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

Zhang Miaoyu almost burst into tears, she hurriedly shouted: "Prince! You can't just focus on eating meat for yourself and cut off my meat!"

King Yan frowned and asked, "When did I ever eat meat?"

Zhang Miaoyu snorted, looking unconvinced: "The princess is virtuous. She was worried that Sister Shen Wei would not be able to serve the prince during her pregnancy, so she specially picked a beautiful concubine for the prince. Now that the prince has a new person, isn't that a new beginning?"

When the King of Yan heard her twisted reasoning, he became even more displeased: "Come here, send Concubine Zhang back."

Zhang Miaoyu lowered her head in grievance, took away two bowls of delicious ice yogurt before leaving, and left with her maid Xiangyu.

After leaving the Liuli Pavilion, Zhang Miaoyu looked back at the vibrant Liuli Pavilion courtyard and sighed silently.

Shen Wei generously gave her delicious food. In return, Zhang Miaoyu deliberately mentioned the princess' ugly behavior in front of the prince, which also planted a thorn in the heart of Prince Yan.

"Let's go back and eat some ice cream." A smile appeared on Zhang Miaoyu's face.

Xiang Yu followed behind him and couldn't help but remind him, "Master, the prince asked you to be moderate in your diet."

Zhang Miaoyu smiled and held the ice cream: "Only when you are full can you have the energy to lose weight. I hope Sister Shen Wei can always be favored. She is more attractive to me than the prince."

...

After Zhang Miaoyu left, Prince Yan was in a good mood and accompanied Shen Wei to enjoy the cool air.

The weather was hot, so Prince Yan asked Caiping to serve him some iced cheese, which he ate while reading official documents.

Shen Wei watched eagerly from the side.

She wants to eat too!

"I have asked the imperial physician, and he said that eating ice in summer can easily cause diarrhea." The King of Yan raised a smile.

The taste of a bowl of icy yogurt was not too amazing, but when King Yan saw Shen Wei's eager eyes, he suddenly felt that the bowl of icy yogurt in his hand was extremely delicious.

Sure enough, what others can’t eat is the most delicious.

Shen Wei snorted, and the fan in her hand whirred.

Time passed quickly and it was dark. Shen Wei saw that there were extra dishes on the table, such as radish and pork ribs soup, stir-fried bean sprouts, and boiled fish. These were all dishes that were good for pregnant women.

"Your Highness, I want to eat spicy meatballs." Shen Wei looked very depressed.

King Yan waved his hand: "No."

Shen Wei held a pair of jade chopsticks and said, "But in my hometown, there is really no particular rule for a woman to be pregnant. The neighbor's aunt can still go fishing in the river even though she is pregnant."

Seeing Shen Wei's innocent appearance, King Yan became more stern: "Weiwei, be obedient."

Shen Wei had no choice but to lower her head silently and eat the nutritious radish and pork ribs soup obediently.

Okay, okay, just eat it.

In fact, she had originally planned to switch to these dishes during her pregnancy. But if she took the initiative, it would seem too deliberate; since the King of Yan took the initiative, she just went with the flow and acted.

At night, King Yan and Shen Wei slept on the couch. Shen Wei changed into a thin light silver silk nightgown and lay obediently on the mat, looking at King Yan with her beautiful eyes full of affection.

There was elegant incense burning in the house, and the pink lotus buds in the vase on the desk were about to bloom.

The candlelight was dim. Under the lamp, Shen Wei's eyebrows and eyes were picturesque and her figure was graceful. Prince Yan was deeply moved by her.

"Your Highness." Shen Wei took the initiative to step forward and help Prince Yan change his clothes.

The King of Yan wanted to have sex with Shen Wei as he did in the past. But his eyes fell on Shen Wei's flat belly. Shen Wei now had their child.

The imperial physician repeatedly warned that the fetus was fragile during the early and late stages of pregnancy and that sexual intercourse was strictly prohibited. In previous years, when the wives and concubines of the King of Yan became pregnant, he was not allowed to touch them at all during the early stages of pregnancy.

"I won't touch you since you're pregnant." King Yan sighed and lay down beside Shen Wei with his clothes on.

There was an ice jar in the room to cool it down, so it was unusually cool even in summer. Shen Wei leaned against King Yan, her slender fingers roaming on King Yan's arm, like the touch of a feather.

Shen Wei knew that Prince Yan was at the age of full vigor and vitality, and had strong sexual desires.

He could hold it in like this, and he could endure it once or twice.

Sooner or later, the King of Yan will find other women. Shen Wei doesn't need the King of Yan to accompany her all the time, but at least she must ensure that the King of Yan's attention is on her most of the time.

"Your Highness, please don't move." Shen Wei suddenly showed a sly smile.

You can't have sex during pregnancy, but there are always other ways...

There was surprise in Prince Yan's handsome eyes. Shen Wei looked like a particularly alluring little fox.

The night is long.

-

On the same night, incense and candles were burning slowly in the small Buddhist hall of Kunyu Temple, and the air was filled with the strong smell of fireworks.

The princess was kneeling devoutly in the Buddhist temple, with her hands clasped together and muttering something.

Soon, Madam Liu came in with a young girl, "Princess, the newlyweds are here to pay their respects."

The princess slowly opened her eyes.

She reverently placed a stick of incense in the shrine, holding a string of shiny Buddhist beads in her hand, and returned to the main room. Sitting on the high main seat, the princess looked at the plainly dressed woman and said, "Look up."

The woman shrank her neck and raised her head stiffly.

The woman had a pretty face and delicate features. She was wearing a coarse linen skirt and her hands were tangled together nervously. It was probably the first time she had seen such a noble woman as the princess, and her body was trembling slightly.

The princess' eyes showed no joy or anger, and she asked calmly, "What's your name?"

The woman stammered, "My name is Wang Zhaodi..."

She was the eldest in the family, with four younger sisters. Her mother had just given birth to a son this year. Raising a son required money, so her parents sold her to a restaurant for money. Because she was pretty, she was favored by Madam Liu and bought back to the palace as a concubine.

The princess glanced at the burning incense burner and said, "It's not a good name. From now on, you will be called Xiang'er."

The woman shrank her neck: "Yes..."

The princess ordered Liu Ma: "Take Xiang'er away and give her some clothes, dresses, pearls and hairpins so she can dress up well."

Nanny Liu took the order and left Kunyu Court with Xiang'er. The princess took a sip of tea. Xiang'er had a similar background to Shen Wei and was not very smart. Maybe she could take away the prince's favor.

Even if she couldn't take away the love, it could still cause Shen Wei to have mood swings during her pregnancy.

Although she knew that Shen Wei would not make much of a splash, the princess still felt a little sour deep down in her heart. Every woman in the palace ended up living a rigid life. But Shen Wei was like a blooming flower, and there was no sign of fading.

The princess was unwilling to accept this and was not willing to think about the underlying reasons.

She just wanted to speed up Shen Wei's fall from favor, until Shen Wei also became lifeless, and then she would feel relieved.

After the prayer in the Buddhist temple, the princess went to her two sons' courtyards as usual to check on their studies for the day.

As soon as she stepped into the yard, the princess suddenly smelled a faint sweet fragrance. The door of the study was half-closed, and inside were the princess's two sons and one daughter.

The three children each held a bowl of cool brown sugar jelly in their hands and were eating it with relish. Each child had a happy smile on his face and the scene was full of joy.

"Brother, next time whatever you want to eat, Yao'er will buy it for you." Eight-year-old Li Yao's voice is childish and gentle.

Li Chengke said: "I want to eat candied haws."

Li Yao's voice was as crisp as a bell, and she said, "Okay, Yao'er will bring me candied haws next time."

The princess was annoyed. She hadn't finished her homework, and they were eating together here? She pushed open the study door suddenly, making a loud noise, which scared the three children in the room.

"What are you doing?" the princess frowned and scolded.
