The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Chapter 132 The incident came to light

The princess just asked about the concubine's children as usual. After asking, her eyes fell on Fangse.

"Are you the new maid serving the prince?"

Fangse immediately stepped forward and saluted the princess.

The princess nodded slightly and listened to He coming up with the teacup.

Fangse obediently offered tea, listened to the princess's instructions, and officially became King Jing's concubine.

The princess said, "Since you have become a concubine, it is not appropriate for you to live in Qiufeng Courtyard anymore."

"I remember there's a small pavilion next to Qiufeng Courtyard. I think it's called Fangfei Pavilion. You can live there."

Fang Se glanced at Concubine Yun Shu before hesitatingly saying, "Thank you, Princess."

Fang Yuaner looked at it and sneered lightly, half smiling.

After returning to Xiachiyuan, Fang Yuaner went to see her son first.

After a few instructions, he said with disdain: "The Yun family is at least a princess, but they are really going backwards as they grow older. They even do things like pushing their maids to consolidate their favor."

This kind of thing is not uncommon.

Generally, concubines like to use this trick when they are pregnant, giving birth, or about to fall out of favor.

But none of the pregnant women in Prince Jing's mansion had ever used this trick.

By displaying her beauty, Concubine Yun was telling everyone that she was old and no longer in favor, and that she could only maintain favor by supporting those around her.

Wouldn't Fang Yuaner look down on him?

Fang Yuaner thought to herself that no matter how badly she ended up doing in the future, she would never do such a thing as pushing her maid into King Jing's bed.

Qiuxiang was calm, "Master, I just got the news. It turns out that Concubine Yun wanted to push another maid to serve the prince, but the prince chose Fangse."

"Another maid?" Fang Yuan'er sensed something was wrong: "Could it be that there's something wrong with this girl?"

Qiuxiang hesitated, "That girl's name is Fangcao. I heard from the people in Qiufeng Courtyard that her features resembled you and Concubine Xie a bit."

"What did you say?" Fang Yuaner looked disgusted.

"That Yun guy is really disgusting. He must have chosen someone like him on purpose!"

"I've always thought she wasn't a good person, but now her fox tail can no longer be hidden. Is she going to be exposed?"

Fang Yuan'er shook her head, and then felt something was wrong. "Nothing major has happened recently. Concubine Yun has been pretending to be invisible. She suddenly showed up now. There must be a reason."

Qiuxiang reminded: "Master, why hasn't anything big happened recently?"

She glanced in the direction of Chunshan Courtyard and said, "When Concubine Xie gave birth, two major events occurred."

"Although Dan Tao explained the matter of Concubine Xie's childhood sweetheart, the reason why that girl who deliberately harmed others and her childhood sweetheart came to the house has not yet been revealed."

Fang Yuaner frowned and said, "You're right."

"The Yun family has suddenly become restless. Could it be that she was behind the plot against Xie Run?"

After thinking for a moment, Fang Yuaner felt relieved again, "Our prince is not a patient man."

"If it's really related to the Yun family, we'll know the result soon."

It was not only Fang Yuaner who made such a guess, but also the princess and Wan Linlang, who had the same idea.

Xie Run had long been suspicious of Concubine Yun.

Now that Concubine Yun is promoting her maidservants to serve King Jing, it seems that she is afraid of something.

Xie Run was not in a hurry at all and focused on taking care of the children every day.

Dan Tao told her, "I heard that the maidservant that Concubine Yun originally wanted to promote has some similarities between her eyebrows and eyes with you and Concubine Fang."

Xie Run was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "If Fang Yuan'er heard this news, she would probably be disgusted to death."

Fang Yuan'er is proud and arrogant. How could she tolerate someone giving a substitute to King Jing in front of her?

Dan Tao asked doubtfully, "Isn't the master angry?"

Xie Run was stunned, "Why should I be angry?"

She is not as arrogant as Fang Yuaner, who cannot stand anyone or anything that is similar to herself.

Xie Run thought to himself.

Prince Jing is still just a prince now.

If she becomes emperor in the future, people around her will try every means to stuff women into her arms.

By then, not to mention someone who looks even slightly similar to Xie Run, maybe even a high-end version of Xie Run could be sent to King Jing.

If Xie Run gets angry about such a small matter now, he will be angry forever in the future.

She doesn't want to have breast hyperplasia at such a young age.

Xie Run smiled and said, "Whether you want it or not, whether you favor it or not, all depends on your Highness's own decision."

"There will only be more things like this happening in the future, not less. If I get angry about every one of them, I'll just be living my life in anger."

Dan Tao couldn't help but sigh: "Master, you are so generous. It seems that I am overthinking."

Xie Run smiled and said to Dan Tao coquettishly, "Isn't it because I have a capable girl like you that I feel at ease?"

"The kitchen made chicken broth with matsutake mushrooms today. I asked them to leave a jar for you. Remember to eat it while it's hot."

Dan Tao smiled and said, "This servant can enjoy the happiness of following the master."

"By the way, Master, Xiao Shu said her injuries have mostly healed, and she's eager to come and serve you. She said she's worried that the young master might become shy and not want her to take care of him anymore."

When she said this, Dan Tao couldn't help laughing.

Xie Run asked, "Is she really okay? Don't help her hide it from me."

Dan Tao nodded: "I have seen her wound with my own eyes, and it has indeed healed a lot."

"That's fine. I happen to be short of help here, but I'm sorry to bother you until she's fully recovered."

"What kind of words are you talking about?" Dan Tao said helplessly, "This is what a servant should do, why do you use the word 'tiring'?"

Xie Run said innocently: "Don't I feel sorry for you?"

Dan Tao's heart softened at her innocent look, and she said, "Amitabha, this servant finally knows who the young master inherited her love of laughing and acting like a spoiled child from."

Xie Run couldn't help laughing.

Taotao is a child who loves to laugh.

When someone teased her, she would grin sweetly, revealing the dimples on her cheeks, which made the maids serving her laugh so hard that their hearts softened.

These days everyone is vying to serve.

After having a child, Chunshanyuan became more and more lively.

In the evening, King Jing went to Fangfeiyuan.

That is the courtyard of the newly-minted concubine Fang.

This went on for three days.

Everyone was originally paying attention to the turmoil outside the mansion, but now their attention was attracted by Concubine Fang.

On the fourth day, King Jing went to Fangfei Pavilion again.

Concubine Fang had been favored for three consecutive days and had already gotten used to the feeling of being the master. She walked forward with a smile to greet King Jing.

King Jing, however, changed his gentle and tolerant attitude of the past few days. He simply dismissed everyone else and looked at Concubine Fang coldly.

Concubine Fang's heart trembled when King Jing looked at her, and she immediately knelt on the ground.

"I don't know what I did wrong to make the prince so angry."

"Please make it clear, Your Majesty, that this servant is willing to be punished!"

A half-smile crossed King Jing's cold face. "How did your master and Princess Su get together? As a servant, you should know everything, right?"

When Concubine Fang heard these words, her face turned pale.
