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

Shen Wei showed a simple smile, with an indifferent attitude, and deliberately said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I am in good health. My sister-in-law who used to live next door to me was able to go to work in the fields the day after giving birth - Caiping, bring me another bowl of iced yogurt, the colder the better."

Caiping silently went to get the ice cream.

King Yan: ...

Prince Yan rubbed his brows. His Weiwei was indeed different from his other wives and concubines, but this also made Prince Yan more worried.

Shen Wei likes to grow vegetables, swing on the swing, climb the ladder to see the bird's nest, play in the water, eat ice cream, and accompany him to have fun at night... Now that Shen Wei is pregnant, she must never do these laborious and harmful things again!

Unfortunately, this was Shen Wei’s first pregnancy and she had no idea about how to take care of herself during pregnancy.

Prince Yan couldn't help but feel a sense of responsibility - Weiwei doesn't know how to take care of herself during pregnancy, so he wants to teach her.

Prince Yan put down his chopsticks and said, "From now on, change the dishes on the table to ones that are good for keeping the baby safe and healthy."

Shen Wei was a little confused: "But in my hometown, the sisters-in-law in the village can work even when they are pregnant!"

Seeing her innocent look, the King of Yan wanted to teach her a lesson: "You are my woman, and you are carrying my child. How can my child suffer like that before it is born?"

Shen Wei nodded as if she understood, and then showed a sweet and trusting smile: "Your Majesty will definitely not harm me, I will follow your arrangements!"

King Yan felt a deep sense of pride in being trusted by the woman he loved.

Seeing Shen Wei give up the fried meatballs and obediently drink a bowl of bird's nest porridge, King Yan was quite satisfied.

After dinner, Shen Wei took King Yan to the waterside pavilion to cool off. The moonlight was bright, the breeze was blowing, and the lotus pond sent bursts of fragrance. Shen Wei leaned against the railing and reached out to pick the fresh green lotus pods.

Prince Yan's eyelids twitched as he watched.

Other pregnant wives and concubines took good care of themselves during their pregnancies and walked carefully. But Shen Wei was lying on the railing picking lotus pods! What if she fell into the water and caught a cold, and what if something happened to the baby in her belly?

"Don't move, accompany me to enjoy the cool air." King Yan carried Shen Wei back and pressed her on the reclining chair beside him.

Shen Wei's eyes widened: "I picked a lotus pod! I want to peel the lotus seeds for the prince."

Look how thoughtful she is. Even when she was pregnant, she personally picked lotus pods for King Yan.

Prince Yan stroked her still flat belly and said, "The first three months of pregnancy are the most unstable, so don't do anything reckless."

Shen Wei raised her willow-shaped eyebrows slightly, and then looked at King Yan in admiration, her eyes sparkling: "Your Highness, you are a man, I didn't expect you to know so much about women's pregnancy, Your Highness is really knowledgeable!"

The corners of Prince Yan's lips curled up.

Being admired and trusted by the woman you love, the sense of accomplishment is so great.

The cool night breeze blew, and Shen Wei obediently accompanied the King of Yan to enjoy the cool air. The King of Yan was upset by his pregnant wives and concubines, and subconsciously remembered a lot of knowledge about women's pregnancy. So, he put his knowledge into practice and told Shen Wei about the precautions for women's pregnancy. Shen Wei listened with admiration and praised him from time to time.

Men all have a common problem: they all think they are very smart and don't like women who are smarter than them.

Shen Wei pretended not to understand and let Prince Yan take the initiative to participate in her pregnancy protection work. Prince Yan felt a sense of participation and accomplishment, and he also developed feelings for the child in Shen Wei's belly.

After all, the child was the result of King Yan's personal "cultivation".

Just like the vegetables he planted in the vegetable garden, King Yan developed feelings for the things he had put in effort for.

...

While Prince Yan and Shen Wei were chatting in the waterside pavilion, under the cover of night, Cai Lian was walking back to the Glazed Pavilion carrying a box of cakes.

Passing by the garden, Cailian met Xuemei, the maid of Qixue Pavilion.

"Xuemei, where are you going so late?" Cailian took the initiative to greet her.

The two were old acquaintances, having entered the palace together as maids. Xuemei was lucky, because her name contained the character "梅", so she was chosen by Liu Ruyan of Qixue Pavilion to serve as a maid.

Cai Lian was unlucky and had no background or connections, so she could only be assigned to serve the low-ranking concubines in the mansion. Her master changed one after another until she was assigned to serve Shen Wei, and Cai Lian's life finally became stable.

"It's Sister Cailian." Xuemei forced a smile.

Cai Lian saw that she had a worried look on her face, so she asked kindly, "Xue Mei, did Concubine Liu give you a hard time?"

Xuemei sighed helplessly and told the story.

It turned out that Xuemei couldn't stand the mosquito bites, so she secretly bathed with wormwood and carried a mosquito repellent sachet with her. Unexpectedly, the smell of wormwood was smelled by Liu Ruyan today.

Liu Ruyan didn't like the smell, so she asked Xuemei to go back and take a bath, and also rewarded her with a box of "plum blossom ointment".

The plum blossom ointment has an elegant smell, but it really doesn't repel mosquitoes...

Cai Lian thought for a moment and gave a suggestion: "You should bathe with mint leaves, put some angelica and camphor in the sachet, and apply a layer of plum blossom ointment on the outside to cover up the smell."

Xuemei nodded helplessly, looking at Cailian's round and fair face, and envied her from the bottom of her heart: "It can only be like this. I really envy you for following a good master. Now that Master Shen is pregnant, her favor will only be greater."

Who among the maids and servants in the palace doesn't want to work in Liuli Pavilion? Shen Wei is a rare good master. As long as you work hard, Shen Wei will definitely reward you.

Cai Lian raised the corner of her mouth: "Yes, my master is indeed a rare good master. It's getting late, and I still need to bring some snacks back."

Cailian and Xuemei bid farewell.

Walking under the bright moonlight, Cailian returned to the Glazed Pavilion. Looking at the beautiful fish lanterns on the eaves of the Glazed Pavilion, Cailian felt an indescribable sense of pride and satisfaction.

When she was assigned to the remote Fangfei Garden, Cailian had a prejudice against Shen Wei. But now, Cailian likes to follow Shen Wei more and more.

The palace used to be lifeless. Maids worked at dawn every day, waited for their masters to rest at dusk, and returned to the crowded maids' room late at night with tired feet. The days repeated themselves day after day, and there was no future in sight.

But since following Shen Wei, Cai Lian felt that every day was happy and fulfilling. She worked very hard and her mind became more and more clever.

Shen Wei is the bright sun. If you get close to her, you will feel the sunshine and have a wonderful feeling that your life is fulfilling.

"Caiping, I brought back the snacks that the master wanted!" Cailian walked into the yard happily.

On the other side, Xuemei walked under the pale moonlight and returned to the pale Qixue Pavilion. Liu Ruyan was leaning on the couch reading a book, with a waterfall of black hair scattered on her shoulders.

The yellow candlelight, the black hair, the snow-white pajamas, looking from afar, there is a kind of eerie and cold feeling.

Xuemei silently wiped away the goose bumps on the back of her hand and returned to the study: "Master, it is getting dark. I will help you to rest."

Liu Ruyan put down the Book of Songs in her hand and said, "I heard that Shen is pregnant?"

Xuemei nodded: "It is said that she is already one month pregnant."

Liu Ruyan smiled sadly: "The prince has many children, he may not care. Children are just icing on the cake for him, dispensable."

During the two years when Liu Ruyan and Prince Yan were in love, they were inseparable and in harmony. Later, Liu Ruyan became pregnant, and she devoted herself to taking care of the fruit of their love, and also wanted the prince to spend more time with her.

At first, the Prince of Yan came to accompany her every now and then. But later, the Prince always declined due to being busy with official duties.

Official business, official business, always official business...The Prince of Yan has many capable ministers under his command, and he can completely leave it to his ministers to handle.

After all, it's just that I don't care about her.
