Time felt like a long time when it was written on paper, but when it really did go by, it was also very fast. In the blink of an eye, it was the end of July. In just a few days, Wang Rong and her husband would leave home to go to the palace, and then on the day of their wedding.
The wedding ceremony coincided with the fifteenth day of the eighth month's Mid-Autumn Festival. The emperor had his wedding during the day and even held a banquet at night to invite his officials.
Wang Rong had lost a lot of weight in the past four months, and her features had become sharper as well. She was no longer as amiable and childish as she used to be, and when the old lady saw her like this, she regretted telling her about what had happened that year.
”Grandmother, don't worry. I've already called her mother for more than ten years. As long as she abides by her responsibilities, I won't make things difficult for her.” Wang Rong said, ”Even if Wang Zhixi did not offend me, I would not harm her.”
”I just wanted to tell the Empress not to be controlled by her sisterhood, but I forgot how disturbed the Empress will be when she finds out.” Sometimes I feel sorry for her, but when I think of your mother, I always treat her even more harshly. In these years, she has gradually become mean and easily angered, but there was one thing she wasn't wrong about, as this family never treated her as a family. ”
”Grandmother, about Mother, just tell me, don't tell your brothers. I won't be able to meet her in the future, as my brothers do all day long. If they don't respect their mother, it will be a loss of face for father. ” Wang Rong He said. It's her choice whether it's good or bad. ”
”I saved it.” Grandmother said.
”Grandmother, once I enter the palace, I won't be able to come out again. Grandmother, I can summon you to the palace to see more, but not my two little sisters. Grandmother has asked them to come to our house in the name of Fu Chang. We are sisters after all. ”
”Then tomorrow.” the old lady said.
”Grandmother will arrange it.” Wang Rong He said.
Ning Xuemo didn't know that Wei Lingzhi and Tang Tang Tang'er had received an invitation from Duke Yongnian's house at this time. Naturally, they knew that it was Wang Ronghe who wanted to see them, so they put on their best clothes and brought over the gifts they had prepared for Wang Rongzi after hearing the news.
The first thing she did was to meet the old lady, then the host of the invitation, Wang Fuchang, came out to receive a few sentences. Currently, Wang Fuchang was being restrained by her personality, teaching her etiquette, and looking at how it used to be, she didn't know that the other party had sincerely praised her a few times. The more she studied, the more she understood her previous inadequacies, and the more she clearly realized that her mother was trying to teach him a lesson.
Just as they were talking, Wuyou walked over and said, ”The Empress heard that a lovely guest has arrived, and would like to invite her to come take a seat.”
Ning Xuemo hurriedly stood up. ”It's my honor to be summoned by the Empress.”
Wuyou led the three of them to Wang Rong's courtyard, but along the way, they had to pass by the guards, the inner guards, palace maid and four other defensive lines before they could enter the house. They lowered their heads and entered, but before they could even look up, they had to bow. Wuyou and Wulv, however, were already prepared. They had already stopped the three of them long ago, not allowing them to kneel down.
”When you see me in the future, you'll have to kneel down.” Wang Rong He said, ”This room is filled with close people, there is no need to be restrained.”
The three raised their heads, unaware that they had seen Wang Rongzhi. They couldn't help but cry out in alarm, ”How can the Empress be so thin?”
”When I went to the palace this time, I was faced with all sorts of young and beautiful foxes and spirits. Although they were originally not good looking, they were definitely thinner than fat.” Wang Rong He said, ”Come, let me sit next to you. In the future, if you want to meet up again like this, you won't have much time.”
”It's a good thing he looks alright.” Wei Lingzhi took a close look at Wang Ronghe's facial features, ”The way to change your hairstyle is more like a different person.”
”We have to congratulate the Empress.” Wei Lingzhi said, ”At the very least, isn't the Empress going to be a fox spirit fighting with a group of fox spirits?”
”I also don't want to fight over steamed buns. After the wedding, there will still be peace and harmony.” ”There is no need for a warrior queen in the palace.”
”This place is right inside elder sister's residence. It is so heavily guarded, and I didn't even dare to breathe loudly all the way in. However, I was so stifled.” Tang'er said.
”If I don't dare to breathe too loudly like this, what will I do when I see you in the palace?” Wang Rong He said, ”I don't care. In the future, you all must urge your husband to properly advance, and give you all the title you want. You can also come to the palace and see me during New Year's Eve.”
”I wonder if I can still come if I change my husband?” Ning Xuemo giggled.
”I'm afraid I can't. My stomach is already full. If it were my husband, then I wouldn't have ended up in a miserable state. I definitely wouldn't have agreed to that.” Tang'er said.
”I heard that after elder sister made her appearance, I wanted to have father and mother come to the Empress' home to talk about marriage. Didn't I say that the Empress's Third Brother still hadn't been married yet? I came to marry into the Empress' house, so how many times can I see my elder sister in the future? In the blink of an eye, the Empress' house has betrothed Third Brother to me. ”
”You little rascal, you still want to be my sister-in-law?” Wang Rong said with a smile.
”I originally thought that among all of us, perhaps only you would be able to get what you want. You value loyalty the most, and people are smart, but then there will be trouble. It wouldn't be difficult to coax your husband and his wife for life. I never thought that in the end, you would end up marrying someone who is the most unlikely person in this world to have a couple for a lifetime. ” Wei Lingzhi sighed.
”So, all of you have to work hard for happiness. Husband's concubine, if you don't want to, then don't agree. Be more confident. In the future, the empress will be your backer.” Wang Rong said with a smile.
