When they arrived at Qianqing Palace, sure enough, His Majesty and Rong Chang had already eaten lunch. Rong Chang was carried away to have an afternoon nap and Zhu Yijun was waiting for her, ”What did mother look for you for?”
”Nothing.” Wang Rong He said.
”Lies.” Zhu Yijun said, ”Go and pay respects to the two empress dowager everyday, but you will be back soon after. If you return one day and visit Ci'an Palace again, it will definitely be mother who will be looking for you.”
”Your Majesty is quite clear about my whereabouts.” Wang Rong said with a smile.
palace maid gave her some hot water to wash her hands, and after receiving her instructions, she placed the table before her. Without further ado, she picked out three dishes and a bowl of stir-fried vegetables, serving them to her.
”How can I just eat these few?” Zhu Yijun asked as he looked unhappily.
”palace maid knows what I like to eat, but she didn't bring the rest in. I'm eating alone, it would be troublesome if I just brought them out.” Wang Rong She said, ”Your Majesty wants to eat with me?”
”I don't need it.” Zhu Yijun shook his head and said, ”Rong Chang wants to eat anything, and doesn't like eating a mouthful. He insisted on eating it from the beginning, and after he said that I would not waste it, I had to finish everything that was in the bowl, so in the end, we just ate our fill.”
”Then, isn't that Her Majesty letting her off the hook?” Wang Rong smiled and said, ”If your stomach feels too full, then you should eat some Ingurgitation Pills.”
Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Rong and ate, and when he had finished drinking and rinsed his mouth, he asked again, ”What did mother find you for?”
”Does your majesty not know what the mother is looking for me to say?” Wang Rong and looked at her.
”I wanted you to advise me to go to the imperial court. Just say your daily routine, why do you need to call me back to discuss it?” Zhu Yijun asked, ”Are you going to say it yourself, or should we investigate it?”
”Nothing major.” Wang Rong He said, ”mother asked Rong Chang why she went in and out of the Qianqing Palace everyday, and said that the Qianqing Palace is an important place to our country, so it is not appropriate for Rong Chang to go in and out of the Qianqing Palace.”
”Qianqing Palace is our palace, we can do whatever we want, whoever we want will not come, what does that have to do with other people?” Zhu Yijun said. Suddenly, he frowned, ”mother wouldn't suddenly be concerned about such a small matter. It must be someone who spoke nonsense in front of her and wanted her to use this opportunity to beat you up.”
”What kind of beating.” Wang Rong said, ”In the entire palace, there are only three emperors, of which Rong Chang is the most favored. But when there are more emperors in the palace, her majesty would have to dote on Rong Chang like this too.”
”Needless to say, my heart.” Zhu Yijun said. He only turned around and told Zhang Cheng to go ask. During the day, other than the empress, only the Imperial Consort Gong had been to Ci'an Palace.
Zhu Yijun sneered, ”What kind of thing is it that you dare to be envious of Rong Chang's Holy Pet?”
He pondered for a moment. ”If I tell Eldest Prince not to come tomorrow, Rong Chang will be enlightened by the empress and Zhao Yi will also be enlightened by the Imperial Consort Yi, then let Eldest Prince return to the Jingyang Palace and enlighten himself by the Imperial Consort Gong.”
Imperial Consort Gong didn't believe it when she heard the news. Imperial Consort Yi was a talented woman not only in the harem, but also in the empress, not to mention that Rong Chang was not the empress at all, but his Majesty himself. She was only born in the palace maid, and had no talent in her womb.
”Eunuch, do you know why His Majesty suddenly changed his mind?” Imperial Consort Gong trembled as she asked. Just a few days ago, she thought that Luo'er had finally entered the eyes of the Emperor.
”His Majesty felt that the time spent by the Imperial Consort Gong at the Peace Palace was the best time to teach the Prince.” Your Majesty felt that the time spent by the Imperial Consort Gong at the Peace Palace was the best time to educate the Prince. With that, the eunuch left. He did not want the bets that the Imperial Consort Gong sent him.
Imperial Consort Gong's entire body was trembling, she supported her in shock, ”Empress, what happened to you?”
Imperial Consort Gong clenched her teeth. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Empress is your woman, am I not?
The empress is the only person in the palace, isn't everyone else?
Only Rong Chang is your daughter, so is Luo'er not your son? Can you even pass your throne down to your daughter?
I only grumbled a few times. The empress didn't even lose a bit of oil, yet you're so distressed that you want to vent your anger on her to punish me. It's fine if you punish me, but why must you punish Luo'er? He can attend Qianqing Palace school everyday, he's so happy. Your Majesty, can't you tell?
”Empress.” The palace maid said worriedly.
”I'm fine.” Her face was pale, but her eyes were sharp and bright. ”Back then, the empress dowager was only born in the palace maid, so if she could teach His Majesty, how could I not?”
Empress Dowager Li very quickly heard the news that Eldest Prince was chased back to be enlightened by Imperial Consort Gong, she only felt that her majesty's action was to slap her face. Empress Dowager Li had self-consciously not said a single heavy word to Wang Rong, but in exchange for such a result.
He also wouldn't allow Wang Rongwen to come and pay his respects.
However, Wang Rong He still came daily to Zhe An Palace to pay his respects and only made a turn outside the hall before returning. The Empress Dowager Li deeply hated her for doing such a thing, but she was powerless.
Because she also wanted face.
If the empress was not allowed to enter the Palace of Peace, she might not be able to settle things afterwards.
It was clear that mother didn't want to see her at this time, but she couldn't just not go because she didn't want to. As a daughter-in-law, if she didn't mention it, then she would be speechless in the future.
Since it was just a matter of a few steps, Wang Rongwei would rather take his place in advance than be affected later on.
Imperial Consort Zheng did not participate in this, as the child had not yet landed on the ground. It was still too early to say that, but Imperial Consort Zheng was very disdainful, so her child was naturally more useless than Eldest Prince.
Imperial Consort Zheng was very confident that her child would be blessed with a saint pet. She was only worried about one thing, that was, if she was pregnant, she wouldn't be able to sleep with them.
While calling the emperor to act like a spoiled brat and have him stay behind, the Imperial Noble Lady Yu will have the chance to receive the favor, and at the same time, will spare no effort to attack the Imperial Noble Lady Yu.
After Zhou Yuting went through a lot of ups and downs, her heart had long ago become extraordinary. This was the reason why she came to the Imperial Consort Zheng to seek refuge.
She returned to the imperial harem for only two reasons. One was to obtain the favor of the emperor, and the second was to make her feel the pain she had suffered in the Clothes Washing Bureau all those years ago.
If not for Imperial Consort Guo, she might have been the Empress back then.
