It was still two days before the fifteenth day of the eighth month, and Wang Rong had returned to the palace from the Ying Tai.

All the concubines in the harem were notified in advance to welcome the empress in front of the Kunning Palace.

After hurrying into the hall, she received greetings from one of the senior concubines in the Western Warm Pavilion. After bestowing a reward, she let them leave.

”Your Majesty asks for the Empress and Princess Rong Chang to go to the Qianqing Palace to accompany your Majesty for a meal.”

Wang Rong and her servant had changed clothes, combed their hair, and changed the hairpin. ”What is His Majesty busy with these days?”

”His Majesty had accumulated many books that he had not read. He has been studying for the past few days.” Zhang Cheng laughed.

Zhu Yijun was extremely disciplined by the Empress Dowager Li at a young age, other than studying, he did not have much time to play. Compared to the Former Emperor who liked fighting crickets and liked to play, his hobbies were much more boring. As for the cultivation of alchemy that the Former Emperor s loved, it was possible that they were not even old yet. The Priests in the imperial palace had already been dealt with, so Zhu Yijun did not have any plans to go to the imperial palace to recruit any more Daoists.

Wang Rong He also thought about this issue seriously. Since His Majesty had already changed the time available for the assembly, it would be impossible to add more to the assembly. If they didn't hang out in the harem, if they spent more time and didn't deal with it properly, it would become a hidden danger.

Since Wang Rong was determined to put Zhu Yijun's time in the harem back on track, she wanted to find him a few healthy and positive hobbies.

After dressing herself again, Wang Rong brought Rong Chang to the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Yijun hugged Rong Chang between his legs, and waited for the palace maid to set up a meal. Zhu Yijun asked Wang Rong, does this year's Mid-Autumn Festival have a pleasant surprise?

Wang Rong looked at him and said, ”It's already the thirteenth of August, so we should have all prepared for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Your Majesty is asking me for a surprise now, it really is difficult for me.”

”Then there will be no surprises.” Zhu Yijun said, ”Recently, I keep feeling that my days have grown a lot, even though I've been immersed in reading for a long time, it's still early to see the sun when I raise my head.”

”It's a good thing that His Majesty likes to read, but don't take too long to do so. After a quarter of an hour passed, he stood up and stretched his muscles, looking around for moving his eyeballs.” Wang Rong He said, ”When I was young, I was easily mesmerized by books. After a long time, when I put down my books, my head would feel light and my feet would feel light. My eyes would be filled with fear.”

”Grandmother called the doctor and told me that this person often remains motionless and his body is stiff, which is not good for his health.” Wang Rong He said.

Zhu Yijun laughed, ”When I was young, when I was reading, I was not allowed to move even if I did not read for an hour. Every move I took was worth it, a two foot wide ruler to knock on my hand, three times, I couldn't see anything from the outside, the interior was itchy and painful, and it was also burning.”

Wang Rong He extended his hand and grabbed Zhu Yijun's hand, blowing at his palm, ”Your majesty is someone who carries the weight of the world, so you naturally have to bear the hardships that others cannot.”

”No one dares to hit us with the ruler today, only Zitong dotes on us.”

”When the mother was young, he used the ruler to protect his own son. It was no different from how I feel for his Majesty right now. It was all for his own good.” Wang Rong He said, ”Your majesty needs to be able to sit at a young age, but now that you have self-discipline, I can only advise you not to be too diligent and injure your body.”

The couple blended harmoniously. When Rong Chang saw father holding onto her mother's hand, she also placed his two hands on hers. ”Rong Chang, hold hands as well.”
