As Rong Yun spoke, she seemed genuinely worried, a hint of sorrow appearing between her brows. She looked like a loving mother who cared deeply for her son.
The Jiang aunt and niece exchanged a glance, knowing that their opportunity had arrived and they had to seize it to make a name for themselves.
Jiang Wuyou spoke first, adopting the demeanor of a shy yet bold young girl.
"Your Majesty, if you do not find me clumsy and rough, I am willing to serve you and His Majesty for the rest of my life, as a slave or maid. I am willing to do anything."
As she finished speaking, a faint blush rose to her cheeks, and her eyes darted left and right, looking unsteady, displaying an expression of unbearable shyness.
“A girl can’t be kept alive forever, Your Majesty. We elders know what Wuyou is thinking. She has long harbored feelings for the Emperor when he was still Prince Jing. I’m going to swallow my pride and beg you to give the little girl a chance.”
Jiang also spoke up at the opportune moment, pointing out Jiang Wuyou's thoughts from a few years ago and hinting at her gratitude to Rong.
After all, what face does she have now? Naturally, it's the favor she received from the Empress more than a decade ago, who bestowed kindness upon the Rong family.
Rong Yun clearly sensed it too, and was displeased, but didn't show it on his face.
She, Jiang, is truly... as annoying as ever.
Well then, I won't hesitate to use this kind of person; I'll make good use of him as my most convenient tool.
Thinking this, Rong Yun's face lit up with an extremely warm smile, and he patted Jiang Wuyou's hand.
"Wuyou is also a child I watched grow up. Since you have this wish, I will naturally grant it. Tomorrow I will also move into Cining Palace. Would you like to come with me?"
"This humble woman is willing."
Jiang Wuyou responded softly, though she seemed a little coy, anyone could tell she was happy.
The Rong and Jiang families exchanged a glance, their faces full of affection.
The atmosphere among the three was exceptionally harmonious for a moment, since everyone had achieved their goals, so why not be happy?
After that, they chatted casually, and the host and guests enjoyed themselves immensely. For a time, the atmosphere was harmonious and joyful, and they really looked like a family.

The Imperial Palace.
Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Sheng Changling listened to the report from his subordinates and nodded in satisfaction.
I had already sent people to repair Cining Palace early this morning, but to ensure there wouldn't be any problems tomorrow, I had someone come and check on it before I felt at ease.
After dismissing the frightened man, Sheng Changling fell into deep thought.
He still respected his mother very much, and she had provided him with a lot of support in his ability to storm the palace.
Previously, his mother had always refused to enter the palace, saying that she was more comfortable outside, and he did not force her.
But since the Empress Dowager is willing to enter the palace, I must take good care of her for my father.
It's a pity that Father Emperor didn't come, otherwise the five of them could have been reunited, and he could have introduced Xi'er to them. A family always needs time to get to know each other.
Never mind, Xi'er hasn't finished her postpartum confinement yet, let's wait for another opportunity.
The Empress Dowager was the same; as long as the Empress Dowager approved, the Emperor wouldn't say anything more.
