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

After Chu Chengming left, King Xuan sat there motionless, not knowing what he was thinking about. His fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a "dong dong dong" sound.

After a while, King Xuan raised his head and looked at Chu Ba: "Go to the Chancellor's Mansion of Chu and tell the Chancellor a message;

If you can't teach your child well, just keep him in the house and don't let him leave."

"Yes, my subordinate will go right away."

When Shen Jingyi heard that everyone in the room had left, she also stepped out of the room, bit her lip, and asked cautiously: "My lord, have I gotten into trouble?"

"You did something wrong today. Think carefully about what it was." King Xuan's voice was as calm as water.

Shen Jingyi blinked her eyes, thought for a moment, and then answered carefully: "I shouldn't have hit Chu Chengming with the bowl."

King Xuan shook his head slightly and looked at her with a sharp gaze. "Half right."

Shen Jingyi's heart tightened, and she couldn't help but wonder;

Since I guessed half of it right, what is the other half?

She lowered her head in thought, trying to recall everything that had just happened.

"Have you ever thought about how you would deal with those people if I wasn't here today? And how it would end?"

King Xuan didn't wait for her to think any more and directly expressed his concerns.

When Shen Jingyi heard this, her uneasy mood instantly disappeared.

She walked to the side of King Xuan, grabbed his sleeve, and said coquettishly: "Then I dare to act like this only because I have the support of the prince."

King Xuan looked at her cute and lovely appearance, and his heart softened, but he still said seriously: "Don't be impulsive, think of a way out, and put your own safety first."

Shen Jingyi nodded repeatedly, indicating that she understood King Xuan's teachings.

She leaned against King Xuan and whispered, "I will pay more attention in the future and will not cause trouble to the prince again."

King Xuan smiled and stroked her hair. "This is not a problem. This is a solution to a problem."

Shen Jingyi thought about it and realized that if they hadn't happened to meet her today;

If we allow Chu Chengming to continue his evil deeds, and if someone with ulterior motives reports him to the emperor in the future, I am afraid even the prince will be implicated.

It's not easy to be a brother-in-law.

"Is there somewhere you want to go later?"

"No, it's too hot and I don't want to go anywhere. Let's go back." Shen Jingyi answered truthfully.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Afterwards, the two men left the restaurant and got on the carriage that had been waiting outside.

"Go home."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The carriage started slowly and drove towards the palace.

Inside the carriage, Shen Jingyi sat beside King Xuan, her beautiful eyes staring at him, and she said with a half-smile on her lips: "Your Highness, it turns out that the rich and powerful can really eat a free meal."

King Xuan couldn't help but smile when he heard this. He reached out and tapped Shen Jingyi's forehead gently. "What do you mean by free meal? No one can eat a free meal. If you don't know, don't talk nonsense, lest you be laughed at."

Shen Jingyi grumbled unconvincedly: "Then you didn't pay just now."

King Xuan held his forehead helplessly, "Don't you know there is a kind of person who can buy on credit? Then when the amount accumulates to a certain amount, you can send someone to your house to collect the debt."

Shen Jingyi blinked, a little embarrassed, "Haha, I really don't know this, no one has ever told me about this, and I haven't learned how to be a housekeeper yet."

Seeing this, King Xuan smiled mysteriously and said, "Then I'll tell you something else."

Shen Jingyi asked curiously: "What?"

"This Zui Xiang Lou is actually my property, so I don't need to pay."

Shen Jingyi laughed secretly in her heart. In fact, she had already seen through it and just wanted to tease King Xuan.

She pretended to be surprised and said, "Your Majesty, I have actually figured it out. Do you believe it?" After saying that, she winked at King Xuan mischievously.

King Xuan was stunned at first, then burst into laughter;

That's right, he didn't plan to be busy, so the shopkeeper might have already revealed his true intentions.

After the two returned to the mansion, King Xuan personally sent Shen Jingyi back to the Jade Pavilion, and then returned to the front yard.

"Mammy, have we sent the gift list of return gifts to the main courtyard?"

Shen Jingyi was sitting in front of the dressing mirror at this time, letting Xia Zhu take off her hairpins and rings for her.

"Yes, concubine. I will deliver it as soon as I come back." Nanny Qin replied.

Dongmei was standing nearby, still wondering if the food at Zui Xiang Lou was delicious, so she asked, "Concubine, are the dishes at Zui Xiang Lou delicious?"

When Shen Jingyi heard Dongmei's question, she answered without thinking: "It's OK. I think it's different from what we make in our small kitchen. I'll take you to try it someday."

After hearing this, several people were very happy and hurriedly thanked him, "Yes, thank you, master."

Shen Jingyi continued excitedly: "Let me tell you, your master did a good thing today!"

"What good news? Didn't you go to Zui Xiang Lou for dinner with the prince?" Xia Zhu asked puzzledly.

Shen Jingyi smiled smugly and said, "The prince and I were having dinner at Zui Xiang Lou! Just after we finished our meal, we heard the sound of a bully robbing a woman downstairs, so I......"

Shen Jingyi vividly told the four of them the entire process of today's rescue.

Dongmei opened her mouth in surprise and said in disbelief: "Oh my God, I didn't expect the princess's brother to be such a person."

Chun Tao echoed, "That's right. In broad daylight, he dared to rob a commoner girl under the emperor's feet. He is really bold!"

Xia Zhu said with emotion: "Fortunately, you and the prince saw him today, otherwise I don't know how many more girls would have been harmed by him."

Nanny Qin was worried that if the princess knew what happened today, she would make things difficult for the concubine.

So he asked worriedly, "Concubine, what about the princess?"

After being reminded by Nanny Qin, the others reacted quickly and showed worried expressions.

Yes, will the princess embarrass the concubine because of this?

Shen Jingyi looked relaxed, and comforted them as if nothing had happened: "It's okay, the prince said that he will handle this matter, so there's no need to worry."

After saying this, Shen Jingyi took off all the hairpins and rings. She stood up and stretched her neck. She felt much more relaxed on her head. She really couldn't understand what those people with hair full of pearls and jade were thinking. Aren't they tired?

Shen Jingyi walked to the bed and sat down, looking at the few people who were still there and whispered, "I usually don't leave the yard before Shenzheng (1-4 o'clock). You can arrange your shifts during this time so that you can rest for a while."

The few people knew that this was the master's sympathy for them, and they all thanked him with smiles on their faces. "Thank you, master!"

"Go ahead, go ahead. I'll take a nap." Shen Jingyi said as he yawned slightly.

After saying that, he lay down, and soon he began to breathe evenly. It seemed that he was really sleepy.

Several people quietly retreated in a happy mood.

After going outside, Nanny Qin called them to a deserted place and said, "Our master is kind-hearted and cares for the servants, but we must also know how to keep our distance.

Although the time period mentioned by the concubine does not seem to have too many things to deal with, but things are unpredictable! You are also very clear about the situation in this mansion.

Therefore, I think that among the seven of us, only two people need to rest every day.”

"Madam, what you said is absolutely right." Chuntao was originally a little worried, but when she heard what Madam Qin said, she nodded without hesitation.

Dongmei and Xiazhu also had no objections and agreed, thinking that this was more appropriate.

Nanny Qin: "That's it for today. We'll arrange the shifts in the evening."

After King Xuan returned to the front yard, he sat quietly in the study for an hour. Then he wrote a letter to Censor Wang and Shangshu Chu respectively and had someone send them out quietly.
