The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Who knew that Fang Yuan'er came to Linxuan Pavilion in the morning, and the news that she wanted to use soap to regain favor spread throughout the backyard of Prince Jing's Mansion in the afternoon.

Xie Run felt his scalp tingle, and he quickly called Dan Tao and Yu Li over to ask.

"Since Sister Fang left, have the people in our courtyard interacted with anyone outside?"

Yuli answered swiftly, "At noon, the new arrival Yueyaer and I went to pick up the meal. On the way, we met Luoshuang in Concubine An's courtyard. We chatted for a few minutes, but didn't say much."

Dan Tao reminded her, "The master said he wanted to change the bedding and window screens today. Xiao Shu, Xiao Ci, and Ma Po have been busy in the yard this afternoon."

Xie Run nodded. "Since it didn't happen in our yard, then someone on Sister Fang's side must have let the cat out of the bag."

Xie Run said to Dan Tao, "Go to Jinxiu Pavilion and tell Sister Fang that the news has leaked. Tell her to be cautious and not let anyone harm her."

Dan Tao asked, "Master, do you want to remind Master Fang that something happened in her yard?"

"No need. Just say we didn't find any problems in our yard."

You said it so clearly, what should you do if you get slapped in the face?

"Yes."

After Dan Tao left, Yu Li whispered, "If the master had listened to me and stayed away from Concubine Fang, this wouldn't have happened."

"As soon as Concubine Fang left, the news spread throughout the backyard. I'm afraid she will suspect that we leaked the news. The master will be really wronged then."

Xie Run frowned slightly and said calmly, "You go down first."

Yuli was stunned, but still saluted obediently: "Yes, Master."

Leaning on the pillow, Xie Run was thinking about Yuli's words.

Xie Run knew that Yuli was too carefree.

Yuli is an impulsive person.

It was only because Xie Run had just entered the mansion and the situation was unclear that she was able to suppress her restlessness and be more cautious and prudent.

Now that Xie Run is favored by King Jing, she also becomes proud and gradually looks down on Fang Yuan'er who has fallen out of favor.

With this kind of temper, he will probably get into trouble sooner or later.

Qiulan, who was with Fang Yuaner, was a lesson for Xie Run, and he didn't want to see another Qiulan.

She slowly lowered her eyes, thinking about how to arrange for Yuli.

Soon, Dan Tao came back with the news.

Dan Tao: "Master, Master Fang said she knows what's going on and asked you not to worry too much."

Xie Run nodded slightly, "In that case, I won't care."

Dan Tao smiled and reminded: "Master, a month has passed, and your purse is still not embroidered."

Xie Run couldn't help but frown, and helplessly stretched out his hands and said, "Look at my hands, there are so many holes in them... The prince really has no pity for people."

Dan Tao disagreed, "It's because the prince loves the master that he asked her to embroider the purse. Even if other concubines wanted to embroider purses for the prince, they wouldn't have the chance."

Xie Run sighed and obediently picked up the embroidery frame, "Okay."

After all, the boss takes care of her food, clothing, housing and transportation, so she should really work more actively.

When the news about the soap spread to the backyard, the princess didn't take it seriously, but Concubine Ning smelled something different.

Restore favor with soap recipe?

She asked Zhang's mother to find out, "Can this soap really make a shop earn hundreds of dollars a month?"

Zhang's mother also came from a poor family and didn't believe this at all. "Master, for ordinary people doing business, it's already a great achievement to be able to earn a hundred taels of silver a month. A hundred taels of gold a month, and that's just a small soap...Master, don't be fooled. Look, there's no movement in the main courtyard."

Concubine Ning laughed self-deprecatingly: "The main court never cares about the prince's favor, so naturally there will be no movement."

Mother Zhang said distressedly: "Master, you want to..."

Concubine Ning's eyes lit up, "Mother Zhang, find a way to get the recipe for that soap."

Mother Zhang frowned: "What use does the master have for this recipe?"

Mother Zhang has stayed in Prince Jing's mansion for so many years, but she doesn't believe that Prince Jing would favor someone just because of a prescription.

Just as she was about to offer some advice, Concubine Ning mocked her, saying, "Only a woman like Fang, who comes from a merchant family, would think the prince is so superficial. Even if she contributed hundreds of secret recipes, the prince would still not favor her. Why don't I use this recipe instead..."

"What do you mean?"

Concubine Ning's smile faded. "No one in the world doesn't want money. If I can really make money... I should also make plans for Jue'er's future. Let's do it first. If Fang really lets the prince use this recipe to open a shop, then it will be interesting."

There was also a smile in Zhang's mother's eyes.

Jinxiu Pavilion——

Fang Yuan'er was half lying on the chaise longue, with a little maid fanning her beside her. A cool breeze blew in from the ice jar at the door.

Qiuxiang brought a plate of cakes and said to the little maid, "You go down first."

The little maid put down her fan and said, "Yes."

After the others left, Qiuxiang said, "Master, I have already found a way to send the soap recipe to Lanxiang Pavilion."

Fang Yuaner slowly opened her eyes, and a hint of cruelty flashed in her narrow and bright eyes.

"You did very well."

"Now that the recipe has been delivered, I don't believe Ning Yanyan won't be tempted. If she dares to take a hand, I can make her pay for what she did!"

It’s not so easy to get Fang Yuaner’s things.

When Princess Ruyi was poisoned, Fang Yuaner failed to react in time during the banquet and was nearly killed by Concubine Ning.

Fang Yuaner will never forget this grudge in her life.

During this month of recuperation, Fang Yuaner was never idle.

She was not stupid and knew that a soap recipe would never make King Jing favor her again.

The reason for taking out this recipe was, firstly, to test Xie Run and see if she was a time traveler, and secondly, to plot against Concubine Ning.
