In the backyard of the palace, Shen Wei had spies everywhere, and the maids around the princess were naturally bribed by Shen Wei.

The morning and evening visits were not easy. The princess would definitely behave like a mistress and give Shen Wei a good beating.

Shen Wei took a sip of tea and smiled: "It's not a good rule to visit your parents every morning and evening."

Shen Wei was already very tired from serving the King of Yan every day. She would not spare any extra effort to serve the princess.

Shen Wei put down the teacup and came up with a plan in the blink of an eye.

The sun was slanting, the sky was full of stars, and the sound of insects could be heard from the courtyard of the Glazed Pavilion. The Prince of Yan was still in the East Palace and had not returned yet. After Shen Wei finished her dinner, she took a walk to digest the food, practiced Ba Duan Jin to keep fit, and practiced calligraphy in the study for half an hour.

It was getting darker, and the King of Yan hadn't returned yet. Shen Wei was too lazy to wait any longer, so she asked Cai Lian and Cai Ping to prepare bathing water, put red petals in the water, and then she took off her clothes and leisurely bathed in the wooden tub.

After a busy day, take a comfortable hot bath in the orchid room before going to bed, feeling relaxed and comfortable.

Jingle Bell--

The clear and regular sound of copper bells rang outside the orchid room, indicating that someone had returned.

Shen Wei sighed silently in her heart, she was afraid that she would suffer a lot tonight. A man who was full of energy and hadn't eaten for a long time was the most terrible.

With a creaking sound, the door opened, and a tall and slender figure slowly emerged from outside the gauze curtain.

The curtain was lifted and white mist spread.

Shen Wei turned around, the sound of splashing water was heard, and the wet red petals slid down her shoulders.

A faint fragrance floated in the air, mist was thick, Shen Wei's slender white hands rested on the edge of the wooden barrel, her wet eyes slightly raised, three parts shy and three parts charming.

She looked at the man who was so close to her and said softly, "My Lord, I am still bathing."

The Prince of Yan returned late at night, and his court robes had not yet been changed.

He looked at Shen Wei lying on the edge of the wooden barrel. The dim candlelight shone down, wetting her black hair and sticking to her delicate white shoulders. She looked shy and timid, like a seductive fox demon.

slam-la-

As the night deepened, the sound of water in the orchid room never stopped.

It took a long time to return to calm.

...

The next morning, a baby cried loudly outside the house. The wet nurse went to take care of the little master in the baby room, while Cai Lian and Cai Ping went outside the bedroom with water for washing their faces.

Usually at this time, both masters are awake.

But just as they reached the door, Cai Lian and Cai Ping suddenly heard ambiguous noises in the house.

After listening for a while, the two maids blushed. Cailian cleared her throat and whispered, "Caiping, let's... let's come back later. Put down the water for washing your face and go to the kitchen to see if the porridge is ready."

Cai Ping blushed: "Okay."

They waited until the sun was high in the sky.

Even Madam Rong was alarmed. Looking at the tightly closed door of the bedroom, Madam Rong sighed in her heart.

The Prince of Yan was in his prime, and his physical strength was extremely strong, so no concubine could bear it. Only Shen Wei and the Prince of Yan were in perfect harmony, and they indulged in pleasure.

In the past, Shen Wei was pregnant, and after giving birth, she took good care of herself. Prince Yan endured it for half a year, and Shen Wei had a really hard time.

As the time approached, the tightly closed bedroom door finally opened. The King of Yan dressed neatly, stretched his waist, and walked out of the bedroom door in high spirits, his handsome face showing satisfaction and comfort from inside to outside.

"Your Highness, would you like to have lunch in the Glazed Pavilion?" asked Aunt Rong.

Prince Yan was in a good mood: "No need. Take care of your master."

Prince Yan strode out of the Liuli Pavilion with his guards.

...

After Prince Yan left, Cai Lian and Cai Ping hurried into the bedroom to serve.

Caiping opened the window to let the cool breeze into the room, and put fresh and fragrant pink roses into the vase. Cailian helped Shen Wei change her clothes and prepare for a bath.

Shen Wei soaked in the comfortable hot water, feeling like crying but unable to cry... She needs to exercise more.

A dog man, not a human being.

"Master, the prince asked the butler Fugui to send you some blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicine." Cai Lian walked into the house, holding two delicate small boxes with a medicinal scent in her hands.

Shen Wei took the medicine and had lunch, but she felt listless the whole day and her legs shook when she walked.

In the evening, Prince Yan returned to his residence and had dinner with Shen Wei. Shen Wei ate the exquisite food and looked up at Prince Yan. His handsome eyes were shining, and it seemed that he was not eating dinner, but rather wanted to swallow Shen Wei.

Shen Wei: ...

Next, Shen Wei struggled through three days.

This cannot be blamed on the King of Yan for being greedy for pleasure.

It was really that Shen Wei was too charming. She became even more charming after giving birth to a child. She had fair skin and a slender waist. Her every frown and smile moved King Yan.

Shen Wei was the exclusive one customized for him by God. Every aspect of her matched the King of Yan, and the King of Yan was deeply obsessed with her.

It was not until the fourth day when the King of Yan was ordered to inspect river affairs in the coastal prefectures that Shen Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She pretended to be reluctant to send the King of Yan away, and finally had a comfortable sleep after returning to her room.

After sleeping until noon, Shen Wei got up and washed up. She had to go out of the house today to see Shen Xiuming off to his new post outside the city.

With the protection of the Prince of Yan, Shen Xiuming got the official certificate to take up his post in Jiangnan. Shen Xiuming and his mother prepared to set off at noon, heading south along the official road to Jiangnan.

The carriage drove all the way out of the city.

There were not many people on the official road. Shen Wei lifted the curtain and saw a gray carriage parked at the intersection from a distance. Shen Xiuming and his mother had not set off yet, and his mother was looking around anxiously.

"Third girl!" Seeing Shen Wei getting off the carriage, Shen's mother hurried forward and held Shen Wei's hand.

Shen Xiuming also called out, "Sister."

Shen Wei wore a plain gray-silver dress and two white jade hairpins on her head. She held Shen's mother's hand and choked up, "Mother..."

"Girl, why do you look so haggard?" Mother Shen saw the faint dark circles under Shen Wei's eyes, the broken skin at the corners of her mouth, and her whole body was listless, as if she had experienced tremendous torture and destruction.

Mother Shen felt as if her heart was being stabbed with needles.

His eyes fell on Shen Wei's wrist, where there were clear red marks, as if they were caused by a rope.

Shen Wei pulled back her sleeves to hide the redness on her wrists, and forced a smile: "I didn't sleep well last night, mother, don't worry. Thanks to my brother, I am now a concubine in the palace, and no one dares to hurt me."

Mother Shen tried hard to suppress her sadness.

Shen's mother knew that although Shen Wei was a concubine, she was a farmer's daughter after all. The concubines and mistresses with prominent family backgrounds in the palace would definitely look down on Shen Wei.

If Shen Wei wants to gain a firm foothold in the palace, she has to rely on Shen Xiuming.

"Mom, where is my second sister?" Shen Wei looked around but didn't see her sister Shen Qiang.

Mother Shen shook her head, her tone bitter: "I don't allow your sister to come. Stay in Nanshan and you won't be discovered by Liu."

It turned out that Shen Qiang's ex-husband Liu Boyuan had failed in business and squandered all his money. The family's farmland was not properly taken care of and almost no harvest was obtained last year.

At this time, Liu Boyuan realized the importance of Shen Qiang and traveled thousands of miles to Yanjing to look for her. Soon after arriving in Yanjing, Liu Boyuan learned that Shen Qiang's younger brother Shen Xiuming had passed the imperial examination and Shen Qiang's sister had become a concubine in the palace!

Liu Boyuan was overjoyed and looked everywhere for Shen Qiang in an attempt to get back together.

"Mother-in-law, brother-in-law! It's so hard for me to find him!" As she was speaking, a deep and shrewd voice sounded.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

Shen Qiang's ex-husband Liu Boyuan came running in breathlessly. He was slightly fat, had a mustache, and his shrewd eyes swept around. Since entering Beijing, Liu Boyuan had been looking for Shen Qiang's whereabouts, but unfortunately the Shen family kept Shen Qiang's whereabouts a secret, so Liu Boyuan could only follow the Shen family.

He politely saluted Shen Xiuming, glanced at Shen Wei, and saluted respectfully again: "Auntie, I haven't seen you for many years. You have become more beautiful than ever. No wonder His Royal Highness Prince Yan likes you so much."
