Going to the two palaces was a rare occurrence, and there wasn't any delay in doing so. After saying a few words to let Wang Rong come back, Wuyou secretly looked for Wang Zhixi when the imperial concubine invited him back to the palace, ”Beauty Wang, please stay here. Today, the Duke Yongnian's family members are going to the palace.

Wang Zhixi's figure moved, ”Can I also see Madam Duke Yongnian today?” She thought that Wang Rong and her mother would have to hang out for at least a day or two before she was allowed to meet her mother.

”Duke Yongnian is also a beauty's family. The last time I entered the palace, it was to see my wife. empress did not leave Madam Duke Yongnian and Old Madam to meet alone, nor did she summon a beauty.”

”Thank you for your kindness.” Wang Zhixi's eyes reddened, as if she was deeply moved and unable to repay the gratitude.

When Wang Rong and the rest return to the palace, they would be able to call for the Duke Yongnian and his family who were waiting outside the Kunning Palace. Today, in addition to the Old Mistress and Lady Cui, there was also Wang Rong and his second sister-in-law. Madam Sun, Old Mistress Sun and Lady Cui were all dressed in first-name clothes.

”Everyone, please get up.” Wang Rong sat on the throne and waited for her grandmother to finish saluting before speaking. ”A gift.”

”Thank you, esteemed Empress.” the old lady said.

Lady Cui looked at Wang Rong and Wang Zhixi who was standing beside her.

However, the old granny and Wang Ronghe did not want to see it. Although the grandfather-grandson pair had fallen from their previous positions, they sat up and down, gently chatting with each other about family matters. It was just as warm as it had been in the past.

”Your father is doing well. Although because of the title of nobility, he handed over the real affairs in his hands, and did not hand them over to anyone else, for your brother to take over, and even raised his cultivation by two levels. The emperor is very concerned about the family, and your third brother was also promoted by the emperor to become an official. The Emperor still wants to give you second brother's position, but your second brother is too used to being a scholar, and feels that it's not suitable for him to be an official, so he pushed it away. ”

”Actually, your second sister came to the palace today to bid you farewell.” The old lady said helplessly.

”Mrs Sun stood up and said to Wang Rong and Yu Fu.” Let me bid farewell to the Empress for my husband. The two of us have decided to travel, read thousands of books, and travel ten thousand miles. This has always been his husband's wish, and now that he has the chance to fulfill it, both of us are asking for mercy. ”It's just that the mountains are tall and the waters long. I don't know when I'll be able to return, so Husband has agreed to bid the Empress farewell before departing.”

”What?” Wang Rong was shocked. It's just that I've pushed the officials given me away by His Majesty, there's no need to go through all this. ”

”It's not all because of His Majesty giving him an official position. Ever since the Mid-Autumn Festival, my husband has stopped going to the academy. The academy is under the hands of the Son of Heaven, so we can't wholeheartedly study.” If he were to stay in the capital at this time, it would bring him all sorts of harm and no profit. Since His Majesty was going to bestow the title of an official to him, the King would go find his father and tell him that His Majesty favored his mother, and they had no choice but to repay him for it. He knew that his own talent was not for being an official, and if His Majesty wanted him to become one, it would be a mistake for him to stay in the capital for a few years. Wang Wei agreed.

”When my husband was not married, he roamed around studying. Although he didn't say anything about it after he was married, he still kept thinking about it. This is a golden opportunity. My husband asked my father-in-law and my father-in-law agreed to it and we set off on our journey.” Since it was not only a year or two since the king had gone, the Sun family had to follow him.

Lady Cui interrupted, ”The man's ambition is set in four directions, although the parents are there, not far away, it's a good thing that my second brother has a brother, and a younger brother, who can help him raise his parents. However, why do I have to bring you along when my second brother is travelling? I don't even have a child now. ”

Wang Rong smiled. ”We can only have children if Second Sister-in-Law and Second Brother are together. If we were husband and wife, we wouldn't have children even if we had to wait for a few more years.”

It was also with this interruption that Wang Rongyun also recovered and said to Sun Shi with a smile. ”I'm so envious of second brother and second wife. We'll see how good it is when we go there. Second sister, you have to urge second brother. Don't forget to write a travel note and send it back for me to see. Treat it as if I've been there.”

”If I meet a beautiful scenery along the way, I will also paint a picture and send it home together with the letter of safety when I arrive at the relay station.” Sun Shi said.

”Great.” Wang Rong smiled and clapped her hands, ”Second brother is good at painting, second sister is good at painting, I'll make a picture for you when you write. You really are a divine couple.”

After asking a few more questions about Wang Rong and her bestowment, it was time for Grandmother to leave. Wang Rong reluctantly said, ”Beauty Wang, please help me send old madam out of the palace.”

Wang Zhixi said as she bent her knees.

Exiting the Kunning Palace, Wang Zhixi said to the old lady, ”Grandmother understands that granddaughter cannot pay her respects.”

”Beauty is His Majesty's beauty. If I see you alone, I will have to pay my respects. How can I forgive you?” The old man said, ”It's fine to have a beautiful appearance, but this old body can relax. In the imperial harem, a beautiful woman is born from the same father as the Empress. The Empress has a kind disposition, so the beauty need not worry about the future.”

”The Empress treats me extremely well. Even in the palace, no one dares to be slow with me because of the Empress.” Wang Zhixi said, ”I just miss my family occasionally and can't sleep at night.”

The old mistress nodded. ”Let's keep things open. I've married a young master from a foreign sect, so I often miss my parents. Fortunately, I'm in the capital now, so I often enter the palace to meet them.”

”Elder sister, Hong Fu.” Wang Zhixi said.

The Lady Cui wanted to say a few intimate words to her daughter. The Old Mistress knew what was going on and allowed Madam Sun to support her as they walked quickly, leaving the two of them with some space to talk.

Lady Cui asked how His Majesty treated you in a low voice. Wang Zhixi nodded her head, ”It's just that there are too many concubines in the palace, so Your Majesty can't summon them often.”

”Even empress can't do it?” Lady Cui asked.

”Big sister can't be too active either.” Big sister can't be too active. Wang Zhixi said.

”She just can't bear to part with her fake name. Elder sister taking care of little sister is a matter of course, she's the empress. You have a saint's pet, so it can't be any better.” ”Don't listen to her. Otherwise, when will she make use of you? You guys are not the same mother.”

”Mother.” Wang Zhixi shook her head, signalling Lady Cui not to speak excessively.
