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

In the outer courtyard, King Xuan had woken up by now. He sat on the bed and drank the sobering soup that Qiu Kui had brought him.

While listening to Chuba and Chujiu kneeling there, reporting about Aunt Bai.

He was very upset and threw the bowl on the small table next to him after drinking.

He was almost depressed. Why did everyone want to take advantage of him when he was drunk? It was totally unreasonable.

"Next time, if I get drunk again, just send me directly to the concubine! You are really unreliable." King Xuan said angrily.

"Yes, Your Highness." Chujiu responded respectfully. They also felt aggrieved.

Who could have thought that Aunt Bai would climb through the window in broad daylight!

"Get up and bring her in!" King Xuan waved his hand, signaling them to get up.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The ninth and eighth days felt relieved and stood up quickly.

They thought the matter was over, but King Xuan said, "Go and get twenty military sticks yourself tonight."

The two were stunned and their faces turned ugly in an instant.

They were glad to have escaped, but they didn't expect that they would not be able to escape punishment in the end.

They could only respond "yes" helplessly, as if they could already feel the pain in their buttocks.

King Xuan felt a dull pain in his head. He closed his eyes and gently rubbed his temples with his fingers, trying to relieve the headache.

He didn't open his eyes until he heard soft sobbing.

"Wuwu~~Prince, I didn't mean it, I just heard that you were drunk.

They didn't let me in, and I was just too worried about you, so I wanted to take a look at you from the window."

A trace of deep disgust flashed across King Xuan's eyes, and he spoke in a low and cold voice: "Tell the truth."

Just three simple words made Bai Zhi's body tremble involuntarily.

She lowered her head with a flickering gaze, and finally replied cautiously: "I just want to... want to come and see the prince."

King Xuan frowned slightly, seemingly dissatisfied with Bai Zhi's answer.

But he did not get angry, instead he said coldly: “I will give you two choices now. First, I will give you enough money to live on, and then send someone to send you home.

Second, I will send you to Shuiyue Temple and let you spend the rest of your life there."

Bai Zhi was struck by lightning when she heard this. Was he sending her away? But why?

She looked at King Xuan in disbelief, tears streaming down her face. She asked in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty...is there no third choice?"

But I just want to stay with you, I don’t want to go out.

Please don't chase me away, I promise I will be obedient in the future."

However, King Xuan responded firmly: "No, you must leave."

"Wow, wow, wow..." Bai Zhi burst into tears after hearing this.

Tears also kept pouring out like a flood that broke through the dam.

King Xuan looked at her quietly and did not urge her to make a decision.

He knew she was a smart person and believed that she would make a wise choice in the end.

Sure enough, after waiting for a while, Bai Zhi's crying gradually stopped, leaving only occasional sobs.

She wiped the tears from her eyes with her hands, then choked up and said, "I've made up my mind. I choose the first one."

She took a deep breath and seemed to have made up her mind.

King Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly and said calmly, "Tell me first."

Bai Zhi bit her lip, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes, "I don't want to go back, I hope you can set up a female household for me and give me a safe farm.

Of course I want money too.”

King Xuan was a little surprised, and for the first time there was a hint of admiration in his eyes for this woman.

But he still asked, "Are you going to cut off contact with your family?"

Bai Zhi nodded, with a hint of determination in her voice, "Yes, I can't go back. If I go back, they will definitely confiscate my property and may even sell me off again."

King Xuan was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, I will help you erase your tracks and announce to the public that you are dead."

When Bai Zhi heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she kowtowed quickly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Then, he asked cautiously, "Can I take the maid in my courtyard with me?"

King Xuan glanced at her and said calmly, "Sure, as long as they are willing."

Bai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, I understand."

"Chujiu, go talk to Chuyi and let him handle this matter." King Xuan ordered Chujiu.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chujiu replied.

Then, King Xuan waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please leave! I will take a rest for a while."

Everyone responded in unison, "Yes, Your Highness," and then left the room.
