The next day, Jiankang Palace, the queen's bedroom.
It was just dawn, and there was no sound in the main hall. Only people were coming and going in the small square in front of the hall. The maids and eunuchs were busy preparing for the new day.
A man stood near the verandah under the eaves, hands folded, looking anxiously.
The palace door was closed, and there wasn't much movement inside.
The man is very anxious, why don't you come out alone?
He thought dissatisfied.
The little maids who passed by also looked at him from time to time.
After waiting for another moment, the palace door finally opened a crack, and the man immediately became excited.
Finally out!
It’s really not easy!
He jumped up the steps and straightened his clothes.
As soon as the palace door opened, the man's heart suddenly went cold.
“Wang Danyang, you came too early, the Queen hasn’t finished dressing yet!”
Wang Gong was a little frustrated when he saw that the person who came out was He Xiang. But it was normal to think about it. Even if Wang Zhenying had gotten up, she would not come out to greet the guests in person.
“Ms. Hexiang, I have something important to see you, please let me know.”
Wang Gong was arrogant, but he still had a very good attitude towards people who did not celebrate the festival. He Xiang was the closest maid to Wang Zhenying, so she naturally received special treatment from the Queen's eldest brother.
The palace door was completely opened, and behind He Xiang, a line of little palace maids came out in a line, carrying basins, small plates and other items in their hands.
Watching them leave, He Xiang turned to Wang Gong and said, "The Queen has already expected that Danyang Yin will come early in the morning." He Xiang smiled slightly, thinking of Wang Gong walking around outside the palace gate.
, anxious like an ant on a hot pot, I find it interesting.
“Actually, the empress had already gotten up. When she saw Danyang Yin standing outside the door, she wanted you to wait a little longer.”
“Please come in with me.”
Wang Gong followed He Xiang, his anger rising.
My sister actually made her eldest brother wait outside the palace for so long in vain. How can I live like this?
Wang Zhenying was sitting at the table. There were only a few porridge and side dishes on the table. For breakfast, there were almost no expensive ingredients, and the meal was quite light.
Wang Gong stepped forward, and Zhenying immediately smiled.
“Brother, you’ve been waiting for a long time. Sit down quickly and have something to eat with your sister.”
Zhenying's enthusiasm made Wang Gong's depression disappear immediately.
“Sister, why are you dressed so plainly again? The dress you wore yesterday was so nice, luxurious and bright.”
Not to mention, Wang Gong was really a little hungry after standing there for a long time.
According to the regulations of the Jin Dynasty, today was originally the day to go to court. However, the regulations of the Jin Dynasty have always been changing and there is no guarantee.
The people of Lao Sima's family have always been lenient to themselves and others.
Yesterday we celebrated Zhang Guiren’s birthday and everyone drank a lot. Sima Yao made some calculations and realized that it was really inhumane to ask the ministers to come to court on such a hangover day.
Sima Yao asked everyone to take a vacation together without anyone else asking for an order.
Wang Gong then had time to run to his sister's palace early in the morning to wait. He drank a few mouthfuls of porridge and suddenly felt his stomach was full.
After a good night’s sleep, Queen Wang also felt much more comfortable.
“Brother, that’s Zhai Yi. I wore it especially for the banquet. How could your sister and I wear it like that on weekdays? It’s too fancy!”
Wang Gong smiled and said, "I know you barely managed to get out and can't hold on for a few days."
Wang Gong is very familiar with his sister's cold temperament.
But just because he understood her, Wang Gong became even more strange when he thought of her behavior yesterday.
“Sister, why did you do that at the banquet yesterday?”
“It’s not that I want to find fault with you, brother, but what you did yesterday was really unseemly and made Zhang Guiren laugh.”
The Queen smiled and didn't take it seriously at all, and she wasn't anxious at all.
“Zhang Guiren?”
“She still dares to laugh at me, brother, what stupid words are you talking about!”
“I dare say that with all the fuss yesterday, Zhang Guiren will not feel at ease in the past few days.”
Zhenying chuckled and said, "Do you think I don't know why she invited me to the birthday banquet?"
“She just wants to show off how favored she is and how pitiful I am, just to show off in front of me.”
Wang Gong was speechless.
“So you know everything!”
“Then you still have to go!”
From Wang Gong's point of view, although he also advised Wang Zhenying to attend the birthday banquet, his purpose was clearly to let her take this opportunity to get closer to Sima Yao.
Where was she asked to go to the banquet and drink a lot of wine?
Zhenying picked up a few side dishes and chewed them vigorously.
“Brother, I know exactly what you think, but everyone has different ways of doing things.”
“I have thought about the matter you raised last time. As a member of the royal family, I have been in the palace for many years, but I really haven’t been able to do anything for my family. Thinking about it this way, I feel quite guilty.”
"However, it is impossible for me to please Your Majesty. This is not in line with my temper at all. Even if I do it reluctantly, the effect will definitely not be good."
The more Wang Gong listened, the more helpless he became. Isn’t this a lot of nonsense?
“So, after all is said and done, sister, you are still unwilling to get close to His Majesty?” Although Wang Gong tried hard to suppress his temper, his tone was still full of displeasure.
Wang Zhenying smiled slightly, but she didn’t mind.
She had actually prepared for what she did yesterday, and Wang Gong would not support it.
Since she is ready to talk openly today, she won't care about this little verbal thing.
“Brother, as close as you can get to Your Majesty, I can only say that just like yesterday, attending the banquet and dealing with Your Majesty in the presence of Mr. Zhang, this is what I can do.”
“I really can’t do other things.”
Wang Gong's heart skipped a beat, it was over, all the money was wasted.
He smiled awkwardly: "If I really can't do it, sister, I have no choice but to forget it."
Forget it, what else can be done?
She is the woman in the palace, and Wang Gong cannot change himself into a daughter.
Eh!
Every time he thinks of this, Wang Gong becomes extremely sad.
If he were a woman, Zhang Guiren and Li Guiren would not have the right to show off their power!
“Brother, are you sad?” Zhenying asked with a smile on her face.
“No, don’t worry about it.”
“You still said no, and I didn’t say I wouldn’t help. Look at you, you’re a little too impatient.”
“Brother, let me ask you, what exactly do you want me to achieve by getting close to His Majesty and seducing His Majesty?”
Wang Zhenying’s sudden seriousness made Wang Gong startled.
"what do you mean?"
“Why do you ask that?” Wang Gong was a little nervous.
Wang Zhenying is very sorry that there is no tacit understanding between brother and sister. At this point, do we still need to ask questions?
When they had finished eating, the maids came up to clear away the dishes and then wisely retreated outside the main hall.
After they all left, Wang Zhenying spread her hands and began to tell the truth.
“Brother, your purpose is nothing more than to control His Majesty through me, isn’t it?”
“The Queen!”
“Be careful what you say!”
What are these words!
What a presumptuous act! If someone hears this, what will happen?
