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

Madam Tan Tai closed her eyes and said disappointedly, "You are the child I carried for ten months, so I will naturally protect you... But you are really immoral and incompetent. Listen to your mother's advice, stay in the palace and don't cause trouble."

Madam Tan Tai has been in charge of the family for many years and has a long-term vision. Now the King of Yan and the King of Heng are constantly fighting, and the King of Yan is gradually gaining the upper hand.

Perhaps in the future, Prince Yan will be able to ascend the throne and become emperor.

As long as the princess behaves herself and does not cause any more trouble, her future position as queen will be secure. If the princess persists and repeatedly causes trouble, her position as queen may be lost.

The Queen sent someone to convey her decree to Madam Tan Tai, and the implication of her words was the same - as long as the princess behaved herself, the position of Queen would not change.

The princess froze in shock.

It’s hard to believe that her biological mother chose to turn a blind eye!

"Mother! Don't you love your daughter anymore? You watched her being stepped on by that peasant girl!" The princess cried out.

Madam Tan Tai scolded: "Be obedient and don't cause any more trouble. Your good fortune is still to come."

In the future, if the princess becomes the queen, even if she is an unloved queen, it will be a great honor for the Tantai family. The men in the family can also rely on the queen as a big tree and get more important positions in the court.

The princess obviously couldn't listen and felt betrayed by her mother: "The Shen family is against me everywhere, how can I have any luck! Mother, who has deceived you?"

Madam Tan Tai rubbed her brows and said, "Come here, send the princess back. Send the jade Buddha back as well."

Around the lotus throne of the jade Bodhisattva, there was a circle of tiny baby totems engraved. This was not the Willow Guanyin who bestowed blessings, but the Guanyin who gave birth to a child.

Old Madam Tan Tai is sixty years old and has been a widow for many years. Her youngest daughter gave her a statue of "Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth". If this were to get out, it would make people laugh out loud.

This shows that the princess did not pay much attention to choosing gifts.

"Mother, you...you...I think you are confused!" The princess felt aggrieved, tears falling down her face, and she walked away angrily.

Just as Madam Liu was about to catch up, Madam Tan Tai coldly warned her, "Madam Liu, keep an eye on her and don't let her cause any more trouble!"

Madam Liu lowered her head and said, "I understand."

The princess left in anger, and the inner hall was empty. The eldest daughter, Tan Tai Shuqin, came out from the dark, gently massaged the old lady Tan Tai, and comforted her softly, "Mother, don't blame my younger sister."

Madam Tan Tai sighed: "It's my fault. I spoiled her too much back then."

The princess had a very smooth life. She was doted on by her family at a young age, married a noble prince, and had children by her side. Her life was too smooth and easy, which made her feel helpless and lost when she faced setbacks.

...

...

The princess was filled with anger and returned to the palace in a rage. She really couldn't have imagined that she would be frustrated by her mother today.

Even her closest relatives were unwilling to help her and watched her suffer in the palace.

The rage in her heart was so intense that it was almost impossible to extinguish. As soon as the princess entered the palace gate, she looked up and saw Shen Wei, whom she hated.

Shen Wei's face became more and more charming, as beautiful as a peony blooming in the garden. She was at the gate of the courtyard, talking to the steward of the palace, who looked very respectful.

The princess got angry when she saw Shen Wei's face. She had made a mistake in the past and actually brought this ambitious woman into the palace, which led to her current miserable situation.

"What are you planning to do?" The princess looked unhappy.

Shen Wei turned around when she heard the voice and said, "It's Madam Tan Tai's birthday. The prince is busy with official duties and can't spare time, so he asked me to deliver the jade ruyi to the old lady."

Shen Wei was not feeling well and could not go to the Tan Tai family in person, so she asked the steward in the mansion to bring birthday gifts and send them in the name of the prince.

The steward held the box containing the jade ruyi carefully, not daring to get involved in the fight between the two masters, and left quickly with his head down.

Shen Wei glanced at the princess, pressed her handkerchief to her temple, and said casually: "Since the princess has returned home, you are still sick, you should go back to Kunyu Courtyard to recuperate."

To the outside world, they all announced that the princess was seriously ill, so Shen Wei could take charge of the household. If the princess was alive and well and flaunted everywhere, it would be bad for the reputation of the palace.

The princess's eyes were like knives: "When you saw me before, I was like a timid quail, very cautious. Now you are so popular, you even care about my affairs!"

Shen Wei had no time to get entangled with her.

Verbal arrogance is useless. The current princess has been sidelined, and the huge palace is under the control of Shen Wei.

Shen Wei looked at Aunt Liu behind the princess and lightly blamed her: "Aunt Liu, the princess is sick and confused, are you also sick and confused? The weather is hot, take the princess back to the courtyard."

Madam Liu was a smart woman. She knew that Shen Wei was now in charge of the palace. Shen Wei was in charge of distributing the monthly wages to all the servants in the palace.

No matter who you offend, you must not offend the person who manages the money.

Nanny Liu had just been scolded by Madam Tan Tai, so she stepped forward and grabbed the princess' sleeve, patiently persuading her: "Princess, the weather is hot, and you are not feeling well. You should go back to the courtyard--"

Before she finished speaking, the princess angrily shook off Liu Ma's hand and said, "Even you betrayed me?"

Nanny Liu was old, and when the princess threw her around she stumbled and fell to the ground, causing severe pain in her old bones.

Seeing this, Cai Lian, who was beside Shen Wei, hurried forward to help up Liu Ma, who had a painful look on her face.

The princess was furious. She took two steps forward, her sharp eyes met with Shen Wei's, and she said word by word: "Shen, I am the wife of the prince, and no matter how proud you are, you are just a concubine."

Shen Wei said calmly: "Send the princess back to the courtyard."

The maid immediately stepped forward and wanted to take the princess back to Kunyu Courtyard. The princess was greatly stimulated and raised her hand to slap Shen Wei hard.

Shen Wei could have dodged it, but she changed her mind and didn't dodge.

Snapped--

A slap landed on Shen Wei's right cheek.

Shen Wei was beaten so hard that her head felt dizzy and her vision went black. She leaned on Cai Ping and fainted.

Cai Ping screamed in fear and supported the fainted Shen Wei: "Quick, quick, someone come! The master has fainted! Call the palace doctor!"

The princess' eyelids twitched, and she said unhappily, "Why are you pretending? Can you hide this little trick from me?"

The princess had seen many forms of inner-house struggle, and many concubines pretended to be sick or fainted in order to gain the favor of the Prince of Yan.

The maids brought the unconscious Shen Wei back to Liuli Pavilion.

The princess was too lazy to ask and slowly returned to Kunyu Courtyard. She had no power as a housekeeper, and could not visit her two sons all the time. She could only burn incense and worship Buddha to pass the boring days.

The air is filled with the smoke of incense, a compassionate Buddha statue sits high up, and the strong aroma of incense permeates the air.

The princess was burning incense in the shrine when Nanny Liu walked into the room and said, "The prince is back. When he learned that Shen had fainted, he went to the Glazed Pavilion immediately."

The princess said nonchalantly, "Shen can only complain to the prince that I beat her. What's there to be afraid of? The mistress has the right to teach a concubine a lesson."

Madam Liu pursed her lips and reminded softly, "Princess, Shen is pregnant again."
