The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Just after finishing the third circle, Xiaoci suddenly came to report, "Master, Miss Qiuxiang from Jinxiu Pavilion is here."

Xie Run was stunned, "Qiuxiang?"

Dan Tao reminded softly, "It's someone close to Concubine Fang. After Qiulan's accident, Miss Qiuxiang has been in charge of Jinxiu Pavilion's affairs."

"Then please come in."

Soon, Qiuxiang followed Dantao in and bowed to Xie Run, "This servant greets Master Xie."

Xie Run hurriedly raised his hand and asked gently, "Hurry up, your master asked you to come to me, but what's the important matter?"

Qiuxiang looked ordinary, but spoke softly, "The princess has added people to the masters of the mansion today. My servant is worried that Master Xie may not have enough money, so she specially asked me to bring some money to Master Xie."

Xie Run was slightly shocked, "How can this be possible..."

Qiuxiang smiled bitterly and said, "The master said this is to thank the master for his kindness in helping her in times of need."

"I wanted to try to cover it up, but the master had been giving away money before, and everyone in the mansion knows the master's character. Thank you, master, you don't have to worry about being criticized. You can rest assured to keep this money. The master has no other intentions."

Xie Run really didn't expect Fang Yuaner to give him money.

A month ago, in order to build good relationships with the women in the backyard, Fang Yuaner gave money everywhere, and 90% of people accepted Fang Yuaner's benefits.

At that time, Xie Run rejected them all.

No reward without merit, she was afraid that she couldn't pay it back and would feel embarrassed to take it.

And at that time, I didn’t actually realize the importance of money.

Now it is just like what Qiuxiang said, Fang Yuaner's reputation of giving away money everywhere has spread, so it doesn't really matter whether she thanks Runyi more or less.

It doesn't really matter whether it's money or not. What matters is that the heroine who traveled through the book gave her money?!

Just give her one!

This is clearly a gesture of goodwill, how can she not be moved?

Xie Run thought for a moment and asked Qiuxiang, "How is your master's health?"

Qiuxiang sighed, "The palace doctor said that the master is still young and just needs to be taken good care of. It won't affect his future."

Xie Run waved to Dan Tao, "Go to the warehouse and pack some nourishing herbs for Qiuxiang to take back."

Qiuxiang was startled and was about to refuse, but Xie Run said, "A relationship lasts only when there's give and take. If you don't take the herbs back, how can I have the nerve to accept things from your master?"

"Besides, Sister Fang's current situation means that even if she has money, it won't be of much use. Why don't I also show some appreciation?"

There are many people in the backyard who change their attitude according to the situation.

Fang Yuaner fell out of favor, and she couldn't buy some precious medicinal herbs even with money.

Qiuxiang bowed with tears in her eyes, "Then this servant will thank the master on my behalf."

Only then did Xie Run nod to Yuli.

Yuli stepped forward and took the thing from Qiuxiang's hand.

After sending Qiuxiang away, Yuli said worriedly, "Master, Concubine Fang is now disliked by the prince. If the prince knew about your friendship with her, I'm afraid he would be furious."

Xie Run: "If the prince wanted to vent his anger, he wouldn't have come to Linxuan Pavilion yesterday."

A few days before Prince Jing came to Linxuan Pavilion, Xie Runcai went to visit Fang Yuaner who had suffered a miscarriage.

It can be seen that King Jing does not care about these things.

"But..." Yu Li wanted to persuade her again.

Xie Run interrupted her, "I know what's going on."

Nothing that happened in Linxuan Pavilion could be hidden from the main courtyard.

Mother Zhang was thinking a lot, "Today, when the prince came out of Linxuan Pavilion and had lunch, he suddenly mentioned that he wanted to add people to each courtyard. I'm afraid he's worried about the one in Linxuan Pavilion."

The princess was having a little day and was very uncomfortable. She just lay lazily and said, "The prince dotes on her, so naturally I feel sorry for him."

"Adding someone else is a small matter." Mother Zhang frowned, "I'm just worried that Xie will become too spoiled by the prince and become too arrogant."

"With so many people in the backyard, the prince must favor one or two. Ning and Yun are both elderly, and the new Fang has fallen out of favor. If it's not Xie, there will be others."

The princess didn't feel anything. "I've been observing with a cold eye. Xie has been very well behaved in the past two months since she entered the palace. She doesn't seem spoiled. As long as she doesn't cross the line, the prince can dote on her however he wants."

Mother Zhang actually wanted to persuade the princess to win over the prince, but she knew her character well, so she had to change the subject.

"At noon, someone saw Fang's maid go to Linxuan Pavilion and heard that she delivered some money. Could it be that Fang knew she had fallen out of favor and was trying to curry favor with Xie to regain her favor?"

The princess clutched her lower abdomen, her face pale with pain. She said nonchalantly, "This isn't the first time Fang has been so extravagant. If the money had been useful, she wouldn't have fallen to this point."

"If she can really rely on currying favor with Xie to regain his favor, I would actually admire her." The princess lowered her eyes slightly and said indifferently, "In this palace, no one can regain the favor of the prince after being abandoned by him."

"That's true." Mother Zhang said, "Concubine Ning was ruthless. She completely ruined Fang Shi with one move and even caused her to have a miscarriage. My master should be wary of her in the future."

"understood……"

At this moment, Mother Liu, who was responsible for arranging the people in each hospital, came back.

When Zhang's mother saw her expression, she knew that she had something to say, and immediately called all the maids around her away.

When only the princess and Mother Zhang were left, Mother Liu spoke up, "Master, Concubine An... seems to be pregnant."

The princess was slightly stunned.

Mother Zhang couldn't wait to ask, "In the past six months, the prince has only been there once, and he got it already?"

Madam Liu: "It's almost certain. The maid who sent her there said that Concubine An vomited several times within an hour, but she showed no intention of seeing a doctor. She also inquired about her period, and it's been delayed for several days."

The princess listened with a calm expression, "Since she didn't say anything, you should just pretend you don't know. Just ask the people in our yard to be careful and not be used as a pawn."

Mother Liu: “Yes.”

After Mother Liu left, Mother Zhang looked at the princess, her eyes full of heartache, and she seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.

In the three years before the princess entered the palace, Prince Jing respected his wife and stayed in the main courtyard most of the time.

Even so, the princess has not been able to get pregnant.

This Concubine An only sees the prince once every six months, and she's already pregnant... There's really no way to tell this story.

King Jing arrived half an hour earlier than usual today.

At this moment, the sun is still hanging high on the top of the mountain, about to set.

When he arrived, Xie Run was watering the honeysuckle and jasmine in the yard.

Jasmine flowers have been blooming recently, and the yard is filled with a faint fragrance, making it more vibrant.

King Jing approached and asked, "Why are you taking action yourself? If you really like flowers and plants, you can have the greenhouse set aside a piece of land to plant various flowers and plants."

Xie Run smiled and said, "I like to do things myself. Seeing these flowers and plants growing by myself gives me a great sense of accomplishment."

King Jing said nothing more.
