This morning, Wang Rong helped Zhu Yijun to tidy up his belt, "If Your Majesty isn't busy with political affairs today, you should come back early and take me to visit the Kunning Palace. This is the place I want to stay in in in the future."
"Sure." Zhu Yijun said.
They waited until they had lunch together and rested for a while before they departed for the Kunning Palace.
In the classics of morality there is a cloud, in the past there is a clear sky, in the earth there is peace, in God there is a spirit, in all things there is a life, the marquis there and the world is righteous. So the emperor's chambers were called Qianqing Palace and the empress's chambers were called Kunning Palace. They were the only places in the world.
The Kunning Palace s were nine wide, and they opened the door in the middle. There was a warm pavilion in the middle, and a servant lived in the Eastern Warm Pavilion. The east and west rooms were for corridors. There were a total of seven rooms, and the seven rooms were divided into three units. Each unit consisted of two to four rooms.
"Such a large hall. It's really scary to live alone." So far, she had only been to the main hall to see the second wife and the second wife, Wang Rong, who had seen all the inner rooms, sighed with emotion.
"Zitong wants us to accompany you more?" Zhu Yijun laughed.
"No matter how big the house is, I only need to sleep so little. palace maid is lying on the bed, I don't need to be afraid." Wang Rong He said.
"Behind the Kunning Palace, there is a veranda known as the amusement park, which is connected to the Gonghou Garden. If you have nothing else to do, you can go take a walk." Zhu Yijun said, "How are the furnishings inside?"
"Fresh and refined, and also luxurious and luxurious, without losing any status. I wonder who set it up for you, you should be rewarded." Wang Rong said, "I've also heard quite clearly about my preferences. The study room is my favorite setting, and these decorations are also my favorite ones."
"I like elegance, but I also like vulgarity. I like purity, but I also like flowers that look like brocades. I like leaving white marks on the ground, and I also like the crowded and lively atmosphere here." Wang Rong He said, "I like it when I look at it from here, but I also like it when I look at it from there." Everything has been arranged just right. Even if I were to personally arrange it, it would only end up in this state. "
"It's really that good." Zhu Yijun laughed, "Then what are you prepared to give him?"
"Let's see what he wants." Wang Rong He said. "Even though the Rain Dew of Thunder is a kind gesture, but his way of doing things is so good that he can choose the taste of the Rain Dew he likes."
"I'll think about it." Zhu Yijun said, "After you learn the zither, play one for me. "Otherwise, when the moon sets and I see you pulling your leg, I always feel that the atmosphere isn't right."
"Could it be that all of this is set up by His Majesty?" Wang Rongzhi pretended to be surprised as her eyes flashed with tears of excitement. "His Majesty is too good to me; I have no way to repay him."
"It can still be repaid." Zhu Yijun said, "For example, you can give birth to a prince for us."
Zhu Yijun carried Wang Rong and walked behind the curtain. The brand-new bedding gave off a new scent, causing Wang Rong to smile as she looked at Zhu Yijun. However, in her heart, she was thinking about how long this person had held back before their marriage and how he had been unable to control himself for the past few days. If you see a place you can lie in, you have to push it down.
He had been too careless. He had known that he would be resting in the outer room.
"Then, Your Majesty, do you want me to learn the zither, or the prince?" Wang Rong Yun purposely asked.
"An arrow on a bow, do you want a prince or a zither?" Zhu Yijun bumped into Wang Rong through his clothes.
After that, the wind blew and the clouds flipped. The rain fell in the morning, so you and I didn't need to explain it in detail.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Rong and Zhu Yijun were about to be moved out of the Jiaotai Palace. Zhu Yijun would go for the Qianqing Palace, and Wang Rong and Zhu Yijun would go for the Kunning Palace.
There was a head aunt, three Great palace maid s, ten ordinary palace maid s, a head eunuch, and six young eunuchs. On the first day that Wang Rong and the others officially entered Kunning Palace, all the eunuchs and eunuchs of palace maid knelt down to pay their respects.
Wang Rong shouted, "Since you have already entered the Kunning Palace, you are just a person of the Kunning Palace. As long as my actions are in accordance with the rules and I am faithful to my duty, the rest are not strict and do whatever you want, but if you do anything wrong, I will not cover for you."
"This entire palace is filled with people from all over the empire, all staring at our Kunning Palace. I think that you all do not wish to act rashly, discredit the Kunning Palace, and cause trouble for me." Wang Rong He said, "If you guys had any other intentions, I would've thought that you guys would've made a mistake and been sent out of Kunning Palace. I can't stand the sand in my eyes."
"This servant dares not." It was the same below.
"Aunt Mei is in charge of the palace maid and Li Gong is in charge of the eunuch. Since I have asked you two to take care of her, then you two better take care of her properly. If any of the servants makes a mistake, you two will be punished, or even punished twice over." Wang Rong He said, "If you don't have the confidence, you can ask me to leave."
"This subject will not disappoint the Empress."
"This little one will not disappoint the Empress." Mei Dong and Li Gong said at the same time.
"Just do what you're rewarded to do." Wang Rong He said. Wuyou and Xi Tao stood up and carried the tray out. Hibiscus and Wulv handed out the lotus pouches one by one, waited until everyone had one, and then thanked the Empress for the rewards.
Wang Rong was sitting in the East Warm Pavilion, admiring the little Six Fans Pot Viridescent Bird Kang Ping. "Empress, is His Majesty coming today?"
"It's normal for him to come, and it's normal for him to not come." Wang Rong He said. As she said this, she didn't realize in the slightest that there were several more procedures that needed to be followed for the emperor to see him once he moved from Jiaotai Palace to Kunning Palace.
Zhu Yijun returned after settling some political affairs at the Huangji Hall. "Go and take a look at the Kunning Palace.
"Your Majesty should return to the Qianqing Palace first. Wait for this lowly one to report to the Esteemed Empress Dowager, then notify the Kunning Palace to receive you." The Feng Shang said.
"Why should we report this to the Esteemed Empress Dowager when we are going to the Kunning Palace?" Zhu Yijun did not understand.
"This is the rules of the imperial harem. If Your Majesty wishes to see the Empress, report to her and the Empress Dowager. When the Empress Dowager agrees, she has to notify the Kunning Palace to receive you. The Kunning Palace to receive you is not as simple as just receiving an ordinary imperial concubine. Feng Shang explained in detail.
"The same rules as before?" Zhu Yijun said, he thought, why is it that the emperor sees the empress, and there's so much other things, do you want the emperor to get closer to the empress, or not?
Someone had long since come to inform Wang Rong and his Majesty that they were about to arrive. The Empress prepared to receive them, and Wang Rong used her hand to support the hairpin on her head. "Alright."
"Esteemed Empress, you have to receive the carriage in formal attire." Zhang Cheng said that he had accompanied the emperor to stay at the Jiaotai Palace, and naturally knew of the royalty's arbitrariness in welcoming guests, so he specially asked for this errand to remind the Empress. Otherwise, the latter would all be dressed in formal attire to welcome guests outside the hall, and the empress would be dressed in formal attire to welcome guests.
"Dress." Wang Rong He said, "Is there someone else?" After all, no one had asked her to put on her clothes when she received them at the Jiaotai Palace.
"At that time, the emperors of the imperial harem will come as well, to welcome you in front of the palace." Zhang Cheng said.
"What are they doing here?" Wang Rong said in a strange manner.
"The empress dowager came to welcome Your Majesty, Lady Lucky. After receiving the empress, everyone will return to the palace." Zhang Cheng said.
"There's such a rule?" Wang Rong smiled, saying that this was the way to show the majesty of the empress. But for the harem to compete for favors, the empress was always weak. If there were one or two emperors that the empress dowager liked and threw a blind eye to, the emperor would probably spend her days at the Kunning Palace like a year and would be out to visit her beloved concubine in a few breaths.
"His Majesty has come to see the Empress because he has a great influence and also because of the dignity of the Heavenly Clan." Zhang Cheng said.
"I understand, thank you eunuch Zhang for your reminder." Wang Rong said with a smile.
After Zhang Cheng left, Li Gong came in and reported, "Originally, there is a rule, but not every emperor follows it. Those that like the empress can go whenever they want, those that don't like the empress can come in every ten days or half a month to pass the time, those who come according to this rule can come as well."
"But it seems that we can't rely on His Majesty's preferences to change this rule." Li Gong said honestly, "This emperor's first procedure to see the Empress is to report to Esteemed Empress Dowager. If Esteemed Empress Dowager says so, then His Majesty can come to Peace Palace, but if Esteemed Empress Dowager says it can't be done, then His Majesty can't come to Peace Palace."
"I understand." Wang Rong He said.
After Li Gong left, Wulv obviously did not understand. The Esteemed Empress Dowager seemed to like the Empress very much. Why did she insist on such a rule? Could it be the Empress Dowager Chen? "
"Esteemed Empress Dowager, one is Esteemed Empress Dowager, and the two of you are also Esteemed Empress Dowager. No matter how they discuss in private, outsiders will always be Esteemed Empress Dowager. This matter is related to the Empress, not only to the Empress Dowager Chen, but also to something that the Empress Dowager Li alone can decide. " Wang Rong immediately thought of the crux of the problem as she shook her head and laughed, "Even if Empress Dowager Li likes me, it won't stop her from getting her to use me as a test to make her daughter-in-law obedient."
"If I don't listen, I won't let His Majesty see me." Wang Rong He said.
At noon, the sun was high in the sky. The empress dowager was wearing formal attire as she stood outside the hall to dry her body. Her sweat could not be stopped, but no one dared to wipe it off.
"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived." The sound of firecrackers could be heard outside Kun Ning's door. Wang Rong walked out from the main hall and stood in the shade of the sun, not even bothering to walk to the corridor.
The ceremony began.
Zhu Yijun's bright yellow chariot entered from the Kunning Sect.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." The empress dowager knelt down in unison.
Zhu Yijun alighted from the chariot and stood by the side of Wang Rong who half knelt down: "Greetings, your majesty the Emperor."
"Escort, rise." Zhu Yijun helped Wang Rong up, and then the other wives stood up as well.
The party came to an end.
Zhu Yijun held onto Wang Rong He's arm and walked into the hall. Only after the empress's figure had disappeared did Aunt Mei come out from her Kunning Palace. "Ladies, please go back."
The second concubine divided into two columns and went out in series. A concubine or concubine could not ride a chariot in the palace, and all of them had to walk back to the palace. Beauty Sun pressed the handkerchief against her forehead, "Our empress is really impressive."
"This is an ancestral rule, what does it have to do with the Empress's might?" The Imperial Lower Consort Liu said, "I think if the Empress could, she wouldn't want us to go to the Kunning Palace to help welcome her."
"How could we possibly meet the Son of Heaven and go to the Kunning Palace to welcome him? At any rate, we have met with the Adept." The Imperial Lower Consort Liu said, "If you are unwilling, you can ask for an illness to wake up the next time you summon me. The Empress will definitely not blame you."
Beauty Sun said in embarrassment, "I am not sick, why should I be? I have a sincere heart towards Your Majesty and the Empress, as the heavens and earth can see." How could Sun Xue not know about Kunning Palace? She was tired, and at least she would be able to see the face of the heavens.
Because of the empress's wedding, His Majesty had not been to the imperial harem for a month.
Today was the eighth day, and tomorrow, no matter what, the emperor would come to the harem. If he were to perform well at Kunning Palace, the empress might let someone else serve him.
When empress was not around, the green card was chosen by the eunuch. When the empress was present, the green card was chosen by the empress and then allowed to be chosen by the Emperor.
Sun Mei suddenly realized that the empress was someone who held power in the palace. She was the empress, not some Imperial Noble Consort, a woman who was favored by the emperor, the rights granted to her by family law and etiquette, the supreme rights in the harem. She didn't even need to fight with anyone for the favor of the emperor. If she were to make a move, she wouldn't even be able to meet His Majesty. What was there to fight for? She had already foolishly offended the empress twice.
Beauty Sun's face turned green.
Zhu Yijun and Wang Rong entered the palace with bad expressions.
"Your Majesty, I shouldn't be too happy about this, right? Why is Your Majesty so unhappy as well? Could it be that Your Majesty feels the same way as me?" After the palace maid served tea, Wang Rong waved her hand to tell them to wait outside the hall.
"If I want to see my queen and get the approval of others, what else can I do?" "What is it that This Emperor can grasp?" Zhu Yijun shouted.
"It's not anyone else, it's the Esteemed Empress Dowager." Wang Rong He said, "I feel that this matter is only because the Esteemed Empress Dowager wants to be my wager, so I think that since His Majesty can come to see me, you should be obedient."
