As the day of the empress's wedding neared, the Lady Cui could not always be ill. She also had to leave the house and go through her own procedures during the wedding.
Lady Cui didn't want to come alone to see Wang Rong He, but she had no choice but to come over because of her daughter, ”Greetings to empress.”
Since she couldn't kneel down, Wang Rong decided to let the little girl support her. ”We're still at home, so don't stand on ceremony.” Wang Rong and the Lady Cui hated each other, yes, but she did not rely on the Lady Cui to kneel down to her to gain her peace of mind.
Since the rest of her family members weren't allowed to kneel down before her, Lady Cui didn't need to kneel either.
”Mother has been sick for a few days. How is she? Unfortunately, my identity is special right now and I couldn't reach the bed to treat you. I hope you don't take offense to it. ” Wang Rong said politely.
”Thank you for your concern, esteemed wangfei has already recovered greatly.” Lady Cui said that she did not appreciate Wang Rong's forgiveness. In her opinion, Wang Rong had been pretending since she was young, and now, she was saying things in a more and more beautiful manner.
”My lady's fate is good. In the future, she will be above everyone else, and will be incomparably noble. ”Xi'er, follow me. Her luck is a bit worse, but in the future, if I have an elder sister as an empress in the imperial harem, she would be able to live a peaceful life.” Lady Cui pressed the handkerchief against the corner of her eyes and said, ”The Empress has a good temperament since young and doesn't care. She even hopes that the Empress will remember the affection of our sisters in the palace in the future. This way, the Master and I can be at ease outside.”
”If she's honest and honest, I'll naturally protect her and ensure her safety. But she doesn't have the right mindset. When I say 'below', there are still two empress dowager's on top of 'His Majesty'. Furthermore, I am the Empress of the Middle Palace, and if I do not do things fairly, people will criticize me. ” Wang Rong said, ”I've already said this to Grandmother and Father. Father said that if Second Sister disobeys me, I can just teach her a lesson.”
Wang Rong He looked at Lady Cui with a stunned expression and said, it would be wrong to still want to use sisterly feelings to control me at this time. ”Since I was a child, I wasn't too close with my second sister. If you really make me discipline you, I'm afraid that I might lose my sense of propriety. Why not write a letter to my second sister and tell her properly, she always listens to her mother.”
”Xi'er has always been a well-behaved girl. She would never do something that would put the Empress in a difficult position.” Lady Cui laughed awkwardly.
”I thought so too, didn't everyone praise me so much? But does the mother know how her sister's beauty came about? ” Wang Rong said that she, her grandmother, and her father had all mentioned this matter before, that it wasn't that she was the empress, but that the family must support her. Since two women from the family had entered the palace, some things were unclear beforehand, but if there was a gap, her grandmother and brother must be in love with her.
”Zhixi was originally living in the front hall of the Chuxiu Palace, but because the empress dowager had asked her to perform, she had heard the false information and painted with Persian makeup that the emperor did not like. She was scolded on the spot by the emperor, and upon her return, she fell ill.
”The people in the front hall were afraid that they had gotten sick, so I brought her to live in the back hall. But what if she recovered? She accepted my title and appointed her to meet Your Majesty at Gonghou Garden. It was only when a man and woman were alone that Your Majesty confirmed her position. ”
”His Majesty thought that I was the one who intentionally sent her to serve me. When I just got home, didn't you look at my swollen knees and click your tongue in wonder, mocking Dad for sending me to the palace to humiliate me? ”
”Those swollen knees were given to me by Bai Zhixi. Tell me, how can I not be proud of it?” Wang Rong said with a wry smile.
”That's impossible.” Lady Cui shook her head and said.
”Do you think I would lie to you with such a long story?” Wang Yunhe said, ”When I told my grandmother about this, my grandmother was not surprised, although she felt sorry for me. She said that if there is a mother, there must be a daughter, so I don't understand. Has the mother done such an unscrupulous thing to the man, especially when the man is not interested in her? ”
”The Empress always needs a person to be pampered, so how could she have the confidence of her little sister? No matter how miserable Zhixi is, her beauty will always be outstanding. Empress, Empress, if you did not care for her in the harem, she would have had a life worse than death.”
Wang Rong He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, ”Tell me, if Your Majesty likes her face, why would you punish me later on when you were bestowed the title?” Shouldn't you introduce me to a good beauty? ”
”Mother lost her composure. Furong, escort Madam back to her room.” Wang Rong He said, ”Mother wanted me to bring a letter to the palace for Zhixi, so I wrote it earlier and sent it over.”
After the Lady Cui left, Wuyou brought a new cup of tea over, ”Maybe Madam wants the Empress to bring some money to the Beauty Wang, but the Empress is only willing to send a letter to her.”
”Even without money, she's still so honest. Since she has the money, she wanted to buy this and that, and even caused trouble for me.” Wang Rong He said.
”You guys take care of the things Jing Ru and Liu Jing's family sent over, this time you will follow me to the palace.”
”It's all settled down.” No disease.
”Leave you at home. At that time, you will enter the palace with your dowry along with Aunt Mei Dong. The key is with you, and the account book is with Aunty.” Wang Rong He said. ”You have a good memory. You don't even need to write down the things that you see. Only you and I can be at ease with this matter.”
”Being able to be of use to the young lady is the motivation why Wuyou has been working so hard.” Wuyou said.
”You and Wulv have really decided to follow me into the palace?” Wang Ronghe said, ”The harem is a place to eat people, not an exaggeration. ”It's still too late to regret it now. My wet nurse won't come to the palace, so I let her find a good family for all of you to marry into.”
”This servant and Wulv have been serving this lady since they were six, if they don't think of going to other places, it would be better to serve this lady instead. This servant and Wulv are only worried that they did not do well enough and could not help Miss out, and even caused trouble for Miss. ” Wuyou said.
”You've done well.” Wang Rong He said, ”Since you want to follow me, I must ensure that you will be able to have a good ending.”
