The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

During the period when Xie Run fell out of favor with King Jing, Concubine Fang was particularly favored.

Fang Yuan'er was so popular that she even overshadowed the former concubine Yun.

After changing her identity, Fang Yuaner acted much more cautiously than before, and she no longer pretended to be sick to win favor.

Xie Run heard that Fang Yuaner had specially sent a gift to Concubine An to apologize.

A few days later, King Jing went to his concubine An's room to spend the night.

Concubine An was originally dissatisfied with Fang Yuan'er, but after these moves, she couldn't wait to pay her respects to Fang Yuan'er every day, and all she talked about was Sister Fang.

It's not just Concubine An's side.

Fang Yuan'er had tens of thousands of taels of silver in her hands and she didn't feel bad about spending it. Ninety percent of the concubines in the courtyard were favored by her, and her popularity improved.

Chinese Valentine's Day will soon arrive.

Qixi Festival is a major festival, and King Jing and the Queen will go to the palace to attend a night banquet.

A banquet was also prepared in the palace.

According to past examples, Concubine Ning was responsible, but this year the Second Young Master passed away, and Concubine Ning was demoted to Concubine Ning. Logically, she no longer had the qualifications.

But King Jing favored her and asked her to prepare it.

Xie Run thought that it was probably because of the eldest son's face.

He is the only young master in the mansion. If he steps on Concubine Ning, he would be humiliating the eldest young master.

Prince Jing did not like Concubine Ning, but he still loved the eldest son.

Xie Run had been hiding in Linxuan Pavilion for a long time, but he couldn't avoid the banquet this time.

She changed into a light pink dress early in the morning, casually combed her hair into a single bun, wrapped it with a circle of pearls, and pinned it with two gold and silver hairpins. She was dressed very simply.

Even so, Xie Run's face, which was beautiful and charming, was still particularly outstanding.

She even deliberately made herself look a little worse to make sure no one would notice before she reluctantly went out.

When I went out, I saw colorful lanterns hanging everywhere in the yard, which looked very beautiful.

Xie Run said: "Maybe I'm overthinking it. Let's just eat and drink well today, and relax a little."

Dantao and Yuli nodded.

Dan Tao: "That's right. Master, don't be too tense, or you'll get tired."

Yuli said, "These lanterns are really beautiful. I heard they even invited singers today. I'm sure you'll be able to enjoy them."

Xie Run smiled and saw that the lights were on not far away and it was very lively. There were three round tables set up and many people serving them.

Concubine Ning was wearing an orange long dress embroidered with peonies and sitting in the first seat with a smile on her face.

She wore a complete set of Butterfly Love Flower ruby headpiece and two gold and jade bracelets on her wrists, exuding nobility without a trace of decadence.

He doesn't look like someone who lost his son a few months ago.

Xie Run took a seat quietly, and the person sitting next to him happened to be Concubine An.

Fang Yuan'er has been very popular recently and was arranged to sit below Concubine Ning.

After a while, the singing troupe arrived and the show started with great enthusiasm.

Concubine An smiled gently and said, "Sister Xie has been staying in Linxuan Pavilion since she entered the mansion. This is the first time I've seen her."

Xie Run lowered his head and smiled shyly, "I'm lazy and don't like going out much."

Concubine An smiled and said, "Me too. I'm afraid of getting into trouble if I go out. It's better for me to stay alone in the yard."

Xie Run smiled and didn't reply.

As the dishes were served one by one, Xie Run glanced at a bowl of iced sour plum soup in front of him and quietly moved it aside.

Just as he was about to ask Yuli to fill a bowl of soup, he saw Concubine An looking at him.

Xie Run was stunned and said with a smile: "Why is Sister An looking at me like that?"

"Sister Xie, don't you like sour plum soup?" Concubine An looked at Xie Run's sour plum soup eagerly. "This sour plum soup tastes very good. I heard that it is a secret recipe that Sister Fang found specially. No matter what others make, it is not as good as this."

Xie Run: "I don't like iced drinks, so I'm going to let it cool down before drinking. Does Sister An like it?"

Since Xie Run had said so, Concubine An naturally wouldn't be so shameless as to ask again.

There were quite a few desserts on the table, but each person was only given one plate of each.

Xie Run pays attention to taking care of his body and is not planning to drink iced sour plum soup.

It can be seen that when Concubine An was looking at her bowl eagerly, she couldn't give it up, so she had to say this.

Giving her sour plum soup is no big deal, but if Concubine An gets into trouble after eating it, Xie Run cannot take the responsibility.

The music on the stage was playing lively when suddenly crying sounds were heard from the audience.
