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

The carriage clattered forward, and the sound of wheels rolling and horses' hooves echoed on the silent road.

Shen Jingyi gently lifted a corner of the car curtain and looked out curiously.

The streets outside the window are bustling with people coming and going, and noise and bustle are heard one after another.

She saw all kinds of stalls on the roadside, and the stall owners were shouting their wares loudly to attract customers' attention.

The streets and alleys are filled with the aroma of various delicacies, making people salivate.

As the carriage moved forward, they soon arrived at the city gate.

As it was still early, there were relatively few people at the city gate, and the soldiers guarding the city were seriously and attentively checking the pedestrians and vehicles passing by.

"You can go now, next one."

"What's in your stuff?"

"This is the food that our family grows. We want to sell it for some silver."

The soldier opened it and took a look. Seeing that there was nothing special, he said, "You go, next one."

"Oh! Okay, thank you, sir."

At this time, Chuliu rode forward, took out a token from his arms and held it up to show it to the soldiers guarding the city.

After seeing this, the soldiers guarding the city immediately saluted and made way to allow the vehicles and troops to pass quickly.

Those who were still queuing for inspection looked with envy at the quickly departing carriage and the handsome man riding on the horse.

A little boy of about two or three years old with pigtails pulled the sleeve of the old man next to him and suddenly said, "Ah, grandpa, they haven't checked yet?"

The old man was so frightened that he immediately covered his grandson's mouth and said seriously, "Don't talk nonsense."

Then he quickly looked around and said, "Children are ignorant and talking nonsense."

Seeing that no one paid attention to them and everyone went to line up, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The child was also frightened by the old man and looked like he was about to cry.

The old man quickly coaxed her gently, "Don't cry, baby. When we get to the city, grandpa will buy you some candied haws."

As soon as the child heard about the candied haws, he felt better immediately.

After the carriage drove out of the city gate, the wheels rolled and the sound of horse hooves was crisp and pleasant, like a cheerful piece of music.

Outside the car window, the morning sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled light and shadows, making people feel extremely comfortable.

Shen Jingyi sat in the car, lifted the curtains, and looked at the scenery outside the window that was constantly receding.

From time to time, other horse-drawn or ox-drawn carts passed by them outside. Some of these vehicles were fully loaded with goods, while others were carrying families, young and old, and everyone had a smile on their face.

On both sides of the road, lush trees are like green barriers, separating people from the outside world.

In the fields, the rice ears that have not yet turned yellow are hanging their heads heavily, as if telling the earth the joy of the harvest.

Although the wild flowers and weeds on the roadside are inconspicuous, they are also part of nature and have their own unique beauty.

In the distance, the mountains are rolling, like a magnificent picture scroll unfolding before your eyes.

The air is filled with the scent of grass, and the breeze blows gently on your face, bringing a cool feeling.

Shen Jingyi closed her eyes and quietly felt the beauty of nature, feeling particularly relaxed.

At this time, Nanny Qin gently pulled open a small table in the carriage, took out several plates of snacks from the food box next to it, and placed them neatly on the table.

Then, she carefully poured half a cup of tea and handed it to Shen Jingyi, fearing that the tea would splash out and stain her clothes.

Shen Jingyi took the teacup, took a sip, and the fragrance of tea filled the air, making her feel relaxed and happy.

Then she picked up a piece of rose pastry and put it in her mouth. The crispy crust and sweet filling left her with an unforgettable aftertaste.

She took another sip of the hot tea and felt refreshed all over.

However, she only dared to eat a small piece and didn't dare drink too much water because she was worried about having to go to the toilet on the way, which would be inconvenient and embarrassing.

Nanny Qin seemed to see her concerns and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Concubine, we are taking the official road, which is a flat road all the way.

When we get off the bus to rest, we can find a deserted place and build a simple hut with cloth so we can go in and change clothes when we fall down. "

Shen Jingyi nodded. She seemed to have seen this operation on TV.

But she still didn't eat too much.

She kept looking outside with great interest, and asked Nanny Qin if she knew anyone.

She grew up in the city and knew very little about agricultural crops.

"Mammy, is that rice?"

"Haha~ Concubine, that's wheat."

"what is that."

Nanny Qin looked in the direction of Shen Jingyi's finger, then smiled and said, "Those are potatoes."

“Oh, that’s a potato!”

Shen Jingyi was in a good mood along the way and carefully remembered what she saw on the road.

At noon, the carriage stopped by a river.

When Shen Jingyi opened the car door and came out, she saw King Xuan had already dismounted and was waiting beside the car. The two smiled at each other.

Then King Xuan reached out and helped her get off the carriage.

Nanny Qin was helped out of the car by Chuntao and Qiuju who were also waiting by the car.

Then the three of them went to work.

King Xuan held Shen Jingyi's hand and walked casually, stretching his muscles.

"Are you tired?" King Xuan asked gently.

Shen Jingyi smiled and replied, "Not tired, the scenery along the way is beautiful, and Nanny Qin also introduced the things she saw along the way, so it was not boring."

"That's good, we'll set up a pot here to cook at noon."

Shen Jingyi looked at the busy people and the rivers, mountains and trees in front of her, and felt that this was really a good place for a picnic.

After a while, Nanny Qin and Chuba came over from a distance.

The two of them built a simple toilet with cloth in a relatively private place and placed a toilet inside.

Nanny Qin walked to Shen Jingyi's side and whispered a few words to her in her ear.

Shen Jingyi's eyes lit up, and she told King Xuan that she was going to change her clothes. Then she took Nanny Qin and called Chuntao and Qiuju who were preparing food, and went to the newly built toilet.

King Xuan looked at Shen Jingyi's brisk steps and chuckled, then went to the river.

After Shen Jingyi and the others took turns going in to solve their physical problems, they walked back feeling refreshed.

Nanny Qin, Chuntao and Qiuju went to cook.

Shen Jingyi walked towards King Xuan who was standing by the river, with his arms folded, watching the palace soldiers catching fish.

Shen Jingyi walked over and saw someone staring at the water intently, with sharp eyes and agile movements.

When a big fish jumped out of the water, he quickly thrust the wooden fork into the water and accurately stabbed the fish.

On the other side, someone also said, "Big Head, there's a big one behind you, don't move, it's mine."

Big Head really didn't move after hearing that. A man next to him quickly thrust the sword in his hand into the water. When he picked it up, there was a big fish on it, still swinging.

After seeing this, Big Head cursed, "You almost stuck your foot into my foot."

"No, I'm watching!"

At this time, a man walked out of the water, holding a big fish tightly in his hand. He walked and said proudly: "You guys have stabbed all the fish to pieces, but look at mine, it's intact and alive and kicking, this is good!"

Someone replied nonchalantly, "They are all going to be killed, so let them rot!"

Shen Jingyi looked at him in amazement, "Is it so easy to catch fish?"

King Xuan smiled and replied, "This requires skill."

Then he asked, "How do you want to eat?"

Shen Jingyi originally wanted to drink fish soup, but after thinking about it, she said, "Then let's have braised food!"

"Okay, then we'll cook one into soup and braise the other."

"Okay."

Shen Jingyi couldn't help but smiled sweetly.

Chuba, who was standing nearby, heard what happened and picked up the two fish quickly, killed them, washed them in the river, and went to look for Qiuju.

After a while, the people who were fishing in the water also came ashore.

After happily processing the twenty or so fish they caught, they walked towards the kitchen.

Since there was nothing exciting to see here, King Xuan took Shen Jingyi to find a cooler place to sit down and rest.

Shen Jingyi leaned on King Xuan's shoulder, looked at the river and suddenly asked, "Your Majesty, do you still remember what you promised me that you didn't fulfill?"

King Xuan was really stumped by the question for a moment, until he saw the little fish swimming in the water and suddenly remembered, then he said lovingly: "How come you're still thinking about fishing when you already have fish to eat today!"

Then he smiled and said, "Don't worry, remember it! I'll take you there when I have time."

"It's okay if you forget. I will remind you." Shen Jingyi said proudly. She remembered it.

The two chatted casually, looking at the scenery in the distance and the flowing river, and soon the fragrance of fish wafted over.

Someone couldn't help but walked to Qiuju's stove and said flatteringly: "Miss Qiuju, your fish cooking is so good, can you teach us?"

Qiu Ju agreed without hesitation, "Of course, wait for me for a while."

After Qiuju finished speaking, she asked Chuntao next to her to help watch the fish in the pot. The fish needed to be cooked over low heat for a while so that it would be flavorful.

Then I took the seasonings and taught them how to make it.
