Liu Ruyan thought of her parents. When her mother was pregnant, her father declined his official duties and stayed at home with her mother every day. Even when criticized by his colleagues, my father was never afraid.
With a loving pair of parents as an example, Leo Ruwan has hoped to marry a man who loves her wholeheartedly since she was a child. It's a pity that not every man is as loyal as her father...
Liu Ruyan sighed and closed her eyes sadly: "Old things are naturally better than new ones."
Xuemei watched silently for a long time. She slapped a mosquito that flew onto her arm and asked again, "Master, shall we take a rest?"
Liu Ruyan shed a tear in the corner of her eyes: "It's getting late and the dew is heavy, I can't sleep. Xuemei, please light another lamp. I want to read for a while longer."
Xuemei replied numbly: "...Okay."
When will this miserable life of being forced to stay up late and work overtime every day end?
...
Liu Ruyan was not asleep, and the Mingyue Courtyard next door was also brightly lit with candles. Concubine Liu Qiao'er from Mingyue Courtyard was fanning two children beside the bed.
The night was hot and stuffy, with mosquitoes buzzing everywhere.
Liu Qiaoer fanned herself gently and looked at the two sleeping children with loving eyes. The child was sleeping soundly, his little face, as big as a palm, was round and cute. The more Liu Qiaoer looked at him, the more she liked him.
In her previous life, she was blinded by power and even used her two children to compete for favor. In the end, the family broke up and the children died.
She would not make the same mistake again and would not watch her two children die.
"Master, there's news from outside that the one in Liuli Pavilion is pregnant, and even the queen has sent a reward." The maid reported in a low voice.
Liu Qiaoer paused in fanning herself.
Liu Qiaoer wondered, "Pregnant?"
I vaguely remember that in the previous life, this Shen Wei was only favored for a month before she completely fell out of favor. But now, Shen Wei is becoming more and more prosperous day by day.
Liu Qiaoer couldn't help but wonder, could it be that she didn't compete with Shen Wei for favor, and accidentally changed Shen Wei's fate?
As for the Queen's reward to Shen Wei, Liu Qiaoer was not surprised. The princess and the queen were playing against each other and disliked each other, so Shen Wei got a lot of benefits for nothing.
Liu Qiaoer said sympathetically: “Chen Wei doesn’t know the princess’s methods.”
Although the princess worshipped Buddha every day, she didn't care much about the struggles in the harem. But Liu Qiaoer knew in her heart that deep down, the princess was jealous of every new favorite of the Prince of Yan.
When Liu Qiaoer was pregnant, the princess deliberately found several beautiful concubines to share her favor, which caused Liu Qiaoer to be restless during her pregnancy and had difficulty giving birth.
Liu Qiaoer sneered: "Chen Wei may seem to be in great shape, but in fact, every step she takes is on the edge of a cliff."
The maid looked at the two sleeping young masters and kindly reminded them, "Master, since Shen is pregnant, it is inconvenient for her to serve the prince during her pregnancy. Why don't you go to the prince's place more often? Maybe the prince will take back the share of our courtyard because of our old friendship."
Although Liu Qiaoer is now a concubine, Prince Yan has never set foot in Mingyue Courtyard again.
The share of concubines was also reduced.
Liu Qiaoer said calmly: "I don't want to fall into the cage of competing for favor again. It's a blessing to have children around, a safe family, and a peaceful life. Don't look down on Shen Wei's glory, you will only lose everything in the future."
No one could be a match for the woman who entered the palace in her previous life. Even the princess who had a hypocritical heart and a sweet mouth was almost dragged down from her throne by that woman.
The reason why Shen Wei could enjoy such great glory in the palace was that she had never encountered a truly powerful opponent. When she enters the palace in the future, Shen Wei, a peasant girl with no background or support, will be trampled to pieces by that woman.
...
Early the next morning, Shen Wei and King Yan had breakfast together. In the hot summer, Shen Wei would drink half a cup of iced milk every morning. She was holding the porcelain bowl and was about to drink it when King Yan opposite her stared at her eagerly.
"Weiwei, don't seek coolness." Prince Yan frowned deeply.
Shen Wei silently put down the iced milk.
Does Prince Yan want to be her mother?
Seeing that Shen Wei was well-behaved and obedient, King Yan was very satisfied.
The Prince of Yan did not like being lectured by others. He would feel annoyed when the princess repeatedly pointed fingers at him. But what the Prince of Yan did not know was that he himself quite liked to lecture others.
People always selectively ignore their own shortcomings.
After breakfast, King Yan went to the morning court. Before leaving, King Yan thought of Chen Wei's love for coolness and ice cream, so he specifically instructed Rong Mama and others in Liuli Pavilion to take good care of Chen Wei's body and not let her eat too much.
As soon as Prince Yan left, Shen Wei took a leisurely walk in the yard, practiced Tai Chi for a while, and ran for a while.
Pregnant women also need to exercise, as it has many benefits. Exercising the abdominal and pelvic muscles can reduce limb edema and other problems, which will help with future childbirth. Moderate exercise will help you get back in shape faster after giving birth.
Pregnant mothers who exercise regularly will give birth to more lively and healthy children.
After finishing her exercise, Shen Wei took the towel handed to her by Cai Ping and wiped the sweat from her forehead. Cai Ping lowered her voice and said, "Master, Madam Rong asked me to tell you that the carriage is ready."
Shen Wei wiped the sweat from her forehead: "Keep a low profile and tell others that I'm out visiting relatives."
Shen Wei is going to meet Ye Qiu Shuang today to discuss the dessert shop's business expansion plan. The weather was hot, and Shen Wei wore a long white veil to cover her face as she rode in a carriage in a low-key manner to an inn in Yanjing.
When we walked into the private room, Ye Qiushuang and Boss Zhang were already waiting.
Boss Zhang is the owner of "Zhang Fu Ji". Later, he cooperated with Ye Qiu Shuang, and the two shops jointly prepared desserts for Princess Zhaoyang's birthday banquet.
The guys in Boss Zhang's shop are very experienced and can keep a stable mentality even in big occasions like the princess' birthday party. The dessert was flawless from the moment it was made to the moment it was served.
