The concubine gives birth to a true dragon, but the empress dowager has the heart to raise it;

The prince left his concubine at the age of six, studying hard to meet them.

In December, in the midst of a heavy snow, the concubine gave birth to a prince, the mother and child were safe, the baby was born in the morning, Rong'er waited outside until the mother and son were safe before returning to rest in the chamber, but in the afternoon Rowan, Gou-er and Toya came over to say that they had gone to see the concubine in the afternoon, and they were very unhappy, it was said that the Emperor had seen the concubine today and said that the new prince would be given to the Empress Dowager to raise.

According to the rules set by the emperor, a concubine could take care of her children, so why would she give it to the empress dowager to raise? If the empress dowager wanted to raise a prince, then neither Prince Zhi nor Yin had mentioned it before. Why was she only a concubine's child?

After Xuanye's dinner, he would often take a walk around the palace for no important reason. Since the Yikun Palace, where Rong lived, was close to the Palace, he would often visit his son's sleeping quarters.

tonight, Xuan Ye arrived as scheduled, and as soon as he entered, Rong'er impatiently asked, "Your majesty, why did chenqie hear that a new prince suitable for a concubine would be sent to the empress dowager for raising?"

"Oh!" Xuan Ye nodded and slowly walked to the side of the brick bed to sit down. "Rong'er's news is pretty well-informed, isn't it!"

"How could I not know? Today, everyone who went to see the concubine knew that the concubine was upset." Rong'er frowned, not understanding why the emperor had suddenly turned so ruthless.

"I also know that she is sad, so I didn't stay in the Palace for long. I'm afraid that I don't feel good looking at her." Xuan Ye sighed helplessly and said, "But since Imperial Mother has already opened her mouth, how could Zhen refuse?"

"Did the empress dowager ask for it? Your consort even thought that the empress dowager wouldn't want to raise any more children after her longevity. " Rong'er sat down next to Xuan Ye, puzzled.

"Alas, when Long Sheng had just passed away, the empress dowager was extremely saddened and didn't want to raise him anymore, so she didn't mention raising him, but it's been years since then. In fact, the empress dowager had wanted to raise him back then, when Yin Zheng was born; only, before Pin De had even given birth, the Imperial Concubine Yi had said every day that if Xuande gave birth to a prince, she could raise him. You know that the empress loved the Imperial Concubine Yi and couldn't bear to let her down, so the concubine ended up raising her again." Xuan Ye sighed. "I know that Imperial Mother still misses longevity. Having a prince by her side can be considered a blessing in disguise. I can't bear to refuse, so I have no choice but to suffer and give in. She's still young and still has a chance to give birth."

"So that's how it is." Rong'er nodded lightly. "Then chenqie will understand the emperor. It's just that the emperor has to properly console little sister Yi Lan."

"Sigh!" Comforting... But Rong'er, you also know, can this comfort come over? It's going to be hard for a while anyway. " Xuan Ye smiled and held Rong'er's hand. "Rong'er, I know that you've been working hard in the imperial harem recently. It's really hard on you to have care of your sisters."

Imperial Concubine Yi is still young after all, so I don't have much experience in taking care of the pregnant concubines. As such, I have a lot of experience in doing so, which would allow my sisters to be safer. "Xia Qianyu said in a serious tone. Rong'er said with a smile.

"Therefore, it is my fortune to have obtained the honor of my son!" Xuan Ye sighed.

Rong'er smiled embarrassedly. "Your majesty praises me too much. This is all a concubine's doing."

Xuan Ye nodded his head in relief. He suddenly felt as if something was missing. Only then did he realize that the two children who used to stay in Rong's room after dinner wasn't here today. No wonder he felt much quieter than before and couldn't help but ask, "Why aren't these two here today?"

"Oh, after dinner, Xian`er and Yin went to find the crown prince. They haven't come back yet." Rong'er looked at Xuan Ye and gave a gentle smile. After all, it wasn't very proper, but the children liked to gather together and play. The emperor hadn't made it clear that the prince and his daughter weren't allowed to visit the crown prince, so he had tacitly agreed to his son's actions.

"Sigh!" "They went to secretly look for Yin Wei again … Hah, this pair of brother and sister …" Xuan Ye shook his head and chuckled.

Rong'er sighed, "It's just a child. After all, we can have fun together, and we also like to meet together. They can occasionally sneak in to see Yin He, and it won't be that easy for chenqie to meet Yin He." After Yin Yin moved to Yuqing Palace, it was difficult for the imperial concubines to meet him. On the one hand, he had a lot of work to do, so he had nothing to do with his daily activities, but on the other hand, he had to apply for a meeting. Considering that he couldn't affect the Prince's studies, it was very difficult to meet him, not to mention that he was the Crown Prince, it was extremely difficult for the concubines to meet him.

Seeing Rong'er's slightly sad expression, Xuan Ye laughed softly. "Rong'er, have you thought about Yin He yet?"

Rong'er replied with a hint of disappointment, "What did the emperor ask you about? Ever since the crown prince was born, chenqie has been running to the empress dowager's palace from time to time. She watched the crown prince grow up, but now she can't even see him once every two to three months. How can she not miss him?"

"How about this, I have ordered that after the lesson tomorrow, I will come to the palace to pay my respects to you. How about that?" Xuan Ye laughed.

Rong'er's eyes were filled with joy as he asked, "Is what the Emperor said true?"

"How could I lie to you, I'll tell Yin He tomorrow!" As for the education of the prince, he believed that he would be living with the imperial concubine before the age of six. They were facing a kind mother, and they could fully enjoy their childhood, so he would pay less attention to them, just like now, where he was only taught a little by Rong'er. He rarely went to teach Zhi Zhi, but the child was clever, and Xuan Ye was extremely pampered by him. The education of the prince Xuan Ye believed that after the age of six, when Prince Ju began, all his childhood would have to end and he would begin to receive a strict Prince's education. So now, Xuan Ye was much more concerned with Yin Wei and Yin Ying than he had been before they were six years old, and he began to do his duty as a strict father.

After all, the imperial concubines were still spoiled by the princes. A prince, who was often spoiled by his first wife, would often develop a heart of reliance on her, and would also easily get infected with her. Therefore, in order to achieve a clear end to the situation, he had to ruthlessly harden his heart and limit the number of times he could meet her. Naturally, Xuan Ye also knew of Rong's and Yin's feelings, so he could not bear to look at Rong'er's disappointed expression, and after thinking about it for a while, they had indeed not met for a long time, so he agreed.
