Only fairies have an everlasting beauty.

Madam Liu said, "Ms. Shen lives in Donghua Mountain. I think the mountain is full of spiritual energy, so her appearance has not changed at all."

The Queen was filled with worry and rubbed her temples tiredly. The faces of Shen Wei's three children appeared in front of her again, each of them was well-fed, lively and healthy. The Emperor looked at Le You with eyes full of fatherly love.

The two boys were strong despite their young age and were not afraid of big occasions.

The queen became alert.

Shen Wei has two sons. If the emperor passes the throne to one of them in the future... the queen doesn't dare to think about it.

She must suppress Shen Wei and find a way to get rid of Shen Wei's child. The queen thought for a moment and told Liu Ma: "In two days, let Shen bring her three children to pay respects to me."

Nanny Liu was feeling depressed. Was the Queen planning to attack Shen Wei again?

Madam Liu advised again and again, but the queen refused to listen. Shen was not an easy person to deal with, so she must not be provoked!

Madam Liu could only say, "Master, I have sent someone to inquire about this matter. The Queen Mother likes the three children and has brought them all to the Cining Palace."

With the Queen Mother's care, who in the palace dared to take action against Shen Wei's child? If the Queen wanted to see Shen Wei's child, she had to go to the Cining Palace herself.

The queen was furious and clenched the jade Buddhist beads in her hand: "My mother is really confused! I am the emperor's legitimate wife. My mother doesn't care about the legitimate grandson, but likes a child born by a concubine."

Nanny Liu lowered her head and said nothing.

The Queen asked again: "The Emperor has not yet given Shen a title, where will Shen be placed tonight?"

Madam Liu replied: "Yongning Palace."

The queen clenched her Buddhist beads, her heart invaded by jealousy: "The emperor actually gave her the Yongning Palace. It seems that General Shen Mieyue is really respected."

Madam Liu poured another cup of tea and presented it to the Queen. The Queen did not touch the cup, her fingers unconsciously pinching the string of Buddhist beads.

Since moving into Kunning Palace, the Queen almost stopped burning incense and worshipping Buddha, and she also lost the habit of pinching Buddhist beads. Today, Shen Wei returned to the palace with her three children in a high-profile manner, and the Queen felt inexplicably terrified.

She couldn't help but pinch her Buddhist beads again.

The queen's eyes were filled with coldness. She said in a shrill voice, "I have been the queen for three years, and even Lu Xuan couldn't suppress me, let alone a newly arrived Shen. Madam Liu, let the maids in Yongning Palace keep an eye on Shen for me!"

Among the original palace maids in Yongning Palace, there are spies of the Queen. The Queen must always understand the movements of Yongning Palace and not give Shen Wei a chance to turn things around again.

Nanny Liu sighed inwardly, thinking that the Queen would lose her mind every time she met Shen.

Some people are determined to throw themselves into a flame and cannot be persuaded.

...

Not only the Queen was wary of Shen Wei, but Concubine Lu Xuan of Changxin Palace also felt like she was facing a formidable enemy.

As the sky gradually darkened, the setting sun faded away and the dark night set in. Lu Xuan sat by the window, taking off the jewelry on the ends of her hair in front of the mirror, her brows furrowed.

The personal maid Xiaoqin came in and while removing Lu Xuan's makeup, she reported: "My Lord, Xiaoqi and the others have already found out. The Emperor has placed Shen in Yongning Palace, and Shen's three children live in the Empress Dowager's Palace. Tonight, the Emperor will stay in Yongning Palace."

Lu Xuan frowned: "The emperor seems to still have feelings for Shen."

Xiaoqin comforted her, "It's been a long time since we last met, and the emperor still feels fresh about Shen. Master, just wait and see. When the emperor's freshness wears off, Shen's favor will not be as good as yours. Master, you have been in the palace for two years, and you are the only one who has been favored by the emperor, and no one can match you."

Lu Xuan sighed slowly.

Yes, the emperor’s feelings for Shen were the freshness of a long-awaited reunion.

But if the emperor really liked Shen, why would he not give her a title until now? Therefore, the emperor's love is time-limited, and the emperor is never a person of long-lasting love.

Seeing the emperor favoring other women, Lu Xuan's heart still ached.

"That Shen really surprised me." Lu Xuan slowly pulled out the white jade hairpin from her hair. "She was born in a peasant family, and she is very pretty. She doesn't look like a woman who has given birth to three children. It's not an exaggeration to say that she is a virgin."

Before giving birth, Lu Xuan was the most beautiful woman in the imperial harem. But after giving birth, she could clearly feel her beauty fading, her cheeks became thinner, and her eyes became dull.

Even if you take a lot of beauty care drugs, you still can't make up for the lost youth.

Seeing the radiant Shen Wei today, Lu Xuan suddenly felt that she was overshadowed.

In fact, at first glance, Lu Xuan and Liu Ruyan were both prettier than Shen Wei. But Shen Wei had a vitality that came from within, full of vigor and vitality, like a bud emerging from the soil in spring.

Xiaoqin said sullenly, "Master, why do you keep praising Shen? This only boosts others' ambitions and destroys your own prestige."

Lu Xuan smiled and poked the maid's forehead with her finger: "Only by recognizing the strengths of your opponent can you see your own weaknesses."

Xiaoqin nodded, not quite understanding.

Lu Xuan curled her lips and smiled: "Hold still for now. I want to see how capable the Shen family is."

...

...

On the other side, Eunuch Deshun personally led Shen Wei to Yongning Palace in accordance with the emperor's instructions.

"Yongning Palace? Isn't this where the emperor goes fishing?" Shen Wei was a little surprised.

The origin of Yongning Palace is unusual.

At the beginning, there is a clear pool called "Yongning Pool". Next to the pool is the Xuanming Hall where the emperor rested alone.

Whenever Li Yuanjing had some free time, he would go fishing in Yongning Pond to kill time. Later, he asked the Ministry of Works to build a spacious palace along the pond and named it "Yongning Palace".

Deshun smiled and said, "The emperor has already arranged everything and let the master live in Yongning Palace."

Deshun opened the door of Yongning Palace.

The pavilions in Yongning Palace were very similar to the Liuli Pavilion in Prince Yan's Mansion, and even the pavilions beside the pool were almost identical. However, there was no vegetable garden in the courtyard, which was filled with bright red roses.

Shen Wei walked into the hall. The home furnishings were complete. Elegant incense was burning in the gilded copper stove, and the beds and bedding in the bedroom were neatly arranged.

As soon as it got dark, lanterns were lit in Yongning Palace.

Cai Ping and Rong Mama, who had not been seen for a long time, showed up, both with tears in their eyes. All the eunuchs and maids of the Liuli Pavilion were there, kneeling on the ground respectfully, and excitedly paying their respects to Shen Wei.

"Welcome the master back to the palace!"

Shen Wei smiled and said, "Everyone stand up."

Rong Mama is in charge of the palace maids and has extensive experience. Caiping is a female official in Shangshiju, making connections and listening to gossip. When Shen Wei returns, Li Yuanjing sends them all back to serve Shen Wei.

As for Deshun, he works diligently and is now the deputy chief eunuch in the palace, so he cannot go back to serve Shen Wei.

After Shen Wei chatted with them for a while, she did not rest and started to work non-stop: "Cai Ping, send away all the eunuchs and maids in Yongning Palace, leaving no one behind. Rong Mama, go pick a few smart and clever palace maids and send them to Yongning Palace to work."

"Jixiang, take a few young eunuchs with you tomorrow and pull out the roses in the yard. From now on, roses are not allowed to be planted in Yongning Palace. Then open a vegetable garden and a flower bed to grow vegetables and flowers. Install two archery targets in the backyard, and ask the Shanggong Bureau to send a bow and arrow."

"Take down the lanterns on the courtyard wall tomorrow and replace them with flower lanterns. Check the front and back of the house, the roof, the ground, and even the pool three times. There must not be anything suspicious or harmful. Change the bedding in the house to green satin... As long as you do your job well, I will not treat you unfairly."

Shen Wei gave the instructions in an orderly manner. Cai Lian and Cai Ping listened carefully and began to take notes with the pens in their hands. There was even a hint of excitement in their eyes.

Caiping thought excitedly, the familiar feeling of struggle is back!

In the lifeless harem, only by following Master Shen Wei can one feel the excitement and satisfaction of overcoming all obstacles!

A new journey begins!

As the night deepened, the crescent moon hung high in the sky, with stars twinkling in the sky. The lanterns of Yongning Palace swayed in the night breeze, and the copper bells on the eaves made crisp sounds.

After taking a bath, Shen Wei lay down beside the rosewood desk and practiced calligraphy, writing very slowly, stroke by stroke. At this time, the voice of Eunuch Deshun came from outside the room:

"The Emperor has arrived."
