Fangruo nodded her head and said, ”Then, this servant will return to the Qixiang Palace together with you.
Wang Rong looked at Fangruo, ”You are usually smart and have opinions, could it be that something is going to happen in the palace?”
”There are some developments, but I can't say for sure right now.” Fangruo shook her head and said, ”But it's probably not harmful to the Empress, it might actually benefit her.”
Hearing that, Wang Rong became serious, ”What do you think of Palace Manager Cui at Palace Manager?” She had entered the palace from marriage and had never interfered with the people of the six divisions. Perhaps other people thought that she was favoured by the empress, but they would do as they said. Perhaps she believed it like this. The people of the Six Paths of the empress were also well-adjusted to the empress treating the Six Paths as tools and not as their own people, as if they were at ease or lost.
In addition to the emperor, there were three other proper lords in the palace, as well as female officials who were fed various favors by the second wives. She did not try to rope them in because she knew that as long as she wanted, she could change and retrain everyone in the palace, and in that way, she would be a relatively clean person.
It was not easy to replace all the female officials on a large scale, so she had been waiting and watching. Humans were very deceptive. If it wasn't for the passage of time, one wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the real and the fake.
”Palace Manager Cui is a calm and reliable person, her control over the six rounds is extraordinary.” Fangruo said, ”Furthermore, Palace Manager Cui has a rather human nature, and is very popular in the six rounds.”
”Six sets of six Palace Manager s are all obedient to the Great Palace Manager Palace Manager Cui?” Wang Rong asked, but after receiving confirmation, she smiled, ”That Palace Manager Cui is truly a wonderful person.”
”Palace Manager Cui was promoted to Great Palace Manager only one month before the election. I heard that due to her age and seniority, the rest of the Palace Manager were not convinced at all. They only waited for the Empress to enter the palace before gradually gaining a foothold.
”She voted for me early on.” Wang Rong thought of something and said, ”From the first day I entered the palace, I don't know if it was because she was smart, or because someone was giving her advice.”
”Didn't the Empress trust Palace Manager Cui a lot?” Fangruo asked.
Wang Rong couldn't help but laugh as he shook his head, ”I only said that she should do normal palace duties. Trust her, it isn't an easy thing to do. At the very least, it's a life threatening matter, so I didn't dare to ask her to do it.”
Fangruo laughed, ”Why would the Empress want to die?”
”Not having one right now doesn't mean not having one forever.” Wang Rong He said, ”After you entered the palace, you all saw the difference between me and you guys, but you can't blame me for being biased. She served me since I was young, and she was the person I was willing to entrust my life to.”
”This servant will do my best to serve the Empress, I dare not compare myself to her.” Fangruo said.
”There's no need to compare yourself to her. Your uses are different.” Wang Rong He said.
”If the palace maid beside me says that they don't trust anyone the most, then it's your turn. After all, there are previous examples.” Wang Rong She suddenly laughed, and looked at the nervous Fangruo and said: ”But back then when I made an agreement with you, you did very well, so we can let bygones be bygones, and let bygones be bygones, it is the new beginning. You have stayed in the Clothes Washing Bureau for such a long time, yet you still wish to enter there to wait upon me, and you have to rely on your own abilities. At that time, I would think that as long as you do not go about things in two or three ways, I will trust you without a doubt. ”
”Although I didn't have you wait on me, I still wanted you to meet with Palace Manager Cui from the beginning. One day, you will take my place.”
”Because I can feel that you are not looking forward to getting married out of the palace, nor do you want to one day serve Your Majesty. If you want to live a good life in the harem, the Great palace maid who holds power is the result of your pursuit.”
Fangruo kneeled on the ground, ”To be honest, esteemed wangfei, this servant had lived a rough life, when I sold myself into the palace and became a palace maid, I swore that I would never go back and lead a life like this, but serving Your Majesty, this servant knows what he's worth, and absolutely does not dare to hope. I, your servant, did many evil deeds during the Chuxiu Palace to pick a good master and perform well. I didn't think that if I were to take the wrong path, the Empress would not mind the former grudges and instead gave me a way out. I swore at that time that I would only have the Empress as my master in the harem, and if Empress was willing to use me, then it would be because I have been fortunate for generations, so I naturally would do my best to serve Empress. ”
”You don't have to be in a hurry to show your loyalty.” Wang Rong He called out to her, ”The loyalty you have on your face is the most worthless thing to say. Today, I'll tell you all of this because I consider you as one of my own.”
”You're a smart person. I knew it from the beginning. A smart person is good, but they also know what they want. We'll weigh the pros and cons and work together smoothly.” Wang Rong He said, ”As long as you continue to be smart, I will always use you. Naturally, I will also be able to get what you want.”
Fangruo nodded her head with hot tears in her eyes. Her face was filled with gratitude.
After exiting the Qixiang Palace, she turned seven corners and went to Chen Ju's resting place, ”Why is Miss free to come today?” Chen Ju laughed and asked, ”You are busier than me, you have to be free and not meet.”
”Today, I went to see the Empress. The Empress finally believes in me.” Fangruo sat down and said.
”It's not good for the Empress to believe you. Have you expressed your loyalty?” For example, if you tell the Empress about our relationship, then the Empress would feel more at ease using you? ” Chen Ju tried to test the waters.
Fangruo rolled his eyes, ”If you don't say it, my little life is also in the hands of the Empress.
”Besides, the empress did not accept anyone.” Fangruo said, as she pursed her lips and laughed again, ”Although I misjudged the situation at the beginning, fortunately I surrendered in time, so it was a pretty good result.”
