C75 (2/2)
If he slept well, he would be in good spirits. Even if he woke up at five in the morning, Wang Rong and the others wouldn't feel impatient. After doing morning yoga in bed for a while, his muscles and bones were all stretched out. After changing clothes and combing his hair, he started with porridge and snacks. He waited until Mei Dong came to report that his imperial concubines had arrived before he put on his makeup and left for the Western Warm Pavilion.
”Please take care of your daily routine in the Warm Western Pavilion. At least you have a few stools, so you can talk while sitting.” empress arrived. ”
Even if one's own sleeping quarters were to be passed on from the East Warm Pavilion to the West Warm Pavilion, Wang Rong felt that it was rather comical. Once she sat down on the throne in the hall, her imperial concubines would kneel down to greet her. Greetings, empress. ”
”No need to stand up.” Wang Rong He said. ”Do it.”
”Today's weather is pretty good.” Wang Rong and her usual opening questions.
”After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it will be a cold autumn rain.” The Imperial Lower Consort Liu said, ”However, it hasn't been raining recently, so the weather will get cooler sooner or later.”
”That's right, changing the season is easy for Feng Xie to invade, so I will have to buy clothes sooner or later, don't get cold.” Wang Rong He said.
Because Wang Yunhe still had to pay respects to the empress dowager, even if the imperial concubines wanted to speak with her more, they wouldn't be able to. The imperial concubines lined up outside the Kunning Palace and respectfully escorted the empress's chariot to the Tzu Ning Palace before dispersing.
Wang Rong and the empress were still not concerned with anything at the moment. She did not ask, and if the Empress Mother did not say that she would be given the power of the palace, she also said that she would. However, Empress Dowager Chen's words still sounded like a test. ”Queen, this harem should be under the control of the Queen. This old bones can also rest for a bit.”
”Imperial Mother, your son has just entered the palace to study. If Imperial Mother didn't care about me, your son would have definitely made a mistake.” Wang Rong said with a smile.
”Being in charge of the harem isn't something that anyone is born to be able to do. Of course, if you don't manage it well, there will be a lot of troublesome things to deal with.” The Empress Dowager Chen laughed and said, ”In the past, the harem was controlled by me and your mother. This one does want to hand over the power to you, but I don't know what kind of constitution your mother has, I just want to hand it over to you together. ”
”This son will listen to Mother and mother's decisions.” Wang Rong He said.
”To say that the power of the palace belongs to you is the right thing to do. If you felt that it would be a bit difficult in the beginning, it would be much easier for me to help from the side.” The Empress Dowager Chen said.
The Empress Dowager Chen's meaning was for Wang Rong He to ask the Empress Dowager Li when he would hand over the power of the palace to her. Like this, regardless of whether the Empress Dowager Li handed over the authority to the palace or not, they would still feel displeased with Wang Rong and the others. Once Wang Rong and the Empress Dowager Li became suspicious of each other, who would be the one to discuss the problems that Wang Rong and the one in charge of the palace?
The Empress Dowager Chen thought well, but Wang Rong and An Ran didn't mention the word 'royal power' and just accompanied them back to the palace.
It was only natural and right for the empress to be in charge of the palace, so sooner or later Wang Rong would be in her hands.
After returning to Kunning Palace, Wang Rong took off her hat. Originally, she did not like wearing a hat, but after experiencing the convenience of a hat, she became casual again. Under the hat, the hair was tied up in a simple bun. In the hall, one did not need to wear a hat, one just used a few hairpins to decorate the hair.
”Empress, Palace Manager Cui is here.” Xi Tao came over to report.
”Mm, let her in.” Wang Rong He said.
Palace Manager Cui was followed by a female official, who came in holding a booklet. After greeting the Queen, Palace Manager Cui said, ”This is a history book, please inspect it, Your Highness.”
Wang Rong He took the letter and read it, ”Yesterday, it said that His Majesty was in the Imperial Lower Consort Yang Palace and was unlucky.”
Wang Rong pointed with her hand and said, ”How long can I see your history?”
”All Mistresses can see it.” Palace Manager Cui said. If the Empress did not seal the history, even if the concubines were lucky, they would not be able to do it. ”
Wang Rong was astonished. Didn't that mean that she didn't have a seal? Even if the imperial harem served the emperor and gave birth to a child, he still wouldn't know the father.
The Queen was a good position.
Wang Rong thought, ”I want to see the history of the previous few months.”
”Which month does the Empress want to start?” Palace Manager Cui asked.
”It started from the month when Imperial Consort Candidate entered the Chuxiu Palace.” Wang Rong He said.
”Yes.” Palace Manager Cui replied, she looked back and the female official left, not long later she returned with two books. Wang Rong casually flipped through it, as though there was no pattern. In the few days that Wang Zhixi had accepted the favor, Wang Rong had obviously slowed down the frequency of flipping of books.
The Emperor and the Gonghou Garden met with Imperial Consort Candidate Wang Shi.
Wang Rong smiled.
