I've made a few hairpins. You can take them to Andersen later and let him play with them.” Wang Rong went back to her room to take a nap. When the wedding peach brought her tea, she handed over a small sandalwood box and quietly ordered her to go to bed …
Xi Tao withdrew her body and walked out.
He did not dare to go to the imperial palace to look for Zhang Cheng. He only stayed in Zhang Cheng's room and spent a bit of silver to have the little eunuch of the Qianqing Palace go find Zhang Cheng for him. Zhang Cheng then returned. What's the rush? Didn't I tell you to come see me tonight? ”
”This is great news.” ”The lady asked me to send this to His Majesty.”
”What is this?” Zhang Cheng took over the box and saw that there were four book hairpins in it. Not daring to pick it up, Zhang Cheng gently flipped it to make sure that there was nothing else inside. This was made by the girl herself? ”
”That's right.” ”This is the first time that this young lady has taken the initiative to offer her goodwill to Your Majesty. Perhaps this young lady has been enlightened.”
”It's good that you're enlightened. Everyone in the world wants to please His Majesty. What is she trying to do? His Majesty is still in high spirits now, and she can do as she pleases. But when his Majesty's heart changes one day, it will be too late for tears. ” Zhang Cheng said. ”He placed the sandalwood box against his body.” Come on, we'll take note of this. ”After the title of the young lady has been conferred on you, you will have your reward.”
”I wonder if this little one will have the chance to continue serving this lady in the future.” An Dexun obsequiously held Zhang Cheng's shoulders.
”You wish to continue serving the lady?” Zhang Cheng said. ”Then go and try to please the girl, it's useless to massage your shoulders or back with me.”
”Miss is truly a rare person that is easy to serve. I don't even have a chance to show off.” Ande said with a bitter face.
”Be at ease and don't make any mistakes. This lady only knows you well in Chuxiu Palace. As long as Miss asks you to serve her, this matter will be settled.” Zhang Cheng said, ”If you don't know how to please this lady, then please please flatter that palace maid beside you, what is the name of the one who often serves you?”
”Xi Tao, her name is Xi Tao.” Ande, by the way.
”Yes.” Go and fawn on Xi Tao, she can speak up for you when the time comes. ” Zhang Cheng said, ”Alright, stop wasting my time, I have to go serve His Majesty now.”
Zhang Cheng presented the sandalwood box to the Emperor. As Zhu Yijun was practicing his calligraphy, he took a glance at it and asked, ”Where did this ugly box come from?”
”Your Majesty, this box isn't important. The things inside are the important things.” Zhang Cheng said.
”Since when did you learn to keep me in suspense?” Zhu Yijun laughed, and opened the box to look, inside was the hairpin, it looked like he had cut himself, and all the corners had been dealt with well, on top was an empty pavilion, and below, there were a few words written on the square, ”Book mountain has roads as the route.”
”The sea of learning is boundless and bitter.”
”If you don't think before you learn, you will be confused.”
”It's good to think and not learn.”
There was nothing special about the hairpin, it was only better than the delicate handwriting. Zhu Yijun naturally recognized Wang Yunzhi's words, ”Did she do it?”
”Yes, Miss Wang remembered the 'Erhu' that His Majesty gave her and specially made a book hairpin to send over.” Zhang Cheng said.
”She has such thoughts?” Wang Rong He said, ”Every time I see you, it's you again. Hurry up and leave, I don't want to have anything to do with you. Does she have such a little girl's heart?”
”The Miss Wang is currently in the palace. In the future, we will have to rely on the Emperor to survive.” Zhang Cheng said.
”I don't like her being this smart.” Although Zhu Yijun said that, he still kept the hairpin. After all, Wang Rong's words still made people feel refreshed.
Imperial Lower Consort Guo leaned lazily on the brick bed, ”Who did the king summon today?”
”Today, His Majesty does not have a green card, he's alone in the Qianqing Palace.” The Great palace maid of the Imperial Lower Consort Guo, Lura, said, ”Empress need not worry, after the Imperial Consort Candidate entered the palace, His Majesty rarely visited the imperial harem, so she was summoned to the harem.”
”Sigh, the newbie has already entered the palace. I don't know how much pity I'll get for this old Yan.” The Imperial Lower Consort Guo said.
”Empress, His Majesty is thinking of old friendships, and this servant is staring coldly. This time, in the Imperial Consort Candidate, there are few who can surpass the Empress.” ”No,” Lura said.
”Not many, then there's more.” Imperial Lower Consort Guo said, ”Women should act as if they enjoy themselves, and naturally be the number one person in the heart of the person enjoying themselves.”
”Empress, that Zhou Yuting is not enough to cause trouble. As long as we reveal a little bit of her actions in Chuxiu Palace to the empress dowager, there will be no turning back.” ”That Wang Zhixi, on the other hand, has taken care of her business and missed the opportunity to make a move.”
”Imperial Consort Candidate should have a lot of time to go to the Peace Palace now, right?” Imperial Lower Consort Guo suddenly asked.
”Yes, every other day.” ”No,” Lura said.
The corner of Imperial Lower Consort Guo's mouth curled up, ”Then palace maid of Chuxiu Palace must properly tell Imperial Consort Candidate of Esteemed Empress Dowager's preferences, and must definitely help Imperial Consort Candidate get the empress dowager's favor.”
