Traveling through time and space to become a concubine: I just want to live a leisurely life
Chapter 52 A Woman with an Ambition
Shen Jingyi has quickly transformed from the initial sweet date mode to the enthusiastic shopping mode.
They came to a night market with small stalls.
The dazzling array of goods in front of her was overwhelming, as if every item was waving at her.
She is now completely immersed in the joy of shopping, and her mood is as happy as a happy little bird.
King Xuan followed her silently, acting as the "wallet" responsible for paying.
Every time she came to a stall, Shen Jingyi would excitedly pick up one item after another, looking at them carefully, with a gleam of surprise in her eyes.
"Master, this fan is so beautiful." Shen Jingyi gently stroked the carved fan in his hand. The fan was painted with blooming lotus flowers, the colors were bright and delicate, as if he could feel the breeze.
King Xuan nodded and said indifferently: "If you like it, buy it."
So the stall owner wrapped the fan and handed it to Shen Jingyi with a smile on his face.
Next, they came to a stall selling handicrafts.
Shen Jingyi was attracted by a straw-woven goldfish and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Master, this straw-woven goldfish is so lifelike! The craftsmanship is really good."
King Xuan looked at her surprised expression and laughed as well: "Then buy it and put it at home."
Shen Jingyi said happily: "Yes, take it back."
Walking further, Shen Jingyi found another exquisite comb, which was inlaid with pearls and gems, and was very gorgeous.
She held the comb lovingly and said to King Xuan: "This comb is beautiful and well made."
King Xuan replied without hesitation: "Then let's buy it."
Anyway, in King Xuan's view, these are just small amounts of money, so he can buy them as long as he likes them.
With every call from Shen Jingyi, King Xuan’s follow-up was: “Buy it if you like it.”
As a result, the five people behind were gradually covered with things.
This also resulted in every stall owner's eyes lighting up and becoming enthusiastic when they saw them.
"Madam, please take a look at this sachet."
"Madam, take a look at the fan I have here. Isn't it more beautiful than the one in your hand? Come and take a look."
Shen Jingyi saw that she was quite pretty. Just as she was about to walk over, she heard someone shouting:
"Madam, the fans I have here are better than his. They are all new and cheaper than his. Please take a look at mine."
The vendor just now quit. Is it possible to steal business like this?
"Ma'am, don't listen to his nonsense. What I have here are all carefully selected and sold. The quality of the goods is top-notch. You can compare them."
After hearing this, the vendor here said directly, "The things you sell are expensive."
"Hey, you're asking for a fight, aren't you? You only say it's expensive, why don't you say the product is good?"
I saw the two fan sellers starting to quarrel.
The bead seller nearby took the opportunity to shout:
"Madam, take a look at the glass beads I have here. I guarantee you will like them."
Shen Jingyi felt dizzy from their shouting. She felt that if it weren't for the intimidation of Chuqi and Chuba, these people would have come to her and pulled her away.
Gradually, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she pulled King Xuan and ran out of the night market.
"Go away, go away, they are too scary."
The five people following behind also breathed a sigh of relief, because they really couldn't take it down.
They were so busy running forward that they didn't notice that there was a pair of eyes staring at them from the building behind them.
"How about she agreed?"
"Yes, the lady agreed, but she wants one thousand taels of silver."
"Promise her that as long as it's done, it'll be fine."
"Yes, miss"
The little maid smiled and turned to go out.
It was really a novel experience for King Xuan to be pulled to run. He had never been pulled to run like this since he was a child.
He has always been solemn and calm.
At this moment, he looked at the woman in front of him with a barely perceptible smile on his face.
This woman always brings him some unexpected surprises.
He found that when he was with her, his mood became relaxed and happy.
Although she was a little naughty sometimes, he thought she was cute.
Shen Jingyi ran while looking back, fearing that the stall owners would catch up with her.
She didn't stop to catch her breath until she reached a quiet place.
"Huh...finally got rid of them." She said, patting her chest.
King Xuan couldn't help laughing when he saw her panting.
"I didn't expect you to be so timid," he teased.
Shen Jingyi rolled her eyes at him, "Aren't you scared? There are so many people surrounding us. This is the first time I feel that selling things is so scary."
King Xuan smiled and shook his head, "They are just doing business, don't be afraid."
Shen Jingyi pouted, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? You made me run so hard."
King Xuan sighed helplessly, "Okay, I was wrong. But this shopping trip was still quite interesting, right?"
Shen Jingyi nodded, "Yeah, that's right. But next time we encounter this situation, just take me away."
King Xuan agreed with a smile, and the two continued to stroll along the street.
The evening breeze blew gently, and the surrounding trees swayed gently, as if accompanying their leisurely time.
The two walked side by side, chatting and laughing.
The person behind him was still following closely from a distance.
Suddenly, the scene ahead broke the silence.
As soon as the seventh and eighth days of the Chuchao saw that something was wrong, they immediately put down their things and stepped forward, ready to attack or defend.
Nanny Qin and the other two quickly stepped forward and surrounded Shen Jingyi.
A stunningly beautiful woman was running towards them in a panic, her skin was as white as snow and her face was pale, her eyes were full of fear and anxiety.
Her lips were as tempting as cherries, and at this moment they were trembling slightly with nervousness, making her look even more delicate and charming.
Her clothes were a little messy, and her long hair was scattered on her shoulders, fluttering in the wind, adding a bit of charm and delicacy.
"Help!" the woman cried breathlessly, her voice filled with pleading and helplessness.
She ran towards Shen Jingyi and King Xuan, trying to seek help.
Then, several burly men appeared behind her, panting. Their eyes were gloomy and fierce, and they were obviously here to chase the woman.
The woman hurriedly tried to run to King Xuan and Shen Jingyi, but was blocked by Chuqi and Chuba one meter away.
She looked extremely frightened, her breathing was rapid, and the tear marks on her face made her beauty seem even more tragic.
She immediately knelt down and looked up at King Xuan, her eyes sparkling with a gleam of hope for help, her voice full of pleading: "Please, save me! Those people... they want to catch me!"
Shen Jingyi felt something strange in her mind, and she always felt that there was something wrong with this woman, but she still stopped.
Just as he was about to ask about the situation, he found that King Xuan's expression had become unusually stern, with a barely perceptible hint of vigilance in his eyes.
Shen Jingyi immediately became alert.
King Xuan pulled Shen Jingyi behind him and stared at the men who were chasing them.
"Don't run away, what do you want to do?"
King Xuan asked directly with a hint of coldness in his voice.
The burly men were stunned for a moment, and one of them, who looked a bit rude, stepped forward with a contemptuous smile on his face: "Don't interfere, this matter has nothing to do with you."
King Xuan smiled coldly and swept his sharp eyes over the crowd: "It seems that you are not chasing so urgently, but rather acting. This is a play that you have discussed long ago."
The woman realized that something was wrong and felt a little anxious.
She quickly adjusted her strategy, with tears in her eyes and the corners of her mouth trembling slightly, trying to impress King Xuan with her innocent expression and beautiful looks.
"Sir, you misunderstood. They really came to arrest me. I escaped from the brothel. They wanted to force me to receive customers, but I didn't want to, so I ran away."
King Xuan's eyes were stern and he obviously didn't believe it.
The expressions of those big men began to look a little embarrassed and angry. It was obvious that they had not expected to be exposed.
The rude man was still a little annoyed, and there was a hint of threat in his voice.
"What? You said we were acting?"
"Yes." King Xuan was not afraid of them. Her firm eyes were full of disgust.
"You don't look like you're trying to catch up at all. Instead, you're trying to stage a farce that you've already prepared."
"Your goal is obviously to get close to us by this method."
"You're right. Although I don't know your ultimate goal, I won't agree to it no matter what it is."
The woman's face turned even paler, she lowered her head and bit her lips, obviously knowing that she had been exposed.
The big men looked embarrassed when they saw this, knowing that their true identity had been exposed and they could no longer maintain the previous illusion.
"Humph, since you've been discovered, don't waste any more time."
King Xuan's tone was full of unquestionable coldness, "You'd better leave immediately, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
The big men looked at each other and finally gave up the idea of continuing to pester them.
They obviously realized that they had no idea where to start facing an opponent like King Xuan.
At this time, the woman slowly stood up and lowered her head, not daring to look at King Xuan and Shen Jingyi again. A trace of shame and frustration flashed in her eyes, and then she followed the men away.
Shen Jingyi looked at all this and felt slightly relieved.
She turned her head to look at King Xuan, her eyes full of admiration: "How did you see through their tricks at a glance?"
King Xuan smiled and patted Shen Jingyi's shoulder gently: "You will know if you observe carefully. Besides, their behavior is unreasonable. Several grown men caught a woman and couldn't catch her. It made a lot of trouble. This is unreasonable."
Shen Jingyi suddenly realized that she had just felt that something was wrong with that woman.
It turned out to be the case.
Then King Xuan said, "Their calculations are all left over from others."
Shen Jingyi smiled, and in her smile there was a hint of heartache for King Xuan. It seemed that being the emperor's son was not that easy.
The two continued to stroll along the river. The evening breeze was still blowing gently, and the river water was gleaming in the moonlight. Everything seemed to have returned to calm.
Although some minor incidents had just happened, Shen Jingyi felt extremely at ease in her heart. After all, with King Xuan by her side, every moment of her life was filled with security and warmth.
