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

Shen Jingyi looked at the cloth and asked in confusion: "Why did you take them all out?"

Nanny Qin replied with a smile: "Take it out and make you some loose clothes. When your belly becomes more obvious, you can wear them."

"Then you should make it for winter. The weather should be cooler when your belly gets bigger."

"Yes, concubine. Chuntao has gone to buy cotton. Take a look at what style you want. We can study it first."

Shen Jingyi gently stroked the soft fabrics, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes.

She turned to Nanny Qin and said, "I want to make a few simple and elegant styles, not too complicated, so that they are comfortable to wear."

Nanny Qin nodded in agreement: "Okay, concubine, the simple and generous style is most suitable for your status and will also facilitate your future actions.

We can choose some soft cotton fabrics and add some delicate embroidery to keep warm and look beautiful. "

Shen Jingyi smiled slightly. She liked Qin Ma's suggestion very much.

After thinking for a moment, she added, "As for colors, choose purple and light blue. Bright colors are more suitable for winter."

Nanny Qin smiled and replied, "Concubine has good taste, purple and light blue are both very suitable colors for you.

Let’s make two first to see how they perform, and then we can do the rest.”

Shen Jingyi responded with a smile.

Then he asked Chunliu and Qiuju to find two square tables and put them together.

Shen Jingyi looked at the length and nodded with satisfaction.

Afterwards, he asked Chunliu to bring out the moon-white cloth and place it on top.

"Spread it flat and try not to leave wrinkles." Shen Jingyi said, with a focused look in her eyes.

Chunliu moved quickly and deftly, making the cloth as smooth as a mirror.

"Mammy, today I want to draw the size of the clothes first, cut out the pattern, and then study what kind of flowers to embroider..."

As Shen Jingyi spoke, he elaborated on his thoughts one by one.

"Yes, concubine." Nanny Qin nodded slightly;

"However, before drawing the size, you must first consider the prince's body shape, shoulder width, chest circumference, waist circumference, etc."

When Shen Jingyi heard this, she smiled and said, "Don't worry! I've already thought about these."

"Qiuju, go get the prince a piece of clothing."

Qiuju responded, walked briskly into the inner room, and took out a coat.

"Look, isn't this the size?" Shen Jingyi said proudly.

Then, Shen Jingyi started to take action.

At this moment, Nanny Qin said in a serious tone: "Concubine, when measuring the size, you must leave some margin to ensure that it is more comfortable to wear.

You also need to consider the space for embroidery in your design.”

"I know, Mammy."

Chunliu and Qiuju were watching from the side. The two also didn't know how to do needlework. One had learned martial arts since childhood, and the other had studied medicine.

Therefore, when they saw Nanny Qin instructing Shen Jingyi, they were also quite curious.

However, the two of them just looked for a while and then walked away.

Both of them said that they couldn't understand it and couldn't learn it.

When Chuntao came back with a big bag of cotton, Shen Jingyi's clothes had already been cut.

Then they started to study her clothing styles. Several women were chattering together, and everyone put forward their own ideas. It was very lively.

Two days passed like this, and they finally decided on the plan and layout.

Anyway, there is still plenty of time and everyone is not in a hurry, so we can do it slowly.

Except for eating and sleeping, Shen Jingyi now spends all her time concentrating on making clothes.

She even stopped reading books and studying chess manuals. She was only focused on finishing the clothes before King Xuan returned.

Especially when she was lying in bed at night, she felt full of energy when she thought about the things in the bedside table.

At noon today, Shen Jingyi had just woken up from her nap when Chuntao came in and reported, "Concubine, Miss Chen is here and has been waiting for a while."

Shen Jingyi asked in confusion: "Why did she come here suddenly?"

Chuntao shook her head to indicate that she didn't know.

Shen Jingyi thought for a moment and said, "Since we are here, let's go and take a look! Guests are welcome."

So the two of them went to the reception room together.

Chen Juan had been sitting in the reception room and had already drunk two cups of tea, with Nanny Qin accompanying her.

The two chatted casually while waiting for Shen Jingyi to wake up.

After Shen Jingyi came in, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, they had waited for the meeting, but they didn't know what to talk about anymore. The main reason was that they were not very familiar with each other.

"Greetings, concubine." Chen Juan stood up and saluted.

"Miss Chen, there's no need to be so polite. Why are you here today?" Shen Jingyi asked with a smile.

"I'm here to say goodbye to the concubine. My brother and I plan to leave for the capital tomorrow." Chen Juan said.

"That's great! It will be a good thing for your brother if he can go there earlier and enter the academy to study earlier." Shen Jingyi nodded with a smile.

"Yes, we think so too." Chen Juan answered obediently.

Then he asked cautiously, "By the way, I wonder when you and the prince will return to Beijing."

Shen Jingyi smiled and politely replied: "It's hard to say. The prince is here on business. Of course, we will go back when we finish our work."

"Is that so?" A trace of disappointment flashed across Chen Juan's eyes.

Shen Jingyi looked at her expression and knew the purpose of the person in front of her.

But he didn't point it out, just asked calmly: "Miss Chen, do you have anything else to do?"

"Oh, no, I'll go back first. I'm still packing up at home."

Chen Juan came back to her senses and shook her head quickly.

"Well, go ahead! I won't keep you here if you have something else." Shen Jingyi nodded.

"Chuntao, please see Miss Chen off." Shen Jingyi turned around and instructed Chuntao.

"Yes, concubine."

"Miss Chen, please come this way."

Chen Juan then bowed and followed Chuntao out.

He sighed in his heart, "Alas, I came here for nothing. I didn't get any news about King Xuan."

After they left the house, Nanny Qin said to Shen Jingyi, "Concubine, I think Chen Juan is not a simple-minded person.

She had just asked me about the prince several times, but I always gave her the last word."

After hearing this, Shen Jingyi didn't take it to heart and said lightly: "It's okay! It's just unrequited love!"

Nanny Qin felt a little relieved when she saw that Shen Jingyi didn't seem to care;

But she was still a little worried and sighed, "Concubine, if you let her continue to inquire like this, it will inevitably cause trouble to the prince.

It would be better to tell the prince and give her some precautions."

"I understand Mammy's concerns."

Shen Jingyi smiled slightly and walked to the tree in the yard. The sunlight shone through the leaves, as if adding a layer of dreamy color for her.

"But I believe that the prince knows his limits. There are a lot of women like Chen Juan in the capital, and it's impossible to guard against them all."

"But..." Nanny Qin hesitated, with worry in her eyes.

"Mammy, you can't defend yourself against men who have intentions, especially powerful men."
