Rong'er thought to himself: [There is a rule of survival in the palace. When you are favored by the royal family, especially when your position is very low, you will inevitably be suspected by others. However, as long as you don't think about it too much, no one can do anything to you.

Soon, Rong'er got used to visiting the empress dowager every day and chatting with her. She and the empress dowager were still the same as before, the emperor would occasionally issue orders to her, and of course, to others.

According to Rong'er's knowledge, she had always agreed to enter the palace for so long, so she probably hadn't received the favor of the emperor. Because she had always agreed to stay in the Eastern Palace Imperial Noble Concubine Yi s' palace, Rong'er really didn't know much about her, but she had always heard that she often promised to play the flute, and according to Xiaoqing's inquiries, the emperor had coincidentally heard her promise to play the flute one night when he went to see the Imperial Concubine Yi. Her agreement to play the flute attracted the emperor's attention as well. Actually, all of the imperial concubines had been favored by the Emperor before. Because of the frequency of the emperor's visits, and because the women were all at a young age, their chances of success would naturally increase as well.

Therefore, there was now a new argument in the palace. With the concubines in the main palace being pampered, there would be more chances for other women in the palace. Therefore, it was especially important to live in one of the chambers.

After all, there was no reason for Rong'er's Imperial Concubine to come and see her agree. It was just that Rong'er knew that she was born into a palace, and for the past few years, she had not spoken about her identity with anyone who had agreed to her request, especially with respect to those who were pregnant, she would personally visit and take care of them.

Rong'er looked around the room that Chang Xie had agreed to stay in. It was no different from a normal room, but what was more eye-catching was a jade flute with a faint glow. It looked really pretty, like it was made from imperial jade. Next to the jade flute hung an ordinary jade green bamboo flute. Rong'er smiled and said, ”I heard that little sister's flute is quite amazing. You've studied it for a long time, right?”

”No ….” ”No …” Chang Li's heart couldn't help but skip a beat. Ever since she was favored by the Emperor because of the flute, he had often heard her use all sorts of methods to attract the attention of the Emperor … So when Rong'er asked this question, she was a little worried. Although she knew that the Imperial Concubine Rong was a kind person, but she had never gotten to know him well before. She still said nervously, ”This subject … Chenqie was just randomly bragging, calculated … ”Not good …”

After all, she had heard of those rumors before, so she smiled and said, ”I am just curious, you don't have to be afraid. Actually, the fact that you can win the emperor's favor with your flute is also a blessing for you, so there is no need for you to care about what others say. That jade flute was bestowed by the Emperor, right? ”

”Yes, thank you Imperial Concubine Rong.” Seeing that Rong'er was really very sincere, Chang'er felt less nervous. He nodded slightly, but his eyes seemed to be a little despondent as he said, ”That jade flute was given to me by the Emperor.”

Rong'er was a bit confused. Why was there no happiness on her face? It was just that she didn't want to ask too much, so she smiled and said, ”Rest well. This is your first time. If there's anything you don't understand, send someone to ask me. You don't have to be polite with me …”

”Le'er, I've brought good food for you …” Rong'er hadn't even finished speaking when a young girl close to sixteen rushed in, carrying a bowl of soup. When she entered, she realized that Rong'er was there, so she stealthily raised her tongue and put away her smile. She said in an extremely tame manner, ”Min Ru greets Imperial Concubine Rong. I didn't know that Imperial Concubine Rong was here, excuse me.”

Rong'er was truly surprised. This Zhang Jianmin Ru was usually gentle and charming in front of everyone, but she never expected to have such a lively side to her. Smiling gently, he shook his head, ”No worries, you've promised to bring me some good food?”
