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

Li Yuanli was unwilling to accept this.

He wanted to kick this cunning second brother into the river and drown him. He quickly climbed onto the horse, holding the reins, and said condescendingly: "Second brother, goodbye."

He glanced at Shen Wei in Li Yuanjing's arms, and added with a smile, full of provocation: "Keep an eye on her, I will bring her back to Nanchu in the future."

He waved the whip and rode away.

The mountain flowers are in full bloom, and Li Yuanli's figure riding away on his horse disappears into the mountains.

The hidden tiger guard appeared and said, "Your Majesty, the harem is secure. Do you want to hunt down the Emperor of Nanchu?"

The mountain wind made Li Yuanjing's black hair messy. His handsome face was gloomy, and murderous intent and kindness were fighting in his heart.

Li Yuanjing thought of the vast territory of Southern Chu. If Daqing went to war, Southern Chu might be conquered within ten years. But Li Yuanjing also thought of his childhood memories, remembering the time when he and his younger brother Li Yuanli chased and played.

After a long while, the emperor's mercy barely overcame the murderous intent, and Li Yuanjing closed his eyes: "No need."

It would take Li Yuanli at least three to five years to fix the mess in Nanchu. For a long time in the future, Li Yuanli would have no time to think ill of Qing.

...

...

The grand silkworm and ploughing ceremonies came to an end in the afterglow of the setting sun. The royal guard of honor returned to the majestic imperial city along the long royal palace road.

The imperial guards led the way, with flags flying. Inside the spacious imperial carriage, Shen Wei had already changed into dry and warm spring clothes.

She was still in a coma.

He was wearing a thick fox fur blanket.

The carriage was shaking, and Li Yuanjing sat on the side of the table, his dark eyes fixed on the sleeping Shen Wei for a long time. The sleeping Shen Wei had a peaceful and round face, and her skin was white, like a peony blooming in the mountains.

Li Yuanjing and Shen Wei have been sleeping in the same bed for many years, and he is very familiar with Shen Wei's sleeping face.

He looked at Shen Wei quietly, his handsome brows slowly frowning.

He thought of Li Yuanli jumping into the turbulent river to save people without hesitation;

He also thought of the fiery look Li Yuanli cast at Shen Wei;

He also thought of Li Yuanli's reckless words before he escaped: "Keep an eye on her, I will bring her back to Nanchu in the future."

His half brother, who has the same father as him but different mother, has always been a prostitute, treating men and women as playthings in bed. But this playboy brother actually fell in love with Shen Wei.

When did love arise?

Li Yuanjing felt a surge of bitterness in his heart.

He couldn't help but wonder, could it be that in the past, unknown to him, his Vivi and Li Yuanli had had an unknown relationship?

The heart seemed to have a crack, and the seeds of doubt took root in the heart, took root and sprouted, and then grew wildly like weeds after a spring rain, flooding the heart.

...

...

Shen Wei slept all night. Mo Xun from the Imperial Hospital came to take her pulse, prescribed a dose of medicine to treat colds and wind evil, and then left in a hurry carrying the medicine box.

The next morning, Shen Wei woke up in the warm and comfortable big bed in Yongning Palace. She was in good health and did not feel any headache or fever when she woke up.

Shen Wei drank a bowl of bitter Chinese medicine, quickly stuffed a candied fruit into her mouth, and jumped out of bed. She lifted the veil, and the warm sunlight instantly enveloped her whole body, bringing a comfortable warmth.

Shen Wei was practicing a set of Ba Duan Jin in the courtyard, with sweat staining her forehead. As Shen Wei was wiping the sweat off her face, a few small figures ran to the gate of Yongning Palace.

"Mother concubine!"

"Mrs. Chen."

Le You ran over with his fat legs, threw himself into Shen Wei's arms and acted like a spoiled child: "Mother, I'm glad you're okay. I scared you."

Shen Wei smiled and hugged her daughter, stroking her round face: "With your father here, no one can hurt me."

Several children surrounded Shen Wei, chattering and asking questions. Shen Wei was still thinking about palace affairs, so she played with the children for a while, then asked Cai Lian to take the children to the backyard for snacks and to try on the spring clothes that Shen Wei had asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make for the children.

The children filed away.

Only Li Chengtai stayed where he was, staring at Shen Wei with his big black eyes. Shen Wei smiled and said, "Chengtai, do you have anything to say to me?"

Li Chengtai was wearing a spring jacket embroidered with gold patterns, and his handsome face, which looked similar to Li Yuanjing, was filled with sorrow. He opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke in a sullen voice: "Mother, father knew that the assassins were going to attack the Cining Palace, right?"

Shen Wei's eyes flickered. She didn't expect that this child could see things so clearly.

Shen Wei nodded slightly: "Of course your father knows. He has left several hundred imperial guards and tiger guards in the palace, waiting for the opportunity."

The Lu family thought they had a cooperative relationship with the Emperor of Nanchu, but in the eyes of the Emperor of Nanchu, the Lu family was a tool to murder the Queen Mother.

Discard it after use.

Li Yuanli never thought about cooperating with the Lu family.

Li Chengtai hung his head and looked at two black ants passing by in the dirt in the yard. His father was the Emperor of Daqing, who used the Empress Dowager and his children as bait to trap them.

Li Chengtai felt depressed.

It's a bit uncomfortable.

His reason told him that his father's plan was ingenious; his emotion told him that his father was truly heartless.

Shen Wei touched her son's round head and comforted him softly: "Don't think too much, you are still a child. When you stand at a high enough height, you will see the world from a different perspective."

Li Chengtai pursed his lips, nodded as if he understood, and walked towards the backyard.

After the children left, Shen Wei returned to the study and looked through the repair catalog handed over by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The thieves entered the palace to assassinate, injuring many innocent palace servants and destroying many palace appliances.

Shen Wei calculated the money needed to renovate the harem, her eyes widened, it would cost at least two thousand taels of silver!

Shen Wei clenched her fists and silently remembered Li Yuanli's words in her heart.

Li Yuanli teamed up with the Lu family to mess up the harem of Daqing! He ran away, leaving Shen Wei with a mess!

Cai Ping walked into the study and said to Shen Wei with a smile, "Master, I have heard news from the court. The emperor sent troops to surround the Lu Guogong Mansion in Yunzhou last night, and the entire Lu family was imprisoned awaiting trial. The evidence is irrefutable that the Lu family is colluding with Nanchu. I'm afraid the Lu family will be completely destroyed."

Assassinating the emperor and murdering the empress dowager, any one of these charges is enough to execute the entire Lu family.

The Lu family dug their own grave and there is no way they can recover.

Shen Wei counted on her fingers. The Tantai family fell, the Xie family fell, the Lu family fell, and the Wu family defected. Most of the aristocratic family tumors lingering in and around Yanjing City have been eliminated, and the remaining aristocratic families no longer pose a threat.

Shen Wei felt relaxed both physically and mentally.

The days ahead will finally be smooth.

Shen Wei put down the account book and asked Cai Ping: "Is the emperor in Chang'an Palace?"

Cai Ping nodded and replied, "The Emperor summoned officials from the Ministry of War, Ministry of Rites, and Ministry of Justice early in the morning, and they are now discussing matters in Chang'an Palace."

Shen Wei said, "Even though the government is busy, we must not forget lunch. Ask the imperial kitchen to prepare some delicious food and send it to the side hall of Chang'an Palace at noon. I will have lunch with the emperor."

Caiping immediately went to the imperial kitchen to pass on the order.

After Shen Wei checked the money needed to repair the harem, she went to the Cining Palace to visit the empress dowager. Near noon, Eunuch Deshun came to tell Shen Wei: "My lady, the emperor is busy and said... he doesn't need you to accompany him for lunch."
