Ruoyun came into the palace and explained the things that happened in the businesses, "Among the cargo ships to the south, the Empress said that she paid more attention to strange seed organisms that she had never seen before, and I let people see those that could grow one, and tried to plant them all. I heard that there were actually some that grew a few, and now that a shipment of goods has entered the capital, they said that they have fed the birds, and the birds are fine."
"The storekeeper's mouth is shut. He didn't tell anyone."
"Let's go to the palace and take a look. It would be great if we could get some fresh food there." Wang Rongwei said that she paid attention to sweet potatoes and corn, with these two, ordinary people's life is better.
"Of all the ships that go out to sea, only we collect strange things. Everyone else thinks it's strange." Ruoyun said. I heard from the people on the boat that the land on the islands to the south is quite fertile, unlike ours. If it wasn't for the fact that we were worried about the risks of the ship on the sea, we would still be banned from the sea. Normally, everyone would be sneaking around, but that would be too much of a problem.
"If it wasn't for the lack of food, this sort of trip would have cost me a lot." Wang Rong He shook his head and said, "It's just food. Even if it's something you can save when you're lacking, you can't say it."
Ruoyun talked about her recent gains. When she finished with her work, it was about time for him to leave the palace.
Wang Rong He looked at her and asked, "Don't you have anything else to tell me?"
Ruoyun trembled, and she forced out a smile, "The Empress knows."
"I also know that I can't keep it a secret from the Empress for the rest of my life. "But I also have a bit of a fluke, so it's fine as long as esteemed wangfei doesn't know."
"The Empress must be very disappointed in me." Ruoyun asked.
"Whether you're disappointed or not, it's still your own life." Wang Ronghe said, "I just want to know what you think. Does aunt and cousin know? "
"My mother doesn't know, my brother does." Ruoyun said, "Third Young Master always comes to find me, even a fool can tell."
"Of course they want me to enter the manor. It's better than not knowing the reason. With my identity, being able to become the Third Young Master's concubine is already something that I can do." Ruoyun said.
"Do you want to enter the mansion?" Wang Rong asked.
"I don't know. I've thought about it all these years, but I still don't understand." Ruoyun said, "I know, Third Mistress has said that I have to keep my concubine's child under her name. Once I enter the house, no matter how nice Third Young Master treats me, I will have to establish a rule in front of Young Mistress, and won't be pampered because I am a person of the Empress."
"More importantly, I know that if I were to enter the mansion, the Empress would no longer allow me to be in charge." Ruoyun laughed bitterly.
"Do you know why?" Wang Rong asked her after seeing that she knew.
"I was originally close with the Empress, and helped her manage things. If I were to enter the manor and manage things, everyone would know that the Empress was supporting Third Young Master in pampering his concubine to eliminate his wife." Ruoyun said.
"Since that's the case, do you still wish to enter the mansion?" Wang Rong asked.
"My brother advised me that a woman's entire life is to marry and have children. I didn't think much of it in the past, and recently, I've often felt that it was a bit of a waste to think too highly of myself. Ruoyun smiled bitterly, "Perhaps I can handle it well without the Third Young Master. But with the Third Young Master, I think that someone will love me dearly, and thus, I feel more inclined to do it alone."
"You love him?" Wang Rong asked.
"It should be love." Ruoyun laughed bitterly, "Otherwise, even though I knew it was like a moth to a flame, I couldn't control my heart."
"I can't be a queen mother beating a mandarin duck." Wang Rong He said, "Looking at Third Brother like this, my heart hurts too."
"Go back and prepare for your marriage." Wang Rong He said, "I will always let you enjoy the limelight."
Ruoyun was startled for a moment, but seeing that Wang Rong and her thousands of words were stuck in his heart, he kneeled down in front of her and kowtowed three times, "I will never forget the Empress's care for me in this life. In the future, if I do not have the fortune to see the Empress again, I will pray for her health and safety at home."
"Yes." Wang Rong said, "Wuyou, send Ruoyun out."
Wang Rong was stunned as she looked at the empty sky. "Are you saying that I'm too inflexible?"
"There are many wives and concubines in this world, and each one depends on their own abilities when it comes to fighting in the backyard."
"It's just that I thought she had the Third Brother's protection and was already in an invincible position in the backyard. If I still turned towards her, Third Sister would be too pitiful, even though she was asking for it." Wang Rong Wen said as she scratched her head, "It's fine, since she's in Third Brother's courtyard, the two of them will give birth to sweet and sweet children, so they can't help me manage it anymore."
"The Empress is doing everything she wants to do." No disease.
I don't care about people who don't have anything to do with me. I only care about the few people who are close to me. Wang Rong He said. Even when it came to matters between men and women, her way of thinking was different from ordinary people. This made her feel awkward.
But soon, one day, she will assimilate with them.
When Xu Duzhong heard the news that the empress had decided to heal completely, his heart relaxed quite a bit. He waited for the emperor to ask about his esteemed body so he could tell his majesty that the Empress had already recovered.
However, His Majesty called him over. "The first two births in Imperial Consort Zheng were not good, and I'm really afraid. She begged you with us, so you should go listen to her."
"Your subject obeys the decree." Xu Duzhong asked.
"But you can't let go of the Queen's vein. You have to see it for yourself." Zhu Yijun explained.
He did not wait for His Majesty to ask if the Empress was well, and when he thought of the Empress's orders, he did not need to take the initiative to say them. He looked at His Majesty. His Majesty might never know what he had missed.
The closing and opening of the Empress.
Wang Rong went to write a letter and had her grandmother bring Third Mistress to the palace. Wang Rong asked directly, "Are you prepared to go through with it? You're not going to change? "
Third Mistress had always come to see the empress and queen face to face. She was not one to put on airs, especially in front of her family, so she had always thought that the empress and sister-in-law were easy to get along with. She slightly raised her eyebrows.
"I can't just watch my Third Brother suffer, there's no one by my side who knows what's good for themselves." Wang Rong He said, "I have a cousin who is unmarried due to me. She is beautiful and intelligent, and is well-educated. I wish to marry her to the Third Brother."
"How can the people of the Empress just give it to the Third Young Master? The Third Young Master treats his wife so well, didn't he treat the Empress slowly?" Third Mistress did not expect Wang Rong to say this, and said while trembling.
"Yes, I want Third Brother to take her as my wife." Wang Rong said calmly.
"An equal wife is only a merchant's business with the highest interests. The old wife of the family runs the household while the young and old. He has made another wife outside. He is kind and attentive to people's business, so who wouldn't be laughed at when he makes an equal wife?" It's the most tangible evidence that a concubine is killed. " The Third Mistress said, "If Empress wants someone to be her equal wife to Third Young Master, I will smash myself to death in Kunning Palace. I will let everyone see, the famous and wise Empress is still a human."
"Bang." Wang Rong leisurely poured a cup of tea and said, "You behaved inappropriately in front of me, bumping into the empress and scaring her to death. Not only did you die in vain, your family will also suffer."
Third Mistress looked at Lady Cui helplessly. Lady Cui's heart was thumping, she was just about to pinch the handkerchief and open her mouth, when Wang Rong looked at him and said, "Mother, could it be that you have seen a lot of little sisters at Kunning Palace?" Don't take my courtesy for granted. If I don't let you see me, you can forget about meeting your daughter.
The Lady Cui thought more deeply about it. After all, Xi'er was in the palace, and it wasn't that the Queen wanted her to live, it was just that the Queen wanted her to die.
Lady Cui's face turned pale and she stopped talking at once. She also turned her head away from Third Mistress.
Third Mistress felt that there was no hope, so she kneeled down towards Wang Rong, "Empress, I know I was wrong. I will definitely get along well with Third Young Master when I return to my residence this time."
"Empress, it's not that I'm unvirtuous, but if I don't concubine Third Young Master, I have prepared a lot of things for him that he doesn't like. I don't know what kind of things Third Young Master likes, but I will definitely ask and I will definitely continue to look for them. I will definitely find something satisfactory for Third Young Master. " "The Third Mistress pleaded. "Empress, for the sake of being both women, pity me. The Empress has personally pointed out that an equal wife should enter the palace. Where can I find a place for her?"
"It's fine if you don't have a wife." Wang Ronghe looked at her and said, "Just treat it as a concubine carrying the child through the door, but there's one thing. She will take the child with her."
The Third Mistress shook her head, "Esteemed Empress, putting the child in my name is also for the child's own good.
Wang Rong He shook his head, "It can't be fake, it can't be fake. Do you think that the direct descendant is the direct descendant?" You can't treat him as your own mother, so can you treat his mother as if she never had a child? "
"Even if the child grew up and found out about his own background, he would still look for his own mother." Wang Rong He said. You don't have to worry that if the child isn't raised in front of you, it will treat you badly. "
"The Wang Clan doesn't need to go that far."
"I will treat the child as if it were my own." Third Mistress pleaded. A son, a concubine, and a daughter are, after all, all unpleasant to hear. "
"You know that concubines and concubines are bad to listen to, but my Third Brother no longer has a direct son because of you. Even if the Wang family were to divorce you, so what? The young lady of your family only marries and is not willing to serve her husband. If word of this gets out, then how is your young lady qualified to do so? "
"As for me and the Duke Yongnian Palace, I will naturally take back some setbacks as well. However, very soon, others will forget about it. Although it is a bit heartless to have a daughter-in-law who has committed a crime for seven times, she can still stand properly. Wang Rong He said, "Do you believe that as long as the house owner is determined to divorce her, your parents would rather have your illness die in the house than happily bring you home?"
Third Mistress laid lifelessly on the ground. She knew that she wouldn't be able to turn everything around.
"Grandmother, please choose a good day to prepare for Third Brother." Wang Rong said, "Although Ruoyun and I are old, for the sake of harmony within the family, Grandmother's rules will still be set."
"You still want the Empress to worry about the trivial matters at home? You truly have no face for the Empress." the old lady said.
"Grandmother, please don't mind me being nosy." Wang Rong He said. "Since Grandmother knows that I am similar in age to Third Brother and that we are siblings, she decided to take over her duties. Grandmother, please go home and explain it to father."
"I just don't know if the third young master is willing or not. I've found many people for him, but he doesn't want any of them." It really breaks the heart of his father and me. " The old lady had said that since the Empress had covered up the fact that Ruoyun and the three youngsters had been in contact since a long time ago, she had only pretended that she didn't know, while the others didn't.
Pure.
"He's one of my people. If he dares to push me, then get him to look for me." Wang Rong He said.
Third Mistress felt hope again. After all, her grandmother had rushed out of the hospital without any hesitation when she gave Third Young Master a concubine. As long as Third Young Master didn't want this concubine that the Empress had pushed over, there would be no problem in the future.
But in the end, she was also disappointed.
Although Third Young Master didn't look happy, he still accepted the concubine that the empress had given him. Only now did Third Mistress remember that the Lady Cui had told her before that in this family, as long as the empress wanted to do something, there was nothing he couldn't do.
Although the uncle's house was not full of gifts, but it was still full of gifts to be accepted by the Third Young Master. He had already investigated it thoroughly, and found out that Ruoyun was actually engaged to the Third Young Master's mother, and had been working on the dowry for the empress for the past few years.
Such a great Buddha truly did not have a good life after entering the door.
Third Mistress was sick, her mother and sister-in-law came to see her, "I told you not to pinch her long ago, now you know you're scared. The other family has been very polite to you. If you don't know what's good for you, then stop, and just kick your nose in the face. Alright, now that they have picked you up, let's see what you can do in the future. "
"They've gone too far." "It's the empress who wants her brother to pamper his concubine and eliminate his wife. I can see through her, a person born in the Imperial Guard, with no sense of propriety at all. Not to mention being fair and honest, why did you and Father push me into this pit of fire back then."
Seeing her daughter like this wasn't good either. Her sister-in-law was quite disgusted with this act, but she still had to persuade her. "Girl, hurry up and get better. Using your body to act like this will only affect your nieces in the family. In the future, it will not be good for you to talk about marriage."
This young lady and the old lady have chosen a concubine for Young Master, and Young Master is not used to it either. After all these years, the empress can't stand watching over me anymore.
"He doesn't want me to find someone to serve him, but he wants the person his sister is looking for? If the empress wants her to raise her son herself, then what hope do I have in the future? "
This lady really hopes that her son will honor her as if she were her own mother? "It's all about face. It's only about face now." "Her sister-in-law said that she thought it would be easy for her to raise a child, as it was not something an ordinary person could do. But when a girl asked for a child, she let the nurse watch over the child, and when she thought about it, she thought that raising a child like this would only be a dream.
"It's a good thing that the mansion still talks about rules and regulations." Her mother also advised her, "This is a little better. Since the Empress personally said that all the children in this life were concubines, Young Master will not pamper his concubine to destroy his wife. If I really do eliminate you, then I'll take a concubine as my wife."
"He dares?" Third Mistress said in fear, "He's not afraid of the reputation of his entire family? Not afraid of empress's reputation? "
Reputation is just a lie. If someone says you can't kill them, then who would offend the empress? Besides, there's an empress in the family who is favored by the emperor and has a virtuous reputation." "Her mother advised." "Besides, the Empress bestowed upon her brother someone by her side, someone who didn't even have a noble concubine. She's only a concubine, and after marrying into the Manor, she's no longer in charge. But isn't this kind enough to be worthy of you?
"No matter how much you talk about it, no one will ever tell you that the Empress isn't the case."
"Take care of yourself. "Don't let Mother worry about you anymore."
When Third Young Master's new aunt entered the door, he should have been a good concubine. He carried in a palanquin from the side door, fixed the dowry eight times, and when the girl came to read the reports, he found that they were all practical things.
Ruoyun's dowry looked normal, but the cheap silver notes and the land of the shop were not worth looking at.
The Third Mistress lowered her head and clasped her hands, showing that she did not want to deal with it. Ruoyun wore a set of pink clothes, had pink fluff on her hairpin, and did not break the etiquette, holding tea in her hand to pay her respects to the Third Mistress. When Third Mistress was in trouble, she would always kneel.
"Please have tea with my wife." Ruoyun lowered her head and said.
The eldest young mistress didn't even bother to look at her stupid, pig-like sister-in-law. The mansion wasn't considered one of the top families in the capital, but in her opinion, his father-in-law and grandma still taught their children well. They had a pure and upright family, and just didn't like the idea of taking in concubines, which was much better than other families.
With such a special identity, it was hard to portray the identity of the mistress. She had seen Ruoyun before, she was very smart and capable, the sister-in-law had even wanted to put on the airs of a mistress after a long time, to the point that she even had to make a face for Ruoyun when her grandma came to visit her grandson's concubine feast. She had to put on such an expression, put on an act, and displease the disciple.
He was pretending to be virtuous and magnanimous in order to give his third brother a concubine, but third brother didn't want it. If this was a threat, then he wouldn't be able to keep his virtuous and magnanimous skin.
Innocent.
This was also a warning to her sister-in-law that she absolutely could not teach her daughter like this.
Third Mistress was pushed by the little girl, he then received the tea and put it down the moment he touched his lips, then took a red letter from the little girl's hand and gave it to her, "I don't know what to prepare, I know that little sister likes yellow and white things, so I'll make some money, little sister, don't think that it's too little."
"After all, my younger sister is someone the Empress has personally pointed out to enter. In the future, I will need to rely on my younger sister's care." The Third Mistress said.
"Ruoyun would not dare." Ruoyun lowered her head and said.
"Alright, come and take a seat." The old lady said.
"Wait a minute, I know that many people in this mansion know that Ruoyun is capable, but in the future, only the Third Branch's Aunt Zhang and no longer has any Miss Ruoyun. Everyone should also be vigilant, this mansion's rules cannot be seen as a joke by outsiders." Third Mistress said that she was only the first mother's cousin, it would be laughable if she had to put up her face and take him as her cousin.
It was just that she did not know, and no one had told her before, that Madam Zhang was an existence that could not be neglected in this house, and was even more important than the empress.
There were a lot of things she didn't know.
As a result, in the future, Third Young Master and Aunt Zhang's relationship was very close, and there was love between them as well as love, and children were born one after the other. Looking at her with hot eyes, she felt empty under her knees, and wanted a child, and now it was Third Young Master's turn to abandon her and refuse to get close to her, making her jealous and jealous.
Everyone had to be responsible for their own decisions. Third Mistress did not think that when she made his decision, she would ignore it and not leave any leeway behind.
