C55 (2/2)
Lady Cui's tears flowed freely. She was only saying those words, how could she be willing to die? She also wanted to enter the palace as the queen's mother to see Xi-er. Xiu-er was so beautiful and smart, so she definitely wouldn't be limited to this.
After the wet nurse came to tell Wang Rong and what had happened in the house, Wang Rong sighed. ”We'll do everything according to Grandmother's wishes.”
”This time, the old lady seems to have made up her mind. Madame and Third Miss are both imprisoned.” said the nurse.
”I believe Grandmother will know her limits. Nanny, in the future, as long as the affairs of the people in the family are not out of line or out of order, I can't interfere in the family's decisions. It's like when a lady can give some advice, but now, it's best for me to not say anything. ”If you think that I am the Empress and that everything in the family must be done in accordance to my preferences, I'm afraid that in the end, I will also be an isolated and helpless person.”
”Besides, everything Grandmother did was for me, so how could I tell Grandmother not to do it? Third Miss will definitely marry into the house of the marquis in the future. This is why Grandmother has to change her personality. To me, there will be one less hidden danger in the future. As for mother, she is also a grandmother, so she should know what to do. ” Wang Rong He said.
”I'm not saying that the old lady didn't handle it well, but I'm just worried that if this sort of thing were to spread, it would affect the Empress's reputation.” said the nurse.
”Even though reputation is important, if you place too much importance on reputation, you will be held hostage by it. In the future, you will be afraid of everything.” Wang Rong He said.
”Reputation can be created.” Wang Ronghe said, ”Rather than others to determine my reputation, it would be better for me to mold it myself.”
”Call Ruoyun to see me tomorrow.” Wang Rong He said that aside from her distant friends, she also wanted to share the rest of the goods with her brothers. However, she still kept the land for herself. Every year, there would be some rents that could be sold as emergencies. She could not say that she did not need to prepare at all when she went to the palace. She still needed money.
He had the money in his hands, but he didn't panic.
Summoning Ruoyun here was to see how much money she could take out right now. Afterwards, she would go to Tzu Chi Temple and donate a year's worth of money to it.
But soon, he no longer needed Wang Rong's and his money, and the next day the Emperor gifted him three hundred gold, which he would use to prepare the empress for marriage.
Wang Wei accepted the money, he was not happy at all, but he felt like he was being looked down on. Even though he was not talented, he still had the money his daughter prepared for him to marry. When Wang Wei went to meet with Wang Rong, he told his, ”Right now, our family is still very busy, so you should take it and use it as the deposit box.”
”The palace comes and goes, and the family has to spend all their time and effort to entertain him. This was given to father by the Emperor. Father can just accept it. Daughters naturally have their own money.” Wang Rong He said, ”His Majesty's gift of gold is a great gift, daughter never thought that one day she would become an official palace, and it is also his Majesty's gift. Your daughter has always been nervous, why not father take some silver to the Tzu Chi Temple for a fast meal, as a gift to your daughter.”
”Whatever you want, I've neglected this point.” Wang Wei said.
”Father must remember to mention that this is a gift from His Majesty.” Wang Rong He said.
”I saved it.” Wang Wei said. No matter what, he still wanted to give his daughter a box full of money. It wouldn't be good to directly give his daughter the emperor's reward. After this period, he would take out the money and give it to his daughter.
Ruoyun was called over to see the Queen. Aunt Mei Dong frowned as she saw how this commoner girl was not wearing makeup, but the Empress had difficulty letting her go, these things that would cause the Empress to be unhappy needed to be done, even if she was sent to serve the Palace Manager. If the Empress was not satisfied, she could change anyone after entering the palace.
If Palace Manager Cui hadn't wanted to manage the wedding ceremony in the palace, she would have come and personally serve the Empress long ago. She was born based on her qualifications, and if she were to be switched out by the Empress, she would be reduced to a miserable state in a sect like the Palace Manager.
He told the Empress that rules and regulations did not exist. If the Empress wanted to know, she could say whatever she wanted. The Empress didn't ask, or perhaps she didn't care, but she closed her eyes and didn't see anything.
”Ruoyun pays her respects to the Empress.” ”Ruoyun truly doesn't know how to celebrate with the Empress, so she just kowtows three times to the Empress, praying that the Empress will be fine, that Wuyou will live a smooth life.”
”Get up.” Wang Rong asked Xi Tao to help her up, ”Regardless of the change in our identities, the relationship between us as cousins will not change at all. When I enter the palace in the future, you will have more days to rely on.”
”Do things for the Empress. I won't give up even if I die. ” When the news of Wang Rong and the Queen came out, she and her brother had discussed it before. They were afraid that if Wang Rong and the Queen were to become part of the family, the shop would not go on, and in order to not cause trouble for the Empress, the two of them should return to their homeland together.
If the Empress still wanted to use her, wasn't that the greatest news? He was used to managing businesses in the capital, so returning home was easier said than done.
