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

The carriage moved forward slowly, and the sound of the wheels rolling was particularly clear in this small space.

Shen Jingyi and King Xuan were sitting on opposite sides of the carriage playing chess.

There are also many black and white chess pieces on the chessboard in the middle, and the scenery outside the car window slowly flows in the sunlight.

Shen Jingyi's eyes were focused as the chess piece in her hand fell on the chessboard, while King Xuan slightly raised the corners of his mouth and stared at the chessboard.

Not long after, Shen Xiaoliu caught up with their team and his figure appeared by the car window.

There was a hint of fatigue on his face.

But he couldn't hide his joy: "My Lord, Concubine, I'm back."

Shen Jingyi's eyes immediately moved away from the chessboard and turned to Shen Xiaoliu, her eyes full of expectation: "How are the mother and daughter now?"

"That woman's daughter has been redeemed!" Shen Xiaoliu took a breath.

Then he continued: "When we entered the city, we met her eldest uncle.

He just came out of the restaurant with a group of people.

After knowing that the woman wanted to redeem the child, he refused to let her go and even accused her of stealing the family's money and asked her to hand it over. His words were very unpleasant."

Shen Jingyi frowned slightly: "How did that woman deal with it?"

A look of approval flashed across Shen Xiaoliu's face: The woman was so angry that she picked up a stick from the stall next to her and hit the man.

He even exposed his past in front of his classmates and friends.

They said that he was old and still just a student, doing nothing all day, and his whole family was supporting you two to enjoy a good life in the city, and yet you dared to go back and instigate the old lady to sell her daughter.

She's going to ask the dean how he taught such a bad student."

King Xuan couldn't help but chuckle, obviously appreciating the woman's behavior: "It seems that she took all your words to heart."

Shen Jingyi also smiled complacently and urged: "What happened next?"

Shen Xiaoliu continued, "The man was frightened, and he ran away after saying a few harsh words.

When we went to the pawnbroker's office to redeem the person, the pawnbroker's wife left us five taels of silver short.

It turned out that she was also in the crowd watching the excitement, and she gave less money out of pity for the woman. "

Shen Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief, obviously satisfied with the result: "Well done, thank you for your hard work, go down now."

"Yes, I am resigning."

Shen Xiaoliu apologized, bowed, and returned to the team behind.

Inside the carriage, King Xuan saw a relaxed smile on Shen Jingyi's face.

He patted her hand gently: "I feel relieved now."

"yes!

I also just don't want to see her continue to suffer.

This world is not very kind to women. Perhaps all I can do is to give her a little help and hope."

King Xuan smiled softly after hearing this, “Have you ever thought that the little help you feel might be a light that illuminates their lives.”

Shen Jingyi nodded, her heart full of gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Without your support, I would not dare to intervene in these matters easily."

The atmosphere in the carriage became more cozy and peaceful.

The conversation between Shen Jingyi and King Xuan echoed softly in this warm carriage.

Gradually, the sound died down. King Xuan looked down in confusion and found that the person who was talking just now had fallen asleep.

King Xuan had no choice but to lay her body flat so that she could sleep more comfortably.

the next afternoon

They finally arrived at Cangzhou City.

The sun shone obliquely on the streets of Cangzhou City, and the carriage slowly drove into the city.

Since they needed to stay here for a few days, some people had already arrived in advance and rented a spacious yard.

Clean it thoroughly and prepare to welcome the owner.

The carriage stopped in front of the gate of the yard.

Shen Jingyi stretched and yawned loudly.

Then, with the help of King Xuan, he slowly got off the carriage.

"Be careful where you step," King Xuan reminded with concern.

"I noticed you were sleeping all the way. Why are you still so sleepy now?"

Shen Jingyi rubbed her eyes and said a little embarrassedly: "I don't know what happened recently. I always feel that I don't get enough sleep.

Especially when sitting in a carriage, the shaking will make you drowsy very quickly."

The two of them had just finished washing up in the main courtyard when the eighth day of the new year came to report.

"Your Majesty, Magistrate Lin is here."

Shen Jingyi said in surprise: "He came really quickly!"

King Xuan smiled slightly and said jokingly: "He has been staring at us!"

Shen Jingyi walked to King Xuan and patted his shoulder gently, "Then go to the front and see what he is going to do."

"Yeah." King Xuan responded, then turned and left.

Shen Jingyi picked up a book on the table and began to flip through it casually, waiting for King Xuan to come back.

Not long after, the eighth day of the new year came back again.

"Concubine, Magistrate Lin is hosting a banquet at home. Please come with the prince. The prince is waiting for you in the front yard."

"Okay, I got it. Wait for me to change my clothes."

Shen Jingyi nodded and turned back to her room.

Chuntao quickly took out the scarlet silk embroidered with auspicious grass wide-sleeved double silk long skirt and accessories from the closet.

The three of them moved quickly, dressing themselves up almost non-stop.

Shen Jingyi was dressed in gorgeous clothes, which highlighted her noble temperament.

Chuntao and Qiuju also dressed up and were ready to go.

The three of them walked towards the front yard and met King Xuan.

When I arrived at the living room, I saw King Xuan sitting in the main seat with a faint smile on his face.

Sitting next to him was an old man in his fifties. He had a kind face and extraordinary bearing, and looked quite majestic in his official robe.

It’s hard to imagine that this person is the bully here.

"Greetings to the concubine." The old man stood up, his expression revealing respect for Shen Jingyi.

"Lord Lin, there is no need to be so polite." Shen Jingyi nodded slightly, maintaining a dignified demeanor and responding to him politely.

Seeing this, King Xuan stood up and said, "Let's go."

The three of them took a carriage to the Lin Mansion.

The car drove through the winding streets.

Finally, he stopped at the gate of Lin's house.

"Welcome Your Majesty and Concubine to our residence."

Lord Lin had a gentle smile on his face and warmly welcomed them into the mansion.

Walk through the exquisite corridor and turn into the hall.

Shen Jingyi and King Xuan saw that the hall was already full of people.

The guests here include not only local officials, but also many gentry and wealthy people, and the atmosphere is very lively.
