The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

The emperor smiled and threw the jade pendant on the desk.

The jade pendant rolled a few times on the table and hit the edge of the folding paper.

Thanks to the pile of documents, he didn't fall off the desk.

He said casually, "You are not jealous, but you may not be jealous."

"Otherwise, I'm just holding a jade pendant, why are you losing face?"

Xie Run: “!!!”

"When did I lose face?!"

The emperor coaxed her patiently: "Forget it, forget it, I was wrong."

"Sui Sui's smile is so sweet, of course I'm not jealous."

Xie Run muttered, "...Why does the emperor say this like a pervert?"

He smiled and said, "If you don't like this jade pendant, I'll have it thrown away."

Xie Run raised an eyebrow, "Your Majesty is willing to do this?"

This is the token of love between him and his childhood sweetheart.

It's such a pity that it was lost like this.

The emperor was puzzled and asked, "Why are you reluctant?!"

Xie Run: "...Bai Cainu asked someone to deliver this jade pendant to the emperor. It must have some origin."

The emperor looked at Xie Run with a smile, as if to say, "I know you are just jealous."

Xie Run wanted to be the one to watch the show, so he could only take the blame silently.

The emperor paused before saying, "I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I still can't remember why she gave me this jade pendant."

Fortunately, Xie Run didn't stare at the emperor's face, otherwise she would not be able to hold it in.

The love token that was famous in the six palaces in the previous life, but the emperor couldn't recognize it in this life?

In a flash, Xie Run actually figured it out.

The emperor lived for several decades, and I'm afraid he had given away countless things that he would remember.

Either they are extremely valuable or they are associated with special feelings.

Obviously, the jade pendant in Bai Fu's hand has neither of these.

In the previous life, the emperor doted on Bai Fu.

Bai Fu held the jade pendant and said that it was a token of their love. Could the emperor still deny it?

There was no loss for him in acquiescing to it, but it would give him an extra good story to tell and he could also have some fun with it.

In this life, Bai Fu was of low rank and out of favor. When the emperor saw the jade pendant, he probably wouldn't even bother to look at it twice.

The jade pendant is still this jade pendant.

If the emperor recognizes it, this will be a token of their childhood sweethearts.

If the emperor doesn't recognize it, it will just be an ordinary piece of jade.

Xie Run: "Your Majesty doesn't even know Bai Cainu's intentions, so why is he still holding this jade pendant and even bringing it to me?"

The emperor pinched Xie Run's nose and said, "You are such a heartless little thing."

"I kept this jade pendant only to tell you that the Bai family is restless."

"She plotted against you before, and now she's trying every possible way to get this jade pendant to the imperial study."

"I guess this jade pendant was given by me. She wants to use it to win love and use me to challenge you."

"I'm letting you see this jade pendant today just to tell you something."

"After I leave the palace, if this Bai Shi does anything unruly again, you can deal with her directly."

Xie Run never expected that the emperor would say such a thing.

She thought for a moment before saying, "No matter how many thoughts she has, as long as she doesn't intend to harm others and doesn't violate palace rules, I won't deliberately punish her."

"But if she is restless and wants to commit suicide, I, having heard the emperor's words, will not show mercy."

The emperor pulled Xie Run into his arms and said, "I like your clear distinction between gratitude and resentment."

In March, Kyoto is bustling with activity.

Everyone knew that the emperor was going to lead the army in person. From the initial anxiety to the current unity, everyone was looking forward to the emperor recovering the Xia Dynasty and returning victoriously.

Xie Run started sewing a cloak with his own hands in the winter.

After working hard, the project was finally completed the day before the emperor went to war.

She specially enshrined a piece of extremely hard jade in Baohua Temple and sewed it on the chest of her cloak.

I just hope that I can save the emperor's life at the critical moment just like in the storybook.

The emperor touched the jade plate on the chest of his cloak and listened to what Xie Run said, and he couldn't stop smiling.

Looking at Xie Run, his eyes were gentle and doting.

In a trance, the look in his eyes was similar to the one Xie Run gave Taotao.

"Of course I know what you mean."

This was the emperor's last words before coaxing Xie Run to sleep.

In front of Liuzheng Palace, Xie Run, dressed in gorgeous clothes, held Taotao's hand and bid farewell to the emperor together with the concubines.

Such a scene was too serious and solemn. Xie Run just looked at the emperor with tears in his eyes and didn't say much.

The emperor was wearing armor, his eyes and eyebrows full of majesty and sharpness.

After he greeted the people in the harem, it was time to set off.

Unexpectedly, his eyes fell on Xie Run's face, and he suddenly raised his hand and hugged Xie Run.

Xie Run was flattered, "Your Majesty..."

This is probably not in accordance with etiquette.

But Xie Run rarely does anything to spoil the fun.

The emperor has already hugged him, so what’s the point of her asking whether it’s in accordance with etiquette?

The emperor patted her on the back and said in a deep voice, "Take good care of yourself in the capital. When I return after unifying the country, I will make you empress!"

Xie Run stood there in a daze, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

After the huge shock, the emperor had already mounted his horse and his figure gradually walked away.

Banners fluttered on both sides, and the sound of hunting wind filled my ears.

The sound of the horn penetrated the sky, and a heroic spirit seemed to be sweeping through the clouds.

Xie Run had never seen such a grand and magnificent scene in his life.

She only secretly hoped in her heart that the scene would be like this when the emperor returned.

Whether it was for the promised position of queen, or for Taotao and Baozhen.

Xie Rundu was looking forward to the emperor's triumphant return.

Three years later--

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Baozhen is running around Showa Palace.

The year the emperor left the palace, Taotao moved into the prince's residence.

After three years as a prince, he was taught by many respected senior officials in the court and had become much more mature.

The Prince's Residence is on holiday today, so Taotao returned to Showa Palace.

Concubine Shen brought the third princess over early in the morning and let the three siblings play together.

After a while, a palace servant came to report, "Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince is here."

Two years ago, as soon as the Sixth Prince turned five, he couldn't wait to move to the Prince's Residence and live with the Fifth Prince.

Xian Xiuyi originally refused.

But the Sixth Prince made a big fuss and ran directly to Xie Run and Concubine Jing Shu to cry.

Xie Run and Concubine Jing Shu let the Sixth Prince live in the Prince's Residence in accordance with the palace rules.

Although Xian Xiuyi was dissatisfied, she no longer had the same anger as before and could only be angry at herself in secret.

Every time I wake up in the middle of the night, I always dream that all my hard work ends up being a waste of money for someone else.

Xie Run knew that she was narrow-minded and was always worried that she would get sick from anger.

After the Sixth Prince moved into the Prince's Residence, he ate and played with Taotao every day, and the relationship between the two brothers became better and better.

Now Meng is inseparable from Jiao, and Jiao is inseparable from Meng.

So before Taotao could even sit down after returning home, the Sixth Prince came to visit.
