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

The sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, and the weather is clear and pleasant.

Shen Jingyi sat by the window, holding needle and thread in her hands, concentrating on embroidering the lifelike fish.

I thought I could finish the embroidery today and the sachet would be finished tomorrow.

Suddenly, I heard hurried footsteps. I looked up and saw Qiuju walking in with a smile on her face.

Shen Jingyi asked curiously: "What good news is there that makes you so happy?"

Qiu Ju could not wait to reply: "Concubine, good news! Prefect Lin and the county magistrate have been arrested, and the prince is now in the yamen to uphold justice for the people!"

Upon hearing the news, Shen Jingyi's face showed surprise, "Really?"

"Oh, why didn't the prince tell me last night? Otherwise, I would have gone to the scene this morning to check it out."

Qiu Ju smiled and explained, "It's absolutely true! The prince didn't mention this last night. Maybe he was afraid that you would want to go and watch it live, so he deliberately concealed the news."

Nanny Qin at the side also reminded: "Concubine, have you forgotten that you are still pregnant?"

Shen Jingyi smiled awkwardly, "Haha, the child is so well behaved that I forgot about it."

After hearing this, the three of them were speechless.

After a moment of silence, Shen Jingyi suggested: "Why don't we go and deliver lunch to the prince at noon? He must be busy with his affairs and won't be able to eat well."

Nanny Qin disagreed, "Concubine, there are a lot of people near the government office. It might not be safe for you to go there. What if you get knocked down by someone?"

Shen Jingyi thought for a moment and then said, "Is there a restaurant opposite the government office? We can go there!"

"I don't know about that. How about I ask someone to go and take a look?" Qiuju said.

Chun Tao saw that Shen Jingyi really wanted to go, so she said, "Let me go and see! If there is one, I will book a private room and then have someone come back to inform you."

Qiu Ju smiled and continued, "We can also order the dishes first, so that we can eat when we arrive."

"you're right."

Chuntao agreed.

After hearing this, Shen Jingyi couldn't help but laugh and joked: "This is not sending food, it's clearly a dinner appointment!"

Chun Tao shook her head helplessly and said, "Do you want to deliver the food to the restaurant and then be kicked out by the boss?"

Shen Jingyi couldn't help but burst out laughing after hearing this: "Okay, okay, I get it. Go check it out quickly. Don't waste time, or you won't be able to book a private room later."

Chuntao nodded, said "OK", then turned and left.

However, before she had embroidered for long, another announcement came from outside the door: "A girl came outside and asked to see the concubine. She said her name was Sixteen."

Hearing this name, Shen Jingyi's eyes lit up instantly. She raised her head, secretly delighted in her heart, sixteen came so quickly!

He quickly said to the maid who came to report: "Let her in quickly."

Nanny Qin, who was standing by, saw that Shen Jingyi looked very excited when she heard the name, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Concubine, who is this Sixteenth Lady? Why haven't I heard you mention her before?"

Shen Jingyi raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and explained: "Sixteen is the person arranged by the prince to protect me. I heard that she is very skilled in martial arts and was born as a secret guard."

When Qiu Ju heard the news, she was immediately delighted and said excitedly, "That's great! With her by your side, your safety will be further protected."

Just then, there was a slight noise at the door.

Then, a figure quietly appeared in everyone's sight.

"Sixteen?" Shen Jingyi called out tentatively, her voice sounding particularly gentle in the room.

Her eyes fell on the girl at the door and she looked her up and down carefully.

The woman had a slim figure, a pretty face, and her eyes revealed a clever and determined look.

Sixteen nodded slightly, then walked forward without hesitation, knelt down and saluted, saying: "Your subordinate greets the concubine."

Seeing this, Shen Jingyi smiled and waved her hand, signaling the other party to stand up.

He pointed to the chair next to him and said kindly, "Come on, sit there, and let's talk."

However, Sixteen did not stand up, but continued: "The prince ordered me to come and protect you. From today on, you are my master."

Shen Jingyi smiled slightly, feeling very grateful for the prince's arrangement.

You know, it's not easy to train such a secret guard. Now he said he had rescued him. He didn't send him to protect himself, but gave him directly to himself.

This generosity made her very happy.

Thinking of this, I heard Sixteen say, "Master, please give me a name."

Shen Jingyi thought for a moment and said, "Then let's call her Chunliu."

"Yes, thank you, Master."

Upon seeing this, Nanny Qin immediately smiled and walked forward to pull Chunliu up, saying, "From now on, we are family members. You should not call the concubine "subordinate". You should call her "slave girl", understand? Otherwise, it will be too conspicuous."

"Okay, Mommy."

She had already investigated the people around the concubine before she came, so she could match them up as soon as she arrived.

"You came so quickly, it must be hard for you." Shen Jingyi said to the person in front of her.

"It's nothing." Chun Liu shook his head lightly, his tone calm, "I'm used to this kind of life. Compared with the missions I had before, this is nothing."

Qiu Ju, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but interrupt: "Chun Liu, I heard that you are very good at martial arts. Can you show us some?"

Her eyes sparkled with curiosity and anticipation.

Sixteen was slightly startled, then nodded: "If there is a chance, I will find time to let you see it."

After saying this, he glanced around the room, as if paying attention to the layout of the house and the surrounding environment.

This is the habit of their secret guards. Always be vigilant and don't miss any details.

Nanny Qin glanced at Chun Liu and thought she came at the right time, so she pulled her aside and said, "The concubine is pregnant. We will be leaving soon. Your job is to keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't get bumped into by anyone."

Chunliu looked at Shen Jingyi's belly and nodded.

"Don't worry, Mammy! I will take good care of the master."

Shen Jingyi held her forehead with her hand, thinking that they were exaggerating. If this happened in modern times, the streets would be full of pregnant women running around.

In fact, Shen Jingyi was lucky to be born in this body. If she went to the homes of poor people in the countryside, she would see that the pregnant women here were not as delicate as she thought and they also had to go to the fields.

Shen Jingyi was too lazy to care about them and started embroidering little goldfish again.

It’s a great sense of accomplishment to see the work being completed bit by bit through my fingers.

Seeing that Shen Jingyi had started embroidering again, Nanny Qin took Chunliu outside to talk.

She told Chunliu in detail about Shen Jingyi's living habits, and Chunliu took notes carefully.

After Shen Jingyi embroidered quietly for another quarter of an hour, the maid who had gone out with Chuntao came back.

"Concubine, there is indeed a restaurant opposite the government office, which overlooks the entire government office. When we arrive, there just happens to be one private room left, so Sister Chuntao has reserved it."

Shen Jingyi was overjoyed, "I understand, let's go down."

"Yes."
