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

By dark, the fish was cooked.

The Liu brothers were hunting in the mountains and had not returned yet. Shen Wei left half a pot of fish for the Liu brothers. It was a cool night, and Shen Wei, King Yan, and Granny Liu ate fish in the yard.

"Drink more fish soup, the wound will heal faster." Shen Wei filled a large bowl of fish soup for King Yan. She also patiently picked out the fish bones and minced the fish meat and mixed it into the fish soup.

Granny Liu next to him joked, "Young Master, it's rare to meet such a good lady. You must treat her well in the future."

There was a smile in King Yan's eyes.

After eating the fish and drinking the soup, it was already completely dark. People in the village generally went to bed early, and there were no candles. Shen Wei and King Yan squeezed into the small bed.

The bed was small, and the thin bed board creaked. Shen Wei couldn't sleep, and rubbed her aching waist with her hands. After giving birth, she was seriously exhausted, and she suffered from back pain, which came and went at night.

King Yan stretched out his generous hand and said, "Don't move. I'll rub it for you."

Shen Wei lay on the bed and said sullenly, "The injury on the back of the prince's shoulder hasn't healed yet, don't worry about me for now."

"It's okay." Prince Yan gently rubbed Shen Wei's waist.

After experiencing life and death together, Shen Wei still stayed by the side of King Yan. In King Yan's heart, Shen Wei was not only his woman, but also his confidant and the one in his heart.

Shen Wei's weight in his heart is getting heavier and heavier.

The force of the Prince of Yan's massage on her waist was just right, and Shen Wei's aching waist was relieved. She squinted her eyes, her eyelids slowly closed, and she murmured, "The Prince is so kind... I wish he could always be like this in the future..."

Lying on the bed, Shen Wei fell asleep quickly.

Moonlight poured in from the broken window, and King Yan lowered his eyes, his gaze resting on Shen Wei's peaceful sleeping face for a long time. King Yan sighed silently, he wanted to live an ordinary life with Shen Wei, but the burden on his shoulders was too heavy.

The country is more important than love.

Night falls over Kunning Palace.

The queen was not asleep. She was holding the chubby little Leyou in her arms and using an agate pony to amuse her.

Little Leyou opened his chubby hands, looked at the queen with his big black eyes, and called out in a baby voice: "Mother Fang Zhu... Mother Fang Zhu..."

Now one year old, Xiao Leyou can already speak and recognize people.

The Queen loved her very much and could not help but whispered, "It's the Imperial Grandmother. My dear grandson, call me the Imperial Grandmother again."

Little Leyou grasped the Queen's finger skillfully and said in a baby voice: "Mother Fang Zhu...Grandmother..."

The queen felt warm in her heart.

Perhaps it was the "inter-generational love". Every day, when the empress held her chubby granddaughter in her arms, listened to her granddaughter's sweet voice and her innocent laughter, she felt that the entire Kunning Palace became lively and lively.

"Empress." Nanny Qian walked in with a serious expression.

The queen raised her head and asked: "Is the Prince of Yan back?"

Madam Qian: "Not yet. The prince always has a backup plan. The tiger guards have found the missing horses. I believe they will find the prince soon."

After a pause, Madam Qian said, "I have arranged it according to your instructions."

The queen smiled and said, "Wait for the fish to bite tonight."

Little Leyou in his arms opened his mouth and imitated the Queen's voice: "Take the bait, take the bait~"

The queen touched her granddaughter's chubby face and said softly, "If Le You says she'll take the bait, she'll definitely take it. Even if she doesn't take the bait, she'll still be charged with the crime."

Late at night, Kunning Palace was quiet.

The wind blew, and the lush leaves in the palace rustled. In the side hall, two babies were sleeping soundly in the cradle, and the nurse who was taking care of the children was dozing beside the cradle.

The two maids lowered their heads and walked slowly into the side hall. They drew their sharp daggers and stabbed at the cradle fiercely.

boom--

The wet nurse who was pretending to be asleep stood up instantly and captured the two palace maids in a short time with ruthless means.

The lights in Kunning Palace lit up instantly, and the queen appeared in her nightgown. There was a cold look in her eyes: "Murdering my young son, with evil intentions. Send the imperial guards to surround Qihua Palace and tie up Concubine Qian."

The imperial guards were dispatched.

In the cradle, the two babies were still sleeping soundly, completely unaware that they had just become the Empress Dowager's bait.

...

...

Liujia Village, the fifth day at Granny Liu’s house.

It was a sunny afternoon. Liu Daniu and Liu Erniu were squatting in the yard, packing up the six wild rabbits they had hunted last night. Shen Wei and Granny Liu were busy in the kitchen.

"Brother, you are in such good health! You were shot by an arrow and had several knife wounds on your body, but you were able to walk so quickly." Liu Daniu moved a bench and asked King Yan to sit down.

King Yan said: "I have been practicing martial arts since I was young, so I have a good physique."

King Yan looked into the kitchen and saw Shen Wei kneading dough with Granny Liu. The yellow flour stained Shen Wei's nose, but she didn't notice it and followed Granny Liu to learn how to knead the dough.

So cute.

The King of Yan withdrew his gaze and focused on the six plump hares. Liu Daniu and Liu Erniu were busy skinning the hares with skillful movements.

The King of Yan discovered that the two hunters were surprisingly good at archery. Even at night when visibility was poor, they could accurately shoot running rabbits with their bows.

"Your archery skills are excellent." King Yan praised casually.

Liu Erniu smiled and said, "Of course, the three of us brothers have been hunting with our father since we were young. I wanted to go to Liangzhou to kill the enemy when I grew up, but unfortunately the third brother went to Liangzhou first. The third brother wrote to me last year, saying that he had become a centurion and that General Shen Mieyue was so brave that he killed the Yue bandits and made them retreat step by step!"

Speaking of Shen Mieyue, the Liu brothers could not hide their admiration in their eyes.

Defending the country is the ambition of Daqing men.

The King of Yan said: "A man's ambition is to go far and wide. If you can't go to Liangzhou to kill the enemy, you can go to Yanjing to be a city guard."

Liu Erniu was peeling rabbit skins, his tone melancholy: "Brother, to be honest, we two brothers admire two people the most - one is General Shen and the other is King Yan. General Shen guards the border for the country, and King Yan protects the people. Bandits are rampant in the mountains near our Liujia Village. Five years ago, King Yan sent troops to kill the bandits, and the nearby villages returned to peace."

"The King of Yan cares about the people, so we brothers can't accept his kindness for nothing. We also want to go to Yanjing to be city guards. But the city guards also have to look at their background. If you don't pay, you can't become one. They are not soldiers protecting the imperial city, but thieves who take advantage of the people."

King Yan fell into deep thought.

The soldiers guarding the city of Yanjing have become so rotten? When I return to Yanjing, I must make great efforts to rectify them. The soldiers under the emperor's feet must not be a bunch of useless people who are just trying to get money.

"You came from Yanjing. Have you met His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan?" Liu Erniu asked curiously, "Is he very powerful? As powerful as General Shen?"

Before the King of Yan could answer, the ground suddenly shook slightly, as if a large group of people were running towards him, startling everyone in the yard.

Liu Daniu and Liu Erniu stood up and quickly picked up the hunting knives hanging on the wall: "Is it another bandit? Mother, you and Shen Niangzi hide in the house and don't come out."

A large number of cavalrymen stopped at the gate of the yard.

Outside the courtyard wall, a fluttering black flag with the word "Swallow" embroidered in gold was fluttering in the wind.

The wooden door opened, and two armored tiger guards strode in, knelt on one knee, and bowed to greet: "Your Highness, please forgive me for being late!"
