The two of them sat opposite each other as they drank tea. After calling Xu Duzhong over to ask him about the empress dowager's situation, Xu Duzhong cupped his hands and said a few things in the clouds. In the end, it was still better to take a good rest.
"In that case, you will be safe in the Palace of Tzu An." Zhu Yijun said.
"This humble subject obeys the decree." Xu Duzhong said.
"Introduce the imperial physician over at the Kunning Palace to the empress and Princess Rong Chang, do not worry about him." Zhu Yijun said.
"In the future, I will have to come to the Ci'an Palace to serve my mother. At that time, I can also ask the Imperial Physician Xu to treat me." Wang Rong He said, "About Rong Chang, he was always seen by Imperial Physician Huang. He's the paediatric saint's hand, and I think it's pretty good."
The two of them drank a cup of tea at the Palace of Tzion before leaving. Although they said that they were here to visit the Empress, they had never actually seen the Empress before. They had asked the imperial physician and the servant before them.
On top of the chariot, Wang Rong looked at Zhu Yijun, "Your majesty, mother cannot always be sick."
"Yes." Zhu Yijun looked ahead and said, "I'll be sick first."
Zhu Yijun's investigation of Zhang Juzheng began, the entire dynasty simply attacked Zhang Juzheng like crazy, and the people recommended by Zhang Juzheng, Zhu Yijun was still angry first, but Zhang Juzheng himself, all the glory after death had been seized, his entire family exiled, the people promoted by Zhang Juzheng all pushed them to the end.
This went on for more than a month, and every day, they would still attack Zhang Juzheng and his supporters. There were still people who wanted to overthrow all of the reforms that Zhang Juzheng had set, so it was proper for them to follow their ancestor's rules.
Zhu Yijun was not stupid, the things that Zhang Juzheng had reformed were all useful to the nation, it was useful for him to manage the country, how could he be willing to listen to an official's words and return to the ancestral system, he brought them out while chatting with Wang Rong.
"I don't blame the official." Wang Rong said as she brewed tea for Zhu Yijun, "When your majesty gave Zhang Juzheng his conviction back then, you wanted to pull him out from the grave and whip his corpse to vent your anger. When the officials saw this, they obviously wanted to understand his intentions, so that they could think of a little more about Zhang Juzheng's crimes and report it to their majesty."
"What are you angry for?" Zhu Yijun said a little embarrassedly. He couldn't say that he really wanted to whip the corpse, but he was stopped. and you can't really dig it out and whip it. "
"Your Majesty." Wang Rong sternly looked at him and said, "His Majesty's anger is vented once it has been released. Half of the air above the imperial court is filled with thoughts of how to deal with official matters. Only the red-eyed crows pecked at the feathers of the people all day long."
"The number of people who do things is too small. His Majesty will have to endure this tribulation."
"The more people who actually carry out their tasks, the more relaxed your Majesty will be." Wang Rong He said, "If we were to start off with this matter of the officials' bickering, it could even cause a ruckus for a few days. I don't believe that His Majesty would be so impatient to listen to this."
"Yeah." Zhu Yijun thought.
"Is His Majesty still ruthless Zhang Juzheng in his heart?" Wang Rong asked. He didn't ask if the emperor's disgust of Zhang Juzheng was due to official or personal reasons.
"Damn." Zhu Yijun said without thinking, "Every day, he would advise us to be diligent and frugal, and if we were to repair the palace, our private uses would have to be reduced. We would have to be aware of the number of plates of bean cake we eat every day, but his mansion, the pavilions, all of them are carved with jade bracelets, and all of them eat and sleep everyday.
"What I copied out of his house is equivalent to half of my personal storage. This is truly preposterous, it would be a waste for Former Emperor and us to trust him. " Zhu Yijun was indignant.
"Shouldn't Your Majesty be happy that he suddenly received the windfall of half a private treasury?" Wang Rong joked, "During the Ancestor Period, there were still people who took the risk of corruption despite the harsh treatment of corruption. From this, it can be seen that greed is human nature."
"As expected, you still have to abide by the method after passing the examination." Zhu Yijun said. I am prepared to let Imperial Guard investigate once every five years. No, three years, if he dares to be greedy, he will definitely take his head off. "
Zhu Yijun flipped through the file, and among the people who had impeached Zhang Juzheng's position, he chose a few people who had a clear bottom line, called them over to the imperial palace and reprimanded them. He had also sent a message to the courtier through his cabinet. Zhang Juzheng would be impeached until now.
Zhu Yijun was also tired of Feng Bao at the moment, but he did not investigate him and only sent him back to Nanjing to stay. Zhang Cheng's new eunuch, as well as Chen Ju's new arrival, secretly went back to the front hall, becoming Zhu Yijun's trusted eunuch. At this moment, everyone wanted to come and pay their respects to the mountain.
Fangruo went to the courtyard where Chen Ju was resting to congratulate him. Chen Ju was still in his courtyard without moving, he had finally seen Fangruo. " Kunning Palace's first aunt has come, is there anything you need help with? "
"I've made a few pieces to congratulate you. It seems like big partner Chen has gotten a new Holy Pet and is no longer fond of my things. Alright, I came here for nothing, so I'll leave now." Fangruo turned hostile and was about to leave.
"You gave me sex." Chen Ju stopped her, "You left for Kunning Palace, how many times did we meet? Even if I went to look for you in private, you wouldn't want to see me. I thought that since you've become a Great palace maid of Kunning Palace, you wouldn't be interested in me and wouldn't want to keep in contact with a pickled person like me. "
Borrowing that he was a eunuch of the Qianqing Palace, Fangruo quickly stabilized her footing between the palace maid s. Furthermore, she had connections with the people around him, and when she went to the Chuxiu Palace s, he had originally wanted to find a good master. However, after being pecked by a goose, she chose the embroidery stand, and even though she was extremely daring, she quickly chopped her tail off. Although she took herself to the Clothes Washing Bureau s to wash her clothes for a year, in the end, she still returned to the imperial palace and leapt into the great empress s beside her.
of all the palace maid s in the harem.
At first, when she fought with him over food, it was because it was beneficial to her. Later, when she went to the Kunning Palace, she didn't have much to do with him, so it ended there. Now that she had become the new pet of the Qianqing Palace, she came looking for him. It's not like Chen Ju has a temper. Even though he has a broken roots, he had learnt martial arts since he was young, and he also treated himself as a man. It's not like I wanted to keep on competing with you for food.
Fangruo looked at him, "How can you not understand? It's not that I'm not here to see you, but to avoid suspicion."
"empress greatly loves old people. I have just arrived at the Kunning Palace, and am here to look for you instead of keeping my tail between my legs. If the Empress were to find out, my hard work would not have been in vain." Fangruo said, as she handed over the package in her hands to him, "I made you a set of inner clothes, a pair of shoes, you can try it yourself.
"Then don't you want to avoid suspicion now?" Chen Ju asked.
"We have to avoid suspicion as well." Fangruo said, "But for a joyous occasion like yours, I would not even come to congratulate you, am I still considered your woman?"
"We also paid our respects to Yue Lao that day, husband and wife bowing to each other. We said that we would be husband and wife in this life, yet you suspect me like that." Fangruo said as she choked with emotions. That year, Feng Shang was the only one left out of the little eunuchs from Qianqing Palace. Zhang Cheng has come to the Kunning Palace everyday, go ask him, have I treated him differently before? "
"You are not interested in that weakling Feng Shang." Chen Ju said as he carried Fangruo and threw him onto the brick bed. Fangruo knew that Chen Ju was suspicious of her, if he rejected her at this moment, the relationship between the two of them would be broken. After calculating the time, Fangruo nimbly climbed up.
Eunuch and palace maid, eunuchs and imperial concubines, palace maid and imperial concubines … Chen Ju was not interested in His Majesty's woman, and only had a tender love for his own little palace maid. Chen Ju was tall, his clothes were half faded, and he sat in his embrace …
After a long while, when the two were chatting while hugging each other, Fangruo asked curiously, "This matter is so comfortable, why doesn't the Empress like it?"
"Isn't there something wrong with the Empress's body?" Chen Ju asked.
"There is a little bit on my body, but most of it is my mental obstruction." Fangruo unclearly said that she could naturally see that Wang Rong was taking care of His Majesty because she was sick. However, many women didn't like it, so they didn't like serving the man in charge. Especially since they had children, they were willing to give the man a concubine and enjoy life.
But the Empress had only one princess.
Didn't the Empress want to give birth to a crown prince?
"The Empress did not serve His Majesty, nor did she see that His Majesty was displeased with the Empress." Chen Ju said, "Zhang Cheng, that brat, levelled himself up one level, and busied himself in a circle. However, he has personally done all of Kunning Palace, and he does it with his own hands."
"Zhang Cheng is capable, and I'm not bad either. But what I admire the most about him is that he has a good grasp of His Majesty's feelings." Chen Ju said, "It seems that you are very clear about the Empress's position in your majesty's heart, even after being promoted to an official."
"What's going on with the Palace of Tzu An?" "Fang Rong suddenly asked." Every so often, the Empress Dowager would go to the Palace of Tzion to see the Empress Dowager, but she wouldn't let anyone follow them into the palace. She said that she was afraid of infection, and that the Empress Dowager's illness was truly severe. "
"This is a life threatening matter, don't ask about it." Chen Ju said.
"I'll just ask in front of you." When Fangruo heard that it was a life-threatening situation, she knew that it was not a good thing so she said it. You went and got some water. I should go back. "
"When are you coming next time?" Chen Ju asked.
"Just wait." Fangruo said.
Fangruo slapped her own face. After confirming that nothing was out of the ordinary, she returned to her Kunning Palace, "Big Sister Fangruo, why did you go so long?" The palace maid asked curiously.
"I turned around and went to the Shang Cuisine Restaurant's office. I've just prepared a new snack, so I brought it along with me." Fangruo said. You can have it. "
The palace had suddenly discovered the plague, and the palace guards were all extremely nervous. The imperial concubines were also panicking, especially the concubines who were pregnant, even more so. After a few months, even though their preparations had not been released, it was still time for the concubines to give birth, thus the Imperial Lower Consort Jing was the first to make their move, successfully giving birth to a man.
This was the eldest son of the emperor.
Wang Rong went to the Jingyang Palace to see the Imperial Lower Consort Jing. Looking at the kid who reported the red packet, she actually felt quite touched about it. The Imperial Lower Consort Jing has done well. Take good care of it. For the three full moons of the Emperor's eldest son, it will definitely be an easy task. "
However, she still went in. When the Imperial Lower Consort Jing saw the Queen come in, he immediately struggled out of bed to pay her respects to Wang Rong.
"Lie still." How could Wang Rong allow her to kneel? "This is the moment of pain, what are you doing?"
"Empress." Imperial Lower Consort Jing pulled Wang Rong He's hand, "Empress, this servant has a presumptuous request, I hope esteemed Empress will agree to this servant's request."
"What do you want?" Wang Rong asked.
"Esteemed Empress Dowager has already been ill for a few months, so this servant is incompetent. Previously, when I had a child, other than praying for Esteemed Empress Dowager's well-being every day, I had no other choice. Now that the child has been given birth, this servant wishes to invite myself to peaceful palace to serve Esteemed Empress Dowager. The Imperial Lower Consort Jing said with tears streaming down her face.
"You don't need to do this." Wang Rong He said, "Every day, I visit the mother at Ci'an Palace. Although my body is in a bad state, my mental state is still in good condition. The imperial physician also said that I will recover after a few more days of rest. You must be a good month, and when you get better, maybe mother will also be able to see your eldest grandson. "
When Wang Rong and the others came out from the Jingyang Palace, Wuyou tilted her head in puzzlement, "The Imperial Lower Consort Jing's Empress didn't even sit down with Yuanzi and wanted to go to the Peace Palace.
"What sort of relationship does Esteemed Empress Dowager have with a little palace maid?" Wang Rong said with a smile, "She got pregnant at An'an Palace, I'm afraid that she is worried that the Esteemed Empress Dowager is in trouble, and she is in trouble."
But it was a reminder that the Empress Dowager should be cured.
Zhu Yijun was very cold to his eldest son's birth, and had never seen him before. When Wang Rong He came to see him, he sent someone to give him a few rewards, "Imperial Lower Consort Jing has contributed greatly to the production, your majesty should be promoted."
"The Imperial Lower Consort Jing said that she was worried about the mother and wanted to serve the Palace of Peace. I rejected her, saying that it was unknown whether or not Yue Zi would come out and the empress dowager's health would be good as well." Wang Rong She said, "It's been a few months, mother should be fully recovered by now."
"Then after a few more days, mother will recover completely." Zhu Yijun said.
