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

The Zhennan Marquisate has already surrendered to King Heng, who values ​​Zhao Qing's outstanding weapons manufacturing ability. Recently, King Heng has repeatedly urged Zhao Qing to develop a large-scale lethal weapon.

Zhao Qing pretended to be calm and picked up a piece of cake on the table: "I'm in a bad mood and don't want to draw."

Without the Taihua Notes, Zhao Qing couldn't think of any ideas for making weapons. She had a vague feeling that her good days might be over.

She was unable to save herself from defeat, so she simply gave up on herself and tried her best to enjoy her last good days every day.

One more day to live is a day to live.

Shangguan Xuan softened his voice and coaxed, "Ah Qing, please help me. If Prince Heng can succeed, our mansion will surely continue to prosper."

Zhao Qing swallowed the snack and had no intention of helping Shangguan Xuan: "Do you think inspiration is cabbage? I'm not in the mood to design weapon blueprints now."

Shangguan Xuan clenched his fists and looked at the woman in front of him with disappointment. He was really blind to marry this difficult woman.

There was no need to say anything more, he just stormed out in anger.

Zhao Qing didn't even raise his eyelids and continued to eat his snacks leisurely. After a while, Shangguan Qian ran in angrily.

Seeing the expensive silk dress Zhao Qing was wearing and the beautiful white jade hairpin in her hair, Shangguan Qian's eyes turned red with jealousy.

Shangguan Qian said sullenly, "Sister-in-law, I'm going to Prince Heng's mansion to enjoy the flowers tomorrow. Give me some money, I want to buy the new makeup powder from Qixiangzhai."

Zhao Qing: “No.”

Shangguan Qian stamped her feet in anger: "Your Majesty has rewarded you with so much gold, so what if you give me some? Sister-in-law, you are too selfish! Believe it or not, I will let my elder brother divorce you!"

Zhao Qing rolled her eyes: "I wish I could divorce Shangguan Xuan. Do you think you are a princess or queen? Why should I give you money for nothing? What can I get in return? Only beggars in the world ask for money from others."

Shangguan Qian's face flushed red, as if she had been slapped hard in the face. She stammered, "You, you..."

She hated her sister-in-law Zhao Qing more and more. If only Sun Qingmei was still in the Marquis' Mansion, she would definitely not say such bad things to her.

Zhao Qing was annoyed when he saw Shangguan Xuan, and said in a bad tone: "Useless trash. If you were not born in the Marquis' Mansion, you would have been sold long ago."

Shangguan Qian left with tears in her eyes as she was ashamed and angry.

Zhao Qing's good mood faded after her lunch break was interrupted repeatedly. She didn't want to stay in the den of wolves in the Marquis' Mansion any more. After thinking for a while, Zhao Qing ordered the four maids: "Pack up, I'm going to stay at the farm for two days. Take all my money with me, so that it won't be stolen by those ungrateful wolves."

These foxes in the Marquis' Mansion are all eyeing Zhao Qing's purse.

The luggage was quickly packed and the carriage left the mansion through the back door.

In the carriage, Zhao Qing counted the little gold left in his bag. When the carriage reached the corner, the horse suddenly neighed sharply.

"Madam Hou, Prince Heng invites you." The guard's cold voice came from outside.

Zhao Qing paused for a moment as he grasped the gold in his hand. Then he let out a bitter smile that showed helplessness and relief.

Stolen wealth will have to be returned sooner or later. All the gifts bestowed by fate have already been secretly marked with chips.

...

...

Prince Yan's Mansion, Kunyu Courtyard.

The princess has been in a very bad mood these days. She never expected that Shen Wei would be so lucky. She gave birth to a daughter as her first child and two sons as her second child!

bang-

The vase in front of the shrine was smashed to the ground, and the broken pieces of porcelain cut the princess's hand. The maids came in with their heads down and skillfully swept away the broken pieces of the vase.

"I gave birth to two sons...two sons." The princess slumped on the ground. The light in the Buddhist hall was dim. She looked at the white jade statue of Bodhisattva with disappointment, tears falling down her face.

Shen Wei had been in the palace for less than three years, and she had won the favor of the King of Yan, and had safely given birth to a daughter and two sons. With three children by her side, Shen Wei's position in the palace was unshakable.

Even if the Prince of Yan has his mind changed in the future, he can directly promote Shen Wei to be his principal wife. When Shen Wei's son grows up, he will replace the princess' son and inherit the Prince of Yan's mansion.

"Princess, don't be sad." Nanny Liu walked into the room, her eyes filled with pity and helplessness.

Madam Liu helped the princess up, handed her a cup of warm tea, and comforted her, "You are the legitimate daughter of the Tan Tai family, and no one can shake your position. Madam Tan Tai also sent a message to me, and asked me to pass it on to you."

The princess looked up: "What do you want to convey?"

Aunt Liu: "【Wait patiently】."

The princess smiled, tears of disappointment falling from her eyes: "Wait? Mother really loves me. I was suppressed by that Shen family and couldn't raise my head. I was trapped in this yard for a whole year! She still wants me to wait? Wait for what? Wait for my body to be carried out of the palace? Wait for the son of that bitch Shen Wei to inherit the throne?"

Madam Liu said patiently, "The old lady has a broad vision. She must have her considerations when she said that."

The princess shook her head in disappointment.

She couldn't wait any longer. If she waited any longer, Shen Wei's two sons would grow up slowly.

It’s no use relying on your parents and family, you can only rely on yourself to solve the problem.

...

...

Ever since giving birth to two sons, Shen Wei has been feeling uncomfortable everywhere.

In the days after giving birth, Shen Wei had backaches and stomachaches, cold sweats in the hot weather, and vomiting for no apparent reason in the middle of the night. She was in so much pain that her wounds were numb and she felt like she was going to die.

Even though I took a lot of pain-relieving and qi-replenishing medicine, the effect was not obvious.

After five or six days of pain, the symptoms were slightly relieved. Shen Wei tried to hold the hand of the maid and tried to get out of bed and walk around. But she couldn't walk for too long, because after walking for a while, the wound started to hurt again.

After more than half a month of suffering, Shen Wei's soul finally returned to its place. During Shen Wei's confinement, the two children grew up lively and healthy. The queen sent the imperial physician to check on the children every day, and the experienced wet nurse took good care of the children.

Two months after giving birth.

That night, the weather was unusually hot and humid. After giving birth, Shen Wei's sleep quality became very poor. She was unable to fall asleep in the middle of the night, staring at the plain bed curtains.

Shen Wei tossed and turned in bed, waking up Prince Yan beside her.

The King of Yan saw all the pain Shen Wei had gone through during the past two months of recuperation. He felt sorry for Shen Wei, so he gently held her hand and said, "The imperial physician said that a woman should soak in hot springs after giving birth to warm her uterus, dispel cold, and promote blood circulation. Tomorrow is a day off, and I will take you to a hot spring villa in the suburbs for two days."

Shen Wei thought about it and nodded happily.

She had not been out for the past two months, recuperating in Liuli Pavilion and taking care of her children. Now that her wounds had almost healed, she could indeed go out to soak in the hot springs, recuperate, and breathe the fresh air of the outside world.

When the sun rose, the King of Yan had already prepared the carriage. Cai Lian and Cai Ping packed their luggage and put it neatly on the carriage.

Shen Wei went out to soak in the hot spring to recuperate. She was worried about leaving the children in the palace, so she called Rong Mama and several wet nurses and said, "Send the children to the palace and ask the queen to take care of them."

The person Shen Wei trusts the most now is the Queen.

When she was giving birth, an assassin broke into the palace. Although the assassin had been arrested, Shen Wei was still frightened. Sending the child to the palace was the safest.

Rong Ma Ma nodded and said, "Master, rest assured. I will follow you to the palace. You should take good care of yourself and recover your lost health as soon as possible."

The servants of Liuli Pavilion worked efficiently, escorting the carriage and sending Shen Wei's three children to the palace. After receiving the news from the palace that the children had been safely delivered, Shen Wei felt relieved to take the carriage to the hot spring villa in the suburbs.

...

During the confinement period, I felt really bored. Today, I was finally able to go out. Shen Wei was in a good mood. Listening to the lively hawking of the neighbors outside the carriage, she felt happy and comfortable.

So far, her life has been going according to plan.

Next, Shen Wei planned to raise her three children well, let them grow up safely, and smoothly inherit the mantle of King Yan.

In twenty years at most, she will be able to live a carefree life in retirement and become a free and easy imperial concubine. The dream of every working person is to retire!

"Tanghulu~"

"Tanghulu, candied haws~"

The hawkers' cries came from outside the carriage. Shen Wei lifted the curtain and asked the guard to buy two strings of candied haws. She handed one string to the King of Yan and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, try it. This one is very sweet."

Shen Wei recovered well after giving birth. Her face became thinner, but her skin was still fair. Today, she wore simple clothes with only a white jade hairpin in her hair. She looked very elegant and refined.

King Yan smiled, with doting eyes: "You are already a mother, yet you are still as greedy as a child."

Shen Wei tilted her head and said nonchalantly, "There are no outsiders here, so I don't care."

His words were full of trust in King Yan.

There was a smile in King Yan's eyes.

He looked at Shen Wei intently, her every smile, every move, his heart seemed to be swept by a soft feather. When he first met Shen Wei in Fangfei Garden, King Yan never thought that such a small and weak woman would take root in his heart.

During the two months that Shen Wei was in confinement, undercurrents occurred in the Daqing court. The crown prince and the emperor were so ill that they could not get up and would not last for more than a few days.

The storm is coming, and Yanjing will face a bloody storm. The King of Yan is most worried about Shen Wei, so he sends Shen Wei to a farm in the suburbs for protection under the pretext of taking a hot spring bath.

Wait until the crisis is over and then bring Shen Wei back.

The carriage was moving very fast and quickly left Yanjing City and drove onto the spacious official road.

Halfway through the journey, the outline of the mountain where the hot spring villa is located can be seen from afar. In the carriage, King Yan calmly told Shen Wei: "Weiwei, I will send you to the hot spring villa today. You will recuperate in the villa first, and I will send someone after a while-"

Before he finished speaking, the sound of an arrow breaking through the air was suddenly heard outside the car.

bang bang bang-

The arrow struck from behind, and the arrowhead pierced deeply into the wall of the carriage in the palace. Shen Wei was startled, and the unfinished candied haws in her hand fell to the ground with a plop.

assassin?

Before Shen Wei could react, Prince Yan whispered to her, "Stay in the carriage and don't run around."
