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

Seiin

"Bang!" A crisp shattering sound was heard, and the cup broke into pieces on the ground, with fragments scattered everywhere.

Chu Mengyao stood there angrily, her face full of anger.

Aunt Zhao looked at her own princess with distress and comforted her softly, "Princess, please don't get angry and hurt yourself. It's not worth getting angry about such a thing."

Chu Mengyao gnashed her teeth and cursed: "This bitch is simply a vixen! She has only been here for one day and she has already seduced the prince's soul away!

On the first day of serving the emperor, she had to build a small kitchen, and she could come and go from the outer study room at will!

She became angrier and angrier as she spoke, her chest heaving violently.

Aunt Zhao quickly comforted her, "Princess, calm down.

I have already inquired carefully about building a small kitchen.

In fact, it was just a coincidence. The prince happened to see someone poisoning, so he agreed to build a small kitchen.

As for the outer study, it is not the prince's office, but a place where he sits in his spare time.

Hearing this, the princess's expression softened a little, but she was still dissatisfied.

She snorted coldly, "That's his territory too. Forget it, let's not talk about it. Do you know which idiot poisoned him? He really can't even poison someone. It would be fine if he succeeded, but now he didn't succeed and he alerted the enemy."

The nanny lowered her voice and replied respectfully, "We only know that there were two cases of poisoning, one of which was outside the palace. We don't know the details. The prince's people are investigating now, so it's not appropriate for us to intervene."

"Mammy, how long do you think the prince will be angry with me? Ever since Concubine Liu had a miscarriage two years ago, the prince has been blaming me. Sigh, when will he stop being angry?"

"You are the princess. Even if it is for the sake of the prince, the prince will give you face. We need to be patient for now and must not act rashly. In fact, the prince's attitude towards you has improved."

Chu Mengyao curled her lips, "Now I haven't done anything, at most I'm just watching."

What she didn't know was that watching others do it was also a mistake.

"Yes, yes, I know. Didn't you make a piece of clothing for the prince yourself? How is it going?"

"almost done."

At this moment, the scene changed to Ziyue Garden.

A sharp female voice rang out: "What a bunch of useless people, you can't even handle such a small matter properly, and you were actually discovered! Have you cleaned up your mess?"

Another person quickly replied, "My Lord, we have dealt with it properly. It will definitely not lead us here. We just lost a few people this time."

"I see. It's just a few people being trained. Go down. I need to think carefully about what to do next."

"Yes, the slaves retire."

King Xuan did not go into the backyard for dinner as Shen Jingyi's small kitchen was not yet usable, so they still ate in the big kitchen. However, the dishes were still good.

After dinner, Shen Jingyi took Nanny Qin, Chuntao and Qiuju for a walk in the yard.

The little girl Qiu Kui, who had just been brought up, came back in a hurry from outside.

Her face was not very good, and she bowed and said, "Concubine, I have found out some news."

As he spoke, he looked around.

Shen Jingyi understood and said, "Go to the study."

After Shen Jingyi sat down, Qiu Kui couldn't wait to say: "I heard that when our palace was first opened, there were indeed not many people, but later the princes of various palaces sent concubines here, and the virtuous concubine also rewarded two, plus the ones brought back from work outside, all together there are about seventeen or eighteen people.

The backyard is very lively every day. Yesterday these two had a quarrel, and today the one who was crying annoyed the prince so much that he rarely goes into the backyard.

Then the women became so angry that they started to fight. First, a concubine named Tang tripped and had a miscarriage. Three days later, the concubine who tripped someone was bitten by a poisonous snake and died while she was sleeping at night.

The result of the investigation was that Tang Shiqi was the one who did it. She did not admit it, but she was eventually sent out of the mansion. "

Chun Tao couldn't help but say, "Concubine, do you think someone might have framed her?"

"It's very likely, Okra, go on."

"Yes, later on, whenever someone found out they were pregnant, they would miscarry the baby soon after. Some even bled to death. Later, it was discovered that someone had tampered with their food.

The prince and princess were furious and ordered a search of every courtyard. During the search, two more people were found. One of them used witchcraft to curse the women in the backyard so that they could not have children. The other one had a packet of poison in his house, which was the same poison as the one who died of heavy bleeding.

These two people were later taken away by the prince and never appeared again.

Three people died of illness, and one person seemed to have a mental problem. She hid behind a rockery with a knife, and saw a concubine out for a walk and ran out to kill her. Rumor has it that the concubine who was punished for killing someone miscarried because she knelt outside for a day in the middle of winter. She also injured her body and would never have children again.

Later, the virtuous concubine was afraid that if this continued, it would spread a bad reputation for the prince, so she stopped the prince's palace from sending people, and called the princess to the palace to scold her, and then the palace calmed down. "

"Oh my god, this backyard is such a mess."

Shen Jingyi said thoughtfully: "Someone deliberately made them messy."

Nanny Qin said, "Concubine, we just arrived. Are you asking too much about the news too quickly and too carefully? Are there any false information in it?"

"Mammy, do you think someone might have revealed this to us on purpose to give us a heads up?"

"You may say so. Anyway, we still have to be careful. Someone poisoned us right after we arrived. This is a signal."

"Concubine, I also heard that two people were taken away from the kitchen today, a maid who picked vegetables and a woman who worked in the kitchen."

"I see. Qiu Kui, you haven't eaten yet. Go downstairs and eat."

"Yes, the slaves retire."

Shen Jingyi looked at Qiu Kui who was walking out and said, "This little girl is quite clever."

Then he looked at Nanny Qin and Chuntao and said, "Keep an eye on our people and guard the yard. Don't rush to arrange for bribery. We just arrived. Observe more and don't be surprised if you run into someone else's spies. There is no simple one left in our backyard."

"Yes, the concubines and servants will definitely be careful."

Although Shen Jingyi has always wanted to lie down and be a parasite, that must be within the scope of her own safety. The mansion is so chaotic now, and she was poisoned as soon as she arrived. How could she not react? The mansion's staff must be trained, so that they will not become blind and take advantage of her to gather information and act in the future.

She doesn't cause trouble, but she's not afraid of it either.

After taking a bath in the evening, Shen Jingyi felt too hot so she wore a white silk sheath, a pink lotus bellyband, and a transparent veil on the outside. She leaned on the chaise longue and read a book, looking indescribably charming and attractive.

This was the picture of a beauty under the lamp that King Xuan saw when he came in. This really proves the saying that the more you look at a beauty under the lamp, the more charming she becomes.

Shen Jingyi felt a burning gaze, and when she looked up, she saw King Xuan standing at the door looking at her.

So she quickly stood up and saluted, "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"Get up." Then he walked over in three or two steps, brought the person into his arms and leaned him against the chaise longue.

"Why didn't your Highness tell anyone to inform me? I didn't even know you were here."

"I just wanted to see what Yi'er was doing."

King Xuan generously admitted that he did it on purpose just to see what she was doing.

Shen Jingyi smiled slyly and said, "Are you satisfied with what you saw?"

"Satisfied, very satisfied, especially this picture of the beauty under the lamp."

Then he looked at the smiling face beside him and whispered in her ear, "I'm here tonight to receive a thank-you gift."

Shen Jingyi shuddered.

She called out in a tender voice: "My Lord!"

King Xuan laughed, held her in his arms and walked towards the clean room, "Come on, accompany me to bathe."

"But I've already washed it."

"Then wash it again."
