Rong'er thought to himself: Seeing that the King has agreed to be pampered by the Emperor, I know that I am the only one in the Palace who cannot complain at all. Did she think I should cry? Actually, it's not that my heart doesn't hurt, but I'm learning to be gentle to face it...
Before dinner, Rong'er returned to the palace from the buddhist hall, and just as he entered, Su Ya said, "Master, Chengqian Palace has sent a message, the king has agreed to give birth to a new pregnancy."
Xiao Qing was currently attending to Rong'er changing clothes. Rong'er paused for a bit, lightly nodded his head, and then continued with his hand movements.
After Xiao Qing helped Rong'er dress up, he sighed lightly, "I never thought that a Chinese woman would be so doted on by the emperor. Yesterday, I met Yonghe Palace's aunt, Xiu Ping, and she said that the emperor would visit her less and less often.
Rong'er, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up. "There aren't any Chinese women or flag-bearers in our palace. There are only the emperor's women. It's better to speak less of such things in the future."
"Imperial Concubine Wen has arrived!" A clamor sounded out at the entrance of the palace. Rong'er lightly sighed and led the palace maid to respectfully welcome them. These days, the Imperial Concubine Wen had especially enjoyed visiting her, a remote Yanxi Palace.
"This concubine greets Imperial Concubine Wen!" Rong'er bowed.
Imperial Concubine Wen laughed lightly, then said happily, "Imperial Concubine Rong, I have come to share with you the joyous news of the King's promise to give birth to a new dragon."
Rong'er's expression didn't change when she heard that, and said lightly, "That's right, the king promised to give birth to another dragon, that's worth celebrating."
"Is that so? Is Imperial Concubine Rong really thinking this way? " Imperial Concubine Wen raised his voice.
"Imperial Concubine Wen, chenqie has always regarded herself as respecting you, but in the past few days, you have often come here to talk to chenqie about this, what is the purpose of this coming? Are you making chenqie feel uncomfortable? "Fine, chenqie will tell you that chenqie's heart is in pain, is that alright?"
"Humph!" Imperial Concubine Rong, I call you elder sister, but I am the most respected person in this palace. Don't forget this point, look at your current tone, do you respect me? " Imperial Concubine Wen shouted.
Rong'er heaved a long sigh. She realized that she had lost her composure, and she calmed her heart before softly saying, "It's unreasonable to forgive your concubines."
"Reporting to Imperial Concubine Wen, Imperial Concubine Rong, Imperial Concubine Ping has caught a cold, and suddenly has a fever. Everyone is anxious, we wish to invite Imperial Concubine Rong over to take a look." A eunuch from Yikun Palace came in and reported.
"Is Lupin ill?" Rong'er hurriedly asked, turning around to look at Imperial Concubine Wen, "The Emperor has ordered for chenqie to take care of Jia Ping, chenqie has to go to Yikun Palace, chenqie will take her leave first."
The expression on Imperial Concubine Wen's face changed slightly as he nodded his head.
Rong'er looked at Imperial Concubine Wen and said softly, "I believe that Imperial Concubine Wen has naturally heard of the things that Jia Ping often says? "Chenqie hopes that all of this is just Jia Ping's nonsense."
Imperial Concubine Wen's face changed drastically as he looked at Rong'er angrily, "Imperial Concubine Rong, what do you mean by this? Do you think it was my fault? Can she believe what a crazy person like her said? Isn't it just because I had some conflict with her that I can falsely accuse her? "
Seeing Imperial Concubine Wen's sudden change in expression, Rong'er lightly said, "Imperial Concubine Wen, do not be agitated.
Rong'er turned and left. Imperial Concubine Wen looked at Rong'er's calm and collected back, a fierce look in her eyes. What does Imperial Concubine Rong mean by this? Was she asking for a narrow palace? How much did she know? She was actually so disrespectful to an imperial concubine like her. She couldn't tolerate it! Imperial Concubine Wen's heart became very, very chaotic.
At this time, Rong'er's heart was not at ease either. She had never believed Jia Ping's words, and today, she had blurted them out in anger. However, Imperial Concubine Wen's reaction was too abnormal, causing her to be suspicious.
"Elder sister, it's me, Ping'er. Can we enter the palace together as concubines in the future?" said Jia Ping happily, looking at Rong'er.
"Alright, Ping'er will be the emperor's concubine in the future." Rong'er caressed Jia Ping's hair sorrowfully.
"Yes, that's right. There is a concubine called Imperial Concubine Wen that is not good or bad. If she wants to harm us, we must be careful!" Jiapin said to Rong'er mysteriously.
"Come on, Jiuping, be good and eat the medicine first." In the past two years, she had taken care of Jia Ping, but in reality, it was more like taking care of her daughter. When Jia Ping did not have any illnesses, he was just like a child, but when he got sick he was also crazy and needed someone to comfort him.
Jia Ping obediently took the medicine, then suddenly picked up his pillow and said to Rong'er, "Sister, did you see that? This is my child, the child of the Emperor and me. It's the prince, look at how beautiful he is, right? "
"Yes!" Rong'er smiled and nodded, turning to look at the palace maid, "Zi Yin, it's getting colder and colder, the fire in the palace can be started, and now that Jia Ping has caught a cold, the room must be warmer."
Zi Yin lowered her head and said softly, "Our charcoal Ministry of Internal Affairs has yet to arrive."
"It hasn't been delivered yet? "Why?" Rong'er asked puzzledly, "Didn't they already prepare it a few days ago, so it should be delivered to the various palaces at the latest today?"
"Yes …" This is how it should be, but today, the Ministry of Internal Affairs s said that the King had agreed to have Dragon Heel, and the Emperor instructed him to take care of the Chengqian Palace, so … That's why they sent our palace's first to the Chengqian Palace. The Ministry of Internal Affairs said that the amount of charcoal in this batch is limited, and a new batch will be delivered to the palace about a week later. It will be delivered. " Zi Yin said with a wronged expression.
"What?" Rong'er was furious. Just as she was about to explode in anger, she suddenly thought, that's right, did the emperor give her this kind of care in the past? He calmed himself down and turned to Xiao Qing, "Xiao Qing, today, you shall ask the eunuchs of the Yanxi Palace to bring all the charcoal from our palace to the Yikun Palace."
"Yes sir!" Xiao Qing knew that his master's temper had told him this.
"Thank you, Lord Rong. Then, Master, what should we do?" Zi Yin asked anxiously.
"I have my ways. Today, I will have the palace people burn up the warm brick bed. Jia Ping is sick, you all have to take good care of him." Rong'er smiled as he instructed softly.
"Yes, I will do my best." Zi Yin hurriedly replied.
"Oh, is there such a thing?" Imperial Concubine Wen looked at palace maid Su Dayu and said hesitantly, "Imperial Concubine Rong is quite kind to Jia Ping! Or perhaps, she really did not intend to make big sister resent her. "
"Mistress, could it be that you have a hidden motive? Imperial Concubine Rong is an undependable, clothed palace maid who has walked step by step into today's Imperial Concubine. Do you really think that she relied on her kindness to win the emperor's favor? If that was really the case, how could Empress Xiaozhao die? Isn't the Imperial Concubine Hui in the palace kind? But did she receive the Emperor's special favor? " Su Dayu said excitedly, "Master, today in Yanxi Palace, Imperial Concubine Rong suddenly asked you, is she investigating you? Will she harm you? "
The Imperial Concubine Wen suddenly nodded in fear, "That's right, why would she ask me that? I'm not the one who killed Yin, and I'm not the one who caused Jiuping's madness. It's not me, it's not me! Did she want to harm me? Su Dayu, is she trying to harm me? "
"Master, it's exactly because Imperial Concubine Rong looks kind that makes it even harder to see through you. Master, we have to strike first to gain the upper hand!" Su Dayu raised his voice.
The Imperial Concubine Wen nodded his head lightly and suddenly asked, "Oh yeah, today I asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to bring the charcoal for Jia Ping over to Wang Tong's place. It was done in a very dangerous manner, it wouldn't be good if the Emperor knew about it."
"Mistress, it won't matter. You just need to continue to give your promise to the King, and everything will be fine." Su Dayu gently laughed.
The Imperial Concubine Wen nodded his head lightly, "Su Dayu, you are right.
"Mistress, we must avenge the Empress Xiaozhao, we cannot let the Imperial Concubine Rong get away with it!" Su Dayu's eyes shone with a determined light.
Imperial Concubine Wen looked at Su Dayu, and asked coldly, "Su Dayu, why do I feel that you have a deep enmity towards Imperial Concubine Rong? In the past, when we investigated the cause of death of big sister, you showed more concern than I did! "
"Mistress, you're overthinking it. I'm just doing my job." Su Dayu replied with a smile.
Outside the window, at the same time, a black figure was sticking closely to the window, listening to the conversation of the people inside.
