Chapter 164 Watching the Fun
Chapter 164 Watching the Fun
When Zhao Yurong saw him like this, she knew that she was probably talking to a cow.
But she is an experienced person and can understand her mentality very well.
When her father and mother didn't allow her to marry the Ninth Prince, she made a fuss for a while.
However, after a girl gets married, she will gradually identify her husband and slowly settle down.
She herself is a good example.
However, as an elder sister, she was very worried that her younger sister would suffer setbacks in the palace. But if she was not allowed to go through this, she might resent it for the rest of her life.
So for a moment, Zhao Yurong didn't know how to persuade her sister.
At lunch time, the mother and her two daughters were still worried about Zhao Yuzhu's entry into the palace.
In two days, Zhao Yuzhu will move to the palace to stay for a while. She will be away from home and without so many people praising her. She doesn't know if she can adapt.
The one who was most worried was Zhao's mother. "When you go to the palace, you can't be so temperamental anymore. No one will remind you or take care of you, and you will make a big mistake if you are not careful. It's better to say less than more..."
Mother Zhao kept chattering, and Zhao Yuzhu was a little impatient. "Alright, alright, mother. Yuzhu knows. I'm not a child."
Mother Zhao looked at her and smiled dotingly, "Aren't you still a child? In your mother's heart, you are just like a little girl."
Mother Zhao sighed as she ate, "If only your sister had followed the right person back then. Then she could take care of you in the palace now, and you two sisters would have someone to look after you."
When Zhao Yurong heard this, she immediately interrupted her mother, "Mom, please don't say these things nonsense. What do you mean by following the right person?"
Now she is the Fourth Prince's principal wife. If these words were to get out, it would really be a disaster.
Besides, although the Fourth Prince was a little incompetent, he was good to her.
Having lived in the circle of aristocrats in the capital for a long time, Zhao Yurong is very content compared to others.
She felt that her own man, at least, would not be like those outside, flirting with other women and causing trouble. The Gu family doted on her and respected her position as the eldest wife, which was better than anything else.
Zhao Yurong felt a little unhappy when she heard her mother say these words.
She knew that her mother favored the younger daughter because she was old. But when Zhao Yurong heard that her mother wanted the two sisters to share the same husband just to have someone to take care of them, she felt very upset.
Ever since she knew she would be staying in the palace for a while and would be able to see Emperor Yongjia every day, Zhao Yuzhu's mood has become much better. She eats half a bowl more of rice than usual and her appetite has improved.
Mother Zhao was worried about her little daughter and was still giving her advice, "You came to the palace this time under the title of the Empress Dowager, but you have no relatives or friends."
Zhao was eating while frowning in deep thought.
In fact, their family has no blood relationship with the Queen Mother Dong, let alone any relatives.
If one really wants to claim kinship, the only possible connection is the Fourth Prince.
But the Fourth Prince was not born to the Empress Dowager Dong, she was only the nominal mother.
In this way, Zhao Yurong can also be called her daughter-in-law.
The Zhao family naturally knew why the Empress Dowager recruited Zhao Yuzhu into the palace.
However, although he was grateful to the Empress Dowager Dong on the surface, it was different when they talked behind closed doors in their own room.
"The emperor was not born to the woman in the Cining Palace. There is a layer of belly and a layer of heart between them." Zhao Mou advised Zhao Yuzhu based on his own experience, "When you go to stay with her, you must be respectful and don't show your bad temper. Get familiar with her and build a good relationship with her, but don't get too familiar with her, otherwise it will be difficult to please the emperor."
The Queen Mother Dong probably would never have imagined that someone would treat and use her like this.
Zhao's mother sighed, thinking that it would be great if she could get in touch with the Empress Dowager in Yongshou Palace. After all, she was his biological mother. Although Emperor Yongjia did not grow up with the Empress Dowager, she was his biological mother after all, so he would always listen to her more.
Mother Zhao was worried that her little daughter would not be favored by the emperor because of Empress Dowager Dong if she went to the palace. However, Zhao Yuzhu did not take it seriously at all. She said as a matter of course, "Third sister, it would be great if you could say a few words to the emperor and ask him to take care of me more."
Since they are old friends, one would always give them some face. This is what Zhao Yuzhu was thinking.
After hearing this, Zhao Yurong did not speak for a while. Now, she was considered the sister-in-law of Yongjiali, and it was very strange to say such words to her husband's younger brother from this perspective.
In fact, it was because Zhao's mother and Zhao Yuzhu did not think about the problem from Zhao Yurong's perspective at all that they said such things.
-
The Empress Dowager Dong loved to meddle in other people's affairs. Every time she brought her so-called relatives to stay in the palace for a while, they were all young girls. It was Sima Zhao's intention that was known to everyone.
Two days later, Zhao Yuzhu came to the palace. Because the Empress Dowager Dong liked liveliness, concubines often went to her to pay their respects. Therefore, the arrival of a new girl caused quite a stir in the harem.
Everyone was discussing whether this time, Zhao Yuzhu would cause as much of a stir as the previous Wei Lanxin.
Although Qin Liuse was not as surprised as them, she was curious about Zhao Yuzhu's appearance, so she was particularly diligent and went to the Empress Dowager Dong's palace to pay her respects.
It is August now, the autumn season. It is cool and pleasant without the previous heat.
The Empress Dowager Dong's temper was much better than before. Seeing so many people coming to the palace, she invited everyone to play cards.
The Empress Dowager Dong naturally would not personally come down to play cards with these young people. She just set up a table and let the young people play while she sat aside and watched.
Qin Liuse sat down with Concubine Li, Liu Yiyi, and Concubine Wen and played cards around the table.
As the fighting went on, someone outside came and reported that Emperor Yongjia had arrived.
For a moment, except for the Empress Dowager Dong, everyone stood up to pay their respects to Emperor Yongjia.
Emperor Yongjia came in after drawing aside the curtain. He glanced at the scene in the room and realized that they were playing cards. He raised his hand and said, "Get up. It's a coincidence that I came here. You guys continue playing."
After Emperor Yongjia said this, the four of them took their seats and continued playing cards.
Empress Dowager Dong smiled and said, "The Emperor has come at the right time. A few days ago, a guest came to my palace. It's a good opportunity to take a look."
When Zhao Yuzhu was called, he lowered his eyes, walked out from behind the Empress Dowager Dong, and came in front of Emperor Yongjia.
After just a few steps, my face has turned as red as an apple.
"Your humble servant Yuzhu pays respects to the Emperor."
Qin Liuse thought to himself, this is another person who is very good at talking.
It was a bit rude for a little girl to call Emperor Yongjia "brother", but because of her young age and this excuse, Emperor Yongjia would certainly not delve into it.
As expected, Emperor Yongjia did not say anything. He raised his hand, motioning her to stand up, and then said calmly, "Your sister is my fourth brother's wife. I cannot bear you calling me brother."
Qin Liuse pursed her lips and wanted to laugh. She didn't expect that the Empress Dowager Dong hadn't mentioned Zhao Yurong yet, but Emperor Yongjia mentioned her first.
If the people present knew the Empress Dowager Dong's plan and knew what had happened between Zhao Yurong and Emperor Yongjia, they would definitely want to watch the fun.
But the fact that Emperor Yongjia brought it up first without any reservation made it seem like they were just there to watch the fun and were a little petty.
