Wei Qinghua left with her face hidden. She gave up her self-esteem and status as a lady to learn the most despicable tricks, just to be able to feel proud one day.

But today, His Majesty's words completely shattered the hope.

——

Xie Zhao stood in the yard, looking at the people who walked in, "I'm willing to come back." Her voice was cold and thin, revealing a bit of indifference.

Wei Qinghua was so frightened that he suddenly raised his head and knelt down, "I have seen the empress."

Xie Zhao was playing with an orange in his hand, "Why, are you angry there?" She said in a sarcastic tone, "It's just a toy. Didn't Mrs. Su tell you that you gave it to me as a pet?"

She raised her eyes and said, "If I think so, you will be rejected by His Majesty at any time. Why, you didn't see your identity clearly."

Wei Qinghua's lips trembled, "My concubine's father is, after all, an official of the third rank of the Ministry of Household Affairs. I can't stand it no matter what." She seemed to have reached the limit of her patience, and her tone was a little hysterical.

"Oh? Yes, but you are acting like this. I thought you came from the Goulan Courtyard." She peeled off an orange and threw it into her mouth. "You are the legitimate daughter of the family, but you are not favored. Your mother

I’m the successor, so I handed you these?”

She sneered, "I have heard that Mr. Wei forced his wife to die and had a wife. Because of this, he was reprimanded by His Majesty and almost lost his official position. Now you have a false reputation but no achievements. What qualifications do you have to work in this country?"

In front of the palace?"

She stood up and said, "In terms of the real power in his hands, Rong Zhaoyi's father, although he is only a fourth-rank official now, is still a close minister of the Emperor. He is highly regarded by His Majesty and is a capable person himself. There is nothing you can compare with."

Her words were like knives. They pierced into Wei Qinghua's heart, destroying her dignity.

"If you want to be a toy, you have to have the consciousness of being a toy. There are so many daughters of officials of the third and fourth grades in the harem, but you are the only one who has no regard for shame and flattery. Now, do you have the same dignity as me?" she said.

Without mercy, Wei Qinghua's last ridiculous self-esteem fell to the bottom.

In fact, she knew very well that the sisters with the same status as her entered the palace just to weigh the court and harem, and did not really care about the emperor's favor.

As long as their father is in the right position, they will not be suppressed in this harem. Only her father has an empty reputation and has made His Majesty dislike him. She has only this way.

She knelt on the ground and burst into tears, "I am a concubine who has lost her composure, please punish me." Her voice was choked with sobs.

Xie Zhao said coldly, "Kneel down. I will kneel down to my palace and let you get up."

——

Emperor Xuan Zhao took Fu Ronghua's hand and said, "Come with me. I don't have to come to pick you up at night."

Meng Fangfei stood up and saluted, "Concubine, I respectfully send you off to Your Majesty."

Fu Ronghua lowered her eyes and said, "I accept the decree." She couldn't help but turn around and glanced at the two of them. Her eyes finally fell on Meng Fangfei, her eyes darkening a little.

Emperor Xuan Zhao held her hand, and the bright yellow ceremonial guard opened the way. Many palace ladies saw this scene and became more aware of Fu Ronghua's favor.

Fu Ronghua watched him walking and couldn't help but pull his sleeves, "Your Majesty, this is the imperial study room." She whispered.

Emperor Xuan Zhao kept walking, "Why don't you add fragrance to my red sleeves?"

Fu Ronghua's cheeks turned red when she heard this, "Your Majesty," she said softly.
