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

After King Xuan and Shen Jingyi stepped out of the main courtyard, they did not return to Shen Jingyi's residence together.

The two parted ways halfway, and King Xuan went straight to his study to handle official business;

Shen Jingyi was also happy to have some free time. She admired the scenery in the mansion while strolling slowly back home with her maid.

When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he stopped, looked up and carefully looked at the three big words "Youlanyuan" hanging high on the door.

The three characters were written in a vigorous and powerful style, as if they contained endless profound meaning.

Stepping into this small and elegant courtyard.

The floor under your feet is paved with bluestone, and on both sides are planted with various flowers, plants and trees, full of vitality.

The main house faces south and is sunny. The high eaves, carved beams and painted buildings show the exquisite craftsmanship of ancient architecture.

The doors and windows are engraved with exquisite patterns that are lifelike, making people admire the ingenuity of the craftsmen.

The east and west wing rooms stand opposite each other, symmetrical and beautiful, revealing a kind of harmonious beauty.

Continue walking forward and you will arrive at the second courtyard.

This place may be for servants to live in, so although there are flowers, plants and trees, they are not as exquisite as the ones in the front.

After Shen Jingyi took a walk around the place where she lived, she planned to go back to her room and lie down for a while.

But just as he lay down, Nanny Qin called him up again.

"The people in the concubine's courtyard are waiting to greet you."

Shen Jingyi had no choice but to force herself to get up and go out again.

As soon as she sat down at the main seat, she heard the maids and servants below congratulating her in unison: "Congratulations, Madam Concubine! Greetings to Madam Concubine!"

"Okay, everyone, get up!"

Shen Jingyi smiled slightly, turned to Nanny Qin and said, "Madam, give rewards, all of them."

Nanny Qin replied, "Yes, Concubine."

Then, she continued, "In addition, there is one more matter that I need to trouble the concubine to decide.

According to the rules of the palace, each concubine can be equipped with a nanny, two first-class maids, four second-class maids and four small maids, and two servants are on standby to serve.

I wonder who the concubine is going to promote from among the existing maids around her to take up the position of a senior maid?"

After a brief thought, Shen Jingyi said, "Well... as for the first-class maids, then Chuntao and Xiazhu will be chosen!

As for the second-class maids, Qiuju and Dongmei can be appointed;

Then we picked out two maids from the ones we brought with us and named them Qiu Kui and Dong Xue.

As for the rest, you can handle it on your own.”

"Yes, Concubine, do the matters they were previously responsible for need to be changed?"

"No, I don't care about what I did before.

As for the two second-class maids who have just been promoted, you can arrange them for them, Madam."

Then she asked again, "Anything else? If not, then we can all go home."

Seeing that everyone was fine, Shen Jingyi planned to go back to her room and lie down.

Seeing this, Chuntao and Xiazhu hurried in to serve.

The sunlight shines into the house through the window, illuminating every corner of the room.

Su Wan was kneeling on a blanket, absent-mindedly accompanying her three-year-old daughter to play with building blocks.

Just when she was about to lose her patience, a little maid walked in quietly.

She walked quickly to the nanny nearby and whispered a few words in her ear.

A satisfied smile immediately appeared on the nanny's face, and she waved her hand to signal him to leave.

Afterwards, the nanny walked into the inner room with brisk steps and nodded slightly to Su Wan, indicating that the matter had been settled.

Su Wan, who had been looking gloomy all the time, finally smiled, with a calculating light flashing in her eyes.

"Hahaha, even if you are favored, so what? Without an heir, how long can you be so arrogant in this mansion?"

At this time, Xiao Tingting saw her mother smiling and relaxed.

Although her mother was playing with her, her face looked very bad and she was a little scared. Now she is finally feeling better.

So she pushed her newly built work in front of her mother like she was presenting a treasure, and said with great joy: "Mom, mom, look! This is the house we live in."

Su Wan came back to her senses and looked at what her daughter had built. She couldn't tell what it was, but she still said, "Tingting, you're awesome. It looks very similar!"

Hearing her mother's praise, Xiao Tingting danced with joy.

The cackling sound of laughter filled the whole house, indicating that more houses had to be built.

"Madam Zhang, Yueqin, Yueqi, you must discipline the servants in the courtyard in the next few days.

Let them stay in their rooms when they have nothing to do and not go out and wander around at will."

"As you command, Madam Concubine."

Seeing that no one was around, Yueqin lowered her voice and asked, "Concubine, did you notice that someone was about to take action again?"

"Haha, that new concubine is like a thorn in the eyes of some people right after she arrived."

"But she just married into the mansion."

Yueqi echoed.

The concubine sneered.

"What's the big deal? Just keep an eye on our people and don't get dragged into this."

"I understand. I'll keep it in mind." replied Nanny Zhang.

Then, she asked cautiously, "So do we need to give this new concubine a little warning?"

"No need, just observe for now."

The concubine recalled the scene when she served tea this morning, and said thoughtfully: "Maybe she has been prepared for it."

At this moment, Concubine Liu was also talking in her courtyard, but unlike other places, the atmosphere here was more relaxed and pleasant.

"Looking at the faces of those women this morning, it was such a relief."

"Yes, seeing how concerned the prince is, I'm sure this concubine is not someone you can easily mess with."

"Yun Xin, Yun Rui, have someone keep an eye on Concubine Shen at all times. If there's any movement over there, we can put the pregnancy on the agenda."

"Concubine, are you talking about the young master? Great, I will arrange it right away."

Yun Xin couldn't hide her excitement, and she ran out impatiently while speaking.

Nanny Li looked worried and said, "Slow down, don't let anyone notice anything."

"Know it"

Yun Xin's response came from outside the door.

Li Ma: "Concubine, ever since you had a miscarriage two years ago, we have been afraid to get pregnant again, for fear of becoming a target.

Now, seeing Concubine Shen's momentum, I think we can breathe a sigh of relief for now."

"Who says it's not true? Who could have expected that in a mere prince's mansion, the intensity of the intrigues and struggles would be no less than that of a battlefield filled with gunpowder."

Concubine Liu was filled with emotion, her eyes filled with helplessness and fatigue.

While recalling the backyard that was once bustling with people, Nanny Li lamented the passing of time. Now it has become much quieter, with empty yards appearing one after another.

She couldn't help but feel doubtful and wondered whether she should give Concubine Shen a reminder.

So he asked, "Should we remind Concubine Shen?"

"Of course, with her in front of me, I can live a comfortable life."

Concubine Liu answered without hesitation.

Then, she turned to Yunrui and instructed, "Yunrui, go and make some arrangements. As long as they ask about the situation in the mansion, tell them, but be careful not to expose ourselves."

"Yes, Concubine, I will go right away."

After Yunrui left, Nanny Li looked at her master with eyes full of helplessness.

From the first day he came to her side, she knew that he was a man without ambition, who only wanted to live his own life.

If she hadn't suffered a miscarriage two years ago, she would have given up on everything long ago.
