More than twenty geniuses and beauties, and more than thirty candidates, stood around Cheng Rui Pavilion, watching as the emperor and his second wife chatted merrily without being able to interrupt them. When the emperor and the imperial concubine sat down in the pavilion, not a single glance swept over their surroundings. All of them were biting their lower lip, but were unable to do anything about it.

Zhou Yuting was the only one who went to the side of the emperor and empress to do maid matters. The others could not hold a grudge against the high ranking concubine, but Zhou Yuting was exceptionally eye-catching. A small selection was truly shameful, she felt that she had fallen, in order to attract the attention of the emperor.

Zhou Yuting did not mind the gazes that seemed to congeal on her back at all. She said that it was the runner-up, and how could it be stronger than that of the palace maid.

Wang Rong Wen tilted his head and looked at her. Zhou Yuting was very natural, as if she was a palace maid. Zhu Yijun also saw Zhou Yuting under her gaze and said to Wang Rong Wen, "Isn't she?"

"Right now, it's his Majesty's selection." Wang Rong He said, "How is it?"

Zhu Yijun looked at Zhou Yuting, but Zhou Yuting did not become bashful because of it. She held a bottle in her hand and poured Zhu Yijun another cup of wine, and when Zhu Yijun saw her beautiful and jade-like fingers, he said, "I can't tell that these hands were used in Clothes Washing Bureau."

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this servant has arrived at Clothes Washing Bureau. Because of the good embroidery, this servant's aunt told me to sew it up on a full-time basis, and did not go into the water." Zhou Yuting replied.

"Are you feeling wronged?" Zhu Yijun asked. I remember that in the beginning, Mother liked you a lot and often saw you at the Palace. Afterwards, you became a sinner, went to the Clothes Washing Bureau, and then returned to the Palace.

"To be able to see her heavenly beauty and serve His Majesty is already a great gift. This servant is already satisfied." Zhou Yuting said.

Zhu Yijun nodded and continued to sing and dance. When Imperial Consort Guo saw Zhu Yijun turn his head to look at him, he couldn't tell if he was talking to the Queen or Zhou Yuting. If anyone in the imperial palace hated Zhou Yuting to the bones, it would be Imperial Consort Guo, after all, she had capsized on Zhou Yuting.

If she had any sort of relationship with Zhou Yuting, then forget about it. However, regarding Zhou Yuting, the Imperial Consort Guo did nothing. She thought that since Zhou Yuting had acted so arrogantly and brainlessly, she would dig her own grave.

Imperial Consort Guo had long wanted to get rid of her, but she didn't have the time to do so as a pampered servant. Today, she saw that as a lowly assistant, she actually dared to flatter His Majesty in front of him. Imperial Consort Guo bit her teeth painfully as her smiling face attracted his attention.

But in the end, Zhu Yijun still brought Zhou Yuting back to the Qianqing Palace. Wang Rong withdrew from the feast, sat on the chariot and returned to the palace.

Zhu Yijun returned to the palace and waved his hand for Zhou Yuting to prepare. He then wrote a letter and told Zhang Cheng to send it to. Zhang Cheng lowered his hand. "Empress, His Majesty wrote a letter to the Empress."

Wang Rong smiled. "His Majesty is here, why are you in such a hurry to write to me? Is there something urgent?"

Wang Rong and the letter, open them up and look at Zhu Yijun's writing, why do I feel that Zitong has arranged a banquet to watch the singing and dancing below, and see what is happening above?

Wang Rong couldn't help but giggle as she raised her brush and replied, "His Majesty is from the imperial harem, so it's only right that I look at him every day. Why does His Majesty need to mind this?"

Zhu Yijun replied without knowing whether to laugh or cry, "The Queen is flirting with us."

Zhang Cheng smiled apologetically, "Your Majesty just likes the Empress to be like this."

Zhu Yijun was fortunate to be Zhou Yuting at the Qianqing Palace, but he had helped Yu Ting Er.

The grade wasn't high, but they did have a title. Furthermore, there were only a few people that were given the title after being pampered.

Wang Zhixi went to the Kunning Palace s, and when Wang Rong saw her, Wang Zhixi immediately knelt down. "Elder sister."

"Get up and speak." Wang Rong He said.

"Why does big sister want to help Zhou Yuting get favoured?" Wang Zhixi asked.

"I didn't get her favor." Wang Rong smiled and said, "I've already said that I won't help anyone from the harem if they want to. Everyone just needs to rely on their own abilities, as long as we follow the rules."

"If it wasn't for elder sister's reminder, His Majesty wouldn't have noticed that the palace maid that was serving them had changed." Wang Zhixi said. She was right behind him, and she could see her clearly. Because Wang Rong She had always paid attention to Zhou Yuting, when the emperor saw that she was distracted, he followed her.

"Beauty Wang, are you questioning me right now?" Wang Rong asked.

"I dare not." Wang Zhixi said, but because there were too many grievances in her heart, she started to cry, "But why is it her? Elder sister, how much suffering have I suffered at her hands? How many times has big sister suffered from her sarcastic remarks?

"I really forgot what she did to me." Wang Rong He said, "After all, it's just some rumors. If it's like this, I'm already used to hearing it since I was young, so I don't think it's anything special."

"It's you." Wang Rong said with a smile, "You used my name to invite Your Majesty to meet me at Gonghou Garden. I knelt for an entire twenty-four hours at the Jiaotai Palace, but my knees were severely injured and I was unable to make it on the journey.

"The pain of having your body cut off, little sister. At that time, you were overjoyed by the emperor for being a beauty. Have you ever thought about the pain of your sister kneeling down and copying books?" Wang Rong He said, "Compared to Jade Beauty offending me with her words, isn't little sister's fault even more important for me to remember?"

Wang Zhixi was shocked and cried out on the ground, "Elder sister, little sister knows that I was wrong. "Little sister was wrong, little sister was really ill at that time, it was because of my temper that I did such a thing." Wang Zhixi kneeled in front of Wang Rong and hugged her thighs.

"Get up and reply." Wang Rong He said.

Wang Zhixi was helped up while crying, and sat on the back chair, "Bring some hot water to help the Beauty Wang tidy up." Wang Rong She said.

The palace maid entered one by one and helped her redo her makeup. Wang Rong looked at her and asked, "Have you calmed down?"

"Empress, this concubine is lacking in manners." Wang Zhixi lowered her head and said.

"You're still asking me, why is it Zhou Yuting?" Wang Rong asked.

"Let's not ask anymore." Wang Zhixi said, "The Empress's intention is to support whoever she likes. This is not something I can speculate about."

"What you said is right. For father's sake, I will not do anything to you. Instead, I will let you live a good life in the imperial harem. But you have to be good too, you know? "

"I know." Wang Zhixi said as she dropped her hands.

"Every time the family members of the Duke Yongnian Palace enter the palace, I let you come. I know mother misses you, and you miss mother as well." Wang Rong He said, "This is your fortune, and your own mother is worried about it, so I don't have this blessing."

"My concubine is terrified. Mother has never had a bowl of water that was level, causing the Empress to feel wronged." Wang Zhixi said in a low voice.

"I don't blame her." Wang Rong smiled and said, "Do you think I hate her? Or hate you? "

"Your concubine is terrified." Wang Zhixi said.

"When I was young and insensible, I hated it. Before the wedding, I hated it as well, because if it wasn't your mother, she wouldn't have died." Wang Rong said that Wuyou knew of the situation and let everyone leave, leaving her and Wulv to wait upon them in the hall.

If my mother hadn't died, my parents would have loved me, my family had three brothers, and I would be the happiest woman in the world. My father wouldn't have gone to the capital and spent his life in Yu Yao, and he wouldn't have married into the palace." She was aware that her mother had chosen to die with a smile on her face. She knew that her father had been found out when her mother had secretly colluded with the pirates, that her father had been caught red-handed, that a little wife who adored him had followed him, that the little girl's family had appeared in front of her father and asked him to divorce her son. He was trying to find a way, but he did not know, that the little girl had secretly found her mother, who was about to get pregnant, and told her that her father would not allow her to marry him, not to mention her father's name.

Her mother loved his father dearly, so she made up her mind right before the beginning of the day. With the end of her life, his father would no longer be difficult for her. She had given birth to such a difficult daughter, the daughter she yearned for. From the moment her daughter landed on the ground, she refused to let go of her embrace. Her tears fell on her face, but she smiled and drank the medicine to make herself die of exhaustion.

She loved her father more than her children.

Wang Rong He closed his eyes. Part of it was what she'd been born to know, part of it was what her grandmother had told her before her wedding, to piece together a whole story. At that time, she only knew that his father was in trouble and that he had to marry a little girl in order to get out, but his father stubbornly refused to comply and even made the decision to send everyone to escape. Mother did not want his father to be troubled, so she gladly went to her death.

Even though she was beautiful, she had a high opinion of her own affairs. Seeing that the Wang Family was flourishing, and your father was a genius, she had promised her that she would only follow his father and think of being a hero to save a beauty, a wife and concubine. She did not expect that she would unintentionally meet him and want to be his wife.

She was smart. Although it was a clue she found, she told his father to tell him that she was completely innocent. It was her father who pitied her daughter for not being able to find a good home with her worthless father. Your father was going to use the money.

But your mother was too decisive. "But I have to admit that at that time, only if your mother's decision was right, can we live without any troubles. We can only pity you and your father."

"How did Grandmother know?" Wang Rong asked.

However, your father didn't tell the family anything. He only said that he met with some trouble, and then your mother died, and your father clearly couldn't help but follow behind me in grief. Yet, one month later, he still welcomed the Lady Cui in. And then there was no trouble. I knew there was a problem, but I never got the chance. " "So when the whole family moved to the capital, I tortured the girl."

"Dad, do you know?" Wang Rong He said.

"He doesn't know." "Otherwise, why would he marry a Lady Cui to a house?"

"Grandmother didn't tell him?" Wang Rong asked.

"When I found out about all of this, that Lady Cui already had two daughters, your father would have long been disheartened. If Lady Cui died, your family would no longer have a mistress. At that time, none of the six children of your family were ever married to your elder brother. " Grandmother said, "I didn't dare to say it then, and I don't dare to say it now. If the Empress had a father who killed his wife, how would she behave? "

She didn't know who to blame. When Lady Cui went to see her mother, she had only placed all the possibilities in front of her. She only wanted her mother to ask for an audience or give in voluntarily to her, so she could bear to have her mother stay by his father's side. But the mother herself had made the decision to die, and was so perfect that his father did not suspect it. I thought that I would bring it to the coffin, but I didn't want to, after I go, Lady Cui will use her mother's identity to suppress you, to restrain you, the Empress knows this secret, if Lady Cui is too excessive, I will tell her, she won't dare to speak anymore. "

"Was Lady Cui really pregnant then?" Wang Rong asked.

"It's fake." Grandmother said, "Even if it's a bridal room, it's only possible if the Lady Cui uses medicine. Therefore, Zhixi is a premature baby, born seven months later, and because she was born early, there are many people who suspect that she was pregnant right before the gate."

Wang Rong He opened his eyes, looked at the terrified Wang Zhixi, and stopped talking about all these. Wang Zhixi had always listened to her mother, and hated her father for not forgetting her wife. She was extremely cold to his mother, and if she were to know of these past, then she might not be able to endure the pain and go crazy, and die. She did not want her first life to come from her own sister.

"But there are no 'ifs'. My mother died a long time ago and her corpse was buried by the sea. I married into the imperial family and became the master of the imperial harem."

"You can go." Wang Rong He said. "You and I have some feelings for each other, so you should think about it yourself. If you want to use it on the blade, don't waste it. If something happens, even dad's face won't be able to save you."

"I saved it." Wang Zhixi bowed and then left.

After coming out from the Kunning Palace, she felt cold sweat trickling down her back. In that moment just now, Wang Rong was suddenly extremely terrifying, Wang Zhixi thought, maybe even Wang Rong had killed her.

Wang Zhixi turned her head to look at the majestic Kunning Palace. Also, why did she say that without a mother, her mother would not die?
