The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Suijin went to the main courtyard.

It happened that Prince Jing had dinner in the princess's courtyard that night.

The princess then mentioned Concubine Wan.

"It was because of her merit that the prince personally brought her into the palace. Now it's been half a month, and the prince hasn't been to Xiuyue Pavilion yet. There's been a lot of discussion in the backyard."

King Jing listened without even frowning.

"understood."

But there was no follow-up.

But the princess and Prince Jing have been married for many years and understand his character best.

She knew that King Jing had agreed, so she didn't say much.

The next day, King Jing finished his court session and had his meal in the front yard.

As the sun was about to set, Eunuch Shi'an asked, "Where will the prince go to rest today?"

King Jing lowered his eyes to think, and within his sight, there happened to be a small and exquisite jade seal.

Eunuch Shi'an glanced at him and said, "Your Highness hasn't been to Linxuan Pavilion for half a month. Do you want to go and take a look?"

King Jing glanced at him and said, "I haven't been to Linxuan Pavilion for half a month, and I haven't seen her send any news. It seems that it doesn't matter to me whether she sees me or not."

King Jing cursed Xie Run in his heart for being heartless.

He accompanied her in acting and protected her, but she didn't appreciate his kindness at all.

In the past half month, apart from the seal he received after returning home, Xie Run has not sent any news at all.

King Jing was inexplicably annoyed.

Originally, he was still looking forward to the show and cooperating with the team, but now he is deliberately leaving Xie Run alone, waiting for Xie Run to come to him on his own initiative.

After hearing this, Shi'an didn't dare to persuade him anymore.

Prince Jing suddenly remembered what the princess said yesterday and said calmly, "Then let's go to Wan's place."

Shi'an put on a smile and said, "Then I will send someone to Xiuyue Pavilion right away."

King Jing said lazily, "Go ahead."

King Jing knew that the princess never talked nonsense and never meddled in other people's affairs.

When the princess mentioned the matter of Wan's concubine, it was Wan who took the initiative to talk to the princess about it.

Wan Linlang was originally considered unruly in King Jing's eyes, and now she had the added impression of being restless.

King Jing was annoyed that Xie Run did not take the initiative and thought she had no conscience.

But now that Concubine Wan has taken the initiative, he is even more disgusted.

He also thought about how Xie Run hadn't been served for a month when he first came into the mansion. Why didn't he go to the princess eagerly to arrange to sleep with her?

With the contrast, the feeling of displeasure becomes even more pronounced.

Along the way, King Jing was thinking about Xie Run, and he himself didn't even realize that something was wrong.

Just as she was about to cross the Moon Viewing Pond and walk up the path to the Embroidered Moon Pavilion, she suddenly saw two little maids holding lanterns walking out from the side.

When he saw King Jing, he hurriedly bowed.

Eunuch Shi'an asked, "Which courtyard are you from?"

Qiu Kui bowed and said, "I am Qiu Kui from Xiachiyuan."

"What are you going for?"

"Concubine Fang is feeling unwell today, so she has sent servants to ask for leave from the princess. I'm afraid she won't be able to pay her respects tomorrow."

King Jing suddenly remembered that tomorrow was the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and the concubines would go to pay their respects to the princess.

This time he didn't suspect that Fang Yuaner was deliberately blocking his way to curry favor.

He asked casually, "What's wrong with your master?"

Qiu Kui's face turned pale when he heard this, thinking that King Jing was dissatisfied with Concubine Fang's repeated miscarriages, and quickly said, "She just vomited suddenly."

Eunuch Shi'an also said, "It's said that women only vomit during the first three months of pregnancy, and it's fine after three months. Isn't Master Fang's pregnancy stable now?"

"That's right." Qiu Kui's face was full of worry. "My mistress didn't vomit for the first three months, but now that the fetus is firmly seated, she has started vomiting. We servants dare not be careless."

King Jing lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, "I'll go take a look."

After all, Fang Yuaner was pregnant with his child.

As for Wan Linlang, she is just a concubine. Whether she goes or not is entirely up to King Jing.

Once you leave, you will naturally never come back.

Xiuyue Pavilion received the news that King Jing would come tonight and prepared everything early.

Wan Linlang also spent a lot of money to bribe the people in the kitchen and prepared a table full of delicious dishes.

As a result, she waited and waited, until it was dark and the food was cold, but there was no sign of King Jing.

Seeing her gloomy face, maids like Suijin did not dare to go forward and offend her.

After a long while, Wan Linlang finally said, "Suijin, go and ask why the prince hasn't arrived yet. Did he encounter any trouble on the way?"

Suijin responded, "I'll go right away."

After a while, Suijin came back and said through gritted teeth, "The prince went to Xiachi Courtyard. It seems that he is not planning to come to Xiuyue Pavilion."

Wan Linlang stood up suddenly, threw a cup of tea on the table, and cursed: "Bitch!"

It must be Fang Yuaner who was a coquettish woman and deliberately seduced the prince away.

In her previous life, Fang Yuan'er loved to use such means, but the prince respected the concubine and rarely embarrassed her.

This was the first time in her life that she had served a man in bed, yet she encountered such humiliation.

Suijin shuddered at her scolding and couldn't help but say, "Don't worry about it! If these words get to Concubine Fang's ears, the lives of everyone in Xiuyue Pavilion won't be enough to pay for it."

She not only brought disaster upon herself but also implicated them. How could she be so unlucky to follow such a master?

Wan Linlang's face turned pale and she shouted angrily, "Get out!"

Now even a maid dares to act so rudely in front of her!

Suijin snorted lightly and turned around and left.

Wan Linlang clenched her fists and almost overturned the food on the table.

The reason she didn't reveal it was that this meal cost her half a month's monthly allowance.

After a while, Wan Linlang suppressed the anger in her chest and sat down calmly to eat.

The food was cold and greasy.

But it was better than what Wan Linlang had eaten in the past half month since she came into the mansion.

She had just arrived and there was no small kitchen in the attic, so she couldn't even heat up the food.

Wan Linlang just ate the food numbly, hatred piling up in her heart, and she had already thought of countless ways to kill Fang Yuaner.

Fang Yuaner's move of intercepting the crime was much more clever than how she dealt with Concubine An. Even the princess couldn't find any fault with her.

The next day, she deliberately found someone to spread what happened last night.

Wan Linlang became a big joke in the backyard of Prince Jing's mansion.

It’s fine if you say you don’t have the chance to serve the prince.

After waiting for such a long time, I finally got an opportunity, but it was snatched away by someone else.

It can be seen that Concubine Wan has no weight at all in the eyes of the prince.

Fang Yuaner succeeded in intercepting the opportunity, but before she could even rejoice, she suddenly started to vomit.

She asked Qiu Kui to take a leave last night, and it was not a made-up excuse, but she was really not feeling well.

Otherwise, if King Jing went over and saw that she didn't vomit, wouldn't he know that she was lying?

The excuse of feeling uncomfortable can be used once, but not a second or third time.

It's just like the story of the boy who cried wolf.

When Fang Yuaner started vomiting, she felt dizzy and as if she wanted to vomit out everything she had not vomited out in the previous three months.

After Fang Yuaner vomited, the eldest son of the mansion also suddenly vomited.

It's definitely not morning sickness.

The eldest son's wet nurse came to report to the princess early in the morning, saying that he caught a cold last night and vomited violently.

The princess quickly sent someone to notify King Jing and called the imperial physician.

The palace became busy in an orderly manner.

The door of Linxuan Pavilion was closed as usual, and it was unusually quiet.

Xie Run didn't really forget King Jing, but she had been feeling sleepy recently.

I feel like I’m not getting enough sleep even if I sleep seven or eight hours a day.

The imperial physician checked Ping'an's pulse and said it was normal, so she should just let nature take its course.
