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

Seeing Shen Wei taking the detoxifying medicine, Li Yuanjing couldn't help but think of the chronic poison she had been infected with.

The queen was vicious and bribed the imperial physician to increase the amount of medicinal materials in Shen Wei's contraceptive soup. If it had not been discovered in time, Shen Wei would probably have died soon.

Not only Shen Wei was harmed, but the Queen Mother and Le You almost fell victim as well.

The Queen represents the Tan Tai family.

Li Yuanjing fell into a brief silence.

And inside the Qinghua Palace, Tan Tai Yin Xue, dressed in elegant purple, was still waiting.

She was a lady that her family had cultivated since she was young. She was both beautiful and talented, and she was well-versed in poetry and literature. The concubines in the palace were like fading flowers, aging and losing their beauty. Tan Tai Yin Xue had an absolute age advantage.

The queen is useless, and Tan Tai Yin Xue is ambitious.

She would never be as dull and stupid as Tan Tai Shu Ya and dig her own grave. Tan Tai Yin Xue planned to adopt the Queen's children, give birth to her own prince, and ascend the throne of Queen with the help of the Tan Tai family.

She wants to be the new mother of the nation!

Tantai Yinxue secretly thought that with her noble birth, the emperor would definitely make her a noble lady. If she was lucky, she might even be made a concubine and sleep with him tonight.

The Qinghua Hall was quiet and everyone was waiting for the emperor's reward.

Lu Yun, who was sitting at the noble lady's table, silently clutched the handkerchief in her hand, feeling a sense of crisis. In Lu Yun's dream, after the Queen Tan Tai Shu Ya passed away, the Tan Tai family sent Tan Tai Yin Xue into the palace.

Tan Tai Yin Xue was favored for a while, but later the Tan Tai family angered the emperor, the direct line was exterminated, and the side branches were exiled to a bitter cold place. Tan Tai Yin Xue was also banished to the cold palace and died of depression, without causing much splash in the harem.

"Strange, the future is different from the one in my dream." Lu Yun muttered to herself.

At this time, the emperor behind the pearl curtain spoke slowly in a deep voice: "As expected of the daughter of the Tantai family, she is an excellent zither player and very beautiful. She wears a purple skirt, like a blooming crape myrtle."

Tan Tai Yin Xue's cheeks flushed and her heart was beating fast.

Although she had a family mission to fulfill, Tan Tai Yin Xue was still moved when she saw such a young and handsome emperor.

It would be a blessing if you could be the only one favored by the emperor.

The emperor on the throne spoke slowly, "There are many crape myrtles planted in Huayang Palace. I will make you a concubine and let you live in Huayang Palace."

When these words were spoken, everyone at the table was shocked.

Especially the confident Tan Tai Yin Xue, her beautiful eyes widened. She thought the emperor would at least make her a noble lady, but in the end, he only made her a low-ranking concubine.

According to the concubine system of the Qing Kingdom formulated by the Ministry of Rites, the ranks of concubines from high to low are: Empress, Imperial Concubine, Consort, Imperial Concubine, Honored Lady, Imperial Concubine, and Beauty.

Li Yuanjing only appointed Tan Tai Yin Xue as a concubine, without giving her a separate palace, and she had to live in Lan Bin's Huayang Palace.

Tan Tai Yin Xue almost lost control, tears of grievance welled up in her eyes. It was the old lady Tan Tai who stepped forward, firmly grasped Tan Tai Yin Xue's hand, and reminded her: "Why don't you kowtow to express your gratitude?"

Old Madam Tan Tai sighed in her heart.

The emperor was still angry at the queen, and even had a grudge against the Tantai family. But it didn't matter, time would wear away everything, and the emperor's anger would sooner or later disappear over time.

As long as Tan Tai Yin Xue is favored and gives birth to a prince, the family will be able to continue to prosper.

Tan Tai Yin Xue was not stupid, and she quickly understood what Madam Tan Tai was thinking. As long as she entered the palace, she would have the hope of being favored.

She was very beautiful, and had learned many secret techniques from an experienced old maid. As long as the emperor got into her bed, she would have her own charming tricks to keep his heart.

So, Tan Tai Yin Xue kowtowed to express her gratitude, without any reluctance on her face, and her eyes looking at the emperor were still full of admiration.

After being conferred the title, Tan Tai Yin Xue followed the eunuchs from the Imperial Household Department and left Qing Hua Palace to prepare to enter the palace.

Concubine Lan is the principal of Huayang Palace, and she is the master of the palace.

"If you live in my territory, I will never let you make any waves." Lanpin secretly clenched the handkerchief in her hand. If Tan Tai Yinxue entered her territory, he would forget about having a good life.

After the interlude, the actors from the vocal troupe began their singing and dancing performance, and the orchestral music started, and the atmosphere became lively again.

Li Yuanjing held the wine glass and glanced at Shen Wei who was nearby. Shen Wei had finished drinking the detoxifying medicine and was holding a candied date to relieve the bitterness, her dark eyes looking around.

Through the beaded curtain, Li Yuanjing and Shen Wei's eyes accidentally met.

Li Yuanjing raised his eyebrows slightly and indicated with his eyes: I only made her a concubine, are you happy?

Shen Wei touched her nose guiltily, pretending not to know what Li Yuanjing was hinting at. She lowered her head uncomfortably, but the corners of her pink lips secretly raised.

Li Yuanjing looked at Shen Wei's guilty look, like a little white cat caught doing something bad, very cute.

Li Yuanjing was so smart that he could certainly see Shen Wei's intention - she deliberately drank the detoxifying soup in front of him to remind him not to forget the past. Her acting was really poor.

But Li Yuanjing was secretly happy in his heart. A beautiful newcomer appeared, and his Weiwei was actually jealous.

Being jealous means that he is in your heart.

Li Yuanjing really likes Shen Wei's jealous and petty look, which is very interesting and attractive.

Shen Wei continued to drink her tea with a "guilty conscience", and gave herself full marks for her acting skills in her heart - playing the role of a concubine who was "jealous and scheming, and was discovered by the emperor" was very difficult, but very effective.

As time passed, the Queen Mother's birthday banquet was drawing to a close. A minister came to report on the progress of the flood in the south, and Li Yuanjing left the table early to go to Chang'an Palace to listen to the report.

After the emperor left, the banquet was about to end.

Lu Xuan, who had been keeping a low profile at the banquet, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The news of her pregnancy could not be announced at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. With the ambitious newcomer Tan Tai Yin Xue in the palace and the Concubine Chen eyeing her covetously, she had to be cautious.

At this time, Concubine Zhang Miaoyu suddenly touched her belly and complained that her stomach hurt.

"Empress Dowager! I have a stomachache and can hardly move...Please ask the imperial physician to take my pulse." Zhang Miaoyu pleaded weakly.

During the royal banquet, there were imperial doctors on duty at the entrance of the palace where the banquet was held. If any of the nobles suddenly fell ill, the imperial doctors could directly enter the palace to provide emergency treatment.

The Queen Mother nodded, and the old nanny went outside the palace to get an imperial physician to come in.

It was Doctor Mo Xunmo.

Mo Xun, wearing a green robe of an imperial physician and a jade-head hat, did not approach Zhang Miaoyu. Instead, he stood three feet away and quickly looked at Zhang Miaoyu's face and fingers.

After looking at it for a few times, Mo Xun bowed and said, "Please ask the girl beside the queen to move her hands and press the edge of the index finger of the concubine's left hand, from the fingertips to the base of the thumb, and press ten times in a circle."

Zhang Miaoyu's personal maid did as she was told.

In less than half a cup of tea, Zhang Miaoyu's lower abdomen pain was gone. Zhang Miaoyu was surprised: "You, the imperial physician, are so amazing! You didn't even feel my pulse, but only observed my expression and you were able to cure my illness!"

Not only Zhang Miaoyu was surprised, but the other women present also looked at her curiously.

Mo Xun cleared his throat and bowed respectfully to the Queen Mother who was sitting in the main seat: "My Lord, my Lord, I have been studying medicine since I was one year old and my medical skills are superb. I can diagnose minor illnesses by looking at the face and major illnesses by taking the pulse without taking the pulse."

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes full of meaning.

Shen Wei looked surprised, as if she had never seen such a magical thing before, and asked excitedly: "Really?"
