Shen Wei knew that King Heng was deliberately targeting her.
But when this scene fell into the eyes of outsiders, everyone believed that Prince Heng was "using a small force to achieve a great result" and was damaging Prince Yan's reputation by suppressing a minor concubine.
After all, no one would think that the dignified Prince Heng would deliberately target a little concubine.
Zhaoyang was a simple-minded person, and had no idea of Prince Heng's plan. She smiled happily: "Chen Wei, what birthday gift did you prepare for me?"
The princess spoke in person, and Shen Wei had to bite the bullet and stand up. She lowered her head and walked cautiously to the center of the main hall.
Shen Wei's posture of saluting was very standard, but her voice was trembling slightly: "I am Shen Wei, paying my respects to the Queen, and to Her Royal Highness the Princess..."
She played the role of a concubine who had never seen the world to perfection.
King Heng, who was not far away, snorted softly.
Keep pretending.
Prince Heng's eyes were like a mirror, and he saw everything clearly - Shen Wei lowered her head deliberately and her body trembled deliberately, but she was actually very calm inside. Look at the standard salute movements, there is no mistake at all.
The queen narrowed her eyes and said in a calm voice, "I have heard something about Shen from Prince Yan's Mansion. Look up."
Shen Wei raised her head cautiously and looked down, not daring to look directly at the queen.
The queen was quite satisfied to see that Shen Wei was dressed elegantly and gracefully, and behaved very properly. She is indeed very good-looking and has an indescribable temperament. No wonder King Yan likes her.
It’s a pity that she’s still not pregnant after being favored for several months.
The princess frowned deeply, and secretly cursed Prince Heng in her heart for picking on a little concubine!
The gift that Chen Wei sent was a test of her level - it couldn't be too expensive or luxurious, exceeding the level of the gifts given to other officials' wives, which would be disrespectful; but it couldn't be too cheap, which would damage the reputation of the Prince of Yan's Mansion; the most important point was that the princess had to like it.
It is quite difficult to make the princess like someone from the bottom of her heart.
The princess really couldn't think of what to give.
Prince Heng shook the white jade fan in his hand, narrowed his peach blossom eyes playfully, and waited to see this cunning little fox suffer a setback.
Chen Wei's throat moved slightly with "nervousness". She took out a letter from her sleeve and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Highness, I am from a humble background and cannot afford an expensive gift. After thinking about it, I am willing to give my treasured beauty recipe to the princess.
I wish Her Royal Highness the Princess [may have a long and rosy face, and flowers on her head, year after year]. ”
Giving expensive gifts will steal the show.
Giving cheap gifts is disrespectful.
It would be better to give her a recipe for a treasured beauty mask. It is not cheap and the princess will benefit from it greatly.
There is no woman who doesn't love beauty, and princesses are no exception.
Zhaoyang said happily: "Quick, send this prescription here!" Princess Zhaoyang always felt that Chen Wei's skin was particularly white and delicate.
It turns out that her skin is so good because she used a treasured beauty recipe!
The young women at the birthday party looked over curiously, and when they saw Shen Wei's fair skin, there was a hint of envy in their eyes. They also want beauty tips...
Zhaoyang liked this gift very much, and Shen Wei also perfectly resolved her dilemma.
The princess secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Shen was lucky and had escaped the disaster by accident.
Prince Heng slammed the white jade fan shut, his peach blossom eyes narrowed dangerously. This woman was really smart and helped her escape from danger again.
Second brother is so lucky, where did he find this wonderful person? He also wanted to find a similar concubine to keep at home to entertain him.
The queen smiled, and she couldn't help but look at Shen Wei again. Thinking of giving a beauty recipe as a gift is not an accident, it must be the result of careful and thorough consideration.
Although Shen looks timid and cowardly, I didn't expect that she actually has a smart and clever mind.
It's really rare.
The Queen said with a pleasant expression: "Ms. Shen, you saved Zhaoyang and gave me a beauty recipe. I want to reward you——"
Before she finished her words, the old nanny beside the queen suddenly hurried over and said something in her ear.
The queen looked surprised.
Then, from outside the house came the sharp and piercing shouts of the palace eunuchs: "The Emperor has arrived! The Crown Prince has arrived! The Prince of Yan has arrived!"
Everyone was shocked!
Shen Wei quickly lowered her head to hide the surprise in her eyes.
Shen Wei had long heard that the current emperor was in poor health and had been bedridden for a long time. I didn’t expect that the emperor would come to the princess’s mansion in person to celebrate Zhaoyang’s birthday!
This shows how much the emperor favors Zhaoyang!
Chen Wei was surprised and complained in her heart - Zhaoyang, you are confused. You have the great favor of the emperor and the empress, and you can walk sideways in the entire Daqing Kingdom, but you are bullied by a little Tan Tairou and become depressed. You are really not worthy of your identity as a princess.
When the emperor arrived, all the officials and their wives kowtowed to him.
Shen Wei kowtowed along with the others, and pricked up her ears to hear the dense footsteps reaching the main seat. Then, a hoarse and weathered voice came from the main seat: "Everyone, please stand up."
Everyone stood up in unison, bowed to the host again, and then took their seats one after another.
Shen Wei couldn't go back because the queen was still asking her questions.
On the main throne, the old emperor with gray hair on his temples smiled and said, "Queen, what are you talking about with Zhaoyang?"
The queen replied, "Shen from Yuanjing Mansion saved Zhaoyang's life and gave Zhaoyang a beauty recipe. I was just thinking of giving her something as a reward."
Shen Wei stood properly, not daring to raise her head.
Shen Wei pricked up her ears and heard the queen asking the old nanny beside her to reward her with a series of things. Shen Wei's ears were buzzing, and her mind was full of "gold, silver, jade, snacks, silk, pearls, amber, and gold and silver"...
The palace maids and eunuchs brought in several trays covered with bright yellow brocade scarves, and the silk was carried in boxes.
