Shen Wei knew that she and the princess would be on opposite sides sooner or later.
She has to hurry up and grow up.
Aunt Rong had been in the palace for a long time, and she had never seen a master like Shen Wei, who was young, smart and insightful.
Madam Rong felt emotional, knowing that she had followed the right person. Madam Rong secretly made up her mind that she must cling tightly to Chen Wei, the big tree that was about to grow.
Out of concern, Rong Mama reminded Shen Wei: "Master. The princess is a snake in the heart. She will definitely find some new people for the prince during your pregnancy."
Shen Wei is pregnant, so it is not convenient for her to serve the prince. The princess will use this as an excuse to bring a beautiful bride into the palace and take away Shen Wei's favor.
"Don't worry." Shen Wei drank a sip of sour citrate water, "The new person the princess found is nothing to be afraid of."
Shen Wei understood the princess’s character.
When the princess chose concubines, she only dared to look for women of low status to share her favor.
The princess would never allow women with a little family background to enter the palace, fearing that they might threaten her position.
Shen Wei put down the porcelain cup and sighed silently.
It’s just a pity for these girls, who have become disposable tools in the hands of the princess. The southwestern courtyard of Prince Yan's Mansion appeared in front of Shen Wei's eyes. Those dilapidated courtyards were as gloomy as tombs, and there were countless withered girls imprisoned in them.
Shen Wei instructed Rong Mama: "Please organize the Queen's rewards carefully. Make sure to record the valuables in the book and keep them well."
Aunt Rong nodded happily: "Master, don't worry, I will definitely organize it carefully."
Aunt Rong went to sort out the Queen's rewards. Shen Wei returned to the main room, picked up the brush and started practicing calligraphy. Although she is pregnant now, she still has to practice calligraphy, grow vegetables, and fight for favor, and the internal competition cannot stop for a moment.
While writing, Shen Wei summarized today's "work report" in her mind.
Today she went to attend Princess Zhaoyang's birthday banquet, and gained a lot - she cleverly announced the news of her pregnancy, making the Queen the guarantee of her unborn child; she received a huge reward from the Queen, which enriched the treasury that was almost empty; the desserts in the dessert shop were tasted by the Emperor and the Queen themselves, which expanded her popularity.
After taking stock of today's gains in her mind, Shen Wei carefully planned her next steps.
She will take time out tomorrow to meet Ye Qiu Shuang and strike while the iron is hot to expand the scale of the dessert shop.
It was her first pregnancy, and in order to ensure the safety of the baby in her belly, she had to make a lot of preparations in advance. For example, exercise, supplement nutrition for the mother, find a suitable midwife in advance, and think about postpartum body care...
Of course, we also have to take care of King Yan's emotions during the pregnancy. He couldn’t let King Yan think that Shen Wei ignored him just because she had a child.
In addition, Rong Mama was also asked to go to the Confucian Temple in the suburbs of Beijing to continue to persuade her younger brother Shen Xiuming, who was preparing for the exam, to constantly inspire him to study hard.
Shen Wei continued to practice calligraphy while thinking about future plans. Cai Ping walked into the room and asked Chen Wei in a low voice: "Master, you are pregnant now, so you must be careful about your daily diet. Can you change the dishes for tonight to ones that are good for the fetus?"
Chen Wei held the brush tightly, thought for a moment, and asked Cai Ping: "Cai Ping, you have been in the palace for a long time. Did the wives and concubines get pregnant in the past few years cause a big commotion?"
Cai Ping recalled the past and nodded: "Of course, they all wanted to fly to the sky. They wanted the best food, clothing and daily necessities, fearing that it would be harmful to the baby in their belly."
Chen Wei thought for a moment and told Cai Ping, "Don't change the dinner dishes tonight, just keep it as usual. Make more of my favorite fried meatballs."
Cai Ping was horrified: "Master, a woman's pregnancy is most unstable in the first three months, so she shouldn't eat too much spicy and greasy food. If you do this, it will be bad for the baby in your belly!"
Shen Wei smiled and glanced at Cai Ping: "Not asking is asking, not doing is doing. Taking the initiative to fight for it will attract disgust, it is better to let others take the initiative to give it to you."
Caiping was full of questions.
I don't quite understand what he said, but it seems very powerful.
...
On the other side, Prince Yan and his guards returned to Prince Yan's Mansion in the night.
Since Shen Wei is pregnant, King Yan will naturally go to visit her. He liked the Glazed Pavilion very much. It gave him a special feeling - not as closed as the Imperial Palace, not as rigid as the front yard of the Prince's Mansion, and not as solemn as the East Palace.
The Liuli Pavilion is full of vitality, fresh and full of life. Every time he walked into the Glazed Pavilion, Prince Yan’s fatigue would always dissipate a little. And Shen Wei's bright and lively smile seemed to be contagious, which could be transmitted to King Yan and make him happy.
On the way to Liuli Pavilion, Fugui followed Prince Yan and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Your Majesty. Master Shen is pregnant, and our palace will be more lively in the future."
A smile appeared on King Yan's face.
But as he laughed, he suddenly felt a little melancholy... He should be happy that his beloved concubine was pregnant.
But the past events are still vivid in my mind, and a pregnant woman’s emotions are unpredictable! It's really elusive!
When the princess was pregnant, she devoted almost all her heart and soul to the baby in her belly. She was so meticulous that even the dishes on the table had to be good for the baby. The princess also directly replaced the incense that Prince Yan liked, saying that she felt uncomfortable smelling it during her pregnancy.
At night, Prince Yan went to accompany the pregnant princess, but the princess said that she was pregnant and it was inconvenient for her to serve him, and asked Prince Yan to find another concubine. Prince Yan turned around to find the concubine, and the princess got angry in the house again.
As for the other concubines, their personalities also changed drastically when they became pregnant. Prince Yan was busy handling official duties, and every now and then a maid would come to report that her pregnant mistress was feeling unwell and asked Prince Yan to come over and take a look.
He is not an imperial physician! What's the point of looking for him?
She would go to him when she had a stomachache, when she vomited after eating, and when she had a dispute with other concubines... Once or twice, the Prince of Yan would go to visit her. After this happened so many times, King Yan just felt annoyed.
