Traveling through time and space to become a concubine: I just want to live a leisurely life

Su Wan no longer has the desire to compete for favor.

Now she just hopes that her child will be well and not suffer any injustice.

What I said to Liu Ruoxue just now was just a momentary emotion.

So, now I heard from the princess that the family dinner has been prepared and asked everyone to move to the main courtyard.

She just said she was not feeling well and went back.

She also persuaded Xiao Zimo, who had expressed his willingness to go back with her to take care of her, to return to the banquet.

What's the point of following his demoted mother instead of his father?

The hall was brightly lit, with warm yellow lights illuminating every corner.

When everyone arrived at the hall, they saw a long table inside. The table was filled with exquisite dishes, which were fragrant and mouth-watering.

Chu Mengyao explained with a smile: "I thought that since there aren't many people in our house, it would be more lively if we sit together like this."

King Xuan nodded, obviously very satisfied, and said, "You are thoughtful."

Then he sat at the top.

After King Xuan sat down, others followed suit.

Chu Mengyao sat next to him.

The three children sat on the left side of King Xuan, and Shen Jingyi and two concubines sat on the right side.

The two concubines sat opposite King Xuan, at the end.

Everyone started to eat. King Xuan looked at the bowl of shrimp, lotus root and egg custard in front of him and had it brought to Shen Jingyi.

Shen Jingyi smiled back, "Chun Tao, bring this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall to the prince. The prince has been working hard recently and needs to be replenished."

Chuntao agreed with a smile.

Chu Mengyao felt a little sore in her eyes when she saw this scene.

As a result, just as the dishes were taken away, Liu Ruoxue's voice rang out.

"Sister Shen is so partial. My little sister just wanted to eat it, but you took it away."

Everyone was already feeling jealous of Shen Jingyi and King Xuan's actions!

The atmosphere changed again. Was Concubine Liu going to compete with the prince for food?

Shen Jingyi was calm and said with a smile: "Oh, I forgot about you. Chuntao, hurry up and serve a bowl for Concubine Liu."

Liu Ruoxue laughed generously, "Puchi, sister, I'm just joking! Don't take it seriously! But I will still accept your dishes."

Shen Jingyi didn't mind because she saw no malice in Liu Ruoxue.

So, he jokingly asked, "Is there anything else you want to eat? I'll pick it all up for you. Don't accuse me of being partial later!"

Liu Ruoxue didn't act pretentiously and replied with a smile: "Okay! Then I also want to eat the squirrel mandarin fish, and I also like the cold-mixed eggplant shreds."

Shen Jingyi laughed after hearing this, "I didn't expect that we have the same taste!"

Chu Mengyao also ordered at this time: "Bring these two dishes between the two of them. Pregnant women like to eat this kind of sour food."

The maid who was serving food nearby responded with a smile.

King Xuan also said, "Bring down this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall as well, and give everyone a bowl!"

Hong Yin responded with a smile and immediately brought it down.

She knew what King Xuan meant. Since everyone wanted to eat, then everyone should have a bowl. This way it wouldn't seem like he was favoring anyone too much.

At this time, Tang Yurou also smiled and said, "As the saying goes, sour boys and spicy girls, in my opinion, they may both be pregnant with boys!"

Shen Jingyi touched her belly gently, with a loving look on her face.

"Both men and women are fine. I like them all."

Liu Ruoxue at the side also said: "Yes! As long as you are healthy."

The two looked at each other and smiled. It was not until tonight that they realized that they actually had many similarities.

The atmosphere was great tonight and everyone enjoyed their meal.

After dinner, everyone dispersed.

After all, King Xuan and Shen Jingyi had been traveling for nearly a month and they were very tired.

King Xuan stayed in the main courtyard to wash up. Shen Jingyi suppressed the bitterness in her heart and returned to her Youlan Courtyard.

Everyone in her courtyard was looking forward to it.

Until the lanterns in the distance got closer and closer, a hint of excitement flashed in Dongmei's eyes.

She almost jumped up from the chair and said loudly, "She's back. The concubine is back."

Her voice was full of excitement, and everyone present was infected by her mood.

Everyone stood up and followed Dongmei's footsteps to greet Shen Jingyi.

When Shen Jingyi appeared at the door, Chuntao was supporting her carefully.

She had a gentle smile on her face, and although her body was a little heavy, her eyes were full of laughter.

"Greetings, concubine." Dongmei and Xiazhu led everyone in bowing, their voices full of respect and joy.

Shen Jingyi looked at everyone's excited smiles and said with a smile: "No need to be polite, get up, it's cold at night, let's go in."

Her words revealed her concern for the maids.

Everyone stood up and surrounded Shen Jingyi as they walked into the house.

The soft light inside the house shines on everyone's face, making the courtyard look even more cozy.

The maids sat around Shen Jingyi, looking at her belly curiously.

Xia Zhu asked first: "Concubine, how many months has the young master been alive?" Her voice was full of anticipation.

"More than six months." Shen Jingyi replied with a smile. Her hand gently stroked her belly, feeling the little life moving in her belly.

Dongmei said excitedly after hearing this: "Then we should hurry up and sew clothes for the young master."

She was already imagining how cute and dainty the tiny little dresses would be.

"Concubine, the boxes, clothes, books and servants you brought back have been arranged;

I just don't know where to put some things?" Qiu Kui also said.

Shen Jingyi thought about her things and replied, "Then I'll take a look tomorrow and tell you."

Then she looked at Xia Zhu and asked, "Did anything happen in the mansion during the time I was away?"

Xia Zhu replied, "Except for Concubine Liu's pregnancy and the fact that the little princess often goes to the palace to accompany the queen, everything else is very peaceful."

"Dongmei, Xiazhu, you have worked hard during this period." Shen Jingyi said gently.

After hearing this, Xia Zhu hurriedly said, "Concubine, we have nothing to do at home, how can it be hard? It is you who are hardworking."

Shen Jingyi smiled and said, "Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow! I want to rest tonight.

Mammy, Chuntao, Qiuju, you are tired too, go down and have a rest, Xiazhu and Dongmei will be the ones to serve you.

"Yes," everyone bowed and left.

Even after they had walked a long distance away, Shen Jingyi could still hear their laughter and questions.

Shen Jingyi stood up and stretched for a while, then ordered, "Dongmei, come and help me prepare the bath water."

"Yes, concubine." Dongmei responded and quickly prepared hot water.

With the help of the two, Shen Jingyi slowly took off her clothes, revealing her round belly.

She stepped carefully into the tub, the warm water surrounding her making her feel extremely comfortable.

After taking a shower, Shen Jingyi changed into soft pajamas, sat in front of the dressing table, and asked Xia Zhu and Dongmei to help her wipe her hair.

At this time, Xia Zhucai said without stopping the movement of her hands, "Concubine, I found that Zheng Xiaozhu's people often contact Cui'er in our courtyard."
