The princess had to admit that Shen Wei put a lot of pressure on her.

Nanny Liu sighed and comforted the princess: "You are the second daughter of the Tan Tai family and the mistress of the family. If the prince divorces you, he will be the enemy of the entire Tan Tai family. Shen is just lucky to have a promising brother to secure the position of concubine, but she will never be able to replace you in her lifetime."

Shen Wei's younger brother was just a newly-appointed Jinshi, and there were many newly-appointed Jinshi in the imperial court.

The princess's family is the Tan Tai family, a century-old family with complex power. The Prince of Yan will never anger the Tan Tai family for Chen Wei.

Madam Liu even began to make a convincing analysis: "The prince is heartless and now favors Shen, so he will naturally protect that little bitch. In the future, when a beautiful new person enters the palace, the prince's heart will change, and Shen will fall out of favor. You will have many ways to suppress Shen."

The princess pinched the Buddhist beads with her fingers and fell into long thought.

Eventually, the princess gradually calmed down.

Men are all fickle, and it is impossible for the prince to pamper Chen Wei for his whole life. Shen Wei will eventually fall into the dust.

Liu Ruyan and Liu Qiaoer of those days were both favored and enjoyed great popularity. But now, Liu Ruyan is self-pitying, Liu Qiaoer stays indoors, and Zhang Miaoyu is greedy and fat. They have all had their edges smoothed out.

Madam Liu was still belittling Shen Wei: "Besides, that Shen gave birth to a useless daughter, and you, Princess, have two sensible sons. In the future, when you become the old dowager of the palace, then Shen will still have to live by your will."

The princess's anxious heart finally settled down.

The princess clasped her hands together and bowed devoutly to the Buddha statue: "Buddha bless you."

After bowing devoutly and burning incense devoutly, the princess stood up with the help of Nanny Liu's hand and looked at the clear sky outside the house.

The princess slowly said, "Since Shen is a concubine, according to the rules, she needs to visit her parents every morning and evening."

Morning and evening visits mean that the concubine would visit the mistress every morning to greet her well-being, and help her go to bed at night.

In recent years, the princess was busy taking care of her two sons' schoolwork and disliked the tedious daily greetings from the concubines, so she exempted them from the daily greetings.

Shen Wei was promoted to concubine, and the princess planned to reestablish the abandoned rules.

"Then shall I go and inform Shen right away?" Nanny Liu asked proactively.

The princess smiled and shook her head: "Let Shen be proud for a few days, and then let her come to pay her respects every day."

The princess wanted to make Chen Wei understand that she, Tan Tai Shu Ya, was the real mistress of the entire Prince Yan's Mansion. No matter how favored Shen Wei is or how high her position is, she will always be stepped on by the princess.

After the Buddha worship, the princess and Nanny Liu went to the study to check the homework of their two sons. The maids of Kunyuyuan walked into the Buddhist hall quietly, swept the dust in an orderly manner, and then poured out the incense ashes accumulated in the Buddhist niche.

The plain-looking little maid left Kunyuyuan holding the incense ash burner. As they walked, the little maid turned around and went to the corner of the garden to meet Caiping.

The little maidservant told Caiping truthfully: "Sister Caiping, the princess said that Master Shen should come to visit her every morning and evening for a few days."

Cai Ping nodded: "I will tell the master."

Caiping took out a heavy purse and skillfully put it into the maid's hand. The little maid accepted it with tears of gratitude and quickly left with the incense ash burner.

...

In Liuli Pavilion, Chen Wei handed the imperial decree of enthronement to Rong Mama and asked her to keep it well.

Prince Yan was teasing the child beside the cradle.

Little Leyou liked Prince Yan very much. When he saw Prince Yan, his eyes lit up. He waved his chubby hands and feet towards Prince Yan and made babbling sounds from his pink mouth.

Prince Yan's heart almost melted.

He had many children, but the baby babbling in the cradle was the closest to and most dependent on King Yan. King Yan felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction when being depended on and loved by his little girl.

"Are you happy to be named a concubine?" Prince Yan smiled in his handsome eyes.

Chen Wei looked at the Prince of Yan lovingly, her eyes curved into crescents: "Of course I am happy. My brother has been well-read since he was a child, and he passed the imperial examination and entered the court. If he can work under the Prince and help him solve his problems, the Prince will be more relaxed."

Prince Yan's heart seemed to be gently stroked by a soft feather.

If it were any other woman, she would definitely be ecstatic if she was suddenly named a concubine. But when Shen Wei became a concubine, her first thought was "my brother can help King Yan solve his problems."

This also shows that in Shen Wei's heart, King Yan is the most important. She didn't care about the position, she only cared whether the King of Yan was tired.

King Yan held Shen Wei's hand and said gently: "I will go to see Shen Xiuming first, and let you two siblings reminisce later."

Shen Wei nodded obediently.

Prince Yan teased his daughter in the cradle for a while before leaving Liuli Pavilion. After King Yan left, Shen Wei's face gradually darkened, and she told Cai Lian, "Change your clothes and do your makeup."

When meeting my younger brother, I can't dress too ostentatiously.

...

The study room of Prince Yan's Mansion.

Shen Xiuming, dressed in simple green clothes, stood in the small hall of the study and waited patiently. After a while, there was a noise outside the moon cave door, and King Yan had arrived.

Shen Xiuming clenched his fists nervously.

Today, the Prince of Yan was wearing court clothes, a solemn crimson purple python robe with dragon and cloud patterns embroidered with gold and silver threads. Prince Yan was very tall and had an upright figure. He had practiced martial arts for many years, so his steps were always steady.

There were two tiger guards following behind the King of Yan. The eyes of these two men were sharp and shrewd, and it was obvious at first glance that they were not ordinary people.

"Your humble servant - I pay my respects to Your Highness." Shen Xiuming felt uneasy. It was his first time to meet the King of Yan up close, and his posture of saluting was very unnatural.

King Yan nodded, his eyes swept over Shen Xiuming's face. As expected of siblings, Shen Xiuming looked somewhat similar to Shen Wei.

Prince Yan said succinctly: "Go into the study."
