After much difficulty in coaxing Wang Rong, Zhu Yijun finally knew that it was because his grandmother's body was hurt. Zhu Yijun stroked her back, "Life and death, can't be changed by human means, what's the use of you. Besides, your grandma won't be able to take it in just a few days, so you should be sad first. "
"I lost my mother when I was a baby, and my grandmother treated me like she was raising my eyes. My relationship with my grandmother was that she would leave me one day, never to see me again, and my heart ached." Wang Rong choked on her tears.
"But one day she will go first." Zhu Yijun said, "So it's like this, there is an imperial physician surnamed Qin in the Imperial Hospital, his treatment of the old man is pretty severe. We have asked him to go to the Duke Yongnian Palace to stay there to recuperate."
Wang Rong was still a bit depressed as she mumbled to herself, "Grandmother was sick because she was worried about me. Her body was hollowed out. She was in good health before, but it was all my fault."
"You also said that you and your grandmother are very close. Do you think your grandmother would like what you're doing now?" Zhu Yijun patiently consoled her, "It would only be good if you did. She wants to know how heartbroken you are crying, so you have to cry too. "
Zhu Yijun let the others bring him hot water, he had even used his handkerchief to wipe Wang Rong's face, "Look at this crying kitten, Rong Chang will laugh at you if she sees it."
"His Majesty has seen me in such an ugly state. Is His Majesty laughing at me?" Wang Rong asked as she grabbed onto Zhu Yijun's clothes.
"It's pretty ugly." Zhu Yijun carefully looked at Wang Rong He's face and said, his face was red, his eyes were also swollen, "But I am not laughing at you, I love you."
Being condoned by others, the pain in her heart wanted to be released. Wang Rong threw herself into Zhu Yijun's embrace and cried once again.
Zhu Yijun was a little helpless, "Is it because of my advice? Why are you crying again? "
Wang Rong He shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, please wait for me to cry a little longer."
After crying out all the fear and weakness in her heart, Wang Rong and she regained her composure. She sent all the ingredients, tonics, and medicine to the Duke Yongnian Palace. If she had to reject His Majesty's kind intentions because she was worried that others would say that the empress had treated her family with too much preferential treatment, she would be too stupid. Fame was not as important as a grandmother's body.
In the past, she would never give preferential treatment to the Duke Yongnian Palace. If he was slightly better to the Duke Yongnian Palace, then Wang Rong and the two empress dowager's family would go to the palace and help them. Because of the frequent visits to the palace, the frequency of visits from the empress dowager's family was also much higher than before.
"His Imperial Majesty was wrong." Wang Rong said in a serious tone, "This is not about being pampered and being proud, this is about being in charge. In matters that don't matter, focus on creating your own reputation, it's about personal benefits and not your reputation. Of course, you are the most important."
"As for me now, Grandmother's body is the most important thing. I can put the rest aside for now." Wang Ronghe said, "If she delayed Grandmother's health because she was afraid of her reputation, then wouldn't she be turning the tables?"
"I am the empress. If it is like I have married an ordinary person and am helpless against my grandmother's health, does that not mean that His Majesty is like an ordinary person? Even if it is for the sake of His Majesty, I want to take advantage of him." Wang Rong He said.
"You've already said all the reasonable things." Zhu Yijun laughed.
"Originally, rather than listening to others reason, it would be better to listen to one's own reasoning." Wang Ronghe said, "There are tens of thousands of great Daos, and all of them are reasonable. We only want to see whose reasoning we will end up listening to."
Sometimes, doesn't that make sense? Sometimes, people just don't listen to logic, and that's how they think, for example, if you go to the Duke Yongnian Palace this time, the mother will remember you as someone who took advantage of others. Zhu Yijun said.
"I don't care." Wang Rong smiled, "Your Majesty, you don't have to scam me either. Even if I was the good empress that the mother likes, Your Majesty wouldn't like me for a long time."
"Haha." Zhu Yijun raised his head and laughed, "We love your strength, no one else is like you."
"No one else." Wang Rong said indifferently, "It's just a woman from the imperial harem. Your Majesty seems to have written it a thousand times, but in truth, each of them has their own special characteristics. It's just that Your Majesty is too lazy to explore further."
"If the king finds their exploration boring, it is only because they have made the opposite choice. I have chosen to be a bit more relaxed in front of him, and they want to show off their unassailable perfection in front of him."
"It is also due to my status being unequal. If I were His Majesty's concubine now, I wouldn't dare act so rashly." Wang Rong He smiled again as he held Zhu Yijun's arm, "Thank you, your majesty, for making me the empress. It can't be any better."
After accompanying His Majesty and also accompanying Rong Chang, after taking care of matters of the palace, Wang Rong and finally had a little time to take care of her. Fangruo had long been called over to wait for the news, and as a errand runner in the Palace Manager Bureau, even if she didn't have rank, she wouldn't mind. In the future, she still had to return to the empress's side to serve.
"Do you want your Qixiang Palace back?" Wang Rong asked.
"When will Gu Yanxi and the rest return?" Fangruo asked.
"I have already told Palace Manager Cui to prepare and release the aged palace maid s out of the palace. Afterwards, I will choose a small batch of people to enter the palace to fill in the gaps. Wang Rong He said. Oh yeah, I also need you to inform them about this matter. Gu Yanxi, Yu Di Jian, come into the palace first, if not, let her properly give birth to her baby and then come back. Tell her to accompany the old lady in the Duke Yongnian Palace for me. "
Fangruo nodded her head and said, "Then, this servant will return to the Qixiang Palace together with you.
Wang Rong looked at Fangruo, "You are usually smart and have opinions, could it be that something is going to happen in the palace?"
"There are some developments, but I can't say for sure right now." Fangruo shook her head and said, "But it's probably not harmful to the Empress, it might actually benefit her."
Hearing that, Wang Rong became serious, "What do you think of Palace Manager Cui at Palace Manager?" She had entered the palace from marriage and had never interfered with the people of the six divisions. Perhaps other people thought that she was favoured by the empress, but they would do as they said. Perhaps she believed it like this. The people of the Six Paths of the empress were also well-adjusted to the empress treating the Six Paths as tools and not as their own people, as if they were at ease or lost.
In addition to the emperor, there were three other proper lords in the palace, as well as female officials who were fed various favors by the second wives. She did not try to rope them in because she knew that as long as she wanted, she could change and retrain everyone in the palace, and in that way, she would be a relatively clean person.
It was not easy to replace all the female officials on a large scale, so she had been waiting and watching. Humans were very deceptive. If it wasn't for the passage of time, one wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the real and the fake.
"Palace Manager Cui is a calm and reliable person, her control over the six rounds is extraordinary." Fangruo said, "Furthermore, Palace Manager Cui has a rather human nature, and is very popular in the six rounds."
"Six sets of six Palace Manager s are all obedient to the Great Palace Manager Palace Manager Cui?" Wang Rong asked, but after receiving confirmation, she smiled, "That Palace Manager Cui is truly a wonderful person."
"Palace Manager Cui was promoted to Great Palace Manager only one month before the election. I heard that due to her age and seniority, the rest of the Palace Manager were not convinced at all. They only waited for the Empress to enter the palace before gradually gaining a foothold.
"She voted for me early on." Wang Rong thought of something and said, "From the first day I entered the palace, I don't know if it was because she was smart, or because someone was giving her advice."
"Didn't the Empress trust Palace Manager Cui a lot?" Fangruo asked.
Wang Rong couldn't help but laugh as he shook his head, "I only said that she should do normal palace duties. Trust her, it isn't an easy thing to do. At the very least, it's a life threatening matter, so I didn't dare to ask her to do it."
Fangruo laughed, "Why would the Empress want to die?"
"Not having one right now doesn't mean not having one forever." Wang Rong He said, "After you entered the palace, you all saw the difference between me and you guys, but you can't blame me for being biased. She served me since I was young, and she was the person I was willing to entrust my life to."
"This servant will do my best to serve the Empress, I dare not compare myself to her." Fangruo said.
"There's no need to compare yourself to her. Your uses are different." Wang Rong He said.
"If the palace maid beside me says that they don't trust anyone the most, then it's your turn. After all, there are previous examples." Wang Rong She suddenly laughed, and looked at the nervous Fangruo and said: "But back then when I made an agreement with you, you did very well, so we can let bygones be bygones, and let bygones be bygones, it is the new beginning. You have stayed in the Clothes Washing Bureau for such a long time, yet you still wish to enter there to wait upon me, and you have to rely on your own abilities. At that time, I would think that as long as you do not go about things in two or three ways, I will trust you without a doubt. "
"Although I didn't have you wait on me, I still wanted you to meet with Palace Manager Cui from the beginning. One day, you will take my place."
"Because I can feel that you are not looking forward to getting married out of the palace, nor do you want to one day serve Your Majesty. If you want to live a good life in the harem, the Great palace maid who holds power is the result of your pursuit."
Fangruo kneeled on the ground, "To be honest, esteemed wangfei, this servant had lived a rough life, when I sold myself into the palace and became a palace maid, I swore that I would never go back and lead a life like this, but serving Your Majesty, this servant knows what he's worth, and absolutely does not dare to hope. I, your servant, did many evil deeds during the Chuxiu Palace to pick a good master and perform well. I didn't think that if I were to take the wrong path, the Empress would not mind the former grudges and instead gave me a way out. I swore at that time that I would only have the Empress as my master in the harem, and if Empress was willing to use me, then it would be because I have been fortunate for generations, so I naturally would do my best to serve Empress. "
"You don't have to be in a hurry to show your loyalty." Wang Rong He called out to her, "The loyalty you have on your face is the most worthless thing to say. Today, I'll tell you all of this because I consider you as one of my own."
"You're a smart person. I knew it from the beginning. A smart person is good, but they also know what they want. We'll weigh the pros and cons and work together smoothly." Wang Rong He said, "As long as you continue to be smart, I will always use you. Naturally, I will also be able to get what you want."
Fangruo nodded her head with hot tears in her eyes. Her face was filled with gratitude.
After exiting the Qixiang Palace, she turned seven corners and went to Chen Ju's resting place, "Why is Miss free to come today?" Chen Ju laughed and asked, "You are busier than me, you have to be free and not meet."
"Today, I went to see the Empress. The Empress finally believes in me." Fangruo sat down and said.
"It's not good for the Empress to believe you. Have you expressed your loyalty?" For example, if you tell the Empress about our relationship, then the Empress would feel more at ease using you? " Chen Ju tried to test the waters.
Fangruo rolled his eyes, "If you don't say it, my little life is also in the hands of the Empress.
"Besides, the empress did not accept anyone." Fangruo said, as she pursed her lips and laughed again, "Although I misjudged the situation at the beginning, fortunately I surrendered in time, so it was a pretty good result."
