The Crown Prince of the East Palace was conferred the title of Crown Prince, and the direct son of the Crown Prince of the East Palace was given the title of Crown Prince of the East Palace. The Crown Prince of the East Palace was conferred the title of Crown Prince of the East Palace.
The time for the selection was about to come.
The weather in the capital was already very cold, but the palace was bustling with activity. The inauguration ceremony for the crown prince was scheduled for December, which was the first official inauguration ceremony in the Great Qing Dynasty. Whether it was the late emperor's arrival or the current emperor, they both ascended the throne immediately after the fall of the late emperor, so many of the ceremonies were incomplete.
There were only a few more days until the grand ceremony. Rong'er was in the imperial palace with the empress dowager when they were bestowing the title of the grand ceremony. "Esteemed wangfei …" A year and a half of BaoCheng already occasionally said a few simple words, perhaps because Ronger often came to be close to him, so he was especially close with Rong-er.
"Beautiful girl, let me dress you in beautiful clothes. Very soon, you will be the crown prince of our Qing Dynasty." Ronger smiled as he supported Baocheng, while his wife, Lama Su, was putting on a small yellow robe over Baocheng's body.
The empress dowager smiled and said, "He will be the first official crown prince of our Qing Dynasty. When he reaches the age of three, he will officially accept the emperor's education."
Rong'er couldn't help but sigh as he looked at his tiny body. How could he know what the crown prince meant to him at such a young age? This would be a heavy burden to him for the rest of his life.
"Old ancestor, do you think the crown prince will still stay here?" Rong'er looked at the Empress Dowager.
"This Dowager and the Emperor have discussed. We'll stay in This Dowager's palace for the time being, and teach him personally. We'll arrange a palace for him when he's older." The empress dowager replied softly.
"Old Ancestor, actually, when the Emperor ascended the throne at the age of eight, he had to shoulder a lot of pressure. However, if he were to become the crown prince because of this, he would not have a happy childhood." Rong'er said worriedly as he looked at Bao Cheng, who was sitting on the warm brick bed.
"It is his fortune to be Crown Prince. As a man, what is greater than being the Son of Heaven? But if you want to have such a fortune, you must pay a price. Rong-er is like you stepwives, you have the good fortune to be the Emperor's woman, and although it is a blessing, you are bound by more restrictions and rules than you are used to. This is the harem, and it is the fate of the Emperor's women, and similarly the children of the Emperor cannot escape such a fate. " The empress dowager said solemnly.
Rong'er looked at the warm brick bed with his new clothes and smiled. Perhaps from now on, this child would have a different life. Was this good or bad for him?
Kangxi December 13, 1914, in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, with the Minister of Kang-fu, Ye Boshu, and the Lieutenant General Tuohai as the envoys. The Minister of Revenue felt that Roland Dehong and the Minister of War, Wang Xi, were his lieutenants. The Crown Prince was appointed as the Crown Prince, and was bestowed with the title of the Book Treasure, the Eastern Palace, and the Heart of the Four Seas, which had existed for tens of thousands of years. After the ceremony, Xuan Ye led the various dukes, bele, bai zi, official, and inner court minister, the Grand Scholar, the lieutenant, Shang Shu, Jing Qi-han Fan, and the imperial guards to salute the empress dowager and palace of the empress dowager.
After the great ceremony was completed, Xuan Ye issued a decree to both the Chinese and foreign officials to grant them amnesty.
From then on, he was guaranteed to become the crown prince of the Eastern Palace, and his extraordinary life also began.
At the end of the year, the Qing Army and the rebel army fought side by side in the Southern Battlefield. Kangxi spent fourteen years of his life celebrating the bestowment of the title of Crown Prince.
On the last day of the fourteenth year, when it suddenly snowed, with Rong'er leaning on a warm brick bed, the room still warm, with little Rongxian playing alone in front of her, Ronger looking out the window at the snow dancing in the sky, Ronger living in his prime, this year was very peaceful, without last year's panic, the Emperor became more calm, more confident in facing the war in the south, and she herself felt that after experiencing so many events, he had started to regain his composure, and after seeing the status struggle in the imperial palace, he had the longevity of the prince, the imperial constitution, she had the love of the imperial palace, and she was the happy woman in the palace. What pet? This wasn't what she wanted, because she liked it. Even if it was just silently waiting for her, she would still be willing to do it.
In February, Xuan Ye appointed the University Scholar Tuohai as the great general of Fuyuan. He led the army to Shaanxi Province to destroy the rebellion division of Wang's aides and ministers. Wang Jingzhi's father accompanied him once again, and in the blink of an eye, it was the end of the month.
The two were chatting as usual. They were chatting about protection, about the glory of the kingdom, about longevity, and for a long time, just as Rong'er was about to fall asleep, Xuan Ye suddenly said in a faint voice, "Rong'er, in a few days, the Triennial Elective will be held. This year's selection might result in more people entering the palace."
Rong'er listened in silence, but did not reply. Xuan Ye continued, "Royal Grandmother and I have already made some preparations. Both of them have rendered meritorious service in the past two years, or were daughters of senior officials of the Imperial Court. I don't know why, but I would like to tell you first."
"Your majesty, Rong'er knows, chenqie already knew." Rong'er said softly.
Xuan Ye turned his head to look at Rong'er, who leaned against his chest. Rong'er smiled and said, "The empress dowager already told chenqie when we were at the spring."
Xuan Ye gently embraced Rong'er. "I have always said this, and I cannot neglect them too much when I bring them into the palace. But if I go and favor them, then I will spend less time with Rong'er. I do not want Rong'er to think too much. In my heart, Rong'er is always the most important."
Your Majesty, this year is the tenth year that Rong'er has been by the side of the Emperor. Rong'er truly hopes that he can accompany the Emperor and continue walking forward. As the Emperor has said back then, accompanying the Emperor for a lifetime, Rong'er will be like a queen, kind to the other sisters in the imperial harem.
"Has it been ten years? Time flies! In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed. " Xuan Ye sighed, "But I feel that it was just a fleeting moment."
"Your majesty, too many things have happened in these ten years, so you'll feel it too soon. Rong'er and your majesty's moods have indeed changed greatly, but as long as your majesty has Rong'er in his heart and your son has your majesty in his heart, then our previous relationship won't change at all." Rong'er said softly.
"Yeah, if you think about it carefully, so much has happened in just ten years." Xuan Ye looked at Rong'er and said, "But I and Rong'er are still together. Only this has not changed, and that is that everything has not changed. I, Rong'er, cannot give you a position higher than that of the imperial concubines. Don't blame me."
"Your Majesty, the Old Ancestor told Rong'er in Tangquan that Rong'er doesn't want a throne, this has never been what Rong'er wants. Without a throne, the Emperor no longer has any pressure, as long as Rong'er gives Rong'er a corner in his heart, Rong'er is willing to divide his son's heart equally with the other imperial concubines. Rong'er doesn't want to monopolize it." Rong'er nodded.
I want Rong'er to stay happily in this harem for the rest of his life. Without scheming or scheming, no matter how many concubines I take in, I will not let you be pushed into a crowd. What I do is to maintain balance, as long as Rong'er remembers, the weight you have in your heart, as long as it is the same, then it is enough. If there really comes a next life, I, as an ordinary citizen, will love you much more. Xuan Ye lowered his head to look at Rong'er as he spoke.
Rong'er's eyes were filled with tears. Was this the emperor's love for her? In the past ten years, the emperor had never spoken to her like this, everything she had felt from her heart. The emperor had done far more to her than to her, but now that the emperor had said it, the tears in his eyes grew more and more, both moved and grateful. As a woman, the greatest happiness in her life was obtaining the deepest feeling of a king, right?
"Rong'er, we like you. We really like you, we like you very much, but Rong'er, I don't want to give you any pressure, and the imperial harem is about to have another wife come in, so there is a possibility that her Imperial Concubine is even higher than yours. We are afraid that you will be suspicious, and afraid that you will worry that we won't like you anymore.
Tears finally welled up in her eyes. "Your Majesty …" Tears constantly rolled down her cheeks. "Rong'er, you really like Your Majesty …" "Rong'er won't be suspicious …"
Xuan Ye used his lips to lightly kiss Rong'er's cheeks, and then lightly kissed Rong'er's eyes, which were still filled with tears. Seeing the tears in her eyes, Xuan Ye muttered, "Rong'er …" Healthy and happy to live, so... Only then can This Emperor be at ease … "Only then would I have the courage to face the endless matters of the imperial court …"
