Shen Jingyi had no idea that the woman who coveted her brother was already taking action.

Since she and Mrs. Xu had agreed to visit at 2 o'clock, she is still taking a nap now!

At this time, the courtyard of the mansion was quiet and peaceful, with only the occasional slight noise breaking the tranquility.

Nanny Qin was making a pillow with Qiuju. They planned to make one long and one square.

"Putting this long thing on the edge of the car can prevent collisions and stabilize your body,"

Nanny Qin said while measuring the size, "This square one is for padding the belly."

Chuntao was sorting out the clothes in the closet, folding the new ones that she couldn't wear neatly and putting them into boxes.

The old ones were put aside and would be dealt with after Shen Jingyi woke up and looked at them.

Chunliu was responsible for moving the boxes and cages. She carefully moved the boxes and cages to the designated location, for fear of waking up Shen Jingyi who was taking a nap.

As soon as the early morning (1 o'clock) arrived, Chuntao walked to the bed and gently woke up Shen Jingyi.

"Concubine, you should get up."

Shen Jingyi slowly opened her eyes, rubbed them, and gradually became conscious. She heard Chuntao's soft call and nodded slightly.

"Okay, Chuntao, I'll get up right away."

She sat up, stretched gently, and then asked Chuntao to change her clothes, fix her hair, and put on jewelry.

After everything was ready, Nanny Qin came in with a bowl of milk soup and placed it in front of Shen Jingyi.

Shen Jingyi picked it up and ate it without saying a word. She had now gotten used to this kind of life.

Feed him at least five meals a day, but fortunately the quantities are relatively small, otherwise he would not be able to handle it.

After eating, I felt refreshed and walked around twice.

Not long after, someone led Mrs. Xu in.

"Concubine, you look really good today." Madam Xu said with a smile.

Shen Jingyi smiled bitterly: "Maybe it's because I just woke up. I've been eating and sleeping all day now, and I've gained weight."

As he said this, he pinched his arms and face, indicating that he really had a lot of flesh on him.

Mrs. Xu was amused and quickly comforted him, "Hahaha, you're not fat. I think this is just right."

"Just comfort me!" Shen Jingyi smiled helplessly.

Then he took Mrs. Xu's hand and asked her to sit next to him.

"Come and sit here."

Madam Xu followed her strength and sat in the main seat.

Then he looked at the boxes in the corner and the things that were obviously missing in the hall and asked, "What are you doing? Why are all the things put away?"

Shen Jingyi smiled and replied: "I called you here today just to talk to you about this.

We will be back to Beijing soon."

Madam Xu asked in confusion, "But the prince is still on business in He County and hasn't come back yet!"

Shen Jingyi smiled lightly, with a hint of relief in her tone: "He's already on his way. He sent me a letter asking me to keep it first. We'll leave as soon as he arrives."

Madam Xu nodded. "That's good too. We can collect a little bit every day and we don't have to rush."

Shen Jingyi responded in agreement: "That's right!"

Then, with a gentle look in her eyes, she said to Madam Xu gratefully, "I really appreciate your care during the few months I was here.

When you come to the capital, if you don't mind me being just a concubine, you can come find me."

Madam Xu smiled cheerfully and replied, "You are joking. How could I dislike it? You are the one who got the Royal Jade Butterfly.

I will definitely come to bother you when I go to the capital."

A shy smile appeared on Shen Jingyi's face. She knew that although she was only a concubine, her status in Madam Xu's heart was also honorable.

This was an era when imperial power was supreme, and identity and status often determined a person's fate, but Shen Jingyi did not dwell on it.

She values ​​sincerity and friendship between people more.

The two continued chatting about other topics in the living room.

At this time, Qiu Ju came in with a few plates of freshly made snacks. These snacks were beautiful in shape, attractive in color, and fragrant.

You can tell at first glance that it is carefully made.

Mrs. Xu looked at the snacks and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. These were her favorite flavors.

So, I looked at Qiuju and said sincerely: "Thank you, Miss Qiuju, you are so thoughtful and remember my taste!"

Qiu Ju smiled and said, "This is all the instructions from the concubine."

Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "Thank you both. I like the food made by Miss Qiuju the most. It is not only beautiful but also delicious.

It’s a pity that you are going back to Beijing, so you won’t be able to eat it anymore.”

At the end he sighed, as if he was really sorry.

"Then you should eat more now." Qiuju said with a smile.

Mrs. Xu was not polite either. She picked up a piece of dessert, took a bite, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

Seeing this, Shen Jingyi also ate two pieces. The two of them continued their relaxed and pleasant conversation while enjoying the delicious snacks.

As we chatted and laughed, it was soon afternoon.

Shen Jingyi originally wanted to invite Mrs. Xu to have dinner.

However, Madam Xu said with some embarrassment: "Concubine, I'm so sorry, there are some things at home that I need to go back to deal with, I'm afraid I can't stay for dinner."

After Shen Jingyi heard this, although she felt a little regretful, she also knew the difficulties of being the head lady, so she smiled and said, "Madam Xu, you don't have to be polite. Family matters are more important. I hope that next time we have the opportunity, we can get together in the capital."

Madam Xu stood up, straightened her dress, and said with a smile: "Concubine, when I have the chance to go to the capital, I will definitely visit you again. Then I will also want to eat what Miss Qiuju cooks."

"Okay~ I'll make it for you when the time comes." Shen Jingyi agreed with a smile.

After Mrs. Xu left, Qiuju went to prepare dinner.

Shen Jingyi took Nanny Qin, Chuntao and Chunliu out for a walk in the garden.

Shen Jingyi held her waist with one hand and Chuntao held the other hand as she walked slowly.

"I've been sitting for a few hours and my waist feels a little sore. Chuntao, please give it a massage for me when we get back."

Chun Tao asked with concern: "Concubine, how about I give you a couple of presses now?"

Shen Jingyi refused: "No, I'll press it when I get back."

Then, she looked at Nanny Qin again, frowned slightly and said, "Mammy, why do my feet feel a little tight? Are my feet swollen again?"

After hearing this, Nanny Qin lifted up Shen Jingyi's skirt and took a look at her feet. It seemed that her shoes were a little tight, so she suggested, "Concubine, why don't we go back? I'll give you a massage when we get back."

"Okay~~ Let's go back!"

Shen Jingyi nodded, and then the few of them slowly walked back.

Two more days passed like this, and everything was packed up.

Shen Jingyi was about to go out for a walk, but suddenly saw a handsome man in the sunset, striding in. His figure looked particularly charming in the afterglow, and Shen Jingyi's heartbeat could not help but speed up a bit.

A happy smile appeared on his face, and he walked quickly forward and said with a smile: "My Lord, you are back."

King Xuan smiled slightly, with tenderness in his eyes.

"Yeah, I'll come back to pick you up."

As they spoke, the two hugged each other tightly, as if time had stopped at this moment.
