King Yan picked up two pieces of rice paper and looked at the homework of his two children. Chengke and Chengzhen's handwriting was fairly neat, but they were still young and only knew how to copy and memorize books, without knowing the deeper meaning behind them.
The princess served tea and said, "Your Majesty, you have recently favored the Shen family of Fangfei Garden. I also hope that the Shen family will soon give birth to branches for the palace, but——"
The princess paused deliberately, and said with regret: "It's just that I heard that Shen secretly drank the contraceptive soup. She really let down the prince's kindness."
A little concubine actually took contraceptive soup secretly, which was a slap in the face of King Yan.
The princess knew that the King of Yan would be furious and completely ignore Shen Wei.
But King Yan didn't seem to care. His eyes were still on his two sons' homework. He looked through it carefully and then slowly put down the rice paper.
The Prince of Yan lowered his gaze and looked at the Princess who was so close to him: "Where did you hear about the contraceptive soup?"
King Yan knew that Shen Wei was taking contraceptive soup, so he naturally felt pity for Shen Wei and stood on her side.
Chen Wei took the contraceptive soup and was very careful, dumping the remaining medicine residue into the weeds.
But even with such caution, it still reached the ears of the princess.
Prince Yan couldn't help but suspect that his princess was targeting Chen Wei. After all, the last "Floating Light Brocade" incident was also initiated by the princess.
"This..." When the princess saw that Prince Yan looked unwell, her heart started beating fast. Strangely, the prince didn't seem to be angry with Shen Wei.
Why?
Could it be that King Yan has fallen deeply in love with Chen Wei?
Thinking of this, the princess just felt it was ridiculous.
The prince has his country in his heart and his feelings for the women in the harem are only superficial. It is impossible for him to fall in love with a lowly peasant girl.
But if the prince develops other feelings for Shen Wei, the princess subconsciously clenched her handkerchief, and her position as princess would be unstable.
She had to get rid of Shen Wei and not let her stand in her way.
Her heart was in turmoil, but her face remained calm. The princess said gently, "It was a maid in the mansion who came to inform on me. This matter is very serious, so I chose to tell the prince."
King Yan said calmly: "Don't pay any attention to it."
The princess was shocked: "But Shen..."
King Yan said, "I secretly gave her the contraceptive soup."
He took the initiative to take on the responsibility of preparing the contraceptive soup.
King Yan felt more and more pity for Shen Wei, who was born in poverty, was cautious, and lived alone in the backyard of the palace. He secretly drank the contraceptive soup and was discovered by the princess... Prince Yan couldn't help but feel a sense of responsibility as a man.
He wants to protect the weak Shen Wei, he is Shen Wei's only support.
"I still have official business to attend to. Please take good care of the children." King Yan did not give any further explanation and left.
In the study, the princess stood there frozen like a sculpture.
The words of King Yan echoed in her mind for a long time - was it the contraceptive soup that King Yan gave to Chen Wei?
After thinking for a long time, the princess suddenly let out a low sigh: "Poor Shen Wei..."
If a man cares about a woman, he will not give her contraceptive soup.
Shen Wei seemed to be in great glory, but she was born in a humble family and was not even qualified to bear a child for the prince.
It's so pitiful and sad.
I guess Chen Wei didn't know that what she was taking every day was contraceptive soup, and she foolishly thought it was a tonic for the body.
The princess shook her head and slowly took a sip of tea: "I thought the prince fell in love with Shen Wei, but I really thought too much."
In the prince's mind, Chen Wei was just a tool to warm the bed.
The princess summoned Aunt Liu and whispered to her, "Go find Zhang Yue and punish her with twenty sticks. Tell her to keep her mouth shut."
Madam Liu said respectfully, "I will do it right away."
After drinking her tea, the princess found two copies of "Zizhi Tongjian" in the study. Although Chengke and Chengzhen were ill, they could not delay their studies.
It is also beneficial to let the book boy read by the bedside so that Chengke and Chengzhen can hear a few words.
