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

The dishes were served very quickly, and soon the shopkeeper and a few others brought all the dishes.

In addition to the dishes they ordered at the beginning, they also served a sweet soup, a dish of vegetable heart, and a dish of bamboo shoots.

Looking at the table full of delicious dishes, Shen Jingyi felt that she could eat again.

She first picked up the chopsticks and looked at the braised beef in the sauce, but eventually she looked away and picked up a piece of eight-treasure duck for King Xuan.

Although she had only been married for three days, she knew that King Xuan usually ate light food.

King Xuan also gave her a piece of braised beef with chopsticks and said gently, "Eat it! See if it suits your taste."

Shen Jingyi nodded happily and began to eat heartily, occasionally serving dishes to King Xuan.

She tried each of them and thought they were all okay. The reason she remembered these three dishes was that when she first arrived, she was still sick and had to eat light meals every day, so she remembered them as soon as Shen Chenxi mentioned them.

The meals she made in her small kitchen were also delicious, but the place where they were eaten was different;

So the mood for eating is also different. It's the same mood as when we eat at home every day and occasionally want to have a meal.

Shen Jingyi accidentally ate too much again. She didn't dare to eat anymore and began to concentrate on serving food to King Xuan.

Just then, there was a sudden noise outside the window;

As soon as Shen Jingyi heard it, she knew it was a scene of raping a woman. She immediately became interested and walked to the window to watch what was happening outside with great interest.

King Xuan saw that she liked the hustle and bustle, so he let her do it. He was full too, so he sat at the table and listened to the noise outside. The more he listened, the tighter his brows furrowed.

Then he stood up and walked over, but people outside couldn't see him from where he was standing.

On the street, an old man was seen kneeling in front of a man of about 21 or 22, kowtowing and begging, "Sir, please let my daughter go. She is getting married soon. Please let us go."

A young woman was surrounded by several ferocious-looking men. The woman had a pretty face and a good figure, but at the moment her face was full of fear.

She tried to break free, but the difference in strength was too great. People around her watched, but no one dared to come forward to help.

Seeing that there was no hope of escaping, the woman knelt down, tears pouring out of her eyes, and she cried and begged for mercy, "Sir, please spare me!

I already have a fiancé, so I really can't go back with you! Please have mercy on me and let me go!

You are of noble status, you can get any woman you want, why do you have to embarrass us country women!"

The big men who were surrounding her started to make a noise when they saw her crying: "Sir, look at this young lady crying so beautifully, much prettier than the last time."

The other person standing next to him rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "This is called pear blossoms with rain on their faces, very charming, do you understand? I told you to read more books, but you refused to listen!"

"Yes, yes, that's the word. I just can't remember it at the moment."

The man scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

At this time, the young man slowly approached, holding a folding fan and gently lifted the woman's chin, forcing her to raise her head.

After looking at her for a while, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and praised softly: "Well, she is indeed quite beautiful."

The woman was even more frightened now, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Seeing this, the old man didn't care about anything else. He struggled to get up and rushed towards his daughter.

However, before he could get close, he was kicked hard to the ground by a burly man.

The father-in-law spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot and was unable to get up for a long time.

“Ah... Dad... Dad…” Seeing this, the woman screamed and cried in horror, trying to break free and rush over to check on her father.

But unfortunately, her hands were tightly grasped by the other two people and she couldn't move at all.

"Take her away for me, young master!" With an angry shout, several men dragged the woman away forcibly.

The woman continued to struggle and cried out loudly, "Ah... I'm going to sue you. How dare you rob me in broad daylight? Do you still have the law?"

Her voice was full of despair and helplessness, but it didn't change anything.

Soon, she was stuffed into a carriage.

Shen Jingyi was so angry when she saw this. King Xuan was about to speak, but she turned around and ran back to the dining table without saying a word, picked up the bowl of soup and ran to the window, throwing it at the man without hesitation.

A vein popped up on King Xuan's forehead, and he swallowed what he was about to say, watching the situation develop.

He thought: "This little woman is so brave. If he wasn't here today, how would this end?"

Just as the bowl of soup was about to hit the man, suddenly, a strong arm appeared out of nowhere, swung it violently, and knocked the bowl away.

Despite this, the soup still splashed all over the man.

Shen Jingyi felt quite regretful. If only the soup was still hot, it would have scalded the bastard to death.

"Who is it? Who dares to sneak attack this young master!" the man roared in anger.

"How dare you rape a woman in broad daylight? Do you still have the law?" Shen Jingyi shouted angrily with righteous words.

The man looked up in the direction of the voice and saw Shen Jingyi's beautiful face.

"I was stunned for a moment." After coming to his senses, he felt a little embarrassed and laughed, "Where did you come from, little girl? You dare to meddle in other people's business and attack me. You should think about how to apologize to me!"

That man was so bold and lustful that he didn't even think about who could eat on the third floor of Zui Xiang Lou.

He only wanted to take this beautiful woman in front of him for himself, so he arrogantly ordered his subordinates: "Go, take away the woman who dared to attack me!"

The people watching the excitement began to discuss in low voices: "Oh, this girl is in trouble now. She was meddling in other people's business and ended up getting herself into trouble."

"What girl? Didn't you see that she had a woman's hair styled like that? Besides, anyone who can eat on the third floor of Zui Xiang Lou must not be an ordinary person. Who knows who will be unlucky!"

Someone nearby also echoed, "I think so too. It's time for someone to deal with Chu San. He has been taking advantage of his father and sister to do bad things."

However, before those big men could enter the building, they were all knocked to the ground by Chuqi who was guarding the car outside.

Shen Jingyi's eyes lit up with excitement when she saw this scene. She couldn't help but applaud and turned to King Xuan and said admiringly: "Your Majesty, your people are so powerful! They knocked them all down in just a few moves!"

King Xuan looked at the excited little woman in front of him, feeling somewhat helpless, but smiling lovingly, and said softly: "Go over there and sit, and stop being naughty."

Then he said loudly to the outside of the door: "Go and bring the person up."

When Chuba heard the sound outside the door, he immediately responded and quickly went downstairs to bring people.

"Mr. Chu, my master invites you."

When Chu San saw Chu Qi taking action, he was completely sober;

At this time, I saw Chuba walking out of the building, and my heart suddenly sank.

He knew these two people. They were from Prince Xuan's palace. Their presence meant that Prince Xuan was also here. He had just seen them.

He felt like he was going to die. Trembling all over, he followed Chuba inside with trepidation.

The crowd outside who were watching the fun did not disperse, just waiting to see the third young master Chu make a fool of himself.

In the private room, Shen Jingyi saw that Prince Xuan wanted to see that person, so she said obediently: "Prince, I'd better go inside and avoid him for a while."

She pointed to a small compartment separated by a screen in the private room, where there was an exquisite chaise longue, usually used by guests for a nap or to sober up.

King Xuan smiled and nodded: "Go."

After getting permission, Shen Jingyi walked lightly to the small compartment, sat quietly on the chaise longue, waiting for what would happen next.

She had just sat down when she remembered the sound of the door opening.

"brother-in-law"

Hearing this title, Shen Jingyi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. There was only one person who could be called Prince Xuan's brother-in-law, and that was Princess Xuan's biological brother. Oh, yes, I think his name was Chu Chengming.

Humph, isn't this person a celebrity? He bullies men and women.

Sure enough, King Xuan's voice came: "You are good, this is what the Minister taught you. Who did you want to take away just now?"

King Xuan's voice was full of majesty, and there was none of the gentleness that he had when he was with Shen Jingyi.

Chu Chengming was so frightened that he knelt down and begged for mercy: "Brother-in-law, please be merciful and forgive me this time;

I didn't know that he was your man. If I knew, I wouldn't dare to do it even if I had a hundred guts. I will never do that again."

King Xuan sneered and asked, "You still dream of a next time? Tell me how many women you have robbed."

Chu Chengming hesitated for a long time before answering: "Uh... Actually... there are not many."

"What's a few?" King Xuan's tone became increasingly severe.

“Three…three…” Chu Chengming lowered his head and answered tremblingly.

King Xuan slammed his hand on the table and ordered angrily: "Go back immediately and release all these women, and give each of them 100 taels of silver as compensation.

If you do it again in the future, don't blame me for sending you to the mines to work, and at the same time ordering the minister to expel you from the house!"

"Yes, yes, I'll let you go when I get back. Thank you, brother-in-law, for your mercy!"

Chu Chengming wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and nodded repeatedly.

"Also, don't call me brother-in-law anymore!" King Xuan continued to scold.

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty," Chu Chengming responded hurriedly.

Finally, King Xuan waved his hand impatiently and shouted, "Get out!"

"Yes, yes, I'll get out of here right away."

Chu Chengming ran out crawling.

This time he might be really scared.

After he went out, he hurriedly ordered the father and daughter to be released, and forced a silver note of 100 taels into the old man's arms;

Then he hurried back home with his men.

The old man held the hundred taels of silver with shaking hands. He did not dare to accept it, fearing that it was a trap and he would not be able to pay it back.

Chu Qi, who was standing next to him, couldn't bear it and said to him, "It's okay, just keep it. This is compensation for you. Take the money and go back quickly, otherwise it will be unsafe on the road."

After saying this, he gave the people around him a warning look. Two of them who felt guilty immediately lowered their heads and put aside their thoughts.

The old man stopped hesitating after hearing this. Since this person said so, then it would really be given to them.

So he quickly put it away, pulled his daughter over and knelt down, kowtowed to the window on the third floor where Shen Jingyi had just stood, then stood up and thanked Chuqi again.

Then the father and daughter left quickly without looking back and disappeared into the crowd.
