”I'll send it back.” Zhang Cheng laughed, ”Your majesty will definitely be very happy.”
Zhang Cheng had left. Seeing that, the palace maid of the Palace would naturally not mention anything about letting Wang Rong and the Palace move, and instead said that she wanted the Miss Wang to be healthy again. The Esteemed Empress Dowager had always been worried, and would come to the Palace to pay respects when she was better.
Wang Rong and naturally agreed.
When all the palace maid s of the Ci Ning Palace had left, Wang Rong got on the brick bed. She didn't wait for Zhou Yuting and the others to leave and went to sleep.
”Big sister didn't say anything, so she had already planned this long ago.” Zhou Yuting said. His Majesty even specially gave you jewelry, different from the ones he gave us. I wonder if sister can lend me a look, I have never seen such exquisite jewelry? ”
”If you want to see it, then see.” Wang Rong He said, ”It is only a gift, don't use too much strength. If you are injured, both of us will have to go through a lot of trouble.”
”Elder sister, your scriptures have been highly valued by His Majesty, and you even said that you would be sent to the Grand Temple as a sacrifice. Why was it that last time, when the Ci Ning Palace was asking for a scripture, they did not call their elder sister over? ” Wang Zhixi asked.
”There is naturally a reason behind Esteemed Empress Dowager's decision.” Wang Rong He said, ”Just like what His Majesty did, I don't know why?”
”What book is sister talking about?” Wang Zhixi probed. Elder sister has not recovered from her illness and is in low spirits. As for copying books, you can also call me over to help. ”
”Elder sister is tired, come back tomorrow.” Yang Jingru saw that Wang Rong She had already closed her eyes, and did not want to say anymore. They have also entered the front and back halls. For the first three days, no one came to see the ladies, so they could come a few more times and make up for it. This would also be good to say that they were very close to each other. ”
”What a good dog leg.” Zhou Yuting said, then snorted and left.
In the evening, there were Imperial Consort Candidate s who came over to show their appreciation during the day and learned all about the relationship between Empress Dowager Chen and Wang Zhixi. After Wang Rong and Wen Yan thanked him, the Imperial Consort Candidate finally relaxed and left. Even if the empress dowager liked it, she couldn't be more fond of it.
His Majesty had specially chosen the accessories for her, but in his heart, he had treated her differently from others.
Imperial Consort Candidate felt slightly sour in her heart, but she was very clear on her own talent and could not lose face in front of the emperor. She could only rely on the people the emperor doted on, in order to make life easier in the future.
”Zhou Yuting, you sure have a poisonous thought.” Liu Jing said, ”Big Sis was clearly injured and couldn't sleep for even a day before falling ill. Yet, she is only using Big Sis's thoughts to speak up, does she want to say that Big Sis is is resentful towards Your Majesty's punishment?”
”Forget about Zhou Yuting, why is big sister's sister not willing to speak up for big sister?” Yang Jingru said.
Wang Rong didn't seem to mind, ”I'm just looking at how I'm doing better than sleeping with Wang Zhixi, I know that this sister of mine is only so-so.”
”It's really lucky today. If His Majesty hadn't bestowed us with gifts, the empress dowager would have had her elder sister move out of the palace.” Liu Jing said fearfully. Elder sister, I won't dare to be reckless in the future. ”
”Mm, not being reckless is a good thing. There's another lesson in this, which is that when you and I are alone, we can't relax completely. Who knows what unforeseen event will happen? ” Wang Rong He said. However, you shouldn't blame yourself too much on this matter. Your Majesty even gave me a golden hairpin, so you can see that I have benefited from this misfortune. ”
”This golden hairpin is truly exquisite.” Liu Jing said. It's just right for big sister. ”
”I'm afraid I've really taken root in the empress dowager's eyes now.” Wang Rong He said.
Empress Dowager Chen was also shocked when she heard palace maid's reply. Her Majesty gave us jewelry as well? ”
”Yes, and it's jewelry that is a little excessive for Imperial Consort Candidate.” ”The palace maid said,” A pair of golden bird-shaped fairy-like hairpins, and that blue bird-like hairpin is a golden phoenix hairpin. The jewellery that he had bestowed to Imperial Consort Candidate previously were all pearl velvet hairpins.
”Then it seems that His Majesty is rather fond of this Miss Wang.” The Empress Dowager Chen said.
”Zhang Cheng said that His Majesty wanted to send the scriptures that the Miss Wang had copied when she was self-studying to the Grand Temple for worship.” The palace maid said.
”Really?” Empress Dowager Chen was puzzled. Go and take a look at the scriptures that the had bestowed upon me previously. ”
”Yes.” The palace maid replied, and then said, ”Seeing that you are fine now, I did not mention anything about moving your palace.”
”Since she has already settled down, she naturally won't need to move her palace.” The Empress Dowager Chen said.
Empress Dowager Li went to see his majesty, ”Your majesty, I heard that you gifted the Wang Rong and a pair of golden hairpins today?”
Zhu Yijun stood in front of Empress Dowager Li and replied, ”I didn't even give her the jewelry that I gave to Imperial Consort Candidate previously, I'll give it to her when I think of it.”
”There was something amiss with your Majesty going to the Chuxiu Palace, as the Imperial Consort Candidate did not prepare for the disgrace, so your Majesty's punishments should have been reasonable.” The Empress Dowager Li said, ”His Majesty is the example of all the people in the world, and his every move must be in accordance with the rules of etiquette. Your Majesty, please do not act rashly. ”
”I understand.” Zhu Yijun said.
”Your Majesty can't just keep this in mind. You must remember not to offend him again.” The Empress Dowager Li frowned as she said, ”Even if you were to bestow upon Wang Rong and this matter is not appropriate, if you do not suffer from injustice, the emperor and the imperial harem must be close, both should be exposed to the rain and dew.”
