No one came to question her majesty, but Empress Dowager Li gave her a lesson, saying that her majesty the empress must maintain her poise outside, that she should be dignified and generous, that she couldn't even hold hands outside, and even hugged her.
Although Wang Rong He was scolded to the point that his face was covered with dirt, he was still very happy. He sat on the chariot and extended his hand outwards, as if feeling that he could catch the wind. As for the scoldings from the Esteemed Empress Dowager, he would scold them when he scolded. He would do whatever he had to do next time. It was just a small matter of no importance. If one kept a tight watch on everything, one would feel very tired.
On the fifteenth day of the second month, Wang Rong said to Wuyou, "I told the palace concubines to dress up prettier, and I wrapped myself up like a bear. That's not good, at most I'll just put in a few more heat stoves in my sleeves."
Wuyou brought out a big sleeved shirt with a round neck embroidered with a big red embroidery and tied it around her waist. She said as she struggled to breathe, "Am I fat?"
"The Empress is a bit more plump than when she was married, but a bit thinner than when she was a girl." Wulv said, "Empress, you have to be fat to look good."
"That's right, Flying Yan Palace only has one jade ring." Wang Rong said with a smile.
Her hair was tied up in a crown, and Wang Rong and the golden silk bun that she despised to the point of death were also tied up on top of her head, covered with all sorts of gemstones and flowers.
Li Gong bowed and entered, "Esteemed Empress, there's a rumor saying that His Majesty wants the Empress to go to Qianqing Palace.
"Alright." After Wang Rong said this, she let the people put on their fur cloaks and sat on the chariot s to go to the Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Yijun saw her coming, "Why are you wearing so little?" He reached out to shake Wang Rong's hand, but it was still warm in his palm.
"Today is his Majesty's Spring Festival. Dressed in winter attire, aren't I a disappointment?" She revealed the stove in her sleeve. "You see, they have plenty of equipment."
"Carefully don't get caught in the cold again. If you cough like last year for a long time, I won't let you organize such a banquet in the future." Zhu Yijun said.
"Then your majesty must be bored." Wang Rong He said.
"You must be bored." Zhu Yijun laughed.
The Empress rode on the Dragon Carriage and headed towards the Gonghou Garden. When she got off the carriage, as expected, the Gonghou Garden was already red and willow green, and she piled all the flowers that bloomed first onto the Gonghou Garden, creating an appearance that was at the peak of spring.
"It's really a good day for the feast." Wang Rong He said. The Heavens are beautiful. "
"Your Majesty, let's not go sit in the pavilion. How about we just sit in the sun?" Wang Rong suggested.
"As you wish." Zhu Yijun had nothing to lose.
Under Wang Rong and her orders, naturally there would be people who would move tables and chairs under the sunlight. When the two of them took their seats, the concubines would come to greet them.
"Look, Your Majesty. It's so spring." Wang Rong He said. Seeing all sorts of beautiful women at once was enough to fill one's eyes.
Since the Imperial Consort Guo, they all brazenly brought wine cups to His Majesty to persuade him to drink. Zhu Yijun accepted all of them with a smile, as everyone thought that today they had received His Majesty's attention, and their hearts were filled with joy, the corners of their mouths curled up, it was truly a beautiful spring day.
Wang Rong He smiled as he looked at them, and only in the end did he speak to Zhu Yijun who was a little drunk, "Today's main event has arrived."
The sound of drums rang out in the field, and a person flew out from behind a mountain. It turned out that someone was playing on a long swing at the back, and the swing was high and far. The person on the swing was wearing a flowery shirt.
Zhu Yijun squinted his eyes, wanting to clearly see the appearance of the person on the Qiuqian rack, but in the next moment, the butterfly disappeared into the mountains again. It then reappeared, then disappeared again.
"Who's on the swing?" Zhu Yijun asked.
"It's the Imperial Lower Consort Liu." "She's the only one who knows how to swing, and I want to learn that too."
"No." Zhu Yijun still remembered the taste of alcohol, he frowned and said, "Did you forget about your fall last time?"
"It was an accident." Wang Rong He said. If His Majesty hadn't appeared out of the blue, I might have learnt it. Now it's me on the autumn stand. "
"Even if you do, you can only show it to me." Zhu Yijun said, "As the Queen, what's the point of showing the swing to others?"
Wang Rong He only smiled and did not speak.
After the banquet was over, the imperial chariot of the empress descended and Wang Rong waited for the to enter the Kunning Palace. Only then did Zhu Yijun wave his hand and the eunuch was ordered to head over.
The Imperial Concubine Bai, who was seated at the banquet, gave him a flirtatious look before a Imperial Lower Consort Liu who had yet to appear before the emperor, and went to pick some peaches. When they paid respects the next day, Imperial Consort Guo looked at Wang Ronghe and said, "empress is really good at calculation!"
"What?" Wang Rong was confused.
Imperial Consort Guo shook her head and laughed without saying a word, as she looked at the empty space in front of him.
"Do you think that the empress is organising this Flower Court Banquet for us? She did it for the Imperial Lower Consort Liu. " Imperial Consort Guo sat on the chariot and told her concubine, who knew why His Majesty disliked Imperial Lower Consort Liu, but since Imperial Lower Consort Liu entered her eyes today, she would probably get rid of all the favors in the future.
"The entire reason we came here is to set off the Imperial Lower Consort Liu." Imperial Consort Guo sneered, "Let me see what empress has spent so much effort to lift up."
The rest of the people were rather envious of Imperial Lower Consort Liu.
Imperial Lower Consort Liu was favored for three days in a row. On the fourth day, she came to the Kunning Palace to pay respects to the empress, and immediately kowtowed to her as she greeted, "I kowtow and thank empress for her great kindness."
"Quickly get up. There is no need to perform such a great courtesy." Wang Rong asked someone to help Imperial Lower Consort Liu up.
"It is all thanks to the Empress's kindness that this concubine was able to gain His Majesty's favor." The Imperial Lower Consort Liu said. When she was summoned into the Qianqing Palace, she found out what kind of arrangement Wang Rong had made with all these. What virtue or ability did she have to make the empress do this?
"Sisters don't talk about this." Wang Rong He said, what could she say? The reason why your Majesty does not like you is because you were unable to support her and caused her to fall and fall. Your Majesty cannot blame yourself, it is precisely venting your anger and Imperial Lower Consort Liu.
What had already happened for her, could only be resolved for her. She wasn't trying to show kindness, she was trying to repay it.
"Your majesty is well served." Wang Rong said, "High positions have no pets, and can't be used as a pillow for Wuyou either. The people in the imperial harem always come one after another, and now that you are in the position of palace master, with more palace maid, and more concubines in the position, you won't be able to sit in the position of palace master until you're promoted to the next position."
"Since the Empress has brought this concubine along, if I still don't know what's good for me, wouldn't it be a waste of your efforts?" Imperial Lower Consort Liu said sincerely, "Even if it is for the Empress, I will still work hard."
"Don't do it for me, for yourself." Wang Rong He said. You and Jing Ru are both. "
