Wang Rong knew that Li Gong was implying that she did not eat bestowed food from his mouth, so he nodded and allowed her to leave.
There was more than one arrangement.
Wang Rong couldn't help but laugh at how bored she was.
The roasted meat from the stone pot was also brought back on the second day. Wang Rong and Wang Chao prepared tender cabbage leaves for someone to wrap around the grilled meat and pickled vegetables, eating happily. Aunt Mei Dong watched from the side and couldn't help but laugh. "If His Majesty knew that the Empress was eating so happily, would he be angry?" Initially, she was only helping Wang Rong and handling palace affairs, not in close proximity, but since His Majesty had a conflict with the empress, she had no choice but to step forward. It was the Empress who did not like to listen, but her words were extremely loyal, and if she was the one to say these words, the other palace maid s, regardless of their size, regardless of their intimacy, would not dare to open their mouths.
"It's his business to be angry if he can't believe it. Do you want me to be unhappy with him?" Wang Rong He said. Aunt Mei, please don't say too much.
Mei Dong had been loyal to his master, and died before he could even start his apprenticeship.
After lunch, the Imperial Manor's carriage entered the Kunning Palace, Mei Dong brought Wuyou to the treasury, and Li Gong led Zhang Ruoyun in. Zhang Ruoyun bowed and said, "This humble girl pays her respects to empress."
"Stand up." Seeing an old friend, Wang Rongwei was in a very good mood. After people looked at his seat, they asked, "How have you been recently?"
"They're all pretty good." Ruoyun laughed heartily and said, "This is the booklet given at the end of the year. Big brother was worried that there was nothing else in the palace, so if you send all the dishes and rice to the palace, I would have to trouble myself with handling them. "But I thought that the things I sent out were all things that the Empress was used to eating. No matter how precious the delicacies are, it's not that tasty, so not one of them dwindled and was pulled into the palace. The Empress won't blame me, right?"
"Why would I blame you? I still have to thank you." "" Wang Rong said with a smile. That's what I'm thinking of right now. "
"The warm manor outside the city was originally planted with the Empress's favorite food. Although the palace also has fresh vegetables every day, they might not necessarily be things the Empress likes. If the Empress agrees, the warm manor will send raw vegetables to the palace every two or three days." Ruoyun said.
"I'll let Li Gong handle this matter. It's not that frequent, it's just that it's so eye-catching." Wang Rong He said. She flipped through the booklet. There was only one page for raw vegetables and livestock, one page for dried seafood, one page for dried vegetables and fruits, one page for various medicinal herbs, two pages for colored fur and cloth. There were also decorations, various gems and new jewelry, and finally, silver. Wang Rong He suddenly laughed, "You even brought me a cart full of charcoal?"
"I think that the amount of charcoal in the palace is very limited. The Empress is afraid of the cold, so she burns as much charcoal as she wants." Ruoyun said. The first year after entering the palace, her new daughter-in-law was always very careful. It's also the first year for the Empress to enter the palace, what if she was too embarrassed to have someone bring coal over? "
"You're really thoughtful." Wang Rong He said. "But when did you see me feel wronged?"
"The Empress doesn't feel wronged, so we can be at ease outside." Ruoyun said. Just by looking at the money, the Empress should know that the business of being a distant friend is not bad, and that brother and I have never slacked off for a single moment. "
"You've worked hard." Wang Rong He said, "I also prepared a big red packet to reward the two of you."
"Did all the food on it go to court, or?" Wang Rong asked.
"Some have all entered the palace, while others have some left." Ruoyun.
"Mark the ones you don't have, and send the rest to the Duke Yongnian Palace." "Let my family eat the same thing as I do, as if I were still at home."
Ruoyun's eyes reddened, Wang Rong looked at her, "What's wrong, you're not such a sentimental person."
"To tell the Empress nothing, I just heard the Empress's words. I understand now that the Empress really is the Empress." Ruoyun was confused when she heard her, but Wang Rong She understood her. The Empress wasn't just talking about distance, it was also a distance that one couldn't go back to. It was a distance that one could feel chills all over their body just by talking about it.
Wang Yaliang was surprised when he saw Wang Yaliang outside the palace waiting for him. Wang Yaliang said, "Since I know that you entered the palace to send me to the Imperial Manor today, I will wait for you on duty. After that, I will bring you to my home, and the Duke Yongnian Palace will also send you a present of filial piety to the empress.
Ruoyun said, "The Empress ordered today, that the Huang Clan Manor would also send some things to the Duke Yongnian's manor. If not, I should head back today, and deliver some things tomorrow before paying a visit."
"That's fine too." Wang Yaliang said, but he did not move, "Get on the carriage, since I have been waiting for you for so long, I will take you back."
It was fortunate that Aunt Mei knew that some of these things had to be sent out, so she didn't go directly into the warehouse, but into the transfer warehouse instead. As she looked over these things, she had a plan in mind: the fur would be hung with the best mountain ginseng, and the precious stones and pots would be hung with two words, one for each of the empress dowager. The rest of the fabric would be sent to the empress dowager, and everyone in the harem would have a share, because this time, Wang Rong and some of the later concubines would have to leave behind their favorite flowers, so she had to bring some out from the warehouse.
According to Wang Rong He's words, she wouldn't be able to use up all of the fabric anyway, and it wouldn't be new even if she left it for a long time. Every year, there would be new fabric that came, so she might as well give it away. There was also jewelry. Wang Rong didn't like to wear many things, and she didn't like other accessories either. Fortunately, although she didn't like to wear them, she liked to admire them.
Yang Jingru and Liu Jing were close friends with her, and the things they had were even better than concubines and Imperial Lower Consort Lan s. Wang Zhixi was her younger sister, and she was not strict with him either. With a wave of her hand, Wang Rongsheng basked in her extravagance as her mood improved by quite a bit.
On that day, all the eunuchs of Kunning Palace ran and broke their legs.
When Zhu Yijun heard that the empress Royal Villa was doing well, he immediately pulled several carriages over to the palace, "Is there even a share of the harem?" Zhu Yijun asked.
"Yes. Even if it's the Chuxiu Palace selection, everyone will get a share. " Zhang Cheng said, "From the Kunning Palace to the harem, I'm very happy."
"Her Royal Manor's future is pretty good." Zhu Yijun said. "I have a look. Our Royal Manor's size is five times her size, but its future prospects are equal to hers. Where is the money from this manor?"
"Send Uncle Feng to investigate." Zhu Yijun said.
"Yes." Zhang Cheng said.
Zhu Yijun waited until the sky darkened, but he did not see any palace maid with Kunning Palace sending anything over. The stingy His Majesty threw another ink stone. However, the beauty serving the bed still had an expression of gratitude towards the empress.
"The cloth and jewelry are very good." The beauty said. I have never seen such a good thing. "
Zhu Yijun was frustrated, he did not need anyone to attend to him, and directly ordered them to return.
It was unknown whether this beauty was doing it on purpose or not, but she did not accept the favor and return to the palace. She told her other sisters that she felt wronged and only praised empress a few times before the emperor suddenly turned hostile and chased her back. Could it be that His Majesty and empress are really incompatible?
While Zhu Yijun's Qianqing Palace was sulking, one night was enough for the imperial concubine to magnify the situation by a hundredfold.
"After Wang Rong and the others woke up from their morning sleep, they heard about what happened to the sleeping beauty yesterday. The good mood they had after getting rich instantly disappeared. "Wear some clothes for me today, and I still need to go and confess."
When all the consorts arrived outside the Kunning Palace Palace, they were informed to go back immediately. The Empress had already left for the Ci Ning Palace.
When Wang Rong arrived at the Palace of Gentle Serenity, the Empress Dowager Chen saw her haggard appearance. "What happened between us, your majesty? Wasn't it fine before? "
"If I had known, I wouldn't be so worried right now." Wang Rong said with a wry smile, "I only heard about what happened to Beauty Tian yesterday morning, and only then did I know that Your Majesty's opinion of me has become so serious."
"If you do anything wrong, apologize to His Majesty. To speak softly, His Majesty's heart is actually quite soft. " The Empress Dowager Chen said.
"This son is prepared to pay respects before heading to Qianqing Palace to beg for forgiveness." Wang Rong He said, "After all, the imperial harem is rumoured to be at odds with the Emperor. It's not a good thing."
When Wang Rong went to Ci'an Palace with Empress Dowager Li, he looked at her and said, "Looks like Your Majesty is really angry this time." Have you never requested for an apology from His Majesty? "
"Your son is preparing to go soon." Wang Rong He said.
"Go." The Empress Dowager Li said, "His Majesty is very soft-hearted. If you kneel in front of him, he won't be angry."
"Yes." Wang Rong said with a lowered eyebrow.
Wang Rong and those who had just left the Tzu An palace did not return to Kunning Palace, but instead went straight to the Qianqing Palace. Unfortunately for them, since his Majesty had gone to the Huangji Hall, he was probably busy with government affairs today and had not returned to the palace yet.
The eunuch asked Wang Rong He to wait in the hall. Wang Rong He shook his head and stood at the foot of the hall, waiting. She was here to ask for forgiveness, and it wasn't sincere for her to sit in a warm place and wait.
Zhu Yijun rubbed his forehead as he returned to the palace. All the officials were discussing about the matters of the imperial court and their ears were buzzing.
Only after getting off the emperor's carriage did he see Wang Rong He standing outside the palace. "This concubine pays her respects to Your Majesty." Wang Rong said while half-squatting.
"When did you arrive?" Zhu Yijun said, "Why aren't you going in, and why are you standing outside?"
"Your concubine is here to seek forgiveness from His Majesty." Wang Rong He said.
"What crime have you committed?" Zhu Yijun asked.
"Please enlighten me, your Majesty." Wang Rong He said.
Zhu Yijun scoffed, "If Empress feels that she's not wrong, there's no need to ask for forgiveness, she'll go by herself."
After Zhu Yijun entered the palace, he should have followed him in at this time. Wang Rong knew that she came to Qianqing Palace to ask for peace, not to incite conflict.
Since you aren't happy hearing my name, then this is it. A benevolent and childless Empress Xian Ming was originally the direction she was preparing. Since this is what you want, why do you need to make up for it by going against your heart?
Wang Rong turned and went back to the Kunning Palace, because she was here to apologize, she didn't even sit on the palanquin, and now she was also going to walk back step by step.
Zhu Yijun turned around, but could not see Wang Rong who came in, "Where's the Queen?"
Zhang Cheng was almost unable to control the softness of his legs and wanted to kneel down. empress's courage was always on his estimation, "empress has returned to the Kunning Palace."
Zhu Yijun laughed coldly, "You're right."
"How arrogant." Zhu Yijun could not resist patting the table and said.
