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

...

Changxin Palace.

The palace maid Xiaoqin informed Concubine Lu Xuan, who was pregnant, of the news that Princess Donglin was getting married.

Lu Xuan put down the medicine bowl in her hand, and a hint of sarcasm appeared on her pretty face: "Noble Concubine Chen is very cunning. She didn't want to add a new person to the harem, so she married Princess Donglin to a minor official."

I thought Princess Donglin would enter the palace as a concubine and temporarily share some of the emperor's favor.

Unexpectedly, Shen Wei acted so quickly and prevented the new woman from becoming a concubine.

Xiao Qin echoed, "Everyone says that Concubine Chen is kind and generous. In my opinion, she is the most cunning one, and everyone in the palace has been deceived by her."

Lu Xuan closed her eyes.

Sooner or later, she will expose Shen Wei's hypocritical true face.

The weather was getting colder, and Xiaoqin handed the hot water bottle to Lu Xuan. Xiaoqin lowered her voice and told Lu Xuan: "Master, our spies just reported that Concubine Chen and Doctor Mo were enjoying the autumn scenery in the Imperial Garden, and there was something ambiguous between the two. Concubine Chen even gave her handkerchief to Doctor Mo."

Lu Xuan leaned on the couch, her eyes half-closed: "The Queen Mother is seriously ill, the Emperor is busy with state affairs, I am pregnant and it is not suitable for me to move around, and Concubine Chen is getting more and more presumptuous."

Lu Xuan had already inquired about it. When Shen Wei was a concubine in Prince Yan's Mansion, she had contacts with Imperial Doctor Mo.

Unexpectedly, after entering the palace, the two of them secretly had an affair under the emperor's nose.

Xiaoqin raised her eyes and looked at Lu Xuan: "Master, Concubine Chen is already favored by the Emperor, why is she still having an ambiguous relationship with Doctor Mo?"

Lu Xuan held the warm hot water bottle and said calmly, "No matter what Concubine Chen had in mind. It is a serious crime for a concubine to have a secret meeting with a man from outside the palace and give a handkerchief to a man from outside the palace."

Xiaoqin thought about it and realized that this was the reason.

Lu Xuan said coldly: "Keep staring."

Lu Xuan had a premonition that the time to bring down Shen Wei was approaching.

...

...

On a late autumn night, the moonlight is cold.

Shen Wei was afraid of the cold, so she replaced all the bedding in the bedroom with warmer quilts and covered it with soft golden silk satin. She also replaced the bed curtains, door curtains, screen frames and carpets.

Change from pajamas to warmer cotton robes.

"The color of the bed curtain is too bright. Your Majesty, which color do you think would be better?" Shen Wei asked Li Yuanjing beside her while lying in the warm quilt.

When late autumn turns to winter, Shen Wei would ask Li Yuanjing for his opinion on replacing the decorations in the bedroom of Yongning Palace.

Increase his sense of participation.

This is not only Shen Wei's Yongning Palace, but also the "love nest" they decorated together.

Li Yuanjing glanced at the light golden bed curtains with his dark eyes and thought for a moment: "Crimson purple."

Shen Wei muttered, not quite agreeing: "Crimson purple is too dark, rouge is better, it looks warmer in winter."

Li Yuanjing thought for a moment and said, "Very good."

The two discussed the color of the bed curtains for a while. Shen Wei felt thirsty, so she got up and drank a cup of tea by the bed. She wiped the water stains at the corners of her mouth with a light green handkerchief and quickly got back into the warm bed.

Li Yuanjing saw the light-colored handkerchief in her hand and said casually, "I remember that you used a light-colored handkerchief embroidered with peonies this morning."

The handkerchief Shen Wei carries now is a new light green handkerchief.

Shen Wei leaned in Li Yuanjing's arms, and said in a natural tone: "I met Dr. Mo in the Imperial Garden today. She wiped her sleeves with a handkerchief and gave it to her as a gift - this is called a handkerchief friendship."

Li Yuanjing knew that Mo Xun was a girl, so he didn't ask any more questions.

A few days ago, the State Master of Yue State came to see him privately. He asked Li Yuanjing to take good care of Mo Xun in the palace and not let her suffer any grievances.

The Yue State's imperial teacher divined the location of an iron mine within the territory of Yue State as a reward for Li Yuanjing's taking care of Mo Xun.

As the night deepened, Shen Wei and Li Yuanjing chatted idly, and sleepiness gradually set in. Li Yuanjing put his arm around Shen Wei's waist as usual, ready to fall asleep.

Shen Wei suddenly let out a hissing sound: "Your Majesty, please be gentle, my waist still hurts."

Li Yuanjing opened his eyes and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Shen Wei blushed, and looked at Li Yuanjing with her almond-shaped eyes: "What else can I do? You shouldn't have made a fuss on the desk last night."

Li Yuanjing thought of the scene last night. The moonlight was bright in the autumn night. He was deeply in love. He held Shen Wei and moved from the bed to the desk...

The culprit Li Yuanjing rarely felt guilty, and he patiently rubbed Shen Wei's waist.

Li Yuanjing's massage on her waist was neither light nor heavy, and it was very comfortable. Shen Wei felt sleepy and fell asleep in a daze after a while.

The next morning, when Shen Wei got up, she hissed again, her pretty face twisted, and she held her waist with one hand.

Li Yuanjing frowned slightly and ordered the palace maid outside: "Come here, call the imperial physician."

Mo Xun ran over yawning, without even having time to wash his face.

Mo Xun was full of resentment.

Working is so tiring!

If she hadn't been afraid of being caught and taken back to Yue, she would have quit the job long ago.

She came to Yongning Palace and checked Shen Wei's pulse, with a serious face: "The imperial concubine has a back injury, and ordinary plasters are difficult to cure. I can give the imperial concubine acupuncture for a few days, and I guarantee that her back injury will be cured."

Li Yuanjing breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that it can be cured."

Li Yuanjing got up and went to court.

In the inner hall of Yongning Palace, the copper stove was filled with fragrant and elegant incense. Mo Xun sat down on the chair and asked curiously: "My dear concubine, there is nothing wrong with your waist. Why do you want me to say this?"

Without the presence of an outsider like Li Yuanjing, Mo Xun was relaxed and spoke in a comfortable tone to Shen Wei.

Shen Wei took a sip of the hot soup and smiled: "Fishing."

But Shen Wei didn't want to wait for the crisis to come. She wanted to take the initiative and spread the bait to catch fish.

Mo Xun exclaimed in amazement: "My dear concubine, you are so thoughtful. I admire you."

Shen Wei: "Please cooperate with me, Dr. Mo."

Mo Xun cupped his hands, showing his white teeth: "Don't worry, I will cooperate. To be honest, sometimes when I chat with you, I always feel a sense of familiarity as if we are old friends again."

When he was close to Shen Wei, Mo Xun always felt very close.

The natural sense of closeness cannot be described in words.

...

A few days later, Changxin Palace.

Lu Xuan had lunch and was ready to take a nap. She still had two months to give birth, and she was restless and always felt sleepy during the day and had trouble falling asleep at night.

The maid Xiaoqin walked into the bedroom and dismissed the maids who were waiting for her. Xiaoqin told Lu Xuan: "My master, I have been keeping an eye on Yongning Palace as you ordered. The emperor has been busy dealing with the Xie family these days, and he often walks around the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of War during the day. When the emperor is not in the palace, Concubine Chen often goes to the Imperial Hospital in the afternoon, under the pretext of looking at prescriptions for the empress dowager, but in fact she is having a secret meeting with Imperial Doctor Mo."

Lu Xuan's sleepiness suddenly disappeared, and her fingers trembled with excitement: "Are you serious?"

Xiaoqin nodded, her face also unable to hide her excitement: "I disguised myself as a eunuch and sneaked into the Imperial Hospital. I found that Concubine Chen walked into the resting place of Doctor Mo and stayed there for half an hour. Before Concubine Chen entered the room, her clothes were neat; when she came out of Doctor Mo's room, her clothes were disheveled. It can be seen that the two of them undressed in the room and did something shameful."
