Zhu Yijun stayed at the Kunning Palace for three days. On the fourth day, the Imperial Lower Consort Zheng dressed up for him and then waited for his Qianqing Palace to summon him, ”Your majesty has already been at the Kunning Palace for three days. She is very confident that His Majesty will call upon her.
Then, he waited from noon until the sun set, but did not see anyone from Qianqing Palace.
The Imperial Lower Consort Zheng clenched her fists and said, ”Go, I want to ask who Her Majesty managed to call upon today.”
Very soon, palace maid came back to report, ”His Majesty summoned Imperial Lower Consort Yang and Imperial Lower Consort Liu to try out the carriage at Kunning Palace, but he probably didn't stay to sleep. They all returned to the palace before dinner.”
”Is your majesty still staying at the Kunning Palace today?” Imperial Lower Consort Zheng asked.
”Probably.” The palace maid said.
”It's not like the empress can't wait on you, so why is the emperor always staying in Kunning Palace?” Imperial Lower Consort Zheng did not understand. Go call the Imperial Noble Lady Yu over? ”
When Zhou Yuting came to the Salty Fortune Palace, the Imperial Lower Consort Zheng asked her, ”Why haven't I heard that your majesty is summoning a new concubine today? He has already been in the Kunning Palace for three days. ”
”That's normal.” Zhou Yuting said, ”Today, no one from the harem is waiting for His Majesty's summons.” She looked at Imperial Lower Consort Zheng, who was obviously dressed up, and laughed.
Imperial Lower Consort Zheng was a little unhappy, ”What? Is there anything else I don't know? ”
”The Empress has only been in the palace for a short period of time. It's strange that I don't know.” Zhou Yuting said, ”Every year during the first month, your majesty will stay at the Kunning Palace for an entire month.”
”Right now, the Empress is pregnant. His Majesty wanting to accompany the Empress for a long time was within his expectations.” Zhou Yuting said, ”Your majesty has given the Empress a lot of face.”
”Is that so? I really can't tell. ” Imperial Lower Consort Zheng said angrily.
”If the Empress stays in the palace long enough, you'll know.” Zhou Yuting laughed.
Fourth day, fifth day, seventh day. Zhu Yijun stayed at the Kunning Palace the entire time. After he finished handling government affairs, he would go to the Kunning Palace, allowing Wang Rong to lean on him. The two would eat a snack and watch a dance.
Wang Rong didn't say whether Zhu Yijun had chosen the discourse first, ”Your majesty has read such serious content, this child doesn't like it.”
”The discourse is serious?” Zhu Yijun said, ”This is already the beginner's book.”
”After His Majesty reads it, can the child be born without learning the language?” Wang Rong and her questions.
Zhu Yijun was at a loss for words, ”If he was born and still remembers, then there's no need for him to learn.”
”Since he was born, we should learn it from him. When he's in his stomach, let him listen to you with a bit of ease.” Wang Rong He said.
Zhu Yijun looked at her and laughed, ”Is it that the child doesn't like you or that you don't like her?”
”I don't like it, but the kids don't. If a child does not like it, I do not like it. ” Wang Rong He said, ”Your Majesty, it is only when the mother's mood is better that the child feels the happiness that he feels in his womb before growing up.”
”Then what do you want to hear, I'll read it out for you.” Zhu Yijun closed his mouth. This is the first time I've heard a story told to a child in my womb. ”
”Because it's all my mother's doing.” Wang said, ”Otherwise, why would the child be built from the flesh and blood of the parents? But the child would be intimate with the mother from the day the child was born, and the affection between father and son would begin on the day the baby was born, and the relationship between mother and son would begin on the day the child was conceived.”
”That's why your majesty must work hard.” Wang Rong said while looking at Zhu Yijun, ”The child will only be intimate with your majesty once he is born.”
Zhu Yijun nodded as if he had sensed something.
Zhu Yijun did not say, nor did Wang Rong. The empress dowager had said that she wanted to recuperate, and she had not gone to the Tzu Ning Palace to pay her respects. However, the empress dowager had sent people over to ask about the empress everyday.
On the morning of the eighth day, Zhu Yijun stood up, and Wang Rong rubbed her eyes as she crawled up, ”Sleep a little longer.” Zhu Yijun turned his head and said.
”After lying in bed for seven days, the imperial physician also said that my pregnancy is stable. I have to go to the mother's mother to thank him.” Wang Rong He said, ”Your Majesty, don't come over for lunch today. I'm not sure if I'll be back from mother's place by then.”
”Don't talk for too long. Even though you've gotten back on track, you still have to be careful, okay?” Zhu Yijun said.
”I will.” Wang Rong He said. But I want to put off the second wife's invitation for a few more days. ”
”Before you are born, let them pay their respects to you at the palace gates.” Zhu Yijun said, ”The fragrance that they used to rub on is heavy, who knows if it will affect them.”
Also, if you want to invite the people of the Duke Yongnian Palace into the palace tomorrow, since you and your grandmother are going to be dating, why don't you let her accompany you in the palace until after you give birth? Zhu Yijun suggested.
”Thank you for your grace, your majesty.” Wang Rong He said, ”It's just that Grandmother is getting on in age, so I can bear to have her take care of me. Just come to the palace and talk to me.”
”As you wish.” Zhu Yijun said.
Wang Rong took the initiative to approach Zhu Yijun, embraced his waist, and placed her face in front of his chest, ”If only she was pregnant, then she could make His Majesty treat me this well.
”I usually treat you badly?” Zhu Yijun laughed, ”However, it's not bad to give us a few more direct descendants.”
