”This old one pays respects to the Empress.” How could Wang Rong make her kneel? She hurriedly said, ”Xi Tao, Furong, hurry up and support the old lady and sit down.”
Wang Yunhe said, ”It's not a big wedding yet. Madam Hou can relax a little when she sees me. Just forgive me for not kowtowing to my grandmother. ”
”What nonsense is the Empress saying?” ”At that time, when the Empress came to the Residence, I was very amiable to her. As expected, there was a special fate.”
Wang Rong smiled, the Marquis Wu Qing's madame looked at her carefully, then sat on his throne, his every movement giving off an extraordinary demeanor, ”The few ladies in this old family nag every single day about wanting to get close to the Empress, and this old one said that the Empress is currently preparing for marriage, and has never finished learning the etiquette, so how could she have the mood to play?”
”I'm busy, but if my sisters want to come, there's still time to entertain them.” Wang Rong He said, ”We are all cousins of His Majesty, so of course they are my cousins as well.”
”Yes.” Marquis Wu Qing's wife nodded in satisfaction. ”Then in the future, the Empress will marry and be depressed. Let the ladies come over and talk to the Empress.”
”I was afraid that the Empress would be unable to order anyone around at home, so I specially brought two girls with me. They were both skilled at training since childhood, and it's fine if the Empress stays at home to command, and it's fine to bring them back to the palace.”
When the two girls finally stopped in front of her, they were about eleven or twelve years old, their bodies elongated like willow branches in the spring. They wore exactly the same pink dress, had exactly the same double bun, and their facial features were still young and pretty. When they kneeled down together, they greeted the two of them, saying 'good night' to their wives, and their voices were even more tender than Huang Li's.
Wang Rong understood a little more about what Marquis Wu Qing's wife meant.
”Esteemed Empress Dowager and I have discussed this matter, the Empress has agreed to it.” The Marquis Wu Qing Mistress said, afraid that Wang Rong might not want it. Although these two called his a little girl, he was actually the daughter of a branch member of the Li Clan. Empress Dowager Li definitely did not want her nephew daughter to enter the palace to serve the Emperor, as Madam Marquis Wu Qing had told her daughter. ”His Majesty's days always lie behind the Empress. After the Empress has left, who else would be left in the palace to look after the Li Clan?”
The Empress Dowager Li said that as long as the family follows orders, Zhu Yijun can guarantee the safety of his uncle's home. The Marquis Wu Qing's wife wiped away his tears, ”But Empress, in the future, His Majesty will have more and more women, and all of them will be able to blow the wind. His Majesty does not even have anyone to mention the Li family in front of him.
”I'll just send two female servants to empress. empress thinks that it's good to be able to mention the Li family a few more times in front of His Majesty.” The Marquis Wu Qing Mistress said.
”Empress Dowager Li had no choice but to agree. ”Mother, if you insist on doing so, then let's do it. However, if the person you send to me is able to gain the trust of the empress, I won't be able to control it.”
The Marquis Wu Qing Mistress lowered her head to express his gratitude, but he did not say anything. Even if you did not give it to someone, wouldn't the Queen have muttered that she did not have any Esteemed Empress Dowager's spies in her Kunning Palace? Since that was the case, he might send it over in broad daylight. Although the empress was on guard, there was always a way to guard against it.
”Madam Hou is thinking of me. How could I not be willing?” Wang Rong smiled without the slightest reluctance, ”This voice is so pleasant to listen to, I feel so comfortable listening to it. What are the names of the two of you?”
”Servant Hong Li.”
”This servant is Xing'er.”
”What a coincidence, I have a peach here. Now, plum and apricot are both here. I'll just go back and have Hibiscus and the others change their names. The water orchard now sounds very sweet and fragrant. ” Wang Rong said with a smile. She thought that since she was using Xi Tao, she liked common names, to the point where she had to give her good names.
After sending off the Marquis Wu Qing's wife, Hong Li and Xing'er timidly looked at Wang Rong and his orders. Madam Hou had made it very clear before they came. empress might not necessarily like them, so they had to endure until empress had to use them as pets.
”Both of you should live in the same room. As a newcomer, we should be more at ease living together since Hibiscus is a great palace maid, so we can ask her if there's anything you don't understand. She's very reliable.”
”Aunt Mei.” Wang Rong He said, ”These two girls will have to trouble you to help them teach them some manners. Wait until you nod your head, then you can have them walk around in front of you.”
”Yes.” Mei Dong lowered his head and said, ”Sane Wuyou and Wuyou can already come out and serve the Empress.”
”Then, let Hibiscus arrange the classes and serve you instead.” Wang Rong He said.
Wang Rong and Dan Qing were good at calligraphy and not Dan Qing, but her second brother was good at Dan Qing, but she could not summon second brother to stay in her courtyard for long. Luckily, Wuyou was able to sense her distress, and reminded her, ”Second Young Master is also good at Dan Qing.”
”Right.” Wang Rong He suddenly understood, ”I have a request for Second Sister-in-Law.”
Madame Sun came over to take a break. Wang Rong and the two girls who had asked her to draw a portrait of them were sent to the palace.
”Your Majesty, I have recently acquired two new palace maid s. Your Majesty, please give them to me.”
