I've been wondering, who is this Erqi, and why does she make me feel a little familiar with her? Why did he feel that she was strange? She's just an ordinary palace maid, or am I being too sensitive … Could it be that the older a person was, the more suspicious they would become?

The empress dowager's health was getting worse and worse, it used to be that he was sick occasionally, but now that he was sick often, Xuan Ye was very worried, so the number of times they left the palace was very low, and they often paid their respects to the empress dowager. Rong'er was also used to visiting the empress dowager, and sometimes, when chatting with the empress dowager, he would run into Xuan Ye, who knew that the emperor was still dealing with the matter of the Yaxa.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the beginning of spring and the snow had all melted. On a warm spring day, with green trees sprouting, everyone was in a much better mood. Rong'er was in her own sleeping quarters, leaning against a warm brick bed to rest.

After a while, Little Qing came in and said to Rong'er, "Master, this servant has already sent the emperor's new bird nest."

"Okay, thank you." Right now, in the palace, Imperial Concubine De, Noble Min, and the others have all agreed to be pregnant, and since Imperial Concubine De is bestowed with many concubines, and Min has a good relationship with many people, other people have given her quite a bit of food to make up for her loss. Only, because she had agreed to this, Rong'er did not know why, and was treated coldly in Cheng Gan Palace, which was one of the main palaces that Concubine Yi had worked for, so she could not say a word. She had once seen the imperial garden where she agreed to have all her servants play the flute alone, and seeing that scene, she felt really sour in her heart, so she often called for the maids to send her whatever she wanted to reward.

"Mistress, why do I feel like agreeing to that maid is weird?" Xiaoqing hesitated for a long time, but still muttered in a low voice. Normally, she would send other palace maids to send her off. Today, everyone else had a job, so she sent it over herself. Other than her, Su Ya and Qiu E, there were six other young palace maids besides Rong'er. Actually, when she left the palace, Rong'er had been assigned eight palace maids, excluding the seven of them, Yin'er had died in the earthquake, Xiu-Er had a lover at home and was allowed to go home last year, and Su Ya could not leave the palace. She and Qiu E did not have a lover outside, so it would be better if they followed a good mistress, thus, Xiu-Er never left the palace. At the beginning of the year, the Emperor ordered the Internal Affairs Office to send two more young palace maids over. Now, all of these people were listening to her commands, and of course, she treated these palace maids with the kindness of her master. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to send them off.

Hearing Xiaoqing's words, Rong'er raised her eyebrows and looked at her, "Tell me about it."

"It feels pretty cold and hostile towards people." Little Qing frowned as she thought about it, then she shook her head, "In short, I don't know what to say."

This palace maid was indeed a little strange. She remembered that she had heard Chang Hui address her as Erqi before, and Rong'er recalled that every time she saw Chang Chen agree, this palace maid would accompany her. She should have taken good care of him, so she smiled gently and said, "Maybe this is her character. Remember, Ling Ying was very cold back then, so you hate her to the bones."

Xiaoqing chuckled, "Hai, Master still remembers what happened that year, and makes fun of me! However... This palace maid is different from the time Ling agreed. The reason Ling Yun agreed coldly is because at that time, she thought she was beautiful and looked down on others. However, this palace maid seems to really be hostile towards her. " Xiao Qing suddenly thought of something and raised her voice, "That's right, Mistress, I think she always goes to Imperial Concubine Hui's storage palace. I saw her one morning and it was dusk one time."

"To the storage palace?" Rong'er couldn't help but mutter in confusion. This was a bit strange, after all, agreeing so often was only a promise. Furthermore, Cangxiu and Cangxiu were very far away, so shouldn't she send people to the Palace? He could not understand, so he smiled and said, "Maybe there is something that I can help you with."

"Mother!" The Emperor's voice suddenly rang out in dissatisfaction, his eyes full of innocence, "Can you all not speak …" I can't even concentrate when I teach you to write... "

Yin You held up a piece of paper filled with words, smiled at Rong'er, and then said in a still young voice, "Royal sis wrote the wrong word again!"

"Of course not!" "It's because I'm not paying attention!"

"Alright, eldest mother is wrong." Rong'er looked at his daughter, amused. "Alright, it's time for the Constitution to teach you how to write. I won't disturb you any longer."

Xiaoqing smiled back at him, causing him to feel embarrassed. Lowering his head to write, Xiaoqing picked up Rong'er's empty teacup and said, "Master, I'll go get you some tea."

When Xiaoqing left, Rong'er stared out of the window and couldn't help but think of that palace maid called Erqi. In fact, not only did she feel that she was strange, she also felt that she looked a little familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before. That was why she had left such a deep impression on the palace maid the first time she saw her, but she was sure that she had never seen her before.

At this moment, in the room that the Cheng Gan Palace often agreed to, the palace maid, Erqi, brought in a bowl of soup from Yan Wang. "Master, hurry and drink the soup while it's hot. This is good stuff." There was a gentle smile on her usually impassive face.

Chang Ying said with a smile, "Thank you, Imperial Concubine Rong. You've always missed me."

"That's true. I see that in this palace, everyone is only concerned with themselves, and only she still manages others. It's indeed not easy for her to occupy a high position in the Imperial Concubine."

"Sergei, you're here again. Actually, everyone is no longer like that." Chang'e's voice was soft as he subconsciously raised his head to look at the flute hanging by the bed.

ErQi sighed softly. "Mistress, this servant will accompany you to the imperial garden to play the flute later."

Chang nodded to ErQi with a smile.

"Master, what's so good about the emperor?" You've been pregnant for so long, but he's never come to your room to take a look. Just what sort of poison did the women in the palace suffer from? She was guarding a man who might appear at any moment, and she even forgot herself. You are the same, she is also … "

"She?" Chang Xie looked at her with a puzzled expression as he repeated what she said.

"Huh?" "I mean, you are, and so are all their concubines. I don't know why."

Chang Xie lightly smiled. "No matter what the Emperor does to us, since we are his women, we should wholeheartedly guard the emperor."

"In the end, how can I meet with the emperor?" She had been serving Chang Xiao for so long that the last time the emperor had not come to her room.

"Do you want to see the Emperor?" "Does he also wish to be seen by the emperor as a young master?"

"I don't want to!" "Not at all, Mistress. Drink the soup. It'll be cold later."

"Tell me, I won't tell anyone else if you want to become the emperor's woman. Everyone thinks that way, and if I didn't, I wouldn't be so hateful. Actually, I didn't mean to attract the emperor, it was just a coincidence." After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and started drinking the soup.

When she saw that Chang Xie had agreed to help her, a hint of pity flashed in her eyes. She felt pity for Chang Xie, but also pity for that person …
