The Imperial Lower Consort Lan returned to the palace on a chariot, and actually arrived there before Wang Zhixi. However, just as the two of them reached the Jingyang Palace, eunuch came over to warn the two emperors that they were ready to receive them.
”Didn't your majesty just arrive at the Kunning Palace? Why are you here already?” The Imperial Lower Consort Lan asked curiously.
”It was empress who helped the Empress to bear the grudge of the Dragon Queen. After hearing His Majesty's words of advice, His Majesty decided to personally come to the Jingyang Palace to see the Empress.” The eunuch said.
”The empress.” Imperial Lower Consort Lan lowered her head and said.
She pushed Wang Zhixi, telling her to quickly go and dress up. Wang Zhixi was moved, but she lowered his head and said, ”There's no time, I'll help you change first.”
”Go quickly, I have plenty of palace maid here.” ”No matter how beautiful I am, His Majesty will not let me down. As for you, don't miss this chance.”
Wang Zhixi was half-pushed back into her own side hall, and once she closed the door, she shouted, ”Quick, find me a set of soft yellow brocade palace clothes.”
”But a beauty, pink is more like you.” The palace maid said.
”Stop bullshitting, we don't have much time left.” Wang Zhixi sat in front of the dresser, ”Take off some of the hairpin on my head. Wipe off your eye makeup, redraw it, and make it a little rounder. ”
The palace maid didn't know why Wang Zhixi didn't highlight her beauty, but instead tried to paint him as a normal girl. Only when she was completely dressed up did the palace maid lower her head.
At this time, the angel was already at the Jingyang Palace entrance. Wang Zhixi hurried over to the main hall to receive him.
”Welcome, your Imperial Majesty. Your consort pays her respects to you.” Imperial Lower Consort Lan kneeled and said.
”No need to be so polite.” Zhu Yijun shouted, ”Your body is heavy now, so you just have to try your best.
”Thank you for your understanding.” The Imperial Lower Consort Lan said.
As the group walked into the hall, Zhu Yijun and Imperial Lower Consort Lan had nothing to say. Zhu Yijun asked about the body, and prepared to leave after drinking the tea. When Wang Zhixi served tea, Zhu Yijun felt a sense of familiarity and sized him up a few more times, ”You are?”
”My concubine, Beauty Wang Shi.” Wang Zhixi said timidly. Half a year was more than enough for His Majesty to forget about her.
”Oh, it seems to be Zitong's little sister, right?” Zhu Yijun said. I didn't think you two looked so alike before. ”
”I am of the same father as empress, so there is naturally some similarities.” Wang Zhixi said.
”What tea is this?” Zhu Yijun took a whiff, ”It's very fragrant.”
”Reporting to Your Majesty, this is jasmine flower tea, a mixture of brewed jasmine flower and green tea. It's an elder sister, a favorite tea in empress.” Wang Zhixi said.
”Jasmine tea?” Zhu Yijun said, ”But we have never seen this tea in the Kunning Palace.”
”This is something concubine and the Empress made while playing in a room. The Empress is currently in the palace, so I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate.” Wang Zhixi said.
Zhu Yijun picked up the cup and sniffed it lightly, ”Tell me more about Zitong's life in your daughter.”
Wang Rong leaned against the beauty and read a book. Hibiscus asked, ”Empress, are you going to set up a meal?”
Wang Rong He looked outside and asked, ”What time is it?”
”The end is over.” Hibiscus said respectfully.
”Has His Majesty not come yet?” Wang Rong said in a strange manner.
Hibiscus shook her head, and carefully said, ”I heard that the imperial cuisine has been sent to the Jingyang Palace.”
