"I am guarding my body and my heart. I do not wish to love Your Majesty."
"If the Empress did not love His Majesty, how could she possibly guard her heart? To use the word 'heart to protect' means that the heart did not belong to the Empress a long time ago."
Wang Rong closed her eyes on the bed, and ended the conversation she had with Nutty in the bathroom by dipping into the water and not talking about it, but she knew Nutty was right.
If she really treated His Majesty as her boss, then the room would be one of the jobs, the one she was most reluctant to do. But if she didn't do it, then there would be no pay. However, she had chosen not to do it. She could delay it once, twice, even three times, but in the end, there would always be a day when she would be unable to delay it, or her superior would know that she deliberately avoided doing it.
It's not the one or two or three reasons you're refusing, it's because you don't want to do it, it's because you don't want to do it.
How could they not be enraged?
From her point of view, she really couldn't share a husband with another woman. It was her idea to share a different house with a different person, and she felt that apart from that, she could not blame anyone else for what she had done.
But when he looked at himself, he sometimes couldn't see it clearly.
From the onlookers' perspective, what was the difference between Third Sister-in-Law and Third Brother, who was afraid of pain and afraid of having children, and Third Sister-in-Law, who was not in the same room with Third Brother? Because he was the Third Brother's daughter-in-law, from the Third Brother's point of view, she felt that she was unreasonable. That sister of His Majesty, when he found out about this, did he also feel that she was unreasonable?
Third sister didn't want to be a wife or concubine, she was just worried that these people would affect her position. After all, they were the ones who would have children.
Right now, she treated His Majesty's imperial concubine equally and welcomed them to be her concubines. Wasn't it because she knew that her position was stable? If her position wasn't stable, would she still be so indifferent?
If she was the empress, could she be a good-for-nothing empress?
To His Majesty, the people who smiled at him every day were those who despised him from the bottom of their hearts and did not want to get close to him. Most likely, his anger was above that of the Third Brother, after all, his Third Sister-in-Law did not act like her, and pretended that they were good people.
Wang Rong He stared at the ceiling, knowing that he would not be able to sleep tonight.
The next day, he woke up in low spirits. At this moment, it was dark green and he came over to kneel. "I went over yesterday. Mother, please punish me."
"Get up." "This has nothing to do with you."
"If I had not said those words, the Empress would not have been able to rest well." No disease.
"So you're here to seek rewards?" Is what you said very reasonable? " Wang Rong said deliberately.
She only looked at her and said, "Whatever the Empress decides, I will support the Empress."
"But you have to say what you have to say, in case I don't blame you when I turn back later on." Wang Rong He said.
"Regardless of whether it is in the wind or the rain, I will only follow the Empress." "I'm here to accompany the Empress."
Wang Rong He squeezed her hand, "Then why haven't you gotten up yet? I only want one person to stand by my side, not one person to kneel by my side."
With her delicate hands, she used a bit of makeup on Wang Rong and her face to cover up her fatigue. Wang Rong and her happiness could only be shown in her eyes.
Returning from the two palaces, Gu Yanxi asked her if she would like to pick up Princess Rong Chang from the Qianqing Palace today, so she could eat with her majesty along the way. Rong Chang had been enlightened by his Majesty personally, but Wang Rong and her did not go to the Qianqing Palace every day. Rong Chang always came back after having a meal or a snack with his majesty.
Wang Rong said after pondering for a moment, "Let your majesty send Rong Chang back today, we will both eat at the Kunning Palace."
Li Gong went to pass a message to the Qianqing Palace, then Gu Yanxi, Furong and the others went down to arrange for the king to come over for lunch later. Wang Rong and others brought out the wine that she brewed last year.
It had been a long time since the Empress had the leisure to welcome His Majesty like this. Her Kunning Palace was brimming with joy, and she was full of energy.
Zhu Yijun brought Rong Chang along for Kunning Palace, and seeing this posture, he laughed, "Where did the sun come from today? Zitong is in such a good mood today? "
"Is His Majesty blaming me for being lazy?" Wang Rong asked.
"I don't dare, I don't dare." Zhu Yijun laughed and said, "Zitong is in high spirits, I am happy too."
Waiting for the wine to arrive, Wang Rong He personally filled Zhu Yijun's cup, and Zhu Yijun said: "Could it be that something good happened today?"
"I have some good news for Your Majesty. We'll talk about it after dinner." Wang Rong He said.
But in the end, it didn't work out.
The Imperial Consort Zheng Empress was pregnant, causing Zhu Yijun to be overjoyed. Wang Rong said to Zhu Yijun, "After dinner, Your Majesty can go visit the Imperial Consort Zheng."
"Alright." Zhu Yijun said.
After sending Zhu Yijun off, Rong Chang also went to rest. Wang Rong sat in a daze, and suddenly said to Nutty: "You see, if you miss something, you might as well miss it. If you want to take over, there will always be various accidents, and everything will not go as you wish."
"The Empress is interested. We can tell His Majesty another day." No problem said.
"There's no need to change the date, and there's no need to make any special arrangements. If he thinks of it one day, let him know." Wang Rong gave a bitter smile. "It seems that I really like him. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let him know just because of a change, even wanting to show some formality."
"His Majesty is a nine or five year old one. It's not strange that the Empress likes him." No disease.
"If I liked him because of his identity, I wouldn't be so conflicted." She sighed. "His Majesty treats me quite well."
"The Empress does not need to go from one horn to the other." She said, "Right now, there is nothing that can make the Empress worry. Does Empress want to summon Miss Ruoyun to ask about the affairs of the businesses outside. The Empress once said, other than love, there are many other interesting things in the world."
"It would be boring for a woman to spend her life thinking about love." "You see, I remember everything you say."
"Right, then did you specially say it at this time so that I would feel embarrassed?" Wang Rong made a face. "Love, ah. I don't get it. I won't do it anymore."
Since Imperial Consort Zheng was pregnant this time, Her Majesty did not push for the promotion, but only gave her a lot of rewards. He was also worried that Imperial Consort Zheng would not be able to take this bit of good fortune because of the kindness he had given her, so she decided to wait for the child to be safely born before raising her position.
Wang Rong and Ruoyun were called into the palace, but she, Third Brother, was the first to pass a message, wanting to see her.
Wang Rong He saw his own Third Brother at Gonghou Garden, so he was majestically dressed in full dress. After he bowed to Wang Rong, he stood at the side and did not speak for a while.
Wang Rong ordered others to wait outside the pavilion while looking at her Third Brother, "Is there anything else you can't tell me about the difficulties? Isn't it just the two of us who are closest to each other? "
Since Wang Rong had asked Wang Yaliang to sit, he did not sit either.
"There is one thing that is difficult for me to say." Wang Yaliang said.
"Since you're standing here, aren't you prepared to tell me?" Wang Rong He said.
"This has something to do with you." Wang Yaliang said.
"Then you don't need to worry. I can't possibly be angry at you." Wang Rong He said.
"You want to summon Ruoyun into the palace." Wang Yaliang said, "Although she is willing to confess, I can't let her, a woman, take the lead."
Wang Rong He's expression froze, "You and Ruoyun?"
"Yes. We've met a few times in the past few years and both of us have a good impression of each other. " Wang Yaliang said.
"No wonder I said why she didn't marry for such a long time." Wang Rong was stunned.
"I can't let her be a concubine."
Even when she chatted with others about how she despised her first-rate concubine, she always felt that being humble with others was a waste of herself. How could she let her be a concubine, even if it was her own brother's concubine?
If she wanted to.
That made things even more awkward. She thought that she was a close friend, but her actions betrayed her thoughts. She then thought of other things, so how could she still trust her like before?
"I won't let her be my concubine, and she isn't willing to be." Wang Yaliang said, "I told Grandmother that I wanted to divorce her, but Grandmother said that I can't. At most, I can only divorce her in."
"Have you talked about the matter of a wife with Ruoyun? What does she think? " Wang Rong He said. Being a concubine and being an even wife, the latter would naturally be treated well, but the harm done to the wife would be multiplied. She felt that when wives competed, why did a woman make things difficult for women? Could it be that she was better off than a wife, then she could become a concubine? That was because she was the one who made things difficult for others, not herself.
"I haven't told her." Wang Yaliang said, "When she is together with me, she is only 30% happy. The remaining 70% is out of self-loathing, and sometimes she would tell me that she hated me for not marrying her, but then she would also know that even if I did not marry her, I would not be able to marry her.
"She used to blame me for teasing her. She didn't see me very often when I went to see her.
"I made her so miserable." Wang Yaliang said. Since I offended her, I can't let her suffer so much for the rest of her life. "
"Maybe it's because of me." Wang Rong said, "She has been on good terms with me since she was a child, so we have the same opinion on many matters. Since I put down all opinions to ask her to be my steward, she is not afraid of rumors, so she stubbornly follows behind me. She does everything that's been entrusted to her and does it well for me."
"If she didn't have this relationship with me, perhaps she would have long since followed you into the manor."
"With her intelligence and ability, I'm afraid that Third Sister-in-Law will be fine by now." Wang Rong He said.
"You still feel sorry for that woman?" Wang Yaliang raised his voice slightly. You still feel sorry for her? You don't know what she did to me? "
"She hurt you." Wang Ronghe said, "But she is your proper wife, and if you want to show her kindness now, she will not be able to do anything about it. I am also the official wife. I cannot be the only one who has a good wife. If it is someone else's turn, then the concubine will be the best, the concubine will be the best. "Then who am I?"
"You don't understand what she did to me." Wang Yaliang's tone even changed, "You know, sometimes I even feel that I'm still a man? Where did I do badly? I was despised like this. "You care that she's your wife, but why don't you care that your brother is your wife? She doesn't treat you as a human being at all."
Wang Rong He silently shed tears.
After Wang Yaliang finished venting, he saw that she was both crying and helpless, "Don't cry, I didn't cry to get on your good side."
"If not for Ruoyun, I would probably have passed by like this. After a few years, I won't be in the mood to be stubborn anymore." Wang Yaliang said, "But when I see her, I can't help but want to go see her. Even if she doesn't see me, or if she was looking at me secretly, I feel really good about myself."
"I didn't go to the fireworks area after that." Wang Yaliang said.
"I know your suffering." Wang Rong He said, "If Ruoyun is also willing, then let her decide what she wants, and it'll help, I won't interfere."
