The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Unexpectedly, when this news spread, there were few objections from the ministers of the previous dynasty.

Concubine Jing Shu came to the Showa Palace early in the morning to drink tea: "I am here to congratulate my sister, the Imperial Concubine."

Xie Run glanced at her and asked, "Have you finished dealing with the affairs in the palace today?"

"I heard that the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince have always been on bad terms. If you have time, please talk to them more."

Concubine Jingshu was originally thinking of having a conversation with Xie Run and was getting interested.

After hearing Xie Run's next words, I couldn't help but sigh.

She is such a strong-willed person, but now she finally understands the hardship of raising a child.

"Things in the palace are simple, but Lian'er and Hu'er... I don't know what kind of injustice they suffered in their previous lives, but they are both good-tempered when they are apart, but they just can't stay together."

The seventh prince was named Xiao Lian, and the eighth prince was named Xiao Hu.

"Now I envy you, sister. Cong'er and Baozhen are so different in age, yet they are so friendly and respectful to each other, and never have any conflicts."

Xie Run thought about what he had heard, smiled slightly, and said only one sentence.

"I only understood this after I raised a child."

Concubine Jingshu looked up at her.

Xie Run said calmly: "When children don't get along, it's all because the elders are immoral."

Concubine Jing Shu's eyes were filled with astonishment, but she suppressed it for a moment and said with a wry smile, "I came here to congratulate my sister, but I don't know why you brought up the topic of children again."

"I heard that Doctor Xie saved the Emperor from danger several times on the front lines, and the Emperor has granted her the title of Marquis of Zhaoping. This is the first time a woman in the dynasty has been granted such a title."

"My elder sister and elder brother have also become ministers of the Ministry of Rites. I'm afraid that my elder sister's coronation ceremony will still be personally presided over by Lord Xie."

Xie Run smiled and said, "The emperor's edict hasn't come down yet, so don't talk nonsense."

Concubine Jing Shu couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Sister, you are too cautious."

"Now, besides you, who else in this palace is worthy of the position of empress?"

Xie Run raised his eyebrows: "Sister, your words are becoming more and more presumptuous. How can you say such things casually?!"

Pretend, keep pretending!

Concubine Jing Shu: "It's my sister who made a mistake in speaking."

Xie Run also knew why Concubine Jingshu came to her palace early in the morning.

She chuckled, "I have also accepted my sister's congratulations, so I wanted to say a few more words."

"The Emperor has returned victorious this time and intends to bestow rewards upon you. My sister has diligently managed the harem over the past few years and has also worked very hard to raise the two princes. I believe the Emperor will not forget you."

This means that when the emperor returns, he will sooner or later confer titles on the six palaces.

Even if she has no merit, she has worked hard, and perhaps her position can be improved.

When Concubine Jing Shu heard this, the smile on her face finally became a little more sincere.

She knew that she had no chance of becoming the empress, so she never had the intention to fight with Xie Run.

But people should always have some ambition.

She couldn't become the queen, but that didn't mean she couldn't move up.

There are four concubines of the first rank, and before the Shufei there are the Guifei and the Defei.

If she could get the position of imperial concubine by accumulating seniority, her life would not be in vain.

Seeing that Concubine Jingshu looked satisfied, he prepared to leave.

Xie Run suddenly asked, "Sister, is this the only thing you want to ask for?"

Concubine Jing Shu turned her head to look at Xie Run, with a look of surprise and uncertainty in her eyes.

She smiled and said, "Sister, I don't understand. I hope your sister can remind me?"

Xie Run smiled gently, "Cong'er often praises the Eighth Prince for being filial, sensible, gentle and respectful to me."

"Such a good child, sister, don't you want to ask for something for him?"

"The bond between mother and child is rare, but don't let it create a rift."

To this day, the Eighth Prince is still only fostered under the name of Concubine Jingshu and is not actually registered under her name.

Strictly speaking, Concubine Jingshu is only the mother of the seventh prince.

The Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince often have conflicts, and this might be related to this incident.

Although they are all adopted sons, there are differences between adopted sons.

Concubine Jingshu's emotions were surging. She never expected Xie Run to bring up this matter.

Before the emperor left Beijing, he reluctantly registered the seventh prince under her name.

She was out of favor and had just angered the emperor, so she naturally didn't dare to mention the idea of ​​registering the eighth prince under her name.

Moreover, saying this makes it seem like you are asking for too much.

After all, she herself has no children.

The emperor was already showing mercy by allowing her to raise a child. If she asked for another one, it would inevitably be suspected of competing with Concubine Zhao.

Therefore, although Concubine Jingshu had been supporting the Eighth Prince, she actually did not have the courage or confidence to bring up the matter of naming him.

She only hoped that one day the emperor would soften his heart, consider the two children, and take the initiative to bring up the matter of registering their names.

Unexpectedly, the person who first brought up this matter was Xie Run.

Concubine Jingshu's eyes were complicated as she bowed respectfully towards Xie Run.

"If you are willing to say a few good words for me, I will be grateful and will never dare to offend you again."

This is surrender.

Xie Run raised his hand to help her up, "Before Bai Cainu became seriously ill, she wrote a poem."

Concubine Jing Shu looked at Xie Run quietly, not understanding why she mentioned Bai Cainu.

Xie Run said slowly: "I only see the cold moon and warm sun, which come to fry people's lives."

Xie Run's eyes were gentle, and he spoke calmly, "She felt that life in the palace was unbearable and she had lost the desire to live, so she fell ill."

"We are the only sisters in the palace. We don't know how many years we will have to live. Why bother making things difficult for each other?"

Just give a helping hand and consider it as accumulating blessings for yourself and your children.

Doing good deeds will always make your life more comfortable than thinking about harming others every day.

Xie Run: "Two innocent children should not pay for the grudges of their elders."

There were tears in Concubine Jingshu's eyes at some point, but she suddenly smiled.

"I finally understand why the Emperor and the Empress have been so fond of you all these years."

Xie Run is indeed a very charismatic person.

Her charm does not lie in the impact at first sight.

Instead, it touches people's hearts with gentle words.

Like a long flowing stream, it irrigates the garden bit by bit, filling it with fragrance.

Looking throughout the six palaces, there are very few people with such character.

Even if there were more, the emperor probably wouldn't be in the mood to savor and explore them in detail.

She really should sit in the queen seat.

The news of the queen's enthronement spread throughout the Yu Dynasty, and the emperor then remembered another thing.

The Queen Mother is still praying for the late Queen at Baohua Temple!

The emperor was dissatisfied when the queen was forced to death by the queen mother.

The mother and son fought, and the Queen Mother was defeated and sent to Baohua Temple to pray for blessings for half a year.

The Queen Mother was supposed to return to the palace after half a year.

But who would have thought that the emperor would go on a direct expedition, leaving the empress dowager to stay in Baohua Temple for three more years.

During this period, the empress dowager had asked to return to the palace, but the emperor was far away at the front.

Several old princes of the royal family discussed it several times and felt that the empress dowager should stay in Baohua Temple to pray for the emperor and then pray for the retired emperor, but they refused to agree.

After several struggles, the Empress Dowager endured this in Baohua Temple for almost four years.

……

ps: I discovered something very coincidental.

The seventh prince, Xiao Lian, and the tenth prince, Xiao Baozhen.

Damn, it seems like I ran into Jia Baoyu and Jia Lian. I can’t bear to look at it.

What a coincidence, I absolutely can’t do that!

……

This book will be finished after it is published. I will write a few extra chapters later, but not too many.

Currently tentatively confirmed: Concubine Jing Shu, Fang Yuaner, Concubine Fang, Tao Tao (Xiao Cong)

If there are treasures that you would like to see other people, you can leave a comment and I will add one or two depending on the situation.

There is actually not much to dig into about a character like Wan Linlang. He is just an ambitious, scheming, and vicious person.

There are also naive girls like Hua Yu, whose identity, background and personality determine that she will not be favored, but she will not make big mistakes and her life will not be difficult.

Concubine Fang is included because she is involved with the previous Concubine Yun, and she is written from the perspective of an ordinary little person who rises to a high position and lives out her life there.
