When Wang Rong and the others returned to the Chuxiu Palace, they were surrounded by Cui Ruo and the others, crying and apologizing, "Alright, this was an accident, don't mind it. "Don't cry, cry like I'm dead." Wang Rong said.
"Disperse and let sister rest well." Yang Jingru said. Liu Jing felt that she was the one who had let Wang Rong and the troubles she had gotten herself into, and had worked hard with Xi Tao to serve Wang Rong. Wang Rong and her spirit were truly not well, and after saying that one time, he told her not to listen anymore, and closed her eyes and ignored it.
The royal doctors came over to check her pulse and prescribe medicine. Xi Tao wanted to feed Wang Rong and the medicine, so Wang Rong turned his head and refused to drink, "Miss, you can only recover after drinking the medicine."
Wang Rong He turned his head and refused to eat.
"Aunt went to ask Wang Zhixi what kind of rule Wang Rong and her family being sick was, Wang Zhixi was in a bit of a dilemma. "My sister rarely gets sick at home. I didn't know that she was so stubborn."
Wang Zhixi wanted to play the role of a sister in front of Wang Rong and the others, but she didn't give him face, so she was unable to feed her the medicine.
Wang Rong He laid on the ground for three full days before he started drinking on the third day, but the heat had already subsided. Wang Rong sat with her back leaning against the wall. "I've really scared you two."
Yang Jingru sat by her feet. For the past three days, in order to understand the changes in her body temperature, she and Liu Jing had taken turns to sleep by her side. "Elder sister doesn't look like someone who would grind people to death just because she's sick."
"I don't like to drink soup medicine. The bitter heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys are all bitter. I don't even have the appetite to eat for a few days. "Therefore, you don't get sick often. If you're really sick, then take some pills." Wang Rong He said, "It's my fault for not telling you in advance, and it even made you all anxious."
"What happened to sister on that day?" Yang Jingru asked.
"Inside the Palace of Gentle Serenity, the Empress Dowager Chen was also asking Wang Ronghe what had happened." His Majesty had let her save herself a day in the Qin'an Hall Cleansing Room, and did not give her any extra punishment, so how could she be so delicate and weak as to be ill? It's been a few days since I sent the royal physician over. "
Zhou Yuting smiled and said, "Perhaps Miss Wang is not pleased. "According to what Zhixi said, her elder sister rarely gets sick at home. I don't know how she got sick this time, and she refused to take any medicine for free, so she had to work hard for a few days for nothing."
"Is that so?" The Empress Dowager Chen asked Wang Zhixi.
"Elder sister really isn't very sick at home. I don't know why she's sick this time. Maybe it's because she's hiding her face. Elder sister was disrespectful before she entered, I believe she must have suffered a lot in her heart as well. " Wang Zhixi said gently.
"He doesn't look like a petty person either." The Empress Dowager Chen said, "What should we do if we put on such a show in the palace? If it still isn't good, then we should move out of the palace to peacefully recuperate in order to prevent the infectious disease from spreading to the other Imperial Consort Candidate s. "
The Imperial Consort Candidate s who had just left the Palace were all holding smiles as they relaxed. Being removed from the Palace at this time meant that they were no longer blessed. It seemed that the Wang Rong whom the Empress Dowager Li was fond of still gave people a lot of pressure, and the leading Zhou Yuting looked at Wang Zhixi, "Looks like the Wang Family sisters have a deep affection for me, is this little sister impatient to send big sister out of the palace?"
"I only care about my sister's body." Wang Zhixi said.
The Imperial Consort Candidate had returned with the palace maid of the Ci Ning Palace. Zhou Yuting had said that they would go and see Wang Rong's illness together, but in reality, she was just going to watch her get excited. The palace maid of Ci Ning Palace asked about Wang Rong He's illness, but she and Empress Dowager Xie were already fine.
But in the end, she was still a sickly girl, palace maid wanted to talk about Empress Dowager Chen's decree.
When Zhang Cheng was reported to have arrived, the palace maid of Ci Ning Palace looked at him smilingly, "You, the busy man in front of His Majesty, how can you be free to come to Chuxiu Palace?"
Zhang Cheng was a little surprised that there were so many Imperial Consort Candidate in the room today, but he still cupped his hands in greeting to the various Imperial Consort Candidate s. His Majesty ordered me to bestow upon you, Miss Wang. "
Wang Rong and Yang Jingru helped her down from the bed and onto her knees.
Zhang Cheng immediately said, "Your majesty took care of this lady's illness, and specifically instructed her not to kneel down."
Wang Rong insisted with a smile, "Rites cannot be wasted."
Kneeling on the ground, Zhang Cheng bestowed the Chuxiu Palace Imperial Consort Candidate Wang Shi, a pair of golden cicada hairpins.
"My daughter thanks Your Majesty for your grace." Wang Rong said while kowtowing.
When he raised his head, Zhang Cheng picked up the small sandalwood box that the eunuch held out from the wooden table behind him and gave it to Wang Rong He. The small sandalwood box was extremely simple and unadorned, it was the enlarged version of the box that Wang Rong had given Zhu Yijun the last time.
Wang Rong and she opened the box and saw a pair of long hairpins. One of the hairpins was made from a thin piece of gold, making the pavilion look like a paradise.
Extremely exquisite and luxurious.
Wang Rong and the surrounding Imperial Consort Candidate were all speechless for a moment. Compared to the jewelry bestowed by His Majesty to the other Imperial Consort Candidate, Wang Rong and the other treasures, especially the golden phoenix hairpin in the box, the people who wanted to buy more would think too much about it.
"His Majesty specially ordered someone to make a new hairpin. He said that Aunt Bao Zhang's hairpin isn't worthy of being a lady." Zhang Cheng said as he sold it off.
"Thank you, your majesty." Wang Rong He closed the box, but his expression did not show his pleasant surprise.
"The Lady copied the Buddhist scriptures. His Majesty said that he wanted them to go to the Supreme Temple." Zhang Cheng said.
Wang Rong was supported by Yang Jingru and asked, "Last time, I wanted to see when it would be convenient to deliver the book to you. After I've copied it, I will take it away together with you. Those three books should be useful now. "
"I'll send it back." Zhang Cheng laughed, "Your majesty will definitely be very happy."
Zhang Cheng had left. Seeing that, the palace maid of the Palace would naturally not mention anything about letting Wang Rong and the Palace move, and instead said that she wanted the Miss Wang to be healthy again. The Esteemed Empress Dowager had always been worried, and would come to the Palace to pay respects when she was better.
Wang Rong and naturally agreed.
When all the palace maid s of the Ci Ning Palace had left, Wang Rong got on the brick bed. She didn't wait for Zhou Yuting and the others to leave and went to sleep.
"Big sister didn't say anything, so she had already planned this long ago." Zhou Yuting said. His Majesty even specially gave you jewelry, different from the ones he gave us. I wonder if sister can lend me a look, I have never seen such exquisite jewelry? "
"If you want to see it, then see." Wang Rong He said, "It is only a gift, don't use too much strength. If you are injured, both of us will have to go through a lot of trouble."
"Elder sister, your scriptures have been highly valued by His Majesty, and you even said that you would be sent to the Grand Temple as a sacrifice. Why was it that last time, when the Ci Ning Palace was asking for a scripture, they did not call their elder sister over? " Wang Zhixi asked.
"There is naturally a reason behind Esteemed Empress Dowager's decision." Wang Rong He said, "Just like what His Majesty did, I don't know why?"
"What book is sister talking about?" Wang Zhixi probed. Elder sister has not recovered from her illness and is in low spirits. As for copying books, you can also call me over to help. "
"Elder sister is tired, come back tomorrow." Yang Jingru saw that Wang Rong She had already closed her eyes, and did not want to say anymore. They have also entered the front and back halls. For the first three days, no one came to see the ladies, so they could come a few more times and make up for it. This would also be good to say that they were very close to each other. "
"What a good dog leg." Zhou Yuting said, then snorted and left.
In the evening, there were Imperial Consort Candidate s who came over to show their appreciation during the day and learned all about the relationship between Empress Dowager Chen and Wang Zhixi. After Wang Rong and Wen Yan thanked him, the Imperial Consort Candidate finally relaxed and left. Even if the empress dowager liked it, she couldn't be more fond of it.
His Majesty had specially chosen the accessories for her, but in his heart, he had treated her differently from others.
Imperial Consort Candidate felt slightly sour in her heart, but she was very clear on her own talent and could not lose face in front of the emperor. She could only rely on the people the emperor doted on, in order to make life easier in the future.
"Zhou Yuting, you sure have a poisonous thought." Liu Jing said, "Big Sis was clearly injured and couldn't sleep for even a day before falling ill. Yet, she is only using Big Sis's thoughts to speak up, does she want to say that Big Sis is is resentful towards Your Majesty's punishment?"
"Forget about Zhou Yuting, why is big sister's sister not willing to speak up for big sister?" Yang Jingru said.
Wang Rong didn't seem to mind, "I'm just looking at how I'm doing better than sleeping with Wang Zhixi, I know that this sister of mine is only so-so."
"It's really lucky today. If His Majesty hadn't bestowed us with gifts, the empress dowager would have had her elder sister move out of the palace." Liu Jing said fearfully. Elder sister, I won't dare to be reckless in the future. "
"Mm, not being reckless is a good thing. There's another lesson in this, which is that when you and I are alone, we can't relax completely. Who knows what unforeseen event will happen? " Wang Rong He said. However, you shouldn't blame yourself too much on this matter. Your Majesty even gave me a golden hairpin, so you can see that I have benefited from this misfortune. "
"This golden hairpin is truly exquisite." Liu Jing said. It's just right for big sister. "
"I'm afraid I've really taken root in the empress dowager's eyes now." Wang Rong He said.
Empress Dowager Chen was also shocked when she heard palace maid's reply. Her Majesty gave us jewelry as well? "
"Yes, and it's jewelry that is a little excessive for Imperial Consort Candidate." "The palace maid said," A pair of golden bird-shaped fairy-like hairpins, and that blue bird-like hairpin is a golden phoenix hairpin. The jewellery that he had bestowed to Imperial Consort Candidate previously were all pearl velvet hairpins.
"Then it seems that His Majesty is rather fond of this Miss Wang." The Empress Dowager Chen said.
"Zhang Cheng said that His Majesty wanted to send the scriptures that the Miss Wang had copied when she was self-studying to the Grand Temple for worship." The palace maid said.
"Really?" Empress Dowager Chen was puzzled. Go and take a look at the scriptures that the had bestowed upon me previously. "
"Yes." The palace maid replied, and then said, "Seeing that you are fine now, I did not mention anything about moving your palace."
"Since she has already settled down, she naturally won't need to move her palace." The Empress Dowager Chen said.
Empress Dowager Li went to see his majesty, "Your majesty, I heard that you gifted the Wang Rong and a pair of golden hairpins today?"
Zhu Yijun stood in front of Empress Dowager Li and replied, "I didn't even give her the jewelry that I gave to Imperial Consort Candidate previously, I'll give it to her when I think of it."
"There was something amiss with your Majesty going to the Chuxiu Palace, as the Imperial Consort Candidate did not prepare for the disgrace, so your Majesty's punishments should have been reasonable." The Empress Dowager Li said, "His Majesty is the example of all the people in the world, and his every move must be in accordance with the rules of etiquette. Your Majesty, please do not act rashly. "
"I understand." Zhu Yijun said.
"Your Majesty can't just keep this in mind. You must remember not to offend him again." The Empress Dowager Li frowned as she said, "Even if you were to bestow upon Wang Rong and this matter is not appropriate, if you do not suffer from injustice, the emperor and the imperial harem must be close, both should be exposed to the rain and dew."
