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

The sound of horse hooves.

Waves beat against the shore, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, several horses appeared on the beach. Shen Wei put down the basket she was using to collect shells, and craned her neck to look into the distance, wanting to see the King of Wu.

In a small fishing village with little information, King Wu Zhao Ziqi was her best source of news from the outside world.

"Sister, let's go home." Yuanfu's dark face showed worry and he carefully pulled Shen Wei's sleeve.

He was afraid that his sister would offend the King of Wu again and cause trouble.

Shen Wei patted Yuan Fu's shoulder: "I'll just take a look."

On the beach after the tide recedes, most of the fishermen who go fishing are women. The men go out to sea to fish or repair fishing boats, and the work of fishing is basically done by the women at home.

At a glance, there were at least twenty or thirty young girls on the beach.

The sound of horse hooves approaches.

The King of Wu, accompanied by three guards, held the reins and rode leisurely on the beach.

Shen Wei raised her head and looked at the young King of Wu from a distance. King of Wu, Zhao Ziqi, was about twenty years old, with dark brown curly hair, which was unique to Donglin people. His curly hair was loose, and he had a very thin braid on one side, with two shiny pearls at the end of the braid.

He had slightly dark skin and wore a white and gold robe, which gave him an exotic and wild look.

Seeing this, Shen Wei thought of the dancing man from Donglin whom she saw on the cruise ship at Luoyue Lake.

Zhao Ziqi is Princess Donglin's younger brother, and the two siblings look 50% similar.

The King of Wu came all the way to the beach, not to admire the sunset. There were many women going to the beach at dusk, which made it convenient for him to find the "most beautiful woman in the world".

Unfortunately, when King Wu looked across the beach, he only saw a group of rough-looking fishermen's girls. He held the whip and said helplessly, "They are all mediocre girls! None of them are eye-catching!"

The guards beside him comforted him: "Your Majesty, Wu County is not big, and there are not many women of marriageable age. If you want to find a beauty, can we go to the next county to find one for you?"

King Wu's face fell: "The next county is the territory of Brother Thirty-Six. He is a lecher and has taken all the pretty girls."

The guard smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to persuade him.

The King of Wu was still young and unmarried. The Emperor had many sons, so he had no time to find a wife for an unfavored son, so the King of Wu had to find one himself.

The King of Wu held the reins and muttered, "My sister wrote to me, saying that there are many beauties in Qing. Maybe the most beautiful girl in the world is in Qing—"

Before he finished speaking, the King of Wu's eyes suddenly froze. He saw a pretty figure among the fishermen's girls who were fishing on the beach.

The figure was slender, with slightly black curly hair swaying in the sea breeze. She held a bamboo basket in her left hand and a wooden rack for picking up shells in her right hand. At this time, the afterglow of the setting sun was shining, and the seashore was like sparkling broken gold. The fisherman's daughter stood in a large area of ​​golden light, as sacred as the sea god descending.

The King of Wu was stunned.

This back view...

It reminded him of his mother, who had the same slender and beautiful back when she was collecting pearls at the seaside.

He quickly spurred his horse and galloped towards the figure. The King of Wu shouted, "You, you turn around!"

Shen Wei put the clams she picked up into the basket and turned around.

The horse stopped in front of her.

King Wu saw Shen Wei's face clearly, and his handsome face showed disappointment. She obviously has such a beautiful back and such an elegant temperament, why is her appearance so ordinary?

The King of Wu frowned, "Why are you the ugly one again? What do you want to do? I would rather jump into the sea and feed the fish than marry you!"

Yuanfu ran over nervously, grabbed Shen Wei's arm and wanted to kneel down.

Shen Wei didn't move at all.

Shen Wei had inquired about the King of Wu during this period. The King of Wu was not a bad person, at most he was a playboy, he spent his days in Wu County riding horses, shooting arrows and picking flowers, looking for the most beautiful woman in the world.

If you have never committed evil deeds such as murder or arson, you are not a very evil person.

Shen Wei raised her lips and said calmly, "People are shaped by the land and water they live in. I was born in a fishing village and have been exposed to the wind and sun since I was a child, so my skin is naturally dark and rough. Your Highness the King of Wu wants to find the most beautiful woman in the world, but I have heard that the most beautiful woman in the world is in Qing Kingdom."

King Wu sat high on his horse and jokingly asked, "Do you know who is the most beautiful person in Qing?"

Shen Wei said calmly, "Of course - I heard that the Queen Mother of Qing, Shen, was a beautiful woman with a charming smile that made all the beauties in the palace pale in comparison. It's a pity that she died of illness a few days ago. She was really a beauty with a tragic fate."

Upon hearing this, the King of Wu was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

He was laughing so hard.

The King of Wu laughed enough, and then he covered his chest and said, "You are a fisherman's daughter, you don't know shit, stop talking nonsense here. The Queen Mother of Qing and my elder sister were close friends. If the Queen Mother of Qing had passed away, my elder sister would have written to tell me. Where did you hear this nonsense? Hahaha."

The King of Wu continued to laugh.

Shen Wei's face slowly darkened.

Counting it all, Shen Wei has been dressed as "Yuan Xier" for more than half a month. Donglin borders Qingguo, and if the Queen Mother of Qingguo dies, the news will definitely reach the ears of the Donglin royal family.

According to King Wu, Queen Mother Shen of Qing is not dead yet?

Shen Wei was confused.

If the Queen Mother of Qing is not dead, then who is inside the Queen Mother's body? Is it the fisherman's daughter Xier? Or someone else?

Shen Wei was at a loss for a moment, but soon calmed down. Since Queen Mother Shen was not dead, it meant that Shen Wei still had a chance to return to that body and live a good life in retirement.

She has to return to Qing Kingdom as soon as possible!

Shen Wei had a feeling that she seemed to be involved in a well-designed conspiracy. Maybe something unexpected happened, and she ended up in Xier's body by mistake.

After thinking for a while in her mind, Shen Wei silently clenched her fists, thinking bitterly, don't let her find the murderer behind the scenes.

Once the murderer is found, Shen Wei will stab him to death with one knife!

"Ugly thing, remember to stay away from me next time you see me." King Wu pulled the reins of his horse, glanced at Shen Wei's dark face with disdain, turned around and left.

The horses were moving further away.

The marriageable fishermen's daughters who had gathered on the beach dispersed one by one in disappointment.

A fisherman's daughter, carrying a basket, walked up to Shen Wei with a gloating look on her face: "Xi'er, no matter how much you show off, the prince won't look down on you. After being rejected again and again, if it were me, I would have jumped into the sea to feed the fish long ago."

Yuanfu stammered, "Qiaojie, please stop talking. My sister is not well yet."

The fisherman's daughter named Qiaojie shrugged, glanced at Shen Wei with disdain, and continued to go fishing with her basket.

Yuan Fu stubbornly tugged at Shen Wei's sleeve, his voice tearful: "Sister, you, you must not be upset. Sister, you are very beautiful, really."

Yuanfu was afraid that Shen Wei would be upset and jump into the sea again.

Shen Wei patted Yuan Fu's head and said, "I won't die. I will live to be a hundred years old. Let's pick up some more clams and exchange them for money at the market tomorrow."

Yuanfu: "...Oh, okay."

The brother and sister worked diligently to catch seafood.

They were lucky today and returned home with two large baskets filled with seafood.

On the way home, Yuanfu was in a good mood and hummed a tuneless fishing village song.

Yuanfu thought about the conversation between his elder sister and King Wu today, and asked curiously, "Sister, is Queen Mother Shen of Qing Kingdom really the most beautiful woman in the world?"

Shen Wei touched her nose awkwardly, her face not blushing and her heart not beating: "It should be."
