Zhu Yijun consecutively went to the Nurturing room for two days, but Wang Rong and she really did not come. Zhang Cheng looked at the emperor's expression and secretly called for the people from Faculty Division to play in the garden, to prevent his Majesty from feeling awkward.
Zhu Yijun was at the Gonghou Garden, and thus, the palace maid's concubines came here as if they were bees smelling honey. On the third day, Wang Rong pulled a tune from the Embroidery Mountain. Zhu Yijun did not go to the Gonghou Garden, but asked the little eunuch to go to the Gonghou Garden.
"He also became a b * stard today?" Zhu Yijun asked.
"Yes." The eunuch knelt and replied, "This little one doesn't understand what you are pulling, but it was quite nice to pull. I only pulled a tune for about an incense's time and the lady returned to the Chuxiu Palace."
"Are there a lot of people on Gonghou Garden today?" Zhu Yijun asked.
"Many." "Before Miss, there is Beauty Xiao playing the flute at Cheng Rui Pavilion. Behind Miss, there are two Imperial Consort Candidate playing the zither at Wan Chun Pavilion."
"This Emperor understands, you may leave." Zhu Yijun said.
Wang Rong pulled Er Hu back, causing Liu Jing to be puzzled, "Big sister, these few days it was rumored that His Majesty was listening to music in his Gonghou Garden. Many people went to the Gonghou Garden to join in on the fun, hoping to meet His Majesty by chance. Why are you going to the Gonghou Garden to play at this time?
"There's no misunderstanding. I went to the Gonghou Garden for your majesty to hear." Wang Rong He said.
"Big sister, please don't joke. Big sister is not like that." Liu Jing said.
"Am I not going to ask His Majesty's favor?" Wang Rong said deliberately.
"No, even if Big Sister were to be spoiled, she would probably go back when she was certain that Your Majesty was at Gonghou Garden. After hearing the news today, your majesty still hasn't come to the Gonghou Garden yet. " Liu Jing said. Elder sister is not the kind of person who would try hard enough to please others. "
"You're the smart one." Wang Rong said while nodding her head.
The Empress Dowager Chen asked the Imperial Consort Candidate to embroider a straw bag for each person, in order to test the female workers of the Imperial Consort Candidate. Wang Rong and the female workers of the Imperial Consort Candidate took great pains to sew up a basket of items. Wang Zhixi's embroidery work was exceptional, while Yang Jingru's embroidery work was also very good.
"I'll make one for my sister." Yang Jingru said, "Anyway, in the future, I will not have much time to do embroidery myself."
"It's not like the empress dowager gave us any problems, it's just a purse. She said that the Esteemed Empress Dowager's female examiners were more like the Esteemed Empress Dowager visiting people's hearts." Wang Rong She said, "Even if it's good or bad, it can only be done by oneself, it can't be faked with manpower."
A few people embroidered mandarin ducks, Wang Rong, and like the crane, so he embroidered a white crane pattern on the cloth. Because it was just like embroidery, it took a lot of effort to cut and shape it into the shape of a cloud. Double beads hung on both sides, tassels dyed green with dye.
The red-crowned crane flew on top of the cloud, and below the cloud, there was water.
It's not unusual, but Wang said, touching the needle on the tip of his finger, it's full of sincerity after all.
The palace maid in front of him raised her hand and carried a embroidered plate over her shoulder. On top of the plate were various types of winnings, and after Empress Dowager Chen praised the female workers of the Imperial Consort Candidate, he smiled at Zhu Yijun and said, "Your Majesty, choose a favorite one to hang up on."
Zhu Yijun rummaged through again and chose the Golden Dragon Pouch that Yang Jingru had embroidered and the Immortal Crane Pouch that Wang Rong had made.
"How did the emperor choose these two?" Empress Dowager Chen asked. She naturally knew who made these winebags, "They are all identical dragon designs. What is the reason for Your Majesty to choose this?"
"This dragon looks more spirited." Zhu Yijun said, "Why, you can't choose this."
"Of course." Empress Dowager Chen said. Your Majesty, how many more should I choose? "
"Aren't these all for me?" Zhu Yijun asked.
"Haha, of course they are all for your majesty." The Empress Dowager Chen covered her mouth and laughed, "It's just that there are a few diagrams that you can see from a glance that they honor us two elders. Your Majesty, you have yet to use this immortal crane to extend your years of age. "
"Just take her out as a sign of filial piety." Zhu Yijun said. He was holding the crane but he didn't let go, as if what he was holding wasn't the crane.
When he returned to the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yijun got someone to tie the Immortal Crane Lotus Bag around his neck.
"Could it be that the girl did this?" Zhang Cheng asked. Your Majesty, you're amazing. You can tell which one of those pouches was made by a girl with just one glance. "
"You'll know when you see the stitches." Zhu Yijun said, "The stitches and kicks are all over the place, it is easy to tell that female workers are not good, and they tend to think of ways to avoid trouble. If it wasn't her, who else could it be?"
"I feel like this embroidery is pretty good too." Zhang Cheng said.
"That means I don't hate her anymore." Zhu Yijun said as he flicked his bag.
Zhang Cheng looked at him, "Then, will Your Majesty still be going to the cultivation room tomorrow?" Tomorrow was the day where Zhu Yijun would let Wang Rong play with him again at the Gonghou Garden.
"Not going." Zhu Yijun said, "She made us go there for nothing, she also wanted us to go there for nothing, so we have no face."
Therefore, it didn't matter whether he was there or not. She stood at the peak and played the zither for him, for him to listen, a person must have a time when they were alone.
Empress Dowager Li went to the Qin'an Hall to listen to a Buddhist scripture, and when she came out she heard a melodious voice, "Is this that Imperial Consort Candidate called Wang Rong She playing the zither?" With Erhu's unique musical instrument, there was probably no one else apart from her.
"Yes." "Let's go to the embroidery pavilion to play the zither every now and then."
"Is it because of His Majesty?" Empress Dowager Li asked. She naturally knew that Zhu Yijun often came to the Gonghou Garden.
"I don't know about that." "However, when she played the zither, His Majesty wasn't even at the Gonghou Garden. It seems that her luck wasn't too good."
"If you haven't run into one yet, it's not bad luck, it's avoiding suspicion." The Empress Dowager Li said.
"Go, invite her to come to the Grass Hall." The Empress Dowager Li said.
When the Empress Dowager Li was about to call for Wang Rong and his wife in Liao Ge Hall, the eunuch immediately went down to arrange it. When Wang Rong and his son came down from the mountain, the Empress Dowager Li was already seated on her throne.
"Get up." Empress Dowager Li said. "Sit."
"Do not be restrained, today when I hear you playing the zither in my Qin'an Hall, the zither sounds are melodious, and I wanted to summon you here to chat." The Empress Dowager Li said. She had always been strict with her majesty, and the late imperial concubine palace maid was also a woman. The imperial palace's evaluation of her was more like that of a strict empress dowager who was difficult to get along with. But in truth, the Empress Dowager Li spoke gently to people who followed the rules.
"The sound of the countryside cannot enter the empress dowager's ears." Wang Rong He said.
"This one is also from the countryside, what is there to not hear?" The Empress Dowager Li said, "The harem has been raised by the citizens, yet they look down on them from above. This is not a good omen."
"Esteemed Empress Dowager is for the common people, it is the blessing of the common people." Wang Rong He said. Perhaps it was because the atmosphere was relaxed, but she dared to look up at the empress dowager. Empress Dowager Li was only in her thirties now, and her facial features revealed the elegant and refined appearance of a young girl, which caused her to furrow her brows frequently.
"This Dowager likes your looks the most. You don't smile, but look like you're smiling. When you smile, your eyes are curved and your dimples are really sweet." Empress Dowager Li suddenly said.
Wang Rong and Wen Yan laughed until their dimples appeared. "Besides my grandmother, the Empress is the first to praise my daughter's looks." My daughter is so happy. "
"No one praises you for your beauty?" The Empress Dowager Li asked in shock.
"Speaking of which, my daughter also has a saltless nickname." Wang Rong smiled and said, "Since young, there has been a beauty comparing you to her, and this little girl's beauty has been compared to the weak point."
"Aren't you angry when people say that you have no salt?" Empress Dowager Li asked.
"It's not like there's really no salt. What's there to be angry about? Even if there's really no salt and the mouth grows on someone else, do you want to make someone else feel bad about it? " Wang Rong He said. My daughter's appearance was inherited from her parents. Grandmother said that my daughter looked very much like my mother. My daughter had never seen her mother before, so when she looked into the mirror, she imagined her mother's appearance. My daughter is very satisfied with her looks. "
"What a filial child." The Empress Dowager Li said, "He's also a transparent child."
"My little girl's life has gone so far, I don't know how to consider her life as clean and clear." Wang Rong tilted her head and looked at Empress Dowager Li, "But if I can one day become someone like Esteemed Empress Dowager, maybe I won't have to live this life for nothing."
"Oh, you want to be someone like This Dowager? You want to be the empress dowager too? " The Empress Dowager Li said this deliberately.
"The Empress has misunderstood my daughter's meaning." Wang Rong He said, "My daughter also wants to become a heart at all times feeling a needle and thread from the Li people's support."
Empress Dowager Li looked at her and smiled, "Your thoughts are already much better than others. I only hope that in the future, when your position is high and prosperous, you won't forget your original intention. "
Empress Dowager Li called Wang Rong over to chat with him. Before he left, he took out a golden garlic loach Peony Bracelet and bestowed it to Wang Rong He.
After returning to the Chuxiu Palace, Wang Zhixi went over to catch her breath. "Did Big Sis meet the empress dowager at the Gonghou Garden?"
"You played Erhu in the embroidery pavilion, and the song said that the empress dowager wanted to see me. So it was the empress dowager who had come out from the Qin'an Hall to hear me play the zither." Wang Rong He said.
"What a coincidence!" Wang Zhixi said, "I am not very lucky, the last time I went to the embroidery pavilion with big sister, I did not meet anyone. This time, big sister met Esteemed Empress Dowager."
"Then you should come with me next time." Wang Rong He said, "I don't want you to be muttering in your heart that I purposely made you get away from me."
"Elder sister misunderstood, I didn't think so." Wang Zhixi said. The mountain is still a mountain, so little sister's strength is insufficient. It's really hard to climb a mountain. "
"If we don't go to the Assembling Mountain, Gonghou Garden and I have nothing to go to." Wang Rong He said.
"Elder sister saw the empress dowager, what did she reward you with?" Wang Zhixi asked.
Wang Rong He extended his hand, "Here, a household bracelet."
Wang Zhixi shook her head when she heard her. "Perhaps the empress dowager has a different style than the empress dowager. From the time I went to the Peace Palace, the empress dowager had given me many things."
"In the future, little sister will also receive generous rewards when she meets the Empress Dowager Li." Wang Rong He said.
"Big sister must be joking." Wang Zhixi slowly explained, "Little Sister doesn't mean that."
"What do you mean?" Wang Rong asked.
"What does sister mean?" Wang Zhixi said timidly.
"Strange, what do you mean by asking me? These words come out of your mouth and into my ears, and if you think what they mean, I hear what they mean. " Wang Rong He said.
