Shen Wei's heart was pounding, money, so much money!
Shen Wei kowtowed and thanked her: "I am Shen Wei, thank you for your reward, Your Majesty."
The princess looked at those precious rewards, her eyes darkened, and a sour feeling surged in her heart. The princess silently took out the Buddhist beads from her sleeve and fiddled with them between her fingers. As the beads rolled one by one, the princess forced herself to suppress the sour and jealous emotions.
She's just a concubine, she enjoys some glory occasionally, there's nothing to be afraid of.

There was no other way, Shen Wei could only look for help to King Yan who was not far away.

Prince Yan was wearing court robes today, with handsome features and a majestic and domineering demeanor. Shen Wei walked over with a grateful look in her eyes and sat down obediently beside King Yan.
The gift-giving session ended and beautiful singing and dancing began again. The banquet was filled with the aroma of wine and the clinking of glasses, and it was very lively.
Soon, the kitchen brought out the exquisite desserts.
In the clear white porcelain bowls, there are three kinds of desserts: brown sugar jelly, mint tapioca pearls, and peach gum stewed with fresh milk.
