Wang Rong waited outside the Qianqing Palace Hall for less than an hour, and after meeting with the emperor for less than three sentences, they left unhappily. Wuyou followed behind Wang Rong, feeling extremely anxious in his heart, but he did not know how to persuade her and was afraid that she would not be able to say anything, causing the Empress to become even more angry.

The Empress had a very good character. Normally, she wouldn't care if she was angry, so once something really happened and she became stubborn, no one else would be able to convince her.

Wuyou hoped once again that she would be fine. She understood that the Empress's way of thinking had never gone wrong, so she knew how to speak up.

After returning to the Qianqing Palace, Wang Rong called for a bath so that no one would follow him. She would be soaked in the water and would feel bored underwater from time to time, until she couldn't breathe and had to look up to the point where her fingernails were covered in powder.

It was as warm as spring in the East Warm Pavilion. Wang Rong who wore a jacket sent over some snacks. ”I feel especially hungry after bathing.” Wang Rong said with a smile.

His Majesty didn't like the empress, so she should be worried about everything on the Kunning Palace, but because the empress was exceptionally relaxed, it made the palace maid feel that his anxiety was too short-sighted, and wasn't enough to show off.

As the Empress's palace maid, he should remain calm.

In Yun Chang's eyes, the Empress's embroidery was very ordinary. Fortunately, the Empress was well aware of her shortcomings, so she used different colored gems and pearls to form a beaded sized bead, and then embroidered into a design.

It could cover up the Empress's lack of embroidery.

Wang Rong and An Ran continued their activities as usual, not putting in the slightest bit of the grudge the Emperor had against her in their hearts.

”Empress, are we still giving today's dishes to the Qianqing Palace?” Fleur asked.

”I'll send you off.” Wang Rong He said, ”In the future, I will deliver it every day. There is no need to ask me, nor do I need to choose a dish. I will randomly choose one from my diet every day and go there.”

Zhu Yijun didn't even have to taste today's food before it was sent back.

Wang Rong He listened, ”In the future, your majesty doesn't need to tell me whether or not you're eating. You can split the dishes that were sent back from Qianqing Palace.”

As the month of La, all sorts of sacrifices were made, and all sorts of banquets were held. The inner wives paid their respects in all sorts of ways. During this busy time, Wang Rong would get fatter after eating five meals a day.

Zhu Yijun currently favored Imperial Consort Guo s, Imperial Lower Consort Yang s, Imperial Noble Lady Yu s, and even Imperial Lower Consort Lan s the most. In the end, his majesty would bestow him dishes every day. His majesty had bestowed favors to the imperial palace in the previous dynasty, but his Kunning Palace did not receive any of the gifts from his majesty at all. Even on the fifteenth day of the tenth month, Zhu Yijun had not reached Kunning Palace.

”The empress is the wife of His Majesty, and a good empress would be a good one if you take good care of the harem. His Majesty is not a willful person, and will not easily be re-established after he is crippled.”

”After all, in this world, His Majesty doesn't like many empress and there are many that His Majesty loathes.” There were fewer empress who were highly valued by His Majesty, and many empress who were highly respected by His Majesty. ”Think about it yourself. As long as you're a queen, no one can surpass you no matter who's favored. Anyone who has a child must call you 'Queen Mother'.” The Empress Dowager Chen said.

”This son knows.” Wang Rong He said, ”Imperial Mother, this son wishes to put Su Zhai in Tan Tuo Temple for a month in the name of Imperial Mother and mother, and the cold weather in the capital. I will make a thousand quilts and a thick cotton-padded jacket and place it at Tan Tuo Temple, and it will be given to the poor in the family without suffering from the winter.”

”Why did you suddenly think of doing such a thing?” Empress Dowager Chen asked.

”Not all of a sudden. This is what I've been doing since I was young. I have the strength in my family, and I helped them before the new year. It would be great if I could help one more person through the winter.” Wang Yunhe said, ”The quilt and coat are ready. As long as the Queen Mother agrees, we can carry them out.”

”If you are so kind, then why doesn't Your Majesty like you?” The Empress Dowager Chen sighed.

When the Empress Dowager Li heard Wang Rong's plan, she looked at her and said, ”Previously at the harem, he had already spread the wealth around once, but now he is going to spread it outside the palace? ”How much money do you have to be so generous?”

”No matter how much money I have, I will only use it for myself.” Wang Rong He said, ”Besides, with a concubine and a bracelet, it would be enough for me to go to Buzhai and do good deeds. It wouldn't cost me much.”

”You want to make sure no one in the capital goes hungry or cold by yourself?” Empress Dowager Li asked.

”I don't want to.” Wang Rong He said, ”Your majesty has given me all of your son's possessions. If you want no one else to starve or freeze in the capital, you will need endless amounts of money. Isn't that what you're spending?”

”However, as long as your son leads such an event, all the other families in the capital will naturally take action as well. This way, even more people will be able to help.” Wang Rong He said.

”Do it.” The Empress Dowager Li said, ”This one has not earned your title for nothing.” She had already asked palace maid to take out five hundred silver taels and make good use of it.

After Wang Rong and the others left the palace, the Empress Dowager Li said to the people beside him, ”Go ask for His Majesty.”

Zhu Yijun came to Ci'an Palace. ”Queen Mother.”

Empress Dowager Li repeated Wang Rong and what she had done, ”Your Majesty, the Empress is a good Queen, even if Your Majesty isn't happy, you should at least spare her enough face.”

Zhu Yijun's face showed displeasure, ”Since when have we never given her face?”

”His Majesty gifted us with food, even the imperial harem has it. Only the Kunning Palace does not.”
