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

Madam Tan Tai left the palace.

At the same time, Eunuch Deshun sent the seal for managing the harem to Yongning Palace. There were two seals in the harem, one with Concubine Lu Xuan and the other with Shen Wei.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent all the account books of the harem over.

Without Shen Wei's instructions, Cailian, Caiping and Rong Mama had already consciously planned their respective division of labor and took over the affairs of the harem in an orderly manner.

Shen Wei played with the small seal, which was carved from white jade and shaped like a phoenix spreading its wings. This small piece represented the highest power in the harem.

Shen Wei held her chin up and murmured to herself, "We have to find a way to get the piece from Concubine Shu."

There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and there is no reason for two people to cooperate in managing the harem. The power and wealth of the harem can only be firmly held in her hands.

The information Shen Wei found out showed that Lu Xuan was pregnant but had not announced it yet.

Since Lu Xuan is pregnant, and the fetus is unstable at the beginning of the pregnancy, she should focus on having an offspring instead of working hard to manage the harem.

Shen Wei thought for a moment and told Cai Ping: "Go and get Doctor Mo."

Cai Ping nodded briskly: "Okay, I'll go right away."

...

...

Changxin Palace.

The news that the queen was "seriously ill" came, and Lu Xuan was holding the account book of the harem in her hand, her beautiful willow-shaped eyebrows slightly frowned.

She originally thought that after the Queen's fall, the Emperor would let her take full charge of all matters in the harem.

As a result, the emperor helped Concubine Chen up again.

Lu Xuan secretly felt something was wrong, and she stroked her still flat belly with her slender hands.

Two months pregnant, the fetus is unstable.

Lu Xuan originally planned to announce the good news of her pregnancy at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, but Shen Wei suddenly took away half of the power in the harem. When Lu Xuan announced her pregnancy at this time, Shen Wei might take this opportunity to grab the other half of the power under the excuse of "the heir is the most important".

Lu Xuan fell into deep thought and secretly clenched her fingers: "No, we need to wait until the fetus is stable before announcing the pregnancy."

She couldn't give up the power in her palace.

Relying on the power in her hand, she gained a lot of benefits for the Lu family. If she lost the power in the palace, the family's interests would be damaged.

The Queen Mother's birthday banquet tomorrow must be low-key.

...

On the fifth day of May, the sky was just beginning to daybreak.

Today was a day off, so he didn't have to go to court. Li Yuanjing didn't get up yet. The morning light was dim outside the window, and he closed his eyes and took a lazy nap.

Shen Wei's bedroom was really comfortable, with soft pillows, bedding as fluffy as clouds, beautiful scented gauze curtains, and fresh flowers always on the small table beside the bed.

Li Yuanjing likes the comfortable and relaxed environment here, which makes people relax and wash away all fatigue.

Although he closed his eyes, he was not asleep. He was still conscious and vaguely aware of the bed moving. Shen Wei got up. Shen Wei moved lightly, put on her clothes and walked out of the bedroom.

"Master, you get up so early." Cai Lian whispered at the door.

Shen Wei pressed her index finger to the corner of her lips: "Shh, keep your voice down, don't disturb the emperor. Let's take a day off today, let the emperor sleep a little longer."

Cai Lian: "Master, you really care about the emperor."

Li Yuanjing was half asleep and half awake, his thin lips slightly raised.

I don’t know how long it took, but the voices of Li Chengtai, Li Chengyou and Leyou were heard outside the house.

Li Yuanjing was very sleepy and slowly opened his eyes. He lifted the bed curtain and saw the clear sunlight from the window had leaked into the room. The windows were bright and clean, and there was a faint fragrance in the room.

There was the sound of dishes colliding next door.

Li Yuanjing got out of bed and put on his clothes. He did not ask the palace maid to help him get dressed. He put on his clothes by himself and walked towards the next room.

It was already daybreak, the crabapple blossoms in the yard were in full bloom, the door of the house was wide open, Shen Wei and her three children were sitting at the table eating longevity noodles.

Today is the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, the Queen Mother's birthday, and also the birthdays of Lee Seung-tae and Lee Seung-woo. Lee Seung-woo has a big appetite, and he quickly finished a bowl and still felt it was not enough, so he raised the empty bowl and shouted, "Mother, I want another bowl."

Shen Wei smiled and patted his head: "We will have breakfast later, don't eat too much."

Li Chengyou smiled and said, "The longevity noodles cooked by mother are delicious. I only ate noodles this morning."

Shen Wei gave Cai Lian a look, and Cai Lian added a bowl of noodles to Li Chengyou and arranged it carefully.

The noodles cooked by Shen Wei didn't taste great, but they were creative. She pulled the dough into strips, put them into the pot and cooked them, then fried a few eggs, and carved words and patterns on the sliced ​​carrots.

Carve the words "Happy Birthday" on the carrot slices, carve out little rabbits and little tigers, and put them into the pot to cook.

Finally, scoop up the cooked noodles, put them in a bowl, add the soup to enhance the flavor, put eggs, "Happy Birthday" carrot words, small animal patterns, and boiled small green vegetables on top, and a bowl of beautiful and delicious noodles is ready.

The kids love to eat it.

"Mother, Leyou also needs to eat a bowl, with a little rabbit radish."

"Send a bowl to the Empress Dowager later. She will definitely like it."

"Mother, I want to eat the little tiger."

The house was filled with joy.

Li Yuanjing stood at the door, looking at the warm scene in the house, and his heart seemed to be brushed by a soft feather. At this moment, Shen Wei was not the imperial concubine, and the children were not princesses or princes. They were just like ordinary mothers and children in the world.

Peaceful and beautiful.

If he were not the emperor one day, he would also like to live such a peaceful and simple life with Shen Wei.

Le You was sharp-eyed and was the first to notice Li Yuanjing outside the house. She happily put down her bowl and ran over: "Father, do you want to eat rabbit longevity noodles? They are delicious. The little rabbit carved by mother is fat and round."

Li Yuanjing touched his daughter's soft hair and said, "Father wants to eat."

Li Yuanjing sat down and Cailian brought the cooked noodles.

Shen Wei's eyes curved, "Your Majesty, please try it. The greens are freshly picked from the vegetable garden. They are fresh and tender."

Shen Wei doesn't like growing vegetables now.

There are a lot of vegetables and fruits in the yard, all of which were planted by Li Yuanjing in his spare time.

Every time Shen Wei felt hungry, she would openly pick the radishes and vegetables planted by Li Yuanjing. Li Yuanjing turned a blind eye and pretended not to notice, and even felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart.

Finished the longevity noodles.

Le You asked the kitchen to make a bowl of delicious longevity noodles, which her personal maid brought and put into a food box. Le You quickly ran back to the Cining Palace and gave it to the Empress Dowager to try.

After Le You left, Li Yuanjing asked his two sons, "What gift do you want for your birthday?"

The two sons looked at each other.

Before Li Chengtai could speak, Li Chengyou beside him raised his chubby paw excitedly: "Father, I want a horse! I want to learn how to ride a horse!"

Li Yuanjing nodded: "Yes."

Li Chengyou jumped up happily: "Thank you, father, you are so kind!"

Li Yuanjing was very pleased with the child's straightforward admiration. He asked Li Chengtai in a good mood: "What do you want?"

Li Chengtai pursed his lips slightly, raised his little face that looked like Li Yuanjing, and said quietly: "I don't want anything, I just want my mother to be safe and sound."

Li Yuanjing: ...
