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

Don’t be afraid of being laughed at by others if this gets out!

According to the rules and regulations formulated by the royal family of Qing Kingdom, the princes' enlightenment education began at the age of six and ended when they reached adulthood and were canonized as princes.

But Li Yuanjing was different. He had no interest in studying since he was a child, but he loved fighting. He learned archery at the age of three, and later learned to ride a pony. When he was a teenager, he joined the army and lived and ate with a group of soldiers. He originally planned to be a prince who fought all over the world all his life, but he ascended the throne halfway.

Now, looking at his two three-year-old sons, he vaguely saw his childhood self, and a sense of familiarity suddenly welled up in his heart.

"You're pulling the bow with the wrong amount of force," Li Yuanjing reminded.

The children's bow and arrow in Shen Wei's hand went astray.

She blushed and argued, "My archery posture is definitely correct. It's just that I don't have enough strength."

Li Yuanjing raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "What strength does it take for a young child to shoot a bow and arrow?"

Shen Wei said nothing and put the children's bow and arrow on the stone table, looking like she was telling him to do it if he could do it.

Li Yuanjing picked up the child's bow and arrow on the table. He drew the bow and drew the arrow with almost no effort. The small wooden arrow accurately pierced into the straw target.

Hit the target.

Shen Wei looked dazed.

Li Chengyou's eyes widened and his fat face was full of astonishment. He ran to the target with his chubby legs and found that the small wooden arrow had perfectly pierced the center of the red bull's eye!

"Father is so awesome!" Li Chengyou felt an irrepressible admiration in his heart. He ran back, raised his little neck and looked at Li Yuanjing eagerly.

Li Chengyou tugged at Li Yuanjing's clothes and said in a coquettish tone, "Father, can you teach me? I want to learn! I really want to learn!"

Li Chengtai, who was watching quietly at the side, also frowned, looked at the target, and then at his tall and majestic father.

He pursed his lips slightly and took the initiative to walk over: "Father, Chengtai also wants to learn."

Li Chengtai wanted to learn all the skills of his father.

Become a person like his father, surpass his father, so that no one will dare to bully his mother, sister and brother.

Looking at his two sons on his left and right, Li Yuanjing couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

Among Li Yuanjing's sons, the others trembled when they saw him, just like mice seeing a cat. Only Shen Wei's son was the bravest and most considerate, daring to act like a spoiled child to him and actively learning from him.

Li Yuanjing was very satisfied.

The son of an emperor must never be timid and cowardly.

"Okay, I'll teach you." Li Yuanjing had plenty of time after finishing his duties for the day. He personally taught his two sons how to draw a bow, adjust their shooting posture, and draw an arrow.

Lee Seung-tae and Lee Seung-woo studied very hard.

Shen Wei was drinking elegant scented tea, eating delicious shortbread, and watching the father and his two sons practicing archery leisurely.

Fathers must not be absent from family education. Shen Wei must let Li Yuanjing participate in the child's growth and education to bring the father and son closer.

After practicing for half an hour, the archery skills of both children improved slightly. Li Yuanjing felt a strong sense of accomplishment in his chest. He turned his eyes and caught a glimpse of Shen Wei drinking tea not far away.

Li Yuanjing said: "Don't just stand there, come and learn too."

Shen Wei added a spoonful of honey to the teacup and stirred it with a small porcelain spoon. She didn't want to move and hypocritically praised Li Yuanjing: "Your Majesty is brave and powerful. I am a woman in a family. I don't go out of the main door or the second door. I can just embroider and drink tea. There is no point in learning archery."

Li Yuanjing raised his eyebrows: "You are lazy."

Shen Wei replied confidently, "I won't learn. My arms will get sore from pulling the bow. Leyou is still playing in the water. I'll go check on him first."

Shen Wei handed the brewed honey tea to Li Yuanjing, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, and then ran away.

Li Yuanjing smiled and shook his head. All the concubines in the palace obeyed him in every way.

Only Shen Wei would occasionally act like a spoiled child and throw a tantrum in front of him. In the harem full of flowers and splendours, she was always so eye-catching and outstanding, seducing and attracting people.

"Don't be like your mother, who fishes for three days and rests for two days." Li Yuanjing walked to his son and bent down to adjust Li Chengyou's bow posture.

Li Chengyou has always admired his father and nodded vigorously: "I know! I will practice archery well and become as good as my father!"

Li Chengtai next to him also began to practice silently, his little face fully focused. He pulled the small wooden bow and the wooden arrow flew towards the target.

...

As the sky gets dark, Yongning Palace becomes bustling with activity.

The carefully prepared dinner was served. Leyou and her friends caught a few fish, and Shen Wei asked the kitchen to make a pot of fragrant fish soup, as well as sweet and sour fish and fish soup.

The dinner table was very lively.

Li Yao, Li Nanzhi, Li Wan'er, Le You, Cheng Tai and Cheng You sat around the rosewood dining table. The palace maids carefully picked out the fish bones, crushed the fish meat into small pieces, and distributed them to the young masters.

Shen Wei also gave the big pumpkin sent by the Queen Mother to the cook. The cook cut the big pumpkin into small pieces, put red dates, honey, wolfberry, fermented glutinous rice and starch in it, and steamed it in a pot to make bowls of sweet and delicious honey steamed pumpkin.

Li Yuanjing and Shen Wei sat at the main seat at the table. Li Yuanjing's aura was so strong that Li Yao, Li Nanzhi and Li Wan'er were very reserved at first, but then they gradually relaxed and began to eat dinner seriously.

The fish soup is delicious and the pumpkin is sweet, and the children love it.

Li Yuanjing looked at the fish soup on the table with a delicate mood.

As an emperor, he had drunk many delicious fish soups since he was a child. But the fish soup on the table tonight was the most special, as it was the fish caught by his daughter herself.

It is of extraordinary significance and unprecedented.

Li Yuanjing found the fish soup particularly delicious.

After dinner, the children were all very full. Le You said goodbye to Shen Wei and Li Yuanjing: "Father, Mother, Le You is going back to the Empress Dowager. If you go too late, the fish soup will be cold."

Le You was still thinking about the Empress Dowager in the Cining Palace, so he asked the palace maid to prepare a bowl of fish soup and put it in the food box in advance, ready to send it to the Empress Dowager.

After dinner, Le You and his two brothers left Yongning Palace together. Li Yao and the other three girls also saluted Li Yuanjing in a proper manner and returned to the palace under the escort of the palace servants.

The moon rises over the willows and night falls.

Shen Wei ate too much in the evening, so she and Li Yuanjing took a walk in the yard to cool off.

On a spring night, the palace walls were quiet, and the sound of unknown insects could be heard in the bushes. The roses in the yard were uprooted, and the newly planted flowers and plants were wilting. The two walked to the archery target in the backyard, and the lanterns on the eaves were bright, illuminating the backyard.

Li Yuanjing was very interested and said to Shen Wei: "Come, I will teach you archery again."

Shen Wei: "..."

She didn't really want to learn.

But Li Yuanjing had asked the eunuch to bring a lighter bow and arrow. He held Shen Wei in his arms and taught her how to draw the bow: "You need to have enough strength to draw the bow, and raise your arms."

Shen Wei leaned her back against Li Yuanjing's chest and slowly pulled the bow according to his instructions.

call out--

The arrow went crooked.

Li Yuanjing did not give up and continued to teach her patiently. The cool breeze at night blew up Shen Wei's black hair, and the ends of her hair brushed against the corners of Li Yuanjing's lips like feathers.

Itchy.

There is also a light and elegant fragrance, which smells very nice.

That is the unique fragrance of Shen Wei.

Li Yuanjing lowered his gaze. From his angle, he could see Shen Wei's beautiful profile. The corners of her pink lips were slightly curled, and there seemed to be a faint watery glow on her lips. Her skin was as white as jade, her eyelashes were long and curled, and her body was as slender as a willow.

As Shen Wei drew the bow, her slender arms vaguely touched Li Yuanjing's chest.

Unconsciously teasing.

boom--

"bingo!"

Shen Wei practiced more than ten times, and the arrow finally hit the target. She turned around happily, looked at Li Yuanjing with sparkling eyes, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I hit the target. I will continue to practice tomorrow."

The next moment, Shen Wei discovered that Li Yuanjing's eyes looked a little strange, as if there was a flash of fire in his dark eyes.

Li Yuanjing hooked his hand around Shen Wei's slender waist, lowered his head slightly, and enveloped Shen Wei with his warm breath. His voice was hoarse: "Go back to the bedroom."

A breeze suddenly blows, rippling the spring water.

...

...

In the Qing Palace, Li Nanzhi returned to Yuxiu Palace under the moonlight, carrying a food box in her hand. Yuxiu Palace was the bedroom of Concubine Mei Liu Ruyan. As night fell, only a few palace maids were sweeping the floor in the courtyard.

Yuxiu Palace is always quiet and deserted.

Li Nanzhi walked through the long corridor and saw that the lights in the pavilion were still on. Liu Ruyan had not yet fallen asleep. She had ordered people to put a few tables and chairs on the empty platform in the pavilion and was drinking alone under the moon.

"Mother." Li Nanzhi called softly.

It was a cool spring night, with moonlight shining lonely in the inner courtyard of the palace. Liu Ruyan sat at the railing, her white sleeves fluttering in the wind, as if she was about to ascend to heaven.

Li Nanzhi said worriedly, "Mother, it's cold at night. I brought a bowl of hot fish soup for you to try."
