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

Shen Jingyi smiled mysteriously, picked up an exquisite small jar and gently opened it. Suddenly, a fresh and tempting fruity fragrance came to her nose and filled the entire room.

She took the small bowl prepared nearby and slowly poured the liquid in the can into it, stopping only when the bowl was half full.

Then she handed the bowl to the prince with a smile.

The prince took the small bowl curiously and looked carefully at the light yellow clear liquid in the bowl, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

He sniffed it gently and asked uncertainly, "Is this peach wine?"

"Yeah! Try it."

Shen Jingyi smiled and looked at the prince expectantly, waiting for his reaction.

The prince took a sip carefully, and the sweet taste instantly spread in his mouth, with a faint aroma of wine, not strong at all, which made people linger in the aftertaste.

"How is it?" Shen Jingyi asked impatiently.

The prince's eyes lit up and he praised, "Very good! This wine has a mellow taste and moderate sweetness. It is really a rare fine wine."

Shen Jingyi smiled happily when she heard this, "I knew you would like it.

I brewed this myself, using the early-ripening peaches you sent me last time and the finest liquor."

After that, she opened the remaining jars one by one and poured out the contents.

Shen Jingyi looked at the cherries, loquats, bayberries and peaches in the small bowl and motioned for the prince to taste each one.

Although the prince was puzzled, he still tried a small piece of each. After tasting them, he was very satisfied with each fruit.

Shen Jingyi knew from the prince's expression that he still liked them, so she smiled and explained, "These are called canned food. I made them half a month ago. Although half a month has passed, they still taste delicious, don't they?"

Although the prince was puzzled, he still nodded honestly.

He didn't understand why Shen Jingyi would take out food that had been left for such a long time for him to taste, but the taste was indeed good.

Then, she continued, "I heard last time that many fruits grown by fruit farmers have gone bad before they can be sold.

Moreover, they don’t make much money every year.

So, I thought of fruit wine and canned food, which are more than just delicious.

Moreover, it is easy to make and has a long shelf life. As long as it is well sealed, it can be kept for several months without going bad.

If canned fruits and fruit wine are promoted, it will be easier for fruit farmers to sell their fruits.”

"If someone opens some workshops, then there will be people who will buy these fruits."

The more Shen Jingyi spoke, the brighter her eyes became, and the more excited her voice became.

After hearing this, the prince couldn't help but hug her.

He said gratefully: "Yier, you are right. If you are willing to share the recipe, I would like to thank you on behalf of the fruit farmers."

Shen Jingyi glared at him and said proudly, "I am the Crown Princess now. Isn't it my duty to think about the people?"

The prince laughed, "You are right, my princess."

Afterwards, Shen Jingyi handed the prince another thick stack of papers.

Inside is the technical school plan she compiled during this period, taking into account this dynasty.

The prince took it doubtfully and began to read it immediately.

As he read deeper, his eyes became brighter and brighter, filled with surprise and excitement.

Shen Jingyi looked at the prince with a smile, not disturbing him, but just waiting quietly for him to finish reading.

In fact, she had this idea as early as last year when she accompanied the Crown Prince, who was still King Xuan, on a business trip.

The people here take their skills very seriously and are reluctant to accept apprentices.

Many people want to learn a skill to make a living, but have no way to do so.

So, she thought of modern technical schools.

If it can be run smoothly, then the students who graduate from here in the future should have no problem making a living as long as they work hard.

Just as her thoughts were in turmoil, the prince finished reading what she had written, his eyes gleaming with surprise.

He excitedly pulled Shen Jingyi over, held her little face in his hands, and kissed her twice excitedly.

Then, he said happily: "Yier, what you wrote is very good! I will go and discuss it with my father now."

After saying that, he didn't even wait for Shen Jingyi to respond, and he couldn't wait to shout loudly outside the door: "Someone come!"

When Chuba heard the call, he quickly lowered his head and walked in quickly, bowing respectfully and saying, "Your Highness."

The prince pointed to the things on the table and ordered, "Take these with you and let's go to the imperial study."

"Yes!" Chuba replied respectfully.

He glanced across the ground and found an exquisite food box there, so he quickly walked over, picked it up and opened it.

Carefully put the small jars on the table into it one by one, making sure nothing was missed.

The prince touched Shen Jingyi's face and said gently, "You don't have to wait for me for dinner."

Shen Jingyi nodded slightly and replied with a smile: "I understand."

After the two figures disappeared, Shen Jingyi glanced at her portrait on the wall and a happy smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Then he walked briskly towards the courtyard.

The morning court on the second day was very lively. It was said that a minister came forward and begged the prince to expand his harem to increase the number of royal offspring.

The prince remained silent, and everyone mistakenly thought that his attitude had softened, and they all jumped out to agree.

As a result, the prince sneered, took out a thick stack of evidence from his sleeve, and had it read out in public.

Several people were frightened to death immediately, and the court was silent. They were all afraid that their own families would be mentioned. After all, every family doesn’t have a few unfilial descendants.

Therefore, after the evidence was read, some people were dismissed from their official positions, demoted, or exiled.

Some of the young men involved in the case were sentenced to prison, some were sent to exile, and some were even beheaded in public.

For a while, everyone was in danger, even the thugs on the street disappeared.

The court became surprisingly harmonious, and no one dared to mention the expansion of the harem anymore.

Of course, the benefits are more than that. When the prince proposed to establish technical schools across the country, everyone unanimously agreed and agreed.

Some people even made some constructive suggestions.

But when it came to recruiting female students, a few old stubborn people stood up to oppose it.

However, the prince did not get angry, but asked someone to pass a note to each of them.

Afterwards, those people turned pale and immediately shut their mouths, not daring to say anything more.

In the end, the prince won.

After hearing the whole story, Shen Jingyi felt that the prince's actions were brilliant.

The tactic of killing a chicken to scare the monkey is also used just right.

Let them talk nonsense, their own butts are not clean, and they are staring at other people’s backyards all day long. Now they are in trouble!

Apart from gloating, she had no sympathy for these people at all.

The emperor was very pleased to see that the prince could easily control these ministers.

That night, he was alone in the imperial study, thinking for a long time.

At the morning court session the next day, Eunuch Zhang was asked to read out the abdication edict.

The emperor's move shocked everyone. No one expected that the emperor, who was in good health, would suddenly decide to abdicate.
