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

County government warehouse.

King Xuan, along with Censor Wang and Captain Liao, stood at the gate which was piled with gold, silver, jade and stones.

Inside the door, the gold, silver, jade and stones were piled so high that it was almost impossible to open your eyes.

The boxes of silver, the large chunks of jade, and the chests filled with jewellery and scrolls dazzled them.

The two of them just felt dizzy. Forgive them for never having seen so much money in their lives.

King Xuan picked up an account book from the box beside him, handed it to Wang Yushi, and said, "This is the sorted account book, you can check it."

Censor Wang took the account book respectfully and called several soldiers to count it together.

King Xuan left Chuba here to guard the place and he turned around and left.

He had a lot of things to deal with and didn't have time to stay here and count money with them.

In the hall of the county government, a young man and an old servant had been waiting for a long time.

King Xuan walked in.

The two of them knelt down and saluted, saying respectfully, "Greetings, Prince Xuan."

King Xuan smiled and motioned for them to stand up, then slowly walked to the desk and sat at the back before asking, "Master Wen, do you know why I asked you to come here today?"

Wen Yizhou nodded and replied respectfully: "Your Highness, I know."

He took a deep breath, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and then he said: "For this jade mountain, my family has been destroyed and I have been hiding for three years.

Now, I have thought it through clearly. I am willing to give up this jade mountain and dedicate it to the imperial court."

King Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Wen Yizhou with a half-smile;

"Think carefully. Once you step out of here, you won't have the chance to regret it."

Wen Yizhou nodded again without hesitation and said firmly: "Yes, I have thought about it."

The corner of King Xuan's mouth raised a smile, "Very good, you are a good businessman, you know how to make choices, and you know how to judge the situation."

Wen Yizhou was not modest, but continued with a smile.

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."

King Xuan looked at Wen Yizhou and smiled, then said, "Don't worry, the court won't take your things for nothing."

"The seventh day of the lunar month."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chuqi gently placed a box in his arms on the table and opened the lid.

I saw that it was filled with neatly stacked silver bills.

King Xuan pointed at the banknotes and said to Wen Yizhou, "This is the reward from the court to you, a total of 100,000 taels."

Hearing this number, Wen Yizhou couldn't help but be overjoyed and his heart was filled with gratitude.

He immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying excitedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"

In fact, his grandfather had already sent people to explore this jade mountain, and it should be able to be mined for about five years;

But after excavation by their family and Lin Desheng, there is only about a year left.

But he had no intention of taking it back, after all, his family could not be kept in its current condition.

That's why I wanted to present it to the court as a favor, hoping that King Xuan would take care of it in the future.

Unexpectedly, King Xuan was so generous that he gave him 100,000 taels of silver.

With this money, he can slowly build his own business.

Thinking of this, he felt that it would be better for him to tell the truth, so that the court would not find out the problem and cause trouble for him in the future.

So he looked up at King Xuan and said, "Your Majesty, the jade on this Jade Mountain can only be mined for about another year."

The corners of King Xuan's mouth slightly raised, seemingly not surprised, and replied calmly: "This King knows."

Wen Yizhou was shocked. He didn't expect King Xuan to know about it. Then he felt relieved. It was a good thing. He would have nothing to do with it in the future.

"Okay, let's go back! I still have official business to attend to."

King Xuan waved his hand to signal Wen Yizhou that he could leave.

"Yes, please excuse me."

After Wen Yizhou bowed, he turned around and left with his old servant.

After the two men left, King Xuan began to deal with official business, which was all the mess left by Lin Desheng and Wu Dawei.

At noon, Chuqi walked in cautiously and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Miss Chen Juan is here to deliver food again."

King Xuan didn't even raise his head.

"No, let her take it back."

"Yes,"

Chuqi was also helpless! They had been sending gifts for three consecutive days, saying that they were thanking the prince for saving their lives;

Who can't see it! She has taken a fancy to their prince.

Alas, it’s all because their prince is so handsome that he attracts many women wherever he goes.

Chuqi arrived at the gate of the county government office and met Chen Juan's expectant eyes. He tried to lower his voice and said, "Miss Chen, our prince said no, so he asked you to take it back."

Hearing this, Chen Juan's face immediately darkened, like a petal blown off by the wind, losing its vitality.

She lowered her head, bit her lip, and finally tried to force a smile: "Is that so! Then I'll give it to you."

As she said that, she stuffed the basket in her hand into Chuqi's hand, then turned around and ran away.

Chuqi took the thing and looked at it blankly, wondering why it was given to me again.

At this time, Chuwu came over and took the basket away.

"If you don't want to eat, give it to me! Look what we have today."

Chuqi reacted and quickly chased after him.

"Uh, please leave some for me! I'm still hungry!"

Shen Jingyi was not idle at home either. She was directing Chuntao and Chunliu to find all of King Xuan's clothes.

She found a few pieces of clothing she often wore and wrapped them in a bag.

The rest were put into boxes and cages, along with some daily-needed items, and they were ready to be loaded onto a carriage and sent to He County tomorrow.

In the kitchen, Qiu Ju was making fried noodles, which is a bit like our instant noodles, but not as complicated. The noodles here are fried for easy storage and carrying. When eating on the road, you can just boil them in water and then put on the toppings, which is also very convenient.

Nanny Qin was making pastries. She was making egg yolk pastries and rose pastries, both of which are easy to preserve and not easily crushed.

Finally they also opened a pork shop and white steamed buns.

In the evening, when King Xuan returned, these things had already been sorted and packed and could be taken away directly the next day.

King Xuan looked at the several large bags full of food, feeling a little helpless and a little moved.

He walked over and hugged Shen Jingyi, and whispered, "Why did you prepare so much? What's in it?"

Shen Jingyi broke free from King Xuan’s embrace, walked to the table and introduced: “This is fried noodles, and this gourd contains fried toppings;

There are egg yolk pastries and rose pastries here, and this is the pork shop.

This is a cake. If you can hunt prey, you can just cook a pot of soup and eat it with this cake, which is also very good.

These are easier to carry.

I thought that you might miss the post station if you were in a hurry, so I prepared some food that would be filling."

King Xuan was moved and hugged Shen Jingyi, saying gently: "Thank you, Yier. What you prepared is very much to my liking, very good."

Shen Jingyi leaned in King Xuan's arms, feeling his warmth, and said softly: "These are nothing, I just hope that you can be safe and sound in He County and return soon."

King Xuan nodded, looked at Shen Jingyi affectionately, and said, "Don't worry, I will deal with the affairs of He County as soon as possible and return to you as soon as possible.

I will miss you every day."

The two hugged each other tightly, and Shen Jingyi gently teased King Xuan's body with her hands from time to time.

This intimate gesture made King Xuan feel numb and excited.

His breathing gradually became heavy, but he still tried to control his desire.

"Yier, you can't do this now." King Xuan said softly, with a hint of helplessness and worry in his tone.

Shen Jingyi smiled mischievously and said, "It's okay, I have a way." There was a hint of cunning in her eyes.
