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

There is no man who doesn't like to be admired, and King Yan is no exception.

Looking at Shen Wei's sparkling eyes and the look of unconcealable admiration, King Yan's self-esteem was greatly satisfied.

"From now on, let the servants do this kind of thing. Don't put yourself in danger." Prince Yan hooked Shen Wei's nose.

Shen Wei was a little helpless: "Your Highness, there are only two maids in Fangfei Garden. Cai Lian and Cai Ping are timid, but I am brave. I am the only one who can climb the ladder."

There are many rules and strict hierarchy in the royal palace.

According to their status, they are divided into: princess, concubine, concubine, maid, and servant girl.

Shen Wei's identity was a concubine, and she could only be allocated a small courtyard and two maids to serve her.

Prince Yan thought of the groups of maids and servants in the princess's courtyard, and then looked at the two thin maids beside Shen Wei, and felt pity for her for a moment.

The Prince of Yan barely hesitated and ordered Fugui: "Tomorrow, pick a nanny with rich experience and two capable young eunuchs and send them to Fangfei Garden to serve."

Fugui was stunned.

This is the standard configuration for a concubine!

But Fugui didn't dare to dissuade him. As a servant, he would never dare to go against his master's wishes.

Fugui said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have made a note of it and will arrange it tomorrow."

Shen Wei's pink lips are slightly curled at the corners.

This is the treatment of a favored concubine. As long as she is favored, she can get benefits from the King of Yan.

She really loves the reward from King Yan...!

Prince Yan held Shen Wei's warm and soft hand and did not go into the house immediately. Instead, he couldn't wait to see the vegetables he had planted with his own hands.

After the spring rain, the seeds of radish and cabbage have not yet sprouted, but they have already shown signs of breaking out of their shells. As for the eggplant, pepper, tomato and other vegetable seedlings, they have grown stronger after being washed by the spring rain.

King Yan has begun looking forward to the day when the seedlings bear fruit.

When the vegetables he planted matured, he would taste them himself and then give some to his brother the Crown Prince, his father the Emperor, and his mother the Empress Dowager.

My father values ​​agriculture, so he will definitely be happy.

Shen Wei accompanied King Yan to check the vegetables. The seedlings planted by King Yan were more vigorous, while those planted by Shen Wei were stunted.

Shen Wei frowned in distress: "My concubine and the prince are planting vegetables at the same time, why do the prince's vegetables grow better?"

He pretended to be confused on the surface, but his mind was as clear as a mirror.

Prince Yan’s vegetables are better, because Shen Wei asked Cai Lian to secretly fertilize Prince Yan’s vegetables in the middle of the night.

Otherwise, with Prince Yan's half-baked vegetable-growing skills, these vegetables would have died long ago.

It's a pity that King Yan didn't know about this and still thought he was good at growing vegetables. He put his arm around Shen Wei's slender waist and curled his lips slightly: "Weiwei is weak, the seedlings are planted too shallow, so they won't grow well."

Shen Wei's cheeks were puffed with anger. A cunning look flashed across her big black eyes as she looked at the vegetables grown by King Yan with deliberate ill intentions.

All the thoughts are written on his face.

She planned to wait until King Yan’s vegetables were ripe and then steal them!

King Yan could see through her thoughts. On the one hand, he thought Shen Wei was innocent and cute, but on the other hand, he was secretly on guard against her.

This little girl wants to steal my food!

I have to come to Fangfei Garden frequently to supervise and not let her do anything secretly.

After looking at the dishes, the two walked into the house holding hands.

As soon as the door was closed, I started to feel bored.

The table in the bedroom had collapsed before, so the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a more solid rosewood table. Shen Wei sat shyly on the edge of the table and hugged Prince Yan's neck affectionately.

The beauty was like a painting under the lamp, and Prince Yan bent down and kissed her gently.

Caiping and Cailian were standing outside the door as usual, and the two maids blushed when they heard this.

Water was boiled several times at night and brought into the house for the two masters to bathe.

After Cai Lian prepared the bath water, she secretly glanced at the bed with the apricot-colored bed curtains scattered around. Only a white and delicate hand was hanging limply behind the layers of bed curtains.

Hands turn red.

Silent and ambiguous.

Cailian only took one look and her pretty face flushed. The prince and the master were playing so well...

Cai Lian tactfully lowered her head and hunched over to go out to keep watch.

Cai Lian had a feeling that her mistress Shen would be favored for a long time. The whole palace was waiting to see the joke of mistress Shen, and they were going to be disappointed.

In the next half month, Shen Wei continued to enjoy great glory. Although she was still a concubine, the configuration of Fangfei Garden was exactly the same as that of a concubine.

The King of Yan gave her rewards continuously, and the princess also gave her some gifts to commend her for her service.

During the fifteen days, Prince Yan stayed in Shen Wei's Fangfei Garden for seven days, stayed at the princess's place for two days, stayed at Liu Ruyan's place for one day, and spent the remaining days in the prince's East Palace.

Shen Wei was not idle either. Apart from serving King Yan, she spent the rest of her time working hard to improve herself - fitness, health care, beauty, and learning etiquette from the new Madam Rong.

That day, Cai Lian hurried in and reported the princess's order to Shen Wei: "Master, the princess wants to see you."

In the room, Shen Wei was applying a facial mask in front of the mirror.

Ancient technology was limited, and it was impossible to make modern whitening masks. But as the king of curls, Shen Wei was naturally knowledgeable.

She was born in a poor family in her previous life. She went from a small mountain village to a modern city and was admitted to the best university in the country. She ranked first in her major for four years. She studied business and took beauty courses to improve her manners.

During the beauty class, the professor talked about ancient beauty methods and half-jokingly said to the students: "Learn more knowledge about making facial masks, soaps, penicillin extraction, and sugar. If you travel through time, you may still need them."

Shen Wei studied very hard, and she never expected that she would actually put it to use once she traveled through time.

It is not too difficult to make traditional facial masks. Use medicinal materials such as black clover, soap beans, radix trichosanthis, lindera officinalis, and angelica dahurica, grind them into powder, mix them with water, and apply them on your face for one incense stick. Then wash it off. Your skin will slowly become smooth, white, and as smooth as a baby's.

Shen Wei was applying a facial mask and asked lazily, "What does the princess want to talk to me about?"

Cai Lian said, "The spring banquet of the palace is coming. The princess sent someone to buy a batch of fine fabrics to be distributed to all the women in the harem."

Shen Wei was a little disappointed: "Let me wash my face and I'll go right away."

It turns out it's just allocating fabric.

She thought that she had been too popular recently, which caused the princess to dislike her and wanted to make things difficult for her.

Shen Wei found it very boring and not challenging at all. The wives and concubines in the backyard of the palace were all indifferent to fame and fortune, and they were just letting things go. There was really no place for her, the king of rolls, to use her skills.

Hey, how lonely it is to be invincible.

After packing up, Shen Wei walked out of Fangfei Garden and went to Kunyu Courtyard to pay her respects to the princess.

Passing by the flower room of the palace, Shen Wei did not notice that a maid in the flower room was looking at her with jealous eyes.

"Shen Wei, you are so glorious." Zhang Yue held a flower pot in her hand and looked at Shen Wei who was passing by with jealousy on her face.

Shen Wei was favored by the prince, and her status rose rapidly. Her food, clothing and daily expenses were only worse than those of the princess. Looking at herself, Zhang Yue lowered her head to look at her rough fingers.

From working hard every day, her hands became calloused and her beautiful fair face began to turn yellow.

Squeezed in the smelly maid's room at night, Zhang Yue would also feel confused - if she had agreed to be the prince's concubine, would she have the same glory as Shen Wei?

My own failure is a pity, but my colleague’s success is even more heartbreaking.

Zhang Yue gritted her teeth and could only keep comforting herself: "The prince's love is short-lived. Shen Wei will fall out of favor sooner or later."

...

Shen Wei went to Princess Yan's courtyard. She arrived the latest.

It wasn't that she was late on purpose, but that the princess deliberately notified her last. Shen Wei laughed secretly in her heart. This princess seemed to be as calm as a chrysanthemum, but she was quite cunning.

Looking around, Shen Wei saw Liu Ruyan in white, the chubby concubine Zhang Miaoyu, the worried concubine Liu Qiaoer, and a dozen concubines and maids. Everyone was chatting, and the yard was very lively.

When Shen Wei appeared, the yard suddenly became quiet.

Everyone's eyes turned to Shen Wei. Shen Wei was dressed brilliantly, extremely bright, with a face as beautiful as a peach and a graceful look.

In contrast, the other wives and concubines were dressed beautifully, but they had no makeup on their faces and their expressions looked dull.

Shen Wei knelt and saluted: "Greetings to the princess, and to all the sisters."

The princess sat at the main seat and said in a friendly manner, "Now that everyone is here, let's start distributing the materials. Shen, the prince has been very fond of you recently, so you will be the first one to choose."

Shen Wei looked terrified: "I dare not, with my status and position, how dare I be the first to choose."

Letting her be the first to take action is a deliberate attempt to make trouble for her.

The princess gently held the teacup and took a sip slowly: "The prince loves you the most, so you can certainly bear it."

If Shen Wei refused again, it would be disrespectful to the princess. She had no choice but to kneel and say, "Then I will respectfully obey your command."

She was the first to come forward and select the fabric.

His eyes lingered on the fabrics.

The quality of fabrics can be seen with the naked eye. Good fabrics are radiant and sparkle in the sun. Inferior fabrics are dull and have ugly patterns.

Shen Wei looked around and pointed at the best piece of cloth, saying excitedly, "Cai Lian, we want this piece of cloth."

This is the most expensive floating brocade, and there is only one piece of it. The main color is light silver, the fabric is soft, and it glows beautifully in the sunlight.

Cai Lian knew what was good. She secretly winked at Shen Wei: No! Only princesses and princes are qualified to use this kind of cloth!

Although Shen Wei was favored by the prince, she was just a lowly concubine. How could she wear expensive brocade?

"Sister Shen Wei, you should change to another piece of cloth." Concubine Zhang Miaoyu reminded kindly.

Zhang Miaoyu is plump but has a kind heart.

She couldn't bear to watch her beautiful sister dig her own grave.

Shen Wei turned around and looked at the crowd. Liu Ruyan showed sympathy, Liu Qiaoer looked disdainful, and the other concubines just watched the fun.

Only Zhang Miaoyu spoke up to remind them.

It's also a good intention.

Shen Wei retracted her gaze, with a completely arrogant look of a villain who had achieved success: "I want this one, Cailian, keep it."

Cai Lian gritted her teeth and held the cloth, her heart sinking.

My Lord, there is no hope...

"You have good eyes." The princess took a sip of Biluochun, seemingly praising Shen Wei but actually hiding the sarcasm at the corner of her lips.

Shen Wei was born in poverty and has a short-sighted vision.

He dares to take whatever good thing he sees. He is so greedy.

A beautiful but stupid woman will not be able to enjoy her glory in the palace for many days.
