Rong'er was in Xuande's room with Xuande, arranging the luggage.
”Sister Rong, are you tired? This time, the journey has always been tight. You have always lived simply, so I'm afraid that you have committed a terrible sin? ” Xuande asked with concern.
”What's there to be tired about? If it's not traveling by boat, then it's by car. It's really not easy to be able to come out with the Emperor. I'm getting older and older, and my chances of getting out of here are getting smaller and smaller.” Rong'er said with a smile.
”Big sister, don't speak such depressing words. I'm afraid it won't be necessary. All of us can see how much the emperor loves you.” No matter what others did, she would not think of seizing the position of Rong'er in the Emperor's heart. That position was deeply ingrained, and she was a smart person, so naturally, she would not think about fighting for that favor. Now that the Emperor treated her well, as long as she kept everything she had and did not let others take it, it would already be the greatest satisfaction.
”Rest early, I'm going back to my room. I'm afraid that the officials from the royal family still need to greet us. I'll come find you for dinner time.” Rong'er whispered to Xuande.
As Rong'er left Xuande's room, he suddenly heard someone arguing at the entrance of the small courtyard. They lived in a courtyard specially arranged by the Jiang Ning Prefecture, and the guards in the backyard were also guards who accompanied them. Rong'er couldn't help but look over to see a little girl around sixteen or seventeen years old arguing with the guards.
”Xiaoqing, let's go over and see what's going on.” Rong'er instructed Little Qing, who had followed her out, in a low voice. As he spoke, he walked towards the courtyard door.
Xiaoqing walked in front and shouted at the guards, ”What are you guys arguing about? ”It will affect the rest of the masters.”
The guard passed Rong'er over and hurriedly saluted: ”Imperial Concubine Rong, this woman insisted on entering the courtyard. Since the servants refused, she started making a ruckus here.”
”I don't know if I can enter, but the estate asks me to come over and ask if there's anything the two concubines need, but if you don't allow me to enter, then I won't enter.” He saw that this little girl was wearing an emerald green dress. Her skin was white and her appearance was sweet and charming, possessing the delicate charm of a Jiangnan girl. At this moment, she was speaking with dissatisfaction.
”Thank you for your trouble, young lady. If the emperor's servants need anything, they will trouble the palace. The imperial guards are a bit more polite towards the young lady as well.” Rong'er chuckled as he spoke.
”Are you the emperor's concubine?” The girl looked at Rong'er in surprise. ”You're very easy-going.”
Rong'er smiled and nodded. ”Lady, please go back.” She and Xuande did not speak to anyone else along the way. After all, they were the companions of the king, and the people outside were all trying to protect themselves from others, so they had to be extra careful.
The little girl looked at Rong'er's figure and pondered for a moment. After glaring at the guard, she turned and left …
