The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Chapter 331 Promoting Narrowness

Hearing this, his face was calm: "The emperor conferred the title of Consort Wenxian for the sake of the queen, and he also didn't want to follow Xia Chao's wishes."

"It's fine that Princess Cheng Huan only received the title of Consort, but do you know why she was given the title of An?" Xie Run said with a smile, "The Emperor can be a bit mean when he bestows titles."

For example, Jiang Baobao's "Duan" and Fang Yuaner's "Gong".

It really seems like irony no matter how you look at it.

Xiao Shu nodded repeatedly: "I remember it now."

Dan Tao and Xie Run both looked at her.

Xiao Shucai said, "Princess Chenghuan was very aggressive and arrogant when she was in the Yu Dynasty. Because her mother was favored, she looked down on other princesses, insulting them at every turn and sometimes even beating them."

"However, this person is clever and intelligent, and quite beautiful. She is one of the most beloved daughters of the Emperor of the Yu Dynasty, which is why she has always been spoiled."

"The Emperor bestowed upon her the title of An, perhaps to warn Concubine An to behave herself and not cause trouble in the harem."

The two maids also stayed with Xie Run in the palace for several years and knew that the emperor hated people who caused trouble the most.

Jiang Baobao is an example.

Xie Run smiled and said, "This is not the time when the Grand Emperor is on the throne. If Princess Cheng Huan doesn't control her temper, she will probably have to keep Lady Duan company in the future."

Among these three people, Xie Run was actually the least worried about An Jieyu.

"Then this Concubine Li..."

Xie Run shook his head: "I'm afraid few people in the harem know about the Rakshasa Kingdom's envoy's mission. I'm afraid the emperor has other plans."

Xie Run was more inclined to believe that the emperor was about to mobilize troops and might be cooperating with the Rakshasa Kingdom.

Unfortunately, she was locked up in the backyard for too long and didn't have many eyes and ears to investigate deeper matters.

He had just said two sentences when someone suddenly reported that Lady Lu wanted to see him.

Xie Run had someone lead her forward.

Lady Lu seemed to have just heard the news from somewhere and couldn't wait to share it with Xie Run.

"Thank you, Sister. I just learned that it was Concubine Li who took the initiative to ask to live in Chonghua Palace."

Xie Run put down the needle in his hand and frowned. "Concubine Li took the initiative to ask to live in Chonghua Palace? Why does she like Chonghua Palace so much?"

"Could it be that she is friends with Fang Yuan'er?"

At this moment, Xie Run suddenly understood why the queen arranged her sister to live in Hui Xiuyi's Yongming Palace.

If Concubine Li asked to live in Chonghua Palace, then Concubine Wenxian would have to be placed in Yongming Palace.

Lady Lu shook her head and said, "I just got this news from Hui Xiuyi."

"Concubine Li is a princess of the Luosha Kingdom and has never been to the Yu Dynasty. She suddenly wants to compete with Gong Xiurong for the Chonghua Palace. I'm afraid there is another reason."

The most important thing is that among the six palaces, except for Fengyi Palace and Zhaohe Palace, the best one should be Yongning Palace.

This was converted from the Zichen Palace where Concubine Chen lived.

If Concubine Li really wanted to snatch a good palace to live in, she should compete with Concubine Jing, not Fang Yuaner.

Lady Lu had a lot of imagination. As soon as she sat down, she moved closer to Xie Run and asked in a low voice, "Sister Xie, do you think Concubine Li is Concubine Wan?"

Fortunately, Xie Run was not embroidering at the moment, otherwise her finger would have been pierced with a bloody hole.

"Don't talk nonsense if that's the case."

Although Xie Run was trying to stop Lady Lu, he couldn't help but think about the similarities between Concubine Li and Wan Linlang.

After thinking for a long time, she shook her head: "This Concubine Li has a slender and graceful figure, and is naturally charming. Her temperament is nothing like Wan Linlang."

"And I've never heard that Wan Linlang knows the Rakshasa dance?"

Lady Lu said subconsciously: "The aura can be changed, and the dance can also be learned..."

Before he could finish his words, the two of them looked at each other and the atmosphere became eerily quiet.

Xie Run: "Shouldn't it be?"

She couldn't say that she actually had some suspicions about Xian Zhaoyuan's sister, and was waiting to find out more about her during the audition.

Moreover, he was thinking about Wan Linlang's appearance in his mind, which had nothing to do with Concubine Li.

Lady Lu smiled awkwardly and said, "Actually, I also think these two have nothing in common. I was just saying it casually."

Xie Run lowered his eyes and thought, "Let's wait and see."

"If she really is targeting Fang Yuaner, the first thing she will do after entering Chonghua Palace will probably be to cause trouble for Fang Yuaner."

Lady Lu hesitated and said, "But even if she causes trouble for Fang Yuan'er, it doesn't prove that she is Concubine Wan."

Xie Run said helplessly: "Then do you think she is Wan Shiqie?"

Lady Lu shook her head and said with an awkward smile, "I was just guessing just now."

Xie Run: “…”

As soon as the two finished their blind guess, they received the news that Gong Xiurong had bumped into Concubine Li and was punished by Concubine Li.

Xiao Shu got the news and told Xie Run immediately: "I don't know how the conflict started, I only know that Gong Xiurong bumped into Concubine Li and was slapped twice by Concubine Li."

"Now the two are in Fengyi Palace asking the Queen to decide the case."

Xie Run asked directly: "Who brought up going to Fengyi Palace?"

Xiao Shu: "Concubine Li."

Xie Run was surprised. "I don't know if Concubine Li was really wronged or if she was just complaining first."

Lady Lu suddenly interrupted, "Thank you, sister. I think based on Concubine Li's style, it's impossible that she is Concubine Wan."

After all, Wan Linlang would never do such a thing in his next or next life.

Lady Lu: "I'd better not make random guesses next time. I almost scared myself."

Xie Run glanced at her, and he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.

In fact, she felt the same as Lady Lu, that Concubine Li and Wan Linlang had nothing in common.

Suddenly everything was connected together, and the more I thought about it, the stranger it became.

In the evening, news came from Fengyi Palace that Gong Xiurong was disrespectful to Concubine Li and was fined one month's salary.

Afterwards, Xie Run found out that the dispute between the two was about moving the palace, and it was indeed Fang Yuaner who couldn't help herself and spoke rudely, which angered Concubine Li.

When only the last ray of sunlight remained in the sky, news came from the Jingshifang.

The emperor did not visit the three new arrivals tonight, but stayed overnight in Fanghua Palace.

When Xie Run got the news, he just smiled and shook his head, looking as if he had expected it.

Turn over, cover yourself with the quilt and go to sleep.

For the next three days, the emperor flipped Hua Yu's card every day.

After staying in Fanghua Palace for three consecutive days, the atmosphere in the harem changed and everyone started to hold flowers and beautify themselves.

But everyone was confused.

Although Hua Xiurong had always been in the emperor's care, she had never received much imperial favor. Now she had been in his bedchamber for four consecutive days.

She dominated the emperor and neglected the three new princesses.

I don’t know whether it was because the emperor urged him or the Xia Dynasty envoys were in a hurry, but they left after only two days.

As soon as they left, Yunzhou began to deploy additional troops on the border.

The greetings took a long time that day, and the sun was too strong on the way back, so Xie Run simply went downstairs for a walk and went to the cool breeze pavilion next door to cool off.

She leaned against the pavilion and looked at the lotus flowers, with many servants following her inside and outside the pavilion.

There happened to be a lot of fish in the lake, so Xie Run asked Dan Tao to feed them with fish food.

She picked up the fish food and threw it into the water slowly, watching the fish rushing towards the food, and her mood was particularly calm.

After a while, some noises were heard.

"Eleventh Sister, I really underestimated you!"

"You used to be such a coward, shrinking your neck every day and not daring to even fart. Now that you've come to the Yu Dynasty, relying on the Queen's support, you've become even more arrogant!"
