The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

When she learned that Xie Jing was transferred to the Ministry of Rites, Concubine Jingshu immediately realized that the emperor intended to promote Concubine Zhao.

This is different from the meaning of Xie Runsheng, the tenth prince, bestowing titles on his parents.

Concubine Jing Shu had something in mind, so she took the opportunity to come to Xie Run today to show her goodwill.

After hearing what her master said, Taoyao didn't dare to ask any more questions. She just kept the words in mind. From then on, when she met people from Showa Palace, she treated them more kindly.

Concubine Jingshu returned to Showa Palace and pondered over it all night.

The next day, he summoned Bai Baolin to his side and asked her to help with some palace affairs.

Commonly known as helping with odd jobs.

Bai Baolin was a little surprised at first, wondering how he had caught the eye of Concubine Jing Shu.

She was also the daughter of a wealthy family, so she naturally knew that managing palace affairs was a very complicated matter.

If you can seize the opportunity, you may be able to cultivate a lot of connections in the palace.

Concubine Jingshu gave her this opportunity. Was she trying to honor her?

But before Bai Fu could be happy for long, she realized Concubine Jing Shu's real purpose.

Bai Fucai supervised the eunuchs in the imperial garden to repair the road surface, and then had to hurried back to the palace to have lunch. Later, she had to guard the spirit of the retired emperor.

When they returned, Caiyue took the opportunity to get a basin of water for Bai Fu to soak her feet, hoping to help her relax.

Seeing the blisters on Bai Fu's feet, his face was immediately filled with distress, "Master, is Concubine Jing Shu deliberately making things difficult for you?"

"Didn't you say that she wanted to promote you and let you help manage the palace affairs?"

"But I see..."

Caiyue didn't dare to say that Concubine Jingshu was using Bai Fu as a handyman. What she was doing now was no different from the eunuch in charge of the palace.

So, how can we cultivate our network?

Bai Fu closed her eyes and said slowly, "I was too stupid. I misunderstood Concubine Jing Shu's intentions."

"What?" Caiyue looked up at her master in confusion.

There was a hint of coldness on Bai Fu's porcelain-white skin. She was too calm, but also lacked any vitality.

She doesn't have the freshness and cuteness of a girl her age at all.

Bai Fu: "I'm afraid Concubine Jing Shu has already teamed up with Concubine Zhao, and is deliberately targeting me under Concubine Zhao's instructions."

Caiyue looked bewildered. "What...what does this have to do with Concubine Zhao? Concubine Zhao just gave birth to the tenth prince and is currently recuperating in the Showa Palace. There's been no news at all."

Bai Fu ignored Cai Yue and continued, "When Concubine Kong was found to be pregnant, Concubine Jing Shu arranged for her to move out of Fanghua Palace. I became suspicious at the time."

"It's just that Concubine Jing Shu and Concubine Zhao Gui have never had much contact, and they even had a feud in the past. I didn't think much of it, and just thought Concubine Jing Shu was afraid of trouble and deliberately arranged this."

"But now, I've only visited Concubine Kong a few times, and Concubine Jing Shu has assigned me some odd jobs to distract me, leaving me no time to visit Concubine Kong. It's clearly targeting me."

"I have no grudges against Concubine Jing Shu, so she has no reason to target me."

Caiyue whispered, "But my master, Concubine Zhao has never associated with the concubines in the six palaces, and she has no grudges against you. Why would she target you?"

Of course it’s because Concubine Zhao may have lived a second life!

Relying on the opportunity of living a second life, he has seized the grace and glory of others, and naturally will not tolerate any threats.

"I'm afraid Concubine Zhao is eager to get rid of me now!"

Bai Fu is now certain that Concubine Zhao, like her, has lived a second life and has taken advantage of her previous life to snatch the favor that should have belonged to her.

Now that he saw her entering the palace, he began to panic, so he deliberately joined forces with Concubine Jing Shu to deal with him.

Caiyue was panicked when she heard this, "Master, if Concubine Zhao wants to deal with you, won't we be in danger?!"

"That's Concubine Zhao!"

Now she is the most noble and favored woman in the harem.

In Caiyue's opinion, for Concubine Zhao to deal with her master would be as easy as crushing an ant.

Bai Fu suddenly opened her eyes and smiled, "It's better if she takes action!"

"I've been looking forward to this for a long time, hoping that she would lose her composure and harm me!"

Bai Fu already knows the cause of her death in her previous life.

Even if she was deceiving herself, she realized that in her previous life, the emperor knew that she had deliberately caused a miscarriage and framed Fang Yuaner for murder, so he could not tolerate her and took her life.

After the panic, Bai Fu had only one thought.

She must never hurt anyone again!

But if she really did nothing, Bai Fu knew that her days would soon come to an end.

But now she realizes that she cannot harm others, but if someone tries to harm her, it is not wrong for her to fight back.

Although Concubine Zhao held a high position, her life could easily be taken.

But she is not afraid.

Danger and opportunity always go hand in hand.

Only with danger can she have opportunities, climb up, and live a good life.

If she had nothing, she would never have a good life in this deep palace.

When Bai Fu thought about Concubine Zhao using these despicable means to deal with her, she suddenly became more confident.

"I thought she was very cunning, but now it seems she just took advantage of the situation and is just good at pretending."

"Now it seems that such a crude method will eventually backfire."

Bai Fu had not come out of the dire straits of the palace, so naturally she was not aware of Xie Run's temperament and methods.

Just seeing that Xie Run used Concubine Jing Shu to embarrass himself, he thought that Xie Run was short-sighted and not good at dealing with people.

This is also a beautiful misunderstanding.

Seeing her master mumbling to herself like a madman, Caiyue didn't dare to say anything.

I just wanted to get a talisman that day to suppress the evil spirits in the harem.

The master was a good person, but his temper became increasingly abnormal after he entered the palace.

After Xie Run finished her confinement, she immediately put on mourning clothes and went to the late emperor's mourning hall to cry in mourning.

The late emperor was the emperor's biological father, and the funeral rules were strict, so Xie Run couldn't be lazy.

I cried for more than ten days in a row, and all the weight I gained during the confinement period was lost.

It makes me less worried.

In fact, Xie Run was still relatively lucky. The other people in the palace knelt in unison for two funerals and all lost a lot of weight.

Those who were weaker, such as Concubine Wen and Concubine Wu, were bedridden.

Lady Duan only appeared two or three times.

I heard that the illness gets worse each time you come out.

Xie Run and Concubine Jing Shu were afraid that these two funerals would cause all the few concubines in the harem to kneel down, so they quickly pleaded with the emperor.

The emperor was actually more worried.

"The late emperor's funeral ceremony has just ended, and those old guys are already urging me to appoint a queen. How unfilial am I?!"

"Some people don't think about serving the previous dynasty, but instead keep an eye on my harem all day, urging me to take concubines and marry a queen as soon as possible. I think I am just too good-tempered!"

As soon as the emperor arrived at Showa Palace, he started cursing himself.

Not to mention the emperor was angry, Xie Run was also angry when he heard it.

She poured a bowl of soup for the emperor and said gently, "These elders have experienced a lot. How could they encourage the emperor to do something against the rules?"

"Didn't these people always value rules the most?"

The emperor sneered, "Regarding the rules?"
