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

The eighteenth day of the first lunar month is the baby’s baptism ceremony.

King Xuan woke up early in the morning and went to the morning court. The court had just begun and there were still many things that needed to be dealt with.

Since there was no hostess in the Shen Mansion, no one came to the backyard to visit Shen Jingyi, but several carts of gifts were sent.

Shen Jingyi fed the child well early in the morning, wrapped him in a bright red blanket, and waited for the ceremony to begin.

Shen Jingyi had just finished her breakfast when someone came to report that Princess Cheng had arrived.

Shen Jingyi smiled and said, "Please come in."

Princess Cheng was invited by Shen Jingyi to entertain today's guests.

Although it is not a big event, if there are guests coming to the backyard, there must be someone to entertain them.

Last time at Xiao Zirui's baptism ceremony, Shen Jingyi had a very good impression of Princess Cheng.

She felt that Princess Cheng was very generous, cheerful and sensible.

Therefore, King Xuan was specifically asked to tell King Cheng to invite Princess Cheng to come and help entertain the guests.

I didn't want her to come so early.

After a while, Princess Cheng came in with a smile, "Good morning, Sister-in-law Xiaowu!"

Shen Jingyi also looked at the beauty who came in and said with a smile: "Why are you here so early? Have you had breakfast? I'll have someone bring you one."

The other party smiled and replied: "Don't bother, I came here after eating at home."

"Let me see our protagonist today."

Princess Cheng came over with a smile, and Chuntao immediately placed a chair in front of the bed.

Princess Cheng first glanced at the child, and when she saw that he was awake, she gently picked him up.

Then she slowly sat down on the chair, feeling more and more cheerful.

"Our Ziyang is so beautiful. I wonder how many people he will charm when he grows up."

Shen Jingyi couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, "It's not as exaggerated as you say. If you praise him like this, he will be proud."

"Okay, then we won't brag about it."

Princess Cheng smiled slightly, turned to the maid beside her and said, "Nan'er, bring me the things I gave to my nephew."

"Princess," Nan'er immediately respectfully presented the purple brocade box in her hands with both hands.

Princess Cheng took the box and slowly opened it. Inside lay a beautifully carved jade pendant.

She carefully took out the jade pendant and gently placed it on Xiao Ziyang's soft blanket with a warm smile on her face.

"Does Ziyang like it?"

Her voice was as gentle as the spring breeze. "This is a special gift from Uncle Six and Aunt Six."

Seeing this, Shen Jingyi hurriedly said, "This is too expensive. How can a baby like him use this?"

"It's okay, just put it away for him to use when he grows up."

Princess Cheng's face was full of smiles and her eyes were full of love.

After hearing this, Shen Jingyi smiled faintly, but did not continue to dwell on this issue. Instead, she said sincerely, "Thank you for your hard work today.

There is no one in our house who can take charge of things right now."

Princess Cheng waved her hands and said, "Sister-in-law Xiaowu, you are being too polite. I am so happy that you thought of me!

I am a person who loves being in a crowd. You have come to the right person.

Don't worry, I will make you feel at home today."

Then, she asked curiously, "I just wonder who you have invited today and how many tables are you going to set up?"

Shen Jingyi smiled and replied: "The prince and I both think it's not appropriate to be too ostentatious now, so we simply invited some relatives and friends.

There were only ten tables in the backyard.”

Princess Cheng pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Sister-in-law Xiaowu, ten tables may not be enough.

You may have overlooked an important point.”

Shen Jingyi looked at her in confusion, "What?"

Seeing that she hadn't expected it, Princess Cheng analyzed it carefully for her, "Things are different now than they were in the past. Have you ever thought that maybe someone would come uninvited?"

Shen Jingyi was stunned, "This... I really haven't thought about it."

She realized she had overlooked this possibility.

After all, King Xuan has now become the popular candidate for crown prince.

The baby's baptism ceremony undoubtedly provides a great opportunity for those who want to please or curry favor with others.

Thinking of this, Shen Jingyi looked at Princess Cheng and humbly asked, "I don't have much experience in this, do you think adding fifty tables will be enough?

Fifty in the outer courtyard and fifty in the back courtyard. "

Princess Cheng thought for a moment and replied, "That should be about right! I have never encountered such a situation before. It never hurts to have more prepared."

Shen Jingyi nodded, and then said to Chuntao beside her: "Chuntao, go and tell the housekeeper to prepare a hundred tables and all the necessary things."

"Yes, concubine."

Chuntao turned around and left quickly.

Afterwards, Shen Jingyi called Xia Zhu, Qiu Ju, Qiu Kui, Dong Mei and Dong Xue.

"The five of you plus Chun Tao will follow Princess Cheng today and obey her orders."

"Yes, concubine." The five people accepted the order.

Then, Xia Zhu said with concern: "Concubine, you only have Nanny and Chunliu by your side. What if something happens? Why don't you leave someone else to serve you?"

Shen Jingyi smiled and said, "I'm in confinement after giving birth. What can happen? Besides, isn't Ling'er still in the hospital? You can rest assured."

"OK then!"
