Don't be a salted fish, the daily life of the concubine in the palace
Chapter 16: Targeted by King Heng
Shen Wei laughed secretly.
Shen Wei has been working in the workplace for many years, so she can see through the disguise of the little demon. This Tan Tairou looks weak and timid, but she is really full of tricks.
"Princess Zhaoyang has arrived." The eunuch at the door announced.
The guests at the spring banquet stood up and saluted. Shen Wei looked up and saw a group of palace maids dressed in ostentatious clothes leading the way. A beautiful girl in a golden brocade dress walked in from the gate.
This person is none other than the fourth princess of the dynasty, Li Ruoling, whose title is Zhaoyang.
Zhaoyang's big black eyes turned around and quickly locked onto Tan Tairou who was next to Shen Wei.
Zhaoyang snorted coldly, strode over and sat down in the empty seat next to Tan Tairou.
She stared at Tan Tairou with her beautiful eyes and threatened gloomily: "This princess is watching you here, don't try to seduce Yan Yunting, he is my consort!"
Tan Tairou's pretty face was pale, the corners of her pink lips trembled, and she looked timidly at Yan Yunting not far away, then lowered her head fearfully to explain: "Your Highness, you misunderstood...I did not seduce Brother Yunting."
Zhao Yang looked at her delicate appearance and frowned in disgust: "Stop playing pitiful here!"
Tan Tairou's tears fell, and she looked particularly fragile.
Yan Yunting couldn't bear to watch this anymore, so he quickly came over and said in a cold voice, "Princess Zhaoyang, you are of noble status, you should sit in the seat of honor."
Zhaoyang glared at Yan Yunting angrily, then looked around, took Shen Wei's arm, and raised her chin proudly: "This princess and this sister are good friends. I want to sit here and chat with her. What's your business? Even my father can't control me. If you are willing to be my princess's consort, you can control me."
Shen Wei, who is eating melons: ...
When you are at home, your best friend will come to you.
Yan Yunting was very dissatisfied with Zhaoyang's rudeness, but he could do nothing about it.
Tan Tairou smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Yunting, it was me who made the princess angry, you don't have to worry about me."
How could Yan Yunting ignore her? He bowed to Zhaoyang and said politely: "The princess is of noble status, but relying on her status to bully the weak will be criticized. I hope the princess will respect herself."
Zhaoyang's pretty face flushed, obviously she was angry.
Yan Yunting returned to his seat, but his attention was still on Tan Tairou. He knew that Tan Tairou was of humble origin and very timid, and was always bullied by Zhaoyang.
He had to protect her.
Zhaoyang sat down next to Shen Wei. The palace maids hurriedly spread expensive woolen carpets on the table, replaced the bowls, chopsticks and cups with expensive jade utensils used exclusively by the princess, and placed incense in the small golden stove.
"Whose daughter are you from? I've never seen you before." Zhaoyang held his chin with his hand in boredom, his eyes falling on Shen Wei.
Shen Wei replied: "I am Shen Wei, the prince's new concubine."
Zhao Yang blinked her beautiful big eyes: "Wow, I thought my second brother's women were all dull, but I didn't expect you to dress up so beautifully. My second brother must love you very much, right?"
Zhaoyang did not look down on Shen Wei's identity. Instead, he was amazed by her beauty.
Shen Wei smiled faintly: "The prince treats me very well."
Zhao Yang came over and reminded in a low voice: "My second brother is heartless and falls in love with every woman he meets. You have to give birth to a child as soon as possible to keep your wealth."
Zhaoyang knows his three brothers.
The elder brother Crown Prince is devoted and only loves the Crown Princess, and rarely touches the women in the Eastern Palace.
The second brother, Prince Yan, is heartless but not romantic. He only favors one woman for a period of time, and then switches to the next one after losing interest after a while.
The three Heng princes are the most promiscuous. They sleep with one today and that tomorrow. Sometimes they sleep with five or six people in one night, regardless of gender.
"Thank you for the reminder, Princess." Shen Wei thanked politely.
Zhaoyang felt sad when he saw Shen Wei's polite, distant, and rigid manner.
Second brother dislikes "rigid and dull" women the most. Shen Wei is too well-behaved and polite. I'm afraid second brother will soon get tired of her.
Hey.
Shen Wei observed Zhaoyang's words and expressions and naturally guessed what he was thinking. Shen Wei drank tea silently, thinking to herself, I am not a rigid woman who follows the rules.
Today is the Spring Banquet. As a concubine, Shen Wei naturally has to behave herself and not lose her manners, otherwise it would be a disgrace to King Yan.
In private, Shen Wei is not a woman who follows the rules. She and Prince Yan play all kinds of tricks, and the bed in Fangfei Garden collapses several times.
Zhaoyang looked around and saw King Heng sitting under the main throne. Zhaoyang was surprised and said, "The material of the clothes on the third brother seems to be floating brocade. Wow, he spent a lot of money to embarrass the second brother!"
In previous years, at the spring banquet at Prince Yan's Mansion, Prince Heng would always dress up in luxury.
The Prince of Yan was not the kind of man who paid much attention to his appearance. In his heart, official duties were more important than clothes. The clothes that the Prince of Yan wore were all from the Shangyiju in the palace. Although they were exquisite and gorgeous, they were indeed not as good as the fine clothes that the Prince of Heng had carefully selected.
Zhao Yang sighed: "Today, the limelight of the second brother is going to be snatched away by the third brother again."
As soon as he finished speaking, the eunuch outside the door announced: "The prince has arrived!"
The prince was the future heir to the throne, so his status was naturally extremely noble, and everyone stood up to greet him. The guests of lower status didn't even dare to raise their heads.
Shen Wei pricked up her ears and heard the rustling of footsteps. After a while, she heard a gentle and soothing voice from the host: "Everyone, stand up."
Everyone took their seats.
Shen Wei sat back in her original position, and then she dared to look up at the main seat of the Spring Banquet. The main seat was decorated with flowers, and on the two most honorable seats, her husband, the King of Yan, sat on the left, and the Crown Prince, who was dressed in casual clothes, sat on the right.
The ancients respected the right.
The prince on the right was thin, with prominent cheekbones. Although he looked majestic, he did not look very well. Shen Wei secretly thought that the prince must be ill.
Shen Wei silently prayed for the prince, hoping that he would ascend the throne stably and live a long life. Only if the prince was safe, the King of Yan would have a stable backing and Shen Wei would have a stable future.
After looking at the prince, Shen Wei looked at the Prince of Yan next to him.
The Prince of Yan was born with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and was extraordinarily handsome. Today, he wore an open-fronted long robe made of floating luster brocade, with a cross-collared top, a light-colored silk jade belt, and a silver crown on his head.
As the saying goes, a man depends on his clothes and a horse depends on his saddle.
The Prince of Yan usually likes to wear old-fashioned dark and black colors, but today he wore a silver brocade robe.
One word, absolutely!
Shen Wei was very satisfied.
The gold, silver and jewels she wears are gifts from the King of Yan; the clothes the King of Yan wears are made by her. We both wear each other's gifts and dress each other up, and neither of us loses out!
When Shen Wei was peeking at King Yan, King Yan was also looking at Shen Wei. Seeing the golden hairpin on Shen Wei's head, King Yan was very satisfied.
As expected, she is his Vivi, beautiful and charming.
Prince Heng always mocked his concubines for being plain. Today, Shen Wei attended the event in a gorgeous dress, and Prince Heng could no longer utter any insults.
"Wow, second brother looks so handsome today, even better than third brother." Zhaoyang stared at King Yan in surprise.
Not only Zhaoyang, but the other guests also had their own thoughts. Only the handsome face of King Heng, who was sitting under the main seat, was gloomy.
The clothes that Prince Heng wore today were also made of Fuguangjin, and the style of the clothes was similar to the one Prince Yan was wearing.
As the saying goes, it’s not scary to wear the same clothes as others, but it’s embarrassing for the ugly one.
The Prince of Yan rode horses and practiced archery all year round, and had a strong body. The clothes he wore made him look noble and imposing, yet also had the aura of a superior.
Prince Heng was of thin stature, and looked a little stingy in this embroidered brocade dress.
Moreover, after this comparison, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the floating luster brocade worn by Prince Yan was of better quality, reflecting a gentle silver light under the sunlight, while the floating luster brocade worn by Prince Heng was slightly duller.
The prince smiled and broke the awkward deadlock: "It's a good time, the Spring Banquet will begin."
As soon as the words fell, the beautifully dressed maids came in with wine and food. The singing and dancing troupe took their places and beautiful songs began to sound.
The spring banquet is full of joy, singing and dancing.
It was Shen Wei's first time to attend such a luxurious banquet in ancient times, and she was filled with curiosity. She sipped from her wine glass and enjoyed the singing and dancing on the center stage. These beautiful girls were dancing the traditional "Taegae", which had a brisk and lively rhythm.
The most eye-catching one is the masked singer playing the pipa in the middle.
The masked singer wore a light green long skirt with wide sleeves, holding a jade pipa in her arms. She plucked the strings of the pipa with her slender jade fingers and sang an ancient and beautiful song:
"You are like a cloud in the sky, and I am like a bird in the cloud..."
"Together, together, in the sun and in the wind..."
Shen Wei was mesmerized by the voice. If this natural voice were to be put on "Singer" in modern times, it would definitely win the championship.
The singing and dancing ended and the dancers left.
Prince Heng seemed to be half drunk. He held the white jade wine glass and began to find fault: "Brother Crown Prince, second brother, it is so boring to appreciate singing and dancing. Second brother, your new concubine Shen looks good at singing and dancing, and is well-read. How about letting her go on stage and dance?"
