Zhu Yijun sat at the imperial table, allowing Wang Rong and the others to bring a chair over to sit in front of him. The table was extremely wide, enough for two people to sit at. Wang Rong looked at Zhu Yijun's office, "Then what should I do?"
"Reading books, writing is fine." Zhu Yijun said, "Why don't you show us your paper money?"
"The imperial harem cannot engage in politics." Wang Rong He said. When Zhang Cheng came over and asked his if he wanted to eat, she was shocked. When he looked up, Zhu Yijun was no longer looking at the paper, but was holding his head, looking at her.
Her eyes were filled with seriousness.
Wang Rong became bashful. "What is His Majesty looking at?"
Zhu Yijun withdrew his gaze in satisfaction, but did not answer, and held Wang Rong's hand for a meal. Zhu Yijun intentionally touched Wang Rong's finger, and regretfully said: "So it turns out that you really listen to music every day."
"What did His Majesty think I was doing?" Wang Rong asked.
"I thought you were learning the zither." Zhu Yijun said. After all, under normal circumstances, he wanted Wang Rong to play the zither for him, so shouldn't Wang Rong learn from him?
"Since Your Majesty wants to listen to Erhu, you can summon me here for a bit." Wang Rong He said. If she wanted to learn the zither, she had.
The emperor's meals were placed together with the empress's meals. Other than the difference in quantity, there didn't seem to be any other differences.
"For the empress." Zhu Yijun said.
Wang Rong He only ate a few bites before stopping. Zhu Yijun asked if it was because he found the food unpalatable, "You should eat less tonight." Wang Rong He said.
"I think you look really good when your face is round." Zhu Yijun said.
"His Majesty said that I'm not good-looking now?" Wang Rong He said.
"Would you believe me if I said I wasn't good-looking?" Didn't you just choose the one you like to listen to? " Zhu Yijun laughed.
Wang Rong made a gesture to leave, but Zhu Yijun quickly pulled her back, "It's good, it's good, it's really good."
When Wang Rong and her first time coming to Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yijun took her to look around, just like how he had initially brought her to take a spin at the Kunning Palace, going around the place immediately. Seeing the golden dragon bed, Wang Rong was about to leave, but Zhu Yijun quickly carried her and ran towards the bed.
Wang Rong struggled, but Zhu Yijun suppressed her, not allowing her to move. The difference in strength between men and women was still quite large, Wang Rong was struggling until her hair was in a mess, but she was still unable to struggle free. Zhu Yijun had also spent a lot of effort, thus Wang Rong and the others were always on yoga, which made her stronger than most women. What do you always do? " Zhu Yijun said in dissatisfaction. To make a move twice is fun, but to make a move more is disrespectful.
Wang Rong gasped for breath, and finally whispered, "First let's change the bedding."
Zhu Yijun did not understand at first, but after he understood, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. "We have other things to do as concubines.
Zhu Yijun laughed a little proudly, as expected, he was still feeling satisfied. "Your Majesty, please let me get up and remove the hairpin."
"This Emperor will help you unload it." Zhu Yijun said.
One Night Pearl shone on the dragon bed as the phoenix flew to Wu Mountain.
When Zhu Yijun left for the morning assembly on the second day, Wang Rong and the rest quickly went back to the Kunning Palace and changed their outfits. The palace concubine had long been waiting for this moment as Beauty Sun was sent into the Qianqing Palace and sent back exactly as she was sent. Now that you look at me and I look at you, even if I don't say anything, I'm still thinking about what the empress will say to Beauty Sun today.
Sun Yige's handkerchief was almost crushed in her hands, but her face still had a faint smile.
The empress dowager did not wait for the empress to arrive. Aunt Mei came over and said, "It's already too late for the Empress to go to the Palace of Tzu Ning today. It's already too late for us to meet the esteemed ladies now. Esteemed Empress, please go back."
"Your concubine, wait here until the Empress returns." "It's a rule to pay respects to the empress everyday. The Empress Dowager pays her respects to the empress dowager every day. How could concubines dare to return first?"
"Mei Dong went into the hall to ask for instructions, and when he came out, he led the imperial concubines to sit in the Warm Western Pavilion." Then may the various esteemed ladies wait here for a moment. "
Wang Rong and the others who had just left Ci'an Palace did not even have time to catch their breath. There was still a group of people waiting for her at the Western Warm Pavilion to receive them. Wang Rong smiled warmly and said that she didn't change her clothes first, but went to pay her respects to the empress dowager instead. A phoenix coronet, a red dress, and not a single person with a single piece of jade. With all of the items tied around their waists and the beads of pearl hanging from their necks, their smiles were even more standard than usual.
"Concubine pays her respects to empress." The concubines greeted everyone on behalf of their leader.
"Get up." Wang Rong He said, "I woke up late today, so I had to trouble everyone to sit here for a long time."
"The Empress has worked hard to serve His Majesty." The concubine said.
In terms of Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yijun could be said to have woken up half an hour later than his. Adding to that, after he had recovered her Kunning Palace, she did not have any clothes that she had changed for at all on Qianqing Palace, which was why it was delayed so easily.
"The autumn is getting hotter and hotter, and sooner or later, the temperature will drop. Little Sisters, you have to take care of it in front of your own heart. Don't catch a cold anymore." Wang Rong He said, and did not continue his noble concubine's words. "I don't care if you serve His Majesty! Fortunately, you're in trouble, there's no reason for you to pry into my affairs." In any case, Ann was mostly talking about the weather.
"I thank the Empress for her concern." Yang Jingru said. "The Empress looked tired. I will take my leave first, and the Empress will take a good rest."
"I haven't eaten since the morning so it's useless for all of you. Accompany me for a meal before returning." Wang Rong He said. This was the first time she had left her imperial concubine to eat at the Kunning Palace.
The palace maid quickly arranged the dining tables, and then led Wang Rong and the empress to go there. Wang Rong and the imperial concubine sat alone on the throne, while the rest of the concubines sat on the round table, "You've made the decision too suddenly, it's just a common household matter, don't complain about me when you return." Wang Rong said with a smile.
The imperial concubines all laughed and said how could they? They only dispersed after a meal.
From the start, Wang Rong and this special concubine had been waiting for her to wake up with this special concubine after leaving the Kunning Palace. She was the empress, so did she need to give a special explanation? If she were to intercept His Majesty, he would have to cut his beard. Do you still need me to explain anything to you? You don't even have a place to scold people in private.
She is the Empress, the wife of His Majesty.
As for the rest, she could only look at Sun Yige sympathetically. This time, she could only accept it this way.
At first, Beauty Sun did not think much of it. On the contrary, she was annoyed by such a gaze.
After two or three days, Zhu Yijun said that he wanted to go to the Kunning Palace in the afternoon. Zhang Cheng smiled as he went out, but when he returned, his expression was a little forced, "Your majesty, Esteemed Empress Dowager said to let her majesty benefit greatly.
Zhu Yijun was startled. What do you mean? You don't want us to go to the Kunning Palace? "
Zhang Cheng lowered his head, not daring to speak.
"Whose idea?" Zhu Yijun asked.
"It was the empress dowager's decision." Zhang Cheng said like a mosquito.
"Your Majesty, the empress dowager has brought the palace maid here to deliver the snacks." Feng Shang entered the hall to report and saw Zhang Cheng kneeling and looked at him a few more times.
"Today, the kitchens of the Tzu Ning Palace made pecan pie. The Esteemed Empress Dowager remembered that the Emperor likes this, so he asked this servant to bring some over."
Zhu Yijun stared at her with his pretty eyes. palace maid walked to the side of the emperor calmly and put down his dessert, then raised his head and whispered, "The empress dowager thinks that it is inappropriate for the empress to stay in Qianqing Palace for such a long time."
Zhu Yijun grabbed the teacup beside him and threw it. With a clear sound, all the servants inside and outside the hall knelt down, "Your majesty, please calm your anger."
Wang Rong was learning how to draw lotus flowers, every stroke was very serious, but the finished product was not as good as expected, the red pigment was smeared all over in a ball, and as she broke through the outline of the lotus petals, she turned into a monster of color. Wang Rong made a 'tsk' sound, which was completely different from what Yang Jingru had said to her. However, there was no point in making such a mistake. Thus, he drew the lines of the petals on the bottom of the lotus for a second before transforming the lotus into a peony.
Wang Rong He looked at it for a long time and felt that he was still talented, so he couldn't help but be very satisfied. He wrote a 1 on the bottom of the drawing, preparing to put it away after it was dried.
When Hibiscus saw Wang Ronghe, she wore a troubled expression. "If there's something you want to say, just say it." Wang Rong He said.
"Empress, the fact that Your Majesty came to Kunning Palace today was rejected by Esteemed Empress Dowager." "According to what Hong Li said, the empress dowager was dissatisfied with Esteemed Empress' long time in Qianqing Palace."
Wang Rong He turned his head to look at Hibiscus, who lowered her head even lower, not daring to look at him. Wang Rong He laughed, "Speaking of Hong Li, I suddenly recalled that Xing'er went back to the palace first, why haven't I seen her at Kunning Palace? This is the little girl that Madam Hou specially gave me, but I can't take my time. "
"When Hui Lan and Xing'er returned to the palace, the Palace Manager Bureau thought that they weren't to be liked by the Empress and didn't arrange for them to be taken to the Kunning Palace. Xing'er was originally assigned to a tea house in the Qianqing Palace, but was later asked to be taken over by the Ci'an Palace." Fleur lowered her head and said.
"It's also very good for the empress. I assume Madam Hou won't blame me for that." Wang Rong He said. She rolled up the painting. "Let Miaomiao come and help me with my makeup."
"Yes." Fleur said.
The rest was unadorned, and only a cloud shaped jade-like face was plastered on the center of her forehead. She had changed to a big red, round neck gold-weaving bat jacket and a yellow gold phoenix striped pleated skirt, and was properly dressed. Wang Rong He then said, "Go to Qianqing Palace."
The empress dowager rejected His Majesty's request to come to Kunning Palace today in order to beat up the Empress, so why did the Empress have to go to Qianqing Palace instead? Wasn't this adding fuel to the fire and provoking others in public? "The Empress wants to go to the Qianqing Palace, and even if she doesn't wear a formal attire, she still needs to wear Yan Juetian's attire. The Empress's current attire can be worn in private, but if she comes before the imperial palace, it would be disrespectful."
"I wear it like this if I like. His Majesty won't care about that." Wang Rong Wen said that even the common clothes were layers within and layers within, he was wearing an exhausting outfit. "If Your Majesty cares, I'll change it next time."
When Wang Rong and the others finally sat on the chariot and walked towards the Qianqing Palace, they were so anxious that their faces were completely red. He pulled Wuyou over, "Hurry up and persuade the Empress Dowager, if she goes to the Qianqing Palace at this time, won't she be provoking the Empress Dowager?"
The brainless words caused Wuyou to frown, but she glanced at Wang Rong and said to Furong, "The Empress has made the decision in her heart that no one else can make a move against her. If you say something bad about it, then the Empress naturally knows. If you know that you still have to do it, then the Empress has no choice but to do it.
Zhu Yijun was fuming inside the hall, while the empress was coming over, Zhu Yijun stood up immediately, "Hurry and call me in." They didn't even have the time to sit still and wait for her. They hastily went outside and met at the entrance of the hall.
Wang Rong and Fortune bowed, but Zhu Yijun held her hand and did not let her bow, "Why are you here?" There were many surprises in the voice.
"I was taking a nap and dreamt that His Majesty was missing me, so I came over." Wang Rong said with a smile.
Zhu Yijun held Wang Rong and turned two rounds. This dream of yours is right and proper. I have missed you. "
Wang Rong then pressed her hand on Zhu Yijun's shoulder condescendingly, "I drew a peony today, so I brought it here specifically to let your majesty appraise it."
"Is that so?" Zhu Yijun said, upon seeing Wang Rong and her previous depression, no matter if it was a coincidence or god's will, Wang Rong had gained a lot of courage by coming to his side. Her Majesty wanted to control him. Well, go and control him, how long can you control him? Can you control everything again? If the mountain doesn't come to me, then I will go to the mountain. Could it be that you can still send down the imperial decree tomorrow to prevent the empress from coming to Qianqing Palace?
Zhu Yijun brought Wang Rong and went to the Inner Palace to sit. The trembling palace maid heard His Majesty's laughter and relaxed, and he could not help but thank the empress in his heart. Only Zhang Cheng was a little worried. empress's arrival was too coincidental at this time, as she was afraid that Esteemed Empress Dowager thought it was deliberate, or there would be more ripples later on.
Zhu Yijun opened Wang Rong's picture scroll, and after a moment of silence, "Zitong, why did you open the peony in the water?"
"It's not in the water. Who picked it and threw it into the water? Let's see how it goes." Wang Rong explained with a serious expression.
"But there is a pole under this peony? There's even a lotus leaf floating there. " Zhu Yijun said again.
Wang Rong remained silent as Zhu Yijun put down the portrait, "Did you paint a lotus flower and when it gets wider in color, it becomes a peony?" After saying that, he looked at Wang Rong He's face and quickly changed the topic, "This peony is very good, and its conception is also very good, there's no way for it to fall … Those are all petals, so the flowers and others would not be able to help it, but throw such a big peony into the water, making it seem even more imposing, it's not because it cannot control itself, but because it is asking for mercy."
Wang Rong revealed a smile. "How can it be as exaggerated as what His Majesty said?"
"Alright, I just trembled a little bit when I was applying color, so I drew a few more petals. Later on, it didn't look like a lotus flower, so I added another petal and transformed it into a peony." Wang Rong He said. I really don't think I have the talent to paint. "
"Yes, why not? I think it's pretty good." Zhu Yijun said. He didn't even realize that it was very easy for him to become me in front of Wang Rong and not me. You drew it pretty well with charcoal. This is already your first time drawing it with paint and it's already pretty good. After all, I can see that it's a flower. "
It was as if they were under the starry sky, with Wang Rong and her pillow on Zhu Yijun's shoulder. "Unless it's His Majesty that doesn't allow me to come to Qianqing Palace, no one can stop me from coming to see Your Majesty."
This was the reason why she would come even if she were to contradict the Empress Dowager.
No matter what, the empress and the king would always stand on one side. She hoped that Zhu Yijun would know this.
