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

In the morning, Shen Jingyi opened her eyes and saw that King Xuan had woken up. She smiled and stood up with him.

After washing, Shen Jingyi changed into a light pink palace dress with light blue butterflies embroidered on the hem of her skirt, ready to fly. She wore a white gauze on the outside, and looked very elegant in the breeze.

When King Xuan saw her wearing palace clothes for the first time, he was stunned for a moment.

"How is it? Does it look good? This is my own design!" Shen Jingyi turned lightly, with the hem of her skirt fluttering like a dancing butterfly.

King Xuan came back to his senses, a flash of surprise in his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a gentle smile. He walked behind Shen Jingyi, gently hugged her slender waist, rested his chin on her shoulder, and whispered: "Very beautiful, very suitable for you."

When Chuntao and others saw this situation, they hurriedly retreated.

Shen Jingyi was delighted when she heard King Xuan's praise, and a faint blush appeared on her face. She turned around, winked playfully, then stood on tiptoes, pecked King Xuan's lips lightly, and then quickly stepped back.

"Hahahaha..." King Xuan laughed out loud at Shen Jingyi's actions, feeling happy. He reached out and grabbed Shen Jingyi's wrist, pulled her back into his arms, and threatened: "Little thing, I'll deal with you tonight."

Shen Jingyi giggled, broke free from King Xuan's embrace, and then pulled him to the dining table. After the two had breakfast, they went to the gate of the palace together.

When they arrived at the door, the princess had been waiting for a long time. She was wearing a bright red palace dress with dark patterns and brocade, which made her look noble and elegant. Her eyes fell on the hands of King Xuan and Shen Jingyi, and a hint of pain and displeasure flashed in her eyes. She quickly lowered her head to cover up the emotions in her eyes, smiled slightly, and took two steps forward to salute King Xuan.

"I have met the prince."

"Greetings, Princess." After seeing Chu Mengyao, Shen Jingyi quickly let go of King Xuan's hand and saluted.

"Everyone get up, it's almost time." After King Xuan said this, he glanced at Shen Jingyi.

"Yes"

Afterwards, the princess, supported by Hongyin, got on the front carriage first. Shen Jingyi and Chuntao got on the back one. King Xuan thought about it and felt that he should save face for the princess, so he also got on the front carriage.

The carriage rumbled towards the direction of the palace. No one spoke on the way. Shen Jingyi sat upright all the time, afraid that her skirt would get wrinkled. Chuntao also became nervous when she saw her master like this.

When they arrived at the palace gate, Chuntao and Hongyin stayed in the carriage because they were not allowed to enter the palace.

So only the three of them and a little palace maid waiting at the door entered on foot.

When they came to a fork in the road, King Xuan stopped and said to the two of them, "Go, I will come to pick you up later."

"Yes"

Chu Mengyao walked in front with a dignified manner, and Shen Jingyi followed her without looking away.

They followed the little palace maid into a magnificent palace.

After entering the hall, after some notifications, they finally stepped inside and saw the Concubine Shu sitting in the main seat.

There are faint fine lines at the corners of her eyes, but she still has her charm. One can imagine how stunning she was when she was young.

"The daughter-in-law greets the mother," Chu Mengyao took Shen Jingyi to kneel down and pay their respects to Concubine Shu who was sitting in the main seat.

Concubine Shu smiled kindly, first glanced at Shen Jingyi, and then said, "Get up, come and sit down."

The two of them sat down on the carved chairs next to them.

Then I heard Concubine Shu asked with a smile, "Why did you come so early today? Are you tired?"

Chu Mengyao smiled gently upon hearing this, and said respectfully: "Today, my daughter-in-law and my sister are here to pay respects to my mother, so we naturally cannot be late."

After hearing this, Concubine Shu looked at Shen Jingyi carefully. Her eyes were upright and clear, her temperament was like orchids, her skin was like cream, and she was as beautiful as peach and plum.

No wonder Xiaowu likes her. The people around him are all scheming or have ulterior motives. When they see someone with a pure mind, a noble temperament, and a beautiful appearance, they will definitely not be able to control themselves.

"Not bad, it's rare that Xiaowu agrees to go out with someone to serve you, you must serve well when you go with him, I will not treat you unfairly."

After hearing this, Shen Jingyi quickly stood up and expressed her opinion, "It is my blessing to be able to go out with the prince. I will definitely serve the prince well, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Concubine Shu nodded, "You are fine, don't be nervous, sit down!"

Then he turned around and continued talking to Chu Mengyao, and asked about the situation of the child and the palace.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking incessantly, as if they had forgotten about Shen Jingyi.

Shen Jingyi didn't mind and just pretended to be invisible, listening to their conversation.

I just don't dare to move when sitting, and my waist feels a little sore after sitting for a long time.

It was not until she heard someone come to announce that Prince Xuan had arrived that Shen Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief and moved while she stood up to salute.

"My son has met his mother."

"I've met the prince."

"I've met the prince."

The sound of greetings rose and fell between them.

"Get up, you came so quickly, are you afraid that I will bully them?"

Concubine Shu smiled and teased her son.

"Mother, you have wronged me. I came to see you. I will be out on business tomorrow, so I came to see you today."

King Xuan said this while looking at Shen Jingyi calmly.

"Forget it. I'll just believe you for now. You're my son after all. I'll believe whatever you say."

Let's have lunch here at noon, so that my palace can liven up a bit.

"If you hadn't told me, I would have shamelessly stayed to have dinner with you."

"But speaking of bustling, I heard that your place is quite lively recently. People come here to play cards every day, and sometimes there are two or three tables."

King Xuan ruthlessly exposed her scheme.

"Haha, isn't it that life in the palace is boring, so everyone wants to get together and have some fun, and it will be more lively."

Concubine Shu didn't mind her son's sabotage and continued speaking with a gentle smile.

"Mother, if you feel bored, how about I send Tingting to the palace to accompany you."

"Okay, I like that little girl very much, but I'm afraid you won't be willing to let her go."

"It is her blessing to be able to enter the palace to accompany you."

Concubine Shu agreed with a smile: "Okay, then send it in tomorrow!" She also knew the situation in Prince Xuan's mansion. She was not very reassured with having such a mother. It would be good for her future if the little girl followed her in the future.

They chatted for a while, but now it was Prince Xuan and Concubine Shu who were talking. Occasionally Chu Mengyao would interject a word or two, and Shen Jingyi would still listen quietly with a smile on her face.

At lunch, Shen Jingyi stood by and served the dishes like a little maid. It was not until King Xuan looked at her several times that Concubine Shu smiled and said, "Okay, sit down and eat together. Just show your appreciation. We are all family. I never treat my daughter-in-law harshly."

Chu Mengyao felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this. How could a concubine like her sound like a legitimate daughter-in-law? However, she was unhappy in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face. She had to flatter her, "Yes, you are the most open-minded mother-in-law. We are lucky to have met such a good mother-in-law."

Concubine Shu was very pleased with what she said, and said with a smile, "You are so sweet."

Shen Jingyi was also hungry. When she heard that she didn't have to serve the food herself, she quickly smiled and thanked, then actually sat down and started eating.

You know what, the food cooked by the chefs in this palace is delicious.
