This was the imperial palace. No one should think too highly of themselves, and no one should think that they could obtain all the sincerity of the emperor. Even if I had been in the palace for more than twenty years and often received sweet words from the emperor by my ear, no one would dare to say that I am the most important person in the emperor's heart … Only in this way can we see through everything and live a healthy and happy life.
Xuan Ye had pampered Yuan Yi during the filial mourning period, and Xuan Ye was in an extremely depressed mood after drinking the wine. On one hand, he felt that he had violated his own oath to be filial, but on the other hand, he had always wanted to find a good marriage for Yuan Yi, and now that Yuan Yi had given him such muddled favors, he felt guilty about Yuan Yi.
Xuan Ye didn't have the heart to keep Yuan Yi at the Palace. Since he was close with Rong'er and had fewer disciples in the Palace, he had arranged for Yuan Yi to stay at the Palace.
On the day that Yuan Yi moved to the Palace, he was supposed to pay his respects to Rong'er first. Yuan Yi's expression was light, but it didn't show any particular joy.
"Congratulations!" Rong'er said with a faint smile.
"Imperial Concubine Rong, is that what you meant?" Yuan Yi raised his head and looked at Rong'er with a resolute expression.
This expression caused Rong'er to be slightly startled, as she had not seen this expression on Yuan Yi Man for a long time. It was like when she first saw Yuan Yi Ren's expression when she was wholeheartedly declaring her grievances for her father. Rong'er laughed lightly, shook her head and said, "Your question is disrespectful to me, do you know? However, I don't mind. [Isn't there a difference between their sincerity and their sincerity?] I don't know if I should congratulate you, the Emperor favored you, you will have a lifetime of wealth, but you also chose a lifetime of loneliness. "Lone."
"Imperial Concubine Rong, you are lonely. "Lonely?" Yuan Yi raised his head to look at Rong'er.
Rong'er's heart trembled, but she remained silent. Lonely? This was a question that no one had ever asked her before. There were too many people in this palace who were very quiet. Lonely, like concubines, concubines, more like those small promises, which is not lonely. Lonely? Rong'er gently raised his head, his eyes bright. "I have been in this harem for more than twenty years, and have accompanied Your Majesty's longest concubine, as well as the person who has seen His Majesty the most. Lonely. In short, I just want to tell you, do not expect too much, learn to be silent. "Lonely, this way, you will be happy. After all, you were the one who chose this path."
Yuan Yi raised her eyebrows and replied: "This servant will listen to Imperial Concubine Rong's teachings."
After Yuan Yi left, Su Ya, who was standing beside Rong'er, said in a soft voice, "I don't know if Little Master Yuan understands, but she lost out and came to the Palace."
"That's right!" Xiaoqing replied, "When I think about the Venerable Lord Chang, everyone hates Yuan Yi for breaking into the palace. She's also a Chinese woman, so if she went to another palace, she would definitely be ostracized by everyone."
Rong'er laughed lightly, "Don't talk about all this nonsense, have you prepared all the things I need for you to make up for it? Imperial Concubine Hui has been ill for so long and I haven't recovered yet. I'm really worried about her. "
"I'm ready. Let's see when Master leaves." Little Qing hurriedly replied.
"Alright, I'll come out now!" Rong'er nodded. Rong'er knew that the Imperial Concubine Hui had a heart attack.
In February this year, Lord Ming Zhu was shot by the ministers. The officials called her a high-ranking official, she was a party seller, and Ku Xiu, the head of the imperial government, had accused her of eight great crimes, aiming to put the pearl to death. At that time, when the emperor was thinking about the achievements she had done in the past, he could not bear the heavy responsibility and had only stripped her of her position as a university scholar and made her a minister, while the other members of the imperial party, Yu Guozhu, Ke Kun and Fu Lun, were dismissed from their positions. This matter severely injured the position of the Na Lama Clan in the imperial court. Imperial Concubine Hui's family members repeatedly sent word to the palace, making the Imperial Concubine Hui have a good word with the Emperor.
The Imperial Concubine Hui had a calm personality and had no intention to get involved in the affairs of the imperial court. As the Imperial Concubine Hui and Rong'er were of similar age and had lived in the harem for more than twenty years, they trusted each other, so they chose to share the pain and suffering in their hearts with Rong'er, hoping that he would help her advise the Emperor. I also don't like the relationship between the later concubine and His Majesty. As a woman of the emperor, no one would listen to the rumors and Imperial Concubine Hui would agree to help, but she was worried that the young Yin Wei would cause trouble, as he and Ming Zhu's relationship did not get along well with one another. As a result, he had been sick for more than a month.
Fortunately, Yuan Yi still showed up in the palace. When Rong'er went to explore the Imperial Concubine Hui, the Imperial Concubine Wen also came to see her, and when they talked about Yuan Yi, they couldn't help but look down on her, after all, a Chinese was originally someone they didn't like, but now that they were favored by him, they felt that they were too scheming, and the Imperial Concubine De of Yonghe Palace had an expression of anticipation.
Yuan Yi had entered the Palace, but not a single person liked her. No one from the other palaces had befriended her, except for the Spirit of the Palace and Lu Song, who agreed to be friendly with her. For Yuan Yiren, what she experienced was perhaps not only loneliness. Lonely, and the hostility of others.
A month later, she was diagnosed to be pregnant, and Rong'er went to see her. Yuan Yi looked at Rong'er and said softly: "Imperial Concubine Rong, if others admit to it, if others respect the Emperor, they will swear to the people that you have never thought of using schemes against the Emperor. Do you believe in me?"
Rong'er looked at her with a smile. "This is the first time you've received such a gift." "If you are pregnant, come ask me if there is anything you don't understand. I will have the palace take care of you and take care of your pregnancy so that your child can be born healthy."
"Imperial Concubine Rong?" Rong-er did not answer her question.
Rong'er laughed softly and said, "Based on that phrase, it doesn't matter if you believe me or not. What matters is what you do yourself. "Another thing, let me tell you, all the women who have children in this palace are considered lucky, so you must let them be born healthy."
"Imperial Concubine Rong, after that night, I never saw the Emperor again. Now that I have a child, isn't it obvious that the Emperor won't come to see me?"
Looking at her, he felt his heart ache. "You now understand why I said I don't know whether to congratulate you or not? "It's not that a woman who becomes the Emperor will be doted upon by the Emperor, it's just that this is the palace."
"I... It can't be that you won't be able to see the Emperor again, right? " Yuan Yi's eyes became moist, "If that's the case, then I might as well be a mere palace maid, and live to see the light of day. "Meeting with the Emperor in the morning."
"Esteemed wangfei, the empress dowager passed away in mourning for twenty-seven months, but the emperor doted on you in the middle and blamed himself as well. Take good care of yourself, I'll ask the emperor to come see you once I see the emperor." Rong'er consoled him softly.
"Imperial Concubine Rong, I'm somewhat regretful now … "Relying on myself doesn't require any wealth. I just want to be with the emperor for a long time …" Yuan Yi's tears fell. "But from now on, it really seems like it'll be difficult for her to see the emperor again …"
Rong'er bent down. "Don't worry too much, it might not be that bad. Perhaps you're important to the emperor, and the emperor will miss you. Carry your body, don't think too much about sad things."
They thought that once she fell in love with that man and became that man's woman, she would leave him with the most important position in his heart. They were wrong, the relationship between women and men was not that simple. Thus, Rong'er knew very well that there wasn't a single person in the Emperor's heart who was like Yuan Yi …
