On the seventeenth of August, Zhu Yijun announced the decree of the whole world using the Central Palace's imperial Huangji Hall: "We will accept the position of the ruler of the land with a capital of ten thousand souls, and the ruler of the land will preach the teachings of the land and heaven after listening to their teachings. We are proud of the righteousness of the world, and we shall abide by the orders of heaven and earth. The Holy Mother of Our Lady, Her Majesty the Holy Mother, asked for a simple and elegant service, and I bowed to obey her orders and told the heavens and earth that the royal temple was erected in May 19, 1996. The royal family was reigned as the empress of the Middle Palace, and that the two palaces were reared by the same family, and the royal court and the royal palace had been embellished in the Nine Houses of the Emperor and were known by all the emissaries in the Proclamation of Myriad Worlds.

Wang Rong woke up with Zhu Yijun at the same time. After the palace maid served him up to court, she could not go back to sleep. She sat at the dressing table and allowed the palace maid to dress her up. Actually, according to the rules, she should have woken up earlier than Zhu Yijun, and after she was properly dressed, she would go and wake Zhu Yijun up.

Everywhere outside the bed, it would be a disgrace not to be seen by His Majesty.

In order to dress properly, she would have to wake him up at least half an hour earlier. She was already tired to have to deal with him at night, if she did not sleep with him here, she could sleep at least an hour late every day. If it had been from the very first time, Zhu Yijun would not have noticed it at all. Even if he had noticed, could it be that he was stingy enough to ask why she didn't groom him before serving us?

As for the others, Aunt Mei knew what to say and what not to say. The rest of the palace maid s would not talk.

Wang Rong didn't feel any pressure, in her opinion, the empress should have these privileges. Besides, this is the time for youth to be invincible. Why wear powder?

After His Majesty ascended to the throne, his Majesty was taken care of by the Qianqing Palace to stay in the main hall of the palace. The empress dowager urged him to learn government affairs, and only moved out of Qianqing Palace after six years of being chosen for a grand wedding. Although the Empress Dowager Li was the biological mother of the emperor, with the presence of the Empress Dowager Chen, the Empress Dowager Li would naturally leave this place everywhere.

Zhu Yijun could not bear to see his live in the side hall of the Peace Palace, so he changed the name of the Shouan Palace at the back of the right side of the Palace to the Peace Palace, using it as the sleeping quarters for the Empress Dowager Li.

From the beginning of the selection, Empress Dowager Li had to spend half a day in the Palace of Tzu Ning every day. When His Majesty came to pay his respects, the Empress Dowager Li would also come to the Palace of Tzu Ning in advance, so as to prevent His Majesty from having to pay his respects in two places. During the wedding ceremony, it was enough for Wang Rong and her to pay her respects to the two emperors.

However, the Empress Dowager Chen also laughed and said, "When you move to the Kunning Palace, you will have to pay respects to This Dowager and your mother and then you will have to go to two places."

"That is what I should do." Wang Rong He said.

"Yesterday afternoon, I was supposed to accept the imperial concubine's regards. Why did His Imperial Majesty suddenly say that he wanted to wait until today?" Empress Dowager Li asked.

"Your Majesty had political affairs yesterday, the last wife paid her respects to the Empress for the first time. Your Majesty being absent isn't appropriate, just say that it was pushed to today." Wang Rong He said.

"What is so important about politics? His Majesty has only gotten married. This Dowager feels that her servant should have a look in his eyes in the next seven days. Don't come and disturb the Empress and His Majesty. " Empress Dowager Chen laughed.

"Politics is more important." On the other hand, Empress Dowager Li said, "You are the empress, you have to use your body as an example. If there's a concubine pestering His Majesty into disregarding political affairs, you have to also be punished."

"Your son will receive his teachings." Wang Rong He said.

Returning to the Jiaotai Palace, Wulv changed her shoes and said, "Esteemed Empress Dowager is kind and amiable, Esteemed Empress Dowager is too serious when you look at him." Wulv said softly. She was young, and Wang Rong didn't care about her personality.

"Be quiet." Wuyou carried the tea over and looked at her with a frown. "The palace is not the palace, so you shouldn't say anything that would implicate the Empress."

Wulv felt a little wronged, "My voice is already soft."

"Wulv knows her limits." "If I am only a concubine now, you must all be careful with your tails between your legs."

When it was lunchtime, Zhu Yijun did not come over. Zhang Cheng came over to say that the Emperor was in Qianqing Palace discussing matters with Zhang Shuang Cai, and had asked him to stay for lunch with him.

"As long as Your Majesty is willing to use it." Wang Rong He said.

The warden thought that he had understood Wang Ronghe's taste, but it seemed that he had overdone it. All thirty-eight dishes were of the Jiang-Zhe cuisine and were sweet, sour, and light in taste. Li Gong had personally picked the young eunuch for the banquet. The young eunuch for the banquet had to be delicate and pretty, and eat the fragrance of the dish or else the Empress would lose her appetite. He quietly stood at the side and waited upon her. At the current stage, he just needed to listen and ponder over it. Only by experiencing the Empress's preferences could he serve him better.

Wuyou could be considered to understand Wang Rong's preferences very well. With regards to all the dishes, the rest of the palace maid s did not go forward, and Wuyou was stunned after picking up four to five plates of dishes.

"Get me a bowl of stewed rice." Wang Rong He said, "I ate a bit too much this morning and haven't digested it yet."

Li Gong had already thought things through when Wuyou stopped. It looks like today's dishes were not suitable for the Empress's appetite. Wuyou had been serving the Empress since he was young. They all understood the Empress' preferences the most, perhaps even more than the Empress herself.

After a while, Zhang Cheng came back again. It turned out that Zhu Yijun had rewarded six dishes to Wang Rong He while they were eating. For these six dishes, he had to set up an incense table to welcome them again. The process was very complicated, so much so that Wang Rong didn't have any appetite to sit down, but Zhang Cheng was still there. He had to watch Wang Rong and eat the dishes given by the emperor, then smile and say it was delicious, before returning to report.

Wuyou carefully placed the six bestowed dishes into the plate. Fortunately, she was well versed in the art of cloth cooking, and was able to look good on the plate, but the actual amount was not enough to make Wang Rong unable to eat. When Zhang Cheng was about to return to report, Wang Rong He called out to him, "Are there any squirrel fish in His Majesty's diet today?"

"I still haven't seen him." Zhang Cheng said.

"I have a cinnamon squirrel fish here. His Majesty had mentioned it at dinner yesterday, saying that it wants to eat. Hurry and carry it over, His Majesty can still eat something warm." Wang Rong He said.

Zhang Cheng had never experienced the situation of returning to take back the dishes he gifted His Majesty before, but thinking back to when the Empress was still Imperial Consort Candidate, he had a lot of things to do with his majesty. Furthermore, the Empress was now the empress, so it should be fine for his wife to send food to his husband.

Zhu Yijun saw him carry the dishes over, and was a little confused: "What's the situation? "She won't eat it?"

"No, Esteemed wangfei received the dish from His Majesty and ate it immediately. She ate it very happily." Zhang Cheng said, "Empress said that today's dish of squirrel cinnamon was extremely good. Thinking that His Majesty had said yesterday that he wanted to eat it, I decided to present it to Your Majesty."

"Did I say I wanted to eat squirrel cinnamon fish?" Zhu Yijun hesitantly asked himself in a low voice. Did he say such a thing yesterday? Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Cheng to bring the dishes over, and then said to Zhang Juzheng, "The Empress has just gotten married, and has some thoughts on the part of her little daughter. She doesn't know what it is that we want, but she will naturally ask someone to make it for her, and would even eagerly send it over."

"The empress being harmonious is a blessing in disguise." Zhang Juzheng stroked his beard and said.

After Zhang Cheng left, Wang Rong He called for his to withdraw his meal, she leaned on the brick bed, and had Wuyou send her the scalp. When he was at home, she would go to bed to rest for a bit, but it was obviously impossible now.

Besides, he had to meet with the Imperial Consort this afternoon.

When the palace concubines arrived outside the Kunning Palace, Zhu Yijun still hadn't come. Princess Rong and others should go and urge them to sit inside the Jiaotai Palace, not saying that they should go to the Kunning Palace first, nor should they allow the palace concubines to enter the Kunning Palace first. However, she had also sent someone to inform the Imperial Lower Consort Yang that His Majesty had not arrived yet.

Zhu Yijun hurried over, and the two went to the Kunning Palace. After sitting in the hall, they started to summon the imperial concubines that had already been waiting outside for a while to enter the hall.

Although the August sun was not scorching, after standing under the sunlight for three-quarters of an hour, the bridesmaids who were originally dressed extravagantly were in a somewhat sorry state. Imperial Lower Consort Yang was the leader of one group, while the concubine in the palace was in front of the other. Yang and Liu stood tall and straight as they stared straight ahead. Among the beauties behind them, most of them were unsteady, their gazes flurried.

"Our empress has really put on a good show."

While waiting for the concubine to come in, Zhu Yijun took a sip of tea. "We discussed the situation with the head assistant about how to push through the same whip technique and momentarily forgot the time, causing Zitong to wait for a long time."

"It's nothing much for me to sit and wait in the hall. It's just that it's a bit difficult for them to wait outside the hall." Wang Rong covered her mouth and laughed, "Who knows, you might even think that I was trying to establish my might."

"If the Imperial Consort Guo is not here, no one would have the guts to do so." Zhu Yijun also laughed and said, "Imperial Consort Guo has made a mistake. We have punished her to be confined in the palace for half a year, you will not be able to see her today."

"It's alright, I've seen it before in the palace." Wang Rong He said.

"She's not a bad person. It's just that she has a straightforward character, so she doesn't take pleasure in taking care of her mother." Zhu Yijun said.

"Straightforward? To what extent? If you don't respect me, can I discipline her? " Wang Rong He said.

"Of course you can. You're the empress." Zhu Yijun asked curiously.

"Even if it's the empress, she can't be punished as she pleases. She still has to consider the emperor's feelings." Wang Rong whispered.

Under the eunuch's report, the imperial concubines entered in a line and kowtowed to him in respect, calling him "Long live His Majesty" and "Long live empress".

"Rise." Zhu Yijun said.

The oldest one here is the noble concubine, the first woman of the emperor, who soon lost her favor. However, with her seniority, she was promoted to the throne, and with her gentle appearance, she seemed to be at peace with the world, "Finally, I hope for the empress to enter the palace. Otherwise, if there isn't a mistress in this palace, it really makes one feel at a loss of what to do."
