”You're asking me, but I'm also confused, unable to make heads or tails of what's going on.” Wang Rong gave a wry smile and said, ”It is always a disaster that descends from the heavens. I went to collect my punishment. ”
”Elder sister.” Yang Jingru was very worried.
Xi Tao's face was also filled with worry, but she quickly reacted and wrapped up all the snacks on the table with a lotus, hanging them on Wang Rong's belt and said, ”Miss, you must definitely cherish yourself.” She couldn't be like last time, neither eating nor sleeping. Even someone who had been beaten down by iron wouldn't be able to hold it in.
”This servant will accompany the lady outside the hall.”
Wang Rong and she calmly walked into the Jiaotai Palace amidst whispers. Xi Tao tried her best to find two soft cushions to place on top of, that were kneeling and copying books, and the noble and filial queen's internal training was extremely long.
Xi Tao thought until her eyes moistened.
”Don't worry about me. I don't know anything, but it's fast and good to copy books. ” Wang Rong He tried to persuade her, ”Maybe I'll be out tomorrow.”
This was the second time that she had been punished in such a short period of time. Wang Rong could only sigh in her heart, as if this had nothing to do with copying books. But this time, why did His Majesty punish her?
The other party had spoken half-heartedly, but he didn't say anything. From the looks of it, he wasn't as angry as the other party, but he didn't want others to know why he was so angry at him. He was lucky that Wang Zhixi gave her the title of a beauty.
Could it be that she was the one who pushed him to go to Wang Zhixi?
Wang Rong shook her head and forced herself to calm down. ”He's lucky that it's alright if he gives it to you.”
Zhu Yijun returned to the Qianqing Palace, returned to his own bedchamber, and in a fit of rage, threw all the tea cups, vases, and all the things he could see onto the ground. Inside and out of the bedchamber, a floor was filled with people kneeling on it. Please calm your anger, your Imperial Majesty. ”
”Calm down, why are you so angry?”
”I would rather she used a triangular bell to deceive me. This is a tacit understanding between me and her. ”She has been disrespectful and arrogant in front of me. Otherwise, I would have died who knows how many times if I had the heart to let her off.”
”What did she do with her sister? I lack a woman so much that I need her to recommend me. I don't know what it means. ”You don't know what it means.” Zhu Yijun was so excited that he knocked over the table.
”Like other women, she is not special. Her face is filled with hypocrisy and her stomach is filled with love and affection only for the sake of her own glory and wealth. This Emperor has truly misjudged her. ”
The rest of them did not know who Zhu Yijun was talking about. Zhang Cheng knew, but was he able to speak at a time like this?
”Your Majesty, someone from the Palace of Tzu Ning's Sou Kang Palace has come to invite Your Majesty over.” The eunuch trembled as he reported.
”I'm not going. I'm tired. I'm looking at the imperial reports. It hasn't rained since March. It looks like it's going to get dry soon.” Just as Zhu Yijun was speaking, there was a sudden clap of thunder outside, a bolt of lightning, and the rain that had been stifling for an entire day finally began to fall.
”Just say that the rain is too heavy. Tomorrow, Zhen will pay respects to the two empress dowager again.” Zhu Yijun said after a while.
He felt as if his heart had been chilled by the heavy rain, and his heart felt as if it was soaked in water.
”All of you can leave. Let us quietly wait for a while.” Zhu Yijun said.
Wang Zhixi did not sleep, the Imperial Consort Candidate of the Chuxiu Palace did not sleep, and even the people in the Shoukang Palace of the Qianqing Palace did not sleep at all.
The next day had passed with clear skies and sweet sweetness filled the air. Zhang Juzheng said in the morning, ”This subject has heard that Your Majesty was lucky to be in Imperial Consort Candidate yesterday.
”Today, Zhen will go and discuss with the empress dowager. When they come up with the list, we can follow the etiquette department's procedures.” He did not sleep well last night, so Zhu Yijun's complexion was not good.
”This subject has heard that Your Majesty was furious with his Qianqing Palace yesterday. May Your Majesty tell this subject what caused Your Majesty to be so angry?” Zhang Juzheng asked again.
”It's just a small matter. The people below did not serve you well.” Zhu Yijun said evasively.
”Your Majesty, this servant will not be easy to change. The fact that Your Majesty got angry over such a small matter is a complete reversal.” Exhaust, nourish the body, the people provide for the emperor spirit. As the leader of the people, His Majesty cannot show any of his actions, nor can he show any of his smiles. Zhang Juzheng advised.
”I will remember what Mr. Zhang said.” When Zhu Yijun said this, his face was already unsightly, and no one could tell that he had an even uglier expression than before.
It had always been like this, as long as there was one thing that did not conform to the emperor's rules, Zhang Juzheng would come and give him advice. We are the emperor, a ruler of a country. Where in the world, I am the most respected.
When Zhang Juzheng left, Zhu Yijun rubbed his forehead and said, ”Feng Shang, go to the Peace Palace's Shoukang Palace and ask the two empress dowager to decide the number of people to bestow the Imperial Consort Candidate's title. Tell them that we will not go if we speak to Zhang Shuo and him.”
When Empress Dowager Li heard Feng Shang say this, he wanted to go to Qianqing Palace to see his Majesty. Empress Dowager Chen pulled her back, ”Don't be so impulsive, there's definitely a reason why His Majesty doesn't want to come here.
The Empress Dowager Li sat down. ”It's not a good thing for His Majesty to behave so wildly now.”
”Your majesty looks like she's about to get married. In the end, she's not the little emperor who needs you to live in the Qianqing Palace, who needs you to stay with her all the time. Since you've already moved out of the Qianqing Palace, you might as well let go.” The Empress Dowager Chen said.
The Empress Dowager Li asked the Feng Shang, ”Was Your Majesty really lucky to meet that Imperial Consort Candidate called Wang Zhixi yesterday?”
”This servant doesn't know, it was Zhang Cheng who followed His Majesty to Gonghou Garden yesterday. He did not call for Dragon Carriage, so this servant did not know where His Majesty had gone to in the beginning.” The Feng Shang said.
”Alright, you may leave.” Empress Dowager Chen said. That Wang Zhixi isn't really surprising, His Majesty has already made her a beauty and she's just a beauty. ”
