C107

The harem was peaceful again, and the southern battlefield was turning for the better.

The king wants to go out and fight the bandit, and Rong'er is worried that the king might coincidentally advise the king.

After all, Rong'er had entered the palace together with Su Ya, and Rong'er couldn't bear to have Su Ya suffer. This was the first time Rong'er had made a presumptuous request of the Emperor, and since the Zhang family had committed a crime, it would be a huge blessing for their palace maids to not die, but Xuan Ye had allowed it. Rong'er knew that as one of the four palace maids, he could send Xiu-Er to another place, so Xuan Ye could only smile and say that it was fine for Rong'er to stay by his side as long as he was pregnant.

Su Ya finally returned to the storage palace. When she saw Rong'er that day, she hurriedly expressed her gratitude. "Master Rong, thank you so much."

Rong'er lightly shook her head and said bitterly, "Su Ya, although you stayed in the palace, I'm afraid you'll never be able to leave."

Su Ya smiled and said, "If you can't go out, then you can't. You'll have to spend the rest of your life accompanying Young Master Rong. Su Ya is also willing."

Rong'er sighed helplessly, while Xiaoqing also smiled and interjected, "Master, I'm not going out either. I'll stay by your side and serve you for the rest of your life."

"Nonsense." Rong'er shook her head and said, "Women always have to marry. Su Ya has no other choice, so of course you two can marry each other. Xiao Qing should be able to leave the palace in two more years. When the time comes, you can find a good family and marry."

"Mistress, what are you talking about? There are still two more years. It's still too early, maybe this servant will not be willing to leave the palace." Little Qing blushed as she spoke.

Rong'er suddenly thought of Wang Jingzhi, "Oh right, Little Qing, where's Little Jun? "Where were they sent?"

"Oh, Mistress, I've already asked around. Jing'er was sent to the empress dowager's Tender's Palace. I think he went to take care of the imperial concubines." Little Qing hurriedly replied.

"Oh?" Rong'er lightly nodded. Actually, she really wanted Jing`er to come as well, but she couldn't say anything else. She thought that Jing`er wouldn't suffer much under the Grand Concubines' watch.

Although peace had been restored to the imperial harem, the battlefield in the south was still in the midst of fierce fighting. Every day, countless war reports would gush into Xuan Ye's ears. At the end of September, Geng's loyal judges captured Qingxi and Huizhou. The imperial government ordered the prince, Lama Bu, to lead the army to Jiangxi Province as well as the governor of Guangxi, Ma Xiong, and Wang Yuewei as well as General Dingyuan and Pingkou, to lead the army to Guangdong.

At the same time, in order to spread the trust of the rebel army, Xuan Ye also sent people to Fujian and Guangxi to recruit Geng Jing Zhong and Sun Yanling.

In addition to this, there was another matter that was extremely important to the war, and that was that the Drinking Sky Guards, South Huairen, a Belgian, had made light cannons suitable for mountainous warfare. According to the extremely high firing rate, a total of 350 new cannons had been made at the end of the year and shipped to the southern battlefield.

In early December of the year of Kangxi, the King's Assistant Minister to the Governor of Shaanxi Province, Yu Ningqiang, betrayed the Emperor and killed the Emperor of Shaanxi. This action shocked Xuan Ye, and when Wu Sangui started the army, he sent a letter to his aide asking him to join the rebellion. When his assistant sent his son, Wang Jianzhen, to the capital to deliver Wu Sangui's letter, Xuan Ye was touched. When he mentioned that Wang's aide-de-camp had accompanied Shanxi generals at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and that Dogon had failed in his two personal campaigns, and had then surrendered to Daqing, becoming a slave of Shinzhe, the late Emperor Shunzhi had admired this man, and had taken him out of Shinzu and reused him, and then captured him together with Wu Sangui into Myanmar. Xuan Ye truly did not think that this man was an ungrateful person, but now he had turned traitor and had to astonish people.

However, in December, Xuan Ye began to receive favorable reports. The Qing Army defeated the Geng Army in Wenzhou, Huangyan, Hangzhou, Rao Zhou, Quzhou, Jinhua and so on. They destroyed about a hundred thousand of their troops.

One day at the end of December, Xuan Ye went to visit Rong'er for dinner. Rong'er was five months pregnant, so it was no longer convenient for her to sleep with him. When Xuan Ye arrived, Rong'er was currently leaning on the warm brick bed, reading a book. On the warm brick bed, there was a small smoking cage. Naturally, the warmth of a lowly concubine like them couldn't compare to that of the main palaces. Seeing Xuan Ye walk in, Rong'er stood up with a smile and walked towards him.

Xuan Ye was still emitting cold air as he entered the room. Rong'er reprimanded him in a soft voice. "It's such a cold day. The emperor should stay in the palace more often. It's really cold outside."

Xuan Ye smiled and said, "It's alright. I have good news to share with Rong'er." As he spoke, Xuan Ye sat on the warm brick bed.

Rong'er walked up and pushed the incense to Xuan Ye, asking with a smile, "What's the good news?"

"The Qing Army is victorious again! "I feel much better now, so I can't wait to share my joy with Rong'er!" Xuan Ye smiled as he held Rong'er's hand.

"Then congratulations, your majesty!" In the past few days, the news of the Emperor's victory had been spreading more and more. Rong'er truly felt very happy.

Xuan Ye pulled Rong'er to sit beside him and said with emotion, "Actually, I really want to personally go to war. Now that the south is at war, I will personally go and rouse the morale of the troops! "The ministers and officials of the imperial court all tried to dissuade her, saying that the capital city was the most important place in the world, and that the empress dowager was extremely old in life. All of them resisted my personal actions."

"Then what does the emperor plan to do?" Rong'er looked at the side of Xuan Ye's face and asked.

Xuan Ye frowned. "I have not made up my mind."

Rong'er looked at Xuan Ye's vexed expression and thought for a moment. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Rong'er also thinks that it's best if His Majesty doesn't take the field personally."

Xuan Ye said with slight annoyance, "You are the same as them. You believe that I should guard this capital, and that if I personally lead you there, there will be danger. If anything happens to the capital, the consequences will be severe. I know what all of you mean, but how can I be someone who is afraid of death?"

"No." Rong'er said softly, "Rong'er was misunderstood by the Emperor before he could speak."

"Oh, what does Rong'er mean by that?" Xuan Ye turned his head to look at Rong'er.

"Your majesty, Rong'er thought that the reason your majesty can't take the field himself is obviously not because your majesty is afraid of death. In your son's eyes, your majesty is incomparably valiant, so how could he be afraid of death!" Rong'er smiled as he looked into Xuan Ye's eyes. "However, Rong'er thinks that with the war in the south, there should be internal strife, and the subjects of the rebellion should be sent by their subjects to pacify the rebellion. Didn't the Emperor personally go out to raise the status of the rebellion? If you don't go, then our Qing Dynasty's emperor will just send someone to pacify the rebellion."

After hearing Rong'er's words, Xuan Ye pondered for a moment before nodding and saying, "Haha, Rong'er, you're also advising us not to take the field. Your words are much more moving than the words of the officials and princes, but … "That makes sense."

"The Emperor agrees with Rong'er's words?" Rong'er's eyes shone with anticipation as she looked at Xuan Ye. Actually, she really didn't want the emperor to take the field personally. The safety of the emperor on the battlefield couldn't help but cause people to worry.

"Agreed." Xuan Ye nodded thoughtfully. "That's why I thought …" "I've decided, I'm not going anymore!" Xuan Ye chuckled as he held Rong'er tightly. He held this smart and kind woman, this woman that was indispensable to his life. "Rong'er, your thoughts are really good. This is an internal conflict, and I don't need to go personally."

In Xuan Ye's arms, Rong'er happily smiled.

In the coldest winter, as long as your heart is warm, you won't feel cold …
