”His Majesty is a nine or five year old one. It's not strange that the Empress likes him.” No disease.
”If I liked him because of his identity, I wouldn't be so conflicted.” She sighed. ”His Majesty treats me quite well.”
”The Empress does not need to go from one horn to the other.” She said, ”Right now, there is nothing that can make the Empress worry. Does Empress want to summon Miss Ruoyun to ask about the affairs of the businesses outside. The Empress once said, other than love, there are many other interesting things in the world.”
”It would be boring for a woman to spend her life thinking about love.” ”You see, I remember everything you say.”
”Right, then did you specially say it at this time so that I would feel embarrassed?” Wang Rong made a face. ”Love, ah. I don't get it. I won't do it anymore.”
Since Imperial Consort Zheng was pregnant this time, Her Majesty did not push for the promotion, but only gave her a lot of rewards. He was also worried that Imperial Consort Zheng would not be able to take this bit of good fortune because of the kindness he had given her, so she decided to wait for the child to be safely born before raising her position.
Wang Rong and Ruoyun were called into the palace, but she, Third Brother, was the first to pass a message, wanting to see her.
Wang Rong He saw his own Third Brother at Gonghou Garden, so he was majestically dressed in full dress. After he bowed to Wang Rong, he stood at the side and did not speak for a while.
Wang Rong ordered others to wait outside the pavilion while looking at her Third Brother, ”Is there anything else you can't tell me about the difficulties? Isn't it just the two of us who are closest to each other? ”
Since Wang Rong had asked Wang Yaliang to sit, he did not sit either.
”There is one thing that is difficult for me to say.” Wang Yaliang said.
”Since you're standing here, aren't you prepared to tell me?” Wang Rong He said.
”This has something to do with you.” Wang Yaliang said.
”Then you don't need to worry. I can't possibly be angry at you.” Wang Rong He said.
”You want to summon Ruoyun into the palace.” Wang Yaliang said, ”Although she is willing to confess, I can't let her, a woman, take the lead.”
Wang Rong He's expression froze, ”You and Ruoyun?”
”Yes. We've met a few times in the past few years and both of us have a good impression of each other. ” Wang Yaliang said.
”No wonder I said why she didn't marry for such a long time.” Wang Rong was stunned.
”I can't let her be a concubine.”
Even when she chatted with others about how she despised her first-rate concubine, she always felt that being humble with others was a waste of herself. How could she let her be a concubine, even if it was her own brother's concubine?
If she wanted to.
That made things even more awkward. She thought that she was a close friend, but her actions betrayed her thoughts. She then thought of other things, so how could she still trust her like before?
”I won't let her be my concubine, and she isn't willing to be.” Wang Yaliang said, ”I told Grandmother that I wanted to divorce her, but Grandmother said that I can't. At most, I can only divorce her in.”
”Have you talked about the matter of a wife with Ruoyun? What does she think? ” Wang Rong He said. Being a concubine and being an even wife, the latter would naturally be treated well, but the harm done to the wife would be multiplied. She felt that when wives competed, why did a woman make things difficult for women? Could it be that she was better off than a wife, then she could become a concubine? That was because she was the one who made things difficult for others, not herself.
”I haven't told her.” Wang Yaliang said, ”When she is together with me, she is only 30% happy. The remaining 70% is out of self-loathing, and sometimes she would tell me that she hated me for not marrying her, but then she would also know that even if I did not marry her, I would not be able to marry her.
”She used to blame me for teasing her. She didn't see me very often when I went to see her.
”I made her so miserable.” Wang Yaliang said. Since I offended her, I can't let her suffer so much for the rest of her life. ”
”Maybe it's because of me.” Wang Rong said, ”She has been on good terms with me since she was a child, so we have the same opinion on many matters. Since I put down all opinions to ask her to be my steward, she is not afraid of rumors, so she stubbornly follows behind me. She does everything that's been entrusted to her and does it well for me.”
”If she didn't have this relationship with me, perhaps she would have long since followed you into the manor.”
”With her intelligence and ability, I'm afraid that Third Sister-in-Law will be fine by now.” Wang Rong He said.
”You still feel sorry for that woman?” Wang Yaliang raised his voice slightly. You still feel sorry for her? You don't know what she did to me? ”
”She hurt you.” Wang Ronghe said, ”But she is your proper wife, and if you want to show her kindness now, she will not be able to do anything about it. I am also the official wife. I cannot be the only one who has a good wife. If it is someone else's turn, then the concubine will be the best, the concubine will be the best. ”Then who am I?”
”You don't understand what she did to me.” Wang Yaliang's tone even changed, ”You know, sometimes I even feel that I'm still a man? Where did I do badly? I was despised like this. ”You care that she's your wife, but why don't you care that your brother is your wife? She doesn't treat you as a human being at all.”
Wang Rong He silently shed tears.
After Wang Yaliang finished venting, he saw that she was both crying and helpless, ”Don't cry, I didn't cry to get on your good side.”
”If not for Ruoyun, I would probably have passed by like this. After a few years, I won't be in the mood to be stubborn anymore.” Wang Yaliang said, ”But when I see her, I can't help but want to go see her. Even if she doesn't see me, or if she was looking at me secretly, I feel really good about myself.”
”I didn't go to the fireworks area after that.” Wang Yaliang said.
”I know your suffering.” Wang Rong He said, ”If Ruoyun is also willing, then let her decide what she wants, and it'll help, I won't interfere.”
