Zhang Miaoyu couldn't sleep or eat well.
After the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, Zhang Miaoyu ran to Shen Wei's palace as soon as possible. After waiting for a long time, Shen Wei finally came back.
Shen Wei raised her eyebrows and deliberately tested: "How impressive it is to manage the harem, do you really not want to share power with me?"
Zhang Miaoyu's face fell, and she said unhappily, "Don't test me. When I first married the emperor, I did think about seeking the position of the principal wife - but then I came to my senses. The most important thing in life is to be happy. My greatest happiness now is to eat and drink every day, bask in the sun, and play with Leyou Yaoer and the others."
Life is short, enjoy it while you can.
Managing a harem sounds impressive, but not everyone can do it well.
Zhang Miaoyu knew her own limitations and knew that she would not take on such a job if she did not have the necessary skills.
Shen Wei smiled and nodded: "In this case, I will not force you. But as a concubine, you can't be lazy and eat every day - I will assign you a task."
Zhang Miaoyu looked at Shen Wei warily: "What kind of work? I won't do it if it's too hard and tiring."
Chen Wei smiled and said, "I am in charge of the harem, so I don't think I have much free time to spend with the children. If Sister Miaoyu is free, please spend more time with Leyou, Yao'er, Nanzhi and Wan'er on my behalf."
Zhang Miaoyu breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest: "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
It was getting late and Zhang Miaoyu was ready to leave.
Before leaving, Zhang Miaoyu asked Chen Wei for two jars of her exclusive plum wine and two boxes of candied fruit, and then she left humming a song.
Shen Wei had been busy all day and was so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyes. She forced herself to take a shower and change clothes. Before falling asleep, Chen Wei did not forget to ask Cai Ping, who was putting down the bed curtains, "Did the news that the Tantai family sent the new bride to the palace reach Kunning Palace?"
Cai Ping nodded: "Don't worry, my master. The Queen Mother's birthday banquet has not yet ended. I have passed the news of the new arrival to Kunning Palace. My Queen, I am afraid you will not be able to sleep tonight."
Shen Wei then closed her eyes with relief.
Li Yuanjing will most likely go to accompany Lu Xuan tonight, and Chen Wei will be happy and at ease.
This bed belongs to her alone. Shen Wei hugged the quilt comfortably and fell into a wonderful dream.
Half asleep and half awake, Shen Wei suddenly felt stuffy. She opened her eyes sleepily, and found a man lying next to her pillow!
In the middle of the night, anyone who dares to openly run into the imperial concubine's bed to sleep is either the emperor or an adulterer.
The light was dim in the bed curtains, and Shen Wei's nose moved slightly. She smelled a familiar scent, it was definitely Li Yuanjing.
Feeling the warm breath beside her ear, Shen Wei reached out and touched Li Yuanjing's face, and deliberately said, "Your Majesty, are you not going to Changxin Palace to accompany Concubine Shu?"
Li Yuanjing is in a good mood tonight.
The flood in the south was handled very well, without causing any plague or too many casualties among the people, and reconstruction in the disaster-stricken areas was carried out in an orderly manner.
"I will go see her tomorrow." Li Yuanjing put his arm around Shen Wei's waist. He still preferred to hold Shen Wei in his arms and fall asleep.
Chen Wei is fragrant and soft, and very comfortable to hug.
Shen Wei rolled her eyes silently in her heart and teased, “Then the emperor should take a different route and go to Huayang Palace to see his new sister.”
Li Yuanjing raised his handsome eyebrows slightly, pinched Shen Wei's smooth chin with his fingers, and smiled: "What did you eat tonight? It smells like vinegar."
He likes Shen Wei to be jealous.
All the women in the palace pretend to be generous. Only Shen Wei dared to show the bitterness in her heart, but she was not too jealous and was just the right amount of jealousy.
Shen Wei snorted.
The night was quiet. Shen Wei's soft and gentle humming, with a bit of girlish charm, was like a feather hooking on Li Yuanjing's heart, making him feel itchy.
Li Yuanjing came closer like a wolf and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm hungry."
The two were very close.
Airtight.
Shen Wei could clearly feel his "hunger".
Shen Wei was sleeping soundly, but was woken up by the bad man in the middle of the night. She was already very angry. Now the man was pinching her waist again, shouting that he was hungry.
When has he ever been full?
Shen Wei gritted her teeth secretly, and a bold decision came to her mind. She suddenly smiled at Li Yuanjing, and put her slender jade-like arms around him, and the bed curtains fell like flowing clouds...
On a late spring night, a drizzle began to fall outside the window and did not stop until dawn.
After dawn, Li Yuanjing held his waist with his left hand and the wall with his right hand, walked out of the bedroom and attended the morning court.
Shen Wei didn't get up to see her off.
For the next five consecutive days, Li Yuanjing stayed alone in the Xuanming Hall, where the emperor slept alone, and never summoned other concubines.
...
...
In Huayang Palace, crape myrtles are in full bloom.
Tan Tai Yinxue, who had just been named a concubine, lived in a side hall of Huayang Palace. On the night she was conferred the title of Concubine, Tan Tai Yin Xue bathed, changed her clothes, and waited excitedly for the Emperor to summon her to his bedchamber.
As long as the emperor sleeps with her, she will surely win his favor with her superb skills in the boudoir.
But for several days, Tan Tai Yinxue didn't wait for the emperor, and she couldn't help feeling anxious.
Tan Tai Yin Xue sent someone to inquire and learned that the emperor had been staying alone in Xuan Ming Palace these days.
When Concubine Shu was pregnant, the Emperor only visited her twice during the day, giving her generous gifts but never staying overnight.
Of course, I didn’t go to the Concubine Chen’s Yongning Palace to rest.
The emperor did not go to the concubines' palaces. After finishing his state affairs during the day, he went to the training ground more often to practice martial arts, archery, horse riding and lifting tripods.
Tan Tai Yin Xue sneered: "They say that Concubine Shu and Concubine Chen are favored, but I have been in the palace for a few days and I don't see them being favored much."
The personal maid echoed, "They are all women who have given birth, their beauty has faded and their love has faded. Master, we must seize the opportunity."
Tan Tai Yin Xue naturally knew that she had to seize the opportunity, but she was puzzled: "Even if he is tired of the old one, there are new ones in the palace, but why did the emperor sleep alone these days..."
The personal maid also shook her head and said she didn't know.
Life in Huayang Palace was really hard. Concubine Lan Xie Fanglan was sarcastic and mocking every day, and relying on her status as the mistress of the palace, she suppressed Tan Tai Yinxue everywhere.
Tan Tai Yin Xue is not a vegetarian either.
She added some medicine to Lanpin's tranquilizing soup, and Lanpin soon "fell ill" and stayed in the house all day to recuperate, having no time to target Tan Tai Yinxue.
Tan Tai Yin Xue temporarily suppressed Lan Bin. After much thought, she decided to take the initiative to win the emperor's favor.
Tan Tai Yinxue asked her personal maid to prepare a bowl of lotus seed, white fungus and chicken soup. When she heard that the emperor was practicing martial arts in the training ground, she dressed up carefully and walked towards the training ground.
...
In the afternoon, the weather was clear.
After Li Yuanjing finished his state affairs, he went to the training ground in the palace to exercise. The training ground was a place for the emperor to exercise in his spare time, where he could practice riding, archery, swordplay, and lifting tripods.
Lee Seung-tae and Lee Seung-woo were there too. They picked up the tiny children's bows and arrows and practiced seriously.
After exercising for half an hour, Li Chengyou glanced out of the corner of his eye and found that his father was secretly holding his waist not far away.
He clutched the bow and arrow, ran to Li Yuanjing, raised his head, and asked with a worried look, "Father, have you hurt your waist these days?"
