Receiving education is not just a privilege for boys, girls also need to read to gain knowledge and broaden their horizons.
Especially a princess of the royal family must never be an empty-headed, willful and vicious fool. Think about Princess Zhaoyang who married far away. Although she was a little lovesick, she cared about the people, was kind and smart, would not do anything bad that would harm others, and had an excellent reputation.
Cai Lian remembered Shen Wei's instructions.
"In addition, let Rong Mama send the list of porcelain, spices, fabrics, and flowers needed by the royal family this year to Shopkeeper Ye." Shen Wei is in charge of the harem, so naturally she won't be a hardworking housekeeper for nothing. She has to make money.
She is confident because she has money in her pocket and power in her hands.
The royal money is the easiest to make, with one project earning thousands or even tens of thousands of taels of silver, making a huge profit.
Relying on the royal family, Shen Wei's business empire is expanding rapidly.
Cai Lian went to do what Shen Wei asked her to do. Shen Wei stretched, washed the mask off her face with clean water, and then applied a thin layer of ointment. He moved his shoulders and slowly stood up, then slowly performed a set of Ba Duan Jin by the lotus pond.
Managing a harem is hard work, but one must not forget about beauty and fitness. Li Yuanjing currently dotes on her very much. He stays in Yongning Palace most of the time in a month. He also goes to Lu Xuan and Zhang Miaoyu's palaces. He also summoned Tan Tai Yinxue to his palace two days ago.
There is never a shortage of beauties in the palace, and there is always a crisis. Shen Wei dare not let her guard down and must continue to roll.
She touched her face and sighed, thinking that I would have to serve you with my beauty for another ten years.
...
...
In Huayang Palace, crape myrtles are in full bloom.
Tan Tai Yin Xue sat in the yard and sipped her tea slowly. Today, the head of the Tan Tai family came to the palace and secretly sent someone to give her some precious flower tea. He also told her to capture the emperor's heart and give birth to a prince as soon as possible.
In the celadon teacup, the tea is clear and has a light fragrance.
Tan Tai Yin Xue frowned slightly and sighed secretly. After much anticipation, the emperor finally came two days ago and she got to sleep with him as she wished.
But serving the emperor in bed did not go as smoothly as she expected. The emperor was handsome and strong. Tantai Yinxue closed her eyes and felt like she was experiencing a nightmare...
"Concubine Shu and Concubine Chen are truly extraordinary people." Tan Tai Yin Xue sighed inwardly.
Before she got married, Tantai Yinxue heard people say that Li Yuanjing was extremely strong and his concubines could not bear it.
It's really scary to go through it once.
Li Yuanjing's strong arms for drawing the bow and shooting arrows, and his sturdy legs for riding a horse, were simply torture for his daughter's fragile little body.
Tan Tai Yin Xue has a delicate body, so she goes on a diet to maintain her slim waist. Now, two days have passed since she had slept with the emperor, and she still feels pain in her bones. The secret techniques of the boudoir that the old nanny taught her were of no use at all.
"Master, the medicine is ready." The palace maid brought the boiled medicine.
Tan Tai Yin Xue endured the bitterness and drank the medicine in one gulp. This soup is a tonic for the woman's body, and she hopes that there is already a dragon seed in her belly.
"Oh, Concubine Xue is in such a good mood, drinking tea under the crape myrtle tree, so elegant." Concubine Lan walked over slowly, shaking the orchid fan in her hand, with disdain in her eyes.
We are in the same palace, we can see each other when we look up or down. Since Concubine Lan held a high position, Tan Tai Yin Xue had no choice but to stand up and pay her respects.
Lanpin sighed and said sarcastically, "Congratulations, sister, for finally getting the emperor's favor. It's a pity that after serving him in the emperor's bed, she is still a concubine and didn't even get a noble lady."
Tan Tai Yin Xue's pain point was hit and her eyes were dim.
Since she entered the emperor's bedchamber, the emperor has never paid any attention to her again. Tan Tai Yin Xue went to the Chang'an Palace to pay her respects this morning, but was tactfully stopped by Eunuch De Shun, who said that the emperor was busy.
Tan Tai Yinxue's heart was as clear as a mirror. The emperor was not busy at all, he just didn't want to see her.
Lanpin glanced at the medicine bowl on the table, smelled a faint smell of medicine, and said sarcastically: "The emperor only came once, do you really think you can get pregnant?"
Concubine Lan hates Tan Tai Yin Xue very much.
This bitch secretly poisoned her, leaving her bedridden. Later, Concubine Lan turned Huayang Palace upside down but could not find any evidence of murder.
Fortunately, Concubine Lan had given money to Cai Lian, the head maid of Yongning Palace, some time ago and received secret guidance from Cai Lian. Concubine Lan used her status as a concubine to suppress Tan Tai Yin Xue every day. She mocked her when they met and cursed her behind her back. In order to prevent Tan Tai Yinxue from poisoning her, she followed Cai Lian's advice and took Tan Tai Yinxue to have meals with her every day.
The meals of concubines are richer than those of imperial concubines. It’s the same dish, the same pot of soup. Lanpin will only eat it after Tantai Yinxue has tasted it. Both of them had small appetites, and there was a lot of leftovers from their daily meals. Concubine Lan distributed the remaining food and soup to the servants in the palace.
If Tan Tai Yinxue dares to poison again, all the palace maids and eunuchs in Huayang Palace will fall ill. A large-scale collective food poisoning will definitely attract the attention of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager.
Although this method is clumsy, it is surprisingly effective. Not only did Concubine Lan disgust Tan Tai Yin Xue, she also gained a good reputation for being "kind to the sisters in the palace."
After all, there are distinctions between the highest and the lowest in the palace, and it is rare that Concubine Lan is willing to share her rich meals with the little imperial concubine.
"Don't worry about my sister's affairs." Tan Tai Yin Xue looked bored.
Lanpin smiled and said proudly, "I am the head of Huayang Palace and have the right to manage the palace servants. Disciplining my sister is in line with the rules and regulations of the harem. Even if you report it to Concubine Chen, I am still right."
Tan Tai Yinxue was secretly gnashing her teeth. She couldn't stand Concubine Lan, but she couldn't kill her, which made her feel very aggrieved.
Concubine Lan is the niece of the Empress Dowager, and the Xie family is more powerful than the Tantai family.
She, Tan Tai Yinxue, entered the palace with her sights set on the throne of queen. But after entering the palace, it seemed as if there was an invisible hand that trapped her in the small Huayang Palace.
Lanpin spoke in a sarcastic tone for a while before slowly going back to take a nap. Tan Tai Yin Xue's maid's eyes turned red with grievance.
