor:……

Even if you want to warn them, don't turn your harem into a zoo!

"Emperor, are you unhappy with what I did?" The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor.

"No, mother, they are my concubines after all. Why do they sound like animals when they speak?" The emperor's eyes went from being filled with anger to being filled with aggrieved.
