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

After Shen Wei finished her selection, the other concubines followed suit. In the end, everyone thanked the princess and left Kunyu Courtyard.

In the evening, Prince Yan came to the princess's place for dinner.

At the table, the princess casually mentioned the incident of "Shen Wei taking away the floating brocade" and said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't blame Shen. She came from a poor family, and it's understandable that she would take good things for herself when she saw them."

Aunt Liu beside her was indignant: "Princess, you can stand it, but I can't. Shen relied on the favor of the prince to be the first to grab the cloth. She doesn't take you seriously at all."

Prince Yan's face turned cold instantly.

He couldn't help but start to reflect on whether he had been too indulgent towards Shen Wei recently?

Although he liked Shen Wei, this woman always brought him endless freshness - but he didn't expect that Shen Wei would become so arrogant because of her favor that she coveted the best fabrics.

The King of Yan could not help but recall that he had once favored a concubine, who gradually became lawless. Later, at a banquet, the woman took advantage of her favor and became arrogant, causing dissatisfaction among the Queen Mother, and even he was scolded.

After a dinner, I was full of anger.

The Prince of Yan did not stay at the Princess's place, and went to sleep alone in the main courtyard tonight. He called Fugui and said, "Go and find out if Shen Wei was the first one to pick the fabric and took the floating brocade today."

Fugui was efficient and asked someone about it before returning to report: "Your Majesty, it is indeed true. The floating brocade is of high value, and it is natural for Master Shen to like it."

King Yan lowered his eyes, a hint of disgust welling up in his heart.

Greed and arrogance make people dislike you.

In Kunyu Courtyard, after seeing off the angry Prince Yan, the princess slowly returned to her room and began to embroider.

Aunt Liu helped the princess to choose the thread and said with disdain, "What a pity for Shen."

The princess held the embroidery needle and said calmly, "Shen Wei is really stupid - Madam Liu, you can start looking for some beautiful girls. Shen Wei has fallen out of favor, so she must be replaced by a new person."

Madam Liu said respectfully, "Don't worry, Princess. I will do it right away."

King Yan was angry, and for the next five days he did not go to Shen Wei's Fangfei Garden.

Shen Wei seems to have fallen out of favor.

In the Qixue Pavilion, Liu Ruyan stood alone under the plum tree, her fingers brushing across the dry plum branches.

Her eyes were red, and she was filled with sorrow: "Many men have always been unfaithful and failed beautiful women. Shen and I are in the same boat."

A line of clear tears fell.

The maid Xuemei stood behind Liu Ruyan. Seeing her master being sad again, Xuemei's heart was numb.

What can you do when you have a master like this?

...

"Hahaha, Shen Wei is too greedy. I reminded her, but she still snatched the fabric!" In Huaxiang Courtyard, the chubby Concubine Zhang was eating pork elbow.

When she saw Shen Wei for the first time that day, she thought the girl was really good-looking, so she kindly gave her a reminder.

Too bad it's brainless.

Concubine Zhang wiped the oil stains from the corners of her mouth and said, "After a while, let's go and play with Shen Wei. I'll give her some pork elbows. When she's full, her heart won't ache."

...

In Mingyue Courtyard, Concubine Liu was eating simple meals. Ever since the King of Yan was driven away that day, her three meals a day had been reduced to the level of a concubine.

But Concubine Liu ate with great relish.

There were steamed buns and vegetables, which were much better than what she ate in the cold palace.

"Master, now that Shen has fallen out of favor, why don't we take the opportunity to kill her?" The maid next to him had a sinister look on her face.

Concubine Liu glared at the maid and said unhappily, "No need to do anything."

She didn't want to get involved in the feud in the harem at all. She was completely disappointed with Prince Yan and planned to live a low-key life for the rest of her life.

When Prince Yan ascends the throne in the future, she will not compete for favor with that terrible woman. Concubine Liu only wants to save her own life and that of her child.

That Shen Wei is so stupid, she is digging her own grave.

Concubine Liu finally let it go. Fighting was meaningless. New people kept coming. Even if Shen Wei was gone, there were other women.

No one can be favored all his life. It is better to watch the show in the corner, at least you can keep your life.

...

Prince Yan has been in a bad mood these days.

He was a little disgusted with Shen Wei, but after spending many days together, Prince Yan began to develop some feelings for Shen Wei.

He originally thought that after Shen Wei "fell out of favor", she would take the initiative to come to him and admit her mistake, and King Yan would be able to take advantage of the situation and reconcile with Shen Wei.

Prince Yan can continue to dote on her for a while until he completely loses interest in Shen Wei.

But Shen Wei did not take the initiative to admit her mistake, and stayed in her Fangfei Garden all day! She never left the front door or the back door!

In the study, after finishing his official duties, Prince Yan put down the file and called Fugui to ask, "She hasn't come to admit her mistake yet?"

Fugui scratched his head and said cautiously: "No...How about I go and remind Master Shen?"

The King of Yan said nothing, which was considered as his agreement.

Fugui immediately stood up and prepared to go to Fangfei Garden to check the situation. King Yan suddenly stopped him and said, "Take another look at how the vegetables I planted are growing."

King Yan hadn't been to Fangfei Garden for five days. Not only did he miss Shen Wei's health and smile, he also missed his food!

What would he do if the vegetables he planted himself were pulled out by Shen Wei?

"Yes, I'll go ask right away!" Fugui quickened his pace and rushed to Fangfei Garden.

Fugui also misses the vegetables he grows!

He hurried all the way to Fangfei Garden, and showed up in a low-key manner without any publicity. He stretched out his hand and greeted Rong Mama from Fangfei Garden.

Aunt Rong was an old maid carefully selected by Fugui and sent to Fangfei Garden to serve.

"Mr. Fugui, why are you here?" Aunt Rong hurriedly came forward and greeted with a smile.

Fugui and Rong Mama are old acquaintances and are from the same hometown.

Fugui said angrily, "Master Shen is young and his brain is not very useful. You are an old man in the palace, how come your brain is also rusty? Why don't you quickly ask Master Shen to dress up and go to the study to apologize to the prince!"

"That floating brocade is worth a thousand gold coins, and only the prince and princess can use it! Master Shen is so bold, and you servants don't know how to persuade him!"

If Shen Wei takes the initiative to admit her mistake, she might be lucky enough to remain in favor for a few months.

If she doesn't apologize, Shen Wei's life will be over.

Rong Mama was in her early fifties, with gray hair and shrewd eyes. She said with regret, "Master Shen is ill and cannot see the prince for the time being."

Fugui was stunned: "Are you sick?"

Rong Ma nodded helplessly: "Yes. The master got the valuable floating brocade and stayed up all night to make clothes for the prince. As soon as the clothes were finished, he fell ill and is still lying down now."

Fugui was still a little confused.

"Why don't you go and inform the prince?" Madam Rong gave Fugui a look.

Fugui suddenly understood and gave a thumbs up, praising: "This Master Shen... is really smart!"

If Shen Wei snatches Fu Guangjin for her own use, the prince will think that she is taking advantage of her favor and becoming arrogant.

But Shen Wei took the floating brocade to make clothes for the prince! The prince would only think that he had misunderstood Shen Wei, and his guilt would increase.

What a good move to turn passivity into initiative!

Fugui was filled with emotion and said to Rong Mama, "You will have a bright future if you follow Master Shen."

Aunt Rong smiled and said, "I also want to thank the rich steward for arranging such a good job for me."

Madam Rong watched Fugui leave, and the smile on her lips grew bigger and bigger.

As an old maid in the palace, Rong Mama naturally had a keen eye for talent. When she first met Shen Wei that day, she knew that this woman was extremely intelligent.

Completely different from other female members of the royal family's rear quarters, Aunt Rong saw a strong vitality in Shen Wei.

The lifeless palace lacks this kind of vigorous vitality that can make people intoxicated and fascinated.

If Shen Wei can continue to show vigorous vitality, she will definitely continue to be favored by King Yan.

There is no one who doesn't love flowers that bloom warmly.

Not long after, Prince Yan hurried to Fangfei Garden in the dark, bringing with him a royal physician.

Five days later, the King of Yan stepped into Fangfei Garden again. He rushed into the house quickly.

Shen Wei was lying on the bed sleeping. Her small face, which was the size of a palm, was extremely pale and looked very haggard, with faint dark circles under her eyes.

King Yan held her hand and saw several obvious needle marks on her fair and delicate fingers.

Obviously, these pinholes were caused by needles when Shen Wei was making clothes for him.

"Weiwei..." King Yan stared at Shen Wei's face with extremely complicated feelings.

Cai Lian knelt down and choked up, saying, "Your Highness, my mistress has been working day and night these past few days, making clothes for you, saying that she wanted to give you a surprise... She's exhausted herself."
