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

The Liu brothers were stunned.

What prince?

In the kitchen, Shen Wei silently put down the half-kneaded dough in her hand, and five days of wonderful pastoral time finally came to a successful end.

Shen Wei thanked Granny Liu for taking her in and left the Liu family yard. Outside the house was a sea of ​​tiger guards, each covered in iron armor, looking majestic and cold under the bright daylight, like the devil from hell.

What a majestic team.

There was no carriage, so Shen Wei could only sit on the horse of the King of Yan. In the courtyard, the King of Yan told the Liu brothers who were still in shock: "Come to Yanjing to serve as city guards in March, and there will be no bribery."

The Liu brothers were still sleepwalking.

The Prince of Yan asked the Tiger Guards to leave some silver behind, and he went out and mounted his horse.

The five days of recuperation in Liujia Village left a deep impression on the King of Yan. But he knew that now was not the time to enjoy a restful life, as he still had the responsibility of his country and the world on his shoulders.

drive--

Grabbing the reins, the King of Yan protected Shen Wei in his arms and led the Tiger Guards to gallop away. The dust flew up and the large group of people and horses quickly disappeared.

In the courtyard, Liu Erniu stammered, "Brother, mother, is that His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan?"

Granny Liu held the unkneaded dough in her hand with a smile on her face: "The dough hasn't been kneaded yet. If I had known, I would have moved faster and let him have a bowl of noodles before leaving."

...

Shen Wei didn't like riding horses very much. She looked down at her palms, which were still stained with flour.

She felt a little regretful. It was her first time kneading the dough, so she could at least eat a bowl of noodles before leaving.

The wind was whistling, and King Yan noticed Shen Wei's small movements and whispered, "Can't bear to leave?"

Shen Wei was actually quite reluctant to leave.

Although the rural life was good, the bed was too hard, there were mosquitoes biting at night, and the food was simple. She still preferred to live a good life with money.

But Shen Wei still looked reluctant to leave, and nodded sullenly: "I am a little reluctant. But you are not an ordinary citizen, and the people of the world need you. These five days are the best days of my life, and I will always remember them in my heart."

Prince Yan's heart was in turmoil.

Having gone through hardships and life and death together, weren't these five days of recuperation the best time in his heart?

Prince Yan held Shen Wei in his arms and rode away on his horse. The towering city gate of Yanjing could be seen in the distance.

...

...

After returning to Yanjing City, Prince Yan did not send Shen Wei back to the palace, but placed her in a remote courtyard outside Yanjing City.

Shen Wei could also understand King Yan's approach.

There might be assassins attacking the palace. If we go back now, something bad might happen. Shen Wei felt uncomfortable and dizzy after the bumpy ride.

King Yan held Shen Wei's hand and said, "Weiwei, you stay here for a while. When the situation is settled, I will take you back."

Shen Wei nodded dazedly, not thinking carefully about the deep meaning of "the overall situation has been settled". She skillfully and quickly showed a concerned look: "Your Highness, please be careful. I will wait for you to come home."

King Yan hugged Shen Wei tightly again and left with the tiger guards. Shen Wei was so sleepy that she walked into the bed in the yard, fell down and fell into a deep sleep.

Shen Wei was very happy.

This time, it was a blessing in disguise, and she and the King of Yan had a friendship of sharing weal and woe. From then on, Shen Wei completely took root in the King of Yan's heart and became the most important woman in his heart.

Shen Wei rolled over on the bed happily, thinking happily that in a dozen years, she would be able to retire smoothly and become the old concubine of the palace, and live a comfortable and beautiful retirement life! After retirement, she wanted to travel around the world and be free.

Had a happy sleep.

Shen Wei slept until dawn, then stretched and got up. She was in a good mood, and everything she saw was pleasant. The sunlight was gentle in the morning, the roses on the courtyard wall were blooming beautifully, and the wind was refreshing and gentle.

This courtyard was remote, and there weren't many servants. There was only an elderly lame woman cooking in the kitchen. Shen Wei was a little puzzled. Why didn't the King of Yan send Cai Lian and Cai Ping over?

"Concubine, please don't wander around." The lame old woman came over to greet Shen Wei and said earnestly, "Prince Heng is rebelling, the whole city is in chaos, it's safe here."

Shen Wei paused while stretching. She thought she had heard wrongly: "Who rebelled?"

The lame old woman sighed, "Prince Heng and Concubine Qian poisoned His Majesty and stabbed the Crown Prince to death. The prince is leading his troops to quell the rebellion, and the city of Yanjing is in chaos. Concubine, don't worry, His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan will definitely be able to quell the rebellion."

Shen Wei's head was buzzing.

Every word the lame old woman said was like thunder hitting her head, making Shen Wei dizzy.

"You take a rest first, the rice porridge will be ready soon." The old woman gave a few instructions and went back to the kitchen to cook porridge.

Shen Wei stood blankly in the yard. The sun was no longer gentle, the roses on the wall were no longer fragrant, and the wind was no longer comfortable. When she went to the hot spring villa, she was assassinated. Shen Wei thought it was just an ordinary assassin. After all, the King of Yan was assassinated from time to time.

But now that I think about it carefully, the assassin was most likely sent by King Heng.

The crown prince died, the emperor died, and only the Prince of Yan and the Prince of Heng were left in Daqing. There were only two possible endings: if the Prince of Yan ascended the throne, Shen Wei would go from being a concubine to a palace concubine; if the Prince of Heng ascended the throne, Shen Wei would go from being a concubine to being killed by the sword.

"Are you sure that King Yan can win?" Shen Wei rushed to the kitchen.

The lame old woman smiled, thinking that Shen Wei was worried about Prince Yan, so she gently comforted her: "Don't worry, concubine. The prince had planned it long ago, and disappearing for five days was also in his plan. Only when the prince disappears, will Prince Heng take the initiative to show his claws..."

Shen Wei could no longer hear the rest of the words, her head was filled with confusion.

Since traveling through time, Shen Wei has made a life plan for herself - [Become a retired old concubine]. Everything went according to her plan, but she never expected that the Prince of Yan might become the emperor!

Why would he be the emperor if he has nothing else to do?

The accident happened too quickly. The prince's mansion was about to become a royal palace, and the private company was about to become a complex state-owned enterprise.

Shen Wei sat on the stone steps of the eaves. Her carefully planned life project might fail.

If she knew from the beginning that the Prince of Yan would become the emperor, Shen Wei would never have shown her talent so early. When the new emperor ascended the throne, beautiful women like flowers crowded into the harem. They had backgrounds and family backgrounds, and they would not be as lazy as Liu Ruyan and Zhang Miaoyu. They would definitely try every means to win favor.

Shen Wei, who is favored and has children, will become their living target.

Shen Wei thought about it seriously.

Would it be better if she escaped from Yanjing at this moment, away from King Yan and the court gossip?

If she didn't run now, there would be no turning back. The prince's mansion and the imperial palace were two completely different battlefields.

The gate of the courtyard was wide open, and the sun was dazzling. The lame old woman was busy, and the King of Yan was still suppressing the rebellion in Yanjing City. In the days of the transition of power between the old and the new, everyone was busy, and Shen Wei's escape at this time would not attract too many people's attention. Even if the King of Yan knew that she was missing, he would not be able to spare the energy to send people to look for her. After all, the country is more important than Shen Wei.

Shen Wei sat on the stone steps with the courtyard door wide open. The vast world outside seemed to be waving to her, silently tempting her to give up everything and run towards freedom.

Shen Wei quickly thought of a plan in her mind: she could fake her death, run to Nanshan Gengtian to find Shen Qiang, hide for a while, change her appearance, transfer the industry in Yanjing, and leave Yanjing with a huge fortune.

Shen Wei closed her eyes. She didn't want to be trapped in the palace for the rest of her life. No one was more important than herself.

Shen Wei was never a hesitant person. She only sat on the stone steps of the courtyard for less than half a cup of tea before she made up her mind to run away. From then on, there was no more Concubine Shen in the world, only the female merchant Shen Wei.

The lame old woman in the kitchen was still cooking porridge. Shen Wei stood up suddenly and strode towards the world outside the yard. She saw Luoyue Lake outside the yard and the rolling green hills in the distance.

When she ran to the gate of the yard, Shen Wei's skirt was suddenly caught by the rose thorns. She grabbed the hem of her skirt in frustration and pulled hard, but it didn't move. The rose was blooming very beautifully, with full and delicate petals, but Shen Wei had no intention of appreciating it.

After a while of stalemate, Shen Wei simply bent down and tore off the skirt that was caught by the thorns.

The hem of her light-colored skirt fell off, the restraints were released, and Shen Wei rushed out of the yard. The refreshing wind blew on her face, blowing up the black hair at her temples. A new journey seemed to be within her grasp.

"Vivi!"

An urgent voice sounded.

Shen Wei's arm was grabbed. She turned around and saw King Yan's anxious face.

Shen Wei knew she had no way out.
