The next day, Wang Zhixi also came, Wang Rong smiled and said, ”I said that the servants need to rest well, there is no need to come early to greet me. You just went to sleep yesterday, why did you come today?”
Wang Zhixi lowered her head, ”Many thanks to the Empress for your pity. Your concubine has made a good decision today, so I still wish to pay my respects to the Empress.”
”Such a good sister.” ”The Imperial Consort Guo laughed. I am truly envious of the Beauty Wang. Not only does she have an Empress sis, she also has a good older sister from the Imperial Lower Consort Lan who helped me invite her over. I won't be so lucky. ”
”Did anyone hear that? Imperial Consort Guo was unable to feel the deep affection between the sisters of the palace, so in the future, when there is nothing to do, the sisters will need to go and walk around the Yi Kun Palace. ” Wang Rong and Wen Yan said. High ranking in the Imperial Consort Guo, obviously, means that she will also be a good older sister. ”
All the consorts agreed.
After bidding farewell, Palace Manager Cui came over to send Tongzhi off. Wang Rong was not surprised to see that the both of them had the Jingyang Palace of a Beauty Wang. She did not mind the two small words that followed behind the, leaving nothing behind.
When Palace Manager Cui saw that she did not seal the pill as usual, she knew that she had her doubts. She lowered her head and said, ”After Your Majesty has pampered your concubines, eunuch will ask if Your Majesty is willing to keep them. If Your Majesty does not, eunuch will take the medicine to avoid them and it will be recorded in the history.”
Wang Rong found it hard to understand. ”I've never seen such a thing before?”
Palace Manager Cui replied.
Wang Rong and herself understood what was going on, so she added on the history book, ”Now that the Imperial Lower Consort Lan is pregnant, there is no rush for you, your majesty and your son. I think I will see these words often.”
After Palace Manager Cui left, Wang Rong sat blankly in place and did not move for a long time. Hibiscus gave her a change of tea, waking her from her stupor.
”He accepted such a great grievance yet still didn't come looking for me. It seems that he has really improved.” Wang Rong said to herself.
”Jing Ru and Liu Jing, please come to visit Kunning Palace in the afternoon.” Wang Rong He said.
Wang Rong and the Shang Guan prepared a few unique snacks for the guests. Yang Jingru and Liu Jing arrived rather early, ”Thinking of the Empress' summons, I couldn't stay in the palace for even a moment, I didn't come too early, right?”
”Do I even mind that you guys have arrived too early?” Wang Rong said with a smile, ”Both of you get on the brick bed and chat as you go.”
”Then I'll forgive the concubine for being excessive.” Yang Jingru and Liu Jing said.
The three of them sat around the small brick table. Yang Jingru first said, ”Imperial Lower Consort Liu and I are very clear why the Empress summoned me and the Imperial Lower Consort Liu. However, don't worry, we are not narrow-minded people. Everyone has their own path of fortune, and hers is good, but our path of fortune is probably at the back. ”
”Since Imperial Lower Consort Lan is pregnant, I can't help but ask His Majesty to visit her more often.” Wang Rong He said, ”I'm afraid you all think that I will only let His Majesty go to the Imperial Lower Consort Lan, not you all. It makes you all feel disheartened.”
”We all understand the Empress's intentions, so how could we be disappointed?” Liu Jing said, ”Jingru's days are fixed every month when I see his majesty. Although I can't be liked by his majesty, but with the Empress looking after me, my days are not that bad.”
”Endure it a little longer.” ”It will be fine, I promise.”
”Let's not talk about all these depressing things. The Empress often makes noises and sounds like someone from the Faculty Division. Could it be that the Empress is hiding her strength today, and is unwilling to share it with us?” Yang Jingru said.
”Nothing.” Wang Rong smiled and said, signalling Wulv, and the people from Faculty Division continued to play.
”But I say, Imperial Lower Consort Lan's luck is really very good.” Yang Jingru said. Her number of times she accepted favors was not much, but at least it was better than the Imperial Lower Consort Lan who only accepted twice, but there was no information on her at all.
”Don't be anxious, didn't the imperial physician say last time that it was nothing when it came to pulse checking?” Liu Jing consoled. She didn't even have a concubine, let alone a child.
”Do you know why she's so pregnant?” Wang Rong He said.
”Empress knows?” Yang Jingru asked.
I was just guessing.” ”Wang Rong He said,” ”When I was at home, I've often heard people say that a country woman giving birth to a bunch of children would not be able to support them and would not have to worry about not being able to give birth at all.” ”But when a noble woman asked for medical treatment, there were many who begged for the life of a Buddha.” ”Think about it, what makes the difference between the two of them is that they lack food, drink, and work year round?”
”The difference is a regular exercise, and a very little exercise.” Wang Rong He said, ”All the ladies in the big families emphasize immovable like a mountain. If this body doesn't move, how can it have any life force? If there's no life, how can we ignite a fire? ”
”It's just that Imperial Lower Consort Lan often moved when she was young and her body was good. When she reached the palace, there weren't many places to move, but the vitality in her body was still that active?” Yang Jingru asked, then if she did not like to move when she was young, would she have no chance of survival? Liu Jing didn't need to ask, the vitality in her body must be very abundant, but she was indeed as unmoving as a mountain, and it didn't matter that her body was a little weak at all. Women are all delicate and weak, but if her offspring were to be affected, Yang Jingru was a little terrified, could it be that the vitality in her body would never be able to ignite fire within her for the rest of her life?
”You all have just been given the title of concubines, so you don't know that there are actually a lot of places that the servants need to move around.” Wang Ronghe said, ”The vitality is active, the change is not fixed, you touch it more, you do not move it less. Think about it, if there is no life in a person's body, then that person would be a dead person. ”
”After you return to the palace, don't just sit there every day. Occasionally, you would also stand up and move. Once you do, that life force would come back.” Wang Rong He said.
”But the most important thing is to relax.” Wang Rong He said, ”I'm not that old yet, so let's relax a bit.”
In the future, when you become a new student, it will be even harder to get a chance.” Yang Jingru said, ”As long as there is a child, it doesn't matter if His Majesty comes or not.” Liu Jing nodded in agreement. They were people who could see clearly, and did not ask for favors. It was as if they had a child, and after a long, boring day in the palace, there was redemption and hope.
”There will be children.” Wang Rong He said.
