Shen Wei was applying a facial mask and asked lazily, "What does the princess want to see me about?"
Cai Lian said, "The spring banquet of the palace is coming. The princess sent someone to buy a batch of fine fabrics to be distributed to all the women in the harem."
Shen Wei was a little disappointed: “Wait for me to wash my face, I’ll go right away.”
It turns out it's just allocating fabric.
She thought that she had been too popular recently, which caused the princess to dislike her and wanted to make things difficult for her.
Shen Wei found it boring and not challenging at all. The wives and concubines in the backyard of this palace are all indifferent to fame and fortune, and are just lazy and idle. There is really no place for her, the king of money, to use her skills.
Alas, how lonely it is to be invincible.
After packing up, Chen Wei stepped out of Fangfei Garden and went to Kunyu Courtyard to pay her respects to the princess.
Passing by the flower room of the palace, Shen Wei didn't notice that a maid in the flower room was looking at her with jealous eyes.
"Chen Wei, you are so glorious." Zhang Yue held a flower pot in her hand and looked at Chen Wei who was passing by with jealousy on her face.
Shen Wei was the only one favored by the prince, and her status rose rapidly. Her food, clothing and other expenses were only worse than those of the princess. Looking at herself, Zhang Yue lowered her head to look at her rough fingers.
From working hard every day, her hands became calloused and her beautiful fair face began to turn yellow.
Squeezed in the smelly maid's room at night, Zhang Yue would also feel confused - if she had agreed to be the prince's concubine, would she have the same glory as Shen Wei?
My own failure is a pity, but my colleague’s success is even more heartbreaking.
Zhang Yue gritted her teeth and could only keep comforting herself: "The prince's love is short-lived, Shen Wei will fall out of favor sooner or later."
...
Shen Wei went to Princess Yan's courtyard, she arrived the latest.
It wasn't that she was late on purpose, but that the princess deliberately notified her the latest. Chen Wei laughed secretly in her heart. This princess seemed to be as calm as a chrysanthemum, but she was actually quite cunning.
Looking around, Shen Wei saw Liu Ruyan in white, the chubby concubine Zhang Miaoyu, the worried concubine Liu Qiaoer, and a dozen concubines and maids. Everyone was chatting and the yard was very lively.
When Shen Wei appeared, the yard suddenly became quiet.
Everyone's eyes turned towards Shen Wei. Shen Wei was dressed glamorously, looking exceptionally bright and beautiful, with a face as pretty as a peach and a graceful look.
In contrast, the other wives and concubines were dressed beautifully, but they had no makeup on their faces and their expressions looked dull.
Shen Wei knelt and saluted: "Greetings to the princess, greetings to all the sisters."
The princess sat at the main seat and said in a friendly manner, "Now that everyone is here, let's start distributing the materials. Shen, the prince has been very fond of you recently, so you will be the first one to choose."
Shen Wei looked terrified: "I dare not, with my status and position, how dare I be the first to choose."
Letting her be the first to take action is a deliberate attempt to make trouble for her.
The princess gently held the teacup and took a sip slowly: "The prince loves you the most, so you can certainly bear it."
If Shen Wei refuses again, it would be disrespectful to the princess. She had no choice but to kneel down and said, "Then I will respectfully obey your command."
She was the first to come forward and select the fabric.
His eyes lingered on the fabrics.
The quality of the fabric can be seen with the naked eye. Good fabrics are radiant and sparkle in the sunlight. Inferior fabrics are dull and have ugly patterns.
Shen Wei looked around and pointed directly at the best piece of cloth, saying excitedly: "Cai Lian, we want this piece of cloth."
This is the most expensive floating brocade, and there is only one piece of it. The main color is light silver, the fabric is soft, and it glows with beautiful silver light under the sunlight.
Cai Lian knew what was good, she secretly winked at Chen Wei: No! Only princesses and princes are qualified to use this kind of cloth!
Although Chen Wei was favored by the prince, she was just a lowly concubine. How could she wear expensive floating brocade?
"Sister Chen Wei, you should change to another piece of cloth." Concubine Zhang Miaoyu kindly reminded.
Zhang Miaoyu is plump but has a kind heart.
She couldn't bear to watch her beautiful sister dig her own grave.
Shen Wei turned around and looked at the people who were watching. Liu Ruyan showed sympathy, Liu Qiaoer looked disdainful, and the other concubines just watched the fun without any hesitation.
Only Zhang Miaoyu spoke up to remind them.
It's also a good intention.
Shen Wei retracted her gaze, with a completely arrogant look of a villain who had achieved success: "I want this one, Cai Lian, keep it."
Cai Lian gritted her teeth and held the cloth, her heart sinking.
My Lord, there is no hope...
“You have good eyesight.” The princess took a sip of Biluochun, seemingly praising Shen Wei, but actually hiding the sarcasm at the corners of her lips.
This Shen Wei was born in poverty and has a short-sighted vision.
He dares to take what he sees as soon as he sees something good. He is so greedy.
A beautiful but stupid woman will not be able to enjoy her glory in the palace for many days.
