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

The light was dim, and King Yan looked at Zhang Yue's face.

Zhang Yue looked good, but she was too thin and her skin was frighteningly pale. Her big, bright eyes were full of greed for power, which really disgusted the King of Yan.

Zhang Yue was similar to the concubines who had just served the emperor in the past. She was ambitious and conceited, but in the end she gradually lost her vitality and became dull and boring.

King Yan suddenly felt bored.

He waved his sleeves: "Stay well."

Prince Yan turned and walked out of the bedroom, intending to go to Fangfei Garden next door to find Shen Wei.

Outside the palace, the chief eunuch Fugui and the maids Fang'er and Cui'er were patiently waiting for orders. Usually, after the King of Yan and his concubines had sex, they would ask for water to bathe and wash their bodies.

Hot water had already been prepared outside the house, waiting for King Yan's call at any time.

"Eunuch Fugui, do you think my Master Zhang can be as favored as Master Shen next door?" Fang'er asked Fugui in a low voice.

Fugui smiled and told the truth: "Compared with Master Shen, your Master Zhang is far inferior."

Having served Prince Yan for many years, Fugui had never seen a concubine as special as Shen Wei, whose methods of competing for favor were novel and just right.

Prince Yan was subtly concerned about Shen Wei.

When they passed by Fangfei Garden just now, Fugui saw clearly that King Yan looked towards Fangfei Garden several times.

Fang Er pouted her pink lips and said dissatisfiedly, "They are all concubines, how far can they be apart?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the Rose Garden's bedroom opened, and the moonlight made King Yan's face look particularly cold and handsome.

King Yan said, "Let's go to Fangfei Garden."

Fugui thought to himself that this was indeed the case, and quickly led the way with the guards to Fangfei Garden next door.

Fang'er and Cui'er were stunned.

Prince Yan had only stayed in the Rose Garden for less than half a cup of tea, so how could he just leave like that?

As soon as Prince Yan left, the sound of a cup breaking was suddenly heard in the room.

Zhang Yue threw the celadon teacup on the table.

She originally thought that she would be able to sleep with the King of Yan smoothly tonight and gain the exclusive favor of the King of Yan. But she never expected that the King of Yan would not even want her to sleep with him and directly abandoned her.

Zhang Yue clenched her fists, her teeth almost bleeding with hatred: "Shen Wei! Shen Wei must be targeting me on purpose! She deliberately snatched the prince away to make me fall out of favor!"

He was filled with hatred and resentment.

...

The Prince of Yan would not give face to a concubine. He would come and go as he pleased, always doing as he pleased.

No one could accuse him of doing what he wanted.

King Yan walked into Fangfei Garden.

The yard was full of white gardenias and pretty crape myrtles, and the garden was full of life. When King Yan saw the thriving seedlings, he couldn't help but feel a sense of closeness.

It's like coming home.

Prince Yan did not disturb Shen Wei. He was also curious about how his Weiwei spent the nights alone when he did not come to Fangfei Garden.

The lights in the bedroom were still on, the candlelight was gentle and bright, and there was a faint scent of wormwood and gardenia in the room. Shen Wei sat on the table, holding a thin wolf-hair brush in her hand, a strand of black hair falling from her forehead, and she was concentrating on practicing calligraphy.

Shen Wei's eyes were red and she occasionally wiped her eyes with her hands, as if she had just cried.

Prince Yan was shocked.

It turned out that on the night without the prince's company, his Vivi was actually crying silently alone.

King Yan automatically imagined: [She is just a weak and pitiful woman who cannot get everything from her husband. She has to watch her husband favor other concubines. Shen Wei dare not be jealous and can only hide in the room and cry secretly.]

"Are you still practicing calligraphy?" King Yan asked with a smile.

Shen Wei lost control of the brush in her hand and it fell onto the rice paper, leaving a bright black ink mark on the calligraphy she had just written.

Shen Wei's eyes were still red, and the corners of her pink lips were parted, as if she had not expected King Yan's sudden arrival.

Then Shen Wei threw down her brush in surprise and ran over: "My Lord, you are back!"

Prince Yan hugged her slender waist and hooked her nose with his fingers: "If I'm not here, will Weiwei still cry secretly?"

Shen Wei shook her head and denied: "I didn't cry, Your Majesty, you saw it wrong."

She really didn't cry.

She didn't care who the King of Yan slept with. Her eyes were red because she accidentally poked her eyes with the tip of the brush when she was practicing calligraphy.

She rubbed her eyes a few times and they turned red.

"You're just being stubborn." King Yan couldn't help but shake his head. Even with her eyes so red, she was still pretending to be strong.

Prince Yan walked to the desk and checked Shen Wei's calligraphy practice. Shen Wei was still writing "Spring Banquet". She had already written three pages, but her handwriting was still crooked and ugly.

King Yan looked at Shen Wei's beautiful face, then at the ugly words, and sighed quietly: "Come, I will teach you to write again."

The candlelight was gentle. Prince Yan let Shen Wei sit in his arms. He held Shen Wei's fair and tender hand and taught her to write stroke by stroke.

I wrote on the bed...

Shen Wei took off all her clothes and shyly hid in the bed, with a shy and frightened look in her eyes: "My handwriting is not good, please don't punish me, Your Majesty."

Prince Yan’s Adam’s apple rolled.

For some reason, he suddenly felt that he was no longer a prince, but Shen Wei's tutor, and Shen Wei was his student.

Seeing Shen Wei's shy and timid eyes, Prince Yan pinched her fair chin and said fiercely, "I have taught you several times, but you still haven't written it well. You should be punished."

Then the punishment lasted until late at night.

King Yan felt that the aftertaste was endless and he was extremely happy. He changed his identity and made love with Shen Wei, but he still felt such an intoxicating pleasure.

As an ancient man, King Yan certainly didn't know that this behavior was called role-playing.

The two of them made a fuss until late at night, and called for water several times before finally falling asleep. The next day, King Yan went to court, and Shen Wei rubbed her aching waist and began to run around Fangfei Garden in the morning.

As they were running, an uninvited guest broke into Fangfei Garden.

Zhang Yue walked in aggressively and said angrily, "Shen Wei, you are so shameless! The prince clearly stayed at my place last night, and you actually seduced the prince to come to your shabby yard!"

Zhang Yue was filled with anger.

Only after Prince Yan left this morning did Zhang Yue dare to come and settle the score with Shen Wei.

Shen Wei stopped jogging, took the towel handed to her by Cai Ping and wiped her sweat, then said slowly: "The prince's legs are on his body, he can go wherever he wants. If you feel dissatisfied, just go to the prince and tell him in person."

Zhang Yue choked.

As an ordinary concubine, how could she have the courage to go to King Yan to make trouble? Zhang Yue stared at the red marks on Shen Wei's neck and snorted coldly: "I will go to the princess to complain and see how the princess punishes you!"

Zhang Yue turned and left.

Shen Wei didn't care and continued jogging to exercise.

"Master, what should we do if the princess believes the slander and is punished?" Cai Lian was a little worried.

Shen Wei said calmly, "The princess will not pay attention to the concubine's clumsy tactics of competing for favor."

The more domineering Shen Wei was, the less the princess would take her seriously.

As expected, Zhang Yue went to the princess crying to complain, but the princess was in no mood to care.

The princess sat on the main seat, rubbing her brows tiredly: "No one can interfere with who the prince favors."

Zhang Yue shed tears: "But the prince's heart is tied to that vixen Shen Wei."

Seeing her crying, the princess felt annoyed and said unhappily, "What's the point of crying? You might as well think about how to get the prince to go to your Rose Garden. Madam Liu, send Zhang Yue out."

Zhang Yue left the princess's yard crying.

After Madam Liu returned, the princess put down her teacup and told Madam Liu: "This moon is really useless. You should arrange for a new person to come in after a while. There has been no child born in the Prince of Yan's Mansion for two years. My mother is very dissatisfied with me."

The princess was very anxious.

Although Shen Wei was favored, the King of Yan gave her contraceptive soup; Zhang Yue was beautiful, but unfortunately she had no brains; the other concubines in the harem were all lazy and there was no sign of pregnancy.

The fact that no child was born in the Prince of Yan's Mansion was the fault of the Princess. If this continued, the Queen would definitely be dissatisfied with the Princess.

Madam Liu comforted the princess: "Princess, please be at ease. I have already picked a girl. She was born in Jiangnan and is already on her way to Yanjing."

The princess sighed.

She stood up and took Nanny Liu to the study to supervise the two children's homework.

...

Zhang Yue returned to the Rose Garden and racked her brains to think of ways to win the favor of the King. She took her maid out every day and pretended to "accidentally meet" the King of Yan in the garden.

Zhang Yue was lucky enough to finally gain the favor of King Yan again ten days later.

King Yan stayed in the Rose Garden that night.

Zhang Yue trembled with fear and served the King of Yan awkwardly. But she never expected that the King of Yan was so strong...

When Zhang Yue was a maid, she was malnourished and skinny. Later, she was beaten with a stick and spent a month recovering from the injury, becoming even thinner. The King of Yan just gently pinched her waist, and Zhang Yue's face was almost deformed in pain.

After just one round of sex, Zhang Yue fainted.

The Prince of Yan looked at the unconscious Zhang Yue and lost interest. The maid brought hot water into the room, and after the Prince of Yan bathed and changed his clothes, he could stay in the Rose Garden according to custom.

But when Prince Yan looked at the old and yellowed wooden bed, the not-so-new red quilt on the bed, and the half-dead woman on the bed, he suddenly felt it was an eyesore.

He prefers living with Shen Wei.

In Shen Wei's bedroom, there were always fresh flowers on the desk, the bedding on the bed was clean, fragrant and soft, and even the pillows were soft and moderate. Every time he slept on Shen Wei's bed, the King of Yan always slept well and was full of energy to handle official business the next day.

As summer approaches, there are more and more mosquitoes. Even the princess' room has mosquitoes. Only Shen Wei's room has no mosquitoes, only the refreshing scent of wormwood.

"Boring." King Yan left the Rose Garden and planned to go to Fangfei Garden to find Shen Wei.

Eunuchs and guards walked at night with lanterns.

Shen Wei greeted Prince Yan at the entrance of Fangfei Garden. The moonlight was soft and her face was pale. Prince Yan stepped forward and held her hand: "Are you still feeling unwell?"

Shen Wei's pretty face flushed, and she lowered her head shyly: "It's all the prince's fault..."

It turned out that Prince Yan stayed at Fangfei Garden last night and was intimate with Shen Wei until late at night. In his excitement, he accidentally injured Shen Wei's leg.

Prince Yan felt pity for Shen Wei and personally lit a lamp to apply anti-swelling medicine to her. Shen Wei's pretty face turned as red as a rose... Prince Yan looked at her rosy face, which was extremely beautiful and truly captivating.

Prince Yan couldn't help himself and took her several more times.

As a result, Shen Wei's wound became more and more swollen...

"Prince, please let me go tonight and let me have a good rest." Shen Wei rubbed her aching waist and looked at Prince Yan with a reproachful look.

King Yan looked at her beautiful face and felt pity for her: "I will only accompany you tonight and will not do anything else."

Shen Wei pursed her red lips: "The prince said the same thing last night, but in the end... humph."
