On the sixteenth day of the first month, Zhu Yijun recruited the Imperial Lower Consort Lan, Imperial Noble Lady Yu, and Noble Wang. This was the first time the three of them had not been carried into Qianqing Palace naked by a blanket, but had instead been wearing good clothes on their heads and entered the Qianqing Palace with their bodies and bodies.
Zhu Yijun intentionally brought out some unimportant memorials and went to the Western Warm Pavilion, sitting down and saying to the three of them, "Relax, I have summoned the three of you to accompany me for a bit, as a reward for my victory. Don't just stand there. Sit. "
"Your consort really didn't think that there would be such a good thing." Imperial Noble Lady Yu laughed.
"It was the empress's wish." Zhu Yijun said, "Not only today, we can also come tomorrow."
"If the rewards are so generous, then I'm afraid it'll be difficult for Flower Lantern to win next year." The Imperial Noble Lady Yu said.
"Hard to say, maybe next year's reward will change." Zhu Yijun said. Because it was a reward, Zhu Yijun even found a topic of conversation with them in an amiable manner.
When Zhu Yijun arrived at Kunning Palace in the evening, Wang Rong was extremely surprised to see him, "I had thought that Your Majesty would be staying at the Qianqing Palace today."
"It's a bit unaccustomed to sleep alone in the Qianqing Palace cold and quiet." Zhu Yijun said that in the recent days when he stayed in the Kunning Palace, it wasn't every night when he was at Dunlun. But when he laid on the bed with Wang Rong and he, they talked slowly until they fell asleep, where Zhu Yijun had the illusion that Kunning Palace was warmer than Qianqing Palace.
Qianqing Palace would naturally not be stingy with their carnage. That was the reason why it could only be used by humans.
"His Majesty summoned the Imperial Lower Consort Lan. The Imperial Noble Lady Yu, Noble Wang, even if the Imperial Lower Consort Lan cannot service them, the other two can just leave one of them in the Qianqing Palace. His Majesty won't feel cold anymore." Wang Rong said with a smile.
"Speaking of which, let's change the reward next year. We have nothing to say to them. We still have three more days before we sit down and chat. Just thinking about it makes my face hurt." Zhu Yijun said. "Laughing and hurting."
"Thank you, your majesty." Wang Rong He said.
"Today, seeing that the lamp is still hung on our Qianqing Palace, I guess our guess is correct." Zhu Yijun said complacently.
"Yes, Your Majesty is very perceptive." Wang Rong He said, "I just don't know if you can guess, your majesty?"
"Before you said it, you had already locked onto the target. One of them was the willow branch hanging on the moon now, and it was around dusk." The other was Fuwa holding the carp lantern. "In the palace, only you dare to make the first lamp, and only you can make the second. As for the latter lamp, I was thinking that you had the embroidery of a carp on your clothes, perhaps because I wanted it to be similar to the lamp you made." Zhu Yijun said, "Even if you didn't remind us, we would still have chosen that person to meet Dusk."
"Why can only I do that lamp?" Wang Rong did not understand.
"Because they are only women serving me, they can only respect me and can't admire me. Even if they love me, they can only hide it and not say it publicly. It is not good to express one's feelings for me to meet with him in the evening like this. It was just like being jealous. It was a pleasure for a wife to be jealous of her husband, but it was also a grudge between a concubine and her master. A serious matter is a violation of the taboo. " Zhu Yijun said, "Of course you are the empress, you are naturally different from them."
"Love and admire, but not openly? "The requirements are too high." Wang Yunhe said, "Cough and love are the most important things that cannot be hidden, because even if you don't say it, your mouth will still come out of your eyes."
Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Rong He's eyes. Then let me see, does Zitong have any love for her? "
Wang Rong He looked straight into the emperor's eyes and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I really have to thank the emperor for ordering me around. Otherwise, I would be so stupid that I wouldn't even know how to light a lamp."
"If Zitong is an imperial concubine now, what would happen?" Zhu Yijun suddenly asked curiously.
When His Majesty didn't see me, I was just playing around in the palace to amuse myself, no different from now. However, as an empress, you can summon others to dance and entertain yourself, and you don't have any privileges as an concubine. You can only play the music and let the palace maid dance. Wang Rong He said.
"Then in Zitong's opinion, what's the benefit of being a queen?" Zhu Yijun laughed.
"There are many benefits to being a queen." Wang Rong wrapped her arms around Zhu Yijun's waist, "Your Majesty won't let me be your concubine again, right? "It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but hard to go from extravagance to frugality."
"Say something nice in the first month." Zhu Yijun hugged her back and said.
Wang Rong and she originally thought that it was enough for Zhu Yijun to accompany her until the fifteenth day of the first month. She didn't expect that Zhu Yijun would always stay at the Kunning Palace and Wang Rong didn't urge him either. Currently, the empress dowager didn't speak any words of advice to the empress for too long, so there was no need for her to act virtuous and virtuous.
Because Spring Festival had a series of activities, on the nineteenth of the first month, the colorful lanterns laid in front of the imperial palace were gradually removed. Zhu Yijun proposed to Wang Rong and her, "The willow branch on the moon is only suitable for us to hang in the bedchamber, Zitong will make another lantern for us to hang in the study. It doesn't have to be a lantern, it's just that it's more solemn and suitable for the study."
"Your Majesty, I only make one lamp a year." Wang Rong He said, "Wait until next year, I'll do it for His Majesty and take it directly to his study."
"You really can't do it?" Zhu Yijun said, "Then there's nothing we can do, we can only hang that first."
"Thank you for your understanding." Wang Rong He said.
On the second day of the second month, Zhu Yijun decided to bring the officials to the western suburbs to plow the fields. The empress would dress up as a peasant woman and lead her women to the fields to deliver food, pray for a good harvest, and pray for a good harvest. After the ceremony, there would be a sacrificial feast. It would be a feast for all the officials, and the Emperor and Empress would also give him spring cakes.
Returning to the Kunning Palace, Wang Rong didn't immediately change her clothes. Instead, she made people push the mirror closer, turning it to admire her figure. The eunuch sang "His Majesty has arrived".
"Your Majesty, today is the second day of the second month. Your Majesty has not been to the imperial harem for a long time, so you should go to the imperial harem like the Dragon King."
Zhu Yijun clapped his hands and called Zhang Cheng over, "Did we overturn the plate for the harem today?"
"Your majesty has flipped open the Imperial Noble Lady Yu's signboard today." Zhang Cheng said.
"I forgot about it all at once, so I went straight for the Kunning Palace." Zhu Yijun laughed.
Then your majesty will go back to the Qianqing Palace after eating some snacks with me. Wang Rong He said.
Zhu Yijun had already changed into his regular clothes, and upon seeing Wang Rong, he covered his head with a cloth, "Zitong likes to dress like this?"
"Your Majesty, what happened to this woman's outfit?" Seeing that palace maid had already left, she intentionally said that.
Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment before laughing, "Let us see, which family's charming little lady is she from?"
Wang Rong turned around and covered her face with her sleeve. "This humble woman has an ordinary appearance, she fears that she will dirty His Majesty's eyes."
"Come here." Zhu Yijun said, Wang Rong came over and knelt down. Zhu Yijun said again.
Wang Rong He hesitated for a bit, then kneeled on Zhu Yijun's leg, and said half-wronged, "Why is his majesty in the spotlight?"
"Where is my wife's husband? How can I let you have contact with an outsider alone? " Zhu Yijun said. He lifted Wang Ronghe's chin in his hand. Wang Rong was one of the few people who would kneel to him. She was in such a position that it was very rare for him to see her like this.
It was especially touching when I saw her.
"My wife's husband will be back soon. Your Majesty, please have some self-respect. " Wang Rong He said that she felt that it was not fun anymore. This kind of position made her feel that it was weak, but Zhu Yijun seemed to have gotten addicted to this.
"I think you look very pleasing. Why don't you follow me back to the palace? I'll bestow you with a Imperial Noble Consort, wearing gold and silver. Isn't that better than being dressed like you?"
"This humble woman and her husband are in love with each other. This humble woman will never return to the palace with His Majesty." Wang Rong had an unyielding, mighty, and loyal look.
"Really?" Zhu Yijun said as he pulled Wang Rong and her back into his embrace, one hand reaching under his dress. Because she was wearing civilian attire, it was much simpler than the Queen's uniform, almost reaching into her apron and making a grasping motion.
Wang Rong thought that she had made a mistake and actually forgot that the king was in the mood to care. She pressed down Zhu Yijun's hand through her clothes, "Your majesty, stop messing around."
"I like you. I must bring you back to the palace." Wang Rong was in a passive state. After struggling for a bit, she managed to force Zhu Yijun out of the struggle, and even tore his skirt, making the whole of a woman who was forced into a good home look extremely pitiful.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty is the Son of Heaven. How could he do such a thing?" Since things had already come to this point, Wang Rong and the others simply let go of their bundles and played along with him. They had started it up themselves and wanted to continue playing while crying.
"I am the Son of Heaven, so I can do whatever I want to do." Zhu Yijun said, "Be good and I will love you."
"No." "My life is my husband's, and my death is my husband's ghost."
Zhu Yijun tore off Wang Rong's underpants, "From now on, I am your husband."
"No." Wang Rong's panicked face paled, "We can't be here, we'll be discovered by others."
"Being discovered by others is for the best. Others know that you are my man, and your husband will not take you." Zhu Yijun said, "Other than following us back to the palace, you have no other choice."
"Please, Your Majesty, no." Wang Rong said with tears in her eyes. Zhu Yijun carried Wang Rong and walked onto the bed, pulled up the curtains, and threw her onto the mattress, "Go ahead and cry, no one will come to your rescue."
After the two of them had messed around for a while, Wang Rong covered her face and said, "I'm too ashamed to meet anyone."
"You came to recruit me." Zhu Yijun said as he touched her back that was drenched in sweat.
"Then you are her majesty, if you see the commoners, you can ask them for a few mouthfuls, will you be able to eat your fill and eat Wuyou? How many acres of farmland do you have livestock in your house? "Why would His Majesty want to snatch this lady when you saw her?" Wang Rong He said.
"You can't blame me for that. It was your eyes that were blinking to seduce me. Where did the wife of the farmer dare to look me in the face?" Zhu Yijun said, "Sitting on my lap, with one look, you can tell that I'm not some proper wife."
Wang Rong went to pinch Zhu Yijun's waist, "No matter how dishonest he is, he is still someone else's wife. His Majesty can't possibly be liking someone else's wife, right? "His Majesty has four seas and three thousand beauties in the harem. If His Majesty still likes to provoke the young ladies of other families, then I shall … die."
"This Emperor likes another person's wife, why aren't you living?" Zhu Yijun laughed.
"I'm too ashamed to think of my husband as such. I might as well die." Wang Rong said bluntly.
Zhu Yijun slapped her butt, "You're getting more and more presumptuous."
He then rubbed it twice, "Relax, I'm not that ridiculous."
Wang Rong He said, "I won't play with His Majesty anymore." Lifting up a rock to smash her own foot, she thought she understood a lot. In the end, what was written in the book was completely different from real life.
"I think it's rather interesting." Zhu Yijun said. The women sent to his bed were all well-behaved. He was in the palace and the experience was different from the others. Thinking back and forth, he was sure that he wouldn't take the usual route on the day of the wedding, so he could try anything afterwards.
The main point was that she didn't reject Wang Yunhe's idea of trying it out. However, his face was still thin, especially since it was daytime, and he wasn't using his bedchamber, so he would fall out once he was done.
From this point of view, the Empress was actually speaking falsely. Otherwise, if she really did not seem to be willing, Zhu Yijun would not force her to go.
Wang Rong said as she endured the pain, "Your majesty, please wake up, Imperial Noble Lady Yu is still waiting for you at Qianqing Palace."
"Let her go back and forth. We will arrange her in the Kunning Palace today." Zhu Yijun relaxed and said, "Don't get up too, lie with me for a while longer."
"I'm too embarrassed to lie down." Wang Rong said angrily, "I got up and changed my clothes, so someone could bring in a meal."
