”Nothing can be compared to a peaceful state of mind. When this subject looks at the Empress, not to mention anything else, my mood will definitely be very good.” Xu Duzhong said.

”Of course, it's not that I'm praising you. The Empress has always been the kind of person that can support the boat ever since she was young. She's magnanimous and never worries about anything.” the old lady said.

”Then I hope that the Empress will be able to hold on to her original intention in the future.” Xu Duzhong bowed and took his leave.

At the bottom of the teacup was a small note, ”It's from Fangruo, I borrowed the hand of the medicine boy from the Imperial Physician Xu.”

Wang Rong She opened it to see, a simple poem, a few springtime branches. She was not famous for not raising her head, but when Wang Rong She saw it, she knew that it was written by Yang Jingru with her left hand. On the other hand, Fangruo did have intentions in mind, and this proved her ability. Wang Rong She casually rolled up the slip of paper and stuffed it into the incense burner. ”Anything else?”

”They say that the beauty Cui who lives in the side hall of Ying Kun Palace is the first new concubine to be pampered.” Xi Tao said.

Wang Rong and she thought about what Xu Duzhong had said and did not forget it. She could not help but shake her head and laugh bitterly. Now that she was on the shelf, if she didn't do anything, she would be unable to move an inch when she entered the palace.

”I want to know how the halls for the new concubines are arranged?” Wang Rong He said. I wrote a letter to Jingru and brought it with me. ”

Wang Rong and she had Yang Jingru pay respects to the two empress dowager everyday at the Peace Palace's Shoukang Palace, but twice in respect, Zhu Yijun flipped open Yang Jingru's name plate. Yang Jingru was a concubine and could be pampered in the hall.

All the other concubines swarmed over to pay their respects to the empress dowager. The empress dowager was annoyed beyond belief, so she gave the imperial edict, ”The concubines above concubine greet you once every three days, and the concubines below you once every ten days. You don't even need to enter the palace, you just need to kowtow outside. ”

While Wang Rong was eating the prawn and crab meat that Zhu Yijun sent over, and hearing that Yang Jingru had successfully accepted their favor, her face did not change, and she had mixed feelings in her heart. His Majesty wasn't bad to her, but she had to restrain her heart. If she didn't love him, she could peacefully arrange for him to sleep with other women. This was her life, a life that she could no longer escape.

She didn't even know if Yang Jingru would change after accepting a pet. In order to win the favor of the Holy Spirit, the sisters' rebellion was still vivid in her mind. She suddenly felt nauseous. She thought that she was a queen and didn't need to fight for a favor, but she was still worried that she would be in a difficult situation and that she would have to fight for a favor with her sisters. The balanced technique was calm and merciless.

However, she could only continue on like this. Even if it was disgusting.

Zhu Yijun and Yang Jingru were playing chess, ”My beloved concubine's chess skills are superb, it must have been tough on us winning.”

”Your concubine's chess skill is no match for mine. Your Majesty should have let me win.” Yang Jingru went out to clean up the chess pieces. Just like the empress, the Empress's chess skills are lacking, and I had to have the Empress wait a bit before she could play with me. ”

”She just looks like she's not very good at chess.” Zhu Yijun said as he looked at Yang Jingru. It was not surprising that she would bring up Empress, even though her new concubines had told him about the Empress before, he had no interest in interacting with others regarding the Queen. Those people would naturally shut their mouths awkwardly, what would the Empress say?

”Although the empress's chess skills are not good, she is very clever and made into cloth dolls with great ingenuity.” Yang Jingru said, she then took out a shadow from under the table, ”Look, this is made by the Empress, is it good?”

”She's the only one who's so bored to make such a thing.” Zhu Yijun played with it in his hand.

”The Empress wasn't bored. She was extremely serious at the time, even making up songs and practicing every day, as if she wanted to show them to whom?” I can't even pronounce it properly. ” Yang Jingru said, ”It's just that I suddenly stopped practicing and let Xi Tao throw away all these things. I found that I liked it and begged the Empress to give them to me.”

”When did it happen?” Zhu Yijun asked.

”Not long after, it happened seven or eight days ago.” Yang Jingru said.

Zhu Yijun calculated, wouldn't this be the time when he would need Wang Rong and the other geniuses who he had prepared to thank? Therefore, this was a talent that she had carefully prepared, not that little sister of hers. He had wronged her and even made her kneel for an entire night, so much so that his knees were broken.

”Your Majesty? Your Majesty? ” Yang Jingru called out to Zhu Yijun when she saw him holding the shadow.

”Oh. ”Right.” Zhu Yijun put down the shadow, ”When I think about it, I still have a copy to read, so I will return to Qianqing Palace first.”

Although Yang Jingru did not understand, she still kneeled down and saw Her Majesty off.

”Empress, His Majesty was originally planning to have dinner with the Empress, but why did the Empress suddenly mention the empress? His Majesty left in a hurry, and did not verify the rumors in the imperial harem. The Empress was only liked by the Empress Dowager Li, and his Majesty did not like it when others mentioned her.” The Great palace maid who was sent to her after being bestowed the concubine analyzed the situation to her.

”I would rather not be a pampered by myself than a good person like big sister. Good sister, I can only have fresh hopes of living in the palace. Without big sister, it would be like dying if I stay in this palace.” Yang Jingru said, ”As I said on the first day you guys came here, the Empress's life is far above mine, so you have to be more respectful and loyal to empress than me.

Liu Jing's Great palace maid helped her braid her hair. ”Empress, this new concubine has already become half spoiled. Her Majesty still hasn't gotten the chance to sign a contract with the Empress.”

”Not flipping at all, I'm still at ease.” Liu Jing said. After becoming the Imperial Lower Consort Liu, his eating and dressing speed would increase by another level. Liu Jing had not even had the time to enjoy it, how could she have the leisure to worry about the issue of the Emperor's favor?

”The esteemed Empress's good sister, the Imperial Lower Consort Yang Empress has long accepted the favor, why didn't you say anything?” palace maid complained.

”Slap her, go to the Palace Manager Bureau and tell your aunt that I can't use you anymore, tell your aunt to change her.” Liu Jing glared, her eyebrows revealing the wind.

”Empress, your servant was wrong. Your servant has no ill intentions.” palace maid kneeled and pleaded.

”If you didn't have any bad intentions, you wouldn't have said such words.”

”Do you take me for a fool?”
