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

Shen Jingyi took the letter and asked doubtfully, "Did the person who delivered the letter say anything?"

Qiu Kui Yaoyao shook her head, "No, that person didn't say anything."

Shen Jingyi took the letter to the study, sat down and gently tore open the envelope.

This letter was written by Shen Chenxi. She unfolded the letter and read it carefully.

The previous content is mostly irrelevant words, and the key information is only mentioned later.

It turned out that Lin Xixia's niece had come home, and they actually did all the things she had joked about before.

But he reaped the consequences.

Now, she has become Shen Chenhui's concubine.

Her father already knew everything that had happened before and hoped that she could take time to come home because he planned to deal with Lin Xixia.

After Shen Jingyi finished reading the letter, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

She murmured softly, "I didn't expect that she would be offline so soon? I wonder how the prince's investigation is going."

Then, she turned to Qiu Kui and said, "Qiu Kui, go to the outer courtyard and wait for the prince to come back, and tell me immediately."

"Yes," Qiu Kui responded, turned around and walked out of the room quickly.

Shen Jingyi took Xia Zhu and Dongmei to see the boxes that had not been sorted out yesterday.

When he got closer, Xia Zhu opened all the boxes.

Shen Jingyi came to a box, slowly squatted down, carefully stretched out her hand, and gently picked up a small and exquisite wooden horse.

This wooden horse is exquisitely made, with a paint surface as smooth as a mirror and the carvings on it are detailed and lifelike.

Although it is not valuable, its beauty is hard to ignore.

A hint of fondness flashed across Shen Jingyi's eyes, and she said softly, "Put this on the shelf of the Duobao Pavilion outside."

After saying that, she took out a set of very small teapots from the box. The bodies of the teapots were round and cute, and the spouts and handles were finely carved, making them look very elegant.

She handed the small teapot to Ling'er and continued, "Put this one up there too."

Then, she lowered her head again and searched carefully in the box, and finally found those small and exquisite gourds.

These gourds have different shapes, some are slender, some are round, and there are exquisite patterns carved on the surface.

Shen Jingyi nodded with satisfaction and said to Dongmei, "Put these in the study for me."

Then, as if she remembered something, she added, "And there's that string of wind chimes hanging by the window in the study."

Before she finished her words, Dongxue hurried to another box and took out the wind chimes.

Shen Jingyi carefully checked the items placed around, and after confirming that they were correct, she smiled and said to everyone: "Okay, put away the others first. These things can be used as toys for the baby in the future."

Then, she pointed to another box in the cage and ordered, "Take out those scrolls and put them on the table."

As soon as Shen Jingyi finished speaking, Xia Zhu stepped forward and carefully took out the scrolls.

Shen Jingyi gently opened the scroll and looked at each painting carefully.

Xia Zhu, Dong Mei, Dong Xue, Cui Er and Ling Er also came over curiously and stared at the painting.

"Wow, this is a painting of a concubine, it's so lifelike and beautiful." Dongmei couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Yes! It's just like a real person." Dongxue also agreed.

Shen Jingyi smiled slightly and said proudly: "Right! I think so too. These were all drawn when we were on the boat."

She opened the scrolls one by one, and each one caused them to exclaim in amazement.

Shen Jingyi's heart was filled with pride and a little complacency.

She picked out her three favorite paintings, handed them to Xia Zhu, and said with a smile, "Take these three and frame them. I'm going to hang them up."

"Yes, I will find someone to frame it right away. I guarantee you will be satisfied." Xia Zhu smiled, carefully took the scroll, and left in a hurry.

After Xia Zhu left, Shen Jingyi instructed: "Please put the remaining scrolls back to the study for me, and put the remaining boxes and cages in the warehouse."

"Yes," everyone took action and began to register, organize, lock and put into storage.

Shen Jingyi suddenly remembered that there was a box in her room!

So, I went back to my room alone.

The box was locked, and inside it were the paintings and silver bills that King Xuan had given her when he was in Cangzhou, as well as the jewelry she had bought in Xigu Town.

Shen Jingyi took out the key, opened the box, and carried the boxes inside to the bed.

She opened each box and looked at it again, then put the white jade bracelet on her wrist and admired it with love.

Then she locked the ruby ​​jewelry into the jewelry box. This was for the queen.

The fish hairpin was also gently placed in the jewelry box, ready to be worn tomorrow.

Finally, she locked the banknote and the precious painting in the bedside table.

After completing this, she walked out of the room with peace of mind.

When she came outside, she found that all the boxes had been moved away.

Then she walked towards the study again. As soon as she reached the door, she heard Cui'er's voice coming from inside.

"Sister Dongmei, do you think these gourds have any special meaning?"

Dongmei rolled her eyes. "What's the point of this? They just look good. Don't you see they are beautiful?"

However, Cui Er seemed unwilling to give up and continued, "But I've heard people say that gourds have symbolic meanings."

Shen Jingyi suddenly had an idea, a sly look flashed in his eyes, and he walked into the study and said, "This represents good luck, many children and good fortune."

When the two heard the voice, they immediately turned around and bowed respectfully, saying, "Concubine."

Shen Jingyi nodded slightly and motioned for them to stand up.

Then he continued, "We bought this gourd when we were in Cangzhou. The people there said that if you gather five gourds like this, it will bring good luck!"

Cui Er said in surprise: "Really? I've never heard of this before, but it's not easy to find such a gourd in the capital!"

Shen Jingyi smiled and nodded, "Yes! What a coincidence, I found out I was pregnant after I bought this gourd.

I think this gourd might really be magical!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he covered his mouth and made an expression as if he had accidentally let the cat out of the bag.

Then he quickly added: "Only you two know about this, and I told you because I trust you.

So you must not let this out, understand?"

The two of them nodded and promised: "Don't worry, Concubine, we will never tell anyone."

Shen Jingyi nodded with satisfaction and said, "You are all my trusted people, so I naturally trust you."

After saying that, she walked to the window and gently shook the wind chimes. Suddenly, a clear and pleasant sound rang out, as if telling something.

At this time, Shen Jingyi's voice sounded again: "Okay, Cui'er, you can leave first. Dongmei, come and help me grind the ink. I want to write."

"Yes." Cui'er replied respectfully. She knew that the concubine usually liked quietness when reading or writing, so she turned and left.

Shen Jingyi stood quietly by the window, watching Cui'er's figure gradually go away until it completely disappeared.

After making sure Cui'er had left, Shen Jingyi said to Dongmei, "Dongmei, send someone to follow quietly."

"But, Concubine, what you just said..." Dongmei asked with some confusion.

“I said that to her on purpose.

Doesn't she want a special and meaningful gift? Then I will fulfill her wish.

In fact, those gourds were just ordinary things I bought on the roadside for a few taels of silver. "

The corners of Shen Jingyi's mouth rose slightly, and a faint light flashed in his eyes.

Suddenly, Chunliu jumped out from the corridor and said excitedly: "Concubine, do you want to follow that little maid just now? I can go!"

Shen Jingyi looked at Chunliu in surprise, "Why did you come back so soon? Didn't I give you five days off?"

Chun Liu scratched her head and answered a little embarrassedly: "Well... I really have nowhere to go. After thinking about it, I decided to come back to accompany the concubine."

Shen Jingyi smiled helplessly, "Well then! In that case, you go and keep an eye on her for me to see who she is secretly in contact with and whether anyone in the mansion has gone out to buy gourds."

"As you command! I will do it right away."

Chunliu happily agreed and quickly left the room.
