The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Until he closed his eyes from exhaustion, Xie Run was still thinking about one thing.

How could she have deserved to make this ancestor wait for her for several months?

But think about it another way, if this guy really misses her for a few months, then she won't fall out of favor in a short time.

It seems pretty good.

The next day, when Xie Run got up, King Jing had already gone to court.

Dan Tao helped her change clothes and mentioned during the casual chat, "Master, it snowed heavily again this morning."

"When the prince left, he stared at the snow for a long time and seemed quite unhappy."

Xie Run also looked out the window and saw a vast expanse of white snow.

"If this snow continues to fall, it will become a disaster. The prince is in the Ministry of Revenue, so I'm afraid he will be worried."

Dan Tao didn't understand any of this, but she also frowned and worried.

Xie Run then instructed, "Prepare some gifts later and go visit Concubine An and Concubine Li."

Both of them had miscarriages yesterday.

"Oh, and there are Wan Concubine."

This person just had a miscarriage.

Wan Linlang had a bad start in her life and had a low sense of presence, so Xie Run sometimes ignored her.

She became pregnant while everyone ignored her, and had a miscarriage while everyone ignored her.

Sometimes when Xie Run compared things in his past and present lives, he would always have some doubts and always felt that Wan Linlang was hiding some secrets.

But after thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Xie Run shook his head. "We managed to survive the dangerous situation on the Zhishui Boat, but after leaving the party, things kept going wrong."

Dan Tao: "Concubine Li was also plotted against. There was no way to avoid it."

"Concubine An is timid to begin with. It was already a great achievement for her to survive the banquet. Who would have thought that after returning to the courtyard, she would be involved in the kite-cutting incident? I'm afraid she must have been quite frightened."

Xie Run thought for a moment and said, "That's too naive."

This is not because I dislike Concubine An, but I just want to make sure that I never raise my children like this in the future.

After breakfast, Xie Run was supported by his maid and walked in the corridor.

Because of the strong wind and snow, the maids were afraid that the cold wind would blow on Xie Run, so they found a dozen mats from somewhere and hung them on the side of the corridor, half-enclosing the corridor.

Light two more charcoal pots and the corridor will be a little warmer.

However, after walking back and forth a few times, Xie Run actually felt a little sweaty.

She touched her belly and said with regret: "It's a pity that I got pregnant this year."

"Or else, we could hang a curtain around the pavilion halfway up the mountain, and brew wine, tea, and enjoy the snow inside. That would be a unique sight."

Dan Tao smiled and said, "Master, don't worry. If you can't enjoy the snow this year because of the little master, you can still enjoy it next year."

"Anyway, we'll always be living here, so there will be plenty of days to enjoy the snow and brew tea, and we'll have the young master to accompany us in the future."

Xie Run smiled and said nothing.

She thought that she might not be able to get the reward next year.

This year's snowstorm caused the Empress Chen to be deposed, and the competition for the position of Crown Prince among several princes entered a white-hot stage.

The position of crown prince will be decided before next winter.

She was afraid that she would never have the chance to appreciate the snow scene in Chunshan Courtyard.

However, Xie Run kept these words in his heart and did not dare to express them at all.

As they were talking and laughing, Luzhi came from a distance holding an umbrella.

She saluted Xie Run and said, "Master, I just saw Concubine Lu leading people out of Qingfeng Pavilion."

Xie Run asked curiously, "She fell into the water yesterday and was exposed to the cold. Now is the time to take good care of her, so why did she go out?"

Xie Run went to see Concubine Lu who fell into the water yesterday.

A purple face was huddled in the quilt, shivering and trembling with the sound of teeth knocking against each other, which made people feel distressed and pity when they saw it.

According to Xie Run, it will take at least this winter to recover before things can return to normal.

"She doesn't want to go out at this time?"

After thinking for a while, Xie Run asked again, "Where did you go?"

Luzhi's eyes sparkled, revealing a desire for gossip. "It seems she went to Concubine An's residence."

Xie Run raised an eyebrow, "This is terrible. I'm afraid there will be a big commotion!"

Dan Tao was puzzled. "Concubine An is pregnant now. She just had a miscarriage yesterday. How dare Concubine Lu make trouble with her?"

Xie Run jokingly said, "If she dares to steal charcoal, what else is there that she wouldn't dare to do?"

Stealing charcoal is not difficult, but the difficult part is being able to completely abandon one's face and ignore moral shame.

It would be fine if Concubine Lu had a bottom line, but if she has no bottom line, I wonder how many things she could do that would make people speechless.

Xie Run thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid it's because of that maid named Juzi from yesterday."

Dan Tao asked curiously, "Are Concubine Lu and Juzi really that close?"

"He was willing to take the ten strokes of the cane for Juzi, but now that he heard that Juzi was dead, he rushed to provoke Concubine An without caring about anything..."

Xie Run: "Go and have a little maid tell the princess about this. Don't make Concubine An's pregnancy unstable."

Dan Tao nodded repeatedly: "The actions of Qingfeng Court and Qingzhu Court cannot escape our sight. If the matter gets out of hand and the prince really investigates, he will probably be dissatisfied with the master for not reporting it."

Chunshanyuan's geographical location is really very advantageous.

Any movement in the yards on both sides can be seen from here at any time.

Since Xie Run didn't say anything, Dan Tao thought she had spoken to her master's heart and immediately went to arrange people.

After returning to the room, Xie Run drank a cup of water soaked in rose water to moisten his mouth.

I'm thinking about something in my mind.

Concubine An is now seven and a half months pregnant. If something goes wrong, she might give birth prematurely.

If this is the case, Fang Yuaner's expensive prescription for inducing labor will be useless.

Fang Yuaner is only six and a half months pregnant now, and she has to wait until the seventh month to induce labor so that the baby can survive.

From whose womb should the second prince be born?

Xie Run weighed the pros and cons and chose Fang Yuaner.

A weak premature baby would find it difficult to grow up steadily even if he became the second prince.

So she had to protect Concubine An's baby and at least make the pregnancy last a little longer.

She finally had her own selfish desires.

"Can the people in this backyard really stay out of it and not get involved at all?"

Xie Run sighed and suddenly felt that the rose honey in his mouth had lost its taste.

"Forget it. Just treat it as a good deed, just like the last time I reminded Concubine Li."

After all, when Fang Yuaner gives birth depends entirely on herself.

If Concubine An's fetus is protected and allowed to last longer, Fang Yuaner's baby will also be able to stay pregnant longer.

After what happened at the birthday party, Xie Run finally realized that he couldn't just sit there and wait for death.

Sometimes, she also needs to take the initiative.

Suddenly, Xie Run laughed.

Hong Xi, who came in to serve, was a little curious, "Master, what are you laughing at?"

Xie Run said calmly, "I just suddenly understood why the women in the backyard always like to chant sutras and recite Buddhist scriptures."

"Why?" Hongxi was a little confused.

"Maybe it's because I have desire in my heart, but I also feel guilty."

Xie Run sighed, "Maybe one day, I will also kneel before the Buddha statue and chant sutras all day long."

Hong Xi smiled and said, "I'm afraid that day will have to wait until our little grandson grows up and the master becomes the imperial concubine."

"Master, I'm afraid there will be some waiting."

Xie Run was influenced by her pure smile and laughed as well, "It seems to be true."

Now that I have children, where is the time to be sad?

Even in the current palace, there is no room for a peaceful Buddhist temple.

Besides, she doesn't believe in Buddhism.

Xie Run thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid there will be a snowstorm this year. Find some time to clean up some of my unwanted jewelry and clothes and quietly exchange them for silver."

“As long as I can, I should also accumulate more virtue.”

Although Xie Run did not believe in Buddhism, she could be reborn in Xie Run's body after her death.

She should be grateful.
