After the collapse of the war there was no peace, the Taiqing wind and rain swaying;
The Sovereign King felt so helpless. He wanted to accept Meng Fei Fei to protect Bei An.
When the rebels heard the news of the fall of the Great Qing Empress, they started to spread the rumor that "the Great Qing Empress had passed away, and that the great Qing Dynasty would soon come to an end." This rumor became more and more intense, stirring up those who did not want to go back on their words. In May, the soldiers of Pingyang, Zhejiang, June, and Zu Hongxun mutinied in Wenzhou, and then Wenzhou, Huangyan, Taiping, and other camps also lost out to the rebels in a series of battles at Chang Shan, Wu Dang, Chang Shan, and Wu Dang. At the same time, the court appointed Bel Sang-shang as the great general of Jingkou in Anyuan, led the court to Yuezhou, ordered Wang Jie-shu, the son of the emperor, to go to Zhejiang, and sent General Dingxi to Sichuan. Xuan Ye knew that he no longer had a way out. There was only one way out in the Great Qing Province, and that was to fight to the bitter end.
Rong'er cherished this daughter of hers very much. In the morning, when she went to the Peace Palace to pay her respects, she had already seen that the child was healthy, and the empress could finally be at ease, right? A month had passed, and Rong'er was very lonely, and in the past, she had been allowed to chat with the empress in the East Warm Pavilion. But now, she was the only one left. She really didn't want to see Zhang Leyan at all. She was really lonely. Of course, the only thing worth being gratified about was that the emperor didn't forget that she was the same as before, often visiting her.
"Lord Rong, the Emperor has arrived." Rong'er hurriedly carried him and stood up.
"Your majesty, why have you come so late?" Rong'er asked in surprise.
Xuan Ye took the imperial edict from Rong'er. "Let me take a look at my daughter. Come, let me give Huang Ama a smile." Seeing Xuan Ye's noble demeanor, he was also exceptionally happy. His face also revealed a cute smile. Xuan Ye held his daughter tight in heartache and looked at Rong'er, saying, "I just saw the Minister and couldn't fall asleep. I came out to see the moon, and when I looked, I saw Rong'er here." Xuan Ye was still very worried about Rong'er after Changhua's departure from the palace. He knew how close she was to the empress, so he didn't dare to leave Rong'er in grief. That was why he often came to see her. His body was very weak, and he looked worried at times. He was truly worried that as long as Rong'er was around, he wouldn't feel lonely.
Hearing Xuan Ye's words, Rong'er smiled faintly. "The emperor has been working day and night to take care of the dragon's body."
"I will." Xuan Ye laughed softly, but his smile could not cover the fatigue on his face, "Sigh, the war in the south is not going well, I really feel very tired. All the troops from the north are moving to the south, and the surrounding of the capital is soon going to be empty.
"Then does the emperor have any solutions?" Rong'er asked worriedly.
"Mm, according to Empress Dowager's method, if you're still a concubine, the concubine of the harem will become a rule that I have no choice but to use. This Emperor will forever remember the words of the empress dowager. Even if I, the Consort, were to marry again, the more family I have, the more people will support me. "
Rong'er didn't say anything, only quietly listening to Xuan Ye speak. She knew the emperor would say this, so she had already decided to take in a consort.
Xuan Ye looked bitterly at Rong'er and continued, "In fact, the most unstable tribe in Mongolia is Prince Zhaohan's faction. After he was defeated by Emperor Taizong, he soon fell ill, and his 12-year-old eldest son, Zhe Zhe, took over the position. Although he was a captive of Daqing, Zhaozhong did not enlist him as a slave, but instead conferred him the title of Prince Zhaohar. At the same time, Taizong married the eldest daughter of the young Empress Zhe, Princess Duolun. Brother Abner. "
Xuan Xuan looked at Rong'er and continued speaking slowly, "The late Emperor Jain ruled over the Emperor, allowing Abel to ascend the throne of his brother, but the Princess died two years earlier in Kangxi. Four years ago, in order to stabilize this tribe, the Empress Emperor decided to marry Abner's eldest daughter to my cousin Bo Gudao, and at the same time to marry the daughter of Prince Bo Luo to Abner's son, Byrne. But in these years, there have always been thieves teaching him.
"Isn't Abner grateful that Daqing treated these prisoners of war so well?" Rong'er asked in surprise.
"Yeah, I hate people who forget their kindness the most, so after eight years of personal government, Kangxi ordered me to remove Prince Abney from the throne and imprison him in Shengjing, but I still let him live a more comfortable life, taking his son, Burney, for the position of Prince. In recent years, Burney has been serving the court year after year, and he also came to the capital to pay respects last year, but I've kept his father locked up, so I'm afraid Abner will affect Burney's judgement …" Xuan Xuan looked helplessly at Rong'er and slowly said, "This Abner has a little daughter, who was born to Princess Wen Zhuang, and is very much loved by Byrne."
"So the Emperor intends to take Abner's daughter as his consort?" Rong'er understood what Xuan Ye meant and asked softly.
"Yes, I think what the Empress Dowager said to me makes a lot of sense. When the Empress Dowager learned that Byrne dotes on this little sister, I took in Abney's little daughter as my consort so that Abner would not have second thoughts and Byrne would not dare to have second thoughts." Kang Xi looked helplessly at Rong'er, "Rong'er, do you think that I'm very useless?"
"Your Majesty …" "Now that the south is rebelling, the emperor has no choice but to do so. Rong'er understands the emperor." Rong'er softly consoled Xuan Ye. Rong'er knew that Xuan Ye was strong, but she had no choice but to rely on her and Na Fei to stabilize his country. Back then, this was the case for the empress and Imperial Concubine Zhao as well. However, the Emperor … "The empress just left, her bones haven't turned cold yet. You took her in so quickly …"
Xuan Ye laughed softly: "I am only welcoming her into the palace. Abner's youngest daughter is now only eleven years old, so she is too young. I just want her to stay in the palace until she grows older, then we can officially bestow her the title Imperial Concubine."
"In that case, chenqie understands." Ronger nodded and said, "Rong-er wants the Emperor to use this move to test if Byrne has any ill intentions? If he had any objections, he would definitely not send his favorite younger sister to the capital. "
Xuan Ye nodded his head and smiled faintly, "Rong'er, I have always known that you understand my thoughts. Yes, there is also a very important reason here, the southern battlefield is not strong enough, and I would like to draw out the forces of the Mongolian Eight Banners. If Bulny does not agree to this marriage, then I will have the troops of Mongolia guarding me. As Xuan Xuan said this, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought, his eyes also looking towards the ceiling.
Seeing Xuan Ye act like this, Rong'er's heart was filled with a trace of grief. The emperor was helpless to use his authority. The imperial palace would have to add a young concubine to the deal, and was her fate like the empress or the Imperial Concubine Zhao? This answer might be revealed in the near future …
