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

After riding horses for a whole morning, King Xuan and Shen Jingyi chose a place with mountains and water to stop.

The scenery here is picturesque, the air is fresh, and it makes people feel happy.

They decided to take a short break here and have lunch.

However, the first problem now is to wait for the carriage to arrive.

Because all the food and cooking utensils were in the carriage.

Despite this, the soldiers were not idle.

Some people took the initiative to go up the mountain to collect firewood to prepare for cooking later;

A few people were also invited to go hunting, hoping to add some food to lunch.

But things got bad as soon as Shen Jingyi got off the horse.

This body is too delicate. It was fine when I was on the horse, but now I'm off the horse.

I felt a little pain on the inside of my thigh, probably due to friction while riding a horse.

King Xuan supported Shen Jingyi and knew what was going on when he saw the way she walked.

He picked her up with heartache and walked towards the stream.

"Is this injured?"

Shen Jingyi nodded.

"It must have been an accidental injury while riding a horse."

King Xuan gently helped Shen Jingyi onto a rock.

With a heart full of pity, he said softly, "Then we won't ride horses for a while. You can have a good rest in the carriage."

Shen Jingyi agreed obediently.

"Okay, I'll take the carriage this afternoon, and next time I ride a horse, I'll find something to wrap myself around so I don't get hurt again."

King Xuan frowned and did not agree.

"There will be a next time?"

Shen Jingyi answered as a matter of course.

"Of course. Once I've mastered horse riding, I'll be able to accompany you on the journey day and night."

When King Xuan heard these words, he was filled with only emotion and happiness.

His eyes were gentle and affectionate, and he held Shen Jingyi tightly in his arms.

Shen Jingyi was startled by this sudden hug.

Her face flushed with shame, and she hurriedly whispered, "Your Highness, this is outside, and there are people watching us."

King Xuan looked around and saw that everyone was looking at the mountains, water and trees, but no one dared to look in their direction.

King Xuan then withdrew his gaze with satisfaction, but he also let go of Shen Jingyi.

Shen Jingyi has a good idea now, but the plan cannot keep up with the speed of change.

So her horsemanship training was doomed to be in vain.

The carriage arrived quite quickly. Shen Jingyi washed her face and hands by the stream. The cool stream water washed away the heat and dust from riding.

Another quarter of an hour later the carriage arrived.

Under the surprised gazes of Nanny Qin, Chuntao and Qiuju, King Xuan carefully carried Shen Jingyi into the carriage.

The three of them saw that Shen Jingyi's face was not very good, and their eyes were full of concern and worry.

"Your Highness, what happened to the concubine? Is it serious?" Nanny Qin asked hurriedly.

"Mammy, I'm fine, I just rubbed my leg while riding a horse.

Let Qiuju help me take a look and apply some medicine." Shen Jingyi said gently.

"Is that so? Then Qiuju should go quickly."

Nanny Qin called Qiuju anxiously.

"Concubine, let me help you take a look."

Qiuju immediately responded and got on the carriage.

King Xuan originally wanted to go and check and apply the medicine himself, but when he thought about how many people were watching outside, he gave up.

Qiuju carefully examined Shen Jingyi's injuries.

I gently touched the area around the wound and found that the injury was not serious, just some redness and swelling, but no skin broken.

She took out the ointment from the medicine box and carefully applied it on Shen Jingyi's legs.

"Fortunately it's just red, no skin broken. Just apply some medicine and rest for a day and it will be fine."

Shen Jingyi looked at Qiuju gratefully and said, "Thank you, thank you for your trouble."

"This is my duty, concubine, you don't have to be polite." Qiu Ju replied with a smile.

As she applied the medicine, she said distressedly, "The prince cares about you very much. You must rest well and never let yourself get hurt again."

"I understand. I will be more careful next time."

Qiuju applied the medicine and helped Shen Jingyi tidy up her clothes before getting out of the carriage and telling King Xuan about the results of the examination.

"Your Highness, there is a little redness and swelling on the inside of my thigh. It will be fine tomorrow after applying the medicine."

King Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, as it was what he thought.

"Understood, let's go down."

"Yes, the slaves retire."

Qiuju walked over to Nanny Qin and Chuntao who were cooking, and told them the test results.

After hearing this, the two of them felt relieved.

The hunters also came back with two rabbits and three pheasants.

Qiuju cooked the rabbit into Kung Pao rabbit meat, and the pheasant was stewed into soup.

After it was done, Qiuju put it in a beautiful white porcelain bowl and asked Chuntao to send it to the prince and Shen Jingyi.

He left some for themselves, and took the rest, along with the pot, to the palace soldiers.

There were so many of them that each person couldn't get much, especially the rabbit meat.

"Brother Dachui, please catch more rabbits next time. These are not enough to fill the gaps between our teeth."

"How do you know I don't want to kill more? It's just that I don't have enough time."

"Next time I go with you guys, I'm sure I can do more."

"Okay, let's see what you can do."

The conversation here was transmitted to the carriage.

Shen Jingyi picked up a piece of rabbit meat and put it in King Xuan's bowl.

“It seems like everyone likes this dish.”

"It's pretty good. I'd like to eat more."

As King Xuan spoke, he also picked up a piece of meaty meat for Shen Jingyi.

After finishing the meal, everyone packed up and set off.

Shen Jingyi did not pester King Xuan to play chess with her today, but instead picked up a storybook and started reading it.

King Xuan raised his eyebrows, feeling a little disappointed. He had already thought of the conditions for playing chess, but the other party simply ignored him.

"Didn't you say you didn't like reading storybooks? Why are you reading it today?"

As King Xuan spoke, he leaned over to take a curious look.

Seeing that King Xuan was curious, Shen Jingyi simply handed the book to King Xuan and said with bright eyes, "We saw this when we passed by a bookstore yesterday. Many people were rushing to buy it! I just flipped through it casually at the time.

Turns out this book is quite interesting.

It tells the story of the heroine's family who were not liked by their grandparents since childhood, and later after her father passed away, they were kicked out.

By chance, he met his childhood sweetheart who had no parents, and then the story began about how they supported each other and struggled together.

I thought it was interesting, so I bought it and read it.

Not to mention that the writing is really good, I even doubt whether it is the author's own real experience. "

Shen Jingyi chattered away.

King Xuan just flipped through it casually and returned it.

"Curious? Do you want me to check it for you?" King Xuan said suddenly.

"No, we just need to read the book, what does it matter?"

Shen Jingyi shook her head. Although she was a little curious, she didn't want to explore too much.

After all, what is important about a book is the reading experience and feelings it brings, not whether the story behind it is true.
