The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Seeing Xie Run was furious, Dan Tao softly comforted him, "It's not the first time Your Majesty has known that Concubine Wen is a confused and soft-hearted person."

"No matter how extreme the Xia Dynasty is, they are still her blood relatives. If the Xia Dynasty falls, she will also be deeply affected, so it is inevitable that she will care a little more."

Dan Tao said this just to comfort Xie Run, because she was afraid that Xie Run would be angry with her.

She felt uncomfortable as she spoke.

Confused and soft-hearted?

After hearing this, Xie Run almost laughed out of anger.

"It's not the first day I've met Concubine Wen."

"Although she is timid and afraid of things, she has a lot of plans in her mind."

"She came to Showa Palace today. It seems that she is worried about the suffering of her motherland, but in fact she is afraid that the fall of the Xia Dynasty will affect her position."

"She has no ability, no family background, and is not favored. The only reason she can sit on the throne of a concubine is because of the Queen's remaining affection and her status as a princess of the Xia Dynasty."

"If the Xia Dynasty falls, she's afraid she'll become a princess of a fallen nation. It wouldn't be good enough for her, but I'm afraid it might even make her a criminal."

"She is just afraid and doesn't believe that the Emperor will let her sit on the throne of concubine for life just because of her relationship with the Empress."

Xie Run's eyes sank slightly, unable to hide his disgust.

"Weakness and cowardice...are merely a disguise for selfishness and greed."

Concubine Wen had experienced the ups and downs of the Xia Dynasty harem, and she believed deep down that in the end, all the so-called affection was left with only interests.

She thought the emperor would do this, but she didn't know that she was just reflecting herself in the mirror.

In the past, Xie Run still had some regard for Concubine Wen because of the Empress, but today's experience was really disgusting.

In comparison, Hua Yu's stupidity and Xian Xiuyi's caution seem to be tolerable.

When Concubine Jingshu heard the news, she sneered.

"The Queen thought of her until her death. She is truly heartless. Now she is thinking of the Xia Dynasty."

"It seems that he was pretending to be too good before, and now that he is involved, his true colors are exposed."

Tao Yao snorted softly, "I've already said it. Anyone who can make it in the Xia Dynasty's harem can't be a pure and harmless person."

"She plays innocent and weak every day just to get others to fight for her."

"I have seen people like this a lot in our backyard."

Concubine Jing Shu was originally reading a booklet, circling with a pen in her hand.

Hearing Tao Yao's words, he paused suddenly, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

"The Queen was quite lenient towards us back then. I have to find a way to repay her for her kindness."

Tao Yao's eyes lit up, "What is your Majesty going to do?!"

After Concubine Wen caused this incident, all the palaces despised her.

If you step on her at this time, others will only praise them.

Concubine Jingshu: "Send the news to the emperor and tell him that Concubine Wen was worried about Xia Chao, but was reprimanded by Concubine Zhao."

"Noble Consort Zhao is too arrogant and domineering..."

It was said that Concubine Zhao was arrogant and domineering, but Concubine Jingshu had a smile on her face without any concealment, and even looked like she was enjoying the show.

Tao Yao paused, "If the Emperor punishes Concubine Wen, she will blame the Empress Shang and Concubine Zhao."

Concubine Jingshu glanced at her.

Tao Yao continued, "Concubine Wen is fine. But Concubine Zhao... is not to be messed with."

Concubine Jing Shu put down the pen in her hand and said lazily, "I just thought I'd provoke her because she's not easy to mess with."

"Life in the palace is too boring. I have to find some fun on my own."

Tao Yao said softly, "It's not too boring."

The master and servant were in perfect sync, and Concubine Jing Shu suddenly burst out laughing, "It's really not that boring. Didn't Showa Palace have three fun things this morning?!"

As soon as Concubine Jingshu's words were delivered, they angered the emperor.

The emperor also had clear likes and dislikes.

Feeling disgusted, he directly issued an imperial decree to demote Concubine Wen to Concubine Wen.

This imperial edict made Concubine Wen dizzy.

When Xie Run heard the contents of the imperial edict, he clapped his hands, "What a scoundrel Consort Jing Shu is!"

Concubine Wen tried several times because she was afraid that the emperor would demote her.

Concubine Jingshu was so kind that she helped to convey a message.

The emperor is not stupid, how could he not see what Concubine Wen is worried about?

He made all of Concubine Wen's worries come true.

The two of them vented their anger, and Concubine Wen was probably going to hate Xie Run to death.

Dan Tao was also a little annoyed: "Why did Concubine Jing Shu suddenly get involved?"

"Is she deliberately trying to harm the Empress?!"

"The palace has finally been peaceful for a while. If Concubine Wen harbors hatred, I'm afraid it will be difficult to calm down."

Xie Run smiled and said, "Then let her complain."

"I am a noble concubine, how could I be afraid of a mere concubine like her?!"

Although Xie Run was annoyed by Concubine Jing Shu's actions, he had to say it.

What the emperor and Concubine Jingshu did in unison was truly refreshing.

The anger I felt at Showa Palace this morning has finally been released.

"The person who delivered the message was Concubine Jing Shu, and the one who demoted her was the Emperor."

"If she had that kind of temper, she would hate them all, and I would have nothing to say."

"If you don't have that kind of temper, just stay put as soon as possible."

Dan Tao gently reminded, "It's okay for Concubine Wen. But the Second and Third Princesses... can she still support them?"

Only concubines above the nine highest levels can raise children. This is the palace rule.

When Concubine Wen was demoted to Concubine Wen, she lost the qualification to raise a child.

Even though the second princess had the queen's last words, she had to stay in her palace.

But the third princess has been in foster care so far.

As someone who was demoted by the emperor, she is not worthy of supporting the third princess.

Xie Run rubbed his temples. "Above the Nine Concubines, there are only Xian Xiuyi and Hua Chongyi. Which of them do you think can support the Third Princess?"

Xiao Shu: "Xian Xiuyi and the master became enemies because of raising the Sixth Prince. Now we can't let her raise the Third Princess."

"I don't know what trouble she can cause next."

Dan Tao also whispered: "Hua Chongyi is probably in even worse shape."

"Hua Chongyi is known for being petty."

"She has her own biological Ninth Prince by her side, she's too busy caring for him to care for others."

"The third princess wasn't her own, and she's a girl. Even if she did raise her, she wouldn't necessarily be devoted to her."

In the morning, Xie Run complained that there were too many concubines in the palace and they always caused trouble for her.

At night, she began to complain about the lack of people.

If there were only two good-looking ones, they would probably be vying to raise their children.

Why is she so conflicted?

Concubine Jing Shu is reliable, but the Eighth Prince is still being raised by her, so there is no reason for her to raise three children alone.

I’m afraid Concubine Jingshu will make a fuss by then.

Xie Run didn't dare to mention the matter because he was afraid that she would take the opportunity to abandon him.

At this moment, Xiao Shu beside her whispered, "Your Majesty, what do you think of Concubine Shen?"

Xie Run was stunned and suddenly shocked.

"I forgot!"

This is what is called darkness under the lamp.

Xie Run was worried all day about who would raise the child, and she forgot that she had a concubine named Shen by her side.
