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

Li Yuanjing felt satisfied.

I still remember that back then in Prince Yan's Mansion, Shen Wei was still a pure white sheet of paper, she didn't know how to scheme, didn't understand the inner house struggles, she only knew how to love him foolishly.

Later, Shen Wei followed him for a long time. Under Li Yuanjing's teaching, Shen Wei also learned how to protect herself. The flowers he cultivated with his own hands are slowly blooming.

"That won't work. I also have to use a trick on the emperor." Shen Wei smiled.

Li Yuanjing raised his eyebrows, and asked with great interest: "What's the plan?"

Shen Wei's slender white fingers grabbed Li Yuanjing's belt, and her tone was proud and playful: "Beauty trap."

The candlelight shines through the thin gauze bed curtains, and the beauty under the lamp looks like a painting.

Shen Wei's eyes were slightly raised, her lips were rosy, and her light-colored nightgown had fallen off her shoulders, revealing her round, white shoulders. Her skin was as white as jade, with a faint fragrance, and she was charming and affectionate.

Very tempting.

Li Yuanjing's throat tightened and his voice became as soft as sand: "Then I am willing to fall into the trap."

The evening breeze blew, the pink lotus buds that had just emerged in the yard swayed to this and that, and the carp in the pond jumped out of the water. The night was still long.

...

The next day, just after dawn, Shen Wei was still sleeping soundly in bed. Li Yuanjing put on his clothes, stood by the bed and watched Shen Wei sleeping for a while, feeling infinitely satisfied physically and mentally.

He left the bedroom quietly.

The palace servants brought breakfast, and after Li Yuanjing had his meal, he first took a stroll in the vegetable garden. The eggplants he had planted had already borne fruit, the tomatoes were big and red, and a few cucumbers had grown.

Li Yuanjing planned to plant some more radishes in the future. Leyou really liked drinking sweet radish soup.

Li Yuanjing went to the morning court, and Shen Wei slept for half an hour, then got up slowly and dressed. As she changed her clothes, she thought that it was not enough to gain merit from the queen, and if she wanted to spread her reputation, she had to start with the ladies of Yanjing.

Next, Shen Wei started her plan.

Shen Wei did not deliberately try to win over the women of the major families;

Shen Wei intended to win over the women of the poor officials, civil officials and military officers. Under the banner of the empress dowager, Shen Wei occasionally held banquets for the women, where they would chat about family matters, share beauty tips, and cook wine and drink tea.

In addition, Shen Wei took over Princess Zhaoyang's previous charity work and continued to adopt orphans in Anguo Temple. Children with learning talents were taught by teachers; children who were not good at learning were sent to various shops as apprentices by Shopkeeper Ye.

If a disaster occurred in a county in Qing Kingdom, Shen Wei would take the lead in promoting frugality in the palace, and the money saved in the palace would be sent to the disaster area.

After a series of operations, big and small, Shen Wei's reputation among the people has been improving.

...

Nanchu Palace.

The former King Heng of Daqing has transformed himself into Li Yuanli, the new emperor of Southern Chu. In the imperial garden, clusters of roses are in full bloom, and Li Yuanli casually throws the letter of credence in his hand into the pond.

pat-

The letter sent from the Kingdom of Donglin hit the pond, creating a clear splash of water.

"You are a small country with no credibility." Li Yuanli sat in the pavilion, drinking tea lazily. A fat white fox curled up at Li Yuanli's feet, with its claws folded, sleeping soundly.

The official who brought the letter lowered his head in fear, not daring to breathe.

Originally, Nanchu planned to cooperate with Donglin Kingdom in military training and jointly attack the cities in the south of Daqing.

However, the Donglin Kingdom went back on its word and submitted a letter of separation to Nanchu, claiming that it was under coercion from Daqing and did not dare to cooperate with Nanchu.

The Qing Kingdom spread the word that it would build dikes and dams on several branches of the upper reaches of the Mingyuan River.

Building dams and dikes was originally very difficult, but a hundred years ago, Princess Taihua invented a new dam-building method that reduced the difficulty of building dams and dikes, and the dams could also adjust the size of the water source. This method was widely used, and building dams and dikes was no longer a difficult task.

Donglin Kingdom never expected Qing Kingdom to come up with such a surprising move. Most of Donglin Kingdom's farmland irrigation depends on this river of life. If the river is short of water, the country will suffer a devastating disaster.

The Donglin Kingdom became obedient and served as a vassal state, no longer daring to cause trouble.

In the pavilion of the Imperial Garden, Li Yuanli held a white jade cup between his bony fingers and asked his ministers with a half-smile: "Which minister in Daqing came up with the bad idea of ​​building a dam across the river?"

Since he couldn't kill Li Yuanjing for the time being, he killed the minister who proposed to block the river.

The minister lowered his head, his voice trembling: "The informants in Yanjing said that it was the Eighth Prince of Daqing who came up with this bad idea."

Li Yuanli said "hmm" with a hint of doubt in his voice: "Eighth Prince?"

The minister continued to answer tremblingly: "The Eighth Prince is the son of Concubine Chen. Concubine Chen's brother is Shen Mieyue."

Li Yuanli took a breath and Shen Wei's cunning and beautiful face appeared in front of him.

Like mother like son!

Shen Wei is cunning, and her son is also full of bad intentions.

The minister said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the spies in Yanjing are ready. As long as you issue an order, the Eighth Prince will be killed within ten days."

Li Yuanli put down the teacup: "No need, the child is still young."

The ministers were stunned.

Your Majesty, the ruthless and ruthless emperor, actually showed compassion for a child today?

Li Yuanli spoke slowly, as if talking to himself: "That woman is smart, and her son is hard to kill."

As the wind blew, clusters of roses in the imperial garden swayed in the wind, and their red petals spread out.

Li Yuanli stood up and kicked the fox that was sleeping soundly at his feet to wake him up. The fat fox was forced to wake up from its sweet dream, bared its teeth, and pounced on Li Yuanli's golden jade boots.

There were shallow bite marks on the edges of the boots.

The ministers' eyelids twitched. The new emperor of Southern Chu was ruthless, ascended the throne through a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, and was cruel and bloodthirsty. But he happened to raise a white fox with a bad temper.

Li Yuanli stretched and said, "Since we can't fight a war, we can only seek peace."

He hadn't been back to Yanjing for a long time and was a little homesick. He had to find a suitable time to go back to Yanjing to visit his good second brother Li Yuanjing.

Take a look at the customs and beauties of your hometown.

...

Time passed quietly, and Shen Wei was still working tirelessly to accumulate merits and build a good reputation for herself.

It was August and the weather was hot, but there was enough ice in the Guangwen Pavilion so it was still quite cool inside.

The class was over. Yang Xuanji was sitting at his desk, reading a book; Li Chengtai was sitting at a small rosewood table, practicing calligraphy stroke by stroke; Li Chengyou was lying on his back on a mat, sleeping soundly.

"Dr. Yang, the Empress Chen is here to visit the two little princes." An official from Guangwenguan reminded.

Yang Xuanji put down the book in his hand. Li Chengtai put down the pen in his hand and kicked his brother who was sleeping beside him to wake him up.

Shen Wei brought Cai Ping into the pavilion. She said with a smile, "It's hot today. I brought some watermelons here for you all to try."

Li Chengyou rubbed his sleepy eyes and got up: "Thank you, mother! I love eating watermelon the most!"

Li Chengyou ran over happily.

Caiping opened the food box, and inside was a chilled watermelon. Caiping placed the watermelon on the small table and cut it into pieces. Li Chengyou picked up the largest piece of watermelon and said attentively, "Mother, you eat first."

Shen Wei shook her head: "I've already eaten."

Li Chengyou turned around and handed the largest piece of watermelon to Yang Xuanji: "Sir, have it."

After handing the watermelon to Yang Xuanji, Li Chengyou returned to take his own piece of watermelon. Li Chengtai tilted his head, very dissatisfied with his brother's behavior: "Chengyou, why don't you give it to me?"

Li Chengyou buried his head in eating watermelon and groaned, "I don't dare to take it from you, take it yourself."

It was a hot summer day, and the chilled watermelon was especially sweet. Lee Seung-woo's face was covered with watermelon juice.

Li Chengtai didn't like watermelon very much and only ate a small piece.

He glanced casually and saw that Shen Wei's right hand looked strange, as if it was injured and was bandaged with white cotton cloth.

Li Chengtai exclaimed: "Mother, what happened to your hand?"
