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

"Concubine, you should get up! Chujiu, who is beside the prince, came to tell him that the prince will come over for lunch later."

Shen Jingyi was just immersed in the nightmare of returning to the modern era.

I finally came up with a plan, but my boss was not satisfied.

Not only did he reprimand her, he even wanted to deduct her salary.

When she was feeling depressed,

Suddenly I heard the amiable voice of Nanny Qin and was instantly awakened from my dream.

He turned over and sat up.

He glanced at the surroundings, put his hands tightly over his heart, and muttered to himself: "Oh my god, I'm glad you're back. I was scared to death."

Nanny Qin saw the look on her concubine's face and knew that she was having a nightmare.

I quickly patted his back gently and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, it's just a nightmare. Now you're awake and nothing's wrong.

Ask the kitchen to make a bowl of soothing soup for you to drink later, and you'll be fine."

"Hehehe..., Ma'am, don't worry, I'm fine and don't need to drink the calming soup.

I seemed to have heard you mention that the prince would be coming for lunch, right? Then we have to get up quickly."

Shen Jingyi diverted Nanny Qin's attention, not wanting to be asked about the content of her dream.

“Yes, seeing how bad my memory is, we should get up now, or the prince will be here soon.

Oh, and Chujiu also sent a bottle of burn ointment, saying it was given by the prince to the concubine. "

Then he took out the bottle of ointment and asked in confusion, "Why did the prince send this bottle of medicine over? Concubine, are you injured?"

Seeing that Nanny Qin was nervous, Shen Jingyi had to tell her again what happened during the tea ceremony.

After hearing this, Nanny Qin wiped her tears with heartache, but Shen Jingyi said that it was okay and stretched out her healed hand to her. Only after she looked at it did she feel better.

Then he stepped aside to allow Xia Zhu and Dong Mei to wash and dress up again.

However, she herself was talking to herself on and on.

"Concubine, I just asked,

On the second day of our mansion, the prince accompanied us to the main courtyard to have tea, but you were the only one.

Also, you were the first one to come for lunch the next day."

Shen Jingyi didn't seem very happy.

Sitting in front of the dressing mirror and letting Xia Zhu comb her hair again, she said thoughtfully: "Isn't this too high-profile? Women's jealousy is terrible.

And I feel like there aren't enough women in the main courtyard today, so I'll ask someone to find out."

When Nanny Qin heard her master say this, she thought so too.

After all, it is a prince's backyard, how could there be only these few women!

Just look at their master, who is also the Minister of Rites, and he has several concubines!

So he bowed and left, then hurried out to make arrangements.

After Shen Jingyi came out of the inner room, she held a geography book that she had not finished reading.

He asked people to set up tables, chairs and snacks under the big tree in the yard, and he read leisurely while waiting for King Xuan to come.

Such a leisurely and comfortable life is really too comfortable and pleasant for a social animal who is busy with work all day.

But for a person who is addicted to his mobile phone, it is very unusual to be without a mobile phone or a TV.

After watching for a while, I felt a shadow above my head.

When he looked up, he saw the handsome face of King Xuan and thought, "He arrived so quickly! It's not even time for dinner yet!"

Then, she raised the corner of her mouth and called out softly, "Your Majesty."

Then, she glanced at the maids and servants standing aside with their heads lowered, wondering why no one had announced that the prince had arrived.

But now is not the time to worry about this, so put down the book in your hand, stand up and salute.

"No need to salute, what book are you reading?"

As King Xuan spoke, he sat down on the chair that the servants had just placed there.

He picked up the book on the table and flipped through a few pages.

King Xuan raised his eyebrows.

He looked at Shen Jingyi who had sat down again with a slightly teasing look in his eyes, and said with a smile: "I originally thought that you were reading those romantic books."

As he spoke, he deliberately glanced at Shen Jingyi's fingers. Seeing that the fingers had returned to their jade-white color, he withdrew his gaze.

Shen Jingyi didn't notice the look in King Xuan's eyes. She just smiled and responded, "I have already read those books.

It doesn't feel like there's much new.

It's nothing more than a cliché story between a poor scholar and a rich lady, some of which are not reasonable.

Everything I write is better than that.”

"Oh, quite confident."

King Xuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and looked at the petite woman in front of him with interest.

He thought to himself, "This little girl is quite interesting..."

"Hehe...Hehe, I was just saying it casually, Your Majesty, please don't take it seriously!"

She waved her hands hurriedly, fearing that King Xuan would ask her to write it for him.

She is not good at writing with that soft brush.

More importantly, she doesn't want to use her brain at all now.

"Really?...But it sounds like you like reading."

King Xuan keenly realized that his concubine must have read a lot of books.

Shen Jingyi blinked her bright eyes and said something a little different from what King Xuan had thought.

“I couldn’t go out at home, so I could only read books when I was bored, and gradually I started to like it.

What I like to read most now are books about mountains, rivers, geography, and some miscellaneous notes.

I feel like these are much more interesting than the usual storybooks!"

“Since you like it, I have a study room in my front yard that is dedicated to collecting this kind of books.

There is a rich collection of books inside, which should be able to meet your needs.

I can take you there later to pick out a few books you might be interested in." King Xuan said generously with a smile.

When Shen Jingyi heard this, she almost jumped up with excitement.

"Really? That's great!

Thank you, Your Majesty! I just happened to have finished reading all the books I had.

A few days ago, I sent someone to the bookstore to look for new books, but I couldn’t find a suitable one.”

The books that could enter King Xuan's study were not bad at all.

But there is a study room, so she won’t have to ask others to look for it everywhere anymore!

"You're just saying thank you, but it's so insincere?"

King Xuan looked at the happy person in front of him and smiled evilly.

Shen Jingyi's beautiful eyes moved, and after looking around at the people around her,

He raised his hand and waved it gently, signaling them all to leave.

"You all get out."

Chujiu, who was beside the prince, first looked at her prince cautiously.

After getting the prince's nod of approval, he left the yard with Nanny Qin and others.

After everyone left,

Shen Jingyi then deliberately blushed, lowered her voice, and said seductively in King Xuan's ear: "Then...how about...paying with your body?"

King Xuan did not understand the meaning of her words at first.

After a long while, a burst of hearty laughter suddenly came.

Shen Jingyi pretended to be shy, blushing and lowering her head slightly.

But what I was thinking was: "Are you happy now? You are so sincere. Humph, are you afraid that I can't handle you?"

Those who retreated outside the courtyard,

Hearing the prince's laughter, they exchanged glances.

This concubine is really capable. She can actually make the prince so happy.

However, what they didn't know was that the prince's good mood for the day was about to run out.

At this time, Qiu Ju saw a woman leading two maids and carrying meal boxes coming over.

So he had no choice but to walk in and bow, saying, "Your Majesty, Concubine, lunch is ready."

"Then let's set the table."

After King Xuan finished speaking, he stood up.

He personally helped Shen Jingyi up and whispered in her ear, "Don't forget it tonight."

This time the tips of her ears also turned red, mainly because her ears are more sensitive.

“Hehe..Hehe…”

I didn't know how to respond except to laugh dryly, and I accidentally got myself involved.

King Xuan didn't mind. He put his arm around her waist and they walked towards the flower hall.

Qiu Ju hurried forward to help set the table, but her expression became more serious the more she worked.

Before the person delivering the meal left, Qiu Zhu spoke up first, "Prince, Concubine, there is something wrong with this dish."

The three people delivering the meal were shocked when they heard this.

She immediately knelt down and said, "Your Highness, please understand. This meal was brought all the way from the kitchen by three servants of mine. We were not delayed on the way. How could there be any problem?

Even if we were given a hundred courages, we wouldn't dare to do that."

King Xuan's good mood disappeared in an instant.

He glanced at everyone in the room, then turned his gaze to Shen Jingyi.

Shen Jingyi was calm.

Not at all, she knew someone was trying to harm her, she was nervous and scared,

She said with a bit of pride: "Your Highness, Qiuju was specially begged by my grandfather to train her before my mother passed away.

She understands pharmacology and is quite sensitive to poisons.”

"Go, take a closer look!"

King Xuan suppressed his anger and wanted to see what Qiu Ju was capable of.

"Yes, Your Majesty"

Qiuju walked forward and checked each dish carefully.

"Your Majesty, the seasonings in the chicken soup and fish have been tampered with.

There are drugs that counteract each other. If taken for a long time, it can make women infertile for life.

There is also a poison in the dish of bamboo shoots called Beauty Drunk for Three Days.

There will be no immediate reaction after consumption. On the contrary, your face will become rosy and your complexion will be very good within three days.

After three days, you will slowly start to feel weak, your internal organs will start to fail, and you will eventually die.”

Qiuju reported her findings in a calm tone.

After hearing Qiuju's words, King Xuan sneered and said, "Haha, I didn't expect our palace to be so lively. It really is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers!"

Was this poisoning in front of him? Was it a deliberate slap in his face? Or did they think he couldn't find out?

In fact, King Xuan misunderstood the person who poisoned him.

They had never thought that King Xuan would come here for lunch today.

In the past, the second day after taking a concubine, she would either stay in the outer courtyard or with the princess.

I can only say that I just happened to meet him.

"You still have the mind to joke, Your Majesty, this is my second day in the mansion, is there anyone who can't stand me?"

Shen Jingyi's pretended resentful voice came.

At this time, Nanny Qin also knelt down with a worried look on her face and begged, "My Lord, you must make the decision for the concubine.

These meals were obviously prepared by someone who wanted to murder the concubine.

If the mastermind is not found out soon, I am worried that they will strike again."

Shen Jingyi was afraid that if Nanny said too much, it would backfire, so she spoke up quickly.

"Madame Qin, please get up. We must trust the prince. He will make his own decision."

King Xuan frowned and fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Chujiu, this matter is up to you to investigate.

I want to see who is so bold as to poison the palace?"

"Yes, my subordinate will do it now."

Chujiu bowed and left, and took away the three people who had delivered the meal.
