In the past November, great things had happened in the palace. The talented Liu Mulan found out that she was pregnant, and the Emperor was overjoyed.
When went to the rear of the hall, Liu Mulan was also a rare person who still maintained goodwill towards Wang Zhixi. However, at that time, Wang Zhixi was busy with self-blame and self-pity, and did not pay much attention to Liu Mulan. Originally, the reason why she was so close with him was because she was frank and impulsive, and even though they were so close, she could still speak up for herself if she was unable to say anything. Moreover, Liu Mu Lan was very loyal, and Wang Zhixi didn't care much about it. Later on, when she realized Liu Mu Lan's characteristics, she was always worried that she would one day cause trouble and implicate him.
The two of them walked further and further away.
However, things were unpredictable. Who would have thought that Liu Mulan, who was born in the countryside and had a wild background, would have such good luck? With just a second experience, he became the first person in the imperial harem to be pregnant with a dragon. His Majesty had been lucky enough to be pregnant with a woman for two to three years, but there were no movements in the imperial harem.
Now that Liu Mulan was pregnant, it proved that His Majesty could make a child of her own, even if the child did not end up being magnanimous. Liu Mulan went straight from being a scholar to being a concubine. With a title, she could only be a concubine. If the child was born, the concubine, the son, Liu Mulan, the son, and the spoiled Guo Fei would be in the custody of the concubine.
Thinking about it a little further, if Liu Mulan was able to give birth to the Emperor's eldest son, the Emperor's eldest son, and if the Empress had not given birth to a legitimate son, then she would be the Emperor of the future.
For a time, aside from the two palaces and the empress, the people from the harem were all jealous, jealous, and envious.
At this moment, Wang Zhixi deeply regretted her decision. However, she felt that her pride had been thwarted when she tried to make contact with Liu Mu Lan again. After all, she was just a beauty now.
There were not many high ranking imperial concubines in the palace, so the Imperial Lower Consort Lan could choose a palace to sit on as master. The Imperial Lower Consort Lan had chosen the Jingyang Palace, and currently, only Wang Zhixi resided in the Jingyang Palace.
Wang Rong didn't have any opinions, she only ordered the Palace Manager to arrange for the transfer of the palace, and for the palace maid to make proper preparations for the selection, Imperial Lower Consort Lan would do her best to satisfy all of them, and would report back to her if she was satisfied.
"Sister, please don't bear a grudge with me. Back then, at Chuxiu Palace, you and I said that we needed each other's support and that whoever that went up would be on our side."
Wang Zhixi never thought that she would say this. She had previously thought that she had specially chosen Jingyang Palace to humiliate him, after all, the little tail that followed behind her at that time was now a palace master, and she was only a small beauty. However, Liu Mulan looked at her with pure and sincere eyes. As Wang Zhixi felt ashamed for his vile heart, she pretended to do it on purpose and pressed a handkerchief to her eyes, "Empress, this means that I am ashamed of myself."
"You can't help yourself." When they were at the Chuxiu Palace, when Wang Zhixi told her that her relationship with her elder sister was not that bad, she believed it. Although later on she vaguely felt that Wang Rong and her relationship wasn't as bad as Wang Zhixi had said, so what?
Although Wang Zhixi had alienated her when she moved to the rear hall, Imperial Lower Consort Lan truly thought that what Wang Zhixi said was just so that she wouldn't implicate her. After the dust had settled, a genius and a beauty were actually separated into different palaces. How could a low-level palace concubine walk around as she pleased?
"Others only say that you are empress's sister, but you are the only one who knows how much care the Empress has given you." The Imperial Lower Consort Lan said.
When Wang Zhixi heard this, her tears flowed even faster, but she still smiled and said, "The Empress has to manage the harem, even if it's a bowl of water, I can understand if you can't take care of me."
"Even Zhou Yuting was pushed up against you by the empress. As for you, you have not been pampered even now. The Empress must be guarding against you because of your beauty. "You're the only one who is stupid enough to think that sisters love each other deeply." Imperial Lower Consort Lan said. It's a good thing that we are living together now, I have a Dragon Queen, and His Majesty would come visit us occasionally, but I am unable to accept your favors. Now that there's only you in the Jingyang Palace, you should prepare yourself. "
"Empress." Wang Zhixi said.
"There are all kinds of cloth and accessories here that empress and the Esteemed Empress Dowager have bestowed upon you. Come here and take a look, take whatever you like. Dress up properly, I must make His Majesty respect you. " Imperial Lower Consort Lan said sincerely.
"Empress, you can't." Wang Zhixi rejected, "I already know the Empress's intentions, what ability do I have to be able to meet you in this cold palace and give me the sisterhood I lack?"
"I have been living alone in this Jingyang Palace for long enough." Wang Zhixi said with tears in his eyes, "I am already very satisfied to be able to talk with you and prepare the things that Little Prince will be born with."
"You're always so kind." The Imperial Lower Consort Lan said emotionally, "When the Little Prince is born, ask him to call you Aunt. We will teach him."
"Yes." Wang Zhixi said.
Wang Rong flipped through the warehouse list, "Send these medicinal ingredients to the Jingyang Palace." Wang Rong drew an entire page of medicinal herbs with a wave of her hand.
"Esteemed Empress, isn't there a need to avoid giving medicinal ingredients?" Fleur asked.
"Avoid what?" Wang Rong He said, "These medicinal ingredients will naturally be sent over after the imperial physician has seen them. We'll have to wait for Imperial Lower Consort Lan to use them before the imperial physician can use them, too." I dare to give you medicine, for fear that someone else might mess with the medicine I give you. "
"Her family has a weak foundation. Good medicines can only be found by chance. I'll send it over to her now so that she won't be able to use it when the time comes." Wang Ronghe said, "Cloth jewelry is a new thing, it's useless to give it away."
"The Imperial Lower Consort Lan is pregnant, the Empress looks very happy." Yun Chang said.
"Of course I'm happy." Wang Ronghe said, "This is a great thing to be happy about. His Majesty has a son. "The burden on me has lightened a lot."
"Don't think that His Majesty is the only one who is nervous. The pressure from the empress is no less than from His Majesty." Wang Rong said with a smile.
"What if the Imperial Lower Consort Lan gives birth to the eldest son?" Yun Chang asked.
Wang Rong smiled. "Even if it's the eldest son of the Emperor, his mother is still me. All the children in the harem must address me as their mother. I just hope that the more children there are, the better.
When Zhu Yijun came to the Kunning Palace, Wang Rong and the others immediately called for the Imperial Lower Consort Lan to get up, "I was negligent, you have a special body now, so please don't come after the child has landed."
"Concubine, thank you for your pity." Imperial Lower Consort Lan said.
"Let's go into the Kunning Palace to rest first. We'll head back to the palace after calling the chariot." Wang Rong He said.
Zhu Yijun laughed, "Now that the Imperial Lower Consort Lan is the first place in Zitong's heart, I'm about to step down."
Wang Rong said as she grabbed onto Zhu Yijun's hand. She smiled and said, "She's still at the entrance of the palace. The second imperial concubine hasn't left yet."
"Only you and me can be heard by others?" Zhu Yijun pouted.
Wang Rong ignored him and asked palace maid to help him to walk towards the Western Warm Pavilion. The charcoal fire was just right and the tea was hot, so she prepared it well with her hands covering her palms. Wang Rong asked the Imperial Lower Consort Lan about her recent life at the Western Warm Pavilion, "How are you feeling now? If you want to eat something, then let the Shang Dynasty's warden do it himself. He told them to leave a pregnant woman stove for you, and if you felt any discomfort, he had to call for an imperial physician. The imperial physician was always ready for you as well. palace maid has to admit that you took care of things that you didn't take care of properly, but now, you can't endure even the slightest bit of grievance. "
"I thank the Empress for her concern. The concubine is doing fine." Imperial Lower Consort Lan said, "She has Beauty Wang accompanying me, she is extremely careful at every turn, and is even more considerate than me."
"The two of you live in Jingyang Palace, you should take care of each other." Wang Rong and Wen Yan said, "In the past, the two of you had very good words to say to each other when you were at Chuxiu Palace.
Wang Rong He couldn't just leave His Majesty hanging there in the air. After exchanging a few more words, he left for the Eastern Warm Pavilion. Zhu Yijun, however, did not need to be called out to. He leaned on the table and drew on a piece of paper with a pen, even calling out the music of Faculty Division. Today, the person who had come was playing the lute, not hugging the lute, but behind the screen, did not show his face.
"Today, your majesty is going to visit the Imperial Lower Consort Lan at the Jingyang Palace." Wang Rong He sat down and explained. After a while, he realized that Zhu Yijun was smearing a masterpiece made by her in the morning, and became a little angry, "Your majesty, why are you changing my painting again?"
"Zitong, this isn't a random drawing, it's turning into something miraculous." Zhu Yijun said in a serious tone.
"Then this painting was painted by me, and it was even drawn by Your Majesty." Wang Rong asked.
"Isn't this simple? It's just a seal drawn by the two of us." Zhu Yijun said unconcerned.
"Your Majesty, I would like to preserve my own paintings at every stage so that I can understand my own improvements and shortcomings." Wang Rong tactfully expressed that she only wanted to cover herself with a seal.
"That won't stop you?" After all, my brush strokes are completely different from yours. " Zhu Yijun said, "Thank you, Zitong, for giving us the illusion of being able to compare to Hui Zong."
"I can't afford to accept your Majesty's request." Wang Rong He said, "Your Majesty wants me to kneel because Jiaotai Palace is not enough to satisfy you, right?" Is Song Huizong someone who is easy to compare with? Especially when the Emperor went to compete with him.
"It's just a joke, and Zitong actually took it seriously?" Zhu Yijun said. We will be staying at the Kunning Palace today and shall head there tomorrow. " He put down his brush and beckoned Wang Rong He to come over to his side. He placed his hand on Wang Rong He's stomach and said, "I originally thought that my eldest son would come out from here. He is both a descendant and a long son.
"Your Majesty, don't say that." Wang Rong He said, "The children of Imperial Lower Consort Lan are also very good, it was my bad luck."
"You aren't pestering me at all. Our Kunning Palace has only been here for eight or nine days a month, and we still have to throw away the first fifteen to fifteen days. Now that we're here, you still want us to leave." Zhu Yijun said as he held onto Wang Rong's hand.
"Who asked me to be the Queen?" Wang Rong He said.
"Is the Queen not a woman? Long night, cold bed alone, not lonely, not cold? " Zhu Yijun asked.
"When you sleep, warm your bed with a hot stove. It's not cold when you lie down. It's so comfortable that you fall asleep immediately." She looked at Zhu Yijun, "Then can Your Majesty go take a look at the Jingyang Palace now, and come back to eat with me later?"
"The first time that the Imperial Lower Consort Lan was born, she needed the most attention of her majesty." Wang Rong She said, "No matter how much the Queen Mother and I care about each other, we can't compare to the value that the Emperor has given to me by personally going to the Jingyang Palace."
"F * ck off." Zhu Yijun stood up and said helplessly. The order of the Empress must not be disobeyed. "
