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

When people heard that the yard was going to be searched, they had different expressions. Some were calm, some were happy, but no one was nervous or guilty.

Well, there is also someone who is excited to watch the fun.

King Xuan saw all of this, but said nothing.

There was silence for a moment.

However, in this tense and almost suffocating atmosphere, an extremely inharmonious sound suddenly was heard - "Gurgle".

In an instant, everyone's eyes turned towards the source of the sound.

Shen Jingyi's face was flushed, her hand touching her belly, she was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into immediately.

She forced a smile and stammered to explain, "Well... I didn't have breakfast this morning, so I'm a little hungry."

King Xuan wanted to laugh when he saw her appearance, but because of this little episode, his gloomy mood was relieved a little.

Seeing that it was past lunch time, he said, "Okay, let's all go."

King Xuan took the lead and walked out, and when he passed by Shen Jingyi, he took her away with him.

After everyone left, only Chu Mengyao and Su Wan were left in the spacious hall.

Su Wan looked at Chu Mengyao who was still sitting in the main seat and said sarcastically: "I never thought that after fighting for so many years, we would end up falling into the hands of an unfavored concubine!"

"Humph, she is always silent on weekdays, which really makes people misjudge her. It is true that the silent dog is the most ferocious."

As Chu Mengyao spoke, she stood up, glanced at Su Wan in a condescending manner, and sneered, "No matter what, I am still the princess. Even if I lose power now, it is only temporary. As long as I don't die, you will be my concubines after all."

After saying this, he flicked his sleeves and strode out, followed by a group of people.

Su Wan's eyes were fixed on Chu Mengyao's receding back, and her eyes revealed an almost crazy hatred.

Her family background is not bad, so why should she be relegated to the position of a concubine?

She is the beloved eldest daughter in the family! From childhood to adulthood, her family has always carefully cultivated her according to the standards of the mistress of the house.

Why did she end up becoming her least favorite concubine? Thinking of this, Su Wan couldn't help but snorted coldly and muttered to herself: "The so-called concubine, no matter how beautiful it sounds, it's still just a concubine after all!"

At this moment, Su Wan looked a little lost and stood there blankly.

Nanny Xia behind her looked at the proud and arrogant young lady whom she had raised since she was a child, and walked over with a feeling of heartache.

"Master, you have to think positively. Not everything can go as planned in life. How many people envy your current position and want it! Your confinement is only temporary. Think about the Second Young Master and the Little Princess, and let's go back."

Su Wan didn't like people calling her concubine, so the people close to her called her master.

At this time, Zijuan also chimed in and said, "Yes, Master, the little princess hasn't seen you for the whole morning. I guess she is looking for you everywhere now."

Hearing this, Su Wan tried to calm her agitated emotions and slowly said, "Let's go."

......

Youlanyuan

Shen Jingyi was eating lunch quickly and elegantly. King Xuan saw how happily she was eating and ate an extra bowl of food himself.

After dinner, Chujiu walked in.

"Your Majesty, I have already led people to search every courtyard, but nothing was found."

King Xuan nodded after hearing this and said, "I understand. Go down."

Then he looked at Shen Jingyi next to him and said, "Are you a little disappointed?"

Shen Jingyi? ? I didn't think of anything, how could you tell that I was disappointed? But I still said, "That's not the case. I don't think I can find anything."

"Then why were you so excited when you heard about the search of the yard?"

"No way."

She refused to admit that she was watching a show, but from the reactions of those women later on, it became clear that there was nothing to be found.

Shen Jingyi quickly changed the subject and asked, "My Lord, do you have anything else to do later?"

Upon hearing this, King Xuan asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Shen Jingyi bowed her head and said softly, "I just thought that since you banned the Princess and Concubine Su from walking, they would inevitably feel dissatisfied.

After all, the prince and Zimo are their children, so it would be better for you to talk to them later to avoid any rift between father and son."

King Xuan stared at Shen Jingyi for a while, then said in a deep voice, "I understand."

After a pause, he asked again: "Anything else?"

Shen Jingyi quickly shook her head, "No, it's gone."

King Xuan hummed, "Then I will go to the outer courtyard."

Shen Jingyi stood up to see him off, "I am here to see you off, Your Highness."

After King Xuan left, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help yawning. Thinking that nothing was wrong, she turned around and went back to her room to take a nap.

Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, King Xuan actually called Xiao Zihong and Xiao Zimo to his study room respectively.

I don't know what King Xuan said to them, but when the two came out, their eyes were red.

After Xiao Zihong came out, he couldn't wait to run to the backyard.

At this time, the atmosphere in the main courtyard was also depressed, and the servants were all trembling with fear.

The running figure came closer and closer. When the servants saw that it was the young prince, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the prince was back. It would be good for the prince to talk to the princess and comfort her.

So he hurried in to report, "The princess and the prince are back."

Chu Mengyao was sitting in the main seat, and was very happy to hear her son was back. Just as she put on a smile, she heard a sentence: "Mother, why did you do this?"

As soon as he saw his mother, Xiao Zihong couldn't help but question her.

After hearing her son's question, the princess' smile disappeared, replaced by a look of confusion, "Hong'er, what are you talking about? Mind your etiquette."

Xiao Zihong took a deep breath and bowed, "Yes, son greets mother."

Chu Mengyao frowned, but her eyes were still full of love, and asked: "Get up, why are you back at this time?"

Xiao Zihong stood up and gritted his teeth, "Mother, my father has just told me what you have done over the years."

When Chu Mengyao heard this, her body instantly stiffened. She forced herself to remain calm and responded, "Hong'er, mother was wronged, and mother did nothing.

Xiao Zihong pursed his lips and then said, "Mother, my father showed me the evidence and witnesses."

Chu Mengyao's face became paler and her voice trembled slightly. "So what are you doing now? Are you going to convict me?"

Xiao Zihong quickly shook his head and explained anxiously: "Son, I didn't mean that."

Then, Xiao Zihong held Chu Mengyao's hand tightly, and said with a firm and sincere look: "Mother, please promise your son that you will never do this again in the future, okay?

My son will definitely work harder, strive to become stronger, and become your support and your pride."

After hearing this, Chu Mengyao couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Okay, mother will rely on you in the future."

After hearing his mother's promise, the little boy finally broke into a bright smile on his face.

"Please rest assured, mother. I will plead with father to lift your house arrest order. Oh, and by the way, the housekeeper's rights will also be returned to you."

"Okay~" Chu Mengyao nodded with emotion, her eyes full of satisfaction and expectation.
