...
Early the next morning, Prince Yan came to Fangfei Garden before attending court and specially accompanied Chen Wei for breakfast.
Chen Wei is currently in great favor and has just sacrificed herself to protect Prince Yan from an assassin. The servants in the palace curry favor with the powerful and send all kinds of good things to Fangfei Garden. The breakfast at Fangfei Garden is naturally exquisite and delicious.
On the small dining table, there were shrimp and chicken porridge that had been cooked for a long time, pigeon and kelp soup that replenished the blood and nourished the spirit, stir-fried vegetables, and so on.
Shen Wei's left arm was injured and she couldn't hold the bowl, so she could only hold the spoon with her right hand and lower her head to drink the porridge. King Yan picked up the porridge bowl, stirred it with a small porcelain spoon, and fed Shen Wei the porridge himself.
Shen Wei's pretty face flushed, and she pursed her lips slightly, as if she was shy: "My Lord, there is no need to trouble you with such a small matter, just let Cai Ping do it."
King Yan smiled indulgently: "Be obedient and open your mouth."
Shen Wei opened her mouth silently.
After eating a bowl of porridge, Shen Wei said she was full. It was almost time for Prince Yan to attend court, so he stood up and prepared to leave Fangfei Garden.
Before leaving, King Yan walked around his vegetable garden twice.
He planted the seedlings himself two months ago. Now the vegetable garden is full of vitality. The Chinese cabbage and radish seedlings are growing very well. The eggplants, peppers and tomatoes have already bloomed and will soon bear fruit.
The King of Yan was satisfied and put on his court clothes to go to court.
After King Yan left, Shen Wei drank another bowl of porridge and ate half a plate of stewed pigeon. She is still too thin and needs to gain weight.
After eating and drinking, Shen Wei slowly went to the yard for a walk to digest the food, and checked the decoration of Fangfeiyuan by the way. As the weather is getting hotter and summer is approaching, the overall style of the yard should also be inclined towards summer.
"Master, the princess is here!" Caiping trotted over to remind him.
Chen Wei raised her willow-shaped eyebrows slightly, and brought the maids, eunuchs and nannies of Fangfei Garden to greet them respectfully at the gate of Fangfei Garden.
A princess who holds a high position rarely comes to the shabby courtyard where concubines live, which is inconsistent with her status.
But Shen Wei risked her life to save King Yan yesterday, and the news has spread across Yanjing, with everyone praising Shen Wei's courage. As the principal wife of Prince Yan’s Mansion, the princess had to come and visit Shen Wei in person.
At least the superficial etiquette should be in place.
The courtyard where the concubines lived was in the most remote southwest corner of the palace. Along the way, there were dilapidated flowers, plants and trees, and moss covered the old eaves.
The princess covered her nose. She really didn't want to step into such a dirty place. As they walked, the princess and her entourage arrived at Fangfei Garden.
When the princess saw the beautiful little courtyard, she almost thought she was seeing things. The walls of Fangfei Garden have been completely renovated. Beautiful pictures of lotus leaves and lotus flowers are painted on the walls, and pink crape myrtle flowers peek out from the top of the walls.
There are two lovely lanterns hanging on the eaves of Fangfei Garden. The ground under the eaves was covered with some furry green grass. Chen Wei was wearing a light yellow silk dress, standing at the entrance of Fangfei Garden, with the spring breeze blowing, like a fairy in a painting.
The princess was a little surprised.
She had thought that the courtyard where Shen Wei lived was decorated in an ordinary way, but she had never expected that Shen Wei would decorate it so exquisitely.
"Greetings to the princess." Chen Wei led the maids and eunuchs to pay their respects.
The princess walked into Fangfei Garden without changing her expression.
The scenery in the yard surprised the princess even more. This place is like a small fairyland. There are crape myrtle trees planted on the edge of the yard, bougainvillea in full bloom below, the grass is green, and there is a winding cobblestone path in the middle, which goes around the entire yard.
There is a small vegetable garden not far away, where eggplants are blooming and crops are growing vigorously. The lotus leaves in the pond are green. It is not summer yet and the little lotus leaves have just begun to show their pointed tips.
The entire Fangfei Garden exudes a vigorous vitality, which is incompatible with the gloomy and rigid palace.
“Chen Wei, you risked your life to save the prince, it’s really rare.” The princess clapped her hands, and a dozen maids came over with trays and stood in two rows.
The tray was filled with jewelry, pearls, jade, silks, satins, gold and silver.
Shen Wei's heart was pounding when she saw this. Money, money, money, so much money!
The princess slowly said, "When my mother learned that you risked your life to save the prince, she sent someone to give you a hundred taels of gold and a hundred-year-old ginseng to reward you for your contribution. Princess Zhaoyang gave you ten rolls of silk. I also gave you two boxes of pearls and two pairs of jade bracelets."
Shen Wei was extremely terrified and quickly bowed to express her gratitude.
Aunt Rong took Cai Lian and Cai Ping, took the rewarded jewels and gold, and put them into Shen Wei's personal treasury.
The princess asked about his health and then said, "The most important thing is to take good care of yourself and give birth to children for the prince as soon as possible."
Shen Wei's body moved slightly, she smiled bitterly and lowered her head: "Replying to the princess, of course I want to give birth to a child for the prince, but...but I am unlucky and have not been able to get pregnant so far."
She had been in favor for two months and had avoided getting pregnant only by drinking contraceptive soup.
Otherwise, with the terrifying frequency of King Yan doing it seven times that night, which was long-lasting and powerful, Shen Wei would have been pregnant long ago.
But Shen Wei pretended not to know about the contraceptive soup.
There was a flash of pity in the princess' eyes. The poor woman didn't even know that the man beside her had secretly replaced her body-replenishing medicine with contraceptive soup.
The prince is a cold-hearted person after all.
Even though Shen Wei was full of love for the prince, he only treated her as a bed warmer.
"You should take good care of your injuries." The princess didn't want to stay any longer and prepared to leave.
Shen Wei respectfully saw the God of Wealth out.
The princess left with her maid and the old nanny. When she turned the corner, she turned back. The princess looked at Shen Wei standing at the door, and in a trance she seemed to see her once energetic self.
Unfortunately, time later smoothed out his edges and determination.
Nanny Liu followed behind the princess and whispered, "Princess, Zhang Yue from the side courtyard has recovered from her injuries and can serve the prince."
