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

Liuli Pavilion is a courtyard where only concubines are qualified to live.

The Liuli Pavilion was only built last year. It is located close to Prince Yan's study. No one has ever lived in it and it has remained vacant.

King Yan doted on Shen Wei's nose and said, "Fangfei Garden is too far away. You live in Liuli Pavilion, which is closer to me."

Shen Wei pursed her pink lips and said hesitantly, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but I am of low status... Fangfei Garden is elegant and quiet, and I am very happy living here."

I was cheering in my heart, but I still had to pretend on the surface.

The more Shen Wei refused, the more distressed Prince Yan felt.

King Yan did not give her a chance to refuse. He lowered his head and kissed Shen Wei between the eyebrows: "Be obedient."

Shen Wei blushed and nodded silently.

The sponsor rewarded her with a big house, so naturally she had to give something back.

She put her slender white arms around Prince Yan's neck and looked at him shyly with charming eyes full of trust and admiration - she loved her mountains of gold and silver so much!

The candlelight was bright, the beauty was picturesque, and there was a faint scent of wormwood in the air. The King of Yan was so moved that he approached her...

Holding hands, they walked into the curtain, and blew out the lights with a shy smile.

Gently pluck, rub, and pick, and smudge the flowery face with golden hairpins.

...

Shen Wei and King Yan were conducting a clothes separation experiment. In the Rose Garden next door, Zhang Yue was sitting on the bed with a sullen face.

Mosquitoes were buzzing around her ears and the pungent smell of mosquito smoke filled the air. Zhang Yue was depressed when she learned that King Yan would stay at Fangfei Garden again tonight.

Since Prince Yan was around, she didn't dare let Fang'er dress up as a ghost to tease Shen Wei.

Only after Prince Yan left did she dare to take action.

Zhang Yue observed in secret that Shen Wei had been restless and unable to sleep or eat in the past few days, and she became increasingly paler and thinner.

"I didn't expect that no one would notice my idea of ​​playing tricks." Zhang Yue was very proud.

I thought Shen Wei was so powerful, but I didn't expect she was just a useless coward.

You didn't even see through the trick of pretending to be a ghost. How stupid.

This brainless woman, even if she is favored by the King of Yan, will not live long. Zhang Yue planned to continue to dress up as a ghost to scare Shen Wei until she was scared to death.

Once Shen Wei dies, Zhang Yue will have a chance to turn things around.

Zhang Yue was satisfied and lay down on the small bed ready to go to sleep. But there were so many mosquitoes in the summer night, buzzing non-stop. Many mosquitoes also got through the mosquito net and bit Zhang Yue all over.

Zhang Yue endured it silently, hoping that when she became favored in the future, the Ministry of Internal Affairs would send her the best mosquito nets and mosquito coils.

The next morning, Zhang Yue was awakened by the noise coming from the yard next door.

She irritably lifted the bed curtain and asked Fang'er, who was keeping watch outside the room, "What happened to Fangfei Garden next door? It's so noisy so early in the morning."

Fang'er rushed in hurriedly, looked at Zhang Yue deeply, hiding the resentment that flashed in her eyes, and then lowered her head: "My lord, this morning the prince sent an order for Shen to move to Liuli Pavilion. Now Shen is arranging for the servants to move the furniture, so there is some noise."

Zhang Yue's mind went blank.

what?

Move to Liuli Pavilion!

Zhang Yue had heard of Liuli Pavilion. It was a new pavilion specially built by the Prince of Yan last year. It was very close to the prince's study and was originally intended to be used as a place for the Prince of Yan to take a rest in the summer.

Who would have thought that such a nice courtyard would be lived in by a lowly concubine like Shen Wei!

Zhang Yue's eyes were dazed and she grabbed the bed curtain unconsciously. The development of things was beyond her expectations.

Immediately, a strong feeling of jealousy surged over her, and Zhang Yue angrily picked up the small celadon vase beside the bed and smashed it to the ground.

Zhang Yue clenched her fists and gritted her teeth: "Shen Wei, do you think there will be no ghosts after moving to Liuli Pavilion?"

The ghosts in this world are like shadows that follow you everywhere.

...

...

In Kunyuyuan, the princess is checking the newly purchased leather.

She specially asked someone to purchase these leathers from the south because she wanted to make a few new pairs of shoes for her two sons.

Upon learning that Shen Wei had moved into the Glazed Pavilion, the princess paused with her hand holding the leather, a look of disbelief on her face.

Madam Liu lowered her voice and bowed to remind her, "Princess, the prince allowed Shen to live in Liuli Pavilion, which shows how much he values ​​Shen. If things continue like this, Shen's fame will only grow."

The princess thought for a moment and shook her head calmly: "The prince has never been a man of long-lasting love. Shen Wei is just a tool to vent his anger on me. The prince wants to use Shen Wei to warn me to be a good wife and mother."

The princess guessed that Prince Yan was dissatisfied with her cold attitude towards concubines, so he deliberately let Shen Wei live in Liuli Pavilion.

The princess sneered and said, "When the prince gave Qixue Pavilion to Liu Ruyan to live in, everyone thought that Liu Ruyan would take away my position as princess. But look at it, Qixue Pavilion is now desolate and cold. How many times does the prince go there in a month?"

Even the stunningly beautiful Liu Ruyan could not be favored by the emperor, let alone Shen Wei, who came from a humble background and had no family background.

The princess still firmly believed that Wei had never entered the heart of Prince Yan.

Shen Wei has been favored for three months. Every time she sleeps with the King of Yan, she is given contraceptive soup. She has not been pregnant yet. This is the best proof.

The princess ordered Madam Liu: "Since the prince has awarded the Glazed Pavilion to Shen, I cannot fail to express my gratitude. Madam Liu, take ten rolls of silk and satin and one hundred taels of silver from the storehouse and give them to Shen. She is disturbed by the ghost incident, and as the mistress of the house, I should comfort her."

Didn’t the King of Yan ask her to be a dedicated and responsible mistress?

Then she would do as King Yan wished and put in some superficial efforts to show him.

"When will the girl from Jiangnan arrive in Yanjing?" The princess thought of the new concubine she had prepared for the Prince of Yan.

Madam Liu replied, "It will arrive in half a month."

The princess raised her lips and said, "Very good."

This girl from Jiangnan is smart and calculating, much better than the useless Zhang Yue.

The princess believed that the arrival of this woman would take away all the limelight from Shen Wei and give birth to a child for the Prince of Yan as soon as possible.

...

The Liuli Pavilion is located in the south of the palace, next to which is the Prince of Yan’s library and study.

The servants had already cleaned out the Glazed Pavilion and moved the things from Fangfei Garden in. Shen Wei stepped into the Glazed Pavilion. This courtyard was much larger than Fangfei Garden, with six rooms and a beautiful two-story wooden pavilion in the middle.

The yard is surrounded by green trees. A crescent-shaped pond runs from the front yard to the back yard. There is also a gurgling stream under the rockery. The entire glazed pavilion is very elegant and unique.

The new office is spacious and Shen Wei is very satisfied.

After moving to the Liuli Pavilion, King Yan also sent people to give Shen Wei a lot of medicinal herbs and silks to comfort Shen Wei for the pain and torture she suffered.

The princess also sent someone to give Shen Wei some medicinal herbs and silver, asking her to take good care of herself and not be disturbed by ghosts again.

Shen Wei likes the money given to her by the Prince of Yan and the Princess, and her treasury is full. When the time is right in the future, Shen Wei will buy some shops and land in Yanjing, and make more money.

Shen Wei walked around the Glazed Pavilion, and after taking in the entirety of the courtyard, she called a meeting of the employees.

When moving into a new home, the first thing to do is still to decorate the facade.

Shen Wei took a sip of tea to moisten her throat and began to make plans: "Clear the moss and dirt in the pond, and move all the lotus flowers, lotus leaves and fish in. Build a larger pavilion by the pond and lay a large bed inside."

"We have to plant mugwort outside the yard. We rely on it to repel mosquitoes in the summer."

"Open up two vegetable plots, one for growing vegetables and one for growing medicinal herbs. Clean up the small kitchen next to it."

"Plant two green plum trees in the corner. I will make green plum wine next year when the green plums are ripe. Also, replace the furniture in the house with rosewood chairs...hang the "Spring Feast" written by the prince on the wall of the study, prepare the pen, ink, paper and inkstone...if you don't have enough money, use my small treasury..."

Shen Wei gave instructions in an orderly manner. Cailian, Caiping, Jixiang, Deshun and Rong Mama pricked up their ears and remembered everything.

After the meeting, everyone went about their business.

After a long time of getting along, Shen Wei has honed these maids and eunuchs in her courtyard into a highly efficient work team. Shen Wei can safely hand over some things to them, which greatly reduces her workload.

Shen Wei returned to the small study and began to practice calligraphy.

Every time the King of Yan came to her, he would check whether she had made any progress in her calligraphy practice. Shen Wei could not disappoint her boss, so she had to work harder to get a promotion and a raise.

As she was writing, Shen Wei paused and said, "Cai Ping, come in."

Cai Ping wiped the sweat from her forehead and ran in panting: "Master, what do you want me to do?"

Shen Wei said, "Tell Jixiang and Deshun to be more careful at night. The ghosts in Fangfei Garden might come to Liuli Pavilion. If you see them, just catch them."

Cai Ping nodded happily: "Master, rest assured, I will find Jixiang and Deshun to make preparations right away."

Shen Wei knew Zhang Yue's mean and mean character. Seeing Shen Wei living in a luxurious courtyard, Zhang Yue must be unwilling.

Will definitely continue to cause trouble.

Shen Wei lightly pinched the brush, it was time to prepare for a counterattack - preferably a fatal blow.

Shen Wei practiced calligraphy until dark.

The night fell quietly. Tonight, Prince Yan did not come to sleep with Shen Wei. He was still in the East Palace discussing state affairs with the Crown Prince. There have been frequent wars on the border recently, and Prince Yan and the Crown Prince will probably be busy for a few more days.

Shen Wei knew clearly that Prince Yan was not the kind of man who was obsessed with beauty. He was very ambitious in his career and would not waste his time on love affairs.

He spent most of the day on official duties and riding and shooting arrows with others, and only the remaining small part of his time was spent with the women in the rear house.

What the King of Yan wanted was very simple. He wanted to go home after finishing his official duties every day, to have a beautiful woman to care for him and to have a warm harbor to sleep in.

What women like Liu Ruyan want is to be together for life, to be with their husbands every day. Of course, this is impossible to achieve - if it cannot be achieved, they will feel resentful and choose to be idle.

Shen Wei would not feel resentful. Prince Yan was busy with his own affairs, while Shen Wei was busy with her own affairs.

When Prince Yan has time to visit her, Shen Wei will still be the woman who loves him "wholeheartedly", satisfying all of Prince Yan's beautiful fantasies.

After dinner and doing Pamela's aerobics, Shen Wei was sweating all over. She walked in the courtyard of the Glass Pavilion, holding a small embroidered fan.

The Liuli Pavilion has a large courtyard, and the newly planted flowers and green plants are particularly beautiful. The moonlight is hazy, and the breeze blows, bringing bursts of fragrance.

Cai Ping followed Shen Wei and chattered about the border: "I heard that the Marquis of Zhennan and General Shen at the border joined forces to defeat the Yue army. The Marquis of Zhennan cared about the country and was ordered to go to war on his wedding night, even leaving his childhood sweetheart aside."

"General Shen has been in the army for many years, rising from an unknown soldier to the position of general, with great military achievements. It is said that General Shen's mother and brothers and sisters were all killed by the Yue army, so General Shen vowed to destroy the Yue Kingdom and avenge his family."

Shen Wei was very interested: "General Shen? He has the same last name as me. What's his full name?"
