Zhu Yijun consecutively went to the Nurturing room for two days, but Wang Rong and she really did not come. Zhang Cheng looked at the emperor's expression and secretly called for the people from Faculty Division to play in the garden, to prevent his Majesty from feeling awkward.
Zhu Yijun was at the Gonghou Garden, and thus, the palace maid's concubines came here as if they were bees smelling honey. On the third day, Wang Rong pulled a tune from the Embroidery Mountain. Zhu Yijun did not go to the Gonghou Garden, but asked the little eunuch to go to the Gonghou Garden.
”He also became a b * stard today?” Zhu Yijun asked.
”Yes.” The eunuch knelt and replied, ”This little one doesn't understand what you are pulling, but it was quite nice to pull. I only pulled a tune for about an incense's time and the lady returned to the Chuxiu Palace.”
”Are there a lot of people on Gonghou Garden today?” Zhu Yijun asked.
”Many.” ”Before Miss, there is Beauty Xiao playing the flute at Cheng Rui Pavilion. Behind Miss, there are two Imperial Consort Candidate playing the zither at Wan Chun Pavilion.”
”This Emperor understands, you may leave.” Zhu Yijun said.
Wang Rong pulled Er Hu back, causing Liu Jing to be puzzled, ”Big sister, these few days it was rumored that His Majesty was listening to music in his Gonghou Garden. Many people went to the Gonghou Garden to join in on the fun, hoping to meet His Majesty by chance. Why are you going to the Gonghou Garden to play at this time?
”There's no misunderstanding. I went to the Gonghou Garden for your majesty to hear.” Wang Rong He said.
”Big sister, please don't joke. Big sister is not like that.” Liu Jing said.
”Am I not going to ask His Majesty's favor?” Wang Rong said deliberately.
”No, even if Big Sister were to be spoiled, she would probably go back when she was certain that Your Majesty was at Gonghou Garden. After hearing the news today, your majesty still hasn't come to the Gonghou Garden yet. ” Liu Jing said. Elder sister is not the kind of person who would try hard enough to please others. ”
”You're the smart one.” Wang Rong said while nodding her head.
The Empress Dowager Chen asked the Imperial Consort Candidate to embroider a straw bag for each person, in order to test the female workers of the Imperial Consort Candidate. Wang Rong and the female workers of the Imperial Consort Candidate took great pains to sew up a basket of items. Wang Zhixi's embroidery work was exceptional, while Yang Jingru's embroidery work was also very good.
”I'll make one for my sister.” Yang Jingru said, ”Anyway, in the future, I will not have much time to do embroidery myself.”
”It's not like the empress dowager gave us any problems, it's just a purse. She said that the Esteemed Empress Dowager's female examiners were more like the Esteemed Empress Dowager visiting people's hearts.” Wang Rong She said, ”Even if it's good or bad, it can only be done by oneself, it can't be faked with manpower.”
A few people embroidered mandarin ducks, Wang Rong, and like the crane, so he embroidered a white crane pattern on the cloth. Because it was just like embroidery, it took a lot of effort to cut and shape it into the shape of a cloud. Double beads hung on both sides, tassels dyed green with dye.
The red-crowned crane flew on top of the cloud, and below the cloud, there was water.
It's not unusual, but Wang said, touching the needle on the tip of his finger, it's full of sincerity after all.
The palace maid in front of him raised her hand and carried a embroidered plate over her shoulder. On top of the plate were various types of winnings, and after Empress Dowager Chen praised the female workers of the Imperial Consort Candidate, he smiled at Zhu Yijun and said, ”Your Majesty, choose a favorite one to hang up on.”
Zhu Yijun rummaged through again and chose the Golden Dragon Pouch that Yang Jingru had embroidered and the Immortal Crane Pouch that Wang Rong had made.
”How did the emperor choose these two?” Empress Dowager Chen asked. She naturally knew who made these winebags, ”They are all identical dragon designs. What is the reason for Your Majesty to choose this?”
”This dragon looks more spirited.” Zhu Yijun said, ”Why, you can't choose this.”
”Of course.” Empress Dowager Chen said. Your Majesty, how many more should I choose? ”
”Aren't these all for me?” Zhu Yijun asked.
”Haha, of course they are all for your majesty.” The Empress Dowager Chen covered her mouth and laughed, ”It's just that there are a few diagrams that you can see from a glance that they honor us two elders. Your Majesty, you have yet to use this immortal crane to extend your years of age. ”
”Just take her out as a sign of filial piety.” Zhu Yijun said. He was holding the crane but he didn't let go, as if what he was holding wasn't the crane.
When he returned to the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yijun got someone to tie the Immortal Crane Lotus Bag around his neck.
”Could it be that the girl did this?” Zhang Cheng asked. Your Majesty, you're amazing. You can tell which one of those pouches was made by a girl with just one glance. ”
”You'll know when you see the stitches.” Zhu Yijun said, ”The stitches and kicks are all over the place, it is easy to tell that female workers are not good, and they tend to think of ways to avoid trouble. If it wasn't her, who else could it be?”
”I feel like this embroidery is pretty good too.” Zhang Cheng said.
”That means I don't hate her anymore.” Zhu Yijun said as he flicked his bag.
Zhang Cheng looked at him, ”Then, will Your Majesty still be going to the cultivation room tomorrow?” Tomorrow was the day where Zhu Yijun would let Wang Rong play with him again at the Gonghou Garden.
”Not going.” Zhu Yijun said, ”She made us go there for nothing, she also wanted us to go there for nothing, so we have no face.”
Therefore, it didn't matter whether he was there or not. She stood at the peak and played the zither for him, for him to listen, a person must have a time when they were alone.
Empress Dowager Li went to the Qin'an Hall to listen to a Buddhist scripture, and when she came out she heard a melodious voice, ”Is this that Imperial Consort Candidate called Wang Rong She playing the zither?” With Erhu's unique musical instrument, there was probably no one else apart from her.
”Yes.” ”Let's go to the embroidery pavilion to play the zither every now and then.”
