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

Shen Jingyi got up late again the next day. Today was the fifteenth day of the lunar month. Fortunately, the princess was under house arrest and did not need to pay a visit.

I was in a good mood and stayed in bed for a while, thinking about what King Xuan said last night.

"He County... I seem to have seen this place in a book. But I don't remember the details very clearly."

So she quickly got up and washed up, then ran to the study impatiently to look for the geography books she had read before.

Nanny Qin looked at her master who rushed into the study room and hurriedly called out, "Concubine, please eat something first."

"No, let's eat it with lunch later!"

After arriving at the study, he looked at the bookshelf and asked Chuntao who followed him in, "Where did you put the geography books I finished reading?"

"Here!" Chuntao walked to the bookshelf, squatted down, took out a few books from the bottom shelf on the left, and placed them on the table next to her.

"Concubine, what are you looking for? I will help you find it."

"Looking for He County, I've read it before, but I forgot which book it was."

The two of them looked through the books one by one, and after a while Qiuju, Xiazhu and Dongmei also joined in.

Finally, before lunch, I found the records about He County.

He County is located in the jurisdiction of Anshan Prefecture and is a relatively large county. The terrain there is flat, mainly plains, with fewer mountains and hills. In addition, the county has many rivers and abundant water resources.

However, every rainy season, the river floods, submerging a large amount of land and seriously affecting the local crop yields.

These are all summarized by Shen Jingyi from the contents of the book.

Based on the above information, did King Xuan go to build a dam?

Shen Jingyi sat there in deep thought, and the others did not dare to disturb him. They didn't know why their master was suddenly interested in He County.

After lunch, Shen Jingyi called seven people including Nanny Qin, Chuntao, Xiazhu, Qiuju, Qiukui, Dongmei and Dongxue.

"I will be going on a long journey with the prince in a few days. Nanny, Chuntao, and Qiuju, you three will go with me. The rest of you should stay at home and take care of the house."

"Concubine, why don't you take two people with you? You'll be out in the open and have to sleep in the open air. I'm afraid that not enough people can take good care of you." Xia Zhu said worriedly.

Shen Jingyi said in a good mood: "The prince is going on an errand, so we should travel light and not bring too many people."

After thinking for a while, he said to Xia Zhu, "After we go out, Xia Zhu, you must keep an eye on the people below. Don't let them run around for no reason. Guard our yard. If you encounter problems that cannot be solved, go find the prince's people."

"Yes, Concubine, I understand." Although she also wanted to go, but now that the Concubine had given her the task of looking after the house, she would definitely take good care of the house.

Shen Jingyi glanced at everyone and asked, "Do you have anything else to say now?"

After seeing everyone shaking their heads, Shen Jingyi said to Qiu Kui, "Qiu Kui, go outside and see if there is anything important happening in the court today. The rest of you go and help me pack the boxes I need to take with me when I go out."

"Yes, concubine."

......

Shen Jingyi was picking out clothes at her feet. When she looked up, she saw the 'Scarlet Embroidered Silk and Amaranthus Grass Wide Sleeve Double Silk Long Skirt' that Dongmei took out and quickly stopped her and said, "Don't bring that skirt. Just bring something simple and convenient when you go out."

After hearing this, Nanny Qin smiled and advised, "Concubine, you should still bring a few. When you and the prince go out, the local officials will definitely hold a welcoming banquet for the prince. You can't wear too plain clothes then."

Shen Jingyi thought it made sense, so she said, "Then bring less, two sets will be enough! And bring me two sets of riding clothes."

"Okay, concubine."

So Dongmei put a set of rose-colored Liuxian skirt, a set of white jacquard chiffon flower soft satin skirt, a set of bright blue chiffon embroidered disc pattern Guangxiu skirt, two sets of riding clothes, some plain skirts for daily wear and a stack of silk handkerchiefs into the box.

After seeing this, Xia Zhu found the corresponding jewelry and accessories.

Nanny Qin ordered someone to bring in a few boxes and put sheets, quilts and pillows inside.

Qiuju brought two sets of tea sets and the tea she usually drinks.

Chuntao also went to the study and took out a few books she hadn't read yet.

After all the trimming down, seven boxes were finally filled, and these were just Shen Jingyi's things.

"Do you need to bring so much?" Is it so troublesome to go out?

Nanny Qin replied gently: "These are all useful. If I were to ask you, this is still not enough."

Chun Tao smiled and said, "It's okay, Ma'am. If it's not enough, we can go buy more when the time comes."

Nanny Qin laughed and scolded: "You are dreaming, you want to go out and have fun!"

"We'll talk about that later. Now let's see if there's anything we've missed."

"Did I bring my riding clothes?"

"I brought it and put it in a box." Dongmei replied.

"What about the shoes!"

"Oh, I forgot my shoes. I'll go get them now."

Nanny Qin: "I told you to be more careful and check quickly to see if there's anything missing."

At this time, Qiu Kui, who had gone out to gather information, came back, sweating profusely.

As soon as she entered the room, Nanny Qin scolded, "Why are you running? Where are your rules?"

Qiu Kui didn't care what Nanny Qin said at this time, and said with a heavy breath: "Concubine, something happened."

When everyone heard this, they immediately put down what they were doing and looked at Qiu Kui, waiting for her next words.

Shen Jingyi: "What happened? Wait until you catch your breath."

Qiu Kui drank some water, calmed down his breath, and then said, "The King of Wei has been deposed and imprisoned in the King of Wei's mansion."

"say clearly."

“It’s being rumored that at the morning court today, King Cheng accused King Wei of plotting to murder King Cheng’s children and concubines, and then King Qi also stood up and accused King Wei of instigating a fight in the backyard of King Qi’s mansion and plotting to murder his children.

Then the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery accused the King of Wei of usurping the family property through his concubine's son and killing his biological mother.

There was also Ling Guo who announced that the King of Wei had killed his youngest son.

The evidence was irrefutable, and the staff of the Prince of Wei's palace all admitted it. The emperor was furious, and the Prince of Wei was beaten with 50 sticks, demoted to a commoner, and sentenced to guard the imperial mausoleum, and his property was confiscated."

After hearing this, everyone fell silent. This was really a big deal.

Dongmei: "No wonder the princely palaces have so few offspring. It turns out that the King of Wei is behind this."

"The youngest son of the Duke Ling died many years ago. I heard it was an accident."

"Yeah, I didn't expect that he was murdered."

"Humph, this King Wei is too evil, he deserves his current fate."

Nanny Qin saw that they were talking to each other.

He quickly stopped them and said, "Shut up, don't forget where this is. Hurry up and clean up all this. It's such a mess."

After being scolded by Nanny Qin, several people didn't dare to speak anymore. They all shrank their necks and quickened their hand movements, not daring to make a sound.

Shen Jingyi didn't say much, just smiled. She also felt that it was better not to discuss it casually. After all, he was the emperor's son, so they should be careful about what they said.
