Overachiever Shen Wei traveled through time and found herself as the lowest-ranking maid in the grand residenc...
If the Prince of Yan could stand on her side, the Queen would not have been able to take away her three children.
The princess closed her eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "The Imperial College is full of geniuses. If Cheng Ke and Cheng Zhen don't work hard, they will be crushed by others sooner or later. If they grow up to be called idiots, where will the Yan Palace stand? As for Yao'er, those four old maids can teach her however they want. It's none of my business."
Ever since Li Yao exposed the princess's practice of withholding food from her daughter in front of King Yan, the princess has become increasingly disappointed with her daughter.
Raising a daughter without being partial to herself is like raising an ungrateful person.
The incense and candles in the shrine were burning. The princess slowly raised her eyes and gazed at the compassionate Buddha statue.
The princess held the Buddhist beads one by one, her eyes becoming more determined: "This is the Prince of Yan's Mansion, it's my territory. My mother sent four old women here, isn't this a slap in my face? Those four old women, don't think about destroying my two children."
For the sake of her children, she has to fight these old maids.

The days in Liuli Pavilion were peaceful.
Shen Wei has been eating well, sleeping well, and exercising properly these days.
The dessert shop she opened is doing a booming business and is currently expanding. It has gradually become famous in Yanjing and is expected to soon become the number one dessert shop in Yanjing.
Shen Wei's life was going smoothly, but the princess's life was in dire straits. According to the information brought by the gossip expert Cai Ping, there are many conflicts between the princess and the four old maids.
They appear to be friendly on the surface, but they are actually very fierce and fighting openly and secretly.
The princess was so busy worrying all day that she didn't even bother to deal with the pregnant Shen Wei. Xiang'er, the new person the princess had brought to share her favor, had been completely forgotten in the backyard.
In the yard, Shen Wei leaned leisurely on a deck chair, looking through the account book sent by "Wei Yan Ji". Chen Wei instructed Rong Mama: "Talk to Shopkeeper Ye again. After the new products are put on the shelves, add a [delivery] service. If any nobleman in Yanjing needs it, just ask the waiter to pack the dessert and deliver it to the door."
As the store became more and more famous, customers came in an endless stream.
Appropriately adding "take-away" services can differentiate customers and increase store sales.
“I’ve noted it all down.” Madam Rong answered calmly, and she admired Shen Wei even more in her heart.
The idea of delivering goods to your home is really novel.
Shen Wei was leisurely flipping through the account book when Cai Ping's announcement came from outside the yard, saying that Young Master Li Yao had arrived. Shen Wei put down the account book and saw Li Yao’s fair and reserved little face.
Shen Wei asked someone to invite her in.
After not seeing each other for a few days, Li Yao's health has recovered quite well. Li Yao was holding an exquisite little box in her hand. Her big black eyes swept over Shen Wei and she spoke softly, "Shen, Aunt Shen, I was poisoned that day, and my mother almost misunderstood you... Yao'er apologizes to you."
Li Yao handed over the small pink and white box.
This is a takeaway box from Wei Yan Ji, which contains a bowl of new dessert.
Li Yao is essentially a kind girl. After she came to her senses, she realized that Shen Wei was almost misunderstood. She always felt guilty towards Shen Wei, so she took the initiative to apologize.
The princess ignored Li Yao these days and had no time to supervise Li Yao's learning of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Li Yao was like a bird that had flown out of a cage, very free, and even had time to visit Shen Wei.
"Thank you, Sister Yao." Shen Wei smiled kindly.
Li Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
But she did not leave immediately, but asked timidly: "Aunt Shen, Aunt Shen, can I play on the swing for a while?"
After all, Li Yao is just an eight-year-old girl, at the age when she loves to play. She liked Shen Wei's Glazed Pavilion very much. The flowers were beautiful and the trees were lush and green. There were peaches on the trees and red tomatoes in the vegetable garden.
What attracted Li Yao the most was the swing under the big tree.
Shen Wei nodded and said with a smile: "Cai Ping, take her to the swing."
Caiping gladly accepted the order and took Li Yao to swing on the swing. Li Yao had only seen swings in books. The princess usually did not allow her to swing on the swing, saying that girls should be dignified.
Today is Li Yao's first time swinging on a swing. She holds Caiping's hand and carefully holds the sturdy swing rope.
The swing frame is made of a wooden chair structure and is very safe to sit on. Caiping pushed gently from behind, and Li Yao's thin little body swayed, with joy in her eyes.
Swinging, so much fun!
As the swing swayed, the gentle breeze brushed across her cheeks, and Li Yao's body floated into the air, as if she had freed herself from all restraints. She was like a soaring bird, blending into the beautiful scenery.
After playing for half an hour, Li Yao happily left the swing. After playing, she still remembered the unfinished homework.
The old nanny who taught her came from the palace and told Li Yao that the eldest daughter of the palace also had responsibilities and would be the head of the family in the future. The old nanny taught her how to read account books, analyze the family's property composition, and learn how to manage the land and shops. Li Yao learned very seriously.
Li Yao likes to look at the account books very much. It is much more interesting and relaxing than playing the piano or painting.
She politely expressed her gratitude to Shen Wei: "Thank you, Aunt Shen. Yao'er will come to visit again another day. Aunt, please take good care of yourself."
Li Yao skipped away.
Cai Ping poured a cup of tea for Chen Wei and asked softly, "Master, Miss Yao always comes to our Liuli Pavilion. If she gets poisoned again one day, we will be in trouble."
Shen Wei held the celadon teacup, a hint of sympathy in her eyes: "It is the nature of children to love playing. It is normal to play at a playful age and be busy at a busy age."
The princess devoted herself to her two sons and had completely given up on Li Yao.
What is poison to others is honey to me. In Shen Wei's opinion, Li Yao is a very good daughter with a kind character and a good child.
It’s a pity that the princess is blind and can’t see the good in Li Yao.
Chen Wei stroked her flat belly. In the future, if the baby in her belly could have the love and care of Li Yao, the eldest daughter of the royal palace, it would be a guarantee.
...
...
Li Yao returned to her own courtyard and continued to learn how to read the account books under the guidance of the old nanny.
We stayed there until dark, when the old nanny served us a delicious dinner. Seeing Li Yao concentrating on studying, the old nanny's eyes were full of praise: "Young Master Yao is very diligent."
The old nanny was sent by the Queen.
The old nanny originally thought that Li Yao would be a difficult girl to serve. But after spending a few days together, the old lady was simply astounded by her beauty - Li Yao was smart, kind, hardworking and diligent.
She likes to play, but she knows when to play.
She likes to eat, but she won't overeat.
She is a very smart little girl.
"Thank you, Ma'am." Li Yao finished her dinner with a bulging belly. Ever since the old nanny came to take care of her, Li Yao has been able to eat her fill every day.
Li Yao also didn't forget the princess. The princess hadn't come to see her these past few days, and Li Yao missed her very much. She specially brought two pieces of peach blossom cakes and ran to Kunyu Courtyard.
