Because of Imperial Consort Guo's position and because she was the Empress's trusted aide, the two of them were called to take charge of the palace. In their hearts, they were prepared for it, but they were completely surprised by their concubines and their Imperial Lower Consort Lan. They never expected that a fat person like her, who was in charge of the palace, would fall to them.
When you go to the Kunning Palace to meet with the Empress, your concubine will do whatever is necessary to flatter you.
”Being in charge of the palace wasn't a fixed rule. If you don't do it well, I will switch people. So, you must not let down your guard.” Wang Rong laughed and said that Palace Manager Cui was also present. No matter who was in charge of the palace, in reality, it was still the Palace Manager who were in charge of handling these matters. Palace Manager Cui had to remember which Empress was in charge of which aspect she was in charge of.
”Although you are in charge of the four parts of the palace affairs, I hope that you can work together in handling the daily affairs of the palace. You can also discuss with each other if there are any matters.” Wang Rong He said. With Palace Manager Cui assisting you, you can't let her escape from the four palaces by herself, it was all for nothing. With regards to foreign affairs, if you don't decide, you can go to the Ci Ning Palace and request for a leave of absence. Mother and mother might call for you guys to inquire about it.
”We will not disappoint the Empress.” The four of them said in unison.
manages the banquet and the finances of the harem. My noble concubines manage the various palaces to decorate fresh flowers and change the season to serve the palace maid. ”Many of the palace duties are trivial and interconnected, such as the setting up of the banquet requires the transfer of staff, the decoration of the flowers, and the dining room guards. So this is the reason why I ask you to be together in handling the palace duties.”
”This is the first time we've come in contact with palace servants. Our hearts are filled with fear, afraid that if we do anything wrong, we will betray the Empress's trust.” The Imperial Lower Consort Yang said, ”We can handle things together, we can discuss things, or point out flaws to each other. There's really no point in doing so.
”The noble rank and rank of the imperial concubine can hold a banquet for the sisters to have fun with. There are so many palace maid behind us, so there should be people having birthdays every month. Wang Rong He said, ”Previously, everyone was very reserved, and their birthdays were merely a birthday feast for the supervisors. Faculty Division is so idle that they are flustered, and should find something for them to do.”
”In the next few days, you guys will be handling official matters with me. When you guys get into business, I'll be the one who leaves things to my own devices.” Wang Rong said with a smile. ”If you feel that you're not strong enough, it would be good for you to find a few concubines you like to help you.”
Although it was said that they were dealing with palace affairs, they were only nodding their heads when Palace Manager Cui reported on her work in an orderly manner. The other four people were obviously not so relaxed. They all listened with rapt attention, afraid that they would miss out on any details.
”Imperial Physician Xu has prescribed a warm palace recipe, which is a gentle nourishment. You will hand it over to the kitchen later on, and every second wife will present it once a month, starting from June.” Wang Rong told Palace Manager Cui. She then said to the Imperial Lower Consort Lan, ”You also need to ask about it from time to time, to ensure that Shang Yu will not lie to you midway.”
”It's my concubine province.” The Imperial Lower Consort Lan said, ”Do you want to personally go to the dining room to ask about it?”
”No need.” Wang Rong and Imperial Lower Consort Lan acted as if they were facing a great enemy and said, ”Supervisor Shang Yu wants to play some tricks, even if you go, you won't be able to guarantee anything. Furthermore, if you go personally, you will be lowering your status. As long as you send someone to Shang Yu to check on them from time to time, and let them know that you are paying attention to them, even if it's just for show, they will still restrain themselves a little. ”
The Imperial Lower Consort Lan nodded.
After they finished dealing with the palace affairs in the morning, Wang Rong returned to the inner hall to rest for a bit. Wuyou brought some tea over, ”Empress, Beauty Wang is outside the hall to seek an audience.”
Wang Rong was a little puzzled as to why she had come at this time, but still said, ”Let her in.”
”Actually, the Beauty Wang has been here for a while. When she heard that the Empress was handling the palace affairs, she stopped us from spreading the news. She was just waiting for us in the side chamber.” Fleur said.
”After the Empress has gotten pregnant, I am very happy for the Empress. I know that the Empress is not lacking in anything, so I personally made a few pieces of Little Prince's clothes to give to her. I hope the Empress will not mind.” After Wang Zhixi explained her purpose for coming here, she became a little nervous.
Wang Rong looked at the seat, ”You don't have to be so nervous. When it's just you and me, we can still call each other sisters. You are my sister, and it's impossible to wipe you out.”
”Empress, concubine, I am extremely ashamed.” Wang Zhixi said, ”On that day, when I was reprimanded by His Majesty, I was in a very bad mood. Suddenly, I heard from my sister's side that my sister was able to go straight to the saint's ears.
”Let's not talk about the past anymore.” Wang Ronghe said, ”I have taught you a lesson, it has already become a foregone conclusion.”
”Elder sister.” Wang Zhixi looked at Wang Rong He with tears in her eyes, ”Big Sis is still as forgiving as ever, but I only realized it now when I've reached such a stage.”
”Sister, you helped me a lot, but I was willing to give up my good fortune to end up like this.” Wang Zhixi said, ”Since there are no seats, and since there is no love from the Emperor, I will muddle along in this palace.”
”I don't have any other requests now, I only hope that after Little Prince is born, elder sister can grant me permission to visit you a few more times. I am also Little Prince's aunt, look at Little Prince, and just think that I have a child myself. ” Wang Zhixi's words were extremely pitiful.
