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

Shen Jingyi was dressed neatly and sat in front of the dressing mirror, letting Chuntao put jewelry on her.

She kept her right hand on her waist, kneading it.

She was still mumbling, "Mammy, my waist is so sore."

Nanny Qin looked at her distressedly and suggested, "How about you lie down on the bed, Concubine, and let this old servant rub you. It will make you feel better. Otherwise, you will have to endure it when you go to the main courtyard to serve tea later."

When Shen Jingyi heard this, her face immediately fell, and she said pitifully: "But my waist is so sore, I can't even kneel down, how can I serve tea?

It’s all King Xuan’s fault. He was tossing and turning for most of the night, as if he had never eaten meat.”

While she was blaming King Xuan, she did not realize that she had been just as passionate last night.

She lay on the bed and let Nanny Qin massage her. Sure enough, she felt much better after a while.

Shen Jingyi got up from the bed, tidied her clothes and hair, and walked out of the room.

When she arrived at the side hall, she saw King Xuan had returned and was sitting at the dining table waiting for her.

She turned her eyes and paid attention.

I saw her hands rubbing her waist again, and she slowly walked over to greet him, her voice soft and gentle: "I pay my respects to the prince."

When King Xuan heard the voice, he looked up.

Even though I had seen Shen Jingyi's beauty last night;

Now, there was a flash of surprise in his eyes when he saw her again;

Thinking about how bold this little guy was last night.

His body reacted immediately, and he quickly interrupted the scene of last night in his mind and could not think about it anymore.

"No need to be polite, come and have breakfast!" King Xuan said softly, suppressing the strangeness in his eyes.

Shen Jingyi's eyes lit up.

She was really hungry. After all, she didn't eat much yesterday.

She had done some naughty things in the evening and had consumed too much energy. Now she really needed to replenish her energy.

When I walked over, I saw crystal clear shrimp dumplings, steaming hot dumplings,

Small flower rolls with nice shapes that can be eaten in one bite, fragrant shredded chicken porridge, and soft and sticky rice porridge.

Osmanthus cake, red bean cake, yam and jujube paste cake and six refreshing side dishes.

See the table full of delicious food.

Shen Jingyi was about to sit down happily, but suddenly her mind flashed with the words that the nanny had once told her - to serve the prince at meals.

She quickly stood up again, cursing in her heart, this hateful ancient society.

But she still had a sweet smile on her face, and said in a delicate voice: "Your Majesty, I will serve you breakfast."

King Xuan found it very funny to see her eyes always fixed on the food.

This person doesn't look like a servant, so he thought, "Forget it, there is no shortage of servants in the mansion anyway, so let it be!

It's good to have such a lively person in the backyard, so there's no need to change her."

Having made up his mind, he said, "Just sit down and eat together. No need to wait on me. I'm sure you're hungry too."

When Shen Jingyi heard this, she was truly delighted. It was naturally great that she didn't have to be served.

She quickly sat down, "Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."

But before starting to eat, she picked up a crystal shrimp dumpling and placed it in King Xuan's bowl.

Seeing him pick up the food and eat it, I started to eat it with relish.

Just kidding, this is her boss, of course she has to curry favor with him, otherwise it will be difficult for her to survive in this backyard.

They both had a good breakfast.

Shen Jingyi said in a tender voice: "My Lord, my waist is so sore that I can't walk at all."

As she spoke, she leaned gently against King Xuan, with a pitiful expression on her face.

When King Xuan saw her like this, he couldn't help laughing.

He patted her shoulder gently and comforted her: "Okay, stop pretending. I will accompany you to serve tea and will be back after serving tea."

Seeing that King Xuan had seen through her trick, Shen Jingyi smiled embarrassedly, but her goal was achieved.

It is customary to serve tea to the wife when a new bride enters the house, so you have to go.

When the two arrived at the main courtyard,

The princess and other fat and thin women in the backyard were already seated.

The whole hall was filled with fragrance and was very lively.

Shen Jingyi took light steps and followed King Xuan carefully.

As soon as her graceful figure entered the hall, she immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.

Everyone's eyes were as sharp as torches, filled with envy, jealousy, or disdain. All kinds of emotions intertwined together, as if to drown Shen Jingyi.

However, facing so many strange looks, she always remained calm, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

At this moment, Shen Jingyi was like a blooming flower, gorgeous and yet dignified and elegant.

Her beauty is like the brightest star in the night sky, impossible to ignore;

Her temperament is like the first ray of sunshine in the morning, warm, soft and full of vitality.

In this hall, she stood out with her uniqueness, attracting the attention of everyone present.

"I pay my respects to the prince,"

The princess, along with a few jealous concubines, came forward to greet him with graceful postures.

"Get up."

King Xuan waved his hand without even looking at them, walked past the crowd and sat down in the main seat.

The princess didn't care.

She was wearing a bright red brocade palace dress with dark patterns and sat back in her previous position with a gentle smile.

But his eyes were always on Shen Jingyi.

Concubine Su's eyes were filled with resentment, and the silk handkerchief in her hand was almost torn to pieces by her.

As for Concubine Li, Concubine Liu and others, they had complicated looks and different thoughts.

After everyone sat down,

King Xuan glanced at them, frowned slightly, looked at the princess and said in a deep voice: "Let's start."

The princess came back to her senses, but in her heart she felt the same as everyone else, wishing she could destroy her face.

Shen Jingyi saw all of this.

Her heart couldn't help but tighten, and she thought to herself: "It seems that I must be more careful in the future!

This backyard is really hard to deal with.

If your boss doesn't value you, even the servants will come and bully you.

Once your boss takes you seriously, you will become the target of public criticism and attack.”

Thinking of this, Shen Jingyi couldn't help feeling helpless and worried.

At this time, the maid next to her came over with a tray.

She picked up the teacup and her body froze.

Just as I was about to put down the teacup, the maid quickly collected the tray, turned around and walked away.

But, the soup in this teacup is so good, this... is this a show of force?

She wailed madly in her heart and wanted to throw the cup away.

But she couldn't, she had to hold it, kneeling respectfully on the cushion, raising the teacup high above her head in salute.

"I have met the princess. Please have some tea."

Chu Mengyao glanced at King Xuan, her face a little stiff, but she still said with all her strength: "From now on, we are all a family. You must get along well with your sisters, and don't be jealous and hurt the harmony."

Shen Jingyi gritted her teeth and said softly, "Yes, I will definitely keep it in mind."

As he said this, he glanced at King Xuan secretly, then moved his fingers.

Coincidentally, King Xuan also looked over at this time and saw her little action.

I saw those slender, jade-white fingers, with red fingertips.

King Xuan's face was completely dark now. He looked at the princess with disappointment in his eyes.

He said in a cold voice: "Princess, don't you want to drink this cup of tea?"

Chu Mengyao knew that she had been discovered!

However, she still chuckled, "Your Highness, you are joking. This is the tea my sister gave me. How can I not drink it?"

After saying that, she took the cup and took a sip.

Then quickly put down the teacup.

"Sister, get up!"

"Thank you, Princess."

Shen Jingyi thanked her and stood up with Chuntao's help. She quietly moved her red fingers to relieve the pain of the burns.

Then, Chu Mengyao took another box from Aunt Zhao's hand, handed it to Shen Jingyi, and said in a pretended affectionate tone, "Sister, just take good care of the prince and have children for him as soon as possible. If you have any grievances, you can come to me.

Also, I'm a lazy person, so you don't have to come here every day to pay your respects. Just come every five days."

Shen Jingyi took the box without even looking at what was inside.

She just said respectfully, "Yes, I've made note of it. Thank you, Princess, for your teachings."

At the same time, I felt relieved that I didn’t have to come here every day.

Then he half bowed to the concubine Su who looked unhappy.

"I've met Sister Su."

Concubine Su did not return the greeting and continued to sit there. She just said lightly: "Goodbye, I am not your sister."

This time King Xuan's brows furrowed even deeper.

Shen Jingyi didn't mind.

She didn't want to call him yet, since they were on the same level.

It's just because she came in first that I called her sister today, so I can save myself the trouble in the future.

At this time, Concubine Li and Concubine Liu also came up with three concubines to pay their respects.

"Meet Sister Shen."

Shen Jingyi looked at them briefly. They were all beauties in their own ways.

"Sisters, please stand up."

When the ceremony is over,

King Xuan didn't care about the expressions of the crowd. He stood up and strode away with Shen Jingyi.

As soon as the prince left, everyone looked at each other and said goodbye.

Facing the silence in the room, the princess was furious and swept the things on the table to the ground, cursing angrily: "This bitch, how dare she, this is a provocation to me..."

"princess......"

Nanny Zhao raised her hand and asked all the maids in the room to leave.

"Why! Why, Mammy, did you see that? The prince was protecting her like this for just one night, as if he was afraid that I would eat his precious baby."

Thinking of Shen Jingyi's appearance, she hated her even more. She raised her hand and took down two more vases and smashed them.

Seeing that the princess was getting more and more agitated, Nanny Zhao repeatedly advised: "Princess, you are the prince's legal wife, and you have the prince.

Even if she is a concubine, she is still a concubine. There is no good result from showing off your beauty."

When the princess heard what Nanny Zhao said, a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes.

She stopped what she was doing, calmed down, and slowly sat back in her chair. The veins on her forehead gradually faded away.

"Mammy, you are right. I am the prince's legal wife. I have a prince as his heir. Tell him to come back to the main courtyard for lunch at noon."

"Yes, Princess, I will pass on the message right away."

Seeing that the princess had calmed down, Nanny Zhao felt relieved and planned to go see the prince in person.

After Zhao Ma Ma left, she glanced at the four maids standing in a row - Hong Yin, Hong Yue, Hong Jin, and Hong Xiu, and softly instructed, "Go in and serve well."

"Yes, Mammy."

The four of them responded in unison.

After entering the room, they saw the messy floor. They did not call the maid to clean it as usual.

Instead, he rolled up his sleeves and started cleaning up.

While shaking off the broken porcelain pieces on the chair, Hong Yin occasionally looked up at the princess who was sitting in the main seat in a daze.

The princess looked pale and listless, and seemed to be in a bad mental state.

She secretly felt distressed, so she whispered to the princess, "Princess, why don't you go into the inner room and rest for a while? After all, you got up too early today."

The princess nodded slightly, then she slowly stood up and walked towards the inner room.

Upon seeing this, Hongyin and Hongyue hurried forward to serve, and carefully helped the princess into the inner room.

Hong Jin and Hong Xiu, who stayed in the outer room, continued to be busy tidying up the messy room.

They moved skillfully and quickly, putting the scattered items in order, and carefully sweeping up the broken porcelain on the ground with a broom.
