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

Shen Jingyi was in a good mood because she was eating the snacks she had eaten before.

In the evening, she sat under the pavilion in the yard, and the breeze brought some coolness.

A thought suddenly flashed through her mind, and she remembered that the women here seemed to like giving sachets to men.

The sachet is not only a gift, but also a symbol of love.

So, she wanted to adapt to the local customs and planned to make a sachet for King Xuan.

I thought about the fabrics I bought in Guxi Town last time, and it seems that none of them are suitable.

So he said to Chuntao, "Chuntao, I want to make a sachet for the prince. Go find some suitable fabric tomorrow!"

Chun Tao nodded respectfully, "Yes, Concubine, I will go to lay out the stakes tomorrow morning. What color and pattern do you want?"

Shen Jingyi frowned slightly and thought for a while: "Color... let me think about it again."

She did it on a whim and hasn't decided on the color yet.

At this time, Qiu Ju came over and interrupted, "Concubine, we still have some fabrics left from the last time we bought in Guxi Town. Can you take a look at those?"

“Those are inappropriate.”

After Shen Jingyi finished speaking, she saw that it was getting late, so she led them back while thinking about the color and style of the sachets.

Until I entered the house and saw King Xuan,

He was buried in a book, his slender fingers gently turning the pages.

A dark blue Hangzhou silk gown outlines his cool and handsome figure.

She couldn't help but think that King Xuan's clothes were mostly dark-colored, and she had never seen him wear light-colored or white clothes.

Perhaps, his temperament is profound and restrained, which is fully displayed against the backdrop of dark clothes.

Shen Jingyi suddenly changed her mind. She wanted to make not only sachets but also clothes.

She has also decided on the colors: moon white and lake blue.

Shen Jingyi's heart was filled with anticipation, as if she was already imagining King Xuan wearing moon-white or lake-blue.

I felt that these two colors would definitely make him look particularly gentle and handsome.

Such a thought made her smile, and she thought: "He is a natural clothes hanger, and he looks good in anything he wears."

So, she turned to Chuntao and said, "I've decided I want one in moon white and one in lake blue."

"Concubine, these two colors don't seem to be suitable for making clothes for the baby."

Nanny Qin reminded them hesitantly that she was not with them just now.

So I didn't know Shen Jingyi wanted to make sachets, and I thought she wanted to prepare clothes for the baby in her belly.

"This is for the baby's father."

Shen Jingyi smiled mischievously, with a gentle glow on her face.

Chuntao was stunned

"Concubine, one piece each is not too much? You won't need that much to make a sachet."

Shen Jingyi smiled slyly, "Who said I'm making sachets? I also want to make clothes!"

Qiu Ju couldn't help but hit him: "Concubine, are you sure you can do this? Otherwise, imagine the scene of you embroidering your wedding dress."

"Hey, there is a time limit for embroidering a wedding dress, but there is no time limit for making clothes for the prince. Don't worry! I can do it. Don't you have your help?"

"Haha...as long as you have confidence."

Nanny Qin was very happy when she heard Shen Jingyi say that she wanted to make clothes and sachets for the prince. She felt that this would deepen their relationship.

King Xuan sat quietly in the room, listening to their conversation at the door, with a smile growing on his face.

When Shen Jingyi came in, he couldn't help but put down the book in his hand, walked over and hugged her in his arms.

With a gentle smile, he said, "Yier, I heard everything. Although the clothes can come later, can you give me the sachet when I leave?"

Shen Jingyi smiled and replied: "Of course, I will start tomorrow."

I had no intention of hiding it from him. Now that he knew, I wanted him to be happy in advance.

King Xuan nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, I'm looking forward to it."

Shen Jingyi thought of the man in black who had just come in, and asked with concern: "Have you finished discussing your business?"

"Well, the people from Chuwu and your second cousin have handed over the evidence they collected to me. The officials here are all problematic, and no one will be able to escape when the time comes."

Shen Jingyi asked again: "So, is the person monitoring us still there?"

King Xuan smiled and said, "They have been here all along, and they may have known about your pregnancy. But this is a good thing for us, they will no longer doubt the reason why I stayed."

Shen Jingyi sighed and asked worriedly, "I wonder if the emperor has received the evidence now."

"Don't worry! With the speed of the secret guards, the evidence should be on Father's desk by now."

***

Their guess was correct, the emperor had already seen the evidence.

And I have already discussed it with the ministers.

At this time, the emperor was sitting on the luxurious dragon throne, holding the imperial edict he had just drafted in his hand, his brows furrowed, and a trace of fatigue appeared on his face.

He and the eunuch beside him, Zhang Desheng, were the only ones left in the hall.

The faint candlelight flickered in the hall, illuminating the emperor's pensive expression.

"Zhang Desheng," the emperor said solemnly, "Is Zheng really old? These people are so eager to fight for this position.

They ignored everything and allowed those parasites to make a fortune behind the scenes, disregarding the law. "

Eunuch Zhang stepped forward and whispered comfortingly, "Your Majesty, you are definitely not old. You are now in the prime of your life.

Besides, which family doesn’t have a few unfilial children and grandchildren?

You can’t get upset with yourself because of them.”

The emperor smiled when he heard this, and his expression eased a little: "Haha, you are right."

Then he put the imperial edict into the box and pushed it forward.

“Take it, send it to Censor Wang. Since he presented it, let him make the rice paper, right?

Then we will go to the West Mountain Camp and ask 500 soldiers to follow us and bring back all the confiscated silver."

"Yes, I'll go now." Eunuch Zhang replied with his head down, then quickly left the hall.

That night, a fast horse left the city and headed for the Xishan camp.

The next day, as soon as the city gate was opened, Censor Wang took two servants, carrying bags, and went out of the city to meet up with the soldiers.

Then he rushed towards Cangzhou.

During the morning court session, the atmosphere in the court was solemn. The ministers stood there with nervous expressions, not daring to speak easily.

The emperor sat on the dragon throne and looked at everyone with a serious face.

"My dear ministers, I want to inform you of something today." The emperor said in a low and powerful voice.

"Lin Desheng, the governor of Cangzhou, embezzled and accepted bribes, used his position to rob and plunder, and took human lives lightly, causing the people to live in misery. He deserves death!"

The emperor's words were so powerful that everyone present couldn't help but gasp.

I have handed this matter over to King Xuan.

At this time, someone stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think King Xuan still has a mission to complete and it is not appropriate for him to take over Cangzhou."

"It's okay. King Xuan can do it on his way to He County. Zheng has ordered the Imperial Censor Wang to rush over with the imperial edict.

I believe that King Xuan will not delay He County's mission."

Afterwards, the emperor named some officials and ordered them to rush to Cangzhou to take up their posts immediately.

The imperial edicts also left the imperial city one by one along with the eunuchs who announced the edicts.

This made Cheng Wang's people very anxious. How come they didn't receive any news at all? This made them feel very surprised and uneasy.

After the court session, King Cheng's followers hurried to King Cheng's palace to discuss countermeasures.

King Cheng himself had already been sitting in his study, anxiously waiting for their arrival.

At the same time, Lord Lin, who was far away in Cangzhou, knew nothing about this.

He was still working on his favorite concubine, and he had no idea that his death was approaching and that the people who were going to catch him were on the way.
