In the younger wives, Xuande and I talked the most, but Xuande's expression and words that day made me feel very strange. I could faintly feel that there were still words in her words.
The sixteen year old Dingya had just grown up, her features were elegant, and in Rong'er's eyes, she still looked a little like a Jiangnan girl. In fact, during the banquet at the imperial palace, Rong'er already had a feeling that this petite girl was often in the middle, and was rather eye-catching. Xuan Ye, who had just returned from Jiangnan, had a good impression of the Jiangnan women, so it wasn't strange for the emperor to favor Dingya at all.
Just that she did not expect that only one month later, Dingya would be pregnant, she was probably a lucky person, to have gotten the Dragon so quickly.
When Rong'er received the news, Xuande was leading Yin to sit in her palace, on this trip to the south together, the two of them had accompanied each other, and their relationship was getting better, so after returning to the palace, they became closer, and when they received the news that Ding Ya had obtained Long Zi, the two of them were a little surprised, but they did not say anything, in truth, the two of them were smart people, and knew that saying anything at this time would not be good.
Xuande only smiled, "Sister Rong, this DingYa should be staying at Imperial Concubine Wen's place, should we go and take a look?"
"According to the rules, we are called 'Consort'. Dingya has not received her title, so we can avoid looking. But if we were to go and take a look, it would be for the best. After all, she is pregnant with Long Si." Rong'er said softly.
"That's fine then. The next day is not as good as the next. We'll head over to take a look now. After I finish reading, I'll head back to the palace." Imperial Concubine De stood up and nodded.
Rong'er also felt that this was reasonable, so she stood up and let Xiaoqing put on her coat as she prepared to leave.
"Yin Qi, let's go!" He was almost five years old this year, and was very cute, very cute indeed, just like the Imperial Concubine De, he seemed very smart just by looking at him, and also had a lively personality. When he saw that all the imperial concubines in the palace were calling out to his concubines, the imperial concubines in the palace liked it, and it was obvious that Xuande had put in a lot of effort to keep him up.
"Mother, are we leaving?" Yin Shang ran over.
"Yes, Eldest Young Madam and you have to make a trip to the palace together. When we get to the east side, Eunuch Wu will take you back to the palace first." Xuande gently said to her son.
"En!" "Sister, Brother, I need to go back first. You guys need to find me to play, okay?"
"Alright!" Rong Xian walked over with Yin You. "Madame De, take care. You must come often, and also bring your sixth royal brother with you."
Xuande smiled and nodded. "Rongxian, take care of Yin You. Your mother will be back soon."
Rong-er and Xuande led Yinyou back to the east, Xuande let the court take Little Brother back to the palace.
"Eldest Mother Rong, goodbye!" Come to our palace often to play! " Yinshi invited Rong'er with a smile.
"He must go often." Rong'er smiled in agreement, and Yin ran away happily.
"Slow down, don't fall!" Imperial Concubine De hurriedly called out to his son from behind when she saw him running away.
"I know!" Yin Qi replied loudly, turned around and waved towards Imperial Concubine De, then continued to walk towards the palace.
"Yin is very sensible." Rong'er said softly.
"Yes, he is my life. "Genji, this child is smart and lively. The Emperor likes him as well. He often praises him." Xuande softly said with a mother's unique smile of pride towards her child.
"Oh right, why didn't you bring Wen Xian along today?" Rong'er thought of Xuande's daughter.
"Sleep when you come out. "I feel like I'm being coaxed by a wet nurse." Xuande replied, and the two of them walked slowly towards the palace.
They first went to pay their respects to the Imperial Concubine Wen in the inner palace, then went to the side hall to look for Ding Ya. Seeing that the two entered, Ding Ya was very surprised, so she hastily went to pay her respects.
Rong'er laughed and helped him up, "There's no need to bow, the two of us heard that you are pregnant, so we came over to take a look, since you are the head, and the two of us are experienced people, if you have any discomfort, or do not understand, you can ask us, since the Imperial Concubine Wen has a body, I'm afraid we won't be able to take care of you."
"Imperial Concubine Rong, you are too infuriating. Ding Ya being able to receive the care and attention of Imperial Concubine Rong and Imperial Concubine De truly flattered her." After all, she was only a person who hadn't been conferred a title. It was really too unexpected for someone from the Imperial Concubine to come visit her.
"Actually, you don't need to worry too much. We should all be sisters in the harem. Back then, when the benevolent and filial empress was still alive, I had only made a small promise, and she had always treated me kindly. Thus, ever since then, the affection between the harem sisters has always been one, regardless of the title."
"That's right, Dingya. Now that you have obtained the king's favor, you are our sister. As long as you need help, just say the word out. We definitely won't sit idly by and let you do nothing." Imperial Concubine De also laughed and said.
Ding Ya's eyes turned red as she gently nodded. "Thank you for your concern, sisters. Ding Ya will definitely protect the fetus well and allow it to grow up happily."
"Yes, it is our duty as harem women to reproduce for the emperor. You have to protect yourself well, and I will get someone to send something over later. If you need anything, just ask." Rong'er smiled and said softly.
"Right, take good care of yourself." Xuande also interrupted.
"Thank you, thank you!" Ding Ya was truly moved as she constantly spoke.
After exiting Ding Ya's room, Xuan De softly said, "Big sister Rong, from my many years of experience, this Ding Ya isn't someone with scheming. She should be a kind girl."
"Oh you, why do you think your guard is so heavy? How can there be so many scheming people around?" Rong'er laughed as he spoke of Xuande.
Xuande looked at Rong'er in disapproval, "You're still talking about me, but I'm about to talk about you. I've suffered again and again, and I can't remember it. I don't know how many times I'll have to be hurt before you understand." With a sigh, he added, "The reason why I'm saying all these is for your own good."
Rong'er looked at Xuande, gently holding Xuande's hand, and sincerely said: "Xuande, you know, when you were beaten by Empress Xiao Zhao because of me, I knew that you were a kind person who liked to fight against injustice, so from then on, you are the person I can trust."
"What's this about ancient times? I don't even remember." Hearing Rong'er's words, Xuande felt a little embarrassed.
"Your personality is just like this. Although you have a tough mouth, your heart is very kind. Only those who know you well will know that you are a straightforward and honest person. Honestly speaking, I am much older than all of you. Amongst these young concubines, the only thing I can say to you is the feeling that I am able to speak the truth. " Rong'er said with a hint of emotion.
Xuande looked at Rong'er, a strange expression suddenly appeared on her face. She retracted her smile, and held Rong'er's hand, "Big sis has misjudged Xuande, Xuande isn't as good as big sister has said. However, Xuande has something to say, all these years I have never said this, but today I want to say it." As Xuande said this, her eyes reddened. She took a deep breath and regained her composure, "Big sister Rong, in this palace, I really envy you. You've always been able to persevere with your kindness and perseverance, but … Elder sister, not everyone in this palace is as lucky as you, do you understand? "
"Xuande?" Rong'er, seeing Xuande act like this, suddenly felt at a loss for words.
Xuande gently smiled and shook her head, "It's nothing big sister, Xuande loves you the most in this palace. To be able to become sisters with you, Xuande is very happy."
"Xuande, thank you!" Somewhere in the depths of Rong'er's heart, she seemed to understand something, but she didn't want to think about it too deeply.
Looking at Rong'er's clean and clear eyes, Xuande softly sighed in her heart: "That pair of eyes are absolutely pure and absolutely ashamed. She envied him, truly envied him. Rong'er could keep her kindness and her faith, but that was because the emperor doted on her and protected her. She wanted others to be as kind as her. Xuande knew that she was envious of her, but she wasn't jealous of her. She knew that she had appeared at the emperor's side ten years before him, and that ten years of companionship was all she had today. This … She deserved it. If possible, she hoped to be by the side of the Emperor ten years ago. At that time, they might be able to fight for it, but now, it was too difficult. Ten years … She was deeply embedded in the Emperor's heart. And she didn't regret that she killed Lee Anzhu, because she wanted to protect herself. Without the emperor's protection, she had to protect herself, so she … "I won't regret it …"
