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

The Ninth Prince of Nanchu was very tall. He came against the light, and his eyes were like a sharp knife, cutting fiercely into Shen Wei's face.

The ninth prince Li Mi stopped.

He tilted his head and looked at Shen Wei's face. As if he saw something interesting, Li Mi jokingly said, "Are you the fisherman's daughter that the emperor brought back?"

Shen Wei took a sip of tea: "Yeah."

Li Mi: “So ugly.”

Shen Wei put down her teacup: "If the emperor appoints me as the queen, I will be your queen mother. A dog does not despise a poor family, a son does not despise an ugly mother, how can you despise your queen mother's ugliness?"

Li Mi: ...

Li Mi gritted his teeth: "What a cruel mouth."

The maid Caizhu next to her was so frightened that her legs went weak and she almost knelt down. She kept winking at Shen Wei, hoping that Shen Wei would not offend the Ninth Prince.

The ninth prince Li Mi is no simple person!

What a ruthless person!

When he went crazy, even the former Concubine Qin dared not raise her head. Li Mi had been in conflict with the emperor for a long time and had a hot temper. Once a concubine accidentally provoked him, Li Mi directly chopped the concubine with a knife.

Afterwards, the Ninth Prince was imprisoned in the prison for half a month by the Emperor, and suffered a lot. After being released from the prison, Li Mi's bad temper remained unchanged, and he opposed the Emperor everywhere.

The fat white fox also came over slowly, circled around Shen Wei's feet, curled up into a white ball, and nestled at Shen Wei's feet. Shen Wei liked it very much and reached out to rub the fat head of the white fox.

The white fox narrowed its eyes comfortably and lowered its furry ears.

Li Mi saw this scene and secretly gnashed his teeth: "This fox loves to bite people, and it is so intimate with you."

Shen Wei smiled and said, "He who knows the current situation is a hero. It is a smart fox, and it knows that if it bites me, it will end miserably. What about you, are you smart?"

Li Mi put the tip of his tongue against his cheek and looked at Shen Wei deeply: "The source of trouble."

After saying that, Li Mi turned away.

The white fox was still lying affectionately at Shen Wei's feet.

Caizhu heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly poured tea for Shen Wei. Caizhu murmured, "Miss, you are so lucky. The Ninth Prince might be in a very good mood today, so he didn't attack you."

Shen Wei played with the teacup with her fingertips and asked Caizhu, "Is the relationship between the Ninth Prince and the Emperor really that bad?"

Caizhu nodded angrily: "They are like water and fire, and cannot coexist."

Shen Wei slowly shook her head and said firmly: "If they were really incompatible, this kid would have been killed long ago."

But unfortunately, Li Yuanli still saved the life of the Ninth Prince, which shows that the relationship between the two is not as severe as the outside world thinks.

...

...

The front hall of the palace.

Li Yuanli lazily leaned on the dragon chair, ignoring the pile of files on the desk. Across the pearl curtain, several court officials were arguing about how to convict the Prime Minister's Office.

Li Yuanli felt drowsy after listening to this.

Until the chief eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince is here."

The quarrel in the hall suddenly stopped.

The ministers were all worried and did not dare to stay any longer. Every time the Ninth Prince came to see the Emperor, there would always be a huge uproar in the palace.

No one dares to bring bad luck.

The ministers bowed and took their leave. Li Yuanli held his forehead with one hand and closed his eyes to rest. The elegant aroma of incense from the gilded copper stove in the hall made him drowsy.

The heavy footsteps broke the silence behind the bead curtain.

The ninth prince Li Mi strode into the palace, and the other palace servants left tactfully. He pulled aside the pearl curtain, and with a rustling sound, Li Mi raised his voice: "I don't understand why you like such a vulgar, ugly, and humble woman!"

Li Yuanli leaned back on the dragon chair and said calmly, "She is the best woman in the world."

Li Mi was stunned, he couldn't believe his ears. "That Yuan Xier is arrogant, slick, and disrespectful to the imperial power. She is not worthy of you at all! I have never seen you indulge in women before. Are you poisoned?"

Li Yuanli sighed: "I am not worthy of her."

Li Mi seemed to be hearing a fairy tale.

A look of bewilderment appeared on his young and tender face. He said, "Are you ill? If you are seriously ill, you might as well let me sit on the throne!"

Li Mi was just speaking in anger, but the man on the dragon chair suddenly smiled. Li Yuanli asked, "Are you serious?"

Li Mi fell silent for a moment.

The 18-year-old boy, like a young tiger with its fur standing on end, lowered his noble head and said dully, "Don't take it seriously."

Li Yuanli had stood up slowly. He was wearing a black dragon robe with gold embroidery, had no beard, and his age was unrecognizable. His eyes were like the deep sea, filled with majesty left over from the long years.

He walked along the long white jade steps and came in front of Li Mi.

Li Yuanli looked down at the young tiger and said, "Do you know why I spared your life back then?"

Li Mi said sullenly, “I don’t know.”

The outside world believed that the relationship between the Ninth Prince Li Mi and Li Yuanli was very bad. After all, Li Yuanli personally killed Li Mi's biological parents and massacred the royal family.

It can be said to be a blood feud.

But Li Mi did not bear a grudge against Li Yuanli.

After all, before Li Yuanli appeared, he was just the least favored little prince in the harem of Nanchu. He had a good memory since he was a child, and he clearly remembered that he was locked in a pigsty by his cowardly mother.

He remembered fighting with the piglets for food, the shrill laughter of the beautiful concubines, and the fat white maggots that grew in the pigsty during the hot summer days and crawled all over his little hands and feet.

It was Li Yuanli who took him out of the pigsty.

It was Li Yuanli who gave him the first full meal in his life.

Without this man, he might have drowned in the pigsty or been strangled to death by his biological mother long ago.

During these years, Li Yuanli treated him harshly, forcing him to practice martial arts, study hard, travel everywhere, and kill and burn people - but he never killed him.

Li Mi's feelings towards Li Yuanli were complicated. He could neither feel gratitude nor resentment.

Li Yuanli patted his shoulder, his voice lazily: "I have to leave the palace for a while, you will supervise the country on my behalf. If I can't come back, you can ascend the throne. The new emperor of Qing will ascend the throne at the age of sixteen, and you are no worse than him."

Li Mi frowned and looked at Li Yuanli's face suspiciously: "Are you sick? You are talking nonsense!"

Of course Li Mi wanted to inherit the throne.

But in his expectation, he would have to wait at least another ten years. After all, Li Yuanli in front of him did not look old, but was in his prime and full of energy.

Li Yuanli: "Maybe he is ill...Remember to review the memorials on the table, and send someone to copy them at the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Li Yuanli put his hands behind his back, left the Council Hall and walked towards the Changle Palace.

Inside the hall, Li Mi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised his voice and shouted angrily: "I think you are really sick! Very sick! You may die of the disease! If you die, I will not give you a funeral!"

The palace servants all bowed their heads, wishing they could cover their ears.

Come again, come again.

Every time the Ninth Prince came to an audience with the Emperor, he would have a big quarrel with him.

...

...

Changle Palace.

The maid brought the boiled health-preserving medicine. The medicine was warm and had a bitter taste. Shen Wei waved her hand and said, "I don't want to drink it."

No matter how much medicine she takes, it can't cure her illness.
