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

Prince Yan paused while eating, as if he had heard a fairy tale.

Are you proud of your favor?

When has Shen Wei ever been spoiled?

His Weiwei was the most considerate. After she became pregnant, she never asked him for anything. Even when Shen Wei was pregnant, she did not forget to pick out fabrics and asked the maid to sew autumn clothes for him in advance.

The princess continued to ramble on: "Back then, the concubines and illegitimate concubines in the palace who were pregnant were just like Shen. Once they got pregnant, they kept asking for things from the prince. They wanted the best food, the best place to live, and supplements to nourish the fetus. Prince, you should pamper Shen, but there should be a limit."

Prince Yan slowed down his eating movements.

Seeing this, the princess thought that the King of Yan had listened to her words. The princess was secretly happy and deliberately mentioned: "Shen is pregnant, so it is even more inconvenient for her to serve the prince. I have found a new person for the prince. She is beautiful and dignified. If the prince is free, can you go and see her?"

Men are cold-hearted by nature. When they find a new love, they will naturally forget their old love.

The princess believed that as long as the King of Yan had a new lover, Shen Wei would soon fall out of favor. All women in the world were the same, and there was not much difference. It didn't matter who the King of Yan slept with.

Snapped!

The white jade chopsticks in the hands of the Prince of Yan slammed heavily on the rosewood dining table. The princess was startled and saw the gloomy handsome face of the Prince of Yan.

That look was too terrifying. It contained disappointment, disgust, and irritation. There wasn't a trace of friendship. It was extremely strange.

The princess was so frightened that her chopsticks dropped to the ground. She quickly stood up, holding onto Nanny Liu's hand and standing aside stiffly, her heart pounding, not knowing why the Prince of Yan was so angry.

Could it be that Shen Wei took advantage of her pregnancy to deliberately disparage the princess in front of the Prince of Yan?

Every word the King of Yan said was full of hostility, giving people a strong sense of oppression: "Newcomer? The princess is thoughtful."

Prince Yan was very disappointed with his princess.

To be fair, the King of Yan did not think that he was a womanizer. He was not like the King of Heng, who was always flirting with women.

The King of Yan was used to seeing many beautiful women and knew all the beauties in the world. He needed a soulmate who was compatible with him. Later, he met Shen Wei, and the missing piece in his heart was filled. He no longer needed a new person to make up for the freshness.

He was already very satisfied to have Shen Wei accompany him for the rest of his life.

But the princess keeps finding so-called new people for him.

What do you think he is?

A breeding horse in a stable? A boar in a farmhouse?

Even the noble emperor of Daqing, after a great era, only had one queen, one imperial concubine and four concubines left in his harem. He was a prince, but he had more wives and concubines than the emperor, and he was severely criticized by the censors of the Censorate some time ago.

The princess was full of doubts, but she could only be forced to admit her mistake: "Your Majesty, I...I spoke out of turn."

The couple had been living in physical harmony for many years, and only treated each other in harmony on the surface, so the princess had no idea what the prince of Yan was thinking, and she didn't know what mistake she had made.

The King of Yan said calmly, "There is no need to add new people to the palace in the future. Take care of your own piece of land. If you stretch your hands too far, they will break easily."

The princess was stunned. What did "no need to bring new people into the palace" mean?

Just as the princess was about to interrogate her carefully, there was a loud noise outside the house. A young maid stumbled in, shouting, "Princess, it's bad! Master Yao has been poisoned!"

The princess' head buzzed as if hit by a huge rock.

She only has this one daughter, and in the future she will have to rely on Li Yao's marriage to consolidate her position in the palace.

The princess didn't care about losing her composure. Her eyes were red as she anxiously told Prince Yan, "Your Highness! Something happened to Yao'er. Please go with me to see her!"

The King of Yan was quite fond of his daughter.

Upon learning that his daughter was poisoned, Prince Yan temporarily suppressed his anxiety and went to Li Yao's yard to visit her in person.

Li Yao lived in the Peony Courtyard, which was decorated in an exquisite style. It was dark, and bright lanterns were hung high, illuminating every corner.

The servant has already gone to call the palace doctor.

The princess hurried into Li Yao's boudoir. The eight-year-old girl was pale and had fallen into a deep coma. Her lips were bloodless, and there was white foam at the corners of her mouth. There was a pool of vomit on the floor.

"Yao'er! Yao'er, open your eyes and look at your mother." The princess was so anxious that she burst into tears.

But Li Yao was still unconscious, lying on the bed like a dead body.

Prince Yan's face darkened, and there was worry in his eyes.

The maid knelt on the ground and tremblingly explained the whole story. Li Yao had been learning how to make tea in the teahouse next door in the afternoon, and did not stop to rest in the evening. Just now, Li Yao suddenly began to foam at the mouth, vomited and fainted, and it seemed that she was poisoned.

The maid who served Li Yao quickly carried her back to her boudoir, and another maid went to inform the princess.

King Yan frowned and asked, "What did Yao'er eat today?"

The maid trembled and said, "Master Yao ate little for lunch. She went for a stroll in the garden in the afternoon and then returned to the tea room to learn how to make tea. She only drank some tea in the afternoon and didn't eat anything else."

The guards went to check the tea in the tea room and found that it was non-toxic.

The old nanny who served Li Yao also ate some of her lunch. The old nanny showed no signs of poisoning, which showed that the lunch was not poisonous either.

The princess wiped her tears and said angrily: "It's neither tea nor lunch, but she ate something unclean! Think about it carefully, what else did Yao'er eat?"

At this time, another maidservant knelt down and said stumblingly, "My Lord and Princess, I remember something! In the afternoon, Master Yao came back to the tea room with a little brown sugar on her lips. Master Yao said that she went to the garden to stroll in the afternoon and met Master Shen and asked for a bowl of cold cake."

Apart from lunch and tea, Li Yao only ate the cold cakes that Shen Wei sent.

The princess was furious!

She really underestimated Shen Wei. Shen Wei had just become pregnant, and she actually began to remove obstacles for the child in her belly, trying to harm the princess's child!

Nanny Liu beside her secretly pulled the princess' sleeve, and the princess calmed down a little, trying to stay rational from the surging anger.

After all, she had experienced the infighting in the palace and had seen many similar tactics. Although all the accusations were directed at Shen Wei, it was also possible that other concubines had deliberately framed her.

Liu Qiaoer, Liu Ruyan, Zhang Miaoyu, and those concubines could all be the real culprits behind the scenes.

Even though Liu Qiao'er and Liu Ruyan seem to be as gentle as plum blossoms, as women, the princess knows the malice hidden deep in their hearts.

Perhaps several concubines had long disliked Shen Wei and wanted to take this opportunity to kill two birds with one stone - to bring down Shen Wei and break the princess's arm.

The princess' eyes were red, she clenched the silk handkerchief in her hand, and said to the prince of Yan with tears in her eyes: "Your Highness, it is really pitiful that Yao'er suffered such an unexpected disaster. Please find Shen and ask her about it. If Shen is wrongly accused, we can also follow the clues to find the real culprit behind the scenes."
