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

When King Xuan approached, Shen Jingyi smiled and extended her hand to him.

King Xuan smiled slightly, held her hand and gently pulled her up.

"Are you done? Did I disturb you?"

"No need to disturb you. It's lunch time now and everyone needs to eat." King Xuan replied gently.

Shen Jingyi nodded and said softly, "That's good."

Then, she turned around and told Chuntao: "Chuntao, set the table."

"Yes, concubine."

Chuntao responded, then walked into the house with Xiazhu and Qiukui.

I quickly took out the three food boxes they brought. As the boxes were opened, a tempting aroma filled my nose, as if the whole room was filled with delicious food.

Two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, a soup, and a bowl of white rice. Because there was a little carbon at the bottom of the box, the dishes still remained hot and exuded an enticing aroma.

After the dishes were neatly arranged, Shen Jingyi looked at everyone and said gently, "You don't need to serve here anymore, go downstairs and have your meal!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Concubine, I will take my leave." "I will take my leave, my humble servant."

After everyone has left,

Shen Jingyi picked up a piece of tender and juicy roasted venison for King Xuan and said gently, "Your Majesty, please try it. This was sent from the farm this morning."

King Xuan picked up the chopsticks, picked up the venison and tasted it, then nodded, "It's really good, you should try it too."

As he said this, he also picked up a piece for Shen Jingyi.

Shen Jingyi ate it with a smile.

Afterwards, Shen Jingyi made another bowl of soup for King Xuan.

Although the two didn't say anything, the atmosphere was quiet and warm.

After both of them had eaten and drunk their fill, Shen Jingyi told them the purpose of coming here today.

"My Lord, please lend us two people!"

King Xuan was stunned for a moment after hearing this. He looked at her puzzledly and asked, "Are you going to do something? Or do you think there are not enough people?"

Shen Jingyi nodded, "I have enough manpower. I want two people who are good at martial arts. It would be best if they have higher martial arts ability."

Although King Xuan didn't know what she was going to do, he agreed. "Sure, whenever you want."

When Shen Jingyi heard that this was an agreement, a bright smile immediately broke out on her face, and she happily replied, "Tomorrow."

When King Xuan heard the time, his brows knitted involuntarily, "Are you going out tomorrow?"

"No!" Shen Jingyi blinked and responded playfully.

When King Xuan heard that he was not going out, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You should stay at home obediently tomorrow and don't go anywhere."

His tone was gentle, but one could hear a hint of nervousness in it.

“As for manpower, I will send four secret guards to you tomorrow.

No matter what happens tomorrow, you don't have to worry about it, just guard the yard, okay?"

Seeing King Xuan's serious expression, Shen Jingyi bit her lip and asked in a low voice: "Will the King of Qi tomorrow..." Although she had already guessed it, she still wanted a definite answer.

Although Shen Jingyi did not finish speaking, King Xuan understood.

King Xuan nodded, his eyes dark, "Tomorrow night, my father will go up to the city tower to enjoy the lanterns, and he will start then."

He frowned slightly and continued, "So, I may not be able to take care of you tomorrow, so don't go anywhere at home."

After hearing this, Shen Jingyi felt a little nervous, but she also knew the seriousness of the matter.

She nodded, raised her hand to touch his worried frown, and whispered to comfort him: "Don't worry, I promise to stay in the yard tomorrow and not go anywhere."

Looking at his furrowed brows, Shen Jingyi added mischievously: "So, don't wrinkle your face. If you wrinkle too much, you'll get wrinkles easily."

The words were light-hearted and humorous, breaking the sternness on his face.

King Xuan reluctantly pulled her hand down, turned over his palm and patted it, and couldn't help but curl up a smile at the corner of his mouth: "Naughty."

There was a hint of fondness in his tone.

Shen Jingyi just laughed, "Hehe..." with a playful look in her eyes.

After she made such a fuss, the tense and serious atmosphere just now dissipated in an instant.

Then, Shen Jingyi asked again: "Have you told the princess about this?"

King Xuan shook his head, his tone a little tired, "Not yet! I'll go talk to her later and ask her to make arrangements for the palace.

I will go to the palace to ask for sick leave later. The women in our mansion will not attend the Lantern Festival this year."

Shen Jingyi secretly curled her lips and complained in her heart: "Do I need you to talk to your princess?

She has already arranged everything clearly without you knowing.

Even my death date has been arranged.

Alas! When you find out, you will have no choice but to collect my body.'

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a surge of complex emotions in her heart.

However, she did not show it, but turned her head and looked at King Xuan seriously, her face becoming serious: "Your Highness, can you come back after you finish your business? I have something to tell you."

There was a sense of urgency and importance in her words, which made the already relaxed atmosphere even more solemn.

King Xuan rarely saw Shen Jingyi so serious. Thinking of what she had just said about borrowing people, he thought that this matter should not be too small.

His brows furrowed unconsciously again, "Can't you tell me now?"

Shen Jingyi looked determined and nodded decisively, "No, it's not the right time yet. We have to wait until you come back tomorrow."

He wanted to ask more, but he could feel Shen Jingyi's stubbornness.

In the end, he could only suppress his doubts and silently agreed: "Okay, I will be back as soon as possible."
