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

As dinner came to an end, the sound of conversation was intertwined between the collision of chopsticks and dishes.

Most of the dishes on the table were already empty, and the faint aroma of wine lingered in the air.

Shen Jingyi suddenly looked at Lord Tang, with a hint of mischief in her smile: "I wonder if Miss Tang has been betrothed to someone."

Her voice was lighthearted, seemingly casual, but there was a hidden meaning in the air.

Lord Tang's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately replied, "Not yet. I still think I'm still young, so I want to stay for two more years."

"Oh, so that's it!" Shen Jingyi had a faint smile on her face.

Then, she glanced at King Xuan and continued, "I think Miss Tang is quite attractive. When Miss Tang does something extraordinary, this concubine will definitely send a gift to congratulate her."

The implication is that you'd better forget about entering the palace.

When Tang Shumeng heard this, his heart sank and he subconsciously looked towards King Xuan.

But King Xuan did not look at her. Instead, he looked at Shen Jingyi with a slight smile and gentle eyes.

The scene made her eyes sting a little.

She lowered her head, her mind full of thoughts. It seemed that this way was a dead end.

After all, Lord Tang is a veteran in the officialdom.

Therefore, he still answered Shen Jingyi respectfully and calmly.

"Thank you, Concubine. This is my daughter's blessing."

After they chatted for a while, King Xuan said, "Master Tang, we have to travel tomorrow, so we won't accompany you any more."

There was no hesitation in his words.

"Then I will escort the prince back to the post station."

As Lord Tang spoke, he stood up and bowed, showing his courtesy.

"No need, the prince and the concubine will go back for a walk."

King Xuan's words were firm, yet also somewhat gentle.

He turned around and walked out first, followed closely by Shen Jingyi.

The father and daughter looked at each other and could only bow obediently: "Farewell, Your Majesty."

Watching King Xuan and Shen Jingyi disappear around the corner of the second floor.

"Dad, this is not going to work for King Xuan, so what should we do next?"

"It's okay. We are just planning. The most important thing now is to spread your reputation as a talented woman so that everyone in the capital will know about it."

"My daughter understands."

Tang Shumeng nodded, and then went back with her father.

After being outside all day, she was very tired.

Walking out of the restaurant, Shen Jingyi and King Xuan walked side by side.

The evening breeze was slightly cool, ruffling their hair.

Shen Jingyi looked at King Xuan carefully.

His tall and straight figure looked particularly charming in the moonlight.

The two of them strolled along the bluestone path, and the stones under their feet made crisp sounds.

The air is filled with a faint floral scent, and the gentle breeze brings a hint of coolness, making people feel very comfortable.

"looking at what."

King Xuan noticed Shen Jingyi's gaze and asked softly.

Shen Jingyi's eyes moved, with a smile on her lips, and she said mischievously: "Sir, this Miss Tang is also a remarkable woman.

He can write poetry, write songs, judge cases and discuss politics. Do you feel sorry for rejecting him like this?"

King Xuan's face darkened slightly, and he pretended to sniff around.

Then he frowned and said, "Why do I feel that the air here smells sour?"

"Ah, no! There is only a faint floral scent."

Shen Jingyi was stunned for a moment, then reacted and couldn't help but smile.

This means that she is very jealous!

"Hate it, what they say is true."

She tapped King Xuan's arm in dissatisfaction. Although she didn't use much force, it felt like tickling, and she looked playful and cute.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong."

King Xuan responded with a smile, but he felt a little amused in his heart.

It's so rare to see her jealous!

But he still explained to her: "Lord Tang raised her daughter like this, which may be beneficial to her family, but few normal wealthy families can accept it. Such a woman is too ambitious, and it will be counterproductive if she cannot be controlled."

"Then she wants to enter the palace now, not for the sake of grandeur."

Shen Jingyi pointed to the sky while speaking.

King Xuan nodded, took her hand and walked slowly.

"Don't worry, she won't get what she wants.

There are many young ladies in the capital who are good at poetry and songs, and as for making suggestions on government affairs, those staff members are not there to eat for nothing."

"Then why did Lord Tang train his daughter to be like this? If this one goes wrong, it will be a disaster for him."

"Who knows! Maybe she thinks her daughter is good enough to make any man fall in love with her."

A mocking smile appeared on King Xuan's lips.

"But not every man likes such a woman."

He looked at Shen Jingyi, his eyes full of tenderness and love.

Shen Jingyi smiled slightly and gently patted King Xuan's hand to show her understanding.

"Oh, I forgot about my second cousin. Didn't he say he went out with you? Where is he?" Shen Jingyi suddenly said.

Seeing that she had just remembered it, King Xuan smiled and said, "I saw that he was bored, so I sent him out."

"Where have you been?" Shen Jingyi blinked.

"Let him go to Cangzhou first to keep an eye on it, and then visit secretly."

"He has a generous personality and many friends. It just so happens that he has some friends there too. No one knows that he is with us, and no one will be on guard against him," King Xuan explained.

After hearing this, Shen Jingyi frowned and asked worriedly.

"You mean we will be targeted once we enter Cangzhou?"

King Xuan nodded.

"So is he reliable?"

Shen Jingyi expressed doubts about her second cousin's abilities.

King Xuan patted her shoulder gently and comforted her: "Don't worry, I have asked Chuwu's people to assist him."

"Um"

The next morning, the sun rose and its soft light shone through the clouds onto the earth.

Everyone packed their luggage and prepared to move on.

Shen Jingyi changed into men's clothes, walked in front of King Xuan, turned around, and clasped her hands together in a salute.

King Xuan smiled indulgently, "Yes, it looks quite like that."

Shen Jingyi was also very happy to hear the praise.

"Yeah, I think so too, let's get going!"

As he said this, he held King Xuan's hand and wanted to take him out.

Suddenly I remembered my current outfit.

No...I am that person now. What's the matter with two grown men holding hands?

So he quickly let go of her hand and walked forward with big strides.

King Xuan smiled and followed behind.

As soon as the two of them left the house, someone brought their horses.

Shen Jingyi was riding a soldier's horse, while the man was forced to drive a carriage.

The two men mounted their horses and rode side by side on the road, followed by dozens of palace soldiers who were also on horseback.

The scene is very spectacular.

Only a few carriages and the jealous crowd were left, and they could only helplessly watch them go away.

Chuntao and Nanny Qin sat in the carriage, watching the figure moving further and further away in front of them, and couldn't help complaining.

Chun Tao pouted and said, "Mammy, look at the concubine.

Ever since I came out with the prince, I have really been letting myself go more and more!

This leaves us behind again!"

Nanny Qin smiled disapprovingly.

"Isn't it good that the prince dotes on his concubine now?

Do whatever you want to do now while you are outside. When you return, there will be many restrictions and you don’t know what is waiting for you!

She is so willful now, haven’t you seen the concubine smiling like a flower every day?

So, let the concubine relax for a while."

Qiu Ju also nodded in agreement, "Yes, if there are extra horses, I would also like to try riding a horse!

It’s so boring to stay in the carriage all day.”

Nanny Qin continued, "Yes, riding a horse is indeed much more interesting than riding in a carriage.

However, let’s not be too envious, after all, this trip is a rare opportunity.

You guys should be happy to be able to travel around with your wife, feel the hustle and bustle of each place, and appreciate the beautiful scenery along the way. "

"that is"

Chuntao looked at the work in her hands and rolled her eyes at Qiuju.

"If you feel bored, why don't you move your hands!"

"Haha...isn't it because my embroidery is not good?" Qiuju scratched her head embarrassedly.

"Then you can just cut it along the lines Mammy has drawn, right?"

Chuntao sighed helplessly.

"Okay, okay, I'll do it right away."

Qiuju quickly picked up the scissors and started cutting the fabric.

At this time, Nanny Qin said, "Hurry up, the concubine is still waiting to put on her clothes."

"I know, Ma'am." Chuntao and Qiuju responded in unison.

"By the way, Mammy, how many sets of men's clothes do we need to make?" Qiuju asked curiously.

Nanny Qin thought for a moment and said, "Let's do three sets first!"

It turned out that Shen Jingyi felt that riding a horse in women's clothes among a group of men was too conspicuous, so she decided to change into men's clothes.

The outfit she was wearing now was temporarily modified from King Xuan's clothes last night.

There was nothing to do in the carriage now, so they simply took out the cloth they bought yesterday and started sewing clothes.

Chuntao was busy with her needlework while she said with emotion: "I hope everything goes well on this trip."

"Yes, I hope the concubine won't encounter any danger." Qiuju echoed.

"Don't worry, with King Xuan here, nothing will happen." Nanny Qin comforted.

"Well, I hope so." Chuntao and Qiuju nodded.

The carriage moved on.
