Liu Qiaoer is sewing clothes for the children.
When she learned that Shen Wei had given birth to a daughter, Liu Qiaoer smiled mockingly: "Shen's luck is bad. If she could give birth to a son, maybe she would have someone to rely on in the future."
When the Prince of Yan ascends the throne in the future, his sons will become princes.
When the prince comes of age, he can take his biological mother to a remote fiefdom, away from court disputes. But Shen Wei gave birth to a daughter, and the princess was just a tool for the royal family to marry and win over the ministers.
It’s better not to have a daughter than to have one.
Liu Qiaoer shook her head secretly and continued to sew new clothes for the child. She was no longer favored by the King of Yan, but at least she had enough salary every month and she had no worries about food and clothing.
"The Shen family's misfortune is still to come." Liu Qiaoer murmured.
The palace is too small, and Shen Wei is lucky to be favored; the harem is too big, and Shen Wei will be killed by that terrible woman sooner or later.
...
Kunning Palace.
On a spring morning, Nanny Qian brought a bowl of beauty ointment and carefully applied it to the queen's face. This ointment was a beauty recipe that Shen Wei had given to the queen.
After the queen used the beauty ointment for a period of time, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes really decreased, and her skin became visibly smoother and whiter.
While applying facial mask to the queen, Madam Qian reported: "Your Majesty, Shen from Liuli Pavilion gave birth last night. It was a healthy girl."
The queen was slightly stunned.
The Queen's tone was inevitably disappointed: "It's a pity that a girl was born. Forget it, having a girl is not bad. I am also a woman, and I must not belittle women."
The queen had a good impression of Shen Wei and wanted to train her to be the manager of the palace. Shen Wei gave birth smoothly and gave birth to offspring for the royal family, which was also a meritorious service.
"Madam Qian, please select two of the best wet nurses and send them to Shen to feed the child. In addition, give Shen a hundred taels of gold, twenty pieces of brocade, and two ginsengs, and order the Imperial Hospital to prepare a prescription for her to nourish her body. When my granddaughter was born, I was very happy. I took out the white jade necklace that I brought as a dowry and gave it to the child."
Such a reward is already considered grand.
It was enough to show how much the Queen valued Shen Wei.
Nanny Qian immediately took the order and sent someone to the storehouse to get the reward. The queen leaned on the couch, looking at her increasingly aging face in the mirror. She was getting older day by day, her energy was gradually insufficient, and there was not much she could do to help the Prince of Yan.
Promoting the capable Shen Wei to be the virtuous wife of King Yan can also be regarded as paving the way for King Yan.
"After the child is one month old, I will find a reason to promote her to concubine." The queen fell into deep thought.
If a woman from a peasant family were to be promoted to be the prince's concubine as an exception, she would probably be strongly opposed by Concubine Qian and Prince Heng.
At that time, there will be another war of words among the officials in the court.
