Virtuous Ugly Empress - C179
After that, Zhu Yijun did not summon the Beauty Wang.
After the incident, Zhu Yijun did not go to the Salty Fortune Palace for two or three months, but those people who went around raiding for good fortune were not as likable as the Imperial Consort Zheng. The empress dowager was fat and thin, lively and quiet. Even her limbs were tied in front of the emperor, and she saluted him respectfully.
Of course, Imperial Consort Guo had this kind of personality as well. Before Imperial Consort Zheng, he was the one she liked the most, but she had been unhappy in front of him for the past two years. Zhu Yijun had comforted her before. Imperial Consort Guo could only smile bitterly, and said that it was perhaps because she did not have such good fortune.
Furthermore, the Imperial Consort Zheng has a beautiful face and is very considerate. Now that there’s a Little Prince, Zhu Yijun simply could not throw it away and had even summoned the Imperial Consort Zheng to serve him.
Imperial Consort Zheng didn’t know why His Majesty hadn’t summoned her after such a long time, so she could only look at her with an aggrieved expression while expressing her yearning. Zhu Yijun really didn’t know what she was doing this for? “When the rumors spread outside began to blow up, this concubine knew that His Majesty was going to misunderstand this concubine, but this concubine also had some expectations. In His Majesty’s heart, this concubine isn’t such a person who doesn’t know the importance of matters.”
“Oh, so you’re saying that the rumors outside the palace now have nothing to do with you?” Zhu Yijun asked.
Imperial Consort Zheng’s heart skipped a beat, but she quickly calmed herself down. If His Majesty knew that she was behind all of this, he would not have met her so quickly. She could only say grievingly, “Your concubine, your concubine can’t say that she was completely innocent.”
“His Majesty knows me. He knows my words, but he didn’t mean it. When he speaks in the palace, he would inevitably bring some with him.” Imperial Consort Zheng said aggrievedly, “It’s not all my palace maid, of course I can’t take care of her.”
Zhu Yijun thought, who was the one living in the Salty Fortune Palace? Imperial Noble Lady Yu, Honorable Liu, who else? Zhu Yijun couldn’t remember right away that he had summoned the Imperial Consort Zheng to forgive her, so he went along with the flow and said, “If you didn’t slip up, how would they go back to legend? “If you’re so unreliable, I won’t tell you anything in the future.”
“This concubine was wrong.” Imperial Consort Zheng said coquettishly, “Your Majesty, please forgive me.”
“Just this once, next time I won’t let you pass so easily.” Zhu Yijun said that Imperial Consort Zheng would act like a spoiled child and would usually climb up to the ground. Not long after, her small mouth seemed to have been smeared with honey, which made him extremely happy.
After that, the Imperial Noble Consort Zheng was still as pampered as ever.
Thus, the one year banquet for the third son was very grand.
After the one year old banquet, the courtier began to act jointly, inviting the emperor to stand up as the crown prince, opening the pavilion to study, Zhu Yijun held the imperial report and asked, “What is the meaning of this?”
“The foundation of the kingdom is established, and the dynasty is extended. The emperor’s eldest son is growing up. It is time to study and study, and to walk the path of a sovereign.” Shen Shixing cupped his hands and said.
“A six year old kid, calling himself a sovereign is too early.” Zhu Yijun said, “The late emperor was over ten years old and had yet to accept the teachings of a sovereign.”
“Emperor Taizu had said that he would establish himself as Emperor without a direct leader. Now that he has no children in the Middle Palace, it would be logical for him to take the Emperor’s eldest son as his first son. His Majesty will be the first son of the Emperor.” Emperor Xijue clasped his hands and said.
“How dare you!” Zhu Yijun slapped the table, “The Central Palace has no children, only temporary. The empress is still young, is this how you curse the empress and I?
Four to five cabinet ministers kneeled one after the other, “This humble subject dares not.”
Zhu Yijun threw the paper roll on the ground, “Then, this thing doesn’t dare to?”
“Your majesty, courtier naturally also wishes to have the direct son of the Middle Palace. Shen Shixing answered truthfully, “I’m afraid that before the legitimate son of the Middle Palace arrives, His Majesty will change his name to someone else. According to the annals of history, the dynasty has no loyal officials, and will lose all face.”
“Who else can I change?” Zhu Yijun said.
“Your Majesty, the eldest son of the Imperial Consort Gong’s biological father was still just an imperial concubine, but the Imperial Consort Zheng’s Empress gave birth to the third son, and was thus established as the Imperial Noble Consort. In terms of etiquette, the Imperial Consort Gong’s Empress should have ascended to the Imperial Noble Consort first.”
“The eldest son was only given a name by His Majesty when he was a few years old. Not to mention the Third Prince, even Princess Zhao Yi could not beat him at the one-year banquet. Wang said, “All of us look forward to producing children from the Middle Palace, but at the moment, the direct son of the Middle Palace is still unreal.”
“What is it? Do you want This Emperor to write you a guarantee? ” Zhu Yijun shouted in anger.
The court official said he did not dare.
Zhu Yijun and the pavilion official parted on bad terms. Zhu Yijun was a little angry, and was prepared to go to Kunning Palace to talk with Wang Rong, to dissipate his frustration for a bit. When he arrived at Kunning Palace, he left extremely quickly, and before palace maid had a chance to report him, he had already entered.
Wang Rong sat on the brick bed, Wuyou chatted with her about how the Old Granny was worried about her body.
Wang Rong He said, “It’s not like my body is really sick. Wait until I give birth to my child, then Grandmother won’t have to worry about me anymore.”
“Your Majesty!” Wu Tian brought the soup over, and when he saw the emperor standing in the booth, he immediately kneeled down and shouted.
Wang Rong turned to look at him. Zhu Yijun’s expression was terrifyingly gloomy, and Wang Rong’s heart sank. Wuyou quickly knelt down to pay her respects. Wang Rong stood up to welcome him, “Why is her majesty here?
“What does that mean?” Zhu Yijun looked at her and said.
“Nope.” Wang Rong pretended to be calm and said, “I told the little girl that my grandmother was worried, and that I had to be told that I was not sick to make her feel at ease.”
“No.” Zhu Yijun shook his head, “Men, go get Xu Duzhong.”
“Does Your Majesty think that I was pretending to be sick?” Wang Rong He said, “I pretend to be sick, but what do I want? I still haven’t given birth to a single son, and it’s not as if His Majesty is sick of me, so why would I bother coming here? ”
“Yes, why do you bother?” Zhu Yijun said.
He had no way to describe the state of mind that had never been sick when he heard that. It was as if a bucket of ice water had been gulped down from the top of his head, instantly freezing him awake. If he was willing, he could be fooled by Wang Rong, who had always been eloquent, and knew very well how to convince him.
He should have believed her explanation, either because he was distracted or because he hadn’t heard the context, so why should he hold on to it?
But when Zhu Yijun saw the look of panic in Wang Rong’s eyes, he immediately understood that the words he heard, were precisely the meaning that he had thought of.
He hated how sensitive and suspicious he was at the moment. He had always known about Wang Rong and her understanding of him, but only now did he realize that he actually understood her very well.
His hand couldn’t help but tremble, and he could only clench it tightly. The anger that sprung up in his heart was even more intense than when he first heard the news about the contamination between mother and Zhang Juzheng.
He had been looking at Wang Rong He, and suddenly felt that the person in front of him was a complete stranger. The woman he called Zitong, his Queen, his wife, the woman he trusted and trusted.
She was lying to him!
I’ve been lying to him!
Wang Rong said a few words to divert his attention, but Zhu Yijun remained silent with a gloomy face. At this point, Xu Duzhong still had not come, so Wang Rong and the others all left, sighing helplessly as they said to him, “Your majesty, what do you want to ask of Imperial Physician Xu, ask me?”
“Are you feeling well?” Zhu Yijun asked.
Wang Rong hesitated for a moment, “It’s done.”
“Why didn’t you tell me?” Zhu Yijun asked.
“Didn’t I say that there would be a bedtime afterwards?” Wang Rong He said.
“Only twice.” Zhu Yijun said, “We are asking you for your health, for you to say indistinctly that you will be fine even if you serve us once or twice, is this considered telling us?”
Initially, I wanted to personally tell you, so I asked Imperial Physician Xu to help me hide it. ” Wang Rong He said, “But just as I was about to speak to His Majesty, His Majesty left because of some other matter, and didn’t speak of it again.”
“Don’t you see how worried This Emperor is about your body?” Zhu Yijun obviously found it hard to accept this explanation, “Because your body is on tenterhooks. How many of our platoon heads are taken away from the Imperial Hospital, and what medicinal ingredients have been used to nourish the body? We all come here with all our might and yet, we have to pretend that we don’t care in the slightest in front of you, that we aren’t worried at all, that we don’t want you to feel pressured at all.
“I wanted to say it, but I didn’t have the chance.” Wang Rong He said.
Hearing that, Zhu Yijun used one hand to swing the table over, making a loud clanging sound. Wang Rong’s heart jumped, and she unconsciously placed her hand on her chest, Zhu Yijun looked at her and said, “Tell me, do we have a lot of Kunning Palace? Is there really no time for you to announce your good fortune to us? ”
“Your Majesty.” Wang Rong He shouted.
“None of that matters now.” Zhu Yijun waved his hand and looked into Wang Rong He’s eyes, “Tell us, are you really not well after you gave birth to Rong Chang?”
Wang Rong and her heartbeat thumped like a drum. When Zhu Yijun, who was so tyrannical, rushed towards her, she realized that she was not as calm as she had imagined, “Now that I said it, your majesty doesn’t believe me either, right?”
“I believe you, I want to believe you.” Zhu Yijun’s eyes reddened, but she resisted the urge, “As long as you say it, as long as you don’t lie to us.”
“It’s not good to give birth to Rong Chang.” Wang Rong He said.
“Bleeding in the chest is bad, but having headaches and weak legs is bad.” Zhu Yijun looked at her and said, “Is your body really that bad that you can’t sleep?”
Wang Rong He looked at Zhu Yijun and said slowly, “Yes.”
Zhu Yijun suddenly laughed, and laughed with a helpless and injured smile, he kept shaking his head, and no longer looked into Wang Rong He’s eyes, he did not let her see the tears in the corner of his eyes, and after a moment, threw all the things he saw on the ground, “You lied to me.”
“You’re still lying to me.”
looked at her and asked, “What do we do now?”
“Will His Majesty beat up the Empress?”
“Probably not.” Although she said that, she was not confident. The Empress told them to come out, so they couldn’t go in either. “Has the princess lost someone? You definitely can’t let the princess come over.”
Nodding his head.
When Xu Duzhong arrived, he coincidentally happened to bump into Zhu Yijun. He had to leave, or else he would not be able to resist and attack Wang Rong. If he had a blade now, he would definitely not be able to resist and kill someone.
Zhu Yijun looked at Xu Duzhong who had rushed over to kneel down and greet him, “Xu Duzhong.”
“This humble subject is here.” Xu Duzhong lowered his head.
“You wasted my trust. Scram for me, I don’t want to see you again.” Zhu Yijun said.
“This humble subject obeys the decree.” Xu Duzhong did not raise his head to ask, nor did he ask why. His Majesty didn’t want to see him because he didn’t want to see him.
After Zhu Yijun left, the palace maid immediately went to the Eastern Warm Pavilion. Wang Rong stood in the middle of the mess with her back straightened up.
She forced herself to stay calm for a while and then broke down. Wang Rong fell backwards and was supported by Nutty. She held Nutty’s hand and asked, “Did His Majesty run into Imperial Physician Xu outside?”
Sick nodded, she then told her about the conversation between Zhu Yijun and Yue Yang.
Wang Rong said powerlessly, “His Majesty has already decided me a crime. He doesn’t even want to ask.”
