It was already too late for Zhu Yijun to eat lunch. He asked Zhang Cheng while eating, "Has the empress eaten yet?" The palace's main meal was breakfast, and it was already half the morning before breakfast. The rest of the meal was snacks, but they were not as formal as breakfast, that is to say, there was no need for ceremonial music.

"Yes." Zhang Cheng said, "The crabmeat that His Majesty ordered me to make yesterday was offered to the Empress today. The Empress said that it will taste the same as my hometown." He could not ask personally, so he greeted Li Gong and sent the young eunuch over to ask everyday. That way, when His Majesty asks, he will be able to answer.

"Is that so?" Zhu Yijun said as he looked at his table, "Why is it that I don't have any?"

"This servant will get the Shang Guan Tang to send it over immediately." Zhang Cheng said.

The young eunuch practically flew to Shang Guan's room, where he heard that His Majesty wanted to eat crab sauce, so he slapped his head, "Yesterday, I steamed crabs, peeled crab, and wasted a long time before I managed to make one out. I've even sent one to Kunning Palace, so how can I change now? This is not something that can be done on the spot. "

"Then what should we do? Your majesty is still waiting. " The eunuch said anxiously.

"It was delivered to the Kunning Palace. The Empress won't finish it so quickly, will she?" "The eunuch from the food prison said." He was the one who gave the Empress's meals to Xi Tao during the Kunning Palace. Xi Tao is now the Great palace maid of the Kunning Palace. "

The Great Eunuch, the chief overseer of the Shang Dynasty, called Little Bean over, and the three of them hurriedly rushed towards Kunning Palace. Xi Tao was called out, "Silence, the Empress is taking a nap."

"I beg Miss Xi Tao to save me." The fat eunuch hurriedly bowed and said.

Xi Tao listened to what he said and when she finished, she remained expressionless. She just said wait a moment, and Xi Tao went to Wuyou to tell him Shang farewells' intentions. Wuyou nodded, "Since Her Majesty wants to use it, then quickly send it over."

Xi Tao brought out the crabmeat, but Shang Guan never expected it to go so smoothly. After thanking him a million times, he carried the crabmeat out to the Qianqing Palace, and Zhang Cheng brought it over to Zhu Yijun to choose a taste.

"It's not as delicious as the empress says." After Zhu Yijun tasted it, "According to what the empress said, it should be an supreme delicacy.

"From the mouth of the Empress, even a single vegetable sounds like immortal grass." Zhang Cheng laughed carefully.

"That's true. I have never seen anyone who likes to eat more than she does. " Zhu Yijun said, "There's even crab paste in the marriage ceremony. "Don't tell me that I'm worried that once we reach the Imperial Palace, I'll starve her to death?"

"From now on, Kunning Palace's teahouse will definitely not only be used for brewing tea. Go and tell Shang Guan that you will be sending a portion of fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, shrimp, and crabs to Kunning Palace every day. There is no need for too much." Zhu Yijun said. "The empress can do whatever she wants to eat. If there's not enough examples, please leave from my list."

"Yes." Zhang Cheng said.

When Zhang Cheng came out, the fat eunuch, who was still in charge of food, whose head was covered in sweat, saw him, he went up to him and bowed, "Eunuch Zhang, has His Majesty used it well?"

"You guys didn't come straight from the Shang Cuisine prison when you spent this much time, did you?" Zhang Cheng doubted.

"I can't hide it from Eunuch Zhang's Fiery Eyes of Truth." The fat eunuch laughed, "Yesterday, I made such a can and sent it to the Kunning Palace today. His Majesty suddenly asked for it, and this is not something that can be obtained just by saying it.

Zhang Cheng pointed at them, "Then what will empress eat?"

"We'll do it when we get back. When I came out, I had the crab steamed. It's mainly because I didn't know that the crab was cooked in a way that suited the Empress's taste, so I didn't dare to make too many." The fat eunuch said, "Even if the crab boat comes all the way to the capital, it's still precious and cannot be wasted."

"What needs to be wasted will be wasted." Zhang Cheng said, "Quickly make them and send them over to Kunning Palace. The Empress doesn't need to eat like this, how much can be wasted."

"This time, forget it." Zhang Cheng said, "Eunuch, let me give you a hint. In the future, whenever empress feels that something good is coming, you can always prepare one or two copies without mistake. For the same reason, prepare what the Emperor likes for empress to have as well. "

"Aiyo, thank you so much for your advice, Eunuch Zhang. If it's worth it, I'll make two good dishes for you. We can talk about it for a while." the fat eunuch said.

When Zhu Yijun finished his lunch, the Feng Shang took out his Green Head Token, "Your Majesty, which mistress shall we summon to serve today?"

"Imperial Lower Consort Yang." Zhu Yijun did not look at the signboard, "Get her to prepare for driving in the afternoon, we will go take a seat."

Wang Rong He couldn't sleep for long either. In the afternoon, the palace concubine came to pay her respects. It was supposed to be morning, but Wang Yunhe had to pay his respects to the empress dowager. Ordinary concubines did not have the chance to pay their respects to the empress dowager, but rather, to kowtow outside the palace during the first fifteen years.

Wang Rong didn't say anything yesterday. Since they were in a hurry to go to the Tzu Ning Palace today, the palace concubines could only come to pay their respects in the afternoon.

This time, no one said anything impetuous about it. However, one compliment after another was not an easy time for Wang Rong. In the blink of an eye, Wang Rong He made a decision, "In the future, all sisters will come to pay their respects at three in the morning." In the morning, she had to go to the Palace of Tzu Ning to pay her respects and give them half an hour. It would be enough if they could go out after the ceremony, so she didn't have to sit and listen to their tasteless greetings.

"Enough. Go back and prepare, your majesty is going to flip the signboard today. " "" Wang Rong said with a smile. "The attendant will be passing down the order soon."

That night, Wang Rong slept alone with the first person she had ever slept with in the palace. It was not in the slightest like this bed that she had slept on for so long, as she was unable to sleep soundly. She first rolled from one side of the bed to the other, enjoyed herself to the fullest, and then slouched across the bed and fell asleep.

Sleeping, it doesn't exist.

If he slept well, he would be in good spirits. Even if he woke up at five in the morning, Wang Rong and the others wouldn't feel impatient. After doing morning yoga in bed for a while, his muscles and bones were all stretched out. After changing clothes and combing his hair, he started with porridge and snacks. He waited until Mei Dong came to report that his imperial concubines had arrived before he put on his makeup and left for the Western Warm Pavilion.

"Please take care of your daily routine in the Warm Western Pavilion. At least you have a few stools, so you can talk while sitting." empress arrived. "

Even if one's own sleeping quarters were to be passed on from the East Warm Pavilion to the West Warm Pavilion, Wang Rong felt that it was rather comical. Once she sat down on the throne in the hall, her imperial concubines would kneel down to greet her. Greetings, empress. "

"No need to stand up." Wang Rong He said. "Do it."

"Today's weather is pretty good." Wang Rong and her usual opening questions.

"After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it will be a cold autumn rain." The Imperial Lower Consort Liu said, "However, it hasn't been raining recently, so the weather will get cooler sooner or later."

"That's right, changing the season is easy for Feng Xie to invade, so I will have to buy clothes sooner or later, don't get cold." Wang Rong He said.

Because Wang Yunhe still had to pay respects to the empress dowager, even if the imperial concubines wanted to speak with her more, they wouldn't be able to. The imperial concubines lined up outside the Kunning Palace and respectfully escorted the empress's chariot to the Tzu Ning Palace before dispersing.

Wang Rong and the empress were still not concerned with anything at the moment. She did not ask, and if the Empress Mother did not say that she would be given the power of the palace, she also said that she would. However, Empress Dowager Chen's words still sounded like a test. "Queen, this harem should be under the control of the Queen. This old bones can also rest for a bit."

"Imperial Mother, your son has just entered the palace to study. If Imperial Mother didn't care about me, your son would have definitely made a mistake." Wang Rong said with a smile.

"Being in charge of the harem isn't something that anyone is born to be able to do. Of course, if you don't manage it well, there will be a lot of troublesome things to deal with." The Empress Dowager Chen laughed and said, "In the past, the harem was controlled by me and your mother. This one does want to hand over the power to you, but I don't know what kind of constitution your mother has, I just want to hand it over to you together. "

"This son will listen to Mother and mother's decisions." Wang Rong He said.

"To say that the power of the palace belongs to you is the right thing to do. If you felt that it would be a bit difficult in the beginning, it would be much easier for me to help from the side." The Empress Dowager Chen said.

The Empress Dowager Chen's meaning was for Wang Rong He to ask the Empress Dowager Li when he would hand over the power of the palace to her. Like this, regardless of whether the Empress Dowager Li handed over the authority to the palace or not, they would still feel displeased with Wang Rong and the others. Once Wang Rong and the Empress Dowager Li became suspicious of each other, who would be the one to discuss the problems that Wang Rong and the one in charge of the palace?

The Empress Dowager Chen thought well, but Wang Rong and An Ran didn't mention the word 'royal power' and just accompanied them back to the palace.

It was only natural and right for the empress to be in charge of the palace, so sooner or later Wang Rong would be in her hands.

After returning to Kunning Palace, Wang Rong took off her hat. Originally, she did not like wearing a hat, but after experiencing the convenience of a hat, she became casual again. Under the hat, the hair was tied up in a simple bun. In the hall, one did not need to wear a hat, one just used a few hairpins to decorate the hair.

"Empress, Palace Manager Cui is here." Xi Tao came over to report.

"Mm, let her in." Wang Rong He said.

Palace Manager Cui was followed by a female official, who came in holding a booklet. After greeting the Queen, Palace Manager Cui said, "This is a history book, please inspect it, Your Highness."

Wang Rong He took the letter and read it, "Yesterday, it said that His Majesty was in the Imperial Lower Consort Yang Palace and was unlucky."

Wang Rong pointed with her hand and said, "How long can I see your history?"

"All Mistresses can see it." Palace Manager Cui said. If the Empress did not seal the history, even if the concubines were lucky, they would not be able to do it. "

Wang Rong was astonished. Didn't that mean that she didn't have a seal? Even if the imperial harem served the emperor and gave birth to a child, he still wouldn't know the father.

The Queen was a good position.

Wang Rong thought, "I want to see the history of the previous few months."

"Which month does the Empress want to start?" Palace Manager Cui asked.

"It started from the month when Imperial Consort Candidate entered the Chuxiu Palace." Wang Rong He said.

"Yes." Palace Manager Cui replied, she looked back and the female official left, not long later she returned with two books. Wang Rong casually flipped through it, as though there was no pattern. In the few days that Wang Zhixi had accepted the favor, Wang Rong had obviously slowed down the frequency of flipping of books.

The Emperor and the Gonghou Garden met with Imperial Consort Candidate Wang Shi.

Wang Rong smiled.
