Without staying any longer, Cailian dragged Caiping away.
Cai Ping was dragged away for more than ten meters. She turned around and scolded Xiang Er: "I have never seen anyone so stupid. She rushed over to die! She thought her death was valuable, but she became a stepping stone for others. Bah! It's a waste of life!"
The morning breeze blew, Xiang'er froze in place, her mind a mess.
...
Cai Lian and Cai Ping play the good guy and the bad guy respectively. After using both kindness and force to teach Xiang'er a lesson, he returned to Liuli Pavilion to report.
Shen Wei leaned on the soft chaise longue, holding the account book in her hand, feeling helpless: "Can't the princess be more content?"
Fortunately, Shen Wei was prepared.
In the palace, everyone is under her spies. The hearts of the servants in the palace are also on her side. Several maids in the princess's courtyard received money from Caiping. Once the princess wanted to do something naughty, the maids would tell Liuli Pavilion about the situation immediately.
"Don't worry, master. Someone is watching the movements over there." Cai Ping comforted with a smile.
Shen Wei drank some tea to relieve her fatigue, and said enviously: "Sometimes I really envy the princess, she doesn't know how to appreciate the blessings she has."
With a big family as her backing, the princess can secure her position as mistress. There was someone to manage her household and someone to raise her children, and she didn't have to serve a man. The princess could worship Buddha in the yard every day with peace of mind, and she had enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear. It was simply a life like a god.
If only the princess could be more open-minded, give up fighting for power and fame, her life would be considered happy!
This is the lying-down life that Shen Wei has always dreamed of!
It’s a pity that lying down is the privilege of wealthy aristocrats, and only rich people have the capital to do things in a bad way.
Shen Wei was born in a low-class family with an average background. If she lay down and let things go, the only thing waiting for her was a miserable death.
Only the poor are content with themselves. If you have power and influence, who would want to be the poor king of contentment?
Shen Wei silently comforted herself, it doesn’t matter, everything has to be bitter before it can be sweet. She has been working hard for decades now, and only after retirement can she have a good time to lie down and relax.
Chen Wei looked up and instructed: "Cai Ping, go to the small kitchen and see if the date cake prepared for Princess Zhaoyang is ready? Open the wine cellar in the afternoon and take out a jar of last year's fruit wine."
Caiping hurried to the kitchen to check the situation.
An invitation was sent from the Princess's Mansion, informing her that Princess Zhaoyang would come to the Palace in the afternoon to visit her young niece. Shen Wei had to prepare in advance to receive this distinguished princess.
...
In the afternoon, Princess Zhaoyang came with bags of gifts. Zhaoyang liked Shen Wei's daughter very much and specially prepared many toys and beautiful clothes for her.
The gift given by Princess Zhaoyang is of extraordinary value. Locks made of white jade, cloth tigers sewn by palace embroiderers, rattles inlaid with gold, lion heads inlaid with gems, Luban locks made of golden nanmu, and nine-linked rings made of gold...
There were so many things to see that it was dazzling, and Shen Wei couldn't suppress the smile on her face.
"She is so well behaved, she smiles when she sees me." Zhaoyang lay beside the cradle and amused the child in the cradle with a gold-inlaid rattle.
Little Leyou opened his chubby little hands and made a giggling sound, which was very cute.
Zhaoyang teased his little niece for a while, then took Chen Wei to the waterside pavilion to chat. Zhaoyang took a bite of the sweet date cake and sighed with satisfaction: "In the whole Yanjing City, except for Weiyanji, only the date cakes made in your small kitchen are the most delicious!"
Shen Wei gently waved her Luo fan: "I asked the maid to pack a food box of date cakes, and the princess can take it with her when she leaves."
Zhaoyang was in a good mood.
She likes being with Shen Wei very much and can always relax herself completely. After eating the date cake, Zhaoyang said excitedly: "I heard that the princess sister-in-law is seriously ill and bedridden. Even the imperial physician is helpless. I wanted to visit Kunyuyuan just now, but was stopped."
Zhaoyang was quite puzzled.
The princess' sister-in-law has always been in good health, how come she suddenly fell seriously ill? The imperial physician also said that the princess' illness required long-term rest and she should not overwork or become fatigued.
Zhaoyang picked up another piece of small date cake and said, "Weiwei, you are now the housekeeper for the princess and sister-in-law. If you encounter something you don't understand, just come to me for help. This princess is in charge of the princess's mansion, and I have several capable maids under me, all of whom are good housekeepers."
Shen Wei said: "Thank you, Princess. There are many experienced maids in the palace. With their assistance, I am not too tired."
Zhaoyang held his chin and stared at Shen Wei eagerly.
Shen Wei felt embarrassed by being stared at, so she smiled and said, "Is there a flower on my face? The princess has been staring at me."
Zhaoyang shook his head.
Zhaoyang looked at the green scenery in the yard. The wind blew, bringing the elegant fragrance of flowers to the pavilion and waterside terrace. Zhaoyang's tone was full of envy: "This princess thinks you are amazing... Second brother dotes on you, mother values you, the servants respect you, the daughter you gave birth to is also lovable, and even the flowers in the yard are blooming the most beautifully. You are amazing, it seems that no difficulty can stop you, and I have never seen you distressed."
In Shen Wei, Zhaoyang saw a kind of youthful vitality. Enthusiastic and proactive.
Being close to Shen Wei, one seems to be infected by this fresh vitality.
Chen Wei shook her Luo Fan and smiled: "It's a day of suffering, it's a day of happiness, we have to live our lives anyway, so we might as well live happily."
Zhaoyang thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true.
The maid brought sweet fruit wine. Last autumn, Chen Wei and King Yan picked fruits from the yard, soaked them in light wine, and stored them in the cellar for a winter and spring. When we opened the cellar in summer, the fruit wine had already fermented and became very mellow.
The fruit wine tasted really good. Zhaoyang drank a lot and even asked Chen Wei to drink with him. Zhaoyang was not very good at drinking, and soon she was drunk. She pulled Shen Wei's sleeve and said, "By the way, in early winter, it is the birthday of the old lady of Zhennan Marquis Mansion. Let's go together... I heard that Shangguan Xuan is coming back, and the landmines designed by his military advisor are very powerful... Boom, all the Yue people were scared away..."
Shen Wei's head was dizzy, and when she heard the word "land mine", the alcohol bug in her mind instantly disappeared.
My mind is clear.
Shen Wei put down her wine glass and approached Zhao Yang: "Land mine? Is it the kind of weapon that will blow people away if they step on it?"
Zhaoyang's cheeks flushed, and he nodded drunkenly: "It seems so... I overheard father talking about it. That military advisor Zhao is really powerful, the court is planning to reward him, and I guess Chu Dong will also return to the capital with Shangguan Xuan... Hehe, Madam Sun finally got her husband back."
"That bastard Yan Yunting also wants to come back to see me. Pah, I feel sick just by looking at him. He'd better not come back for the rest of his life."
Shen Wei’s face turned pale and her head was buzzing.
A military advisor, a military advisor who makes mines!
Perhaps, Military Advisor Zhao and I are from the same era, and also came to this world by accident?
