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

Shen Jingyi sat upright in the carriage, staring at the man opposite her.

He has clear contours, sharp edges and corners, and his handsome face exudes charming charm, but at the same time reveals a hint of stubbornness and awkwardness.

She knew that he came to pick her up on purpose, to support her and to save the situation.

Although she didn't know where this good impression came from, she still appreciated it.

How wonderful it would be if he could always take care of himself like this!

Shen Jingyi smiled.

Then she shook her head and put aside the unnecessary thoughts.

This man does not belong to you alone. It is enough to have him. Don't think too much about other things. Only by guarding your heart can you live a good life.

"What are you thinking about? You are grinning and frowning at the same time." King Xuan asked puzzledly.

Shen Jingyi blinked, "Nothing, just a random thought."

Then he asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, have you had lunch yet?"

"Not yet. Aren't you here to pick up this heartless guy? Do you just remember it now?" King Xuan said jokingly.

Shen Jingyi listened to the noise outside, and an idea came to her mind. She smiled slyly and said, "How about I treat His Majesty to a meal?"

"Oh? Okay, what would you like to treat me to? " King Xuan looked at her with interest.

"Uh... well, I heard that Zui Xiang Lou's Eight Treasure Duck, Crispy Chicken, and Braised Beef are extremely delicious. How about we go there?"

As Shen Jingyi spoke, he secretly swallowed his saliva.

These dishes were what Shen Chenxi said she would bring to her when she got better when she first came here.

However, her health was not good and she recovered slowly. When she finally recovered, the imperial decree came to promote her to concubine. Now she was locked in the mansion to embroider her dowry and was not allowed to go out.

Speaking of embroidering the dowry is really sad. Although the original owner's embroidery ideas were very good, she didn't know how to do it. In the end, she embroidered it based on her memory and practiced it for a long time. Her hands were pierced by many needle holes.

When the servants saw her secretly burning her embroidery, they thought she was against the marriage. They were very worried and came to persuade her secretly. They were not relieved until they saw her embroidering with their own eyes.

"You can still eat it?"

The corner of King Xuan's mouth slightly raised, and a teasing voice came out, which seemed to be a smile.

"I came here to accompany the prince."

She would never admit that she wanted to eat it.

King Xuan looked at her greedy look and wanted to tease her, so he said, "But I don't really want to eat these."

Shen Jingyi's expression froze when she heard this: "Haha, it's okay. What do you want to eat, Your Majesty? I'm not sure about the rest.

Otherwise, just take me over to get whatever you want to eat."

King Xuan pretended to think for a moment, but in fact his eyes never left Shen Jingyi;

Then he sighed helplessly and said, "Oh, I really can't remember, so let's go to Zui Xiang Lou!"

When Shen Jingyi heard that they were still going to Zui Xiang Lou, she knew she had been fooled, but it didn’t matter as long as she had something to eat. She was just that generous.

So Shen Jingyi happily replied: "Okay, then Your Majesty, do you know what delicious food they have at home?"

King Xuan reached out and gently touched Shen Jingyi's forehead, saying lovingly, "You are so happy, everything is on your face."

Shen Jingyi blinked and asked playfully, "Isn't this good?"

King Xuan smiled slightly, stroked her hair, and said softly: "Very good, it would be better if you could always be like this in front of me."

Shen Jingyi stood up and sat next to King Xuan, resting her head on his shoulder, and said solemnly: "As long as you can always protect me, I will not change."

King Xuan pulled Shen Jingyi into his arms, let her sit on his lap, and solemnly promised: "Okay, I will always protect you."

Then, he directed out the window, "Go to Zui Xiang Lou and let the carriage following behind return to the palace on its own."

All I heard was a respectful response from outside: "Yes, Your Majesty," and then the sound of the carriage turning around.

The carriage was moving with a "clack clack" sound, and from time to time one could hear the hearty laughter of King Xuan and the "coquettish" voice of Shen Jingyi from inside the carriage.

The two people sitting on the shaft of the cart listened to the laughter in the cart, looked at each other, and one of them thought: "When did their master get so happy?"

One person thought: "It seems that this concubine is really extraordinary!"

When they arrived at the place, King Xuan got off the carriage first, then turned around, stretched out his hand to Shen Jingyi, and helped her down.

The restaurant is located on a busy street. It is a three-story building with a wide gate and an eye-catching sign.

The interior of the restaurant is spacious and bright, with wooden tables and chairs neatly arranged. There are some green plants in the corners, and exquisite calligraphy and paintings are hung on the walls, adding a bit of cultural atmosphere.

At this time, the restaurant was bustling with people, and the guests' noisy laughter and the sound of cups clinking together were intertwined.

The waiters were busy moving around, warmly serving every customer.

As soon as the two entered the door, the waiter greeted them warmly, "Your Majesty, you are here. Please go upstairs."

The shopkeeper was fiddling with the beads on the abacus. When he heard the sound, he threw the abacus aside and ran over immediately.

With a smile on his round face, he took the waiter's seat and enthusiastically took them to a private room on the third floor.

After Shen Jingyi entered the room, she looked around curiously, then walked to the window, opened it and took a look outside.

The shopkeeper stood with Chuba who followed him in, and asked quietly, "Who is this master?"

Chuba saw that both masters were by the window, so he quickly said, "This is Concubine Shen."

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper looked up carefully and said, "It seems that this is the person who came to the mansion three days ago."

Shen Jingyi actually saw their interaction, but said nothing.

Soon the waiter brought in two cups of tea, and the shopkeeper asked as he served the tea, "What would you like to eat today, Your Majesty?"

King Xuan glanced at Shen Jingyi, and then casually said, "Eight Treasure Duck, Crispy Chicken, Braised Beef, Wine-Rice Meatballs, Hibiscus Osmanthus Crisp, White Jade Pearl Soup, well, you can choose the other two side dishes."

"Yes, please wait a moment, I'll be there soon." The shopkeeper bowed and retreated.

Chuba also tactfully retreated outside the door and waited.

"Your Highness, the dishes you ordered seem to be a bit too much. I'm afraid we can't finish so much." Shen Jingyi said softly.

"Why? Are you worried about your money? No problem, you don't have to treat me. I will pay the bill. You can keep the money for yourself!" King Xuan said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Shen Jingyi hurriedly explained: "No, I don't have any. Besides, I still have the money to treat the prince to a meal."

"I bring my woman out for dinner, how can I let you pay the bill? What would that mean for me?" King Xuan joked.

Without thinking, Shen Jingyi said quickly: "Little white face."

"Hmm~"

As soon as she said this, Shen Jingyi regretted it immediately. She reached out and slapped herself lightly on the mouth, secretly regretting that she shouldn't have said that. So she quickly made amends, "Haha... I meant that you have fair skin and handsome looks..."

"Oh? Really?" King Xuan looked at her with interest.

"Yes, of course. Otherwise, what would Your Majesty think what I meant?" Shen Jingyi said in a low voice with a red face and head down.

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense. Don't you like these dishes? I'll let you try each one so you don't have to keep thinking about them." King Xuan said gently.

"Not at all."

Although Shen Jingyi said this, her heart was filled with sweetness.
