When Wang Rong and returned to the palace, she got people to divide the things up and give them to the Imperial Consort Yi, as well as to Rong Chang and Zhao Yi. Rong Chang was unable to hide her powers, so when she saw the mother bringing over this strange little thing, she came over to Qixiang Palace, ”Imperial Mother, where did this little thing come from?”
”Today, your father and I will leave the palace.” Wang Rong He whispered this little secret to her.
Rong Chang had an envious look on her face, ”Ah, that's great, but why didn't the empress take me there? I want to go out and play too. ”
”This is a sneak attack, father and I are adults, you are a child and you need someone to protect you, so sneaking out is not an option.” Wang Rong He said, ”Look at you, Mother told you to go to the Gonghou Garden everyday. I know that when you're halfway there, let Mother carry you.”
”How heavy are you now?”
Rong Chang pouted her lips, and then muttered unconfidently: ”Zhao Yi, let's hug.”
”Zhao Yi is the younger sister.” Wang Rong He said, ”Besides, Zhao Yi got hugged by others when she saw you holding on to her embarrassedly. Your sister is so considerate, can't you set a good example?”
Rong Chang nodded, ”Then I won't let Nanny carry me in the future.”
Wang Rong smiled and said, ”That's more like it.”
”If you can persevere for ten days and walk for an hour by yourself everyday, after ten days, I'll let you and Zhao Yi go outside the palace to play at the princess' aunt's place, how about that?” Wang Rong suggested.
Rong Chang's eyes immediately lit up, ”Really?”
”When did the Queen Mother lie to you?” Wang Rong said with a smile.
”A promise is a promise, a promise is always a promise. A word from the Queen Mother is always the truth.” Rong Chang happily said a bunch of things before jumping off the brick bed. I'll go tell Zhao Yi the good news. ”
When Rong Chang left the palace and met Palace Manager Cui, she was holding onto a plate, and immediately retreated to pay her respects. Rong Chang waved her hand, and smiled sweetly: ”Palace Manager Cui does not need to be so courteous, quickly go in.”
Seeing her happy expression, Palace Manager Cui couldn't help but laugh. But when she saw the booklet on the plate, her heart became heavy again.
If someone were to see this expression, they would definitely be wary of him. Perhaps, there wouldn't be so many things occurring afterwards.
Wang Rong was surprised to see Palace Manager Cui enter, ”Why are you here?”
”I've just organized the palace maid's movements today. This is the register and sent it to the Empress for her to look through.” Palace Manager Cui lowered her head and said. She went up to the front and presented the book, then looked at Wang Rong who picked up the book and started flipping through it without feeling a thing.
Remembering that before Gu mama had delivered the blank booklet, she had asked her to take a pill first. This booklet had been soaked in medicine, but it was no different from any other booklet. What did you write on it before delivering it to the empress?
Palace Manager Cui was shocked, ”Epidemic disease?”
Gu mama didn't even raise her eyelids. ”It's not time sickness.”
”His Majesty and the Empress get along day and night. How can the Empress take risks with His Majesty?”
”It was just a fever. The Empress just wanted the Empress to be separated from His Majesty for a period of time. She didn't want the Empress to die.”
Palace Manager Cui anxiously looked at Wang Rong and her son. At this point, she could only hope that the Esteemed Empress Dowager did not like the empress monopolizing her position and wanted them to separate for a period of time. She did not want the empress to die.
After all, changing an empress was a troublesome task.
Wang Rong He looked very quickly, and when he finished, he saw Palace Manager Cui's anxious face and laughed: What's wrong? ”You did well.”
”This humble subject is worried that something might go wrong due to the haste of the matter.” Palace Manager Cui said.
”I'm quite at ease with what you do.” Wang Rong said, ”You've even taken all the requirements of the palace concubine to heart, but none of the palace concubines have ever come to complain about the palace maid that you've sent out. This is your credit.”
”This humble subject dares not take the credit.” Palace Manager Cui said.
”You still have to praise yourself for doing well. Otherwise, when you do things in the future, you will only talk about deceit, not good or bad.” Wang Rong smiled, then placed the booklet back on the plate and got someone to reward Palace Manager Cui.
Palace Manager Cui thanked him and then left.
Wang Rong turned her head and said to palace maid, ”Your Majesty is a bit tired today, let's have some warm up during dinner, let's have some dried fruit and yam porridge as our main dish, a pot of wolfberry mutton meat, the beef slices are thin, we can fish them out immediately after being boiled, and the chives sauce. Oh right, I'll let the chili that was sent to the kitchen, let them also prepare the sauce, the rest of the dishes will be served up as appetizers.”
”I will soak in a bath with His Majesty before coming out for dinner.” Wang Rong He said.
Perhaps it was because they were tired, the two of them were sitting on both sides of the bathtub, soaking in the hot water quietly without making any other movements.
After getting dressed, Wang Rong let Zhu Yijun lie on the Imperial Noble Consort bed, she sat on Zhu Yijun's lap and helped him loosen his bones, ”Is His Majesty comfortable?” Wang Rong asked.
”It hurts a little.” Zhu Yijun said, ”Your strength normally isn't that great.”
”Only with great effort would I be able to connect.” Wang Rong He said.
Zhu Yijun suddenly laughed, ”I thought of the theory, just like how I did it.”
Wang Rong couldn't help but look at the back of his head. ”No more pressing.”
Zhu Yijun turned around and held her hand, ”What, you even stopped halfway?”
”I only feel pain, not comfort.”
