Wang Rong and the Imperial Lower Consort Yang that were summoned to accompany her in her lunch. Wang Rong was dressed in her usual white dress, with her hair tied low and an Ouroboros Clan phoenix hairpin stuck in her hair. Without any makeup on her face, she sat on the seat of honor with a faint smile, just like when the three of them sat together to eat at the Chuxiu Palace. Since entering the palace, we have been in a hurry, and only now do we have the time to sit down and talk. ”
Wang Rong and that childish round face were only an illusion. Because of her calm attitude, Liu Jing and Yang Jingru treated her as their pillar.
When the Imperial Lower Consort Liu heard this, she remembered the previous situation and became excited. She turned her head and used her handkerchief to cover her eyes, ”Esteemed Empress, your concubine has been disrespectful.” However, no matter how much they resembled each other, it was still a matter of life and death. At that time, her state of mind would never be able to return.
Wang Rong He patted her hand. ”These days, you've suffered greatly.”
”Only, your majesty doesn't like them. The concubines don't feel bitter.” The Imperial Lower Consort Liu said, ”But there are too many in the imperial harem, it's really a bit bitter.” The palace was deep, and the bed was cold. In the daytime, she would stare at the palace walls in a daze, and in the night, she would stare at the candlelight in a daze. She had also had a small thought about being happy with the emperor, but without her in the emperor's eyes, those little thoughts of her inviting favors were just asking to be humiliated, so she might as well rest for now.
Although it had only been a few months since she entered the palace, Liu Jing had already felt the loneliness in the harem.
This loneliness, was a bitterness. There was no end of suffering.
Wang Rong He looked at her and said, ”You're wrong. It's exactly because His Majesty doesn't like me that you feel bitter.”
”You've only been in the palace for a few months, and you're already in the throne. How come you don't have the heart to fight for a favor?” Wang Rong He said, ”This new son of the palace maid looks forward to the Emperor's favor, and wants a child by his side. I never thought you were straight, but I never thought you were stupid. It's not a good thing for you to be so discouraged. ”
Liu Jing looked at Wang Rong and laughed bitterly, ”The Empress did not see the look in Your Majesty's eyes when he looked at me.
”His Imperial Majesty's gaze makes me feel cold.” Liu Jing said, ”It is as if I am His Majesty's enemy, when I see His eyes, my heart went cold.” These words, she should have kept in her stomach, but even in front of Yang Jingru, she was single-mindedly optimistic, and did not reveal any of it.
However, he couldn't hide it from Wang Rong He.
Perhaps she still had the thought that she might have a way to open it up, so she didn't say it out loud. It was just like what Wang Rong He had said, they simply didn't have any holy pets. It was fine if they had a child by their side, even if it was just a little princess.
”Don't let your imagination run wild. If His Majesty sees you as his enemy, why are you still sitting on the throne?” Wang Rong He said.
”His Majesty's thoughts will change. Let's take it slowly. It's mainly because of your mental state. If you're so dispirited and don't have any fighting spirit, you won't be able to change it even if others help you. ”
”There are so many women in the imperial harem, and even if he had only one a day, it wouldn't be enough. So if the Emperor summons you once, you won't be able to grasp the opportunity, but the next time, it'll be even more difficult to see.” Wang Rong He said.
”Jing Ru, what did His Majesty often do in your palace?” Wang Rong asked.
”When His Majesty comes to the palace, he will play a game of chess with me, chat with me casually, and then settle down. Your Majesty has never slept in my palace. ” Yang Jingru said, ”Other than Imperial Consort Guo's Yi Kun Palace, your majesty hasn't even stopped at the rear palace. After settling down, you can return to your Qianqing Palace to rest.”
”Liu Jing can't do what you said either.” Wang Rong She shook her head and laughed, ”Your Majesty likes people to be straightforward with their true nature, but it is also a modified true nature. The Imperial Consort Guo was favored, did she look better than others? You see how she does things, how she is arrogant, and when she faces His Majesty, will she become a lady? But His Majesty had only said that she was a straightforward person. It could be seen that His Majesty liked her modified personality. If you are unsure which ones are the true personalities that the Emperor likes, then enlarge them when you sense that the Emperor likes one of your characteristics. ”
”We have to observe it as well. What do you like about your other concubines, your majesty?”
”Lord Chu is so skinny, he must have starved to death in the palace. This is not a joke. ”
Wang Rong wished that she could break the conversation. After she said those words, the food had turned cold. Wang Rong said self-deprecatingly, ”Look at me, I forgot to eat when I'm talking. Furong, heat up these dishes.”
”The Empress is doing this for my own good, I know.” Liu Jing said, ”After the Empress entered the palace, my heart finally calmed down.”
”There is a limit to what I can do. You still have to take control of it yourself.” Wang Rong He said.
”Is the harem bitter or not? You and I are already from the harem, so we feel bitter so we eat a piece of dessert with sugar in our mouths. No one will put sugar in your mouth if they don't think about it. ”
Yang Jingru and Liu Jing stayed at the Kunning Palace for around two hours before they respectively returned. Wang Rong and all the people that could be served by the harem were written on paper, there were more than a hundred of them.
Wang Rong and her summoned Palace Manager Cui, marked all of the concubines that were not yet accepted as pets, and mainly marked them to be from the lower rankings. She then drew a circle around to let palace maid take a look, and the remaining five to be read every day for four to five days.
Of course, for people like Zhou Yuting, there was no need to meet others like him.
When they understood, Wang Rong made a seven day schedule and drew a grid for two to three people a day, with pictures and specialties attached. Wang Rong was very considerate and thought that they could all come and serve His Majesty together, and that His Majesty would choose who he liked.
