C112 (1/2)
The first time they met, Wang Rong was distracted on the bench. It turned out that when she sat on the seat looking at the first time, Imperial Consort Candidate's mood was so obvious, no matter if it was genuine calm or fake calmness, jubilant little happiness and perturbation, she wanted to show herself, to show a slight disappointment at being praised by others.
What kind of expression did he have then? Wang Rongwen thought it was funny, but he could not help but smile.
”What is the empress laughing at?” Empress Dowager Chen asked.
”Seeing that there are many outstanding beauties in this session of Imperial Consort Candidate, I was happy for the emperor.” Wang Rong said with a smile.
”Choosing a concubine is one of the most important things.” The Empress Dowager Li said.
”Yes.” Wang Rong smiled. ”But I believe that beautiful people should have virtues not inferior to appearance.”
Imperial Consort Candidate would return to her Chuxiu Palace and whisper, ”There's a Heavenly Immortal that descended from the heavens at the Calamity Workshop. On the contrary, his sister's appearance is unremarkable, and she doesn't have salt in her. I didn't believe it before, but I saw it today, and it is as I expected.” Some Imperial Consort Candidate disciples said that the sisters would secretly whisper to each other.
”You mean the empress?” The Imperial Consort Candidate said.
”That's right.” The first person said, ”Look, the empress is not ordinary. At least, all of us are more beautiful than the empress.”
”But empress looks very comfortable.” Imperial Consort Candidate said, ”It's so sweet to laugh.”
”What do you mean smile so sweetly? What sort of adjective is that?” ”The first Imperial Consort Candidate said disdainfully. I think it's very ordinary. ”
”No matter how ordinary empress she looks, she is still a empress. We will have to rely on her breathing to survive in the future.” Another Imperial Consort Candidate said. She was not prepared to discuss much about the empress's appearance.
”Everyone says that empress is a saintly person. empress is kind and we can live a good life in the future.” The Imperial Consort Candidate said, ”For example, this time's palace selection's Big Sister Palace Manager told us everything from the start, including how someone will come to watch us sleep at night. I heard that the last time Imperial Consort Candidate saw someone at the bedchamber in the middle of the night, she lost control of herself from shock and was eliminated. ”
”Palace Manager said that empress said that she wanted to tell us first. empress can even consider such meticulous considerations. She really is a good person.”
”It'll be great if you just watch it from the surface.” The Imperial Consort Candidate at the beginning disdainfully said, ”empress's heart is like a Bodhisattva when he enters the palace, why hasn't Little Prince been born even after such a long time? empress doesn't have children of her own, and others are not allowed to give birth to children either.”
”Really?” The Imperial Consort Candidate said worriedly, ”Then what should we do?”
”Worried about these things is better than worrying about whether or not I can stay in the palace.” The Imperial Consort Candidate retorted angrily. Anyway, I don't think empress is that kind of person. ”
The next month, when Duke Yongnian Palace's people entered the palace, they indeed brought Wang Fuchang to the palace as well. This was the first time Wang Fuchang entered the palace, and although it was a bit formal, she couldn't suppress her curiosity and looked left and right. It was magnificent and solemn everywhere.
Wang Rong smiled and said, ”Third Sister is getting old and wants to get married. What are your thoughts? If you take advantage of everyone's time to talk to us, I can help you with an idea.”
”Empress.” Wang Fuchang was full of shyness, ”I don't want to get married yet, I want to stay at home with my grandmother and mother.”
”When I think of Chang'er's marriage, my heart is also empty.” The Lady Cui said, ”Empress should find a good marriage for Chang'er.”
”I don't even know who's family has a young man around their age, how can I find him for Third Sister?” Wang Rong He said, ”It's just that I won't be vague about the things that should be done after the family kiss Third Sister.”
”Your Majesty has arrived.” eunuch sang.
The room was in a state of panic as everyone tried to get up to greet him. As Wang Rongzhi walked to the front, Fu Cheng asked with his eyes, ”Why is His Majesty here at this time?”
Zhu Yijun saw Wang Rong and the people from the Duke Yongnian Palace saluting behind her, and said apologetically to Wang Rong and the little girl, ”We forgot that the people from the Duke Yongnian Palace are entering the palace today, so we came directly here for you. Why don't we return to the Qianqing Palace first? ”
”Since Your Majesty has come, let's have a cup of tea before leaving.” Wang Rong He said, ”I don't want others to think that His Majesty is dissatisfied with my family.”
Zhu Yijun and Wang Rong walked to the main seat and sat down, then called for everyone to sit down. Zhu Yijun turned to ask Wang Rong He when he saw Wang Zhixi, ”Is she here every time you see her family?”
”It's a family, after all.” Wang Rong He said.
Zhu Yijun did not ask anymore, but smiled and asked the old lady how she was doing, and then asked the Lady Cui, and it was Wang Fuchang's turn, ”This is?”
”Replying to Emperor, Brother-in-law, am I an elder in the Duke Yongnian Palace?” Wang Fuchang said mischievously.
”Chang'er.” Grandmother stopped her with a look of disapproval before she stood up and apologized to His Majesty, ”I have no complaints about my granddaughter. Please forgive me, Your Majesty.”
”Old lady, there's no need to be nervous. It's not a big deal.” Zhu Yijun laughed and said. At the start, he had been scared silly by his brother-in-law. ”You can call me brother-in-law, but isn't I the same as you?” He looked at Wang Rong He.
”Little sister is a spoiled child. Your Majesty, please don't spoil her again.” Wang Rong He said.
”Is sister-in-law betrothed to her?” Zhu Yijun asked.
”Not yet, Your Majesty.” Lady Cui continued.
”Then I'll have to choose a good home.” Zhu Yijun said, ”Do you have a crush on that family?”
When the Lady Cui wanted to speak, Wang Fuchang interrupted her and said, ”Brother-in-law, I'm still young. To discuss my marriage in front of me, I'm so embarrassed that I don't even have an ear to listen to you.”
