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

Shen Wei's petite body trembled, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito: "Yes..."

Seeing Shen Wei's cowardly appearance, the princess's depressed mood was relieved. Shen Wei was a daughter of a humble farmer who didn't know etiquette. She was lucky enough to be favored by the prince. She was not really an enemy.

The carriage of Prince Yan's Mansion drove smoothly and finally stopped in front of the gate of the Princess' Mansion.

Shen Wei and the princess got out of the car.

The Qing Kingdom had only one princess, so she was naturally doted on. After Princess Zhaoyang came of age, the Qing Emperor built a magnificent princess mansion for her, located on the edge of the imperial city.

Zhaoyang moved into the princess's mansion and her bedroom was also retained in the imperial palace. Zhaoyang could return to the palace to live at any time.

Today is Princess Zhaoyang's birthday, and the palace is bustling with noble ladies and girls coming to celebrate. Shen Wei humbly follows behind the princess and walks into the princess's mansion.

As soon as I stepped into the door, a little girl of about five or six suddenly ran towards me. The little girl was very pretty, wearing a pink and white skirt, and looked very cute.

The little girl bowed respectfully to the princess, raised her little head, and asked eagerly: "Nanzhi pays her respects to the princess. Princess, didn't Nanzhi's mother come today?"

Shen Wei was watching secretly from the side.

Could this little girl be Li Nanzhi, the daughter of Liu Ruyan's concubine? It is said that she was sent to be raised by the Crown Princess two years ago.

The princess said calmly, "Your mother doesn't like crowds, so she won't attend the banquet."

It's none of my business, so I'll just ignore it. The princess naturally wouldn't say anything good for Liu Ruyan.

Li Nanzhi hung her head in disappointment.

She seemed unwilling to give up, and secretly looked behind her, trying to find her mother. When she didn't see the figure she had been thinking about day and night, tears of grievance suddenly appeared in her big dark eyes.

Her mother really doesn't want her anymore.

Li Nanzhi lowered her head and turned away in disappointment. The old nanny who took care of her followed closely behind, carefully protecting the young Li Nanzhi.

Shen Wei followed the princess and continued to walk towards the main hall of the princess's mansion. As they walked, another Cheng Yaojin appeared halfway.

Prince Heng embraced a beautiful but strong concubine, waved the white jade fan in his hand, and smiled and bowed to the princess: "Oh, it turns out to be my second sister-in-law. The clothes my second sister-in-law is wearing today are very well embroidered, not worse than those of the old concubine in the cold palace."

Everyone in the court knew that Prince Yan and Prince Heng were sworn enemies.

King Heng couldn't defeat King Yan in the court, so he took a different approach. Every time he saw King Yan's wives and concubines, he would mock them in a sarcastic way. Today, the princess wore a dark-colored brocade shirt with ancient patterns, which was quite dignified and elegant.

But Prince Heng insisted on ridiculing the clothes for being old-fashioned.

The princess said calmly: "Prince Heng, please don't make fun of the concubines in the cold palace. They are also your elders."

Prince Heng clicked his tongue.

His delicate and flying peach blossom eyes slid to Shen Wei behind the princess. Shen Wei was dressed in plain clothes today, timidly lowering her head, looking particularly timid, as if she had never seen a big scene before.

However, King Heng had witnessed the brutal scene of Shen Wei killing a wild boar with her own hands, and he did not believe that Shen Wei was a cowardly woman.

It's all pretend!

This woman is so good at pretending! Looking at the princess's self-righteous and silly look, I'm afraid she hasn't discovered Shen Wei's treacherous mind yet.

Shen Wei never raised her head, and followed the princess awkwardly towards the main banquet hall. She could sense that Prince Heng's eyes were always on her back.

Shen Wei glanced at King Heng secretly and saw the pretty concubine beside King Heng... The concubine looked good, but she looked a little strong? Especially those strong biceps, which could not be hidden by the thin sleeves.

Tsk, Prince Heng's taste is getting weirder and weirder...

Only when Shen Wei's back was no longer in his sight did Prince Heng slowly embrace the beautiful concubine at his side. His new concubine was a woman that the palace steward had found after going through untold hardships.

She can ride a horse, kill pigs, make barbecue, and is also quite pretty - she is the daughter of a butcher.

Prince Heng was quite satisfied at first and doted on this concubine. But now when he saw Shen Wei, the balance in Prince Heng's heart was unbalanced.

He found that he couldn't find a suitable substitute. Shen Wei's cleverness and cunningness could not be imitated by any substitute.

Shen Wei doesn't have strong biceps either...

"Forget it, I'll ask the housekeeper to find a new one later." Prince Heng waved a white jade fan, put his arm around his concubine's waist, and slowly walked into the birthday banquet.

If life is boring, having an interesting concubine can add some joy to the boring days.

...

Shen Wei had a low status, so she naturally could not sit in the front row. The maid arranged for Shen Wei to sit at the very end.

Shen Wei played the role of an obedient concubine in the palace throughout the whole process. She sat quietly, did not attract attention, and did not look around.

The young eunuch at the door shouted, "Minister of Rites Yan Yunting has arrived."

Shen Wei took a breath and secretly raised her eyelids. Today is Princess Zhaoyang's birthday. If Yan Yunting was sane, he would not have brought Tan Tairou here.

Led by the eunuch of the princess's mansion, the young Minister of Rites, Yan Yunting, walked in slowly. He was dressed in a dark brocade robe, and his steps were steady, exuding an elegant and scholarly air.

There was only a young servant in blue behind him.

Shen Wei looked at the boy and was relieved after she confirmed that he was not Tan Tai Rou in man's clothing. Yan Yunting was smart enough not to bring Tan Tai Rou with him.

"Yan Yunting!" Princess Zhaoyang came over after hearing the news. There was undisguised love in her eyes and her steps were as light as a bird.

Yan Yunting bowed politely and said gently, "Your Highness, Princess, how are you?"

Not seeing the annoying Tan Tairou, Zhao Yang's eyes curved into beautiful crescents, her pretty face flushed, and she couldn't wait to speak: "This princess is very good, what birthday gift did you bring me today? I want to see it."

Yan Yunting raised his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him.

Today was her birthday, so Zhaoyang naturally dressed up. She wore the colorful feathered dress bestowed by the emperor, a golden hairpin on her head, and a flower ornament on her forehead. She was born beautiful, so she naturally outshone the crowd in her gorgeous dress.

Yan Yunting was lost in thought. A few years ago, Zhaoyang was still a short little girl who liked to follow him; in the blink of an eye, she had become a bright and beautiful woman, famous in Yanjing.

If it weren't for Rou'er in his heart, Yan Yunting might have married Zhaoyang.

"What are you daydreaming about? Where is this princess' gift?" Zhaoyang urged.

Yan Yunting lowered his eyes and took out a small brocade box with exquisite patterns from his sleeve: "I was in a hurry to go out, so I brought a small gift. I hope the princess will not despise it."
