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

On the fifth night, King Xuan did not return.

Instead, he ordered Chuqi to come over and tell her, "Concubine, the prince will enter the palace in the evening and told me to come and tell you something.

He won't go back to the backyard at night, so you can rest early."

Shen Jingyi frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Why did you suddenly enter the palace? Didn't the prince go to Prince Cheng's Mansion in the afternoon?"

Chu Qi replied respectfully: "My concubine, I don't know the specific reason, I only know that someone from the palace came to see the prince."

After hearing this, Shen Jingyi's doubts deepened, but she had no way to ask further questions.

She suppressed her uneasiness, tried to summon a smile, and said gently, "I know, thank you for your hard work."

Then he turned to look at Chun Tao and said, "Give her the purse from Chuqi."

Chuntao responded immediately, walked quickly into the inner room, opened a box, and took out an exquisite purse embroidered with flower and bird patterns in bright colors.

She walked out of the inner room and in front of Chu Qi, and handed it over, "This is the purse that the concubine gave you."

Seeing this, Chuqi was surprised. She took the purse with both hands and said quickly, "Thank you for the gift, Concubine. Chuliu and I were not at home a few days ago. I didn't expect you still thought of us."

Shen Jingyi smiled slightly, looking at Chuqi's delighted face, and said softly: "This is what you deserve. You have worked hard following the prince."

Chuqi bowed his head gratefully, said goodbye with a smile, and quickly left.

Chun Tao looked at Chu Qi's back as she left and said with a smile, "Concubine, you prepared purses for the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth days of the lunar calendar for the prince, but now you still haven't received the purse for the sixth day."

Qiu Ju smiled and said, "Haha... I guess he will come over in the next two days."

Shen Jingyi nodded slightly and did not join in their teasing.

Her gaze fell out the window. As the night deepened, the stars dotted the sky, reflecting the vague anxiety in her heart.

She didn't know what was happening in the palace at this moment, but her intuition told her that something must have happened.

In the front yard, Chuliu was standing in the yard. Seeing Chuqi coming back happily, he couldn't help but ask, "Where have you been?"

"I went to tell the concubine about this, and she gave me a purse as a reward!" Chuqi had an excited smile on his face, and inside it was five taels of silver!

Chu Liu's face fell a little after hearing this, and he sighed: "Hey! You all have it, it seems that I have to find a way to go to Concubine Shen."

Chuqi patted his shoulder and said, "Next time you need to pass a message, run faster." There was a hint of teasing in his tone.

"Fuck you, just give in to me next time."

Chuliu kicked forward, but Chuqi dodged it easily.

The two of them left the palace while fighting.

King Xuan did not return to the backyard for several days in a row, and Shen Jingyi was even more certain that something had happened.

Today is already the ninth day of the first lunar month. Shen Jingyi is a little impatient and feels that she can't wait any longer.

So, for lunch, a few dishes were prepared and sent to the study in the front yard.

When Chuntao came back, she reported, "There are several people waiting in front of the study, and they don't look like they are here to pay New Year's greetings."

Shen Jingyi nodded to show that she understood.

Sure enough, King Xuan finally returned that night.

"I've met the prince."

Everyone bowed their heads in unison, and the sound was particularly clear in the room.

King Xuan nodded slightly, glanced around, and then slowly said: "All of you go out, no one is allowed to come in without my order."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Everyone responded and retreated one by one. The sound of a door closing was heard from the outside, and the whole room suddenly became quiet.

Shen Jingyi sat on the couch, put down the book in her hand, and felt a little uneasy in her heart.

She looked at King Xuan and couldn't help asking, "Did something happen? What have you been busy with these days?"

When King Xuan saw the worry and anxiety in her expression, his heart softened.

He walked over to her, gently put his arm around her shoulders, and whispered softly, "Concubine Yu in the palace was imprisoned by my father and executed in secret."

Shen Jingyi was shocked, "Has this been exposed?"

King Xuan nodded, frowning, and said in a deep voice: "Father has not had an attack yet, maybe he wants to wait until after the New Year.

Maybe he still wants to give King Qi another chance."

"What about King Qi?"

Shen Jingyi was nervous and eager to know how the King of Qi would react.

The King of Qi was very ambitious, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

“King Qi may have received the news.

In the past few days, he secretly met with people from the Five Cities Army, the West Mountain Camp, and the Imperial Guards."

There was a hint of fatigue in King Xuan's voice, and his eyes became profound.

"He's trying to extract a confession."

Shen Jingyi's voice couldn't help but get louder, and she felt extremely nervous about the situation that was about to happen.
