Don't be a salted fish, the daily life of the concubine in the palace

Prince Yan asked the imperial physician to take Shen Wei's pulse.

He stood beside the bed and saw a set of gorgeous men's clothes hanging on the clothes rack not far away.

It was an open-fronted robe made of luster brocade with a cross collar. The garment was exquisitely sewn and came with a light-colored silk belt.

With just one glance, the King of Yan knew how well the dress fit him.

Every stitch and every thread is Shen Wei's love.

And he actually thought that Shen Wei was greedy and arrogant...For a moment, King Yan was invaded by guilt. He almost let down a girl who loved him wholeheartedly.

Shen Wei has him in her heart, even if she has some small flaws of arrogance and greed, it is not a big deal.

This heavy love is the most precious.

King Yan completed his self-strategy silently.

After the imperial physician took the pulse, he reported to the Prince of Yan: "Your Highness, Master Shen is weak, his internal organs are damaged, and he has a slight fever. I will immediately prescribe a prescription to treat Master Shen."

King Yan urged: "Go quickly."

Cai Lian followed the imperial physician to get the medicine and boiled it overnight.

Everyone left, leaving only the sleeping Shen Wei and King Yan in the room. King Yan sat at the head of the bed, holding Shen Wei's slender hand.

He murmured, "You are the first woman to make clothes for this king personally."

As the prince of Daqing, all his clothes were prepared by the clothing bureau of the imperial palace. Even his mother, his legal wife, had never made clothes for him.

Shen Wei was the first one.

She had never asked Prince Yan about his waist size, but she was able to make clothes that fit him.

King Yan was overwhelmed with emotions: moved, loved, and relieved.

Shen Wei was ill, and the King of Yan was afraid of disturbing her rest, so he stayed in Fangfei Garden until late at night, and then left with his glittering brocade clothes. Before leaving, he repeatedly told the maids and eunuchs to take good care of Shen Wei.

Supplements were also delivered to Fangfei Garden like a stream.

The next morning, Shen Wei woke up yawning. She had a very good sleep.

Get ill?

Of course she wasn't sick, she was just pretending. The doctor found out that she was not in good health, it was an old illness of her body.

Even when making clothes for the King of Yan, Shen Wei only provided the King of Yan's measurements. As she often slept with the King of Yan, Shen Wei naturally knew his body size.

The tailoring and embroidery of the clothes were all done by Rong Mama, Caiwei and Caiping.

Shen Wei jumped out of bed and ran a few laps in the spring-filled yard as usual, then curled back into bed and continued to pretend to be sick.

Not long after he lay down, Prince Yan, who had just left the court, came to visit him.

"Your Highness." Shen Wei opened her eyes weakly and stretched out her hand to the King of Yan. Her face was white as snow, her black hair was scattered on the pillow, she was just the age of a delicate flower, and her sick appearance was particularly pitiful.

King Yan held her hand and said, "Weiwei, you are feeling better now."

Shen Wei smiled weakly: "Your Majesty, please try the dress to see if it fits you. If it doesn't, I will make some alterations."

If it were any other concubine, she would definitely say how miserable she was due to her illness and take the opportunity to gain the favor of the King of Yan.

But Shen Wei was different, she did not mention her "illness" at all, but first mentioned the clothes she gave to King Yan. This would make King Yan think that she cared about him wholeheartedly and did not even care about her own health.

"It fits me well." Prince Yan held Shen Wei's hand, his handsome eyes filled with special emotions, "Making clothes is hard work, so let the servants do this kind of work in the future."

Prince Yan went back last night and tried on the dress.

Perfect fit!

Every stitch and every thread is Shen Wei's love, how could he not be moved?

Shen Wei's eyes widened, and she said angrily, "The clothes I made myself are different from those made by others. How can I let others make them?"

After a pause, Shen Wei seemed to feel that her words were too overbearing. She lowered her eyes in grievance and said sullenly, "Your Majesty, please don't blame me... When I saw the floating brocade that day, I thought it was suitable for making clothes for Your Majesty. I just hope to be nicer to Your Majesty."

Her attitude was like that of a jealous little girl, her heart and eyes filled with love.

She stole the Fuguangjin just to make clothes for the prince. What did she do wrong?

As for the half of the floating brocade that was left over from making clothes, she kept it for herself. What was wrong with that?

Prince Yan felt warm in his heart and thought, she really loves me!

But he was worried about Shen Wei's health after all, so the King of Yan deliberately said seriously: "Be obedient, and take good care of yourself, which is the greatest good for me. I asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to select some good fabrics, and I have sent someone to deliver them to make new clothes for you."

This silly girl was so busy making new clothes for him that she forgot about herself.

The Prince of Yan specially sent her some fine fabrics to make some beautiful dresses so that she could attend the Spring Banquet next month.

Shen Wei pouted, looked up at King Yan, then shrank back into the quilt and hid in anger.

Seems to be sulking.

In bed, Shen Wei rolled her eyes in disdain - this old lady is so fake, ugh~

Outside the bed, Prince Yan smiled indulgently - jealous and arrogant, so cute.

Prince Yan stayed with Shen Wei for a while in Fangfei Garden. As he was busy with official duties, he got up and left.

As the prince of Daqing and the crown prince's right-hand man, although Prince Yan dotes on Shen Wei, he will not allow himself to become overly obsessed with women.

Before leaving, King Yan did not forget to take a look at the vegetable garden.

The cabbage seedlings have grown out, and the radish seedlings have also grown out. Their fresh and tender leaves are waving in the wind, and they are growing well.

He looked at the half of the vegetable field planted by Shen Wei. The cabbage seedlings were green and yellow, and several radish seedlings had died.

Prince Yan felt an infinite sense of accomplishment in his heart. His vegetable-growing skills were still more impressive.

...

Early in the morning, the maid Zhang Yue came out of the greenhouse with a pot of gardenia in her hand and deliberately passed by Fangfei Garden.

Who doesn’t know that Shen Wei from Fangfei Garden has fallen out of favor?

Zhang Yue gloated over other people's misfortune.

Fortunately, she was rational enough not to become the prince's concubine. Otherwise, she would have become a joke in the palace.

When she reached the gate of Fangfei Garden, Zhang Yue suddenly saw the Prince of Yan coming out of the Moon Gate. The dim morning light made the Prince of Yan look particularly handsome.

Zhang Yue was stunned.

Didn't Shen Wei fall out of favor? Why did the prince come to Fangfei Garden?

Zhang Yue hid behind the big elm tree and heard King Yan instruct Fugui: "Ask the imperial physician to Fangfei Garden every day to check Weiwei's pulse. She must not like greasy food when she is sick, so ask the kitchen to research some new dishes."

Fugui smiled and said, "I will obey your order. As the one that is dear to the prince's heart, we will naturally serve him well."

After the King of Yan and his servants left, Zhang Yue, who was hiding behind a big tree, looked annoyed and dug her fingernails deeply into her palms.

What's going on? Why is Shen Wei favored again?

...

After Prince Yan left, Shen Wei quickly got up. The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent her ten pieces of fine fabric and many exquisite and delicious snacks.

Shen Wei asked Cai Ping to fetch the remaining Fu Guang Jin. She made a piece of clothing for the King of Yan, and there was still half a piece of material left.

Shen Wei touched the soft satin and couldn't let it go.

Cai Lian suggested: "Master, how about I use the remaining half piece of floating brocade to make you a set of clothes? The leftovers can be used to make some sachets."

Shen Wei shook her head.

The floating brocade was too expensive. If she wore it and flaunted it everywhere, it would definitely attract the princess's jealousy. The princess came from a famous family and had a child. Shen Wei could not compete with her at all.

Her position is not too stable now, so she cannot bring trouble to herself.

After thinking for a while, Shen Wei instructed Cai Lian: "Send this half piece of floating brocade out of the palace and sell it in a cloth shop. Be careful not to let anyone find out."

Of this piece of glittering brocade, the good half was used to make clothes for Prince Yan, and the remaining half was of a slightly inferior color.

Although the quality is slightly lower, it is still valuable and even a small piece can be sold at a very high price.

"Okay, I'll do it right away." Cai Lian understood what he meant. She put away the half piece of cloth and left the palace in a low-key manner.

Shen Wei took a sip of tea, looked into the yard, and looked at the servants of Fangfei Garden.

Two young eunuchs were trimming weeds. One was called Jixiang and the other was called Deshun. They came from humble backgrounds but were quite diligent in their work.

Rong Mama has extensive experience and is good at accounting, so Shen Wei handed over her small treasury to her for management.

The two maids are the most loyal: Cailian is smart and reliable, while Caiping is gossipy and good at finding out information.

Shen Wei made use of the expertise of these employees and worked hard to make Fangfeiyuan bigger and stronger.

Cailian went out to sell floating brocade, while Caiping took a small bag of medicinal herbs and walked into the house to tell Shen Wei: "Master, the newly bought medicinal herbs have arrived."

Shen Wei said: "Put it in the cupboard and hide it."

As Cai Ping put the small medicine bag into the secret cupboard, she couldn't help but lower her voice and said, "Master, you are favored by the prince, why do you need to take the contraceptive soup?"

Ever since she and Prince Yan consummated their marriage, Shen Wei would drink contraceptive soup every second day, without fail. The small medicine bag Cai Ping had just brought back contained the ingredients for the contraceptive soup.

Caiping couldn't understand. If she had a child, wouldn't her master's position in the palace be more secure?

Shen Wei shook her head: "You don't understand, having a child also requires the right time."

Her current body is not suitable for childbirth. If her physique is not strong, giving birth will be difficult and will leave ugly stretch marks.

Men are creatures who say one thing and mean another.

He says he loves you, but when he sees your ugly, shriveled body, he becomes disgusted and turns away to find other women to have sex with.

Shen Wei just wants to take care of her body now.

Caiping put the new ingredients for the contraceptive soup into the cupboard, and secretly took out the dregs of the previous contraceptive soup and poured them into the pile of weeds outside Fangfei Garden.

There were often civet cats in that patch of weeds, and almost no one visited it. Cai Ping dumped the medicine residue and left, thinking that she had done it perfectly, but she didn't know that a figure had been secretly following her.

Zhang Yue quietly crawled into the weeds, turned over the soil, and saw the remaining drug residue inside.

Zhang Yue frowned. The medicine residue smelled weird. "Why are you so secretive about pouring out the residue? Is there something wrong with the medicine?"

She collected the medicine residue and left quietly, planning to ask the doctor when she had time. If she really found out that Shen Wei had made a mistake, Zhang Yue would definitely take the opportunity to add insult to injury.

If you ask yourself honestly, there is actually no conflict between Zhang Yue and Shen Wei.

But Zhang Yue was very narrow-minded. She felt very uncomfortable when she saw Shen Wei enjoying such great success.

We agreed to be maids together, but you secretly became the favored one. Zhang Yue was very unwilling to accept this.
