Don't be a salted fish, the daily life of the concubine in the palace
Chapter 262: Good Fame
Shen Wei told Li Chengtai: "I was accidentally scalded by the hot water. I applied medicine and it's fine now."
Cai Ping was indignant and muttered, "The Queen is really too much. The Queen is bedridden and the master often goes to visit her, but she actually knocked over the medicine bowl and scalded the master!"
Li Chengtai's eyes widened when he heard this.
Did the Queen deliberately burn her mother?
Shen Wei smiled bitterly, and glanced at Yang Xuanji not far away. She gently comforted Li Chengtai: "Don't worry, mother is fine."
Li Chengtai lowered his head, feeling angry.
My mother was so tolerant and generous that she went to visit the queen regardless of past grudges. But the queen was extremely vicious and deliberately burned my mother.
Li Chengtai was very angry, and when he saw his brother eating watermelon next to him, he became even more angry. His mother was bullied by the queen, and this stinky brother was still eating watermelon!
Eat, eat, eat. Just eat every day!
Li Chengtai snatched the watermelon from Li Chengyou's mouth and asked angrily, "Chengyou, did you memorize the poem that the teacher taught you today?"
Li Chengyou looked up blankly, with red watermelon juice on the corner of his mouth. He answered blankly: "No. Sir, you only need to understand the meaning, you don't need to recite it."
Li Chengtai was speechless.
Silly brother, you have no ambition at all!
There were many officials in Guangwen Hall who were responsible for compiling, writing books, and researching policy theories. These people gathered around one after another. It turned out that there was a gathering of civil servants in Guangwen Hall today, and they wanted to talk about the past and present with Yang Xuanji.
Shen Wei was not in a position to stay, so she said, "I will take the two children away first. Caiping, cut up the remaining half of the watermelon and give it to the adults to enjoy."
All the civil officials bowed and saw him off.
Watermelon is a fruit from the Western Regions that was introduced to Qing Kingdom in recent decades. It is very rare and can only be enjoyed by the royal family and dignitaries. The watermelon specially supplied to the royal family is of the highest quality and tastes the best.
The half watermelon that Shen Wei presented to the officials of Guangwen Hall was also very precious. After Shen Wei left with the two princes, everyone gathered around and carefully shared the watermelon.
On a hot summer day, a bite of crisp fruit will make you feel relaxed all over.
"The Empress Chen is very generous. Every time she comes to Guangwen Hall to pick up the two little princes, she will send some food. We should also take advantage of it."
"My wife is seriously ill and needs a rare medicinal herb. The Empress Chen happened to have it, so she sent someone to deliver it. My wife praises the Empress Chen's kindness every day."
"I was outside just now and heard that the Queen burned the Concubine Chen's hand?"
"Alas, the Concubine Chen has the virtues of a concubine, and the Queen is really... Recently, those treacherous ministers who are vassals of the Tantai family have submitted memorials to criticize the Concubine Chen for her immorality. They are really talking nonsense."
"Keep your voice down and don't talk nonsense."
The civil officials ate watermelon and talked about it.
Yang Xuanji put down the ancient book in his hand, stroked his beard, and his cloudy old eyes showed doubt: "I have resigned from office for a long time and no longer care about government affairs. I heard your discussion today. Is there anyone in the court attacking the Concubine Chen?"
Yang Xuanji was highly respected and had many students all over the world. Many of the civil officials present here were his students.
As soon as Yang Xuanji asked the question, someone immediately answered: "Teacher, you don't know that since the Queen became seriously ill, the Tantai family has always been targeting Concubine Chen and General Shen. A few days ago, that old man Li Guangzhong joined forces with a dozen ministers to report to the emperor, criticizing Concubine Chen for seducing the emperor."
"Isn't this just a lie? Concubine Chen carefully took care of the sick queen in the palace, managed the harem in an orderly manner, and was considerate of the officials' families, taking care of the orphans in Anguo Temple for Princess Zhaoyang. She is a rare and virtuous concubine."
After returning to the palace, Concubine Chen treated people kindly, observed the virtues of a concubine, and never did anything out of line.
Her brother was still guarding Liangzhou, protecting the peace of Daqing. However, some people in the court disliked the Shen family and deliberately targeted them, which was really sad.
Yang Xuanji frowned: "What does the emperor say?"
A courtier shrugged and said, "The emperor reprimanded those ten people and demoted most of them. The Tantai family no longer dared to speak nonsense and stopped their activities."
Yang Xuanji clenched his hands around the ancient book and smiled with satisfaction: "Your Majesty is wise."
...
...
Shen Wei took the two children away from Guangwen Hall. Her hands were not burned, and she wrapped them in a layer of cotton cloth, purely to show them to the chattering officials in Guangwen Hall.
The sun was hot in the afternoon and the floor was scorching hot.
The sedan chair that was to pick up the concubine had not arrived yet.
Shen Wei took the two children and waited in the shade. Li Chengyou touched his forehead and shouted, "Mother, the children are sweating from the heat."
Shen Wei half squatted down and took out a handkerchief: "Come, let mother wipe it for you."
Li Chengyou raised his little head obediently, put his sweaty forehead forward, and his big black eyes sparkled.
Li Chengtai saw it and silently moved closer. He also wanted to wipe his mother's sweat.
Shen Wei smiled and wiped the sweat off her two sons carefully. Li Chengyou ate more, became fatter and stronger, and often ran under the sun, so his chubby face was tanned. Li Chengtai was a little thinner, with a strong body, and his palm-sized face showed a bit of maturity that belonged to his elder brother.
Li Chengtai raised his eyelids and saw the white cotton cloth wrapped around Shen Wei's right hand. He took the handkerchief handed to him by Shen Wei and said, "Mother's hand is still injured. I will wipe the sweat myself."
Li Chengyou was stunned for a moment, and took another handkerchief from Shen Wei: "Then the child should wipe his sweat by himself."
Li Chengyou wiped sweat as if he was washing his face. His two chubby hands held the embroidered handkerchief and wiped it randomly on his dark face.
"Who's there?" Caiping suddenly shouted, looking vigilantly at the stone lions at the entrance of Guangwenguan.
Shen Wei looked up in confusion.
Behind the stone lion, a thin figure slowly appeared. Li Chengzhen's thin figure appeared.
Shen Wei was quite surprised. After not seeing him for a while, Li Chengzhen seemed to have become thinner. His face was sallow, and there were dark circles under his eyes. He looked lifeless, and it seemed that he had stayed up too late.
"Second brother?" Li Chengyou was puzzled. "You should be in the Imperial College today, why are you here?"
When the princes reach a certain age, they will go to the Imperial College and Anguo Temple to study. Lee Seung-woo and Lee Seung-tae are still young and are currently receiving enlightenment education. They will go to the Imperial College in two or three years.
Today is not a day off, Li Chengzhen should be studying at the Imperial College, not hiding at the door of Guangwenguan.
Li Chengzhen pursed her lips: "It's none of your business."
Li Chengyou's eyes lit up and he grumbled, "You are skipping classes. If the emperor knew, he would definitely be angry."
Li Chengzhen snorted and didn't answer. The weather was hot and the Imperial College was stuffy. Li Chengzhen was upset and slipped back to the palace to run around.
I was walking aimlessly and somehow ended up at Guangwenguan.
At the entrance of Guangwen Hall, Li Chengzhen also saw Chen Fei and his two younger brothers. Chen Fei had a loving face and wiped the sweat off the children gently and delicately. The warm and beautiful scene deeply hurt Li Chengzhen's eyes.
A long time ago, the queen was also a good mother, gently wiping the sweat off him and his brother. Later, his brother was forced to die suddenly, and he also fell into an endless abyss...
At this time, two palace maids came running over from the palace road, their heads covered in sweat: "Your Highness, why are you here? The Master is still waiting for you!"
