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

After having dinner with King Xuan, Shen Jingyi told him about the woman's situation.

Finally, he sighed.

"She is very lucky. A woman who encountered wolves was able to come out alive. I don't know what she was doing in the mountains."

King Xuan said indifferently, "If you are curious, you can ask someone tomorrow."

Shen Jingyi nodded, her tone brisk.

"Hehe, I thought so too."

Then he changed the topic and asked, "My Lord, did you gain anything from going out of the city today?"

"of course."

King Xuan sat down with his horse and golden sword as he spoke, and stuffed a comb into Shen Jingyi's hand.

Let it be sent to Tongfa.

Shen Jingyi raised a smile and stood behind him, gently combing his black hair, again and again.

Then King Xuan continued, "The man we met today was the one who helped Governor Lin with his work before. He is also a scheming man.

He secretly kept an account book, but it was discovered by someone and he was killed.

However, your cousin and his men secretly rescued him."

"Is the account book still there?" Shen Jingyi asked anxiously. That's an account book! I wonder how many people it can implicate.

“Yes, this is also the cleverness of this person.”

"He recorded two books at the same time and placed them in two places. One was handed over by him, and the other was hidden in his home."

Hearing this, Shen Jingyi was delighted and said happily: "That's great."

However, because she was too excited, she accidentally used too much force and pulled out two strands of King Xuan's hair.

She looked down at the hair in her hands and blinked.

An awkward smile appeared on his face, and he chuckled: "Haha...haha, I didn't mean it."

King Xuan turned around, looked up at Shen Jingyi, and said resentfully: "Yier, are you seeking revenge out of jealousy?"

Shen Jingyi quickly shook her head and explained, "Haha...it was a typo.

Besides, why should I be jealous? My hair is just as beautiful as yours!"

King Xuan smiled slightly, then he stood up, gently held Shen Jingyi in his arms, and said softly: "Okay, that's just my petty mind."

"Humph, then I won't bother with you."

After saying this, he started laughing.

King Xuan also smiled, bent down, picked up Shen Jingyi and walked to the bed, "Let's go, we should rest."

"Um"

On the bed, Shen Jingyi leaned in King Xuan's arms, feeling his warm embrace, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a happy smile.

King Xuan hugged her tightly, his eyes full of doting, and they both fell into a sweet dream together.

The next day, King Xuan went out early again.

But this time they went out openly and arrested the people who were monitoring them at the door.

After Shen Jingyi woke up, she just smiled when she heard about this.

If they were short-handed, they would have taken over the place long ago.

After breakfast.

Shen Jingyi suddenly remembered the woman that King Xuan rescued yesterday.

So he said, "Qiu Ju, let's go visit the girl who was rescued!"

"Okay! I'll just go over and change her dressing."

When Chuntao heard that they were going out, she hurried over to support Shen Jingyi.

This action made Shen Jingyi speechless. She thought that she was just pregnant, but why did she act like she was terminally ill? No matter where she went, there were people supporting her carefully.

Shen Jingyi pulled her hand out and said impatiently, "No need to help me, I can find the way myself. I feel so hot if you support me like this."

Chun Tao had no choice but to let go, but she still reminded him worriedly: "Then Concubine, please walk slower."

"I know."

Then she told Qiu Ju to lead the way.

"Okay, concubine, please pay attention to the threshold." Qiu Ju reminded.

Shen Jingyi couldn't help but rolled her eyes at her and said unhappily, "It's broad daylight, I'm not blind, I can see it clearly.

You really don’t need to be so cautious.”

In this way, the group walked slowly forward and slowly went towards the guest rooms.

At this time, Chen Juan in the guest room had also woken up. She was sitting on the edge of the bed, slowly eating the breakfast brought to her by the maid.

Her face was a little pale, but she seemed to be in good spirits.

"Girl, you are so lucky! If you hadn't met our prince last night, Sister Qiuju said you would have bled to death."

The little maid said with emotion while tidying up the room.

Hearing this, Chen Juan's eyes flickered.

She still remembered seeing a handsome face before she fell into a coma last night, and her heart was beating fast.

It turned out that he was actually a prince, and such a handsome prince at that.

"Which prince are you?" Chen Juan asked softly, with a hint of curiosity and anticipation in her eyes.

"Our master is Prince Xuan~" the little maid replied with a smile, her face filled with pride.

After hearing this, Chen Juan murmured softly, "King Xuan?"

Then, he continued, "Is he at home? I want to go and thank him in person."

"Our prince is out, but the concubine is here." The little maid answered truthfully.

Chen Juan frowned and sighed in disappointment: "When will the prince come back?"

"I don't know about that."

The little maid shook her head. This was not something they could inquire about.

Chen Juan bit her lip and secretly made up her mind that she would see King Xuan again no matter what.

Moreover, regarding the matter of her brother, perhaps King Xuan could help her find her brother.

Just as I was thinking this, I suddenly heard the voice of the little maid bowing.

"Meet the concubine."

"Get up!"

When I looked up, I met a pair of eyes as smiling as autumn water.

The other person's delicate features and fair skin made her feel a little inferior.

Even the maidservants around her were dressed more beautifully and exquisitely than she was.

"Girl, are you awake? Are you still feeling unwell?" Shen Jingyi asked with concern and walked to the bedside and sat down.

"Thank you for your concern, Concubine. Apart from the pain from the wound, everything else is fine. I'm Chen Juan, you can just call me Chen Juan!"

"Okay, Chen Juan, from what you said, I think you have been to school." Shen Jingyi asked curiously.

The main thing is that her clothes don’t make her look like the daughter of a wealthy family. After all, few people in that era would let girls go to school.

"I haven't really studied, but my elder brother taught me a few words."

"I guess your brother is quite knowledgeable."

Shen Jingyi curled up her lips into a warm smile, and was a little curious about Chen Juan's brother. He must be a man who loved his sister.

"Yes, my brother is a scholar."

A hint of pride flashed across Chen Juan's eyes, but then her expression dimmed again, "But I failed the imperial examination this year."

Her voice trembled slightly, revealing a hint of helplessness and loss.

Perhaps in this ancient time, the imperial examination was a path to a better life for every family, and failing the exam was undoubtedly a heavy blow.

After Shen Jingyi said a few words of encouragement, she asked again:

"Why did you roll down the mountain last night? You know, it's very dangerous for a woman like you to be on the mountain at night."

Speaking of this, Chen Juan's mood became even lower, with tears welling up in her eyes and threatening to fall at any time.

"I went to look for my brother.

A month ago, my brother suddenly came back and said that his score in the last exam was replaced by someone else, he did not fail, and he wanted to find out clearly.

Then he went out and never came back.

I heard recently that body parts are often found on that mountain.

I was thinking that maybe my brother had been murdered and left there, so I thought about going to look for him.

As a result, he met a wolf on the road and got lost while running for his life. He kept wandering around, and finally he accidentally stepped on empty air and rolled down the mountain.

Chen Juan's voice was filled with a hint of sadness and helplessness, which made people feel sympathy for her.

However, at this moment, Shen Jingyi suddenly asked: "What's your brother's name?"

She seemed to remember the scholar who had a tragic fate among the people in the Jade Mountain that Chuwu wrote about.

The scholar's name was "Chen Zhou", and the woman in front of him was also surnamed Chen. Could it be him?

Hearing Shen Jingyi's question, Chen Juan's eyes flashed with hope, and she quickly replied: "Chen Zhou, my brother's name is Chen Zhou."

As expected, it turned out that she was also a victim, a poor person who almost lost her family and lived alone.

"Concubine, can you ask the prince to help me find my brother? He is my only relative."

Chen Juan looked at Shen Jingyi with pleading eyes, as if she had placed all her hopes on her.

Shen Jingyi patted her hand gently and comforted her: "Don't worry, your brother is still alive, he will be back soon."

Her tone was firm yet gentle, giving people an inexplicable sense of trust.

Chen Juan widened her eyes and asked in disbelief, "Really?"

A glimmer of hope ignited in her heart, but she was afraid that it was just an illusory dream.

Shen Jingyi smiled and nodded, saying affirmatively: "Really, you can just rest here and recuperate for the next few days.

When you recover, maybe you can see your brother again."

Chen Juan was so grateful that tears welled up in her eyes again. She choked and said, "Thank you, Concubine. Thank you..."

She knew that she had met a noble person and she would never forget this kindness.
