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

The queen has always attached great importance to her son's studies.

Two years ago, the Queen issued several imperial decrees, asking Yang Xuanji to be Li Chengzhen's teacher. Yang Xuanji was forced to enter the palace. He tested Li Chengzhen and shook his head regretfully, indicating that he would not accept mediocre people.

The queen was furious and wanted to severely punish Yang Xuanji.

When the emperor Li Yuanjing heard about this, he sent someone to send the old man with a strange temper out of the palace without punishing him. After all, people with real talent and knowledge often have strange tempers.

Now, hearing that Mr. Yang Xuanji was going to the palace again to examine the young Li Chengtai, Li Chengzhen's face was full of gloating.

"Second brother, don't be so confident. Maybe Yang Xuanji will accept my brother as his student." Li Chengyou always trusted his brother.

Li Chengzhen snorted coldly, not taking Li Chengtai seriously at all: "Don't cry when the time comes."

After saying that, he turned around and continued practicing archery.

...

...

On the other side, after leaving the training ground, Tan Tai Yin Xue took a slow walk in the Imperial Garden. The crabapple blossoms in the Imperial Garden were as brilliant as clouds, but Tan Tai Yin Xue had no intention of appreciating them.

Her mind was full of thoughts about how to sleep with the emperor and how to gain favor.

"Master, you don't have to worry too much. The emperor hasn't summoned his concubines these days. It must be because he is troubled by state affairs." The palace maid beside him whispered to comfort him.

Tantai Yinxue frowned slightly, "Do you know what state affairs have distracted the emperor?"

The maid looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping, then whispered, "There's news from home that a new emperor of Southern Chu ascended the throne a few days ago. The new emperor is none other than Li Yuanli, Prince Heng. I heard that the late Concubine Qian was of Southern Chu royal bloodline, and I don't know what tricks Li Yuanli used to keep the Southern Chu royal family in line and successfully ascend the throne."

Tan Tai Yin Xue was stunned.

Prince Heng actually became the new emperor of Southern Chu!

A few years ago, the two kings of Daqing fought for the throne and the battle was fierce. Finally, Prince of Yan Li Yuanjing ascended the throne, and Prince of Heng Li Yuanli fled south to Southern Chu. But the feud between the two was completely settled.

The maid continued, "After the new emperor of Nanchu ascended the throne, he wrote a letter two days ago and sent someone to deliver it to the emperor's desk. I think the emperor is angry about the letter."

Tantai Yinxue seemed to be thinking about something, and after a while he said, "Well, I'll wait a few more days."

She is beautiful, and the emperor will summon her to sleep with him sooner or later.

It was hot outside, so Tan Tai Yin Xue did not stay in the Imperial Garden for too long and returned to Huayang Palace with the palace maids.

...

The news that Prince Heng Li Yuanli ascended the throne also reached Shen Wei's ears.

It was already dark, and the moonlight enveloped Yongning Palace. Shen Wei finished her bath, with wet hair, and leaned on the couch to look through the old accounts in the palace. When she learned that King Heng had ascended the throne, she almost threw the account book to the ground.

King Heng became the emperor of Southern Chu?

Shen Wei clutched the account book. It had been so long since she had seen it that she almost forgot what King Heng looked like. After thinking about it carefully for a while, the handsome and coquettish face slowly emerged in her mind.

Prince Heng, who looks like a dandy and unruly boy, actually has such incredible abilities.

Shen Wei was worried.

Prince Heng and Li Yuanjing were mortal enemies, and perhaps Southern Chu would go to war with Daqing in the future. Fortunately, Li Yuanjing worked hard to govern the country, held military power, and had many strong soldiers and generals under his command.

If the two countries really fight, Qing will not be at a disadvantage.

Forget it, let Emperor Li Yuanjing worry about the complicated state affairs. Shen Wei put aside the worries in her mind. The most important thing at the moment was to manage the harem well and use the power of the harem to expand her business territory.

Even if the sky falls, Li Yuanjing will hold it up.

If Li Yuanjing can't hold on, Shen Wei has legs and can run by herself.

"Master, please dry your hair first." Cai Lian took out a handkerchief and wiped Shen Wei's hair.

Shen Wei put down the account book in her hand and said: "Tomorrow Yang Xuanji will come to the palace to assess Chengtai. Find someone to keep an eye on his movements and notify me as soon as there is any news."

Cai Lian nodded happily: "Master, don't worry, the Eighth Prince is very smart and will definitely win the favor of Doctor Yang Xuanji."

Shen Wei smiled and said, "Do your best and leave the rest to fate. If Yang Xuanji doesn't want to accept me as a disciple, I will find a new master for Chengtai."

The night was slightly cool, Shen Wei's wet hair had been dried, and she was ready to go to sleep. Without the emperor's disturbance, she slept well these days.

Five days ago, Shen Wei had used all her strength and almost lost half her life to gain five days of peace. If Li Yuanjing was a juicy grape, he would have become a raisin that night and would not be able to recover his original moisture in the short term.

There were rustling footsteps outside the house, and Cai Ping ran in to report: "Master, the emperor went to Changxin Palace tonight."

Shen Wei was not surprised.

Since Lu Xuan was pregnant with the royal heir, it was reasonable for Li Yuanjing to visit and accompany her.

Shen Wei stretched, yawned, and fell on the soft bed. She closed her eyes and quickly fell into a sweet dream.

...

Shen Wei fell asleep happily, and the lights in Lu Xuan's Changxin Palace were bright.

Lu Xuan stood at the gate of the palace wall, wearing a soft apricot dress, standing in the night breeze. With a bright smile on her lips, she happily welcomed Li Yuanjing into the palace.

Ever since the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, when Lu Xuan's power over the harem was taken away, she has been feeling upset.

Li Yuanjing only visited her twice during the day and never stayed overnight, which made Lu Xuan very sad. But when she thought that the emperor did not stay overnight in Yongning Palace, she felt much better.

As night fell, the moonlight shone brightly. The newly transplanted crabapple trees in Changxin Palace were growing well, with heavy pink buds weighing down the branches.

When Li Yuanjing saw the crabapple blossoms in the yard, he thought of Shen Wei.

The night before five days ago, the two of them were playing so hard that the vase on the table fell and broke, and the newly picked red crabapple flowers in the vase fell all over the floor. Shen Wei lay softly on him, her face was red, and the crabapple flowers were also red, reflecting each other, making people's hearts surge.

Whenever Li Yuanjing recalled that scene, his throat would always tighten, but unfortunately his waist was still sore, so he could only stop and take a break.

Lu Xuan followed Li Yuanjing's line of sight and saw the crabapple trees in the yard: "When the crabapple trees are in bloom, I transplanted a few of them. Does the emperor like them?"

Li Yuanjing nodded: "It looks good."

Lu Xuan was very pleased with herself, it seemed that her method of transplanting the crabapple trees was correct.

The palace lanterns were bright, and Lu Xuan led Li Yuanjing into the house to rest. The palace servants served tea and water in an orderly manner. Soon, the lights in the inner courtyard of Changxin Palace went out, and it was quiet all around. The imperial city fell into sleep.

...

The next morning, at daybreak, an inconspicuous carriage stopped at the palace gate. The curtain was opened, and the servant helped the white-haired Yang Xuanji get off the carriage.

The cool breeze in the early morning made Yang Xuanji's beard sway slightly.

The servant hurriedly presented the cloak in the carriage: "Master, the lady said that the wind was strong in the morning, so she specially prepared the cloak."

The servant tied a cloak on Yang Xuanji.

The servant added cleverly, "Madam said that the Eighth Prince is the nephew of Lord Shen Xiuming. Shen Xiuming is your favorite disciple. Every year he sends you and Madam bacon, cotton cloth, and fruits. Madam said that for the sake of Lord Shen, you should be more patient with the Eighth Prince and not be too strict."

He stroked his beard and said, "I want to see how capable the Eighth Prince is. It is precisely because he is Xiuming's nephew that I want to test him strictly."

Yang Xuanji was angry.

The eighth prince, Li Chengtai, was still young. How many books could he read? How many words could he recognize? Yang Xuanji, a well-read doctor, felt aggrieved to teach such a young boy.

The servant handed the ID card to the imperial guards at the palace gate.

Yang Xuanji led the servant into the palace gate. After entering the first palace gate, the servant beside him suddenly reminded him in a low voice: "Master, please look ahead."
