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

I heard that King Yan was furious last night.

Since the prince fell ill, the burden on the shoulders of the King of Yan has become heavier. He has been busy with official duties for a long time and has limited care for his children. The King of Yan never expected that the princess, the biological mother, would punish her daughter by "cutting food"! Just because Li Yao secretly sent food to her brother!

Poor Li Yao, she was so hungry that she had to hide cakes under the table!

Li Chengke and Li Chengzhen often stayed up late to do their homework and suffered from major and minor illnesses.

The Prince of Yan asked Fugui to investigate further and found out that the princess had bribed Sun Xueshi from the Hanlin Academy with a large sum of money to secretly tutor the two children! If the people in the Censorate knew about this, the Prince of Yan would definitely be overwhelmed by the memorials submitted by the Censorate!

The King of Yan realized the seriousness of the matter and finally realized that the princess was not a qualified mother. He sent someone to the palace overnight to tell the Queen about Li Yao's poisoning and hoped that the Queen would come forward to solve the problem.

The Queen Mother was so angry that she smashed a cup. This morning, she sent Nanny Qian over, saying that she missed her three grandchildren and brought the three children into the palace to be looked after.

The princess cried and made a scene, believing that the queen wanted to take her children away. She almost smashed the Buddha statue in the temple. The princess took a carriage into the palace to meet the queen, hoping to get her three children back. It was already afternoon, and the princess had not returned from the palace, which showed that things were not going well.

In short, the palace is now in chaos.

Cai Ping rolled her eyes and asked curiously, "Master, the princess is being harsh on her children. Will the prince use this as an excuse to divorce her?"

The relationship between the Prince of Yan and the Princess has long been estranged, and now that the Princess's affair has been exposed, there is probably no way to repair the relationship between the Prince of Yan and the Princess.

Shen Wei wiped the sweat from her forehead with a towel and saw clearly: "The princess's mother's family is the Tan Tai family, a century-old family. For the sake of the Tan Tai family, the prince will not divorce the princess."

When the royal family and the aristocratic families marry, their interests are intertwined and they will not be easily cut off.

So Shen Wei’s goal is not to become the queen.

Her goal was to become a concubine of high status, to have the protection of the Prince of Yan, to have children and a family to support her, and to live a peaceful and wealthy life in this era.

Shen Wei also warned Cai Ping: "In the future, keep the words of divorce in your heart and don't speak them out loud. Trouble comes from the mouth, so be careful."

Cai Ping nodded obediently: "I understand."

It was a hot afternoon, and Shen Wei was about to go back to her room to take a nap when a clear voice suddenly came from the top of the wall: "Madam Shen's yard is so beautiful. The scenery is beautiful, and the people are even more beautiful."

Shen Wei paused.

A handsome young man in white was squatting on the wall of the Glazed Pavilion where green trees were spreading. This man was none other than Doctor Mo.

Doctor Mo was holding a porcelain bowl in his hand, which contained desserts from "Wei Yan Ji" in Yanjing City, and he had already eaten most of it.

The crisp voice of Doctor Mo reached Shen Wei's ears: "I walked around Prince Yan's Mansion for a long time. Madam Shen's courtyard is the most beautiful, with lush flowers and plants and exquisite waterside pavilions. I think Madam Shen is also a thoughtful girl."

Shen Wei had a distant smile on her face and did not answer.

She lowered her voice and ordered Cai Ping: "Tell the two guards at the door to drive this person away."

The two guards at the door were the "Tiger Guards" specially arranged for her by the Prince of Yan, and they were highly skilled in martial arts.

Doctor Mo was politely asked to leave by the guards.

Shen Wei restrained her smile and turned back to the house. She was now the concubine of King Yan, and if a strange man squatted on the wall of her yard, it would definitely cause a small disturbance.

It would be best to ask him to leave.

...

Daqing Imperial Palace, Kunning Palace.

All the palace maids and eunuchs were called back. In the center of the main hall, the princess knelt on the ground with tears on her face. She said unwillingly: "Mother, are you going to take away my three children? Separating mother and children is more painful than killing me!"

The princess never expected that she had made a small mistake and it would lead to such terrible consequences.

The King of Yan was furious and scolded her as a vicious woman.

The queen took her three children away from her.

With an indifferent husband and a strict mother-in-law, the two sons are the only hope for the princess. Without her children, what else can she expect in the dull Yanwang Mansion?

The queen was so angry that she covered her chest: "Yao'er is only eight years old, and you, as a mother, actually cut her lunch. Let the child starve to the point of eating moldy cakes... Even if you are a stepmother, you can't do such a thing!"

The princess felt even more aggrieved: "I know what's going on. Yao'er is greedy, she——"

"Shut up!" The queen wanted to have someone break open the princess's head to see what kind of stupid jellyfish was inside.

The princess was unwilling to give up and still insisted on bringing the three children back to the palace.

The princess begged with tears in her eyes: "Mother, if the news that you took the three children away gets out, how will the outside world view you? How will they view me as the princess? Wouldn't the reputation of the Prince of Yan's Mansion be completely ruined?"

The Queen rubbed her temples.

She was too lazy to listen to the princess, so she sent an old maid to carry the princess to a side hall so that she could out of sight.

Madam Qian, who served the Queen, offered tea to soothe the Queen's heart and relieve internal heat. The Queen took two sips. Madam Qian said tactfully, "Your Majesty, the Princess is right. If you insist on bringing the three young masters to the palace to raise them, it will be bad for the reputation of the Prince of Yan. Recently, Prince Heng and Concubine Qian have instigated the Censorate to keep an eye on the Prince of Yan's mansion, hoping to find out the Prince of Yan's mistakes..."

The Queen naturally knew the plans of Prince Heng and his group.

Prince Heng guessed that Prince Yan might inherit the throne, and had been targeting Prince Yan openly and covertly.

The Queen sighed, "These three children are so pitiful. Look at Yao'er, an eight-year-old girl who is as thin as a cat. Cheng Ke and Cheng Zhen are forced to study hard every day, and sooner or later they will become as weak and sickly as the Crown Prince."

The thing the queen regretted most in her life was the enormous pressure she put on the prince, which led to him being sickly and weak at a young age and eventually dying.

She couldn't bear to see the princess follow her old path.

Madam Qian said, "Madam, why don't you send four experienced old maids to the Prince of Yan's Mansion to take care of the three young masters for the princess."

The queen put down the teacup, thought carefully for a long time, and finally nodded slowly.

The three children still had to stay with the princess. But the four old maids were responsible for raising the children. The queen would also regularly scold the princess to stop her from making mistakes.

The matter of the child was temporarily settled, and the Queen instructed Madam Qian: "Go to the East Palace later to ask if the miraculous doctor that Yuan Jing found can cure Yuan Chang's illness."

The queen still had a little hope for the prince's illness. She hoped that the divine doctor Mo could cure the prince's illness.

As long as the prince recovers, all the current difficulties can be solved.

...

...

At dusk, the blood-red sunset shone on the glazed tiles of the East Palace. In the prince's bedroom, the prince leaned on the soft pillow, his face pale and bloodless.

The Crown Princess and Prince Yan sat on the chairs nearby and said nothing.

Doctor Mo was busy taking the patient's pulse and giving acupuncture for quite some time before he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The Crown Princess clutched her handkerchief nervously, her tone filled with anticipation, and she tried hard to hold back her sobs: "Doctor Mo, how is the Crown Prince's illness? Can it be cured?"
