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

Anyway, the vegetable garden is not big, so it won’t take long.

Zhaoyang also observed that Shen Wei's face was whiter and tenderer than hers. It must be because Shen Wei often grew vegetables and sweated that she had such good skin.

Zhaoyang held the hoe, recalling the method Shen Wei taught her, and started to grow vegetables step by step.

After working for half an hour, the seedlings were finally planted.

Zhaoyang wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the crooked seedlings. An indescribable sense of accomplishment surged in his heart - he was very happy and relaxed.

Looking in the mirror again, I saw my rosy face, which was pretty. After planting the vegetables and wiping the sweat from his forehead, Zhaoyang started to have breakfast.

As a noble princess, Zhaoyang's breakfast was naturally rich, with a large table full of delicious food. However, Zhaoyang was always picky about food, and in the past she would only eat half a bowl of rice porridge for breakfast.

Perhaps because growing vegetables was too tiring today, Zhaoyang was hungry. Under Yun'er's shocked gaze, Zhaoyang drank two full bowls of grain porridge, ate half a plate of ham, and half a plate of fruit.

Yun Er was stunned, and suddenly thought of the strange recipe provided by Shen Wei...

Could it be that Shen Wei is a miracle doctor?

-

Ever since Princess Zhaoyang went to the "Weixuebingcheng" shop, the business has become more and more prosperous.

After the shed for selling citron syrup was set up, ordinary people can also taste the delicious syrup.

Ye Qiu Shuang calculated every single penny of the shop's daily revenue and asked someone to pass it to Shen Wei.

Shen Wei sat leisurely on a recliner in the Glazed Pavilion, with a glass of sour and refreshing citron water beside her. She flipped through the account book at a glance. According to this process, the cost of the store investment will be filled soon. By then, she, the boss behind the scenes, only needs to lie down and a large amount of money will be deposited into the account every day.

It’s so fun to make money.

There is nothing happier in the world than making money.

In addition to the account book, Ye Qiushuang also sent a letter. In the letter, Ye Qiushuang described an incident that happened recently.

[The owner of Zhang Fu Ji next door was unwilling to see his business taken away, so he secretly sent his staff to steal ingredients from the kitchen in the middle of the night, hoping to replicate the same dessert. Ye Qiu Shuang was well prepared, and ambushed the thief with his staff, and beat him up and threw him out.

Boss Zhang is still unwilling to give up, so he secretly bribes a customer to "pretend to have food poisoning" in order to create false news that the desserts in Boss Ye's shop are poisonous.

After the fraudulent customer was selected and Boss Zhang was hesitating whether to implement the plan, Ye Qiu Shuang led his men to break into the room and laid out the evidence that Boss Zhang had bribed the customer.

Boss Zhang was horrified and dared not move. At the same time, he was also convinced by Ye Qiushuang's ability to plan ahead. He knew he had made a mistake and was willing to go to the government to confess his crime, but he hoped that Ye Qiushuang would take in the old friends in his shop. 】

After reading the letter, Shen Wei asked Aunt Rong, "How does Shopkeeper Ye want to deal with Boss Zhang? Send him to the authorities?"

Madam Rong spoke slowly, "Shopkeeper Ye said that Boss Zhang started from scratch and was able to build Zhang Fu Ji to its current level, which is very admirable. Wei Xue Bing Cheng has high-quality dessert recipes and great popularity; Zhang Fu Ji has mature and complete store management experience and a larger store area. Instead of fighting to the death, it is better to cooperate for mutual benefit."

Ye Qiu Shuang checked Boss Zhang's background.

This is a businessman with a good conscience. He is very good to his shop assistants and has a pair of young children at home. If he had not been forced into a desperate situation, Boss Zhang would not have taken the risk to deal with Wei Xue Bing Cheng.

He used to look down on female businessmen, believing that women should stay at home to raise children. After seeing Ye Qiushuang's outstanding business ability, he changed his mind and even wanted to entrust the old employees in his store to Ye Qiushuang.

Shen Wei put down the account book and said, "For Princess Zhaoyang's birthday banquet, let Shopkeeper Ye and Boss Zhang cooperate to make desserts. If the cooperation goes well, we can cooperate further in the future. Aunt Rong, you must remind Shopkeeper Ye to keep a backup plan for everything."

Madam Rong nodded and said respectfully, "I will convey it immediately. Shopkeeper Ye is very smart and will understand what the master means."

Aunt Rong was about to leave, and before leaving she saw the glass of citrate water in Shen Wei's hand.

There were five or six slices of citron in the small white jade cup. Madam Rong frowned and asked, "Doesn't the master feel it's sour?"

Shen Wei slowly got up from the chair and stretched.

The operation of the dessert shop was handed over to Ye Qiushuang; she also needed to find a trustworthy person to manage her plantation in Nanshan. But at present, Shen Wei had not thought of a suitable candidate, so she had to temporarily hand it over to Rong Mama.

Shen Wei still has her own things to do.

Princess Zhaoyang's birthday is coming soon, and Shen Wei has to prepare a satisfactory gift for her. Giving a gift to a princess is not an easy task.

If you give her expensive gold, silver or jade articles, the princess will not like them as she has seen them so many times; if you give her cheap or fun things, they are too cheap and not presentable.

Shen Wei took a sip of the particularly sour citrate water and fell into deep thought.

...

The palace garden was relatively cool in the summer, but there were many mosquitoes. Xuemei followed Liu Ruyan silently.

Xuemei has learned her lesson now. She made a wormwood sachet by herself and secretly took a bath with mosquito repellent herbs last night. Therefore, when Xuemei took a walk with Liu Ruyan today, mosquitoes were not very close to her.

Liu Ruyan walked to the edge of the lotus pond and looked at the blooming lotus flowers with her beautiful eyes.

In the hot summer, Liu Ruyan's white dress fluttered as she stood by the lotus pond, looking like a fairy from Guanghan Palace descending to earth, very beautiful.

But Xuemei had no intention of appreciating it. She kindly reminded him, "Master, Princess Zhaoyang's birthday banquet is coming soon. I heard that the Crown Princess will bring Young Master Nanzhi to the banquet. Master, how about we go and take a look?"

Liu Ruyan shook her head calmly, looked at the blooming red lotus, and said sadly: "I don't like the hustle and bustle. The hustle and bustle belongs to them, and I have nothing."

Xuemei: "...but Master Nanzhi really misses you."

The Crown Princess was quite nice to Li Nanzhi, but after all, she had her own daughter to take care of. How could she care for Li Nanzhi wholeheartedly?

After all, a foster mother is not as good as a biological mother.

But Liu Ruyan was unmoved. Her slender pale fingers brushed across the lotus petals, tears seeping from the corners of her eyes: "It's all fate, no one can fight against fate. It's better for Nanzhi to follow the Crown Princess than to follow a good-for-nothing mother like me..."

Xuemei lowered her head silently and sighed helplessly in her heart.

Poor little Nanzhi, she is kind and cute, but she has a mother named Liu Ruyan who is obsessed with sadness and melancholy.

...

Summer passed quietly, and Princess Zhaoyang's eighteenth birthday banquet arrived. On the day of the princess' birthday, at dawn, Shen Wei got up early to wash and dress.

Normally, Shen Wei, a humble concubine, was not eligible to attend the princess' birthday banquet. But Shen Wei had saved Zhaoyang, and the queen personally issued an order to allow Shen Wei to attend the banquet.

Shen Wei went with the princess to the princess's residence for a banquet.

The protagonist of the birthday banquet was naturally Princess Zhaoyang. So Shen Wei deliberately dressed very low-key, wearing an emerald-colored Qianshui skirt with layers of hems, low-key but not cheap. Her hair accessories were also simple, two emerald hairpins, and she wore very light makeup, looking simple and dignified.

The carriage from Prince Yan's Palace moved slowly.

In the luxurious carriage, the princess, wearing a dark brocade shirt with ancient patterns, sat at the main seat. Shen Wei sat beside her with her head lowered, looking very cautious.

The princess took a sip of Biluochun and looked at Shen Wei's face. She was very young and beautiful, with fair complexion and smooth skin.

The princess thought about her face. She had been taking care of her two sons for a long time, which made her depressed and unhappy. She lacked maintenance, so although she was young, she already had clear wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

She doesn't even have the courage to look in the mirror now.

The princess glanced at Shen Wei in the corner and said coldly, "Shen, when you arrive at the princess's mansion, please do not lose your manners."
