Wang Rong replied and returned to Kunning Palace. Imperial Lower Consort Zheng came over with tea, and Wang Rong took it with a smile, ”Sit down, you can accompany me. There's someone in Kunning Palace who brings tea here.”
”The Empress really does despise me for being dull.” The Imperial Lower Consort Zheng said.
”No, I'm afraid you did too well. The palace maid should be worried that they did not do well.” Wang Rong said with a smile.
Li Gong came in and reported, ”Someone from Qianqing Palace has arrived. His Majesty's lunch is to be held until Kunning Palace, His Majesty will be here shortly.”
”You can go and arrange it.” Wang Rong He said, ”His Majesty had eaten three good dishes yesterday, so today we'll have to let the Shang Dynasty's food overseer prepare the dishes.”
”The Empress told me yesterday that there will definitely be three dishes today.” Li Gong laughed.
”I heard that those who are pregnant have bad memories, you'll have to explain it to them in the future.” Wang Rong said with a smile.
”The Empress was also concerned about His Majesty's matters, which was why she repeatedly confirmed it.” Li Gong said.
”That's right, Imperial Lower Consort Zheng is also having her meal at Kunning Palace today. Let the supervisor bring Imperial Lower Consort Zheng's lunch over to Kunning Palace as well.” Wang Rong She said that she saw the fleeting happiness in the eyes of the Imperial Lower Consort Zheng when she heard that her majesty would be coming here, but she pretended not to see it.
Li Gong agreed. What he did not mention was that the empress of the harem and below did not have any lunch, they only had breakfast, and they could order some snacks from Shang Guan in the middle, but that was still something to be reckoned with. Perhaps His Majesty's favorite concubine would not be troubled when she went to get the pastries.
”Also, go and deliver the gifts from the empress dowager's concubines personally with Wuyou. The order list is prepared and should be ready by now.” Wang Rong explained.
”This servant will do it now.” Li Gong bowed and then left.
”Imperial Lower Consort Zheng looked at Wang Rong and her. Would it affect the Empress and His Majesty's meal if I stayed? I'll just do the cooking on the side. ”
”No need.” Wang Rong smiled and said, ”Clothing is also learned, much more difficult than pouring tea.”
”Your Majesty has arrived.”
Wang Rong stood up and went to greet him. Zhu Yijun held her body which was about to bend down, ”From now on, just welcome her in the hall. Don't come out.”
”You can still walk now, but when my stomach is full and I have difficulty getting up, His Majesty still wants me to rise and welcome you?” I'll have to meet you on the couch. Wang Rong said with a smile.
”Whatever.” Zhu Yijun laughed.
Imperial Lower Consort Zheng did not come to pick her up, nor did Wang Rong take the initiative to say that Imperial Lower Consort Zheng was here. If Imperial Lower Consort Zheng wanted to have a surprise, let her play.
Wang Rong and Zhu Yijun sat on the warm brick bed, and Zhu Yijun asked her if she had felt the heat recently. But can a pregnant woman use an ice bucket? ”
”It's okay now.” Wang Rong He said. But I was afraid that July would bring me heat, and I heard that pregnant women would get heat, so I was afraid of it. ”
”In the past, when I was at Duke Yongnian Palace, I would go to the village in the countryside every summer to rest. Those with mountains and trees and water would cool down a bit faster than those at the manor.”
”Yes.” Zhu Yijun muttered to himself for a while, ”Then let's go to Ying Tai for the summer in the seventh month.”
”Do we have a garden?” Wang Rong and Qi Dao said. After all, they were both in the palace last year and hadn't gone anywhere.
”It's been a long time. I need to get someone to take a look at it.” Zhu Yijun said, ”Let's not cultivate too much for now, we can fix up a few palaces and pass this year. Since you're afraid of the heat, you'll have to do it every year. ”
”Don't build a new house.” Wang Rong He said, ”In this world, there are no more beautiful places that surpass the palace. If Ying Tai is like this, then wouldn't it be boring? ”Since it's a place to cool off, let's make it a bit more interesting.”
”Seems like you can't wait to go to the Ying Tai.” Zhu Yijun said, ”We had someone to draw up a map for you to see, but we cannot afford to waste our time.”
”I won't trouble myself.” Wang Rong smiled and said, ”Your Majesty, please help me out.”
The Imperial Lower Consort Zheng carried a cup of tea and slowly walked over. Before she could reveal her slender hands, she delicate called out to her majesty. Zhu Yijun was the first to call out to her …
He frowned and asked, ”What's the smell?”
He turned and looked at Imperial Lower Consort Zheng, frowning and asked, ”Why are you here?”
The Imperial Lower Consort Zheng placed the tea cup on the table before kneeling in front of Zhu Yijun. She looked at Zhu Yijun with her delicate and beautiful eyes, and said: ”Your Majesty, I have personally invited the Kunning Palace to serve the Empress.”
”You want her to serve you?” Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Ronghe in disbelief. No matter how she looked at it, she did not seem like the type of person who would make such a decision.
”Today isn't the first time I bid farewell to the imperial concubine after being diagnosed with pregnancy. They have already thought about it and prepared all sorts of gifts for me. Imperial Lower Consort Zheng said that she wanted to use Kunning Palace to serve me, and the other concubines also said that they wanted to use Kunning Palace to get close to me. ”
”They are all kind-hearted. It would be too heartless of me to refuse them from the door.” Wang Rong said with a smile.
”Are they kind?” Zhu Yijun asked, he sized Wang Rong He up, and did not change his clothes, ”You can't do it easily, do you still have to deal with them?”
”Your Majesty, we are all sincere to the Empress.” The Imperial Lower Consort Zheng explained. ”The Empress treats us extremely well, and we wish to repay her kindness. If His Majesty finds us rude and is unable to serve the Empress, it would be good for us to sit here and talk to the Empress to relieve our boredom.”
