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

Le You smiled sweetly, her voice soft, "Grandmother said there were bugs in the herbs, so they can't be drunk. Don't worry, mother, I've vomited it all out."

Shen Wei smiled and hugged the child.

Not far away, Li Wan'er saw this scene, and envy appeared in her eyes. When her mother was alive, she also hugged her and cared for her like this every day.

Unfortunately, my mother has passed away.

No one hugged her anymore.

"Wan'er has just moved to the Cining Palace. Leyou, go to the warehouse and pick out some soft pillows and bring them to Wan'er's room." Shen Wei patted Leyou's little shoulder.

Le You nodded obediently: "Okay, I'll go right away."

Le You ran to the storehouse quickly, and the two palace maids who served her quickly caught up with her.

Shen Wei stood up and looked at Li Wan'er who was not far away. Shen Wei smiled and said, "Summer is coming and the weather is getting hotter. I have a white jade mat in my room. I will send it to your room so that you can sleep cool in the summer."

Li Wan'er bowed quickly and said softly, "Thank you, Madam Chen."

Shen Wei walked into Li Wan'er's room. There were many empty rooms in the Cining Palace, and after the west room was cleaned, many of Li Wan'er's daily necessities were placed in it.

The house is tidy, simple and clean.

As Shen Wei walked to the tea table, Li Wan'er behind her suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Shen Wei: "Wan'er thanks Madam Chen for saving my life."

Shen Wei was quite surprised.

She helped Li Wan'er up: "When did I save you?"

Li Wan'er pursed her lips slightly, tears welling up in her eyes: "Madame Liu said that when the time comes, I can escape from the sea of ​​suffering. After thinking carefully about what happened today, Wan'er guessed that it was Empress Chen who helped me secretly."

Shen Wei showed appreciation: "What a smart girl."

As expected of the daughter of the late prince, she has extraordinary vision and insight, and is very good at judging people.

Shen Wei pulled Li Wan'er to sit down. She smiled slightly and said, "I won't hide it from you. I am helping you, but I am also using you."

She wanted to seize the power to manage the harem from the Queen, so she took advantage of Li Wan'er's predicament.

Shen Wei was poisoned, the Queen Mother and Le You were almost poisoned, and Li Wan'er was treated harshly by the Queen. All these bad consequences combined completely overwhelmed the Queen and made it impossible for her to turn things around.

"I know." Li Wan'er showed a gentle smile, "But you still helped me. Wan'er is very grateful."

Shen Wei saw that she was smart and insightful, and couldn't help but like her. Shen Wei said calmly: "Wan'er, I can help you once, but life is long, you can't always expect someone to help you. You are smart, but your temper is really weak."

Li Wan'er lowered her head.

She knew she was weak and always complained about herself.

Shen Wei said earnestly: "You should create your own life. The life given to you by others is definitely not a good thing."

Li Wan'er clutched the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, and ripples began to appear in her heart, which was as stagnant as stagnant water.

When her mother was still alive, she told her more than once to be brave and self-reliant.

Li Wan'er's nose was sour and she nodded with tears in her eyes: "I understand."

Shen Wei didn't stay too long because Nanny Qian came and said that the Queen Mother wanted to see her.

Shen Wei got up and left. She had already given Li Wan'er life advice. How much the little girl listened to it depended entirely on luck.

...

...

The atmosphere in the main hall of Cining Palace was low. Shen Wei walked in cautiously, holding the hem of her yellow skirt.

The Queen Mother sat in the main seat, her face no longer showing the kindness of the past.

The palace servants left one after another, leaving only Shen Wei and the Queen Mother in the palace.

Shen Wei's heart was beating fast. She called out softly, "Mother?"

The Queen Mother's face turned even colder. She slammed the table and said sternly, "Kneel down in front of me!"

Shen Wei knelt down quickly.

She knew that she had angered the Queen Mother this time, so she bribed Aunt Liu, who was close to the Queen, and then used Li Wan'er, the Queen Mother, and Le You to try to take away the right to manage the harem from the Queen.

The means were not very bright, and even a little dark. It was normal for the Queen Mother to be angry.

The Queen Mother asked, "Do you know where you went wrong?"

Shen Wei answered obediently: "My dear mother, I shouldn't have used you and Wan'er to expose the Queen's scandal. It has damaged the reputation of the royal family--"

Before Shen Wei could finish her words, the Queen Mother interrupted her angrily: "I'm not angry about this!"

Now it was Shen Wei's turn to be surprised. She looked bewildered: "Could it be that my mother was angry with me and almost caused Le You to be poisoned? I really didn't know about this."

How could Shen Wei have imagined that the Queen would be so bold as to poison the Queen Mother!

The Queen Mother rubbed her brows and sighed, her eyes showing pity and anger: "The contraceptive soup you drank contained a chronic poison, why didn't you tell me?"

Shen Wei was stunned.

I never expected that the Queen Mother would be angry about such a small matter.

Could it be that compared to Leyou and Wan'er, Shen Wei, an outsider with no blood relationship, occupies the most weight in the empress dowager's heart?

Shen Wei stuttered, unable to utter a word for a long while: "I...I...I'm fine. I'll be fine soon after drinking the detoxifying medicine."

The Queen Mother sighed, walked slowly to Shen Wei, and helped her up: "In the future, if you want anything, just tell me directly, and I will plan it with you. Why do you have to go around in circles and hurt yourself?"

It was from Doctor Mo that the Queen Mother learned that Shen Wei had been poisoned by a chronic poison. Shen Wei kept silent and quietly set up a plan to counterattack the Queen.

Since meeting Shen Wei, the Queen Mother has noticed that this girl has an overly tough personality. Shen Wei looks gentle and sensible, and considerate of everything - but she is too hard on herself.

She doesn't know how to take care of her body and is always on guard against everyone.

Shen Wei was shocked.

She also didn't expect that the Queen Mother trusted her so much!

Shen Wei forced a smile: "Mother, I can't always rely on you for everything. I have to walk my own path and fight for what I want."

If life is too smooth, one will become lazy and underestimate the enemy.

The Queen Mother poked Shen Wei's forehead and said unhappily, "If Zhaoyang could have half of your character, I wouldn't be worried about her future every day. Go back to your Yongning Palace to take medicine. I will punish the Queen for you."

Shen Wei hugged the Queen Mother's arm obediently, with a gleam in her eyes: "Thank you, Mother!"

In the harem, only the emperor and the empress could address the queen mother as "mother queen". Other concubines could only address her politely as "queen mother".

But Shen Wei was an exception. When she was with the Queen Mother in private, she always called her "Mother" to get closer to her.

Shen Wei left happily.

The Queen Mother stood under the palace eaves, watching Shen Wei's slender back leave. The Queen Mother felt regretful. If she had known Shen Wei earlier, she would definitely marry Shen Wei to Li Yuanjing as his wife.

Shen Wei has strategy, a sense of the overall situation, management skills, the ability to capture her husband's heart, teach her children well, and is filial. She is simply the best candidate for the mother of the country.

It's a pity that good luck tricks people.

The Tan Tai family has a huge foundation and cannot be uprooted in the short term, so the position of queen has to be left to Tan Tai Shuya.

The Queen Mother was about to visit Le You, but out of the corner of her eye she spotted Li Chengtai hiding in the corner.

Li Chengtai was wearing a dark golden brocade robe with golden patterns on the sleeves and hem, and black-patterned boots. He looked like a smaller version of Li Yuanjing. However, Li Chengtai's eyes were filled with tears and his face was sad. It was unknown how long he had been here and how much he had heard.

The Queen Mother waved at him and said in a friendly manner, "Chengtai, why are you here?"

Li Chengtai's voice was choked with sobs, and his fists were clenched: "Grandmother, my mother was poisoned...but I can't do anything."
