Rong'er thought to himself: There is a feeling in this palace that every woman must taste, and even I must taste. I don't blame the Imperial Concubine Wen for his cold words, maybe this is what I have to endure, no grievances or hatred, only calmly accept it. I think I can be very strong …
It had been a few days since they had returned from the outside world. This trip to the outside world, to Rong'er, was not a happy one at all, although it was very happy to be able to see Rong Xian, but to be able to personally witness the Emperor's promise and concern for him, he would definitely summon the King to accompany him everywhere he went. On the way, he would either play with his guqin to relieve his boredom, or go sightseeing in the mountains.
Chang Zai Bu was left behind with her, the two of them occasionally chatted. In the past, there were not many people who walked around the palace, but this time, they got closer to each other. Although their positions were different, they did not have any different relationships with each other.
Chang Zai Bu once asked her if she felt sad when she saw that the Emperor promised such a great favor under her nose. I remember that day, Rong Xian and Duan Jing went somewhere else, and Rong'er walked together with Chang Zai Bu on the grassland. The sky was especially blue that day, and the green, long grass was giving off a faint fragrance of earth, Rong'er suddenly felt envious of her daughter, this kind of vastness really makes one's heart relaxed and happy, and when Chang Zai Bu suddenly asked this question, Rong'er's heart still trembled a little. He pulled up a stalk of grass and looked at it as he spoke. After a long time, he said, "The grass can't grow green and the person can't stay long. How could I dare to ask for it?"
Chang Zai Bu gently smiled, and spoke with a profound tone, "Although Imperial Concubine Rong is unwilling to say it, I know that you feel terrible inside, but … Do you know? All these years, your current state of mind has been the mood of most of the women in the palace. The only thing is, Wang Jiami's current position was then you. " Bu Chang Chang grinned bitterly. "You have once been green, after all, and there are too many people who haven't even been green. In the eyes of the Emperor, like me and the horses, there is no color at all."
Rong'er felt excruciating pain in his heart. Causality cycle? Was this really the way of the heavens? Now, she had already deeply tasted this feeling. Although the emperor was still very good to her, his promise to the king was also very dazzling.
She said to Chang Zai Bu: "In this harem, there is no one who will be defeated forever. We have to find our own way of survival, just like how the spirit of my palace promised us, she will wholeheartedly seek the Buddha for happiness in the Buddhist scriptures. This is also a way of living.".
In fact, Rong'er still felt that what he said was a bit far-fetched. After all, the pain in his heart was so real, and she still cared about the Emperor. However, other than letting him think it through, what else could she do?
"Imperial Concubine Wen has arrived!" A shout from outside the palace interrupted Rong'er's train of thought, causing him to stand up and welcome the Imperial Concubine Wen.
"Your concubine greets Imperial Concubine your highness!" Seeing the Imperial Concubine Wen enter, Rong'er hurriedly saluted.
"Elder sister, please forgive me." Imperial Concubine Wen laughed lightly and walked straight to his seat. After he sat down, he smiled and said: "Elder Sister Rong, today the Emperor brought His Majesty to Free Spring Garden. Do you know?"
"Chenqie understands." Rong'er replied softly, raising his head to look at Imperial Concubine Wen, his expression was puzzled, she did not know why Imperial Concubine Wen would ask about this.
"That's right. Recently, the emperor's favored king has promised to take good care of him. Yesterday, the emperor told the empress dowager that he would take his younger sister to the palace. His younger sister is a nation like her." Colour. The next day. Xiang, in this imperial harem, the Wang Family sisters will take the ultimate emperor's favor! " Imperial Concubine Wen's smile became even wider.
Did the Emperor want to take his sister into the palace? Rong'er's heart was filled with bitterness, but she did not know why Imperial Concubine Wen was talking to her about this. She raised her head and looked at Imperial Concubine Wen, not saying a word.
"Imperial Concubine Rong, is your heart very sad?" Imperial Concubine Wen was overbearing.
Rong'er was a little angry in her heart. Now that she looked at it, it was obvious that Imperial Concubine Wen had come to look for her for trouble. She coldly replied, "Chenqie doesn't feel this way."
"No?" Really? You know what? Back then, when you took over the Emperor, do you know how many people in this harem were unhappy? Do you know? " Imperial Concubine Wen raised his voice.
Rong'er looked at Imperial Concubine Wen in shock. Actually, in the past few years, whether it was Imperial Concubine Wen's domineering attitude or her change in attitude, she had always been polite to her. But ever since they came to the North, the attitude she received from the Imperial Concubine Wen had changed a lot.
Imperial Concubine Wen stood up, sneered, walked to Rong'er's side, and said softly, "How did my sister, Empress Xiaozhao, die? She died because of you! Now that you're out of favour, you should try out my sister's pain! No, it's not only my sister's, but also the pain of many of the palace maid's people, you should taste it all! " After Imperial Concubine Wen finished speaking, he suddenly laughed out loud, "Haha, the heavens have eyes, Imperial Concubine Rong, remember, before, there were people who had pain because of you, but today, there will also be people who make you suffer!" With that said, Imperial Concubine Wen flung his sleeves and walked out of the palace.
Rong'er looked at Imperial Concubine Wen in a daze, Xiao Qing walked up, "Master, this Imperial Concubine Wen did not come with good intentions!"
"Xiao Qing, are these really what I deserve?" Rong'er said bitterly.
"How can that be? Mistress, don't be anxious, I'll go find Gu Wenxing and have him tell the Emperor more about you. Mistress, the Emperor has you in his heart!" Xiao Qing said anxiously.
"No!" Rong'er coldly said, "Don't say it, never say it!"
"Master!" Xiao Qing called out anxiously.
"Xiao Qing, there are some things that I am destined to experience." In this period of time, many sisters in the harem have lost many of them in order to gain the favor of the Emperor., Li Anzhu, Empress Xiaozhao, as well as Ruo Lan, Yi Lu, Chang Le and Chang Le, they have also lost their lives due to filial piety, ah, that's right, it's been long enough, it's just that I've been blissful for too long. " Rong'er sighed lightly. "Starting tomorrow, I will be fasting for a month and going to the Buddhist hall to recite scriptures every day. I hope that I can become more peaceful."
"Mistress, please don't …" Xiao Qing had not finished speaking, Rong'er waved her hand lightly, interrupting her, "Don't say anymore, go and give your orders."
Seeing that Rong'er's heart was at its end, Xiao Qing agreed softly and left.
Rong'er walked over to the cabinet and gently opened it. The items inside were all gifted to her by the Emperor over the years. This small scepter was given to her when she went south to Jiangnan. This golden hairpin was the most refined ornament from the south that year. The treasures in this cabinet were already priceless. Over the past 20 years, Rong'er had only kept these treasures here. Occasionally, he would open them to look at his memories. Rong'er's face revealed a satisfied smile …
