Ruoyun came into the palace and explained the things that happened in the businesses, ”Among the cargo ships to the south, the Empress said that she paid more attention to strange seed organisms that she had never seen before, and I let people see those that could grow one, and tried to plant them all. I heard that there were actually some that grew a few, and now that a shipment of goods has entered the capital, they said that they have fed the birds, and the birds are fine.”
”The storekeeper's mouth is shut. He didn't tell anyone.”
”Let's go to the palace and take a look. It would be great if we could get some fresh food there.” Wang Rongwei said that she paid attention to sweet potatoes and corn, with these two, ordinary people's life is better.
”Of all the ships that go out to sea, only we collect strange things. Everyone else thinks it's strange.” Ruoyun said. I heard from the people on the boat that the land on the islands to the south is quite fertile, unlike ours. If it wasn't for the fact that we were worried about the risks of the ship on the sea, we would still be banned from the sea. Normally, everyone would be sneaking around, but that would be too much of a problem.
”If it wasn't for the lack of food, this sort of trip would have cost me a lot.” Wang Rong He shook his head and said, ”It's just food. Even if it's something you can save when you're lacking, you can't say it.”
Ruoyun talked about her recent gains. When she finished with her work, it was about time for him to leave the palace.
Wang Rong He looked at her and asked, ”Don't you have anything else to tell me?”
Ruoyun trembled, and she forced out a smile, ”The Empress knows.”
”I also know that I can't keep it a secret from the Empress for the rest of my life. ”But I also have a bit of a fluke, so it's fine as long as esteemed wangfei doesn't know.”
”The Empress must be very disappointed in me.” Ruoyun asked.
”Whether you're disappointed or not, it's still your own life.” Wang Ronghe said, ”I just want to know what you think. Does aunt and cousin know? ”
”My mother doesn't know, my brother does.” Ruoyun said, ”Third Young Master always comes to find me, even a fool can tell.”
”Of course they want me to enter the manor. It's better than not knowing the reason. With my identity, being able to become the Third Young Master's concubine is already something that I can do.” Ruoyun said.
”Do you want to enter the mansion?” Wang Rong asked.
”I don't know. I've thought about it all these years, but I still don't understand.” Ruoyun said, ”I know, Third Mistress has said that I have to keep my concubine's child under her name. Once I enter the house, no matter how nice Third Young Master treats me, I will have to establish a rule in front of Young Mistress, and won't be pampered because I am a person of the Empress.”
”More importantly, I know that if I were to enter the mansion, the Empress would no longer allow me to be in charge.” Ruoyun laughed bitterly.
”Do you know why?” Wang Rong asked her after seeing that she knew.
”I was originally close with the Empress, and helped her manage things. If I were to enter the manor and manage things, everyone would know that the Empress was supporting Third Young Master in pampering his concubine to eliminate his wife.” Ruoyun said.
”Since that's the case, do you still wish to enter the mansion?” Wang Rong asked.
”My brother advised me that a woman's entire life is to marry and have children. I didn't think much of it in the past, and recently, I've often felt that it was a bit of a waste to think too highly of myself. Ruoyun smiled bitterly, ”Perhaps I can handle it well without the Third Young Master. But with the Third Young Master, I think that someone will love me dearly, and thus, I feel more inclined to do it alone.”
”You love him?” Wang Rong asked.
”It should be love.” Ruoyun laughed bitterly, ”Otherwise, even though I knew it was like a moth to a flame, I couldn't control my heart.”
”I can't be a queen mother beating a mandarin duck.” Wang Rong He said, ”Looking at Third Brother like this, my heart hurts too.”
”Go back and prepare for your marriage.” Wang Rong He said, ”I will always let you enjoy the limelight.”
Ruoyun was startled for a moment, but seeing that Wang Rong and her thousands of words were stuck in his heart, he kneeled down in front of her and kowtowed three times, ”I will never forget the Empress's care for me in this life. In the future, if I do not have the fortune to see the Empress again, I will pray for her health and safety at home.”
”Yes.” Wang Rong said, ”Wuyou, send Ruoyun out.”
Wang Rong was stunned as she looked at the empty sky. ”Are you saying that I'm too inflexible?”
”There are many wives and concubines in this world, and each one depends on their own abilities when it comes to fighting in the backyard.”
”It's just that I thought she had the Third Brother's protection and was already in an invincible position in the backyard. If I still turned towards her, Third Sister would be too pitiful, even though she was asking for it.” Wang Rong Wen said as she scratched her head, ”It's fine, since she's in Third Brother's courtyard, the two of them will give birth to sweet and sweet children, so they can't help me manage it anymore.”
”The Empress is doing everything she wants to do.” No disease.
I don't care about people who don't have anything to do with me. I only care about the few people who are close to me. Wang Rong He said. Even when it came to matters between men and women, her way of thinking was different from ordinary people. This made her feel awkward.
But soon, one day, she will assimilate with them.
When Xu Duzhong heard the news that the empress had decided to heal completely, his heart relaxed quite a bit. He waited for the emperor to ask about his esteemed body so he could tell his majesty that the Empress had already recovered.
However, His Majesty called him over. ”The first two births in Imperial Consort Zheng were not good, and I'm really afraid. She begged you with us, so you should go listen to her.”
”Your subject obeys the decree.” Xu Duzhong asked.
”But you can't let go of the Queen's vein. You have to see it for yourself.” Zhu Yijun explained.
He did not wait for His Majesty to ask if the Empress was well, and when he thought of the Empress's orders, he did not need to take the initiative to say them. He looked at His Majesty. His Majesty might never know what he had missed.
The closing and opening of the Empress.
Wang Rong went to write a letter and had her grandmother bring Third Mistress to the palace. Wang Rong asked directly, ”Are you prepared to go through with it? You're not going to change? ”
Third Mistress had always come to see the empress and queen face to face. She was not one to put on airs, especially in front of her family, so she had always thought that the empress and sister-in-law were easy to get along with. She slightly raised her eyebrows.
”I can't just watch my Third Brother suffer, there's no one by my side who knows what's good for themselves.” Wang Rong He said, ”I have a cousin who is unmarried due to me. She is beautiful and intelligent, and is well-educated. I wish to marry her to the Third Brother.”
”How can the people of the Empress just give it to the Third Young Master? The Third Young Master treats his wife so well, didn't he treat the Empress slowly?” Third Mistress did not expect Wang Rong to say this, and said while trembling.
”Yes, I want Third Brother to take her as my wife.” Wang Rong said calmly.
”An equal wife is only a merchant's business with the highest interests. The old wife of the family runs the household while the young and old. He has made another wife outside. He is kind and attentive to people's business, so who wouldn't be laughed at when he makes an equal wife?” It's the most tangible evidence that a concubine is killed. ” The Third Mistress said, ”If Empress wants someone to be her equal wife to Third Young Master, I will smash myself to death in Kunning Palace. I will let everyone see, the famous and wise Empress is still a human.”
”Bang.” Wang Rong leisurely poured a cup of tea and said, ”You behaved inappropriately in front of me, bumping into the empress and scaring her to death. Not only did you die in vain, your family will also suffer.”
Third Mistress looked at Lady Cui helplessly. Lady Cui's heart was thumping, she was just about to pinch the handkerchief and open her mouth, when Wang Rong looked at him and said, ”Mother, could it be that you have seen a lot of little sisters at Kunning Palace?” Don't take my courtesy for granted. If I don't let you see me, you can forget about meeting your daughter.
The Lady Cui thought more deeply about it. After all, Xi'er was in the palace, and it wasn't that the Queen wanted her to live, it was just that the Queen wanted her to die.
Lady Cui's face turned pale and she stopped talking at once. She also turned her head away from Third Mistress.
Third Mistress felt that there was no hope, so she kneeled down towards Wang Rong, ”Empress, I know I was wrong. I will definitely get along well with Third Young Master when I return to my residence this time.”
”Empress, it's not that I'm unvirtuous, but if I don't concubine Third Young Master, I have prepared a lot of things for him that he doesn't like. I don't know what kind of things Third Young Master likes, but I will definitely ask and I will definitely continue to look for them. I will definitely find something satisfactory for Third Young Master. ” ”The Third Mistress pleaded. ”Empress, for the sake of being both women, pity me. The Empress has personally pointed out that an equal wife should enter the palace. Where can I find a place for her?”
