The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

King Jing was indeed very surprised to hear that Xie Run was in a bad mood.

He brought his men straight to Chunshanyuan.

"I heard you lost a piece of jade and are you in a bad mood?"

"This king has come specially to take a look."

King Jing walked into the room with a smile on his face, and there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Xie Run sat on the edge of the couch with red eyes, glared at him, and did not get up to greet him. He looked really angry.

The beauty in front of me stared at me with tears in her eyes. She was so cute and charming that it made me feel itchy in my heart.

King Jing stepped forward and even walked around to take a look at her.

He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you really crying?"

Xie Run quietly glanced around the room, making sure his personal maid was not there, and immediately began to act.

"I am just angry!"

She said it very seriously.

With a beautiful and bright face, she doesn't look like she is angry, but rather like she is acting coquettishly.

King Jing said with a smile, "It's just a piece of jade, not a rare thing. If you like it, I will give you a few more pieces another day."

Xie Runshui glared at him with his misty peach blossom eyes, "How can this be the same?!"

King Jing sat down and asked, "Why is it different?"

Xie Run emphasized, "This piece of jade is the first gift the prince gave me. It even has my nickname engraved on it. It's very meaningful!"

King Jing just remembered this and secretly resented Shi'an for not reminding him.

He raised his hand and touched Xie Run's cheek, wiping her tears. "How did you lose the jade?"

Xie Run said aggrievedly: "I don't know."

King Jing: "Did you send someone to look for it?"

"I've searched everywhere I've been."

"Don't worry, it might have fallen into the snow. Maybe we'll be able to see it once the snow melts."

Xie Run felt even more aggrieved and leaned against Prince Jing's arms, "This is a gift that the prince gave to me personally!"

King Jing smiled and comforted her: "While the jade pendant is important, your body is equally precious. It's not worth it to hurt yourself because of a jade pendant."

Xie Run lay in his arms, wiped his tears with King Jing's clothes, and stopped talking.

King Jing laughed and said, "Isn't it just a jade pendant? I'll ask Shi'an to open the warehouse and pick out ten or eight pieces of jade for you. You can engrave whatever words you want on them."

Thinking of the seal Xie Run had given him, King Jing added, "Carve another seal and write your nickname on it."

Xie Run snorted softly, "I want the best!"

"It's up to you to choose, okay?" King Jing was always generous to the women he loved.

Xie Run pressed on: "I want the prince to carve one for me personally!"

This really makes me feel like I'm being spoiled.

King Jing liked this idea very much and responded cheerfully, "Okay, okay!"

Xie Run couldn't help but hugged Prince Jing and kissed him, "Prince, you are so kind!"

King Jing deliberately made things difficult for others, "Giving the jade is good, and not giving it is bad?"

"Of course!" Xie Run said proudly. "They say marrying a man provides food and clothing. I've married a good man. I don't have to worry about food and clothing, and I have countless good things."

"Then the prince is the best man in the world!"

King Jing was amused by her words, "I didn't know you were so good at talking. I underestimated you before."

Xie Run said proudly: "I didn't have anyone to rely on before, nor did I have so much favor, so naturally I wasn't as brave as I am now."

"Today, I was in a bad mood, and Your Highness came to comfort me."

Xie Run raised his eyes, his moist eyes filled with tenderness, his voice even more charming and alluring, "It means that the prince has me in his heart."

"I am very happy!"

King Jing was so flattered by her sweet words that he felt a little elated.

She is beautiful, gentle and cute, knows how to act coquettishly and say sweet words.

Which man wouldn’t be flattered?

Shi'an thought to himself that his prince should be more restrained.

If it floats any further, half of the warehouse will be given to Concubine Xie.

Since he had come to Chunshan Courtyard, King Jing had lunch here and took a nap in Chunshan Courtyard before slowly returning to the front yard.

The people in the backyard couldn't help but feel jealous.

Even the princess couldn't help but sigh, "Others might not be able to get His Majesty to sit over for a while, even after three or four invitations."

"When Concubine Xie lost her temper, the prince went to Chunshan Courtyard eagerly. It can be seen that the prince really cares about her."

The princess was curious about what methods Xie had.

On weekdays, he seems to be a well-behaved, gentle and honest person, without many personal characteristics.

Concubine An has a similar personality and is not bad looking either.

But she had never been favored, so everyone thought that King Jing didn't like this kind of person.

Now it seems that maybe there is a difference in people, or maybe the prince has changed his taste?

"Xie Shufei is still very resourceful," said Mother Li unhappily. "I thought she was content, but after a few days of favor, she became so arrogant."

"She never had a bad temper before, but now she's making a scene over a jade pendant, making everyone in the courtyard know about it. I'm afraid she's just trying to seduce the prince."

The princess said calmly, "Even if I have all sorts of tricks, I still need His Majesty's cooperation."

"One is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten, why blame her?"

Mother Li didn't understand her princess's thoughts: "Princess, are you just going to watch?"

The princess asked curiously, "What else?"

“I think it looks pretty good!”

"She hasn't done anything out of the ordinary. Although she's favored by the prince, she always respects me and doesn't have the intention to harm anyone." The princess sighed regretfully, "It would be better if everyone in the backyard was like Concubine Xie."

Mother Li: “…”

Mother Li sighed that the princess was not ambitious enough, and at the same time she looked down upon all the women who tried to seduce King Jing.

The princess used to find her a bit annoying.

But after a long period of boredom, the princess was able to find some fun in her daily bickering with Mother Li.

Mother Li is old and a bit stubborn. Although her words may not agree with the princess's, she only says them with her mouth.

She would never do anything that the princess forbade her to do.

Mother Li is also interesting.

Every time he was criticized by the princess, he would sulk and keep silent, but he would be able to comfort himself after a while.

Then continue next time.

After doing this many times, it became a unique way for the two of them to get along.

As soon as King Jing left, Xiao Shu followed Eunuch Shi'an to the storehouse and selected ten pieces of good jade.

White jade, yellow jade, black jade... are all top-grade items.

After all this trouble, the whole backyard knew that Xie Run had lost the jade pendant, and he used this excuse to take out ten pieces of jade from Prince Jing's mansion.

Even Fang Yuaner, who has always been wealthy, couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

After some trouble, Xie Run finally felt relieved.

Everyone knows that she lost the jade pendant. If the jade pendant appears at an accident scene again in the future, no one can slander her casually.

But it was too early for Xie Run to feel relieved.

At three o'clock in the morning, someone quietly knocked on the corner gate of Chunshan Courtyard and said that there was news to be delivered to Concubine Xie.

The old woman guarding the corner gate immediately went to report.

Xie Run was very surprised to see the person coming.

She looked at him for a moment before asking, "Are you from Concubine Wan's courtyard? How come I've never seen you before?"

After not seeing him for a while, Suijin's face became pale and thin, and he looked sick.

She smiled bitterly, "I became ill after serving Concubine Wan for a few days and haven't left the house for a long time. It's normal that Concubine Xie doesn't recognize me."
