"His Majesty went to the Gonghou Garden?" Empress Dowager Li asked.

"Yes." palace maid said as she lowered her hand. However, His Majesty did not meet the Imperial Consort Candidate directly. It seems that he had left by a different route the moment he saw the Imperial Consort Candidate. "

"Let's go to the Palace of Tzu Ning. I wish to discuss this with my sister. It's time to meet with the Imperial Consort Candidate." The Empress Dowager Li said.

Wang Zhixi said she wanted to come and stay with Wang Rong, and Wang Rong wanted to meet her. In the past, Wang Zhixi had never been so sticky with her, "Then what about the Miss Liu that you promised?"

Wang Zhixi held onto the handkerchief, "It's best if elder sister can bring me both into the main hall. If that's not possible, then Mu Lan has already spoken to me about it. She knows that I'm afraid. She came from a peasant family, so she wasn't that scared. "

"Aren't you going to tell your aunt about it?" Wang Rong He said. Do you want me to help you talk about moving into the front hall?

"Elder sister." Wang Zhixi's eyes immediately reddened.

"Alright, I'll go speak. You don't need to make such a face." Wang Rong He said that at home, Wang Zhixi's tricks were actually useless against her. Although she didn't have the ability to cry like Wang Zhixi had said, she still hid a handkerchief inside her sleeves, covering her face and rubbing her eyes, pretending to be pitiful. Wasn't it just repeating that it was my fault, who wouldn't?

After Wang Zhixi left, Wang Rong didn't need to personally go find his aunt, so he called Xi Tao over, "My sister is afraid to live in the back hall, and would like to stay in the front hall.

"All of the young ladies in the rear hall want to live in the front hall now. My aunt is getting annoyed." Xi Tao said.

"Then tell me, I'll trade with my sister. She'll go to the front hall. I'll go to the back hall. A radish for a hole. Aunty has nothing to worry about." Wang Rong He said.

"But young lady, everyone hates having bad luck at the back of the palace. Why are you still going to the back?" Xi Tao asked.

"It's not like he's really a ghost, where did he get such bad luck from?" "Besides, I'm doing it now. It's quiet in the rear of the palace." Wang Rong said with a smile.

"When you go ask Auntie, ask on my behalf as well." Yang Jingru said, "Don't your sister have a companion? Let the two of them live together."

"I will also go to the back of the palace to seek some peace and quiet." Yang Jingru laughed, "It wasn't easy to get used to a hairpin technique, what if you are not here anymore?"

Wang Rong smiled, a hint of sincerity in her smile.

Wang Rong and Yang Jingru had moved into the rear hall, and Wang Zhixi and Liu Mulan had moved into the front hall. Wang Zhixi's entire body was trembling as she looked at Wang Rong and Yang Jingru, "Big sister, I have never thought of exchanging with you, I just want to squeeze with you." Wang Rong had exchanged bedchamber with her, so if those who knew better were able to exchange for worse, wouldn't that just help her reputation? What if my aunt thinks she's cute? It was simply not worth it.

"It's okay, you're scared. I'm not afraid. " Wang Rong He said, "You and Lady Liu can stay together. I have already agreed to have you two stay in the same room, next to each other's bunks."

"Sister Wang, I'm not afraid either. Otherwise, you and Zhixi can live together in the front hall." Liu Mulan said.

"Jing Ru only moved to the back hall because of me. If I let her stay in the front hall by myself, wouldn't that be disloyal?" Wang Rong He said, "Don't say anymore, hurry up and move or Palace Manager's aunt will come over to ask what happened."

It wasn't until they were settled in the front hall that Liu Mulan finally spoke to Wang Zhixi, "Your sister might have a bad mouth or she might not know how to get close to you, but she's still a good person. At a time like this, she's still willing to exchange rooms with you, and even I thought about it.

Wang Zhixi nodded with red eyes, "That's why I feel so bad. If I knew earlier that I had to move out because I lived here, I wouldn't have said those words."

Since you're here, you can rest easy." Otherwise, Auntie will get angry. "" No, no. Liu Mulan said.

It wasn't as full as all the rooms in the front hall. There were only two people in each room in the back hall. Wang Rongzhi stood in the middle and took a deep breath, feeling that the air was a little fresher.

"The more people in front, the more dizzy they get listening to. It's not bad at the back of the hall." Yang Jingru also spoke his heart.

Originally, there were seven people serving in one hall, but now that the people in the rear hall weren't satisfied, the palace maid had gone to the front hall to serve them. There were two palace maid s and two eunuchs serving them in the back hall, and there were only three palace maid s and two eunuchs serving them in the main hall. Xi Tao followed him from the front hall to the back hall. Wang Rong smiled and said, the front hall had more people now, so no matter how many palace maid s there were, they would not be able to command them.

Xi Tao pursed her lips and smiled. She liked Miss Wang, ever since Miss Wang praised her that she had a good name, and since Miss Wang was easy to serve, she was happy to serve her. Furthermore, she had not used up all the silver Miss Wang had given her.

There was a light tap outside the window, and a young eunuch poked his head out. He smiled at Wang Rong and said, "My regards to young lady, this young one's name is Anshun, you can call me whatever young lady wants."

Afraid or not, he said that it was Eunuch Zhang who told me to listen to his lady's orders.

Seeing that he was only twelve or thirteen years old and still half a child, Wang Rong felt her heart soften as she took out three silver beans from her purse and gave them to him. Here, I'll buy you some sugar to eat. "

"Thank you for your reward, Miss." Brother Zhang had said that the master wanted to use you to reward you with silver.

The next day, a painter came to paint a portrait of the Imperial Consort Candidate, everyone had heard of Wang Zhaojun's story, the biggest purse was definitely prepared to give to the painter. While the painter was painting another Imperial Consort Candidate, Wang Rong and the painter of the goatee turned around and glared at Wang Rong, as if he was afraid that she would steal the painter's painting.

Wang Rong decided to save her purse.

Black and white lines of the same oval face, only said the appearance does not state the details, the pay bag is not much better.

In the evening, Aunt Cui came to announce that the empress dowager was due to meet the empress dowager tomorrow with a group of twenty. Aunt Cui looked at the names of the people at the back of the palace and asked, "How did this Wang Rong guy end up in the back?" She was none other than the aunt who gave Wang Rong and the final examination. She normally did not appear at Chuxiu Palace but would only appear when there was a scolding or major incident. The other aunt was in charge of the Chuxiu Palace.

"Today, she changed her bedchamber with her sister Wang Zhixi, and then used the Ranking Tournament to go to the back." "Aunt said." Is there something wrong with that? "

"Nothing." Aunt Cui shook her head as she thought about the first time they had met. She had nothing to do back and forth, and it would attract her attention instead.

The Imperial Consort Candidate s of the rear hall were discussing animatedly. Esteemed Empress Dowager will definitely be in good spirits in the morning. When afternoon comes, it will be our turn, and we will definitely end up being hasty. Indeed, we have to move to the front hall at all costs. "

"Not necessarily." Wang Rong He said, "Think about it, when you go to see the empress dowager in the morning, you'll definitely be nervous. But if you go again in the afternoon, you'll definitely have to keep a steady mind and behave more appropriately."

"If aunty were to tell you to prepare for the meeting with the empress dowager tomorrow morning, would you still be able to fall asleep tonight and have the energy to do so tomorrow morning?" Wang Rong said with a smile on her face to make the others calm down as well.

"You want to meet the empress dowager? Aren't you nervous?" someone asked.

"I'm so nervous, can I not see that?" Wang Rong He said.

No matter how much turmoil she had over her heart, her face was still as calm as still water. How much authority a little girl had, if she acted like she lived in a city, then it would be possible for her to have a good night of sleep. She would wake up early and eat breakfast again, then sit quietly in her room.

Like Sister Wang said, could he still not see her?

The Chuxiu Palace is quite a distance away from the Palace, with the Aunty leading the way, and all the Imperial Consort Candidate s who are following behind in two rows after the Empress Dowager in the afternoon. Aunt turned around and stressed, "The person the ladies are going to meet is the most honorable woman in the world. If you walk in front of the palace, you cannot raise your head, you cannot raise your chest, your eyes, your nose, your mouth and your heart.

"Thank you for your teachings, Aunt." The Imperial Consort Candidate shouted in unison.

After walking along the long palace wall for half an hour, Wang Rong He heard the sound of unstable breathing coming from behind him. After walking for half an hour, after walking along the long palace wall, Wang Rong He heard the sound of unstable breathing coming from behind him.

There were quite a few people with small feet wrapped in the queue. No one had supported them for such a long distance. Step by step, they stepped on the sword's tip and felt pain in their hearts. When they heard their aunt say that they could rest, they all let out a sigh of relief.

"Adjust your breathing," my aunt said. She was thinking that there might be some great fortune in this, so she was a bit more polite. As she walked in front, she heard the sound of breathing coming and going behind her.

Wang Rong swore with all her heart that she heard the choking sound of the whole king behind her. Although it was a bit inappropriate, she wanted to laugh.

This was the first time the Imperial Consort Candidate met the empress dowager, with twenty people in a group entering the Tzu Ning Palace. The empress dowager sat on top of the empress dowager's seat, the Imperial Consort Candidate knelt down, and then recounted her name, age, and place of origin. If the empress dowager was interested, she would pick someone to ask. If they didn't talk, each of them would reward them with a palace made of red silk.

After walking for about two hours, they finally left the palace. However, no one felt that something was amiss as they waited for a quarter of an hour inside. On the way back, Wang Rong raised his head to look at the blue sky that was framed by the long palace path.

In the palace, every day, he felt how lowly the lives of those at the bottom were.

Aunt listened attentively for a while, then raised her hand to indicate them to stop. "All of you take a step back against the wall to let the Imperial Lower Consort Guo's palanquin stand in front of them."

The Imperial Consort Candidate stood against the wall with their heads lowered. After the clanging sound, four eunuchs led the way, four of them carried a palanquin, and four more palace maid stood by each side. Behind them were two eunuchs standing in a majestic pose. Half of the sedan chair was covered with a veil, while the surroundings were hung with bells and jingles. The fragrance of the carriage assailed people's nostrils. The people sitting inside could only see their slim figures and not their facial features.

When the palanquin passed by Imperial Consort Candidate, it stopped, and the Imperial Lower Consort Guo said to her aunt, "Is this the Imperial Consort Candidate? I don't see much of a beauty, do I? " Her voice was both tender and soft, as if it could sink into a person's heart and roll around, but the words she said were not very pleasant to the ears.

"You've all learned the rules. Since you can no longer serve others with your sex, then learn from the virtuous and virtuous." Imperial Lower Consort Guo chuckled, she waved her hand and the palanquin continued to move forward.

Imperial Consort Candidate's mind was in a mess, her aunt did not say anything else and walked straight away. It didn't matter if Imperial Lower Consort Guo came over to scout or to demonstrate her strength, as a palace maid, she was not someone to be trifled with. As for whether the Imperial Consort Candidate s were shocked or secretly unconvinced, that was also their nature.

Returning to the Chuxiu Palace, everyone walked around to ask if there was anyone that received the empress dowager's favor today, and to discuss the origins of the Imperial Lower Consort Guo today. The people who went to visit in the morning had never seen the Imperial Lower Consort Guo before, and upon hearing that, they hurriedly participated in the discussion for more details. However, this kind of busyness had nothing to do with Wang Rong. She leaned back in her chair and held her head up to soak her feet. She looked tired. Yang Jingru leaned on the table and asked.

"I can relieve myself, but I can sleep more peacefully at night." Wang Rong He said. A pair of white feet was immersed in a brass basin, and the water afterwards had a faint medicinal smell. Xi Tao said that she had asked for it from Shang Yao Bureau, "This servant has asked a medicine girl, this is the best medicine powder to relieve stress and calm one." Wang Rong and the Young Master had to ask if silver was enough for them, Xi Tao laughed and said, using silver in the palace was not as expensive as the young lady thought.

Yang Jingru looked at her feet, it were a pair of pure white and cute little feet, with the backs of the feet, the bows of the feet, the toes of the feet, they were naturally extended and extended. At this moment, they were soaked in hot water, the tips of her fingers were shining like pearls, "Your feet are really beautiful."

"Hmm?" She unconsciously looked at Yang Jingru's feet, her skirt covering her legs so she couldn't see them clearly, but Wang Rong thought back to when Yang Jingru had placed her shoes on the side of the bed earlier.

"The Three-Inch Golden Lotus looks pretty, but my foot is made of coarse benzene. "My mother went early. My family loved me and refused to wrap their legs around me after crying for so long, so they left with me." Of course, in her heart, she felt that there was nothing to look at. It was purely the perverted beauty of a man, yet it caused a woman to suffer for the rest of her life. However, the main point of view was that Jin Lian looked pretty. Wang Rong and herself were heaven's feet. Since then, only the small feet would mock the big feet. No big feet would teach the small feet.

"You don't think your feet are ugly, do you?" Yang Jingru said, "You are not the only one in the Imperial Consort Candidate who has not had your feet wrapped up, but have you ever seen someone who has their feet soaked in water every day other than you?"

Wang Rong and looked at her.

"Our little feet will never show our feet in front of others. The other heaven's feet feel that they have not covered their feet yet, so they are a bit ashamed and unwilling to show their feet in front of everyone for fear of being mocked. Only you have to soak your feet in hot water every day. " Yang Jingru said.

"Did I offend you?" Wang Rong asked.

Yang Jingru shook her head, she looked at Wang Rong He's feet, "I'm jealous of you, your feet are so beautiful."

"In the future, I will definitely have a daughter, I definitely won't let her wrap her feet." Yang Jingru said. The girl with small feet marries an Elementary Scholar while the girl with big feet marries a servant. The hard work of farming makes her uncomfortable. It is said that the emperor's daughter does not have to worry about marrying. Even if she has two heaven's feet, she would still be able to live a comfortable life in luxury. "
