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

Prince Heng curled his lips, and his voice was like waves blowing over the beach, ringing in Shangguan Xuan's ears: "It's cold, Miss Shangguan needs to put on more clothes to keep warm."

Shangguan Qian's pretty face flushed with shyness.

Prince Heng gave the cloak to Shangguan Qian, turned around and left with a charming smile on his lips.

Shangguan Qian's heart was beating fast. Wearing the cloak of His Royal Highness Prince Heng, her whole world seemed to be warmed. She stared blankly at the tall figure of Prince Heng leaving, her heart falling uncontrollably.

Giving her a cape in winter, His Royal Highness Prince Heng will definitely like her!

Shangguan Qian thought complacently. The position of Princess Heng seemed to be within her grasp.

...

...

Afternoon, Liuli Pavilion.

The plum blossoms in the yard were in full bloom, and their delicate fragrance spread into the warm room. Little Leyou crawled around on the thick wool blanket, chasing the rabbit lantern everywhere, and occasionally making giggling sounds.

Shen Wei was flipping through the account books at the desk, thinking about the management strategy of the land in Yanjing. In the cold winter, the cultivated fields in Nanshan needed to be "nourish the land" by sprinkling wood ash on the land to keep the soil fertile in the next spring.

Under the management of sister Shen Qiang, there were almost no problems with the farmland and fruit trees in Nanshan.

Thinking of Shen Qiang, Shen Wei thought of her ex-husband Liu Boyuan, a businessman. That man had said that he wanted to stay in Yanjing to look for Shen Qiang, but several months had passed and he was nowhere to be found.

He has probably already left Yanjing, so Shen Wei doesn't have to deal with him.

"Master." Caiping ran in.

Shen Wei put down the account book: "What's the matter?"

Cai Ping was full of gossip: "Master, this morning, the Marquis of Zhennan and his wife came to the palace to express their gratitude. It is said that His Majesty praised the intelligence of the Princess of Pingyang County and rewarded her with four maids and a hundred taels of gold!"

"After Princess Pingyang returned to the Marquis' Mansion, she sold her maid Cui'er. I went to the broker and bought Cui'er's indenture. Cui'er is good at dressing people up, so I sent her to Qixiangzhai to work, which is considered a way to make a living."

Shen Wei nodded and praised: "Well done."

The emperor rewarded Zhao Qing with four personal maids, which was not a good thing. The emperor was planting spies in the Zhen'an Marquis's mansion to monitor Zhao Qing's every move.

Zhao Qing is very famous for her ability to draw exquisite weapon blueprints, and there are many forces that covet her abilities.

In order to protect Zhao Qing and prevent her from having other intentions, the emperor would never let her leave Yanjing. Zhao Qing would be trapped in the Marquis' Mansion for the rest of her life until her value was completely squeezed out.

Once the emperor finds out that Zhao Qing is an empty-headed and worthless person, the short-lived prosperity of the Zhennan Marquisate will be over.

...

Time passes quietly, winter passes, and spring comes slowly.

Shen Wei's belly was getting bigger day by day. She was pregnant with twins, so her belly looked particularly big. Sometimes when Shen Wei was bathing at night, she would look down at her bulging thin belly and almost cry.

Ugly belly...

Childbirth turns a beautiful girl into a person full of scars.

What made Shen Wei even more anxious was that the imperial physician and the midwife came to check the fetal position and both said that the baby's position was not correct. The future childbirth process might be very difficult and might even cause the baby's death or damage to the mother.

Shen Wei was anxious. If she had known earlier, she should have drunk more contraceptive soup and waited until her body recovered before getting pregnant.

It's too late to regret now.

Shen Wei tried to stay calm and thought about the worst possible outcome. In ancient times, fertility conditions were backward, and the worst possible outcome would probably be the death of both mother and child. She had to find a way to avoid the worst possible outcome and do her best and leave the rest to fate.

The baby's fetal position was abnormal, so Shen Wei spent some time every day doing "fetal rotation" exercises to try to correct the fetal position. After working tirelessly for a week or two, the baby's fetal position was barely normal.

In order to prevent postpartum hemorrhage, Shen Wei asked the maid to prepare a lot of hemostatic herbs and materials. In the future, she plans to give birth while standing, which will make childbirth smoother.

It was May, the due date was approaching. The fifth day of May was the Queen's birthday. Shen Wei was pregnant and could not enter the palace, so the Prince of Yan planned to bring Li Yao to the palace to celebrate the Queen's birthday and attend the evening banquet.

At dusk, before leaving, the King of Yan held Shen Wei's hand and comforted her gently: "The four doctors sent by the Queen Mother are already staying in the side yard. Don't worry, I will be back early tonight."

The due date was approaching, and King Yan could clearly sense Shen Wei's anxiety. Shen Wei had nightmares at night these past few days, and her appetite had also decreased.

Under the eaves, Shen Wei held Prince Yan's hand and said sullenly, "Prince, if I die giving birth, please give the child in my belly and Le You to the Queen to raise."

"Don't talk nonsense." Prince Yan's heart suddenly ached, and he felt inexplicably panicked and out of control.

He didn't like Shen Wei saying these things.

As they spend every day together, Prince Yan can no longer conceal his love for Shen Wei, and he has become accustomed to Shen Wei's company.

He never thought about, nor did he want to think about the day when he lost Shen Wei.

Shen Wei lowered her head, feeling depressed.

King Yan said softly, "Go back to your room and rest first. I will be back soon to accompany you and the child."

Recently, the political situation has become more complicated, and the capital of Qing Kingdom is surging with undercurrents. Prince Heng is trying to win over the Zhennan Marquis Mansion and is eyeing it covetously, wanting to stir up trouble again. Prince Yan is so busy that he is hanging his head and feet, but he still tries to take time to accompany Shen Wei who is about to give birth.

It’s like the last piece of pure land amidst the storm.

Prince Yan was uneasy and took Li Yao into the palace.

Shen Wei turned around, cold sweat trickling down her forehead. She held onto Rong Mama's hand and managed to stand steady: "Bring the medicine here."

Rong Mama frowned and whispered: "Master, you will hurt your body if you do this..."

Shen Wei shook her head, her pupils glowing with a determined cold light: "After all, the birth will happen in the next few days. It is better to have the child born at the right time rather than later."
