The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Chapter 236 King Jing Stays at Qiufeng Courtyard

Xie Run said calmly, "She was so overwhelmed by Wan Linlang's words that she'd already waited for eight months, and now, with only the last three months left... all her efforts were wasted."

Logically speaking, Hua Yu should observe three years of mourning for his father.

But she was taken into Prince Jing's palace and had become a married woman, so the mourning period could be shortened from three years to one year.

Hua Yu followed Prince Jing into the palace in July and has been in mourning for eight months now, but she lost her composure at the last moment.

"She is serving the prince now, but she is in mourning for her father. I'm afraid her reputation will be bad."

If I had known this would happen, I would have not mentioned the mourning period in the first place.

Now that we are halfway through the defense and suddenly give up, it will really attract criticism.

Xie Run asked curiously, "She did something stupid like this, but no one around her warned her?"

Dan Tao: "Perhaps after hearing what Concubine Wan said that day, not only Concubine Hua became anxious, but the people around her also became anxious?"

"Never mind." Xie Run stood up. "Help me with my makeup. The new concubine is offering tea today. We have to go to Qingsong Courtyard."

"Yes."

Fang Yuaner was under house arrest, and Xie Run arrived at Qingsong Courtyard and sat directly below the princess.

In addition, Concubine Li, Concubine Fang, Concubine Lu, and Wan Linlang were all here.

No one has seen Concubine Hua.

On the first day of serving King Jing, you became arrogant because of the favor you received?

Xie Run took a sip of the tea and suddenly felt that the palace was about to become lively again.

Now, the few who came to pay their respects were all taciturn, and only Concubine Lu could speak.

But she didn't want to chat with Xie Run in the princess's yard, so she fell into a strange silence.

After a while, word was heard that the new concubine Sun had arrived with two other concubines.

Xie Run was so focused on enjoying the show yesterday that he forgot that while the emperor bestowed Concubine Sun, he also gave Prince Jing two beautiful girls.

Concubine Sun was welcomed into the house with a grand ceremony, and the other two were concubines who were bestowed upon her, and were all carried in quietly in sedan chairs.

Hearing the footsteps, Concubine Lu and the others quickly stood up and saluted: "This servant greets Concubine Sun."

Concubine Sun was dignified and smiling, without revealing any trace of emotion. "Sisters, there is no need to be so polite. Please stand up quickly."

The other two concubines also bowed to Xie Run and Li Shufei.

Xie Run said softly, "You two sisters are gentle and quiet, and both look very pretty. I wonder which one is Sister Wu and which one is Sister Ye?"

A woman wearing a goose yellow long skirt, with a pretty face, a heroic look between her eyebrows and eyes, and a slightly dark complexion slowly walked forward.

"Your servant, the concubine Ye, greets Concubine Xie."

Xie Run matched the person with his memory and remembered that this Ye was the granddaughter of the governor of Minzhou.

Another girl with an oval face, a teardrop mole at the corner of her eye, and a natural smile on her lips also stepped forward to greet, "Your servant, the concubine Wu, greets Concubine Xie."

This is the daughter of the county magistrate of Shuimeng County, Yunzhou.

Xie Runwen nodded, "They each have their own merits. Your Highness is so lucky."

When Xie Run said this, he was also very surprised.

One day, these words will actually come out of her mouth.

The two beauties lowered their heads coquettishly, looking shy.

The princess came out after a while, with thick powder on her face, and she looked a little unwell.

Concubine Li couldn't help but ask with concern, "Are you tired, Princess? You look more haggard than the past two days."

Concubine Lu and Concubine Fang also looked over.

I noticed that the princess looked obviously not well.

At this time, no one guessed that she was pregnant.

After all, among the pregnant women in the mansion, except Fang Yuaner who was pregnant at the beginning, no one looked so tired.

Some people suspected that the princess had some serious illness and that was why she had not been feeling well.

The princess waved her hand and said calmly, "It's nothing, I just didn't sleep well last night."

"My sisters have been waiting for a long time. Please pay your respects first."

As soon as the princess finished speaking, maids and servants came forward with tea.

Led by Concubine Sun, three people bowed to the princess at the same time and said some respectful words.

After hearing this, the princess also said auspicious words, gave each person a red envelope, rewarded Concubine Sun with a bracelet, and gave each of the two concubines a pair of jade hairpins.

In such cases, Xie Run and others would just check in, recognize the person's face and leave.

Looking at the princess's expression, you can tell that she can't hold on for much longer and will have to send the guests away.

Unexpectedly, after the princess finished speaking, she suddenly mentioned something, "Yesterday, the imperial physician diagnosed that I am two months pregnant, but the pregnancy is not good, so I need to rest and recuperate."

"I specifically asked the prince to hand over the affairs of the palace to Concubine Xie and Concubine Sun. If there is anything that cannot be decided, please report to me."

The princess' words shocked everyone in the room.

This is much more shocking than Concubine Jiang saying that she was pregnant.

The princess has been in the palace for eight years, and there has been no news of her pregnancy.

Everyone thought that the princess would never be able to give birth in this lifetime, so she would either have to raise the third daughter or adopt a child from the backyard after some time.

Who knew she would suddenly become pregnant!
