"When Eldest Prince finally returned, he pulled the child and asked. Have you disgraced yourself in front of father? "
Zhu Chang Luo was shocked by mother's excitement as he timidly shook his head, "Mother allowed me to stay for dinner, and when I'm done, she sent someone to escort me back."
Imperial Consort Gong looked at him eagerly, "What did father ask you?"
Zhu Changluo still shook his head. "father only talks with Big Sister Rong Chang."
Imperial Consort Gong found it hard to hide her disappointment, but she still asked Zhu Chang Luo about everything from the moment he entered the Qianqing Palace to the moment he left it. She knew that since Zhu Chang Luo had not seen her in the morning, the empress had called him over at noon, and even after he had left, the father had not asked him anything.
"This is the four treasures of the study that the Queen Mother bestowed upon me." Zhu Changluo said.
"father didn't reward you?" Imperial Consort Gong asked.
Zhu Changluo shook his head, "mother, why is Big Sister Rong Chang not afraid of father?"
"Princess Rong Chang has seen too many father, so she is not afraid. In the future, you will go to the Qianqing Palace everyday and see father more often, so you need not be afraid. " Imperial Consort Gong said. You have to listen to what your teacher has to say, your teacher has already taught you, father is asking you for lessons, if you can say it, then your father will like you, do you understand? "
Zhu Changluo nodded his head in confusion.
When was brought by Zhu Changluo to the Kunning Palace to play in the past few months, Wang Rong and the others asked the Imperial Consort Yi to send Zhao Yi there as well.
The Imperial Consort Yi smiled and shook his head, "Thank you for remembering Zhao Yi, but it's better if I do it myself. Once Rong Chang invites the teacher to teach me in the future, I can go with him to the academy to play."
Wang Rong looked at her, "You don't have to worry about this, it's good for a child to see more in father."
"No matter how many times Zhao Yi sees the father, her majesty would never treat Zhao Yi like she is doted on by Rong Chang. It's fine if you don't see him normally, but if you see him too often in Qianqing Palace, come back and ask me why the father treats Big Sister Rong Chang differently than me, how should I answer that?"
"As a teacher, your majesty still has quite a bit of dignity. It doesn't look like the usual behavior of someone who pampers over her." Wang Rong He said.
"I would usually teach her even if she was enlightened, so I won't let her join in on the fun." The Imperial Consort Yi said that the reason her majesty had personally come to enlighten Princess Rong Chang was because she wanted to get closer to her daughter.
"I just want to know what Rong Chang learned when she opened her eyes. This way, I can adjust my progress so that I can talk with my little sisters." The Imperial Consort Yi laughed. She frequently brought Zhao Yi to the Kunning Palace, and due to Zhao Yi's liking as her mother, being on good terms with the Rong Chang sisters, these two points were more important than meeting the father more often.
People's hearts were biased.
She herself would definitely be biased towards Zhao Yi, so why would she mind His Majesty's bias?
Every time Zhu Chang Luo went to the Qianqing Palace, she would be asked like this by the Imperial Consort Gong. It was only then that Imperial Consort Gong found out that Rong Chang did not go to the Qianqing Palace that day, but went there every single day, the same as Zhu Chang Luo.
Consort Gong couldn't help but feel jealous and envious. She was just a princess, and even if she was born to the empress, could she be more powerful than the prince? When Consort Gong went to the Ci'an Palace, her expression couldn't help but change a little. But she didn't mention herself; she only said that Luo'er came back from the Palace every day and didn't eat at the Palace. She asked why Princess Rongchang ate with her father.
"Rong Chang spends her days in the Qianqing Palace?" Empress Dowager Li asked.
"I heard that His Majesty personally enlightened the princess." The Imperial Consort Gong laughed, "Compared to Princess Rong Chang's Holy Pet, even Luo'er and Princess Zhao Yi together can't compare."
"Rong Chang is the first daughter of the direct disciple. She is the first child of His Majesty. The Empress Dowager Li said, "How can you teach the Eldest Prince to quibble with the princess about the Holy Pet? No matter how much of a pampered the princess is, she is still a dowry for marriage. As a prince, your heart must be developed. As the mother of a prince, you can't teach your child to be stingy. "
Imperial Consort Gong immediately kneeled down, "I appreciate your kind words."
After Imperial Consort Gong left, Empress Dowager Li sent people to get the Queen to come over. Right now, she was quietly cultivating in the Palace of Tzu An, she was a tiger without claws and fangs, so Her Majesty would come every three days to pay respects, just taking care of official affairs. She didn't want to say anything more, not to mention listening to her lecture, the Queen would come to pay respects every day.
The Empress Dowager Li had called the Empress over. Right now, she could only rely on the Empress to pass her thoughts on to His Majesty, so even if the Queen was extremely obedient, she had to strike the nail on the head every now and then.
Wang Rong and When they came to Zhe An Palace, Empress Dowager Li asked her, "Why have I heard that Rong Chang has been staying at the Qianqing Palace everyday recently?"
"On a whim, His Majesty said that he wanted to enlighten Rong Chang, let's see how long she can last." Wang Rong said with a smile.
"Rong Chang and Luo'er have been enlightened. Where's Zhao Yi?" Empress Dowager Li asked.
"The Imperial Consort Yi is opening up for Zhao Yi too." Wang Rong He said, "Next year we'll set up a proper school so that the three of them can go to the school together. They are still young, there's no need to hide. The three siblings can get close to each other."
"Qianqing Palace is the residence of the Son of Heaven." The Empress Dowager Li said.
"This child originally thought the same. Today, pavilion officials also frequently come and go through the Qianqing Palace for Your Majesty, and Rong Chang often comes and goes through the Qianqing Palace as well, which might be inconvenient for him." Wang Rong softly said, "It's just that Your Majesty has plenty of free time right now. This son thought that it's not bad to enlighten Rong Chang, so he didn't advise her."
"You have to persuade His Majesty to go to court. What do the court officials think? What do the people think?" The Empress Dowager Li said, "What should the history books say?"
"Your son will advise you." Wang Rong He said, "Fortunately, the court official still sees it every day, and the imperial reports are also approved every day. There are no delays in the court affairs."
"How do you know? If the emperor didn't arrive early, the officials on the field wouldn't have been able to keep their hearts at ease. The undercurrents in the field are surging, and it's hard to say when they'd burst out." The Empress Dowager Li said.
"Your son did his best to advise you, but your mother knows that your majesty is not listening to it now either." Wang Rong said awkwardly.
"How did His Majesty become like this?" Empress Dowager Li said with sorrow.
Wang Rong didn't reply. It was you and Zhang Juzheng who had changed His Majesty to his current state.
A respected teacher from a young age had solemnly advised His Majesty to be diligent and thrifty. After that, he had indeed spent a lot of money.
A mother with strict discipline, from a prince to an emperor, did not lie at all. In the end, however, she had an indescribable pink ambiguous relationship with a foreign official.
It would be weird if Zhu Yijun didn't rebel.
When they arrived at Qianqing Palace, sure enough, His Majesty and Rong Chang had already eaten lunch. Rong Chang was carried away to have an afternoon nap and Zhu Yijun was waiting for her, "What did mother look for you for?"
"Nothing." Wang Rong He said.
"Lies." Zhu Yijun said, "Go and pay respects to the two empress dowager everyday, but you will be back soon after. If you return one day and visit Ci'an Palace again, it will definitely be mother who will be looking for you."
"Your Majesty is quite clear about my whereabouts." Wang Rong said with a smile.
palace maid gave her some hot water to wash her hands, and after receiving her instructions, she placed the table before her. Without further ado, she picked out three dishes and a bowl of stir-fried vegetables, serving them to her.
"How can I just eat these few?" Zhu Yijun asked as he looked unhappily.
"palace maid knows what I like to eat, but she didn't bring the rest in. I'm eating alone, it would be troublesome if I just brought them out." Wang Rong She said, "Your Majesty wants to eat with me?"
"I don't need it." Zhu Yijun shook his head and said, "Rong Chang wants to eat anything, and doesn't like eating a mouthful. He insisted on eating it from the beginning, and after he said that I would not waste it, I had to finish everything that was in the bowl, so in the end, we just ate our fill."
"Then, isn't that Her Majesty letting her off the hook?" Wang Rong smiled and said, "If your stomach feels too full, then you should eat some Ingurgitation Pills."
Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Rong and ate, and when he had finished drinking and rinsed his mouth, he asked again, "What did mother find you for?"
"Does your majesty not know what the mother is looking for me to say?" Wang Rong and looked at her.
"I wanted you to advise me to go to the imperial court. Just say your daily routine, why do you need to call me back to discuss it?" Zhu Yijun asked, "Are you going to say it yourself, or should we investigate it?"
"Nothing major." Wang Rong He said, "mother asked Rong Chang why she went in and out of the Qianqing Palace everyday, and said that the Qianqing Palace is an important place to our country, so it is not appropriate for Rong Chang to go in and out of the Qianqing Palace."
"Qianqing Palace is our palace, we can do whatever we want, whoever we want will not come, what does that have to do with other people?" Zhu Yijun said. Suddenly, he frowned, "mother wouldn't suddenly be concerned about such a small matter. It must be someone who spoke nonsense in front of her and wanted her to use this opportunity to beat you up."
"What kind of beating." Wang Rong said, "In the entire palace, there are only three emperors, of which Rong Chang is the most favored. But when there are more emperors in the palace, her majesty would have to dote on Rong Chang like this too."
"Needless to say, my heart." Zhu Yijun said. He only turned around and told Zhang Cheng to go ask. During the day, other than the empress, only the Imperial Consort Gong had been to Ci'an Palace.
Zhu Yijun sneered, "What kind of thing is it that you dare to be envious of Rong Chang's Holy Pet?"
He pondered for a moment. "If I tell Eldest Prince not to come tomorrow, Rong Chang will be enlightened by the empress and Zhao Yi will also be enlightened by the Imperial Consort Yi, then let Eldest Prince return to the Jingyang Palace and enlighten himself by the Imperial Consort Gong."
Imperial Consort Gong didn't believe it when she heard the news. Imperial Consort Yi was a talented woman not only in the harem, but also in the empress, not to mention that Rong Chang was not the empress at all, but his Majesty himself. She was only born in the palace maid, and had no talent in her womb.
"Eunuch, do you know why His Majesty suddenly changed his mind?" Imperial Consort Gong trembled as she asked. Just a few days ago, she thought that Luo'er had finally entered the eyes of the Emperor.
"His Majesty felt that the time spent by the Imperial Consort Gong at the Peace Palace was the best time to teach the Prince." Your Majesty felt that the time spent by the Imperial Consort Gong at the Peace Palace was the best time to educate the Prince. With that, the eunuch left. He did not want the bets that the Imperial Consort Gong sent him.
Imperial Consort Gong's entire body was trembling, she supported her in shock, "Empress, what happened to you?"
Imperial Consort Gong clenched her teeth. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Empress is your woman, am I not?
The empress is the only person in the palace, isn't everyone else?
Only Rong Chang is your daughter, so is Luo'er not your son? Can you even pass your throne down to your daughter?
I only grumbled a few times. The empress didn't even lose a bit of oil, yet you're so distressed that you want to vent your anger on her to punish me. It's fine if you punish me, but why must you punish Luo'er? He can attend Qianqing Palace school everyday, he's so happy. Your Majesty, can't you tell?
"Empress." The palace maid said worriedly.
"I'm fine." Her face was pale, but her eyes were sharp and bright. "Back then, the empress dowager was only born in the palace maid, so if she could teach His Majesty, how could I not?"
Empress Dowager Li very quickly heard the news that Eldest Prince was chased back to be enlightened by Imperial Consort Gong, she only felt that her majesty's action was to slap her face. Empress Dowager Li had self-consciously not said a single heavy word to Wang Rong, but in exchange for such a result.
He also wouldn't allow Wang Rongwen to come and pay his respects.
However, Wang Rong He still came daily to Zhe An Palace to pay his respects and only made a turn outside the hall before returning. The Empress Dowager Li deeply hated her for doing such a thing, but she was powerless.
Because she also wanted face.
If the empress was not allowed to enter the Palace of Peace, she might not be able to settle things afterwards.
It was clear that mother didn't want to see her at this time, but she couldn't just not go because she didn't want to. As a daughter-in-law, if she didn't mention it, then she would be speechless in the future.
Since it was just a matter of a few steps, Wang Rongwei would rather take his place in advance than be affected later on.
Imperial Consort Zheng did not participate in this, as the child had not yet landed on the ground. It was still too early to say that, but Imperial Consort Zheng was very disdainful, so her child was naturally more useless than Eldest Prince.
Imperial Consort Zheng was very confident that her child would be blessed with a saint pet. She was only worried about one thing, that was, if she was pregnant, she wouldn't be able to sleep with them.
While calling the emperor to act like a spoiled brat and have him stay behind, the Imperial Noble Lady Yu will have the chance to receive the favor, and at the same time, will spare no effort to attack the Imperial Noble Lady Yu.
After Zhou Yuting went through a lot of ups and downs, her heart had long ago become extraordinary. This was the reason why she came to the Imperial Consort Zheng to seek refuge.
She returned to the imperial harem for only two reasons. One was to obtain the favor of the emperor, and the second was to make her feel the pain she had suffered in the Clothes Washing Bureau all those years ago.
If not for Imperial Consort Guo, she might have been the Empress back then.
