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

Both the King of Yan and the King of Heng wanted to recruit Shen Mieyue into their ranks.

But Shen Mieyue's mind was all about marching and fighting, he was only loyal to the current emperor, and he was determined not to participate in the struggle between the princes. He didn't care about money, beauty, power and wealth.

Shen Wei nodded, not quite understanding: "I understand."

Shen Wei subconsciously thought that the King of Yan wanted to win over Shen Mieyue to work for the Crown Prince. When the Crown Prince ascends the throne in the future, he must have military power in his hands to consolidate his position as the monarch.

It was already dark, and as usual, Shen Wei and King Yan slept on the same bed.

Winter is coming, and snow is flying all over the night. When Shen Wei wakes up at dawn, the yard is covered with a thin layer of white snow.

The Prince of Yan got up early and went to the baby room to listen to Le You calling "Call the Prince" several times before he went to court contentedly.

Shen Wei got up a little later and had breakfast in the warm room. The Prince of Yan basically did not return to the palace during the day. After the morning court, he often went to the East Palace to help the Crown Prince handle government affairs.

Cai Ping served Shen Wei a bowl of hot soup: "Master, don't worry. I heard that the Crown Prince's illness has improved a lot and he can even attend court. When the Crown Prince recovers, Your Majesty will not be so busy anymore."

Shen Wei: "Is the prince recovering from his illness?"

Cai Ping nodded: "Yes, that's what people say. Most of the doctors stationed in the East Palace have returned to the palace, which shows that the prince's condition has improved."

Shen Wei didn't know much about the Crown Prince. She only knew that he had been ill and last year he invited the most famous doctor in the world to treat him.

With the miraculous healing skills of Dr. Mo and the meticulous care of the imperial physicians in the palace, the prince's chronic illness should have been cured.

Shen Wei was secretly happy. The prince and the King of Yan had a deep brotherly love, and it was a good thing that the prince recovered from his illness. If the prince ascended the throne smoothly in the future, the King of Yan would definitely be given important positions.

The position of the King of Yan was stable, and she, as a concubine, also had a bright and prosperous future. Life was going according to her plan, and Shen Wei was in a good mood, drinking another bowl of nutritious bone soup.

...

...

Time flies, and the wedding day of Zhennan Marquis and Pingyang County Lady arrives. The Prince of Yan is busy with government affairs, and the Princess is "seriously ill", so Shen Wei has to go to the Zhennan Marquis' mansion for the banquet.

The status of a prince's concubine is not low. Her name is in the royal book of the imperial family, so she can be considered the daughter-in-law of the royal family.

In order to avoid gossip, Shen Wei specially brought Li Yao, the eldest daughter of Prince Yan's Mansion, along.

The news that Shen Wei took Li Yao to the banquet spread to the princess's Kunyuyuan Buddhist temple.

The princess lit three incense sticks and reverently placed them in the shrine. The princess said coldly: "At the wedding banquet of the Marquis's Mansion, Shen, a peasant girl of humble origin, actually replaced me to attend the banquet. Do you think I am dead?"

Nanny Liu was beside her and said calmly, "Princess, you are sick now. It's cold outside, so it's really not suitable for you to walk around."

The princess sneered.

She is not sick, the so-called "serious illness" is just an excuse to suppress her.

The princess sighed, stared at the statue of the Bodhisattva, slowly raised the corners of her lips, and revealed a sick smile: "Let the Shen family be proud for a few days."

The days are long and the future is uncertain.

The princess is no longer alone, she has helpers. When the time is right, she will find a way to send Shen Wei and all the evil people who stand in her way to hell.

...

It had just snowed, and the red silk and white snow of Zhennan Marquis Mansion complemented each other. Guests arrived one after another, and the scene was very lively.

Shen Wei sat at the table with the ladies of honor, and her manners were graceful and elegant, and no one could find fault with her. She was favored by the King of Yan, and looked after by the Queen and Princess Zhaoyang, so the other ladies of honor did not dare to show any mockery, and many of them came forward to curry favor with her.

Shen Wei chatted with them with ease.

She was pregnant and it was not convenient for her to move around, so she sat almost all the time. The guests went to the door to watch the excitement, waiting for Shangguan Xuan to bring Princess Pingyang back.

Although Zhao Qing was given the title of county lady, for some reason, the emperor did not grant her a house. Shangguan Xuan rented a large courtyard in Yanjing and asked Zhao Qing to dress up there, as a place to meet her bride.

"Sister Caiping!" A little maid ran over hurriedly, her face full of anxiety.

Shen Wei recognized that it was the maidservant beside Zhao Qing. Without Shen Wei's reminder, Cai Ping had already taken the initiative to pull the maid aside.

The maid anxiously said, "Sister Caiping, you have to help me! That day, a South Sea pearl fell to the ground, and one of the pearls had a flaw on its surface that I couldn't remove no matter what I did."

Cai Ping comforted her: "Don't worry, take me to see it."

Zhao Qing is getting married today and is still waiting in the yard outside the mansion to get married. She has not returned yet.

The maid took Cai Ping back to Luofang Courtyard. She opened her makeup box and took out a pearl. "Ten pearls were used for the bride's phoenix crown, and there are two left. One of these two pearls had a black stain this morning, and I couldn't wipe it off no matter what I did."

If Zhao Qing came back and found black spots suddenly appeared on Pearl, he would definitely scold the maid.

The maid was very worried and could only come to Caiping for help.

Cai Ping pretended to examine the pearl and said with a smile, "It's just a little stain. Rub it with salt and it will go away. My dear sister, go get some coarse salt."

The maid didn't suspect anything and immediately ran to the kitchen to ask for coarse salt. Cai Ping took the opportunity to sneak to the corner, took out the parchment book, and quickly stuffed the fake parchment book in.

Just as Cai Ping was about to prepare the kerosene to create the illusion that Zhao Qing's house had "accidentally caught fire", a crisp call came from outside the yard: "Cui Er, I heard that there are South China Sea pearls in my sister-in-law's makeup box. Take them out and show them to me."

Caiping was startled. She hid the parchment book in her arms, climbed out of the window next to her, and hid outside the window to watch what happened.

There were footsteps at the door, and Shangguan Qian, who was dressed up in fancy clothes, walked in. The maid who went to the kitchen to get salt also hurried back after hearing the noise.

Shangguan Qian walked straight into the house.

After scanning the area, Shangguan Qian saw two round South Sea pearls on the dressing table. Her eyes lit up. They were indeed great treasures. She had never seen such beautiful pearls before.

If it is made into a pearl hairpin, it will definitely be dazzling.

The maid hurried back and tried to persuade her: "You can't touch the county lady's things."

Shangguan Qian said unhappily: "Zhao Qing is my sister-in-law. She won't blame me if I take two pearls from her."

When Sun Qingmei was in the Marquis' Mansion, Shangguan Qian often took her jewelry for herself, and Sun Qingmei never complained.

We are all family, so taking two pearls is nothing.

The maid's eyes turned red with anxiety, but she still said stubbornly, "The county lady told me to keep an eye on the house and not let anyone touch anything in it."

Shangguan Qian ignored him, grabbed the two pearls and left. Her hand was not steady, and a round pearl fell from between her fingers, rolling along the floor to the edge of the wall.

"Oh, it's all your fault, you little bitch. You made me fail to pick up the pearls properly!" Shangguan Xuanqian was very upset and hurried forward to pick up the pearls on the ground.

The pearl fell into the corner of the wall, and Shangguan Qian's hand accidentally touched a brick while picking it up.

The brick was unstable and fell to the ground with a thud, raising a little dust and staining the corner of Shangguan Qian's expensive silk dress.

pat-

The parchment book hidden inside also fell down.

Shangguan Qian picked up the pearl and glanced at the floor unhappily: "What a dirty book! It has stained my skirt."

Shangguan Qian bent down and picked up the parchment book.
