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

The King of Wu was still chattering: "Why, I have exposed your dirty thoughts, and you have nothing to say or refute, right? I will never fulfill your wish!"

After saying this, the King of Wu turned away.

The corners of Shen Wei's mouth twitched.

This man is mentally ill!

...

The guide fell ill, so the team stopped at the post station to rest. When the King of Wu returned to the courtyard of the post station, he sat on a stone bench and sulked, still feeling unhappy.

Good job Yuan Xier!

In order to become a princess, she actually did such a bold thing!

"Your Highness, please have some tea." The guard Zhang Wulang brought a bowl of hot tea.

King Wu took the tea, but did not finish it immediately. Instead, he asked, "Zhang Wulang, how about I expel Shen Wei—oh no, Yuan Xier from the team?"

Zhang Wulang tactfully advised: "Your Majesty, you can't drive her away."

We had just left the territory of Donglin Kingdom. There was a long journey ahead of us, and without a guide it was like a blind man walking.

The King of Wu held the tea bowl in his hand, thinking, "You mean that Yuan Xier loves me deeply and will never change until death. She knew that the future was difficult and dangerous, but she still risked her life to follow me. Girls like her are rare?"

Guard Zhang Wulang: "..."

That's not what he meant.

The guard Zhang Wulang said, "Your Majesty, please keep Yuan Xier."

The team needs her.

The King of Wu drank more than half a bowl of tea, but he was still irritated. He muttered, "You persuaded me to keep Yuan Xier? But the woman I want to marry is the most extraordinary and beautiful girl in the world! How can I explain to the future princess if I leave Yuan Xier in the King of Wu's mansion... However, she loves me deeply, and I really can't bear to let her down. How about taking her as a concubine?"

Zhang Wulang: ...

Zhang Wulang explained tactfully: "Your Majesty, I want you to keep Yuan Xier in the team."

I'm not asking you to keep her in the palace as a concubine!

During the journey, Zhang Wulang often chatted with Yuan Xier. In Yuan Xier's eyes, Zhang Wulang only saw her disdain for the King of Wu, without a trace of love.

The King of Wu glared at Zhang Wulang in anger and said, "You are such a fool! Yuan Xier is bedridden, how could I take advantage of her and take her while she is on the road? You are an honest man, but you have such dirty thoughts."

Zhang Wulang choked and couldn't utter a word for a long time.

Following the King of Wu, he did not enjoy the wealth and glory, but was always blamed for a lot of shit.

After drinking a bowl of hot tea, King Wu finally made up his mind after a fierce ideological struggle.

He returned to the inn in a hurry.

Shen Wei was leaning on the bed, frowning as she drank the cold and fever medicine Yuanfu had brought her. King Wu pushed open the door and rushed in, startling Shen Wei so much that she almost threw the medicine bowl in her hand over.

Yuan Fu: "Your Majesty, you are rushing here. Did our team run into bandits?"

King Wu waved his hand and said, "There is no bandit attack. Yuan Xier, I just had a chat with Brother Zhang Wu, and after his reminder, I decided to help you."

Shen Wei was completely confused.

What do you want to accomplish for her?

The King of Wu said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "If I can return home safely, I will take you as my concubine!"

A mouthful of bitter medicine got stuck in her throat, and Shen Wei choked and coughed non-stop. She simply couldn't understand the brain circuit of King Wu. Shen Wei coughed violently and waved at King Wu repeatedly.

She doesn't want to be a concubine!

She wants to return to Qing Kingdom to continue her retirement!

King Wu saw Shen Wei waving her hands repeatedly, thinking that she was not satisfied. His handsome face changed unpredictably, and he stopped to think for a moment before finally compromising: "Forget it, being a concubine is really unfair to you. In the future, I will take you as my concubine, okay?"

Shen Wei: "Cough cough cough cough——"

...

The team did not stay at the post station for too long. After dawn the next day, the team set out again in the morning light. Shen Wei still had a low fever and could only make a low hoarse sound in her throat.

She put on her windproof hat and pointed out the route they were going to travel today to Zhang Wulang. Shen Wei got on her horse again and prepared to continue walking in front of the team.

King Wu looked at her frail body and sighed. He called Shen Wei, "Come and ride in the carriage with me. You don't have to ride a horse."

Shen Wei weighed the options in her mind for a moment.

She had not recovered from the cold, and riding in the wind was indeed easy to cause trouble. Shen Wei would only choose the direction that was most beneficial to herself when doing anything, so she decisively dismounted and got into the King of Wu's carriage.

The King of Wu clicked his tongue.

She was so impatient.

The team continued to set off. The carriage was much more comfortable, with soft cushions that kept out the wind and cold. After Shen Wei finished drinking the cold medicine, she leaned against the wall of the carriage with her head tilted, taking the time to catch up on sleep and rest.

The place she was going to in the afternoon was Minju.

Minzhou is in chaos, and the entire team must be vigilant and guard against robbery by evil people.

King Wu sipped his tea silently. Shen Wei sat opposite him with her eyes closed and leaning against the wall of the carriage. King Wu couldn't help but stare at Shen Wei's sleeping face.

Her skin was still dark and rough, her features barely fair, and she was as thin as a cat. No matter from which angle you looked at her, she did not meet the standard of beauty. But as the King of Wu looked at her, he inexplicably thought she was quite beautiful.

The sleeping posture is very beautiful.

Excellent temperament.

The King of Wu could not help but reflect on himself: "Could it be that I have been in Wu County for too long and have never seen a beautiful woman, so now I think a black cat is pretty?"

Shen Wei was awakened by his voice. She opened her eyes impatiently: "What cat?"

The cold has not yet healed and the voice is very hoarse.

The King of Wu suddenly felt a little hot and thirsty.

He drank a bowl of tea guiltily, not daring to look Shen Wei in the eye: "Nothing... You, you continue to rest."

The convoy continued along the official road at a very slow speed. In the distance, they could already see the border mountains of Qing Kingdom and the Mingyuan River that flows between the two countries. In the afternoon, Shen Wei had enough sleep. After waking up, she spread out the map and began to study the next journey.

The most dangerous section of the road is in Minzhou. As long as you pass through Minzhou and reach the territory of Qing State, you will be received by officials along the way, and your safety will be fully guaranteed.

Just as Shen Wei was thinking about the route, Zhang Wulang's voice came from outside the carriage: "Your Majesty! There is news."

King Wu lifted the curtain of his carriage and asked, "What's the news? Bandits are robbing the road?"

Zhang Wulang shook his head: "It's not the bandits. It's Shen Xiuming, the Minister of the Qing Kingdom. He is stopping in Minzhou and sent someone to tell us that he is waiting for us in Minzhou."

King Wu was confused, then his face was filled with joy: "He is not in Yanjing City, why did he come to Wenzhou? Forget him! This time, we don't have to worry about being robbed in Wenzhou, we can just blame Shen Xiuming."

When the Minister of the State of Qing went out, he naturally brought with him guards with strong martial arts skills. The King of Wu was so worried that he wanted to fly to Minzhou immediately and hide under the big tree of Shen Xiuming.

"Rest for a while in the pavilion in front, go to the river to wash your face and refresh yourself, and rush to Minzhou before dark." The King of Wu gave the order happily.

Shen Wei was also surprised.

Shen Xiuming actually went to Minzhou? Was he looking for her?

Shen Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she could meet Shen Xiuming, her return to Qing Kingdom would be a sure thing. The afternoon sun was warm, and Shen Wei walked out of the carriage to get some fresh air. She had a low fever and her forehead and face were slightly hot.

Yuanfu went to the river to fetch water to make medicine for Shen Wei's cold. Shen Wei walked to the river, scooped up a handful of water and splashed it on her face.

The cold river water covered her face, and she sobered up a little. Shen Wei wiped the water off her face with her sleeve. She heard a noise behind her. She thought it was Yuanfu, so she turned around and said, "The cold medicine is ready--"

The rest of the words got stuck in my throat.

At some point, the riverside had been occupied by a large number of black cavalry.

The water of Mingyuan River flows slowly, and the snow-red flag with the words "Nan Chu" printed on it flutters in the wind. Against the harsh sunlight, Shen Wei sees a tall figure walking towards her.
