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

The more Li Yuanjing thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible!

He was somewhat smug in his heart.

Shen Wei hid the fact from him that she had become the behind-the-scenes boss of the richest man in Qing State. In Li Yuanjing's view, this was something that could be understood.

After all, the richest woman in Qing State, Shopkeeper Ye, had generously donated silver to the Qing State Treasury many times to help Qing State compensate for natural disasters and man-made disasters in various places. If it weren't for Shen Wei's behind-the-scenes support, Shopkeeper Ye would not have done so.

From this we can see that Shen Wei has been silently using money to help Qingguo and her husband!

If this is not love, what is this?

Li Yuanjing was deeply moved.

It turned out that for many years, unknown to him, Shen Wei had been silently giving so much to him.

……

It was already dark. After reading all the letters about Manager Ye in the study, Li Yuanjing's heart was filled with emotion.

Shen Wei has returned and is waiting in the bedroom after taking a bath.

Li Yuanjing strode into the bedroom where they rested together and found Shen Wei leaning on the bed reading a storybook.

After Shen Wei took a bath, her long, smooth black hair was scattered on her shoulders, slightly damp. Her black hair was shiny, without any jewelry, and her eyebrows and eyes looked particularly beautiful.

Li Yuanjing was moved by what he saw.

He walked up to her, held Shen Wei in his arms affectionately, lowered his head and kissed her smooth white forehead, and said softly, "Weiwei."

The voice is hoarse and low.

As soon as Shen Wei raised her head, she saw the lust in Li Yuanjing's eyes.

Having slept in the same bed for many years, Shen Wei was too familiar with this kind of direct gaze. Every time Li Yuanjing showed this kind of gaze, it meant that there would be a long bed affair next.

Shen Wei sighed silently in her heart.

Shen Wei put down the notebook in her hand, moved away from Li Yuanjing, thought for a moment, and told Li Yuanjing sincerely, "I have something very important to discuss with you."

Li Yuanjing curled his thin lips slightly.

He had already guessed what Shen Wei was going to say to him.

He must confess the matter concerning Shopkeeper Ye.

Shen Wei was doing business secretly to help Qing State, so Li Yuanjing generously forgave Shen Wei for her deliberate concealment. So, Li Yuanjing said with a pleasant face: "I understand your thoughts, I will not blame you, I understand your behavior."

Shen Wei's eyes lit up. She didn't expect Li Yuanjing to be so easy to talk to. She smiled and said, "Can you really understand what I'm doing?"

Li Yuanjing smiled slightly and nodded tolerantly: "Of course."

Shen Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Wei clutched the notebook in her hand and told Li Yuanjing: "Since you have agreed, I will move to the next yard tonight."

Li Yuanjing's smile froze.

what?

Move to the next yard?

Only then did Li Yuanjing realize that Shen Wei and he seemed to be in different circumstances.

Li Yuanjing frowned, and asked Shen Wei in disbelief, "What did you want to tell me just now?"

The palace lanterns in the bedroom were bright, illuminating Shen Wei's face. Shen Wei answered truthfully: "Since we have left the palace, there is no need to observe red tape. We are both old, so it is better for us to sleep in separate beds in the future."

Li Yuanjing felt like he was struck by lightning.

Sleeping in separate rooms?

What? Shen Wei wants to sleep in a separate room from him!

Shen Wei patiently explained, "Chengtai has just ascended the throne, and the court situation is still unstable. As parents, we naturally have to consider our children's future. You are already in your forties, and if the Queen Mother is pregnant, it will be a scandal. For the sake of the overall situation, we should sleep in separate rooms."

"Besides, that contraceptive soup is really unpalatable. I've been drinking it for more than ten years and I really don't want to drink it anymore."

Shen Wei didn't like sleeping with anyone.

After enduring for many years and finally retiring, she naturally wanted to occupy the entire big bed by herself, so that she could roll around freely.

Moreover, over the years, she has been taking the contraceptive soup given by Doctor Mo, and she feels like vomiting after drinking it.

Li Yuanjing was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "Absolutely not!"

Why should a couple sleep in separate rooms?

The two of them are in love, how can they be separated?

He is not used to sleeping alone at all!

Li Yuanjing stared at Shen Wei's pretty face, finding it hard to understand why his Wei Wei would have such a horrible idea.

Shen Wei tilted her head and thought for a moment, then gave a tactful suggestion: "If you are really energetic, Grand Emperor, and you are not used to sleeping alone, then the concubines in the harem are free, and I will bring them over to accompany you tomorrow--"

Before he could finish his words, Li Yuanjing's face had turned as black as coal.

Li Yuanjing was filled with anger. He grabbed Shen Wei's thin arm and asked angrily, "Weiwei, you have been doing some strange things recently. I can tolerate other things. But I will never give up sleeping in the same bed with you! Love between men and women is human nature. I have been in harmony with you physically and mentally for these years. How can I give up?"

Shen Wei looked at Li Yuanjing with her dark eyes, thought for a moment, and said sincerely: "Actually... we are not physically and mentally compatible. I feel uncomfortable most of the time."

Li Yuanjing: ...

Uncomfortable?

This is the truth.

Li Yuanjing has always been conceited. He has always been the only woman who has given in to him. He rarely cares about women's feelings. If Shen Wei hadn't worked hard on fitness over the years, she would have been tortured to death by Li Yuanjing.

Of course, in recent years, Li Yuanjing has become more and more affectionate towards Shen Wei, and he has taken extra care of her in bed. But Shen Wei really doesn't want to sleep with him, and automatically ignores her feelings in recent years.

Li Yuanjing looked as if the sky had fallen.

My brain is buzzing.

The dignity of being a man was shattered at this moment!

Li Yuanjing paced back and forth in the luxurious bedroom with his hands behind his back. He never expected that Shen Wei had been tolerating him all these years.

Li Yuanjing asked himself, in recent years, he treated Shen Wei like a treasure, and completely doted on Shen Wei. There was no room for other women in his eyes, and he wanted to give the best things in the world to Shen Wei.

For the sake of Shen Wei's health, Li Yuanjing was even willing to give up the throne to his son and accompany Shen Wei to live out her retirement by the lake.

But Shen Wei actually disliked him...

Shen Wei looked at him, puffing his beard and glaring, like a spinning top spinning in confusion. Shen Wei felt sleepy, yawned, and advised again: "Don't pace around, I'll move to the next yard to rest tonight. Tomorrow I will bring over several concubines from the palace--"

Li Yuanjing interrupted Shen Wei and asked angrily, "You want me to find another woman? Is your love for me all these years fake?"

As soon as Li Yuanjing finished speaking, the bedroom fell into silence.

The glazed palace lanterns have a soft glow.

There was deathly silence in the room.

Li Yuanjing's head was buzzing. In the past, if he doubted Shen Wei's love for him, Shen Wei would have refuted it aggrievedly and expressed her deep love for Li Yuanjing.

But this time...

His Weiwei was unusually silent.

After a while, Shen Wei sighed, slowly stood up, and patted Li Yuanjing's shoulder with her slender white hand: "Grand Emperor, we are all old people, don't be entangled in love like young people, just make do with your life, why ask too many questions."

Li Yuanjing was struck by lightning. With a trembling voice, he asked a question that had been buried in his heart for many days: "Weiwei, don't you love me?"
