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

It was also the first time for Concubine Qin to step into Changle Palace.

For many years, Changle Palace was cleaned every day. The emperor ordered people to plant roses in the courtyard and allowed his foxes to run around in Changle Palace, but he did not allow concubines to enter.

Concubine Qin had fantasized countless times that she could enter Changle Palace and become the supreme queen of Southern Chu. Unfortunately, after many years in the palace, she defeated one newcomer after another, but the emperor still did not make her the queen.

Entering Changle Palace, Concubine Qin was surprised to find that there was not a single rose left in the yard. All roses had been plucked out and replaced with precious flowers and plants. Under the eaves, there was a rosewood table and a rattan chair.

The girl that the emperor brought back from afar was leaning back in a chair, reading a book leisurely. She was slender and beautiful. She read leisurely, and from time to time she would pick up the fruit on the table to taste.

"How dare you! You don't even greet Empress Qin when you see her!" the old nanny scolded angrily.

Concubine Qin saw that the girl stopped eating the fruit.

Shen Wei turned around slowly.

Princess Qin saw her true face.

It was a face with a slightly dark complexion, rough skin and slightly curly hair. It was obvious that he had been exposed to wind and sun for many years and had no financial resources to maintain his skin.

Concubine Qin was slightly disappointed. This girl's appearance could only be considered pretty. Any concubine in the harem of Nanchu would be prettier than this fisherman's daughter.

The fisherman's daughter had two merits: one was her pretty back, and the other was her pair of clear, bright eyes that were shrewd and calm.

There is no trace of makeup on her face, so the fisherman's daughter should not be trying to hide her appearance.

Seeing that Shen Wei was still motionless, the old nanny could not help but scold again: "Yuan Xier, there are distinctions between the noble and the humble in the harem! The Queen Concubine Qin has come, and you have not even stood up to greet her. Do you want to wait for the palace rules to serve you?"

Shen Wei's lips curved slightly, and she calmly put down the book: "I live in Changle Palace, and Concubine Qin lives in Hanzhang Palace, so she should be the one to pay a visit to me."

The tone is flat.

No fear.

At a certain moment, she actually had the aura of a queen.

Princess Qin was secretly surprised. How could a little girl from a fishing family have such a powerful aura?

The old maid angrily scolded: "You are just temporarily staying in Changle Palace, and the emperor has not given you any status! You are barely a concubine, how can you have the confidence to disobey the Queen Qin! You haven't even been canonized yet, but you are already putting on airs, it's really rude!"

Caizhu was kneeling beside them, trembling with fear.

She kept winking at Shen Wei, hoping that Shen Wei would be more tactful and not offend Empress Qin.

Shen Wei still sat there calmly.

Concubine Qin's beautiful face gradually darkened. Concubine Qin said, "My sister has just entered the harem, and I'm afraid she hasn't learned the rules of the palace yet. Someone, come and teach her the rules."

The old nanny came forward with two palace maids and tried to pull Shen Wei up from the chair.

Before anyone got close, footsteps were heard outside Changle Palace. Following Li Yuanli's order, the chief eunuch brought Shen Wei the prepared health-preserving medicine.

Seeing the crowded Changle Palace, the eunuch chief was stunned.

I sighed in my heart.

It seems that Concubine Qin is planning to deal with Shen Wei.

Unfortunately, this time, Concubine Qin's plan was going to fail. The chief eunuch served the emperor every day, so he naturally knew how much the emperor valued this girl in Changle Palace.

For Shen Wei, the emperor burned the letter from the new emperor of Qing Kingdom and sent troops to defend the border.

The chief eunuch showed up, so Concubine Qin's people naturally couldn't take action and chose to wait aside. The chief eunuch personally carried the medicine, walked through the crowd, and placed the medicine on the table next to Shen Wei.

The chief eunuch smiled and said, "Miss, Doctor Mo has given you a new medicine. The emperor asked me to bring you the boiled medicine. The emperor knows that you are afraid of the bitterness of the medicine, so he also sent you a box of sugar."

Shen Wei clutched the book and said to the chief eunuch, "Go tell the emperor that I don't want to take the medicine."

The eunuch chief was stunned, and hurriedly leaned forward to ask, "Miss, you are weak, and the imperial physician said you must take medicine every day to recuperate. Good medicine tastes bitter, so you should drink it."

Shen Wei held her chin up and said slowly, "Eunuch, go tell Li Yuanli. I was bullied by Concubine Qin. I was so scared that I couldn't even drink the medicine."

Chief Eunuch:...

other people:...

The old nanny was furious and scolded Shen Wei: "How dare you address the emperor by his name!"

Shen Wei put down the book in her hand, patted her chest in fear, pointed at the angry old lady, and said to the eunuch chief steward: "See, they are so fierce, I am really scared."

The chief eunuch looked at Shen Wei, who stood still and calm, and could not see any fear on her face at all!

The chief eunuch's mouth twitched.

There are so many beauties in the harem, but there has never been a girl as special as Shen Wei - she lies with open eyes and is fearless.

The chief eunuch suddenly understood the emperor a little. This fisherman's daughter had such a special personality, no wonder the emperor liked her so much.

The chief eunuch coughed slightly, cleared his throat, and tried to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, young lady. I will report to the emperor right away."

Then the chief eunuch turned around and said to Concubine Qin in a friendly manner: "Please don't be impulsive, Concubine Qin. I will tell the emperor about the matter in Changle Palace. The emperor will decide what is right and wrong."

After saying this, the chief eunuch turned around and left Changle Palace.

Changle Palace suddenly became quiet.

Shen Wei asked Caizhu to pick up the books on the ground. She dusted off the book covers and continued reading while leaning back in the rattan chair.

The palace maid brought a chair and asked Concubine Qin to sit down.

Concubine Qin's face was as cold as frost. In the past, the concubines in the harem were scheming against each other for favor, and some concubines who were wronged would deliberately go to the emperor to complain.

As a result, he was punished by the emperor with thirty strokes of the cane and beaten to death.

Li Yuanli was cold and indifferent. He did not interfere in the struggles among the women in the harem, but the women's struggles would never affect his political affairs.

He hated the women in the harem crying in front of him. As an emperor with ambitions to rule the world, how could he worry about women's affairs all day long?

This move was a warning to others, and the fights among the concubines in the harem no longer dared to come to the emperor's desk.

Today, Shen Wei "relying on the emperor's favor to become arrogant", not only shouting the emperor's name, but also telling lies with open eyes. Concubine Qin clenched her handkerchief tightly, fearing that such a willful and capricious newcomer would touch the emperor's bottom line.

Maybe, the emperor will send people to beat him to death.

"Miss, why don't you apologize to Concubine Qin?" Caizhu secretly walked to Shen Wei and dissuaded her in a low voice.

Shen Wei: “No need.”

Caizhu sighed secretly.

She is courting death. I am afraid that this girl is doomed.

Not long after, the chief eunuch returned to Changle Palace, panting. This time, he brought back another food box, which contained warm medicine.

He bowed to Shen Wei respectfully: "Miss, the emperor said that good medicine tastes bitter and needs to be taken while it is hot to be effective."

The chief eunuch placed the warm medicine on the table, turned around, and looked at Concubine Qin with pity: "The emperor has ordered that Concubine Qin be deprived of her position as a concubine and demoted to a commoner, and that she be beaten to death immediately."
