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

The dock was bustling with people, all kinds of goods were piled up like mountains, and busy boatmen and merchants were shuttling back and forth.

Shen Jingyi and King Xuan were sitting in the carriage, and everything in front of her was overwhelming.

“Is this the pier?”

There was a hint of shock in Shen Jingyi's voice that was hard to conceal.

"Yes, there are ships from all over the world coming into the port every day."

Then, King Xuan pointed to a large ship not far away and said, "Look, that's the ship we're going to board!"

Shen Jingyi looked in the direction King Xuan pointed.

I saw a magnificent three-story ship quietly docked at the pier.

The ship was several dozen feet long and about ten feet wide. Its huge size made it stand out among the many ships.

The hull is painted in vermilion, which makes it look solemn and noble.

The bow and stern are decorated with silver and gold dragon heads and phoenix tails, making it look majestic.

"Wow, it's so big!" Shen Jingyi exclaimed.

The carriage stopped directly near the big ship.

After getting off the car, she saw Nanny Qin, Chuntao and Qiuju walking towards her quickly and surrounding her, fearing that she would be bumped into by the crowd.

In fact, they were overthinking.

There are so many of them, and it’s obvious that they are either rich or noble, so most people just walk around them.

"Wow, this boat is so tall!"

Qiuju looked up, her eyes full of curiosity.

However, no one responded to her exclamation because they were preparing to board the ship.

"Let's go, don't be afraid, I'll hold your hand."

King Xuan stretched out his hand, took Shen Jingyi's hand and slowly walked towards the boat.

In fact, as long as you don't look at your feet, you have nothing to be afraid of.

After boarding the boat, King Xuan left for something else.

Shen Jingyi took Nanny Qin and the others to the top of the boat.

“Concubine, this is the top of the boat.

From here you can see the entire pier and even the coastline in the distance.”

Nanny Qin stood on the deck and pointed into the distance.

Shen Jingyi looked at the sparkling sea beneath her feet, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.

She turned around and asked Chuntao: "Chuntao, what do you think the sea looks like?"

Chuntao thought for a moment and said, "I feel that the sea is like a book that you can never finish reading. There are endless stories waiting for us to discover."

Shen Jingyi smiled, "I think so too, it's really mysterious."

The spring breeze blew, and their big ship slowly sailed away from the harbor.

Shen Jingyi leaned on the side of the boat, enjoying the leisurely time.

The sunlight shone on her face, casting a peaceful glow.

"Concubine, please come back soon. You can't stay out in the sun like this. Your skin will get sunburned."

Nanny Qin said as she pulled Shen Jingyi to a shady place.

"Mammy, I understand. I won't bask in the sun anymore. I'll just get some fresh air."

So Shen Jingyi found a place to sit down.

Feeling the sea breeze, watching the seagulls flying by from time to time, and listening to the sound of waves hitting the hull.

Jingjing felt her eyelids were a little heavy. When they were about to close, she quickly blinked to wake herself up.

Chuntao found it a little funny, it was time for their master to take a nap!

Nanny Qin looked at her and quickly suggested, "Concubine, let's go back to our room. It's cooler in the room."

Shen Jingyi nodded.

"Then let's go back. I want to go back and lie down for a while."

When they returned to their room on the boat,

I saw King Xuan was already inside.

He was sitting at the table, writing something seriously with his head down. There was a large piece of paper on the table.

Shen Jingyi walked over curiously and asked, "My Lord, what are you doing?"

King Xuan looked up at her, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said with a smile: "Come and see."

Shen Jingyi walked closer and saw that King Xuan was painting.

She couldn't help but ask curiously: "My Lord, what are you painting?"

King Xuan smiled mysteriously and replied, "You will know in a moment."

After saying that, he continued to focus on the painting in his hands.

Shen Jingyi covered her mouth, yawned and said, "Then I'll sleep for a while and watch later."

King Xuan also knew her daily routine.

So, he nodded gently, "Okay."

Then, Shen Jingyi turned to Nanny Qin, Qiuju, and Chuntao and said, "You guys should go back to your room and rest. It's hot in the middle of the day, and there's nothing to do on the boat."

"Yes, my servant's door is next door, just call me if you need anything."

"understood,"

Shen Jingyi waved her hand and let them leave.

When Shen Jingyi woke up, King Xuan had already finished his painting.

Shen Jingyi slowly approached, stared at the scroll, and was stunned for a moment.

"Is this...is this a painting of me? It's so beautiful."

In the painting, she is standing on the deck, her skirt fluttering in the wind, her facial features are bright and attractive, and there is a hint of determination in her eyes.

The background of the picture is the sparkling sea.

A few white clouds are floating leisurely in the sky, and seagulls are flying freely over the sea.

Although the portrait lacks some of Shen Jingyi's former gentleness, it makes her look more free and unrestrained.

"Like it?"

King Xuan put down his paintbrush, turned and looked at Shen Jingyi, his eyes full of anticipation.

"I like it so much. I'm going to take it home and frame it and hang it in my study."

Shen Jingyi's eyes sparkled with joy.

Then she seemed to have thought of something, and looked at King Xuan with bright eyes.

"I also want a painting of the two of us together."

Her eyes flickered with anticipation.

"Okay, I'll draw it for you, but my bladder is a little sore now."

King Xuan frowned slightly, moved his arms, and looked at Shen Jingyi.

Shen Jingyi understood immediately and said tactfully: "Then I'll rub it for you."

As she spoke, she gently walked behind King Xuan and began to massage him.

King Xuan closed his eyes, with a smile on his lips, enjoying Shen Jingyi's service as a matter of course.

The massage ended only when Shen Jingyi's hands were sore from pinching.

He picked up the paintbrush again and focused on his new work.

This time, he chose the pavilion in Yongzhou's back garden as the background.

It depicts the scene of the two of them playing chess in the pavilion.

They sat opposite each other in the pavilion, with a chess game in the center.

King Xuan's brows were furrowed, as if he was thinking about his next move;

Shen Jingyi smiled and observed his expression attentively.

In the painting, one of them is in deep thought while the other is smiling. The picture is warm and harmonious.

"I like this one too. This should be called a masterpiece."

Shen Jingyi sighed and looked at the characters in the painting, her eyes full of joy and appreciation.

She felt the painting was so lifelike that she felt as if she could walk out of it.

She couldn't help but want to reach out and touch the painting, but she was afraid of damaging it.

Then he said happily: "I want to hang this in my room."

King Xuan felt extremely satisfied when he saw how much Shen Jingyi loved his paintings, and smiled gently and dotingly.

"Okay, it's up to you."

The sour smell of their love began to spread in the air again.

evening,

On the sea, the golden light slowly sank with the setting sun, sparkling like a piece of molten gold spilled all over the sea.

King Xuan and Shen Jingyi stood at the bow of the ship, staring at the sun that was about to disappear in the distance.

"Your Majesty, look at these clouds. They are as colorful as a splash-ink landscape painting."

Shen Jingyi pointed to the horizon, her eyes sparkling with admiration for the beautiful scenery.

King Xuan smiled and responded, “Indeed, the beauty of this sunset is like the most gorgeous painting of nature.

Every stroke is full of vitality.”

As the sun gradually sinks into the horizon, the clouds in the sky change unpredictably.

It gradually changed from the initial orange-red to pink-purple, and finally to a light blue.

The sea breeze blows gently, carrying a hint of saltiness and the warmth of the sunset.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the waves, as if countless pieces of gold are jumping.

Seagulls circled in the air, their shadows lengthening and then quickly shortening in the waves.
