Zhu Yijun tightened the grip on Wang Rong's shoulder, ”You know about it?”
”Madam Marquis Wu Qing had sent two girls to me. One of them went back to the palace while the other stayed by my side. The palace maid that went back to the palace was originally arranged to be at the Qianqing Palace Tea House, but was later taken away by Ci An Palace.” Wang Rong He said.
Zhu Yijun patted her shoulder, ”You obviously know, yet you still dare to come to Qianqing Palace. You sure are bold.”
”I don't know.” Wang Rong said mischievously, ”Hong Li is not here to serve me. Besides, who would dare to say that the palace maid of Ci'an Palace and the palace maid of Kunning Palace are exchanging information in private? If the Queen Mother didn't say it out loud, I would pretend that I didn't know. If Imperial Mother doesn't want me to come here, I can just say it out loud.
”Didn't you say that you are the favorite of the Queen Mother? Why does it look to me like you don't like the Queen Mother at all?” Zhu Yijun said.
”His Majesty has mixed up the cause and effect. It was true that the empress dowager liked me back then. Although it can't be said that she doesn't like me now, it's also true that she doesn't like me as much as before.” Wang Rong He said. This is not because I'm not pleasing to your eyes, but because all of the wives in the world love their daughter-in-law like this. ”
”If you want to please, why wouldn't muhou like you coming to Qianqing Palace?” Zhu Yijun said. ”Why doesn't the nanny of this world like a daughter-in-law?”
”If Your Majesty wishes to put it this way, I will return.” Wang Rong He stood up and said.
Zhu Yijun pulled her into his embrace, ”You stayed at the Qianqing Palace all night today, are you afraid to go see Mother tomorrow?”
”I'm not afraid. Didn't I say it before, I simply didn't know that Your Majesty would come to the Kunning Palace today, and I also didn't know that Your Majesty would come here today.” I wasn't afraid, I didn't I really know that Your Majesty would come to the Kunning Palace today, and I didn't know that Your Majesty would come here. Wang Yunhe said, ”The Queen Mother can only say that my little daughter's heart is not serious, but she can't say anything else.”
”The mother-in-law of this world doesn't like daughter-in-law. It's probably because after having a daughter-in-law, the most important woman in my son's heart isn't my mother.” Wang Rong He said.
”How could that be?” Zhu Yijun frowned and said, ”Because of my filial piety, mother will only have one more person to be filial. Where in the world would a wife not listen to her mother? ”
”Yes, a lot.” Wang Rong said with a smile. His Majesty has a firm will, but he doesn't know how powerful his words are. ”
”Oh, how powerful is it?” Zhu Yijun asked, ”Let's see Zitong bragging to us.”
Wang Rong puffed out her mouth and blew into Zhu Yijun's ears, ”Your majesty, is my pillow powerful?”
Zhu Yijun was blown until he felt itchy, one of them grabbed onto her and rolled on the bed, while the other pressed down on her from above, with his hands on Wang Rong's face and temples.
”I'm afraid that after this, we won't be able to go to Kunning Palace for the time being.” Zhu Yijun said. It's just that I've wronged you. ”
”I'm not feeling wronged. Tomorrow, I won't be able to come to Qianqing Palace for the time being.” Wang Rong said with a smile.
The next day, Wang Rong went from Qianqing Palace to Kunning Palace. After receiving the imperial concubine's regards, she went to the two palaces to pay her respects. Because there wasn't enough time, the imperial concubine only paid her respects.
Empress Dowager Chen had heard from someone that empress had come to pay her respects. She knew that her majesty wanted to go to Kunning Palace yesterday and wasn't allowed to, then she also knew that Wang Rong had went to Qianqing Palace later on and stayed another night. The Empress Dowager Chen asked someone to put on a crown for her. ”The Queen is really more interesting than the ones I've taken a fancy to before.”
”Perhaps the Empress didn't know that there was another scene yesterday?” The palace maid said.
”It was all done for her to see. Even His Majesty doesn't know the reason behind it. She definitely knows about it.” Empress Dowager Chen said. Madame Li does not like the empress sleeping at the Qianqing Palace. ”
”If it's the empress dowager, then you might say it's a violation of the rules. The empress is His Majesty's wife, so what's wrong with His Majesty leaving her to sleep in her chambers?” The Empress Dowager Chen said, ”She, an empress dowager, lived in the Qianqing Palace for several years before, so this empress couldn't stay overnight?”
”This Dowager will see just how the empress she has chosen will fight her.” The Empress Dowager Chen said.
In the end, he even said with concern, ”Your mother is very strict. If you don't like you going to Qianqing Palace, you might be a little more strict today, so don't take it to heart.”
Wang Rong said with an expression as if this was the first time she had heard of such a thing, ”mother is not happy for this subject to go to Qianqing Palace? This son doesn't know, otherwise this son wouldn't have gone to Qianqing Palace yesterday. ”
Empress Dowager Chen didn't seem to know anything from her expression, but she didn't need to tell if it was real or fake. She could only smile and shake her head before telling her to go to Ci'an Palace.
”Esteemed Empress Dowager was unable to sleep soundly last night, so I slept during the early morning. In order not to disturb Esteemed Empress Dowager, this servant dared to ask empress to wait outside the palace, and when Empress woke up, she found out that empress was still waiting outside, so she scolded me and told Empress to quickly go in.”
”What you did was right. The Queen Mother's peaceful sleep came first.” Wang Rong He said, ”Why was the Queen Mother unable to sleep soundly last night? Have you called the royal physician? ”
”The Empress has an old illness. She did not allow this servant to call the imperial physician, she only drank a dose of the Soul-Calming Powder.” palace maid lowered her head and said.
”When the time comes, we still have to call for an imperial physician.” Wang Rong He said.
When Wang Rong He saw Empress Dowager Li, her expression was stiff and uncomfortable. After saluting, he asked her with concern, ”Imperial Physician, can you please come and see your mother's unwell condition?”
”I'm fine.” Empress Dowager Li pressed the corner of his eyes, ”You've waited outside the hall for a long time today.”
”This son can wait.” Wang Rong He said, ”This son is only worried about mother's health, if mother's body is unhappy, Your Majesty should be worried too.”
”I'm fine.” The Empress Dowager Li said.
Wang Rong He looked at Empress Dowager Li, and seeing that she didn't take the initiative to raise the subject, he carefully spoke up. ”When this son just came out of Peace Palace, the empress said that mother wasn't happy that this son should go to Qianqing Palace. This son will not go in the future.”
