After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

Shen Yunjin smacked his lips. He didn't expect that his father would be so tough this time.

Shen's mother and Shen Yunchu were also stupid. They didn't even realize that when Shen's father slapped Shen Yunchu, he was actually helping her.

Father Shen was just a fifth-rank official, and even though Xiao Minshen was not favored, he was still a prince.

If Shen Yunchu's words were to reach the emperor's ears, the Shen family would definitely be in dire straits.

Go ahead and do it, the more the better, this way, Aunt Li will have a chance.

"By the way, this concubine wants you to go back to the mansion and ask your father for a few books as a dowry. You can go back the day after tomorrow, and then I will ask Jinzhi to give you the list of books."

After saying that, Shen Yunjin asked Hongliu to go back and rest quickly.

"Master, do you know what the errand the prince said he didn't want to go on?"

Jinzhi handed the teacup to Shen Yunjin and continued speaking.

"Just now, wasn't I looking for Hongliu? I ran into Fulu in the front yard, and that guy complained to me."

No wonder he doesn't come back after looking for someone for a long time, Shen Yunjin thought.

"So what kind of patrol officer did the Emperor assign to the prince? Fulu said it was just to catch thieves."

Shen Yunjin almost spit out the tea in his mouth.

The inspector of the Ministry of Personnel? Isn't he just an official who patrols the city?

No wonder Xiao Minshen said he didn't want to go.

Those who have some wealth in their family would donate an official position to the next generation, and I don’t know how much higher it is than this.

The emperor's mind was unpredictable, and Shen Yunjin couldn't understand what the emperor was doing.

But, who cares? She is just a concubine and all she needs to do is live her life well.

In her previous life, she married Zhao Jingyan and was disliked by her mother-in-law and relatives.

Everyone felt that it was a disgrace to the Zhao family for her, a little concubine's daughter, to marry the promising Zhao Jingyan.

They completely forgot that it was Zhao Jingyan who proposed this marriage.

In order to make her mother-in-law feel that she was worthy of her husband, she was forced to change her cautious habits and start planning for her husband.

She began to make friends with other ladies in the capital, and even became friends with the wife of the Grand Tutor of the Imperial College.

In this way, she accompanied her husband up one stair after another.

The result was that she was accused by her mother-in-law, saying that she was always in public and brought shame to the Zhao family.

Zhao Jingyan, who was standing on a high place, was also noticed by the princess.

In order to get rid of this stumbling block, the princess ordered people to poison her food.

Zhao Jingyan knew everything, but did not stop it.

Shen Yunjin thought that she fell seriously ill because of her poor health, and she was still making plans for her husband before she died.

Thinking of this, Shen Yunjin couldn't help but let out a self-deprecating smile.

In this life, she is no longer foolishly the woman behind her husband.

She just wants to be a leisurely person and protect the people she wants to protect in this life.

At the hour of Mao, Jinzhi woke up Shen Yunjin and told her that from today on, she had to pay her respects to the princess every day.

Shen Yunjin covered her face with a handkerchief soaked in cold water, which drove away the sleepiness.

"Concubine, I have brought you red dates and bird's nest porridge, silver thread rolls, and some cold dishes." Yuzhi arranged the food neatly.

Because Ning Ruyan's family was well-off, her daily ration was either bird's nest or health-preserving porridge, so the big kitchen would usually cook more so that the servants could also share some of the food that the master could not finish.

On the day of the return visit, everyone saw the prince personally accompanying Shen Yunjin back to the mansion. In order to curry favor with her, the people in the kitchen gave Yuzhi the food they usually hid.

"Where did the bird's nest porridge come from?" The fifth prince was very poor, and it was impossible for the palace to prepare bird's nest porridge for him as a concubine.

"This is the princess's share. Usually the kitchen staff hides it and eats it themselves. I don't know why they specifically asked me to bring it back today, saying that it is for the concubine."

Yuzhi was also confused, as the kitchen is a place with plenty of oil and water.

It has been nothing new for managers to steal their master's share since ancient times.

However, it is rare to see someone using things so blatantly to show off one's worth.

"Master, the people in the kitchen are not asking for anything from you, are they? Shouldn't this servant ask for anything?"

Yuzhi felt as if she had done something wrong and stood there at a loss.

Shen Yunjin patted her shoulder and said, "It's okay. We haven't mentioned it yet. Let's eat first."

In fact, servants are the best at judging people by their status and treating them well. Everyone thinks Shen Yunjin is favored, so they all try to show their goodwill towards her.

If you don't take advantage of it, you're a bastard!

Shen Yunjin was too lazy to think about what those people were thinking. As long as it wasn't poisonous, he would just eat it first.

After quickly finishing breakfast, the master and his servants hurried to Qixia Garden.

"Please wait a moment, Concubine. Our princess hasn't gotten up yet." Ning Ruyan's housekeeper was standing outside the room and said politely.

At this time, Shen Yunjin saw two beauties walking towards him hand in hand.

"My concubine greets the concubine." The two of them squatted down and saluted.

"Master, the thin one on the left is Concubine Shu, and the tall one on the right is Concubine An." Jinzhi whispered in Shen Yunjin's ear.

"Please get up, sisters. No need to be so polite." Shen Yunjin stretched out her hand to signal them to get up.

"Thank you, concubine." The two of them stood up gracefully.

Shen Yunjin felt it was a pleasure to look at her. This was what a woman was like. Every move she made was full of charm.

"The princess is up, everyone please come in." Nanny Zhao said in the corridor.

Ning Ruyan, who was sitting at the top, couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hands as she yawned.

It's really troublesome to be a princess. I have to get up early in the morning and wait for my husband's other women to pay their respects to me.

I don’t know who made this rule, but isn’t this torture?

She forced herself to stay awake and asked about everyone's diet and daily routine.

Then, he asked the two beauties if they had any problems that needed to be solved.

One of the beauties stood up and saluted gracefully.

"I want to ask the princess, when can my sister and I serve the prince?"

Shen Yunjin was a little daydreaming, but he immediately perked up after hearing this.

She remembered that this was Miss Shu, who had an oval face, black hair, a delicate nose and red lips. Because she was thin, her waist looked like a willow and she looked as graceful as a startled swan.

When Ning Ruyan heard this, she almost threw the teacup in her hand at her.

Being a princess not only means taking care of the servants in the palace, but also having to take care of your husband sleeping with other women?

She is a princess, and she hasn't even slept with the prince yet, and these pretty girls want to get there first?

Fortunately, the person she liked was not the King of Qi, otherwise, she would definitely be angry to death.

"You should ask Concubine Shen about this. After all, she is the one who sees the prince the most often now."

Ning Ruyan easily diverted the conflict.

Shen Yunjin didn't expect to be shot even when she was lying down. She quickly stood up and saluted, "I dare not influence your Majesty's whereabouts."

It is the wisest choice to put the blame on the prince, after all, he is the master of the palace.

"Concubine Shen should not dominate the prince. Instead, she should persuade the prince to treat everyone equally." Ning Ruyan added without giving up.

"My words are insignificant, not as important as the princess's in the prince's heart. Besides, I dare not overstep my authority."

Seeing Shen Yunjin kicking the ball back lightly, Ning Ruyan frowned and looked gloomy.
