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

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Shen Jingyi's belly is already five months big.

At this moment, she was holding a letter in her hand, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, reading it seriously.

But slowly the smile on her face disappeared, and seemed to be filled with a hint of sadness.

Chuntao, who was standing by, curiously observed the changes in Shen Jingyi's expression, and gently nudged Chunliu, who was peeling melon seeds, with her elbow.

He lowered his voice and asked softly, "What did the prince say in the letter to the concubine?

Why was the concubine smiling so happily just now, but her smile disappeared in a moment? "

Chunliu shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

As a secret guard, her job does not allow her to have a strong curiosity about her master's affairs. They usually do whatever their master says.

After Shen Jingyi finished reading the letter, Chunliu stood up and silently brought a plate of freshly peeled melon seeds to Shen Jingyi's hands.

Shen Jingyi thanked her with a smile.

Then, she let out a breath as if she was suddenly relieved, and a gentle smile appeared on her face again.

"We will be returning to the capital in a few days, so you can put away some of the things you don't need."

At this time, Qiu Ju came in with a bowl of bird's nest. She happened to hear this and asked happily, "Are we finally going back?"

Chun Tao also said excitedly: "Concubine, have you finished the prince's mission?"

"Yeah! He should be on his way back now."

When mentioning King Xuan, Shen Jingyi's face also showed a trace of longing. They haven't seen each other for more than three months.

Thinking back to what he said in the letter, I wonder if he really has become darker and thinner.

Nanny Qin also put down her needlework, looked at them and said with a smile: "Look how happy you are. Anyway, we have nothing to do now, so let's get started!"

"Okay," Chuntao agreed, and suddenly she cried out "Ah".

Then he looked at Shen Jingyi anxiously and said, "I, the concubine, want to go out of the house to buy some boxes and crates. Our boxes and crates are not enough."

Shen Jingyi felt a headache when she thought about the things in her room. It seemed that she had bought too many.

Those were the things she bought when she was able to go out and took people shopping. She couldn't bear to throw them away, so she wanted to take them back.

So, in response to Chuntao's request, he urged her, "Then go quickly! Buy a few more. We have bought a lot of things during this period."

"Yes," Chuntao replied and walked out briskly.

Shen Jingyi looked at everyone so happy and asked doubtfully: "Don't you like it here?"

When Qiuju heard Shen Jingyi's question, the smile on her face became even brighter.

She put down the bird's nest in her hand and replied softly: "Concubine, of course we like it here.

The scenery here is picturesque and the air is fresh, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

However, Beijing is our home, where our relatives and friends are, and everything we are familiar with.

Although we are having a good time here, we are always worried about the capital."

Shen Jingyi sighed. Yes! Everyone has their own concerns. She just feels a little reluctant to give up the freedom here.

When we return to the palace, we won’t have the comfort we have now.

After all, there is a princess above her in the palace!

There are also a few women waiting to eat meat, just thinking about it makes me sad.

However, she also understood that you can't have your cake and eat it too, so she decided not to be too greedy, lest she end up changing beyond recognition.

Besides, her current life already makes her feel very satisfied. Isn't it what she dreams of to have everything she wants, to be rich and beautiful?

She remembered seeing a discussion on Doudou in modern times, saying that as long as she was given 100,000 yuan a month, she would be willing to serve her husband's mistress.

What's more, King Xuan gives her more now, and she doesn't need to serve anyone personally.

After thinking this through, Shen Jingyi stopped worrying about it and felt much better.

She happily took the bird's nest that Qiuju brought over and started eating it slowly.

Nanny Qin saw that Shen Jingyi looked a little sad and was about to go and talk to her.

But, it seems to be fine now?

She liked this most about Shen Jingyi. No matter what happened, she could always adjust her mindset and find solutions to the problems without anyone's advice.

After Shen Jingyi finished eating the bird's nest in the bowl, she put the bowl down, took the handkerchief handed to her by Qiuju and wiped her mouth, then began to instruct Qiuju and Chunliu to put away the decorations.

"Put away the little wooden horse and the puppy. They can be used as toys for the baby later."

As Shen Jingyi spoke, she pointed at the wooden horse and puppy on the table.

At this time, Qiu Ju pointed to a plum vase and asked, "Concubine, do you want to keep this bottle?"

Shen Jingyi took a look at the plum vase, shook her head and said, "No, it's not valuable. I just thought it looked nice at the time, so I bought it for flower arrangement.

Later, I saw that this place was empty, so I filled it up.”

"What about this embroidered ornament?" Qiuju asked, picking up another embroidered ornament.

Shen Jingyi looked at the embroidered ornament and said with some regret: "I don't want this either. I can't take so much."

Nanny Qin looked at the shelves and saw that there were many worthless trinkets, so she suggested, "How about Concubine, take a look at the shelves and pick a few that you like and take them away. If there are too many, I will tell you that I can't take them."

Shen Jingyi thought about it and felt that what Nanny Qin said made sense, so she walked to the shelf and started to choose carefully.

She first picked up a set of small purple clay teapots, looked at them, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Then I'll take this set of small purple clay teapots."

Then she picked up another set of small gourds, looked at them, and liked them too, saying, "This set of small gourds is also good."

Then she picked up a few more small stones, looked at them, and said, "These small stones are also very interesting."

Finally, she looked at a wood carving and thought it was very exquisite, so she collected it as well.

After making the selection, Shen Jingyi looked around again to make sure nothing was missed before saying to Qiu Ju and Chun Liu, "Just take these!"

Then she suddenly thought of Madam Xu. This lady had always treated her well, and it was only right that she should say goodbye to her.

So, she instructed Nanny Qin, "Nanny, go to the prefectural government and ask Madam Xu to come to our house tomorrow. You must let her know before you leave."

Nanny Qin responded with a smile, "Yes, concubine, it's my duty." After saying that, she turned around and left quickly.

After Nanny Qin's figure disappeared at the door, Shen Jingyi turned back to the shelf, glanced at the little gadgets again, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Although these little gadgets are not valuable, she still liked them very much when she bought them. Some of them even have local characteristics.

It’s a pity that the journey is so long that it is really inconvenient to carry it.

Shen Jingyi sighed softly, reached out her hand and gently stroked these small objects, as if saying her final goodbye to them.

Each item carries her memories of this place, but now she can only leave them here.

After touching everything, Shen Jingyi called Qiuju and Chunliu to her room and asked them to put away the things bought for the baby and King Xuan first.

They didn't have much, only two boxes were filled.

Then there is Shen Jinyi's book.

They separated the ones they had seen and those they had not seen, and put the ones they had seen at the bottom of the box and took them back.

Put aside the ones you haven't read. These are to be taken on the carriage to help Shen Jingyi pass the time when she's bored.
