I'm very happy, thought Rong'er. His majesty says his lessons progress very quickly, and I'm very pleased with that. Although I can't see him as often as I used to, I'll be satisfied as long as he grows up healthy and happy. Only a single mother can understand my mother's thoughts and worries about my son.
"Greetings to you, Madam." Upon entering Rong'er's palace, he knelt down and greeted him in a courteous manner.
Rong'er hastily rose to his feet. "Zhi'er, hurry and get up. Come over here and let your eldest sister-in-law see how tall you've grown."
"Mother, you took good care of your son in the institute, so you don't have to worry too much about him," Prince Yin said softly as he rose to his feet.
Rong'er nodded, but smiled and nodded as he looked at his son's clearly taller stature. "How can I not worry? Your mother-in-law is afraid that you won't be able to eat well, sleep well, and work hard?"
"Mother, they're all pretty good. It's no trouble at all. Yin likes to study." Before the young man's voice faded away, his voice was clear and pure.
Rong'er nodded his head. "That's good. You should learn your lesson and practice your riding skills well. A few days ago, your grandma heard from Huang Ah Ma that your archery skills had improved a lot. You're almost catching up to your big brother."
"Heh, your son likes to shoot arrows. Mother, didn't you always say that Huang'ma was a martial arts expert? "If he wants to be like Ah Ma, then he'll have to keep that in his heart." Prince Fu looked towards Rong'er with a smile.
"Good child …" Before Rong'er could finish speaking, the curtain to the warm pavilion opened and Rong Xian and Yin You entered. "Second Mother, I heard that Zhi'er had returned, so I brought You'er here to take a look."
Since the fact that he had secretly taken her to the Palace and lost her composure in front of Zheng Kehe, Rong-er had been completely banned. This time, Rong-er was determined to keep her out of the Palace, no matter whether she was pretending to be pitiful or imploring her. Rong-er didn't believe that he couldn't keep her boyish personality and bring her into the Palace, and Rong-er did his best to help Rong-er take care of her.
"Prince Yin!" Do you miss your royal sister? " Emperor Rong asked with a smile on his face.
"There is!" "Why haven't you come to see us in almost a month? Second Brother said he misses you."
"I …" Rongxian secretly glared at Rongxian with a slanted head, and sighed, "Sigh! I've angered my mother, I've been grounded … Take me to say hello to Yin He! "
"The Crown Prince!" Rong'er reminded him again.
"Mother, why do I have to call Yin He Crown Prince? Big brother will never call you that! " he protested to Rong'er, pouting.
Rong'er smiled lightly as he spoke to Prince Rong and Zhi Yin. "The Crown Prince is the future king and the future son of heaven of our Qing Dynasty. You must treat him with the same respect as your Emperor Ama, understand?"
"Granny, as you say, there's no one else. Big Brother is called Yin Yin Yin everyday, and no one has ever called him that!" he protested in a low voice.
You are the crown prince's royal sister, and the crown prince can call you royal sister, but you cannot call him by his name. Today, when your eldest mother speaks to you, you must promise that you will obey. Ronger said patiently to the Constitution.
"Alright, I'll follow your orders." Rong'er understood his daughter, so she agreed. She waved her hand at Yin You, then called you over. "You'er has to be like Third Brother, and respect the Crown Prince," she said with a smile.
"Alright!" Yin You wasn't even three years old, so he didn't really understand what this meant.
You'er, you have to grow up quickly. When the time comes, you can learn riding and shooting together with me!" "Prince Yin said to him in a serious tone.
"Third brother, is riding and shooting fun?" Yin You raised his face in confusion as he asked.
"It's fun, of course it's fun, so you have to grow up quickly!" "What?"
Yin You nodded seriously.
Rong'er smiled happily. Although Yin You's right leg was injured, it actually didn't affect his walking. As he walked, he discovered that he was only limping slightly. However, running and jumping around wasn't a problem at all.
"Zhi'er, is the crown prince well?" It's been a long time since I've seen him. " Rong'er asked softly.
"Eldest Brother is pretty good. He originally asked the imperial edict to come with your son to meet you, but then Emperor Ama suddenly sent him over. He asked Zhi'er to pay his respects to you on his behalf. Second Brother said he missed you too."
"It's good that the Crown Prince has the heart to do so." Rong'er said gratefully.
"Sister, what did you do wrong?" "What's the matter?" Prince Fu asked.
Rongxian's round eyes stared at him and said rather helplessly, "I thought I would see a brave hero just to see a sea bandit, but he turned out to be a weak scholar."
"Honorable Constitution, stop talking about pirates!" Rong'er reprimanded.
"That's what Huang Ama said first!" She had heard from her own ears that Huang Ama and her head mother had said so.
"That was in the past. Now that the Duke has been conferred the title of Duke, how can we return the words of a sea bandit? Don't ever speak of it again." Rong'er felt really helpless towards this daughter of his.
"Alright, I understand." The emperor grinned in agreement.
"Sis, that Zheng Ke Qi is really weak!" "What happened?"
"That's right. He's about the same age as Big Brother, but he's so cultured. No wonder his army was defeated without a fight!" "I don't know what Serenity was thinking, but she kept saying he was good. It was all so that she could be helped off the ground when she fell!"
Kid, you are speaking nonsense. Zheng Ke Qi is a good man. He can't bear the sight of people in Taiwan being set on fire. After all, he is a traitor, and a practical man compared to his father." Rong'er had heard from Xuan Ye that Zheng Ke Qi had made a request that he would not be hurt, that he would not hurt a single person in the Zheng family, a hundred officers and soldiers, or a person named Li Shu in Taiwan, and that he would be considered as a kind person compared to his father. However, Xuan Ye had also said that Zheng Ke Qi's kind and cowardly character was destined to be difficult to achieve great things.
Rong'er sighed softly as he looked at Prince Yin. "All right, you should head back earlier. Don't break the palace rules. Your mother only wants to look at you. You're fine, so your mother can set her at rest!" Rong'er nodded in satisfaction.
"Mother …" "When can I put an end to the confinement? If I stay in the palace all the time, I'll suffocate. "
"Whenever I learn the dignity of a princess, I will lift the restriction on the foot. A princess' elder won't let me worry!" Rong'er lightly glared at his daughter. Emperor Rong curled his lips and lowered his head without saying anything. This time, he really was unlucky. This made her first mother especially angry. He was determined to lock her up.
After greeting Rong'er with a smile, he bid farewell to his concubine and left the palace. Rong'er watched him disappear into the background, and there was a momentary flash of inspiration as the child grew up. During the past year, Xuan Ye had often praised him for his rapid improvement in his teaching skills, which made Rong'er feel genuinely happy.
At this moment, Su Ya walked in and said to Rong'er, "Mistress, just now, there was a message from the Crimson Palace that your esteemed self is pregnant."
"Oh? Is Tongyu pregnant again? " A trace of disappointment flashed across Rong'er's face. With her current age, would she never get pregnant again? Of course, this was also the first child she'd raised that wasn't hers. She would spare no effort in raising him, so Rong'er's gaze fell upon him.
"Mistress, don't think too much." After following Rong'er for so many years, Xiaoqing knew what he was thinking with a single glance. "Didn't you always know that this was just a matter of time? There will never be a lack of concubines in the palace."
In these two years, many people have had a new birthday, but I can no longer bear to give birth to my brother or princess for the emperor. Every time I think about it, I feel a little sad, Xiaoqing, you know that I'm not very good at hiding my feelings, I'm just an ordinary woman, it's hard not to think too much about me. "
"Master …" Su Ya's heart ached slightly as she called out to Rong'er.
"I'm fine …" In the end, she was still just a normal woman. She allowed herself to be open, not jealous, but that did not mean that she did not want to think about it, or even think about it occasionally, but only for a moment. She believed that she would soon forget that the Emperor had treated her well enough, and there was nothing for her to be dissatisfied with.
