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

When a novice practices archery with his arms exposed, the area inside his wrist can easily be injured by the bowstring, leaving a bruise.

There were bruises on Shen Wei's elbows.

Looking at Shen Wei's left index finger, the skin was already broken, and the redness between the fair fingers was really shocking.

Shen Wei seemed not to notice: "I don't feel good wearing the arm guard, so I took it off. Archery is very interesting. Watching the sharp arrow pierce the target makes me very happy."

Li Yuanjing's eyes were gloomy.

I suddenly felt a little regretful. I shouldn't have taught Weiwei archery on a whim.

Archery is a man's job. Shen Wei is a delicate woman, how could she endure such suffering?

"Don't practice anymore in the future." Li Yuanjing looked at the bruises on Shen Wei's arm, his heart aching.

Shen Wei smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I am not afraid of hardship. If I can become a master archer, I can protect you if you are in danger in the future—"

After a pause, Shen Wei suddenly lowered her head and added sullenly, "Three years ago, you took me to the hot spring villa. On the way, you encountered an assassin and were shot by an arrow... At that time, I thought that if I knew archery and some martial arts, maybe you would be less injured..."

Look, she practiced archery so hard not just for herself.

She did all this for the Emperor!

Are you touched?

Li Yuanjing's heart was filled with emotions as he recalled the events of three years ago.

He held Shen Wei tightly in his arms, lowered his head and kissed Shen Wei's hair, his heart was filled with dense pain, mixed with unconcealed emotion and love: "I am a man, how can I rely on a woman's protection."

At dawn, all people in the world are praying for the emperor's protection.

Only his Weiwei actually wanted to protect him with her weak shoulders.

"Come here, remove the target." Li Yuanjing ordered.

Shen Wei was shocked and grabbed Li Yuanjing's sleeve: "Your Majesty!"

Li Yuanjing stroked her hair and said, "Weiwei, be obedient. You don't need to practice archery anymore. I will protect you for the rest of your life."

Shen Wei curled her lips silently in her heart.

Life is long, how can it be smooth sailing?

But Shen Wei still pretended to be surprised, and then tears welled up in her eyes: "Your Majesty is my heaven, and I wish your Majesty a safe and smooth life."

The two hugged each other tenderly for a while until the eunuch came to announce that dinner was ready.

Li Yuanjing personally applied ointment to Shen Wei's arm, and then the two had their meal together.

Perhaps out of concern for the bruises on Shen Wei's arms, Li Yuanjing was very quiet and just hugged Shen Wei and fell asleep.

It was late at night and Yongning Palace was quiet. Shen Wei listened to the even breathing sounds coming from her ears and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The self-torture tactic was still useful, and she finally didn't have to practice archery anymore.

...

...

On the second day, Shen Mieyue escorted the Yue Kingdom delegation to Yanjing City. Shen Mieyue was a famous war god who protected the peace of Daqing and had a very high reputation among the people.

In the past few decades, in the border wars between Qing and Yue, Yue often had the upper hand.

Since Shen Mie Yue appeared, Yue State has not gained any benefits from the war.

As soon as Shen Mieyue entered Yanjing City, the people lined the streets to welcome him. There were also groups of young people who excitedly raised their arms and shouted "The general is mighty."

The news reached Shen Wei in the palace. Cai Ping danced with joy, her eyes showing undisguised admiration: "Master, General Shen Mieyue is majestic and strong, and in his armor, he looks exactly like the god of war in the picture book! The people lined the streets to welcome him, shouting that he is a great hero."

"There are many children who jump and follow General Shen Mieyue, saying that they are willing to be General Shen's soldiers and swear to follow the great general Shenwu until death."

Cai Ping chattered non-stop, obviously admiring Shen Mieyue very much.

Shen Wei's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and she put the account book down with a snap.

She smelled a conspiracy.

Shen Mieyue was ordered to return to the capital, and the people lined the streets to welcome the general's return, which was understandable. But inexplicably, there were more young men and ignorant children who kept saying that they wanted to follow Shen Mieyue.

Where does this put the emperor?

A minister whose reputation exceeds that of the emperor is considered to be too great to be trusted by the emperor!

Shen Wei asked: "Has my elder brother entered the palace?"

Cai Ping replied, "He has not yet entered the palace. At this hour, the envoy should be sent to the embassy."

Shen Wei quickly fetched paper and pen and wrote a note. She handed the note to Cai Ping: "Run faster and find a guard named Liu Erniu at the palace gate before my elder brother enters the palace. Ask Liu Erniu to give the note to my elder brother."

Cai Ping saw Shen Wei's serious expression, so she immediately retracted her smile and took the note cautiously: "I will do it right away."

Caiping greased her feet and ran very fast.

In the room, Shen Wei held the brush and called the eunuch Jixiang again: "Jixiang, contact the shopkeeper Ye of Weiyanji. Ask her to find out who instructed those nonsense kids."

Shen Wei was not idle during her three years in Donghua Mountain. She worked hard to expand her shops in Yanjing, and based on her business territory, she established her own information network to learn about the slightest movement in Yanjing.

In addition to doing business, Ye Qiushuang, the owner of Wei Yan Ji, also secretly operates this huge information network.

Jixiang receives the order.

Shen Wei thought about it, and suddenly called Jixiang again: "Wait."

Jixiang turned around and said, "Master, do you have any other instructions?"

Shen Wei thought for a moment and smiled coldly: "Forget it, there is no need to ask Shopkeeper Ye to investigate. Let the emperor personally investigate the culprit who instigated the young man and the child..."

The emperor can gain the greatest benefit by finding out the instigator behind the scenes.

Since the rat in the gutter dared to fan the flames secretly, Shen Wei might as well let the fire burn more vigorously and let the person behind the scenes get burned.

...

In Changxin Palace, roses are blooming luxuriantly.

A bowl of warm pregnancy-preserving medicine was brought over. Concubine Lu Xuan endured the bitterness of the medicine and drank it in small sips.

With candied fruit in her mouth, she asked her personal maid, "Xiaoqin, how is the matter going?"

Xiaoqin replied: "Master, don't worry. I have sent a message to Duke Lu. Rumors about Shen Mieyue are already spreading on the streets of Yanjing, creating the impression that he is so powerful that he is admired by everyone."

Lu Xuan held her chin with her hands and sneered.

How can a mere concubine Chen fight against her?

She only needs to use a little trick to make the emperor feel wary of the Shen family and plant a nail of fear in the emperor's heart. One day, the emperor will eradicate the Shen family.

...

In the city of Yanjing.

Shen Mieyue sent the Yue State delegation to the embassy to rest temporarily. Shen Mieyue turned around and prepared to go to the palace to pay homage to the emperor.

"General Shen." A clear voice called Shen Mieyue, and the envoy named Mo Xun stepped forward.

Mo Xun bowed and said, "General Shen has made great achievements in battle and is loved by the people. However, as the saying goes, it is easy to fall hard when you climb high. General Shen is good at leading troops in battle and is also far away from the intrigues of the court. I would like to remind you: be cautious in everything you do."

Shen Mieyue held the reins of the horse in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Thank you, my friend. I know how to deal with it."

He spurred his horse and led his soldiers towards the palace.

Shen Xiuming stayed at the embassy and arranged for people to receive the envoy. He quickly approached Mo Xun and said in a boastful tone: "You are kind-hearted. However, although my brother is a warrior, he has a wise heart and knows his limits."

Mo Xunliang glanced at Shen Xiuming leisurely.

Mo Xun had a delicate appearance and beautiful eyes. In this casual glance, the light in her eyes flowed like spring water in March, rushing into Shen Xiuming's heart.

Mo Xun: "It's still early, shall I invite Judge Shen to have a drink?"

"Sir Mo, drinking is harmful to your health." Shen Xiuming suppressed the strange feelings in his heart and politely bowed to refuse.

Mo Xun grinned: "I know a little bit about medicine. When I was traveling around the world, people called me Dr. Mo. If you've hurt yourself by drinking, I can heal you."
