Wang Rong and the clothes for the banquet found a green pleated skirt, with Ai Qing rolling white coat, white teeth, and a rouge belt. Both the brocade ball and the scented pill were made of silver, the silver embroidered pouch, the white jade pendant decorated with a long tassel of gradually changing green, and the clothes and skirt embroidered with wormwood. Yang Jingru touched the ornaments on his body, "This way of looking at it, is also pretty nice to look at."
"We have to make so many clothes a year. The flowers and birds aren't enough for embroidery. We have to find some that aren't often used on embroidery, but are rather new." Wang Rong He said.
"But elder sister, wouldn't it be too simple if you wore this kind of clothes to the banquet?" Yang Jingru said.
Wang Rong smiled, tied all of her hair on top of her head, and used a white jade lotus crown to tie it all up, allowing Xi Tao to take out the golden hairpin that had been awarded by the Emperor. The gold tassels danced in his ears as golden light billowed.
When Xi Tao prepared to give Wang Rong and the hairpin to her, Wang Rong said that she did not want it, "One hairpin is enough."
"At the beginning, I didn't feel like this golden hairpin would be just right." Yang Jingru said, "The golden hairpin bestowed by her majesty is just too exquisite and gorgeous, and the color of her clothes are just too gorgeous. Zhou Yuting always dressed in this way, so big sister bumped into her."
"I'm not afraid of bumping into her, it's just a small banquet. We are all Imperial Consort Candidate now, it's not good to be too flamboyant." Wang Rong He said. Zhu Yijun wanted to attend the banquet and didn't bring the golden hairpin that he had given to Yue Yang. The golden hairpin bestowed by the king was already extremely eye-catching. If she were to wear it in such a gorgeous manner, it would be hard to tell what kind of person would look like in the eyes of others.
Looking at the makeup mirror, Wang Rong began to make up. Her eyebrows were drawn a little bit, and her eyeliner was drawn a little bit longer.
"Big sister's drawing is better than palace maid's." Yang Jingru said.
"Then should I draw it for you?" Wang Rong He said, "Did you trust me?"
"Why not?" Yang Jingru laughed.
It was only when it was time that Wang Rong and the Imperial Consort Candidate went to the Palace of Ci Ning, that the dancing Imperial Consort Candidate went to the Palace of Ci Ning, and when all the other Imperial Consort Candidate went to pay their respects to the empress dowager, did Her Majesty come as well. When she passed by Wang Rong and stopped for a moment, she looked at the golden hairpin on her head, and pursed her lips with an unfathomable smile.
Wang Rong calmly sat down, the Empress Dowager Chen smiled and asked, "Are you all well?"
"Empress Dowager Xie is worried. There's nothing wrong with her body now." Wang Rong He said.
"This is the hairpin that the king gave you. It looks like it's better than the one your aunt gave you." When Empress Dowager Chen said this, all of the women present turned to look at Wang Rong He, "This one looks more beautiful with a beautiful hairpin on her head."
Wang Rong touched the hairpin on her head shyly, lowered her head, and didn't say anything.
"Your Imperial Majesty, even concubines would want such a beautiful hairpin." Imperial Lower Consort Guo said in a spoiled manner.
"How difficult is that? I'll get the Feng Shang to send you to the palace later." Zhu Yijun said.
"Thank you, your majesty." Imperial Lower Consort Guo said with a flowery smile. She glanced at Wang Rong She and wondered why his Majesty would suddenly show up. Feng Shang had waited on the emperor for so long, but it was still raining the moment she saw wind.
This time, the Imperial Consort Candidate looked at Wang Rongzhi with a sympathetic gaze. Wang Rongzhi did not lower her head and simply sat there, wearing an appropriate smile.
Even if Zhu Yijun were to look over, she would just laugh like that.
After the dance at the Faculty Division, the Empress Dowager Chen said to the emperor, "The Imperial Consort Candidate was kind enough to arrange a dance for your majesty, your majesty should watch carefully."
Zhu Yijun nodded.
Empress Dowager Li frowned slightly. In her heart, she was very displeased that Empress Dowager Chen always made Imperial Consort Candidate dance and sing. In the future, she would be her daughter, and the more precious the concubine, the better.
By the time Wang Zhixi recorded the recording, she was wearing the same clothes as the other Imperial Consort Candidate, but her makeup was different. She had an extremely white makeup, unusual eyes, enchanting eyes, and a pair of red eyebrows.
It had an alluring beauty to it.
Empress Dowager Li clenched his fist tightly. Empress Dowager Chen glanced at her, then took another look at Zhu Yijun's expression.
In this batch of Empress Dowager Chen s, the two most valued were Zhou Yuting and Wang Zhixi. Zhou Yuting could tell from the looks of things that they were ambitious and capable, and Wang Zhixi was a beauty bestowed by the heavens.
Empress Dowager Chen had lived in this palace all her life, so she naturally knew the extent to which women could do such things. Empress Dowager Chen was not her biological mother. In the situation where her mother was still alive, even though everything had been revered in name, how could reality compare to her?
She had always been trying to win His Majesty's heart over. When the emperor grew up, she should start from the emperor's woman and thus influence the emperor.
The Empress Dowager Li had never worried about this. She had always been strict with His Majesty, and had always been responsible for his women. Perhaps this was what she relied on as her biological mother.
The dancing soon ended, and all the Imperial Consort Candidate s kneeled on the ground waiting for their rewards. Zhu Yijun asked, "Why does it look different here? Is there a Persian in the Imperial Consort Candidate this time? "
"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are no Persians in the Imperial Consort Candidate this time." Palace Manager Cui said. Maybe Imperial Consort Candidate thought it was beautiful and intentionally made it up. "
"So ugly." Zhu Yijun said, he did not even raise his eyebrows and said normally, "We do not like Persian girls, my imperial harem does not allow Persian girls, if there is a Imperial Consort Candidate who likes to dress as Persian barbarians, we can send them away."
The women of the harem had regarded the Emperor as the heavens, and now that they had been told by the Emperor that they were ugly to death, what a cruel judgment they had had on the Emperor's woman. The concubines and Imperial Consort Candidate at the banquet raised their handkerchief to cover their mouths in unison.
Wang Zhixi crawled on the ground, her body couldn't help but tremble slightly, yet she couldn't even open her mouth to refute. Empress Dowager Li liked Persian beauties, she never thought that His Majesty would dislike them. No, if Empress Dowager Li had truly been cared by Persian concubines, Empress Dowager Li would definitely plead for her.
Wang Zhixi looked at Empress Dowager Li with anticipation.
Her son told her the truth. Empress Dowager Li let out a long sigh and her fingers relaxed, during the Former Emperor's banquet, she had once been humiliated by a Persian concubine, the blue-eyed concubine, who pointed at her and said, "The concubine concubines in His Majesty's palace really cannot remember that much, just like this sister. If I didn't see her at His Majesty's place, I would have thought she was a palace maid from some other palace."
What did His Majesty say? Yes, His Majesty said that you weren't wrong about your beloved concubine, she is a palace maid after all.
That day, even if she died, she would still remember the humiliation she had suffered.
His Majesty spoke up for her, so she wouldn't fly into a rage. She had already gone to make things difficult for a small Imperial Consort Candidate, only saying indifferently, "When a group of people dance, she's the only one different. It's obvious that her heart is moved. "This kind of thinking is too petty. Even if you're smart, it doesn't mean you need to think in the right way."
"Palace Manager Cui, send this Imperial Consort Candidate home." The Empress Dowager Li said.
"Imperial Consort Candidate wants to show that it is not a wrong thing in front of His Majesty. "The Empress Dowager Chen laughed as she added. Now, sending her out of the palace alone would only mean sending her to her death. The king's immediate plans were right in front of him. There was no need to provoke such a massacre. Then, we will stay in the palace. How much does a Imperial Consort Candidate have to eat? "
"Punishing without teaching is oppressive. Since she was the first to commit a crime, she would stay in the palace. "If there is a recurrence in the future, there will be no further discussion." Zhu Yijun said.
With such a ruckus, the reward was gone. Zhou Yuting hated Wang Zhixi from the bottom of her heart, after receiving the look from the Empress Dowager Chen, she saluted and left, but Wang Zhixi softened her legs, the person in front walked off the stage quickly, and only she stayed behind, and when she stepped down from the stage, she realized that Wang Zhixi was not following her, but no one was willing to help her, so the more anxious Wang Zhixi got, the weaker she got, until she was on the verge of crying.
Wang Rong sighed, she stood up and bowed, then went onto the stage to support Wang Zhixi and walked down. Seeing that no one was willing to help her, he directly sent her back to the Chuxiu Palace.
"Sister, sister, what should I do?" On the way, Wang Zhixi cried out.
"Don't cry." Wang Rong He said, "Do you want someone to go before His Majesty and say that you don't like his words?"
"Your Majesty is sending me out of the palace." Wang Zhixi tried not to cry but her tears continued to jump, "The servants have already decided, if I leave the palace, no one will know what to do with me. If they think I've violated a rule in the palace, I'll die on my way home."
"Didn't the Emperor say that he wanted you to stay at the palace?" Wang Rong He said. If she had known it would be so easy to leave the palace, she would have given it a try. What was there to fear from others' advice? If no one dared to ask her to marry, she would find a mountain and set up an temple. She would train with vigor and be free to do whatever she wanted.
"I didn't mean to." Wang Zhixi said, "It was someone else who told me that Esteemed Empress Dowager liked Persian beauties, so I dressed up like this."
"In the palace, you have to bite the bullet if you want to talk to someone face-to-face before you can listen. If you want to listen to something like this, just listen." Wang Rong said.
"But I also went to ask others. I asked Chuxiu Palace's aunt and she also said that Empress Dowager Li is different from other people to Persian beauties." Wang Zhixi said in panic.
"But His Majesty doesn't like it now." Wang Rong said, she was not sure if Zhu Yijun truly did not like it, or if he just pretended to. There were no Persian beauties in his palace, and there were some in the Former Emperor Palace. However, why did they offend him?
Wang Zhixi cried all the way to the Chuxiu Palace, telling Wang Rong that he had died. " Don't cry anymore. Wash your eyes off quickly. If you can't wash your eyes, then you'll be in bad shape from now on. "
Fangruo brought the copper basin in, "Why did Miss come back first?"
"It's all your fault. You've caused me so much suffering." "Wang Zhixi is going to fight with Fangruo." Speak, who are you to harm me on purpose? I ask myself, you are not bad, but how can you have such a vicious heart, and want to ruin my entire life? "
"Miss, Miss, what happened to you?" Fangruo blocked a few moves, and after seeing Wang Zhixi's red hand, she said in a stern voice. Is the girl crazy? "
"No words." Wang Rong shouted, "You dare to say anything?"
"Bring your girl a cup of hot tea." Wang Rong ordered.
Fangruo put down the copper basin, and unwillingly went out. Wang Zhixi sat on the side of the brick bed in a daze, Wang Rong She scrubbed her face with a handkerchief, "The one word that can't be tolerated the most is madness, if you still want to stay in the palace you can think about it yourself."
"Elder sister, I only have elder sister now. Elder sister won't just ignore me, right? " Wang Zhixi sincerely held Wang Rong's hand, "Sis, you're my blood sister."
