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

The group's carriage stopped at the palace gate, and everyone got off and walked into the palace.

In order to match Shen Jingyi's pace, everyone walked slowly.

The palace servants following them did not dare to hurry them and could only follow them at a leisurely pace.

So by the time they arrived at Concubine Shu's palace, it was already three quarters of an hour later.

The servants who followed them were led to the side hall.

The two cooks were also taken to Concubine Shu's small kitchen.

Therefore, King Xuan took over Xia Zhu's task and carefully helped Shen Jingyi into the palace.

The set of precious jewelry that was originally held by Dongxue and given to Concubine Shu was now taken over by Shen Jingyi herself and held tightly in her arms.

It's very lively inside now, with people, invited and not, sitting together chatting.

King Xuan glanced around and raised his eyebrows slightly, but he remained polite and took the lead in greeting everyone, "Greetings to mother, Empress De, Empress Xian, Consort Li, and Consort Rong."

Concubine Shu looked at them with a smile on her face and said kindly, "No need to be polite."

Then, she called the three children enthusiastically, "Come and sit over here, Madam."

The three children obediently walked to Concubine Shu and sat down.

Concubine Shu quickly brought the cakes on the table to them.

"Come and try it and see if you like it."

Xiao Zimo likes beautiful things, so before he even ate it, he said happily: "I like it, they are all very beautiful."

After saying that, he looked around again and asked in confusion: "Grandma, where is my sister?"

"She went with the palace maids to pick flowers and will be back soon." Concubine Shu replied lovingly.

At this time, King Xuan, Chu Mengyao, and Shen Jingyi also sat in the lower seats in order of their status.

Empress Xian looked at her and suddenly asked, "Is this the concubine of the fifth master?"

Shen Jingyi was in a good mood today. When she heard Concubine Xian mention her,

Then he stood up with a smile and answered respectfully, "Yes, Madam."

Because everyone present was seeing her for the first time, and she also brought the cook in today, so they were all quite curious about her.

So, Defei, who was sitting next to Shufei, also looked at her belly and asked, "How many months pregnant are you?"

Shen Jingyi looked down at her belly, then replied softly, "Almost seven months."

Rong Zhaoyi was curious, looked at the box in her arms and asked, "What are you holding in your hands?"

Shen Jingyi saw that everyone's eyes were focused on her;

She smiled calmly and said, "This was bought by accident when the prince and I were out on business.

I think it is very suitable for Madam Shufei, so I bought it back to honor her."

As she spoke, Shen Jingyi handed the box in her hand to the palace maid beside her and asked her to pass it to Concubine Shu.

When Concubine Shu took it and opened it, her eyes lit up.

Inside was a set of exquisite ruby ​​jewelry with unique design and exquisite craftsmanship. Every gem shone with charming light.

The corners of Concubine Shu's mouth slightly raised, her eyes showing fondness, and she said to Shen Jingyi: "You are thoughtful, I like it very much."

Shen Jingyi was very happy to see that Concubine Shu really liked him.

The things I gave were recognized!

"As long as your Majesty likes it."

When Concubine Xian saw the jewelry, she also liked it very much and said sourly, "Sister is so lucky. This concubine is still thinking about you when she goes out!

Unlike me, I can’t even see my son-in-law, let alone my daughter-in-law.”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Shen Jingyi and asked, "I heard that your family is still holding a funeral! Two people died in one day, why don't you go back to take a look?"

The smile on Shen Jingyi's face could no longer be maintained. She didn't know what Concubine Xian meant by asking this.

Concubine Shu was not tolerant. After hearing her words, she frowned and said, "Why are you asking about other people's affairs? We are having a family dinner today.

Not only did you come uninvited, but you also specifically mentioned some people who spoiled the fun. If you don’t want to eat, go back.”

Empress Xian curled her lips, "Then I won't say anything. Really, I didn't even let you say a word just to eat your meal."

Shen Jingyi quickly tried to smooth things over, "It's not that I won't go back, Empress Xian, but things at home are a little complicated and I can't explain them in a few words."

Concubine Shu glared at Concubine Xian, then said gently, "Don't pay attention to her, she is just like that, she is very rude.

Come, try this snack, it tastes very good!"

Concubine Shu gestured to Shen Jingyi to look at the snacks that the palace servants had just brought up.

Shen Jingyi smiled and nodded, picked up a piece of dessert and put it in her mouth. It was indeed delicious.

Seeing this, Empress Xian picked up a piece of dessert and said as she ate, "Hmph, you guys are lucky. I'm in a good mood today, so I won't bother with you."

Concubine Shu and Shen Jingyi looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

At this time, Concubine De looked at Chu Mengyao and asked softly, "Mengyao, what's wrong? You usually talk the most, but today you are silent."

Hearing Concubine De's question, Chu Mengyao pouted and replied with a look of grievance: "Hey, don't bother me, I'm just jealous of my sister!

Mother can only see my sister now, and can hardly see me, her daughter-in-law."

After saying this, he lowered his head pretending to be sad.

After hearing this, Concubine Shu couldn't help laughing out loud, "Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? I am not biased towards anyone."

As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Shu pointed to the door and saw a palace maid walking in with a plate of exquisite pastries.

Concubine Shu smiled and said to Chu Mengyao, "Did you see it? Your plum blossom cake is there!

I specially asked someone to prepare this for you, why don't you try it quickly."

Chu Mengyao immediately turned from sadness to joy when she heard this, "My daughter-in-law is just joking! Mother, don't take it seriously."

The atmosphere here had just eased when we heard the voice of "The Emperor has arrived" from outside.
