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

Zhang Miaoyu heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and sat down on the rosewood chair next to her: "That's good. So, the story about you giving Doctor Mo a handkerchief was just a rumor?"

Shen Wei shrugged: "I did give her a handkerchief."

Zhang Miaoyu almost fell off her chair. Her eyes widened and she stammered, "Then, then, then, is it true that you were in the same room with Doctor Mo in broad daylight, and your clothes were disheveled?"

Shen Wei nodded: "It's true, I will go to the Imperial Hospital these few days and stay in the same room with Doctor Mo."

Zhang Miaoyu's face turned pale.

She showed a look of disappointment and grabbed Shen Wei's sleeve, "You, you are so stupid! There are so many eyes watching you in the harem, and you actually did such a thing! What about Leyou? What about Chengtai and Chengyou? You, you, you, how can I say anything about you!"

Zhang Miaoyu was extremely anxious.

Doctor Mo is handsome and has many maids in the harem who have a crush on him. But Shen Wei is already a concubine, the most favored in the harem, so why does she also have feelings for Doctor Mo?

Zhang Miaoyu found it difficult to understand and even suspected that Shen Wei had been bewitched, which was why she did such an incredible and shameful thing.

After thinking it over, Zhang Miaoyu stood up suddenly, with a ruthless look in her eyes: "I will go and poison Doctor Mo to death. There will be no evidence against him, and I will do my best to save you."

After that, Zhang Miaoyu grabbed her skirt and rushed out. Shen Wei quickly stopped her and repeatedly dissuaded her: "Don't, Sister Miaoyu, don't be impulsive. The emperor will solve this matter."

Zhang Miaoyu stood there in astonishment: "Your Majesty, does your Majesty know about you and Doctor Mo?"

Shen Wei smiled: "He knew it a long time ago."

Zhang Miaoyu turned into a statue, standing stiffly in place.

After a long while, Zhang Miaoyu swallowed her saliva, revealed an expression of disbelief, and muttered: "I didn't expect that the emperor actually has such a special hobby..."

Shen Wei couldn't help but covered her mouth and laughed out loud.

...

After the morning court session, Li Yuanjing left officials from the Ministry of War to discuss strategies for dealing with the barbarians on the border.

It was not until noon that Li Yuanjing wrote down the imperial edict and ordered his men to rush it to Liangzhou City over 800 miles. Shen Mieyue and Sun Qingmei were both rare generals. If they joined forces with the Yue army, they would surely be able to repel the barbarians.

It is even possible to directly incorporate the barbarian territories into Daqing's territory.

Expanding territory has been the ambition of emperors of all dynasties.

"Your Majesty, lunch has been served. Please eat first, otherwise Concubine Chen will worry again." De Shun lowered his head and walked into Chang'an Palace, reminding politely.

Li Yuanjing put down the memorial in his hand and asked: "Where is the source of the rumors in the palace?"

Deshun bowed his head deeply: "Your Majesty, I have investigated carefully. Yesterday, the Imperial Concubine went to the Imperial Hospital to look through the Empress Dowager's pulse records, and then went to the residence of Imperial Physician Mo. Xiaoqin, the head maid of Changxin Palace, accidentally broke into Imperial Physician Mo's residence and saw the Imperial Concubine and Imperial Physician Mo in dishevel...Rumors are spreading in the palace."

Deshun did not dare to hide anything and reported the truth.

He knew Concubine Chen. She would not deliberately expose such a big mistake. It was obviously intentional.

Li Yuanjing narrowed his dark eyes dangerously, and said in a cold voice: "A maid from Changxin Palace actually broke into the residence of the imperial physician?"

Deshun said awkwardly: "This...I don't know."

The more Li Yuanjing thought about it, the angrier he became. How could a little palace maid be so bold? It must be the Changxin Palace that was spreading rumors.

Lu Xuan was pregnant, yet still so restless. The Lu family in Yunzhou was equally restless, wantonly swallowing up the assets left by the Xie family, being extremely greedy.

Li Yuanjing even suspected that Lu Xuan deliberately targeted Shen Wei in order to suppress the Shen family and support the Lu family.

Li Yuanjing said coldly: "Go to Changxin Palace."

...

...

In Changxin Palace, Lu Xuan was having lunch.

She was uneasy.

Last night, two eunuchs were beaten to death, and the gossip in the palace subsided for the most part. Lu Xuan was restless, and jealousy was like a torrent of water that eroded her sanity. She had never expected that the emperor would favor Shen Wei to this extent!

Lu Xuan felt a huge threat.

She must get rid of Shen Wei!

If Shen Wei gains power, her Lu family will never have a chance to rise again.

"Mother, have some chicken legs." The son's soft voice came, and Li Chengjue handed over a sauce-flavored chicken leg, his black gemstone-like eyes sparkling.

Lu Xuan's heart softened, and her expression calmed down: "Cheng Jue loves to eat chicken legs, why did you give it to mother?"

Li Chengjue said obediently: "I hope mother is happy. Mother, you have been very sad recently."

Lu Xuan's nose was sour, and she nodded gently: "Good boy."

The women with children in the harem all fought for their children and their families. Looking at such a considerate and sensible child, Lu Xuan became more determined to get rid of Shen Wei.

The mother and son were enjoying the chicken legs with gusto when a palace servant reported from outside:

"The Emperor has arrived."

Lu Xuan was delighted and quickly put down her chopsticks and went to the door to welcome him with Li Chengjue.

The emperor hadn't come to her place for lunch for a long time. Lu Xuan was quite flattered by his sudden visit today.

The majestic imperial guard stopped at the gate of Changxin Palace, and Li Yuanjing's handsome face came into Lu Xuan's sight.

Lu Xuan's nose was sour. Even though the emperor was ruthless, her love for Li Yuanjing was not false. Seeing Li Yuanjing's care for Shen Wei, Lu Xuan was extremely jealous.

She stepped forward and saluted.

Li Chengjue also ran over happily, learning the rules taught by the etiquette nanny in the palace, and greeted Li Yuanjing unskillfully: "My child, my child greets my father."

Li Yuanjing's eyebrows showed no emotion, he just nodded and said, "Stand up."

Lu Xuan followed Li Yuanjing into the inner hall. On the table, plates of exquisite delicacies were steaming and fragrant. Xiaoqin had already taken out brand new white jade chopsticks and white jade bowls and respectfully placed them on the main seat.

Li Yuanjing sat down but did not eat.

His eyes fell on Lu Xuan's abdomen, and he said calmly: "Two more months?"

Lu Xuan's pretty face showed a bit of shyness and joy, and she nodded gently: "Your Majesty is right, I will give birth in two months. The imperial physician said that the baby in my belly is very lively."

Seeing that Li Yuanjing was so concerned about her health, Lu Xuan's heart was once again rippled.

It was as if I had returned to the past when I lived in harmony with the emperor.

Li Yuanjing said: "Since you are pregnant, you should rest and recuperate, and don't think about doing evil."

The smile on Lu Xuan's lips froze, and she was slightly startled. But she quickly adjusted her expression, revealing a trace of confusion, as if she didn't know what Li Yuanjing meant.

Li Yuanjing looked at the maidservant serving at the table and asked, "Your name is Xiaoqin?"

Xiaoqin quickly replied: "Your Majesty, I am Xiaoqin."

Xiaoqin's hairs stood up on her back. The emperor's brief questions without any emotion brought her great panic and made her shudder.

Her throat tightened inexplicably and she felt uneasy.

The next moment, Xiaoqin heard the emperor's cold voice: "You have ulterior motives and are stirring up trouble. The harem cannot tolerate a servant like you."

"Drag him away and beat him to death. Send the body back to the Lu Mansion in Yunzhou, so that Duke Lu can reflect on himself."
