Without staying any longer, Cailian dragged Caiping away.

Cai Ping was dragged away for more than ten meters. She turned around and scolded Xiang Er: "I have never seen anyone so stupid. She rushed over to die! She thought her death was valuable, but she became a stepping stone for others. Bah! It's a waste of life!"

The morning breeze blew, Xiang'er froze in place, her mind a mess.

...

Cai Lian and Cai Ping played the good cop and the bad cop respectively. After using both kindness and force to punish Xiang Er, they returned to Liuli Pavilion to report.

Shen Wei leaned on the soft chaise longue, holding the account book in her hand, and said helplessly: "Can't the princess be more content?"

Fortunately, Shen Wei was prepared.

In the palace, everyone is under her watch. The servants in the palace are all on her side. Several maids in the princess's courtyard have received money from Cai Ping. If the princess wants to do something naughty, the maids will tell Liuli Pavilion about it immediately.

"Don't worry, master. Someone is watching the movements over there." Cai Ping comforted with a smile.

Shen Wei drank some tea to relieve her fatigue and said enviously, "Sometimes I really envy the princess. She doesn't know how to appreciate the blessings she has."

With a big family as a backer, the princess can sit firmly in the position of mistress. Someone is there to manage her household, someone is there to raise her children, and she doesn't have to serve a man. The princess can worship Buddha in the yard every day, eat well and wear warm clothes. It's simply a good life like a god.

If only the princess could be more open-minded, give up fighting for power and fame, her life would be considered happy!

This is the lying-down life that Shen Wei has always dreamed of!

It’s a pity that lying down is the privilege of wealthy aristocrats, and only rich people have the capital to do things in a bad way.

Shen Wei was born in a low-class family with an average background. If she lay down and let things go, the only thing waiting for her would be a miserable death.

Only the poor are content with themselves. If you have power and influence, who would want to be the poor king of contentment?

Shen Wei silently comforted herself, it doesn't matter, everything is about suffering before happiness. She has been working hard for decades now, and she will have a good life after retirement.

Shen Wei looked up and instructed, "Cai Ping, go to the small kitchen and see if the date cake prepared for Princess Zhaoyang is ready. Open the wine cellar this afternoon and take out a jar of last year's fruit wine."

Caiping hurried to the kitchen to check the situation.

The Princess's Mansion sent an invitation, Princess Zhaoyang will come to the palace to visit her young niece in the afternoon. Shen Wei had to prepare in advance to receive this noble princess.

...

In the afternoon, Princess Zhaoyang arrived with lots of gifts. Zhaoyang liked Shen Wei's daughter very much and specially prepared many toys and beautiful clothes for her.

The gifts given by Princess Zhaoyang were of extraordinary value. A lock made of white jade, a cloth tiger sewn by an embroiderer in the palace, a rattle inlaid with gold, a lion head inlaid with gemstones, a Luban lock made of golden nanmu, and a nine-linked ring made of gold...

The dazzling array of items made Shen Wei unable to suppress the smile on her face.

"She is so well behaved, she smiles when she sees me." Zhaoyang lay beside the cradle and amused the child in the cradle with a gold-inlaid rattle.

Little Leyou opened his chubby little hands and made a giggling sound, which was very cute.

Zhaoyang teased his niece for a while, then took Shen Wei to the waterside pavilion to chat. Zhaoyang took a bite of the sweet date cake and sighed with satisfaction: "In the whole Yanjing City, except for Weiyanji, only the date cakes made in your small kitchen are the most delicious!"

Shen Wei gently waved her Luo fan: "I asked the maid to pack a food box with date cakes. Princess, please take it with you when you leave."

Zhaoyang was in a good mood.

She likes to be with Shen Wei very much, and she can always relax herself completely. After eating the date cake, Zhaoyang said excitedly: "I heard that the princess sister-in-law is seriously ill and bedridden. Even the imperial physician is helpless. I wanted to visit Kunyuyuan just now, but was stopped."

Zhaoyang was quite puzzled.

The princess's sister-in-law had always been in good health, so how could she suddenly become seriously ill? Moreover, the imperial physician said that the princess's illness required long-term rest and she should not work too hard or get tired.

Zhaoyang picked up another piece of small date cake and said, "Weiwei, you are now the housekeeper for the princess and sister-in-law. If you encounter something you don't understand, just come to me for help. This princess is in charge of the princess's mansion, and I have several capable maids under me, all of whom are good housekeepers."

Shen Wei said: "Thank you, Princess. There are many experienced maids in the palace. With their help, I am not too tired."

Zhaoyang held his chin and stared at Shen Wei eagerly.

Shen Wei felt embarrassed by being stared at, so she smiled and said, "Is there something on my face? The princess has been staring at me."

Zhaoyang shook his head.

Zhaoyang looked at the lush greenery in the yard. The wind blew the elegant fragrance of flowers to the pavilions and waterside pavilions. Zhaoyang's tone was full of envy: "This princess thinks you are amazing... Your second brother dotes on you, your mother values ​​you, the servants respect you, your daughter is also lovable, and even the flowers in the yard are blooming the most beautifully. You are amazing, it seems that no difficulty can stop you, and I have never seen you distressed."

In Shen Wei, Zhaoyang saw a kind of vigorous vitality, enthusiasm, and initiative.

When you get close to Shen Wei, you seem to be infected by this fresh vitality.

Shen Wei waved her Luo Fan and smiled: "It's a day of suffering, it's a day of happiness, we have to live our lives anyway, so we might as well live happily."

Zhaoyang thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true.

The maid brought the sweet fruit wine. Last autumn, Shen Wei and King Yan picked the fruits in the yard, soaked them in low-proof wine, and stored them in the cellar for a winter and spring. When the cellar was opened in summer, the fruit wine had fermented and became very mellow.

The fruit wine tasted really good, Zhaoyang drank a lot, and even asked Shen Wei to drink with him. Zhaoyang was not very good at drinking, and soon she was drunk. She pulled Shen Wei's sleeve and said, "By the way, in early winter, it is the birthday of the old lady of Zhennan Marquis Mansion. Let's go together... I heard that Shangguan Xuan is coming back, and the landmines designed by his military advisor are very powerful... Boom, the people of Yue were scared away..."

Shen Wei felt dizzy, but when she heard the word "land mine", the alcohol addiction in her mind instantly disappeared.

My mind is clear.

Shen Wei put down her wine glass and approached Zhao Yang: "Land mine? Is it the kind of weapon that will blow people away if they step on it?"

Zhaoyang's cheeks flushed, and he nodded drunkenly: "It seems so... I overheard father talking about it. That military advisor Zhao is really powerful, the court is planning to reward him, and I guess Chudong will also return to the capital with Shangguan Xuan... Hehe, Madam Sun finally got her husband back."

"That bastard Yan Yunting also wants to come back to see me. Pah, I feel sick just by looking at him. He'd better not come back for the rest of his life."

Shen Wei's face turned pale and her head was buzzing.

A military advisor, a military advisor who makes mines!

Perhaps, Military Advisor Zhao and I are from the same era, and also came to this world by accident?
