Honor belt in the imperial garden, occasional encounter with Xuande head alone;

In terms of grass and stone, she was the second wife. New grass piercing through the rocks was eye-catching.

In May, the weather in the capital was still very comfortable. Rong'er sullenly led him to play in the imperial garden, and for some reason, he didn't know why, but for some reason, he didn't feel very energetic these days. The emperor was running around the garden while Xiaoqing followed closely behind.

"Mother!" Rongxian called to Rong'er and ran to the pavilion.

"My little princess, you are slow! Don't fall! " Little Qing followed nervously from the side, while Rong'er looked at the two of them with a funny expression.

With a chuckle, he ran into the pavilion and lunged at Rong'er. "Mother!"

Rong'er held onto him lightly, looking at his daughter's childish face. His eyes were clear and bright like the eyes of an emperor, with a smile he asked, "Xian'er, what's wrong? You don't want to play anymore? "

"Madam, why do all the stones in this garden look so strange?" Little Rongxian looked at Rong with a puzzled expression.

"Heh, because these are all strange stones." "The imperial garden of the palace is a stone garden. According to what your Emperor Ama said, the founder of the previous dynasty was very fond of this garden, so when he was building the garden, he used the stone as a peak. Your Emperor Ama said that there are Taihu stone, Indekite, Spirit Wall Stone, Rainflower Stone, Sea Floating Stone, stalactite, Color Pottery Stone, Wood Fossil, Crystallite, Tigerite, Perlite, Metamorphic Stone, and so on."

It was clear that she was still young, so she didn't understand what Rong'er was saying. Looking at her daughter's expression, he smiled and said, "In short, these strange-looking stones are all very precious stones." Rong'er thought of what the Emperor had once said to her. The stone was very hard. If a person's will was as strong as a stone, then they would be able to defeat it. If the country was tough, then it would definitely succeed, and this stone could be used as a metaphor for the country. The country had to be built like a stone, and it could not be pushed forward.

"I really didn't expect that Noble Lady Rong knew quite a bit about this garden." A woman's voice suddenly sounded out from behind Rong'er. Rong'er was speaking to him, and Xiaoqing and Su Ya were also listening attentively to him, so much so that they didn't even notice that someone had passed by. Rong'er hurriedly turned around upon hearing the commotion, only to see that it was De Chang.

"Xuande greets the Noble Lady Rong." De Chang walked up to Rong'er and greeted him.

"Sister, no need to be so polite." Rong'er smiled, then looked behind Xuande. Unexpectedly, there wasn't a palace maid accompanying her, so he couldn't help but ask, "Why is it that when little sister came to the garden alone, there weren't any palace maids waiting on her?"

"I don't really like walking around with the palace maids. I don't like having the maidservants follow me when I'm at home in the past. "For no reason at all." "Can I sit down and talk to my sister?"

"Of course." Rong'er looked at Xuande's smiling face and softly replied, "Sister, please take a seat."

Xuande sat next to Rong'er on a stone bench, smiling as she said, "Big sister is very familiar with the scenery of this garden."

"Not really, but I've heard the Emperor mention it before, so I made a note of it." Rong'er replied in a soft voice, then looked at Emperor Rong who was sitting on his lap. "This man is called Madame De."

"Madame De." Although she was still very young, she was already used to calling out to others whenever she wanted. She wanted to pay respects to the first lady, the first lady, and the second lady … Defiance … She had many concubines. "Mu Niang." He looked up at Rong'er. "I'm going to play …"

Rong'er nodded. "Alright, go." He gently put down the imperial edict and looked at Xiaoqing, "Xiaoqing, follow the princess."

Xiaoqing agreed and followed Rongxian out of the pavilion.

Xuande smiled at Rong'er and softly said, "Big sister is truly fortunate that the princess is so adorable."

"I am indeed very happy that you are intelligent and sensible." Rong'er wasn't stingy with his praises of his daughter. He raised his head to look at Xuande with a faint smile. It was impossible to tell what she was thinking, but it gave off a very easy-going feeling.

To speak of a man with a stone, his will is as strong as a stone; to speak of a nation with a stone, he is as firm as a stone." Xuan De chuckled, "Xuan De is thinking, could the stone in the imperial family garden also have this kind of meaning?

She gently lifted her head to look at Xuande, but Xuande's face still carried an amiable smile. This girl was intelligent, her words were exactly the same as the Emperor's back then. Rong'er stared at Xuande, his gaze never leaving her for a long time.

Xuande softly said, "However, the scenery of the rocks is lacking in liveliness, they have been looking at it for a long time, it is always so plain and unremarkable, it will lose its interest, unlike the flowers and plants, which grow differently every year, and will always have new ideas, so the garden is mainly made of rocks, and the personal feelings are lacking in novelty."

Rong'er looked at her and couldn't help but marvel at how she was able to say such words at such a young age.

"Noble Lady Rong, did Xuande say the wrong thing?" Seeing Rong'er staring at her without speaking, Xuande hurriedly asked.

Hearing Xuande's question, Rong'er realized that she had lost her composure. Looking at Xuande, she really seemed to see herself. Ten years ago, when she was reciting a poem with the emperor, she thought of her little poem about grass in the Kunning Palace. At that time, she was still young. She felt her heart tremble slightly.

"Hard rocks can't stop grass roots from sprouting." Rong'er thought about it and then subconsciously said, "De Chang Zai, have you ever heard of how strong the grass is? In harsh environments, it would take root and grow. It was unstoppable, even if it was the strongest. It's the same with hard stones. "

"The mischievous grass stuck its head out of the crack in the stone." Xuande smiled as she replied, "Elder sister is right, it's just that if the grass grew from the rocks, no matter how tenacious it is, it can only crawl out from the cracks in the rocks, and these cracks are gaps left by the rocks. If there is no gap, no matter how tenacious the grass is, it will not be able to emerge from the cracks."

Rong'er looked at Xuande. She was only fifteen, and Rong'er was nearly ten years older than her. He sighed lightly, "It's really rare for you to have such a thought at such a young age. What you say is very reasonable."

"Actually, Xuande had read some books since she was young, but she wasn't proficient in them. My father is a general, so he doesn't pay much attention to these. However, he is relatively lax in his discipline of his children." Therefore, I often chat with my brothers. Some of the good ones aren't good, but some of the bad ones are good. " Xuan De said with a smile.

Rong'er felt the familiarity and thought about their conversation. Suddenly, she felt that these new wives were like newborn grass, full of vigor, and these old wives were like stones without any novelty; and the cracks between these stones made the growth of the new plants, ah, Rong'er mocked herself, no matter how much they didn't want the cracks, they couldn't completely close them down. And as Xuande had said, as long as there was a gap, the new grass would grow very well.

Rong'er lightly stood up and softly said to Xuande, "It's great to be young, it's best to cherish it."

"Noble Lady Rong, are you not feeling well?" Xuande naturally did not know what Rong'er was thinking. Seeing that Rong'er's face had turned pale, she asked in concern.

Rong'er shook his head and smiled. "It's nothing. I'm just a bit tired these days. I just need to go back and rest. Then, I'll take my leave."

"Greetings to elder sister." Xuan De also stood up and said.

Rong'er turned around to look at Xuande before leaving the pavilion. "I'm very happy to chat with you. In the future, we'll be spending our lives together in this palace."

Xuande nodded as she replied with a smile, "Of course. Xuande will continue to nag elder sister in the future. Don't mind her."

Rong'er pursed her lips into a smile and nodded lightly. She didn't reply and led Su Ya out of the pavilion.

Xuande stood alone in the middle of the pavilion, watching as Rong'er called out for Princess Rongxian. Holding Princess Rongxian's small hand and walking towards the garden's gate, her face still carried a smile. This was the Noble Lady Rong, the woman who had the most children of the Emperor, the woman who had won the favor of the Emperor for ten years. This should be the first time they were alone. Not bad, this Noble Lady Rong, gave her a warm feeling …
