After Zhu Yijun and Wang Rong finished chatting for a while, Zhang Cheng quietly reminded them that it was time to go back. Zhu Yijun pressed Wang Rong He's hand.
"I'll send you off, your Imperial Majesty." Wang Rong He said.
"You have a sore knee, sit down. I'm leaving." Zhu Yijun got up, walked two steps, then stopped again. He turned around and said to Wang Rong He, "If there's nothing else, write me a letter."
"I know." Wang Rong He said.
Zhu Yijun stepped out of the door and instantly bent down with his head lowered. Others might not be able to recognize him, but before he even stepped out of the courtyard and into Wang Rong's courtyard, someone came to fill his bag.
The most common purse was the exact same as the one sold for thirty cents on the street. Zhu Yijun returned to the carriage and opened it up. Inside were ten taels of silver ingots.
"Is it only this time, or is it every time?" Zhu Yijun asked.
Zhang Cheng carefully glanced at his expression, seeing that there was no anger on his face, he said, "It is customary for angels to approach a door. If we do not pick them up, I'm afraid the entire clan will be thrown into a panic. "
"How much money does her family have to spend like this? I wonder how my heart will ache. " Zhu Yijun said, "Later on, I will reward some gold from the treasury to the three countries. It's all thanks to you brats."
"Don't be so diligent in the future." Zhu Yijun said.
The old lady brought Wang Fuchang to her side and asked the old wet nurse to discipline her. Wang Fuchang cried and made a ruckus, saying that his mother was sick and wanted to go back to take care of her mother. I told you to go back. What did your mother say to you? What are your mothers muttering about in your room every day? The maids couldn't bear to listen any longer and reported it to me. Right now, the people of the palace live in the palace, so if they were to hear of this news, their entire family will be killed by your mother. "
"What's so great about a big sister becoming an empress? The empress has never had a child, so when big sister receives a sacred favor and gives birth to a prince, who knows who else can be an empress?" Wang Fuchang said as she stretched her neck out.
"Listen to me, what are you talking about?" The old lady said angrily, "If we don't turn this over, we won't be able to turn it over. How could I dare to tell you that I want you to marry someone else? In order to ensure the safety of our family, I can only allow you to live a life full of suffering. "
"Anyway, you're not biased for just one or two days. You only love big sister." Wang Fuchang's eyes were red. You're afraid that I'll lose my family's face, so I might as well go die. "
"Do you think I can't bear for you to die? Did I give you sisters what the Empress had from me? Did your mother give you one? If it wasn't for the fact that the Empress that your mother instigated since childhood came from the same stomach as you, do you all think the Empress is a big sister? " The old lady angrily said, "In the past, only you and Zhixi acted arrogantly in front of Miss here. For the sake of family harmony, the Empress endured it all. "You are the legitimate daughter, while the Empress is the original daughter. Your mother has been indignant for so many years, so why did she insist on marrying your father? If she had not insisted, perhaps the Empress would not have needed to die."
Your mother only has two daughters, so I didn't teach you the rest of the stuff, but I didn't let down any of your energy. Your mother only has two daughters, but I didn't teach you the rest, but I didn't let go of any of your energy.
"But now you're the empress's sister, the only one who hasn't been married off yet. All the good people who didn't even dare to think about in the past all want to marry us. With your appearance, are you going to make a marriage or to make a feud?"
"Others will only say that you are Empress Wang's younger sister, while no one will say that you are Beauty Wang's younger sister. Your future prosperity will all be based on this. If you don't understand this point, then don't come out and see others. " the old lady said. She was taken to the small Buddhist hall at the back of the house. Once the door was locked, she was sent in by the mama and her maid to reflect on her actions. She closed her eyes. She was the only one who knew the cause of her death. In these long years, she was the only one who guarded that sin. She could neither speak nor be released.
Wang Fuchang was stunned by the old lady's words. If it wasn't for your mother's insistence, perhaps the Empress's mother wouldn't have to die. She wouldn't have been able to recover even after being brought to the small ancestral hall. She shook her head, unwilling to believe that her big sister's mother had died, and his father had only just married her mother, didn't he? But no matter if it was her father, grandmother, three elder brothers, or his older sister, no matter how hard his mother tried, they would only think of the dead Zhang family. His mother lived a very hard life in this house, and only she and his older sister were his mother's dependents.
Wang Fuchang couldn't help but cry, what should she do?
When Lady Cui heard that Wang Fuchang had been taken over by the old granny and that the responsibility for the Third Miss' upbringing had always been placed under the responsibility of the old granny, she immediately went crazy and caused a huge ruckus. However, the people in her courtyard were already being controlled by the old lady and her voice couldn't even leave the courtyard.
"When will you be able to go out?" "In order to prevent Madame from passing on her illness to the Master and Third Miss, the Master and Third Miss will not come to see her for the time being."
Lady Cui laid on the ground as she muttered with a sneer, "Why didn't the old pope kill me at this point?"
"Yes. Her darling granddaughter is going to be the empress. " Lady Cui sneered, "I wonder if the death of my mother will affect the time of my father's wedding?"
"If you don't want to, you can do it, but it won't be difficult for the secretary to stay in the office for four months. Everyone knows that Madam Heng is sick." The woman said, "It's fine if Second Miss enters the palace, but I pity Third Miss. In the future, I won't have a mother to suffer with."
Lady Cui's tears flowed freely. She was only saying those words, how could she be willing to die? She also wanted to enter the palace as the queen's mother to see Xi-er. Xiu-er was so beautiful and smart, so she definitely wouldn't be limited to this.
After the wet nurse came to tell Wang Rong and what had happened in the house, Wang Rong sighed. "We'll do everything according to Grandmother's wishes."
"This time, the old lady seems to have made up her mind. Madame and Third Miss are both imprisoned." said the nurse.
"I believe Grandmother will know her limits. Nanny, in the future, as long as the affairs of the people in the family are not out of line or out of order, I can't interfere in the family's decisions. It's like when a lady can give some advice, but now, it's best for me to not say anything. "If you think that I am the Empress and that everything in the family must be done in accordance to my preferences, I'm afraid that in the end, I will also be an isolated and helpless person."
"Besides, everything Grandmother did was for me, so how could I tell Grandmother not to do it? Third Miss will definitely marry into the house of the marquis in the future. This is why Grandmother has to change her personality. To me, there will be one less hidden danger in the future. As for mother, she is also a grandmother, so she should know what to do. " Wang Rong He said.
"I'm not saying that the old lady didn't handle it well, but I'm just worried that if this sort of thing were to spread, it would affect the Empress's reputation." said the nurse.
"Even though reputation is important, if you place too much importance on reputation, you will be held hostage by it. In the future, you will be afraid of everything." Wang Rong He said.
"Reputation can be created." Wang Ronghe said, "Rather than others to determine my reputation, it would be better for me to mold it myself."
"Call Ruoyun to see me tomorrow." Wang Rong He said that aside from her distant friends, she also wanted to share the rest of the goods with her brothers. However, she still kept the land for herself. Every year, there would be some rents that could be sold as emergencies. She could not say that she did not need to prepare at all when she went to the palace. She still needed money.
He had the money in his hands, but he didn't panic.
Summoning Ruoyun here was to see how much money she could take out right now. Afterwards, she would go to Tzu Chi Temple and donate a year's worth of money to it.
But soon, he no longer needed Wang Rong's and his money, and the next day the Emperor gifted him three hundred gold, which he would use to prepare the empress for marriage.
Wang Wei accepted the money, he was not happy at all, but he felt like he was being looked down on. Even though he was not talented, he still had the money his daughter prepared for him to marry. When Wang Wei went to meet with Wang Rong, he told his, "Right now, our family is still very busy, so you should take it and use it as the deposit box."
"The palace comes and goes, and the family has to spend all their time and effort to entertain him. This was given to father by the Emperor. Father can just accept it. Daughters naturally have their own money." Wang Rong He said, "His Majesty's gift of gold is a great gift, daughter never thought that one day she would become an official palace, and it is also his Majesty's gift. Your daughter has always been nervous, why not father take some silver to the Tzu Chi Temple for a fast meal, as a gift to your daughter."
"Whatever you want, I've neglected this point." Wang Wei said.
"Father must remember to mention that this is a gift from His Majesty." Wang Rong He said.
"I saved it." Wang Wei said. No matter what, he still wanted to give his daughter a box full of money. It wouldn't be good to directly give his daughter the emperor's reward. After this period, he would take out the money and give it to his daughter.
Ruoyun was called over to see the Queen. Aunt Mei Dong frowned as she saw how this commoner girl was not wearing makeup, but the Empress had difficulty letting her go, these things that would cause the Empress to be unhappy needed to be done, even if she was sent to serve the Palace Manager. If the Empress was not satisfied, she could change anyone after entering the palace.
If Palace Manager Cui hadn't wanted to manage the wedding ceremony in the palace, she would have come and personally serve the Empress long ago. She was born based on her qualifications, and if she were to be switched out by the Empress, she would be reduced to a miserable state in a sect like the Palace Manager.
He told the Empress that rules and regulations did not exist. If the Empress wanted to know, she could say whatever she wanted. The Empress didn't ask, or perhaps she didn't care, but she closed her eyes and didn't see anything.
"Ruoyun pays her respects to the Empress." "Ruoyun truly doesn't know how to celebrate with the Empress, so she just kowtows three times to the Empress, praying that the Empress will be fine, that Wuyou will live a smooth life."
"Get up." Wang Rong asked Xi Tao to help her up, "Regardless of the change in our identities, the relationship between us as cousins will not change at all. When I enter the palace in the future, you will have more days to rely on."
"Do things for the Empress. I won't give up even if I die. " When the news of Wang Rong and the Queen came out, she and her brother had discussed it before. They were afraid that if Wang Rong and the Queen were to become part of the family, the shop would not go on, and in order to not cause trouble for the Empress, the two of them should return to their homeland together.
If the Empress still wanted to use her, wasn't that the greatest news? He was used to managing businesses in the capital, so returning home was easier said than done.
