During dinner, King Xuan walked in with a smile on his face.

"I don't know why, but whenever I come to eat at your place, I always want an extra bowl." King Xuan said to her with a smile.

"Hehe, that's because I'm delicious!" she answered jokingly.

"Hahahahaha, I'm just kidding. Is it because Your Highness has finished all the things he has on hand that you are in a good mood?"

"When you're in a good mood, you can always eat more." Shen Jingyi said with a smile.

"Maybe. You've heard about it, right?" King Xuan looked at her with a hint of relief in his tone.

"Yes, I know everything. The King of Wei has fallen, and Su Wan has now been demoted to an ordinary concubine." She walked over, hugged one of King Xuan's arms, and responded with a smile.

"Are you satisfied with the explanation I gave you?" King Xuan asked seriously while looking at the person beside him.

"I am very satisfied, thank you, Your Highness." Shen Jingyi said gratefully.

"There is one more thing I want to tell you." King Xuan suddenly became serious.

"What?" She looked at him nervously.

"It's just that I didn't let Su Wan move to the yard, and I left her small kitchen to her. This is mainly for the sake of the children. If I let it go all the way, I'm worried that someone will take advantage of me and bully Zimo and Tingting." King Xuan explained.

"I know, and I also think that the current situation is very good. The prince is really a good father." She smiled gently to show her understanding.

King Xuan nodded slightly to show his agreement, because compared with the people around him, he felt that he had done very well: "Thank you for your praise. Don't worry, if she doesn't change and remains as vicious as before, I will not let her go. As for the child, I will make arrangements for him when the time comes." His tone was firm and decisive, which made people feel at ease.

Shen Jingyi gently patted King Xuan's hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will pay attention to the two children. They are very good and I like them very much."

King Xuan looked at Shen Jingyi and smiled dotingly, "You are also very good."

After saying this, seeing Shen Jingyi's shy smile, King Xuan also laughed and told Shen Jingyi another good news.

"The mission to He County has been received and we will leave in three days."

Shen Jingyi's eyes widened in surprise, and she held King Xuan's arm tightly with both hands: "Really? That's great! Then I will bring people to pack your clothes tomorrow."

King Xuan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask Chujiu to come over tomorrow. If you need anything, just ask him."

Shen Jingyi replied happily: "Yes, I understand."

Dinner was served and the two sat down to enjoy it.

After dinner, Chujiu brought over some letters and memorials that needed to be dealt with urgently. The two went to the study, and King Xuan sat at the table to handle some government affairs.

Shen Jingyi sat quietly beside him, reading a book and keeping him company.

Time passed slowly, and King Xuan finally finished his work. He stretched himself and turned to look at her.

"Why do you sit here with me all the time? Aren't you tired?" he asked with concern.

"I'm not tired. I like accompanying the prince." Shen Jingyi replied softly.

"Haha, in that case, let's go out for a walk together." King Xuan suggested.

"Okay." She agreed happily, stood up and walked out of the room with King Xuan.

They strolled through the garden, enjoying the tranquility of the night, the moonlight shining on them, reflecting their figures leaning on each other.

The next morning, when the sun shone through the window into the room, Shen Jingyi slowly woke up from her sleep. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, stretched, and then slowly got up.

At this time, Chujiu was already waiting outside the door, ready to obey her orders at any time.

After Shen Jingyi finished washing up, she enjoyed a hearty breakfast. Afterwards, she led Nanny Qin and four maids, Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong, to the front yard, where King Xuan lived.

Entering the courtyard, a simple and solemn atmosphere hits you. The whole courtyard does not have too many gorgeous decorations, but it exudes a sense of calmness and grandeur. The green plants in the courtyard are neatly trimmed, green and fresh, and the stone road is clean and tidy, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

There are a few small tables and chairs in the corner of the yard for people to rest and chat.

On the left should be the study where official business is handled. There were two people guarding the door. When they saw them coming, they just lowered their heads and saluted from a distance. They did not look up or walk away. They were very loyal to their duties.

Shen Jingyi admired all this while walking, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "Although this place is not as luxurious as I imagined, it has a different kind of tranquility and solemnity."

Chujiu led them through an archway from the side and into the interior.

This courtyard is obviously much more exquisite than the one outside. Whether it is trees, flowers, or plants, rockery, flowing water, rocking chairs, tables and benches, you can see that they are all carefully arranged.

When you walk into the house, you can see a lot of Huanghuali furniture, which are antique and worth a lot of money.

There are also various porcelains and ornaments on the treasure pavilion, which are dazzling and dazzling. There is also an extra-large round glazed window in the room, through which sunlight shines, making the whole room particularly bright.

The most eye-catching thing is the gem-studded dagger hanging on the wall. It shines brightly and is obviously not an ordinary item.

However, the gorgeous decoration of this dagger does not seem to match King Xuan's temperament, but instead reveals a nouveau riche taste.

Shen Jingyi asked curiously: "Where did the prince buy this?"

After hearing Concubine Shen's question, Chujiu smiled and answered, "This was not bought by the prince, but was a birthday gift that the prince asked Concubine Shu for when he was a child! In fact, the prince only wanted an ordinary but sharp dagger at that time, but Concubine Shu was worried that the prince was too young and would accidentally hurt himself with the dagger, so she had someone specially make this exquisite unsharpened dagger. Unfortunately, the prince was not satisfied with such a fancy dagger, so he put it away. Later, when the prince opened his mansion, Concubine Shu ordered people to hang this dagger on the wall as a decoration."

"No wonder!" Shen Jingyi said with sudden enlightenment.

"I think it's pretty good. It's quite suitable to hang it here."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let me ask you, what does the prince usually bring when he goes out on business?" Shen Jingyi turned and looked at Chujiu.

Chujiu replied respectfully: "Your Highness brought very simple things, just a few simple clothes. If you need anything outside, you can go and buy it."

"In other words, you just need to take a few sets of clothes and wrap them in a bundle." Shen Jingyi asked.

"Yes." Chujiu nodded.

"Then who packed the clothes before?" Shen Jingyi continued to ask.

"It's the little one who cleans up."

"Aren't the princess and the others going to clean up for the prince?" Shen Jingyi frowned in confusion.

Chujiu explained, "At first, they were going to clean it up, but the prince said that it would be too much trouble if they were only gone for a few days. Later, there were more and more young ladies in the backyard, and the prince thought they were troublesome, so he rarely went back to the backyard. Even if he wanted to go out, he would just tell the princess and come and go in a hurry. After a long time, no one cared about it anymore."

Shen Jingyi muttered to herself that he deserved it, but she didn't dare say it out loud and could only think about it in her mind.
