Wang Zhixi felt that it was meaningless to meet with Wang Rong at that place who was neither soft nor hard. In just a few words, she had already returned to the West Branch Hall. Unlike the bustling atmosphere in the front hall, where Wang Zhixi lived in, it was very quiet.
Fangruo brought over a cup of tea to Wang Zhixi. The hatred she had towards her did not lessen in the slightest, but on the surface, she still looked as trusting and intimate as before.
"Now that I've fallen, you can follow me and suffer grievances. If there's anything else you need, you can go and climb on a high branch. I can't delay this either." Wang Zhixi took a sip of tea and said.
"Miss is truly ashamed of herself for saying that." Fangruo said, "The first reason I have to serve you through my Chuxiu Palace is because I have to serve you, one servant and two masters." who doesn't know how to speak pretty words? palace maid has never had the right to choose. Fangruo worked hard to think, and only fought for a moment.
"In the past, we used to have a lot of friends, but now, our relationship is like a horse riding on a horse. The heart is truly fickle and cold." Wang Zhixi said, "I have only been in the palace for a short period of time, I have truly tasted the joy of life."
"Young lady, don't be discouraged. With young lady's beauty, there are still many good days ahead." Fangruo said.
"Then we still need to meet His Imperial Majesty." Wang Zhixi sighed, "I wonder if I can meet His Majesty again in the future."
"Of course." Fangruo said, "Your Majesty didn't say that you won't see Miss again. Didn't the Empress Dowager Chen always like girls? If Your Majesty can't go anywhere else, the Titian Palace has to go? "
"Right, you've reminded me. I made a mark for the empress dowager's forehead, go get it." Wang Zhixi said.
"We've arrived at the back hall, and the people serving us aren't too familiar with us? Do you know of a young eunuch called Andersen? " Wang Zhixi unintentionally asked while embroidering the flower.
"Safe passage? There seems to be such a person. " Fangruo said, "He is still young, and was unable to snatch the other eunuchs, so he did not enter the hall to serve. Why does the girl think of him? "
"No, I've always been by big sister's side recently, and I noticed that this little eunuch is rather close to big sister's maid, Xi Tao." Wang Rong He said.
"In the past, Xi Tao did not say anything at Chuxiu Palace, but who would have known that her luck would be good enough to enter the eyes of a young lady like Rong." Fangruo said. When she turned around and looked, she actually revealed it silently. Although her majesty had said that she was ugly, that she was impolite to the imperial palace, and that she did not like to show her face, but the only person her majesty had commented on was her playing the zither. She had also given her two zithers, the one that was impolite to the imperial court, as well as a copy of the scripture called "Imperial Physician Xie" and later the golden hairpin that her majesty had bestowed upon her.
It was not a random gift from the inner court. It was obvious that the hairpin had been newly created.
"Then I recommend you to serve big sister? You talk too much, Xi Tao will not be your match. " Wang Zhixi said.
"Miss, this servant will tell Miss the truth. Miss should get along well with Rong and Lady. Just from the treatment of the imperial physician, I know that His Majesty's treatment is different from that of the young lady and the young lady by his side." Fangruo said, "Lady and Rong are Miss's sisters, naturally, they are closer than other people. Lady and Rong are closer, and in the future, when we meet, we will have more time to meet Your Majesty."
Fangruo accidentally pricked his own finger with a needle, causing blood to drip out quickly. Fangruo used a handkerchief to wrap his finger, "Miss, your servant's words are straightforward, although I don't know how His Majesty treats this lady with care, it is a fact that this lady's appearance is far inferior to Miss's. When Miss Rong and this lady appear together in front of the emperor, His Majesty will eventually find out that the lady is good."
"These words of yours are truly a good plan for me." Wang Zhixi laughed.
"This servant naturally wholeheartedly cares about the lady." Fangruo said.
Since Wang Zhixi had lived in the rear hall, she had also given her some silver to pave the way, so as to rope in the palace maid's eunuchs and put down her status to chat with the other Imperial Consort Candidate s. Because Wang Zhixi had always appeared in front of Wang Rong and others, the Imperial Consort Candidate in the back hall had always given her some face and talked with her. Wang Zhixi could speak, and speaking passionately with others would always make people happy, in an instant, it was as though she had become one with them, becoming one with them.
When Fangruo went to the front hall to retrieve Wang Zhixi's belongings, the Imperial Consort Candidate asked about Wang Zhixi's situation, "You ladies really know how to make a living wherever you go? "I see the view in the back hall is even greater than in the front."
"The front hall is led by Miss Zhou, the two of them can't help but compare, there is no manager in the back hall, the only person who is in charge is Wang Rong and Wang Zhixi's sister, if that's the case, wouldn't she be able to perform however she wants?" Another Imperial Consort Candidate said, "Anyway, big sister and big sister are always short, in the end, when the truth is revealed, they just leave others to blindly scheme on their own, no matter how sweet their words are, I don't believe it."
"That's enough, you have to thank her for not sharing her exclusive news with you. Otherwise, if all of her children suffer the wrath of His Majesty, wouldn't it be even worse?" The Imperial Consort Candidate comforted her.
The group of people covered their mouths and laughed until their flowers started trembling. Fangruo pretended not to hear as she lowered her head and packed up Wang Zhixi's things before she left the palace. Wang Zhixi asked the people at the front hall what they had said and without waiting for Fangruo's reply, she said again that there was no need.
"What nice words can someone as shallow as him say?" Wang Zhixi said harshly, "All of you are competing to be Zhou Yuting's pug, what future can you have?" She had completely forgotten that there had once been a fan of hers who had used her words as a constant command.
If it wasn't for Wang Rong and her personality of being easy to chat with, she would have only talked with Yang Jingru and Liu Jing all day long. Cui Rui was like Wang Rong and her punishment, and he gradually stopped moving closer to her.
Wang Rong He was also helpless towards this. "Do I look like such a petty person?"
Speaking of which, the matter of Liu Jing letting go of her hand and letting her sister fall was even more serious. Although Liu Jing felt guilty, she did not say that she was not willing to kiss her because of her guilt. Yang Jingru said indifferently. She probably wants others to know that her sister is a stingy person. "
"Forget it." Wang Rong smiled and said, "If I had a lot of people surrounding me, I wouldn't feel so comfortable."
"But your sister obviously likes the feeling of being surrounded." Yang Jingru said. She was a cold and detached person who did not like to talk. If Liu Jing was not there, she and Wang Rong would not have been able to talk much even if they had been sitting opposite each other the whole afternoon. Therefore, she and Wang Rong were a completely different group. On the other hand, Liu Jing was more lively, and her relationship with the other Imperial Consort Candidate was also good.
"I know what's going on." Liu Jing came over from the outside and sat beside Yang Jingru, then went and poured herself a cup of tea and drank it, "So it turns out that they were muttering, about that banquet, and said that big sister was stepping back in order to improve herself. Although big sister did not highlight out herself during the official performance, but in the end, only big sister performed an additional performance."
"The human heart." Yang Jingru sneered, "It's only been a few days, and I've already forgotten how grateful I was to elder sister for leading the program."
"Most people just go with the flow. I just don't know where it came from at the beginning." Liu Jing said.
"No need to ask." Wang Rong said, "Everyone already had the same idea. When His Majesty gave everyone some jewelry, I was the only one with a silver spoon in my mouth, and there was even someone who tried to comfort me. Those with soft hearts still wanted to give her jewelry to me, but now they say that it was His Majesty who gave me the gold hairpin."
"However, they forgot how sister's golden hairpin came about. Everyone wanted elder sister to go up and down thousands of pieces in the autumn, so they only got it after a day of self-reflection. They were all envious of the golden hairpin, so they went to the imperial court to try out the black room." Yang Jingru said.
"Why are you so excited?" Wang Rong couldn't help but laugh as he said, "It's not something worth getting angry over."
"Elder sister's temper is just too good." Yang Jingru said.
"I said that you two are too calm and unfriendly. If you don't say enough, then your heart will be far away." Liu Jing said.
"I disdain being intimate with such foolish people." Yang Jingru said.
She said that she was tired and weak, but in reality, she had secretly followed him to the Gonghou Garden. She had initially wanted to ask Fangruo if there was anyone behind An Du, but she already did not trust Fangruo, so even if Fangruo had asked around, she would not completely believe him.
He could only rely on himself to see and think.
Wang Ronghe still went up to the Embroidery Mountain. Today's tune was somewhat sad and cold, causing a chill to run through his heart. Wang Zhixi bit her lips. She would never know what Wang Rong was thinking in her heart.
After Wang Rong and she finished playing her song, they went back down the mountain to return to the Chuxiu Palace. Xi Tao stood outside with the zither case in her hands, "I've never seen anyone who likes to work on the mountain more than me."
"Everyday, you either sit or lie down. People become more and more dispirited. Walking and climbing mountains, people are still mentally ill, yet it is still easy for them to get sick." Wang Rong He said.
After Wang Rong She left, Wang Zhixi stayed in that spot for a while, and almost thought that she was overthinking things and was sickly. How could Wang Rong get involved with His Majesty? She wouldn't step out of the Chuxiu Palace door until she was out.
Just as he was thinking about himself, there was a sound coming from the rest house, Wang Rong and the others dodged to the fake mountain behind, and then saw the Emperor coming out from the rest house, but did not call for a chariot. Instead, he brought the four of them and left the Gonghou Garden without too much of a commotion.
"Let the chandelier make a smile and send it over. The sun is so bright, what song is it playing?" Zhu Yijun said.
"Yes." Zhang Cheng lowered his head and said.
Wang Zhixi's entire body was trembling. If she had not used her throne, no one would be able to be sure of when she had come, when she had left, or if she had not come with Gonghou Garden.
Although Wang Rong and Zhu Yijun did not meet, who was Wang Rong trying to play the zither at a fixed time? He had never seen her like this before.
Wang Zhixi muddle-headedly walked towards the Chuxiu Palace, and after sitting for a while, she went back to Wang Zhixi's place. Yang Jingru had been pinching the snacks and smiling at Wang Rong, but upon seeing Wang Zhixi enter, she stopped laughing, and looked at the snacks on the plate.
"Where did this snack come from?" Wang Zhixi forced out an ugly smile and asked.
"Every Imperial Consort Candidate has a list of snacks every day. Don't you have them?" Wang Rong asked.
"There's no such thing as a snack. This isn't the time." Wang Zhixi said.
"I usually want to eat some snacks at a time like this, so I didn't pick if the Shang Dai Division had anything to offer." Wang Rong He said.
"Maybe there are people who are worried about elder sister and specially picked out snacks for elder sister." Wang Zhixi said.
"It's not some expensive snack? If you want to eat and laugh, do you need anyone else to remember you? " Yang Jingru asked.
Wang Zhixi didn't have much to say before sshe returned to the hall with a headache. After returning, he wordlessly climbed onto the bed and covered her head with the blanket.
She couldn't accept it. She couldn't accept it. What had Wang Rong done? Why did she have such a tacit understanding with His Majesty? In the future, when both of them reached a higher position, would she be able to remain in the harem forever? How could she be willing to accept this?
How could her mother be willing?
