Virtuous Ugly Empress

Even if my grandmother entered the palace, she would still only be in the royal family, so it wouldn't be good for me to stay and ask about it. In November, Wang Rong and I summoned the people from the Duke Yongnian Palace to enter the palace.

This time, only the Old Granny and Lady Cui entered the palace. Wang Rong then called Wang Zhixi over, and warmly said to the Lady Cui, "Sister misses mother, mother will go to the cubicle to talk to sister about this."

Lady Cui and Beauty Wang hurriedly expressed their gratitude.

Wang Rong He sat down next to the old lady and took her hand. "Grandmother, have you been well?"

"I'm fine. Has the Empress come?" the old lady asked.

"I'm fine too." Wang Rong He said.

The old lady looked at Wang Rong He. "But I still think that the Empress used to look good when her face was round."

Wang Rong smiled and said, "I don't intend to eat too little these days."

"That's good." The old lady said, "The most important thing about health is that they are all fat and skinny. Each of them has their own good looks."

"Empress, I heard that Imperial Lower Consort Lan is pregnant." the old lady said.

"Yeah." Wang Rong He said. In my heart, I heaved a sigh of relief. It has been a long time since I've had a child, and this is only the empress's dereliction of duty. I am now looking forward to the child's safe landing. "

"The Empress isn't worried about the matter of the child?" the old lady asked.

"I'm the empress. Even if I don't have children, all the emperors in the palace will have to call me mother. I'm not in a hurry." Wang Ronghe said, "Children are meant to be fated. To tell you the truth, I'm not ready to be my mother yet. "

"This is the first time that anyone has ever become a mother, and they're all still confused. How could they possibly have any preparations?" The Old Granny laughed and said, "Ever since the Empress entered the palace, I have been reciting scriptures every day and night. I hope that the Empress will be satisfied with everything in the palace and that she can give birth to her royal son as soon as possible. When news of Imperial Lower Consort Lan being pregnant arrived, I was not only happy for the Empress, but also worried for her. "

"As a matriarch, dealing with the problem of a concubine is only a basic matter. Treating the child of a concubine is the true torment." "Thank you," the old lady said. The Empress is kind and magnanimous. I'm not worried that the Empress will treat them badly, I'm afraid that the Empress will treat them too well. The son of the Tian Clan, is fighting for something different, I'm worried for the Empress. "

Wang Rong looked at her grandmother's worried expression and felt her heart warm. "Only Grandmother is left. In this harem without a single child, I'm just worried about my future."

"There is a direct line of descent, but no direct line of descent." Wang Rong He said, "This is the only way I can love them. The princess needs to be pampered, so as for the remaining princes, just let them be happy."

"The Empress will give birth to her son." The old lady said solemnly.

Wang Rong smiled, but didn't say anything else. Otherwise, her grandmother would have been worried.

"How's the beauty now?" Grandmother asked.

"The Imperial Lower Consort Lan is right there in the Jingyang Palace, and currently, only the Imperial Lower Consort Lan and Little Sister live there. Because the Emperor has a dragon son, he has to go visit the Imperial Lower Consort Lan in the Jingyang Palace, and Little Sister will also get lucky sometimes." Wang Rong He said.

"This is from your second brother. He specifically said that others can borrow it, but they must give you his travel notes." "He went to Yu Yao's old home first and swept your mother's grave. Your second sister was very considerate and even drew pictures of the house, but your father put them up in his study. Otherwise, he could have brought them in for the Empress to see."

Wang Rong He took it from her and said, "This year's family celebrations are few and far between. Grandmother and father, we must definitely have a happy and happy life."

"I will." "That's what my grandmother said." In the palace, even the Empress has to be happy. "

Before she spoke, she carefully looked at her surroundings. Wang Rong and the genuine honest person, since she could make Lady Cui talk to Wang Zhixi, she would not let others see that she was unhappy.

"Good daughter, quickly tell me, are you doing well in the palace?" Without a son, Wang Zhixi, who possessed both beauty and talent, was her lifeblood. Now that she was in the palace and could not be touched, how could she not worry about him?

"Mom, you have to hold on." Wang Zhixi choked on her throat as she used the handkerchief to press at the corner of Lady Cui's eyes, "The empress showing us mother and daughter is such a great favor, if mother were to see any scars on her face, I'm afraid someone would use it as an excuse."

"Pity my son, you must have suffered, seeing the look in her eyes beneath her." The Lady Cui said.

"It's not hard." Wang Zhixi laughed miserably, "Elder sister has never placed me in her eyes. In the past, I didn't do it at home, but now that she is the noble empress, she definitely doesn't have one."

"She won't cause me any trouble because she disdains it." Wang Zhixi said.

"Does His Majesty like you?" The Lady Cui said, "The empress isn't the end. If you get the favor of the emperor, you can get fifty percent of the reward from the empress. If you give birth to a prince but she doesn't give birth to a child, then you will have even more expectations for the future."

The Lady Cui said, "Mother burns incense at home every day to worship Buddha, and hopes that you give birth to your son soon. I beg the heavens, she is a hen that cannot lay an egg."

"Mother." Wang Zhixi held tightly onto Lady Cui's hand, "Mother, even though I have the chance to serve Your Majesty a few times a month, but, but." Wang Zhixi found it hard to say anything, but she was a little suspicious that if she did not ask for help from her mother, who else could she ask?

"What's wrong, tell me." The Lady Cui panicked, his voice becoming louder, and then realizing something, she looked around, lowered his voice and urged.

"But after His Majesty left, he would always send someone to deliver a bowl of Avoidance Soup." Wang Zhixi said with a pale face.

"Ah!" Lady Cui was shocked, "How can this be?"

"I have thought of many reasons. The only one that could be true is that His Majesty does not want me to have children before my sister." Wang Zhixi said, "No matter how much Your Majesty pampers me, I won't get a high position even if it's because my sister is the empress."

"Is there no way at all?" Lady Cui said with a pale face, if she couldn't have children, what future did she have?

"It won't always be like this." Wang Zhixi said, "If elder sister is not pregnant at all, maybe she will lend me her child. After all, they are of the same bloodline, and giving birth to a prince is also a guarantee for the clan's prosperity."

"But I don't know if the soup will affect my body. If I drink too much, I won't be able to have children." Wang Zhixi said, "Mother, you need to help me ask around, and ask around secretly. Don't let anyone know."

"Alright." Lady Cui nodded and said. I'll definitely ask around and find a way to help you take care of your body. "

"My son, you've suffered." Lady Cui still felt sad when she thought about it.

"Now that you're in the palace, nothing you say is of any use. You can only keep climbing up and not feel wronged." Wang Zhixi said.

After sending off the Old Granny and Lady Cui, Yun Chang served the tea to Wang Rong, "Empress, you're really not curious, what did the Duke Yongnian's Madam say to the Beauty Wang?"

Wang Rong He shook his head.

Yun Shuang said in a strange tone, "The Empress and Beauty Wang are sisters, and although they don't seem very close, the Empress is also very kind to the Beauty Wang."

"Even if you didn't hear what the mother and daughter said, I can still guess. Does Your Majesty like you or not? You have to hurry up and give birth to the Dragon King. Did the Queen make things difficult for you? What method can you use to increase your pregnancy?" Wang Rongzhi casually replied, "It's only these kinds of words. Don't tell me that I've arranged for some people to listen to such trash talk in order to make me feel even more displeased."

"The Empress is really not inconsiderate in any way towards the Beauty Wang." Yun Chang was surprised. A lowly concubine like the beauty will never be able to see her kin even when she dies. Although it's just convenient for the Beauty Wang to be able to see her relatives every month, no one will say anything if the Empress does not call the Beauty Wang over. "

"You've taken advantage of the Empress's good fortune, and yet you still say such words. Truly an ungrateful son of a bitch."

"Actually, they are very pitiful." Wang Ronghe said, "Being resentful is a matter of unwillingness on the part of the heart. It's a pity that they can't blame my mother for dying a long time ago, and they can't blame my father as well. Beauty Wang doesn't even have a choice. Perhaps she hasn't even opened her mouth to speak, and is only listening to my every word. How could she, who has grown up like this, feel grateful towards me? "

"Then why is the Empress treating her so well?" Yun Chang said.

"It's not like it's a big deal. Don't tell me that we're going to break up now?" Wang Ronghe said, "Why, we are all decent people. Moreover, Father would not be happy to see us sisters go against our goals. "

Compared to having a bad sisterly relationship becoming an entertainment for other people, the little Lady Cui and Wang Zhixi was even simpler. They didn't like her, nor did they think that they could kill her.

At the end of the year, the filial piety of the manor had to be brought in, Wang Rong and Li Gong were called over, "When does the future prospects of the empress dowager's estate usually arrive at the palace?"

"There are no rules." Li Gong said, "By the end of the year, you can send them in anytime. "In the past, the empress's imperial manor was bestowed by the emperor. Other than the symbolized fruits, vegetables and five foodstuffs, everything else would be converted into silver."

"Oh, my Royal Manor is different. There's always a lot of benefits." Wang Rong He said, "There is someone else taking care of my imperial manor. How about this, you take my letter to find him and discuss it. Before you get too busy, send your things in."

"Yes." Li Gong said, his heart was filled with excitement. The empress was willing to let him meddle in the Empress' Imperial Manor, it was obvious that he had already passed the Queen's test and was now the Queen's trusted aide.

"Right, the account book of the Royal Manor is handled by a woman. If she's willing, she should follow the person who brought the items to the palace." Wang Rong He said.

"Yes." Li Gong said that he was currently in a heroic mood and wished that he could immediately settle everything properly so that the empress could see and believe that he was not in the wrong.

Zhu Yijun wrote a piece of paper that he had not seen for a few days, as if it was an autumn note that had been delivered to the Kunning Palace. Wang Rong smiled, but had no choice but to reply.

Those who said they didn't want to part with her that day had instead eaten at the Jingyang Palace, and after that, they hadn't come to the Kunning Palace for a few days. On the contrary, they would be giving out dishes everyday, and whenever they thought of something good, they would send it continuously to the Kunning Palace. Wang Rong He wanted to say that she didn't care, but she also didn't really want to see His Majesty, so she let him do as he pleased without giving her the ladder.

It had been a few days since he last saw it.

But Wang Rong and the pen writing time to the end of the year, all things busy. Someone had to send it over. It meant that I was very busy, so His Majesty didn't want to cause me any trouble.

Zhu Yijun looked at the note, "Is the Queen still angry?"

"Your Majesty, empress is not such a petty person." Zhang Cheng said. "It's really busy."

"Call Li Gong over here." Zhu Yijun said.

"Your Majesty, Li Gong was sent to the Imperial Manor by the empress." Zhang Cheng said.

"Does the Queen not know that Li Gong is one of ours?" Zhu Yijun asked curiously.

"Li Gong left from the Qianqing Palace. Everyone should know that he is one of His Majesty's men." Zhang Cheng said.

"Then the empress had even asked Li Gong to go to her imperial manor. Is the empress planning to let us have a look at her private property?" Zhu Yijun said.

"The Empress is magnanimous, and there is nothing that cannot be told to His Majesty." Zhang Cheng said.

"That's called Solstice." Zhu Yijun said. Li Gong had set it up intentionally, but he had set it up right from the beginning. When Dong Zhi was at the Kunning Palace, he would do things without saying much. She was the emperor's person, and did not wish to become the Empress's trusted aide. She would only tell her majesty what she had seen when the emperor summoned her.

She did not wait for him in the vicinity. There were some private words that she did not know about, but she could judge from the actions of the palace maid that there was a need to eavesdrop on them. Wang Rong's personality had been known for months. Unless it was something that involved life or death, she didn't need to eavesdrop on him for the rest of the time.

Dong Zhi mentioned that on the day that His Majesty had eaten at the Jingyang Palace, empress had waited until after the hour had passed before eating. As for the other days, he had to pay respects to them, take care of the palace matters, call on his family, and let the Duke Yongnian and Madam Duke Yongnian speak for a while. It had been cold recently, so he didn't paint much, but he still had to practice for an hour every day. The people from Faculty Division were preparing for the end of the year banquet performance, so they called for the cold road, and the empress stopped them. However, palace maid sings and dances for the Empress.

The Empress liked to use pots and pans, so she had to have a fire full of charcoal. All the fire had to be put on, and the Imperial Physician Xu had to lower the quantity of gunpowder. The Empress did not eat any of the food, but instead ordered some of the herbs used to cool the fire down the fire for tea. The Empress had recently dedicated her needlework to Her Majesty in preparation for the new year, and often sighed.

"Queen embroidery is not good enough?" Zhu Yijun asked.

"It's not that the embroidery work is not good. The Empress always wants to be the best, so she can't help but be harsh on herself." Winter Solstice said.

When the snow fell, the Empress would love to eat ice bowls. She needed to eat until her intestines froze to the point of letting out a breath of cold air. The Empress had someone make twelve snowmen in the corridor. She went to evaluate them, and made the best gold hairpins. Next were the silver hairpins, and then the wooden hairpins, three at a time.

"She has led a interesting life and doesn't think of me at all. She even says that she's busy. Busy playing. " Zhu Yijun said.

After a moment of silence, Dong Zhi finally said, "Your Majesty, although the Empress likes ice bowls, she does not like cold vegetables. Every time Your Majesty gives a dish to the Kunning Palace, it's already half cold. There were several times when the Empress did not eat well, and always called for food in advance. By the time His Majesty sent some food over, the Empress was already full. "

"Did the empress eat all of my dishes?" Zhu Yijun asked, he could not help but be angry, it was an honor to be bestowed food by the Son of Heaven, Empress, she was looking down on him.

"The Empress has eaten them all." "But the Empress doesn't like it."
