”That's right, sigh! This year, the Emperor will need to set up the Imperial Concubine Zhao as his successor. Unfortunately, the mausoleum hasn't been completed, and the Empress can't just bury her head in the ground and rest. ” Rong'er sighed with emotion.
”Alas! Actually, it's already not easy for the Emperor to submit after three years. It's a pity that the country was at war and the time of the mausoleum construction was rather late, making it difficult for the Empress to bury her body in the ground. ”
Rong-er said softly, not wanting to talk about something that would make both of them very sad. ”Jing-er, are you still on the battlefield?”
”Yes, I heard from Eldest Mother that General Tu Hai and his uncle are at Shaanxi Province. A few days ago, they had once again established a new position.” Wang Jingzhi softly replied.
”It was nice of you, Ama, to contribute to the Great Clear during the war.” Rong'er nodded.
”As a daughter, of course I hope that Ama can help the country and become an official, but if only we were a few years late.” Jing Er suddenly raised her head to look at Xiaoqing. ”Xiaoqing, can you leave the palace next year?”
”I've decided to leave the palace. I can't bear to part with my master.” Little Qing said with a smile.
”What nonsense are you talking about? I'll ask the emperor to see if there's any good guards who can find a good home for you.” Rong'er said with a smile.
Xiaoqing looked at Rong'er and said seriously, ”Mistress, Xiaoqing is just an ordinary household. Eldest Young Madam has already passed away, is it really okay for me to leave now? Even if he were to marry someone, at his age, plus he didn't have a good background, which family's man was still unmarried at this age? So even if he were to marry someone, would he still be able to do so? At most, it's just a concubine's room. ”
”This …” Rong'er knew that Xiaoqing's words were reasonable.
Those who want to leave the palace suffer every day because their masters are not good, and they follow bad masters or do bad jobs and suffer every day. Or else, if there are people waiting outside the palace and Xiaoqing follows such a good master, then she will never tire herself and she will never go through any hardships.
Jing Er chuckled and nodded. ”Actually, that's what a palace maid's life is like. It's really difficult …”
Everyone thought about it and fell into a short silence …
