The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Chapter 157: Inviting favor?

Xiao Shu was stunned and said softly, "Master, are you wrong?"

No matter what, it is a matter of whether King Jing is willing to meet Xie Run, not what attitude Xie Run should adopt when meeting King Jing.

Xie Run laughed and said, "Don't be too anxious."

"Even if I'm no longer favored, is the Fifth Young Master still safe? If the prince doesn't want to see me, he must at least see the Fifth Young Master."

"It's still a long time before I, your master, fall out of favor!"

Seeing how greedy King Jing was for her when he left, Xie Run felt that she would not fall out of favor in the short term.

Now that he hasn’t come, I’m afraid this person is planning something bad.

Xie Rungang said what attitude he would adopt when meeting King Jing, because he didn't want King Jing to succeed.

In other words, she had to have some fun with King Jing, at least to let him know that she was a little different.

Of course, she couldn't explain these things to the two girls.

Xie Run knew that after she secured her position as a concubine, she had never truly fallen out of favor.

Suddenly faced with the crisis of falling out of favor, the maids were a little panicked.

Xiao Shu and Dan Tao gradually calmed down when they saw that their master was not worried at all.

Xie Run continued to climb mountains every day to exercise, and occasionally played with the children, without any intention of seeking favor from King Jing.

In fact, many people in the palace thought that Xie Run was waiting for King Jing to bow first, and were waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

The maids in Chunshanyuan were panicked at first, but they were able to keep their composure in the end.

Xie Run remained silent for another five days before he finally made some movement.

Taking advantage of the day when King Jing was on leave, Xie Runxian sent someone to the front yard to inquire about King Jing's movements.

Only when she was sure that King Jing was in the study did she ask Dan Tao and Xiao Shu to dress her up.

In the past, Xie Run always dressed in a low-key manner, wearing as few hairpins as possible, for fear that they would weigh down his neck.

This time she wore a high bun, a full set of filigree ruby headpiece, and two bright red ruby earrings on her ears, which made her skin look as white as snow.

There was a necklace hanging around her neck and a lot of jewelry hanging around her waist.

As the lotus steps moved lightly, the jingling sound of changing jewelry could be heard.

Her makeup was also different from the light one in the past. She drew her eyebrows longer, painted her lips red, and drew a red lotus flower between her eyebrows with cinnabar.

Her eyes are smiling, and she looks charming and graceful, making her look even more delicate and noble like a favored concubine.

The maids in Chunshan Courtyard were all stunned.

Xiao Shu said softly, "Master's appearance is not inferior to that of the ladies in the palace."

"It's a shame to not dress up on weekdays."

Xie Run smiled and said, "It's beautiful, but it's really tiring."

If it wasn't necessary, Xie Run really didn't like this outfit.

She reached out calmly, picked up a pair of gold filigree bracelets from the table and put them on, then stood up with the help of Dan Tao.

"Let's go and ask to see the prince."

The maids in Chunshan Court thought that Xie Run was seeking favor and were extremely excited.

The limelight of this palace cannot be monopolized by Concubine Fang!

There is a distance from Chunshan Courtyard to the front yard.

When the maids and servants on the road saw Xie Run dressed up, they all guessed that she was dressing up specially to go to the front yard to seek favor.

By the time Xie Run arrived at the front yard, the news had already spread everywhere.

King Jing, who was reading in his study, heard the news and smiled, "She can't sit still anymore."

Eunuch Shi'an asked knowingly, "Your Majesty, if Concubine Xie came, would you like to see her?"

King Jing's eyes darkened and he glanced at him, "What do you think?"

Eunuch Shi'an smiled apologetically, "This is the first time Concubine Xie has come to the front yard. I dare not stop her."

"You dare not?" King Jing snorted, "Old fox!"

When Fang Yuaner came to the front yard, how many people did he stop?

As soon as Xie Run arrived, Eunuch Shi'an immediately welcomed her in personally.

King Jing was sitting at his desk seriously reading official documents, and occasionally correcting something with his hands.

"Xie Shufei came to the front yard to see me for something?"

He originally wanted to ignore Xie Run for a while, but when he looked up inadvertently and caught a glimpse of Xie Run, whose eyebrows were delicate and charming, he couldn't take his eyes off her.

King Jing coughed lightly and said, "Your outfit today is quite fresh."

Xie Run smiled and said, "I am timid, so naturally I have to rely on these gold and jade decorations to boost my courage."

There was some confusion in King Jing's eyes.

Xie Run doesn't look like he's here to seek favor?

Her smiling face was so beautiful that it could dazzle people's eyes.

Xie Runlian took light steps, lowered her narrow and affectionate peach blossom eyes, and stared straight at King Jing.

"Your Highness has not come to Chunshan Courtyard for several days since entering the palace. I'm afraid he has forgotten me and Taotao?"

Her words were filled with a touch of resentment and a touch of coquettishness.

The look in her eyes was so affectionate, as if her sincerity had been betrayed.

The eyes that only reflected King Jing slowly turned red.

King Jing's heart softened and he could no longer act.

Just as she was about to open her mouth to say a few nice words to comfort him, she heard Xie Run pursed his lips and said, "Since the prince no longer favors me, I will also be unbridled for once."

"Imresistible?" King Jing couldn't help laughing. "I heard that you were impresarious once in Songya Courtyard. You looked quite heroic."

King Jing's words were full of sarcasm, and he did not mean to hold anyone accountable.

Xie Run's eyes became even redder, tears welling up in his eyes and about to fall, so he immediately turned the tables and blamed the other party.

"It was the prince who said at the beginning that as long as we were in the right, we could fight back. But now he wants to hold us accountable for our return?"

She looked determined to fight it out, gritting her teeth and saying, "If that's the case, then I don't have to be afraid anymore!"

As she spoke, she looked around and picked out a porcelain vase that was nearest and not very expensive and smashed it.

With a bang, the vase exploded into pieces!

King Jing was stunned, and Shi'an and others who were guarding outside were also stunned.

Didn’t you agree to come here to seek favor?

After Xie Run smashed it, he looked at King Jing guiltily.

Seeing that King Jing was not angry, he stepped forward again, grabbed the pen holder, and threw all the pens on it.

The inkstone, paperweight and books on the bookshelf were all thrown out one by one.

The expression on his face as he looked at King Jing while falling was like that of a child who had never done anything bad but was still brave enough to lose his temper.

King Jing was so surprised at first that he couldn't help laughing. He just sat on the chair and watched Xie Run fall quietly.

"The ornaments on the bookshelf were given to me by my father. Do you want to throw them down too?"

Xie Run walked closer, thought about it seriously, and seemed to make up his mind. He picked it up and threw it to the side!

King Jing couldn't help laughing, and said, "There's a gift prepared for you in the third pavilion. Do you want to throw it away together?"

Xie Run was stunned, picked up the box and opened it, and saw a ruby necklace with an exotic style.

The ruby in the middle is half the size of a baby's fist. The entire necklace is finely crafted, dazzling and very gorgeous.

Xie Run silently held the box in his arms.

King Jing glanced at her and asked with a half-smile, "Are you not going to fall anymore?"

Xie Run held the box and snorted softly: "I just want to throw the prince's things! Why would I throw my own things?"

King Jing scoffed, "Alright, keep throwing!"

Xie Run held the box in his arms, picked things up in the study with one hand, and threw the ones he liked to the ground.

While falling, he stepped back carefully, fearing that he would hurt himself.

They were thrown all over the floor.
