”His Majesty went to the Gonghou Garden?” Empress Dowager Li asked.
”Yes.” palace maid said as she lowered her hand. However, His Majesty did not meet the Imperial Consort Candidate directly. It seems that he had left by a different route the moment he saw the Imperial Consort Candidate. ”
”Let's go to the Palace of Tzu Ning. I wish to discuss this with my sister. It's time to meet with the Imperial Consort Candidate.” The Empress Dowager Li said.
Wang Zhixi said she wanted to come and stay with Wang Rong, and Wang Rong wanted to meet her. In the past, Wang Zhixi had never been so sticky with her, ”Then what about the Miss Liu that you promised?”
Wang Zhixi held onto the handkerchief, ”It's best if elder sister can bring me both into the main hall. If that's not possible, then Mu Lan has already spoken to me about it. She knows that I'm afraid. She came from a peasant family, so she wasn't that scared. ”
”Aren't you going to tell your aunt about it?” Wang Rong He said. Do you want me to help you talk about moving into the front hall?
”Elder sister.” Wang Zhixi's eyes immediately reddened.
”Alright, I'll go speak. You don't need to make such a face.” Wang Rong He said that at home, Wang Zhixi's tricks were actually useless against her. Although she didn't have the ability to cry like Wang Zhixi had said, she still hid a handkerchief inside her sleeves, covering her face and rubbing her eyes, pretending to be pitiful. Wasn't it just repeating that it was my fault, who wouldn't?
After Wang Zhixi left, Wang Rong didn't need to personally go find his aunt, so he called Xi Tao over, ”My sister is afraid to live in the back hall, and would like to stay in the front hall.
”All of the young ladies in the rear hall want to live in the front hall now. My aunt is getting annoyed.” Xi Tao said.
”Then tell me, I'll trade with my sister. She'll go to the front hall. I'll go to the back hall. A radish for a hole. Aunty has nothing to worry about.” Wang Rong He said.
”But young lady, everyone hates having bad luck at the back of the palace. Why are you still going to the back?” Xi Tao asked.
”It's not like he's really a ghost, where did he get such bad luck from?” ”Besides, I'm doing it now. It's quiet in the rear of the palace.” Wang Rong said with a smile.
”When you go ask Auntie, ask on my behalf as well.” Yang Jingru said, ”Don't your sister have a companion? Let the two of them live together.”
”I will also go to the back of the palace to seek some peace and quiet.” Yang Jingru laughed, ”It wasn't easy to get used to a hairpin technique, what if you are not here anymore?”
Wang Rong smiled, a hint of sincerity in her smile.
Wang Rong and Yang Jingru had moved into the rear hall, and Wang Zhixi and Liu Mulan had moved into the front hall. Wang Zhixi's entire body was trembling as she looked at Wang Rong and Yang Jingru, ”Big sister, I have never thought of exchanging with you, I just want to squeeze with you.” Wang Rong had exchanged bedchamber with her, so if those who knew better were able to exchange for worse, wouldn't that just help her reputation? What if my aunt thinks she's cute? It was simply not worth it.
”It's okay, you're scared. I'm not afraid. ” Wang Rong He said, ”You and Lady Liu can stay together. I have already agreed to have you two stay in the same room, next to each other's bunks.”
”Sister Wang, I'm not afraid either. Otherwise, you and Zhixi can live together in the front hall.” Liu Mulan said.
”Jing Ru only moved to the back hall because of me. If I let her stay in the front hall by myself, wouldn't that be disloyal?” Wang Rong He said, ”Don't say anymore, hurry up and move or Palace Manager's aunt will come over to ask what happened.”
It wasn't until they were settled in the front hall that Liu Mulan finally spoke to Wang Zhixi, ”Your sister might have a bad mouth or she might not know how to get close to you, but she's still a good person. At a time like this, she's still willing to exchange rooms with you, and even I thought about it.
Wang Zhixi nodded with red eyes, ”That's why I feel so bad. If I knew earlier that I had to move out because I lived here, I wouldn't have said those words.”
Since you're here, you can rest easy.” Otherwise, Auntie will get angry. ”” No, no. Liu Mulan said.
It wasn't as full as all the rooms in the front hall. There were only two people in each room in the back hall. Wang Rongzhi stood in the middle and took a deep breath, feeling that the air was a little fresher.
”The more people in front, the more dizzy they get listening to. It's not bad at the back of the hall.” Yang Jingru also spoke his heart.
Originally, there were seven people serving in one hall, but now that the people in the rear hall weren't satisfied, the palace maid had gone to the front hall to serve them. There were two palace maid s and two eunuchs serving them in the back hall, and there were only three palace maid s and two eunuchs serving them in the main hall. Xi Tao followed him from the front hall to the back hall. Wang Rong smiled and said, the front hall had more people now, so no matter how many palace maid s there were, they would not be able to command them.
Xi Tao pursed her lips and smiled. She liked Miss Wang, ever since Miss Wang praised her that she had a good name, and since Miss Wang was easy to serve, she was happy to serve her. Furthermore, she had not used up all the silver Miss Wang had given her.
There was a light tap outside the window, and a young eunuch poked his head out. He smiled at Wang Rong and said, ”My regards to young lady, this young one's name is Anshun, you can call me whatever young lady wants.”
Afraid or not, he said that it was Eunuch Zhang who told me to listen to his lady's orders.
Seeing that he was only twelve or thirteen years old and still half a child, Wang Rong felt her heart soften as she took out three silver beans from her purse and gave them to him. Here, I'll buy you some sugar to eat. ”
”Thank you for your reward, Miss.” Brother Zhang had said that the master wanted to use you to reward you with silver.
The next day, a painter came to paint a portrait of the Imperial Consort Candidate, everyone had heard of Wang Zhaojun's story, the biggest purse was definitely prepared to give to the painter. While the painter was painting another Imperial Consort Candidate, Wang Rong and the painter of the goatee turned around and glared at Wang Rong, as if he was afraid that she would steal the painter's painting.
Wang Rong decided to save her purse.
Black and white lines of the same oval face, only said the appearance does not state the details, the pay bag is not much better.
In the evening, Aunt Cui came to announce that the empress dowager was due to meet the empress dowager tomorrow with a group of twenty. Aunt Cui looked at the names of the people at the back of the palace and asked, ”How did this Wang Rong guy end up in the back?” She was none other than the aunt who gave Wang Rong and the final examination. She normally did not appear at Chuxiu Palace but would only appear when there was a scolding or major incident. The other aunt was in charge of the Chuxiu Palace.
