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

"Then... let's try it at our home." Fugui couldn't refuse, so he followed Cailian's instructions, sowed some cabbage seeds, and planted an eggplant seedling.

After planting the vegetables, Fugui suddenly felt a strange sense of accomplishment when looking at the seedlings in the garden.

Growing vegetables seems to be quite fun...

Over there, Shen Wei and King Yan had already finished planting vegetables.

Shen Wei took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and carefully wiped the mud off the hands of the King of Yan: "Your Highness, cabbage seedlings and radishes grow fast. They will sprout in about five days and mature in a month. Eggplants and tomatoes will be slower and will bear fruit in two or three months."

Nearby was a charming and delicious beauty, and next to him were the vegetables he had grown with his own hands. King Yan's heart was slightly touched.

My heart feels warm.

That night, Prince Yan naturally stayed at Shen Wei's place. The two of them made a fuss until midnight and called for water five or six times.

At dawn in the morning, Prince Yan got up and put on his clothes. He did not wake up the sleeping Shen Wei. He knew that he was too strong, and it was rare for Shen Wei to play with him until late at night.

Not only does Shen Wei fit in well with him, she also knows many alluring poses that are simply irresistible.

The King of Yan walked lightly and prepared to leave Fangfei Garden. When he passed the lush garden, he suddenly stopped.

He walked to the vegetable garden and looked at the seedlings he had planted yesterday - the cabbage had not sprouted yet, but the eggplant, tomato, garlic and pepper seedlings were growing well.

The leaves are green and lush, which makes them particularly lovable.

Prince Yan gently fiddled with the tender green eggplant seedlings, feeling happy.

Fugui took the opportunity to sneak into the corner and take a look at the vegetables he planted yesterday.

Not long after the King of Yan and his servant left, Shen Wei also got up yawning. She drank half a cup of light salt water, ate a piece of cane sugar, and then prepared to jog.

"Master, you were tired last night, so you'd better not jog this morning." Caiping felt sorry for Shen Wei.

The prince is fierce. The master's voice was hoarse last night and the table collapsed. We have to replace it with a sturdier table today.

Shen Wei clenched her fists and stretched her muscles: "Don't slack off, you must roll it up!"

If you don't run today, and don't run tomorrow, you will only become lazier in the future. Shen Wei, the king of involution, will never let herself slack off!

She started jogging around the yard, exercising on an empty stomach, which is good for reducing fat and boosting metabolism.

Running on an empty stomach may also cause hypoglycemia, so you should eat some sugar to prevent it.

After running and taking a short break, Shen Wei started to eat breakfast. Her breakfast included eggs, fish, oatmeal, ham, rice porridge and some pickles. These foods are rich in protein and good for the body.

This is also the treatment for a concubine.

If Shen Wei wanted to eat something, she could just tell the kitchen in the palace. For the sake of the King of Yan, the chefs would satisfy Shen Wei's request.

When other concubines in the palace wanted to have delicious fish and meat in the morning, the kitchen almost ignored them and only served them according to the quota, and often deducted some of the food.

"Master, why do you let the prince grow vegetables?" Cai Ping asked while serving Shen Wei meal.

Shen Wei took two sips of rice porridge: "Let the prince remember me."

Caiping looked confused.

How could growing vegetables remind the prince of his master?

Shen Wei secretly curled the corners of her lips.

From a psychological point of view, people always have expectations and concerns about things they put their efforts into.

Shen Wei raised her eyes and looked at the clusters of tender green seedlings in the yard, her smile widening.

...

While staying at Shen Wei's place for several days in a row, Prince Yan did not forget the other female members of the royal family in the backyard.

Especially the princess.

The princess is the legal wife of the King of Yan. The King of Yan stays at the princess' place at least twice a month. Today, the prince finished his official duties and stayed at the princess' place at night.

The two of them slept with their clothes on, but there was no sexual intercourse.

The princess leaned on the pillow and told the prince of Yan in a tone of reporting business: "There will be a spring banquet at the palace next month. The crown prince, the fourth princess and the prince Heng will all come to the palace. Your Majesty, I want to go to the tailor shop in Yanjing to buy a batch of new fabrics for the sisters in the palace. You can't wear old clothes at the spring banquet."

The Prince of Yan was still thinking about official business. He had to accompany his brother the Crown Prince to participate in the ploughing ceremony tomorrow.

Prince Yan said casually: "You are the mistress, so you are the one who makes the decision."

The princess lowered her eyes and said, "There is one more thing. Concubine Liu fell into the water and passed out this afternoon. When she woke up, I don't know what stimulated her, but she wanted to die. If you are free tomorrow, please go and see Sister Liu."

Concubine Liu, whose real name was Liu Qiaoer.

She was the childhood sweetheart of the Prince of Yan. After she married the Prince of Yan, she was arrogant and domineering in the palace and bullied other concubines everywhere. It was not until she gave birth to twins two years ago that she became ill and suffered from physical damage. Concubine Liu calmed down a little.

She has been working hard to take care of her health and conserve her energy over the past two years.

The princess guessed that Concubine Liu was preparing to continue to compete for favor. The so-called shock of falling into the water was probably just a means to attract the prince to visit.

"I will visit her tomorrow." Prince Yan also thought of Concubine Liu. It had been a long time since he last visited her.

The maid blew out the lights and the bedroom became quiet.

The princess lay in her quilt, sighing inwardly - Concubine Liu came from a good family and had many ways to win favor, so poor Shen Wei was going to suffer.

Late at night, spring rain began to fall outside the house. The rain fell on the glazed tiles and woke up the King of Yan.

King Yan pricked up his ears to listen to the sound of rain.

For some reason, King Yan suddenly thought of the vegetables he had planted in Fangfei Garden. Spring rain is as precious as oil, and after the rain, the seeds should have sprouted.

King Yan decided to take some time tomorrow to go to Fangfei Garden to see the vegetables he grew!

The spring rain fell lightly, covering the entire city of Yanjing and the major courtyards of the royal palace.

In Liu Ruyan's Qixue Pavilion, the candlelight in the study was still on. The maid Xuemei was drowsy and yawning.

"Master, it's raining. Why don't you take a rest?" Xuemei was so sleepy that she pinched her thigh.

But since the master didn't sleep, she, the maid, couldn't sleep either.

The window was open. Liu Ruyan was wearing a snow-white dress. Her beautiful eyes looked out the window sadly. A trace of sadness crossed her lips: "I don't know how many petals fell in the rain. These flowers are so pitiful. They bloomed for only a few days before being knocked off the branches by the ruthless rain."

Xuemei wanted to bang her head against the wall.

Isn't it normal for petals to fall off?

I want to sleep!

The rain also fell in Concubine Liu's Mingyue Courtyard.

Concubine Liu's personal maid stood at the door, a little worried. Ever since she fell into the water during the day, Concubine Liu had locked herself in the room.

In the room, Concubine Liu curled up on the bed in fear. She looked around in horror, looking at the familiar decorations around her, and then she accepted the fact that she was reborn.

"The heaven has eyes, the heaven has eyes, the heaven has eyes!" Concubine Liu shed two lines of tears and bit the corners of her mouth tightly.

She is still alive!

She was not cut into a human stick!

Concubine Liu curled up, her lips trembling: "I don't want to compete for favor anymore. My children, my family, and my life have all been ruined by that woman."

In her previous life, Concubine Liu relied on her childhood sweetheart status to stir up trouble in the palace. After giving birth to twins, she suffered a serious health loss and had to follow the advice of the imperial physician to take good care of herself.

Two years later, Concubine Liu recovered and pretended to fall into the water, and once again won the favor of the Prince of Yan. She became the woman in the Prince of Yan's mansion, second only to the Princess.

As for the other women in the palace, they all hid themselves in seclusion. Concubine Liu looked down on them from the bottom of her heart. She believed that women who did not compete for favor were nothing but waste.

Later, the prince's family met with disaster, the Prince of Yan ascended the throne, and she was also named a concubine. In the palace, Concubine Liu and the newly-named concubines continued to compete for favor, fighting to the death.

Until that terrible woman entered the palace...

She was beautiful and intelligent, and she immediately captured the emperor's heart and became the most favored concubine in the palace. Concubine Liu fought with her for half a year, and eventually lost her child. She was rejected by the emperor, her family was exiled, and she herself was cut into a human stick.

The concubines who came out of the Qiandi had a good ending because they kept a low profile and did not fight or compete. At least before Concubine Liu died, they all had no worries about food and clothing and lived a safe and smooth life.

Before her death, Concubine Liu finally realized that vying for favor would only make herself a sitting duck.

The princess, Liu Ruyan, and Zhang Miaoyu lived a happy life because they did not fight or compete with each other.

"Thank God for giving me a chance to live again." Concubine Liu's tears rolled down her cheeks and she choked with sobs.

This time, she wants to keep a low profile and be a salted fish.

In the royal palace, no one can always enjoy the exclusive favor. The King of Yan is heartless and he will not fall in love with any woman.
