Rong'er thought to himself: When the imperial edict was read out, I was still shocked and surprised. Perhaps I really did not expect that after the emperor was established in this kind of situation, I knew that after the imperial concubine was appointed, it would be undeniable. Whether it was her character or her blood relatives, they both made the imperial emperor value them even more. Could this position of Empress be a little too late for the sickly Yi Fei?
On the eighth day of the seventh month of the 28th year, Kangxi discovered that although the sky wasn't raining, it had always been very gloomy. Just by standing at the entrance of the Cheng Gan Palace, one could feel a kind of extremely strange and heavy atmosphere. There were six or seven imperial doctors waiting in the courtyard for him to report to them.
Rong'er only stood at the entrance of the palace for a short period of time. The young eunuch on guard duty asked if he should send it over. Rong'er lightly shook her head with furrowed brows, leading Xiaoqing out again.
"Mistress, what's wrong?" Didn't you say that you want to see the Imperial Noble Concubine Yi? " Xiaoqing asked, puzzled.
Rong'er halted her steps. She didn't know why, but she actually felt that she couldn't enter this entrance today. She lightly shook her head and said, "Looking at this scene, I'm afraid that Yi Fei's illness is getting worse. At this time, the only thing I can do is fill in the mess."
"Rong'er closed his eyes and sighed as he lifted his head." Go to Imperial Concubine De and have a look, I haven't been there for a long time. "
At this moment, the entire Yonghe Palace was filled with laughter. Inside the warm house in Imperial Concubine De, fourteen years old Ah Ge Yin and the little princess Wen Ke, who was two months older than him, were having fun, while the Imperial Concubine De and the noble were laughing happily around two kids.
Rong'er sat down and said sincerely, "There are a lot of kids in the palace who really feel lively. Since the year before last, Yin You also stayed at Brother's place. I feel a lot more lonely."
"Elder sister Rong, this year is really strange. It seems like you rarely come here to visit. It's only a matter of a few steps before you move to my palace. If there's nothing else, then come here often." The Imperial Concubine De said passionately. Ever since Yin Zhenjun was born, Imperial Concubine De had been in a good mood. In fact, the Emperor had been giving him less and less happiness these past two years.
"I wonder if he's really old and doesn't like to move anymore." Rong'er laughed, then said: "I was planning to go to Imperial Noble Concubine Yi to have a look, but seeing that there are more doctors, I thought I was sick, so I didn't go in."
"Yes, it's heavy. I went to see it in the morning." The Imperial Concubine De nodded.
"Sister Rong, you didn't go in? The Emperor should be in there too. I saw that the atmosphere in the palace was not very good, so I brought Wen Ke with me. " Noble Min said somewhat sorrowfully.
"What about Yin Xiang?" Rong'er suddenly thought of something, "Is it still being taken care of by Yi Feifei now?"
"Although I said that it was Imperial Concubine Yi who was looking after him, in reality, it was Xiushan who was looking after him. Yin Xiang also likes Xiushan. I can go see him but I can't bring him out." Noble Min smiled faintly and gave Rong'er a sincere smile.
After Chang Le saved His Majesty, the temperament of the noble changed, or perhaps, it could be said that Rong'er thought that she was more genuine. It was unknown why she kept her temper that year, but after she gave birth to a child and a woman, her smile became more genuine, and the current her gave people a feeling that she wanted to get close to her.
"The imperial edict has arrived!" Following the loud cry of a eunuch, the palace maid, Xiu Ping, who had followed the Imperial Concubine De for many years, hurriedly entered the house.
"Mistress!" "The palace of the Internal Affairs Bureau has come to announce the decree, asking all concubines in the palace to gather in the courtyard." Xiu Ping hurriedly said.
Rong-er and Min-Consort came out of the house, and when they saw that their father-in-law was a counselor, they asked if they needed to leave.
The counselor hurriedly replied, "Rongzi and Young Master Min can listen to the decree together. The decree will be read out once in each palace."
By the benevolent edict of Her Majesty the Empress Dowager, the Imperial Consort Tong, filial piety and filial piety, grace and grace, and the preparation of a great service for the care of all of the children, all of them gathered together. They were now in great danger, and in the depths of their hearts they were in great danger, and they established themselves as emperors to express themselves as emperors, leading the ladies and concubines of the hareigns from now on, to listen to their teachings, to their words and deeds, and to show respect for them.
When the consultant loudly announced the decree, Rong'er was truly shocked. This was too unexpected; there wasn't even the slightest forewarning. She was dazed for three to four seconds before realizing that the surrounding people were just as stunned as she was. She hurriedly led the group to kneel and said, "Chenqie accepts the decree." Imperial Concubine De and the rest also knelt down.
After the counselor left, Rong'er and the others stood up, but Rong'er's mind was still a little muddled. She remembered that the emperor had once said that he would not reinstate his concubine, but now he had reinstated his concubine …
"Imperial Concubine Yi, this disease will affect a queen." Imperial Concubine De suddenly said in a faint voice, "Sigh! Imperial Concubine Yi is after all, related to the Emperor by blood. "
Rong'er shook his head lightly. "It seems like it will be really difficult for Yi Fei to hold on this time."
"I didn't expect the Emperor to be so interested as well." "No one in our palace doesn't know how much Imperial Noble Concubine Yi wishes to become empress, but the emperor hasn't given it to her. Even if we can give it to her this time … I think Imperial Concubine Yi is satisfied. "
"Does being a descendant matter more than life?" In fact, she already knew the answer.
"Isn't elder sister well aware of this? To the women in our palace, this last position is more important than anything else. Obtaining her would mean obtaining the most important thing in the world. Imperial Concubine De said bitterly, "But, she is still a woman with a bitter life. She is so sick, does she even have a chance to enjoy it?"
Rong'er's heart was a little sour as well. "Let's go and take a look at the Imperial Concubine Yi. Let's pay respects as well."
"Sure." The Imperial Concubine De nodded and gave the orders for the palace maids to take care of Little Brother, while Mignon went back to the palace with Windy in her arms.
There was no joy of being newly conferred a title in Cheng Gan Palace, there was only anxiety on the faces of the people. There were a few eunuchs guarding the entrance of the palace who seemed to have been sent over by the internal department temporarily. When they saw Rong'er and the rest coming over, they hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully, "The empress dowager has sent an imperial decree that Yi Fei is seriously ill and isn't really suitable for a visit. Young masters, please return to the palace."
Rong'er and the rest did not want to make things difficult for the Palace Mistress, as they turned to leave, they suddenly heard Xiu Shan's shout from behind them, "Imperial Concubine Rong, Imperial Concubine De!"
Turning his head to look, he saw that Xiushan's face was haggard and her eyes were red. She must have been crying.
"Xiushan!" Imperial Concubine Yi, wait, how is the empress now? " Rong'er hurriedly asked.
Xiushan shook her head as tears suddenly rolled down her cheeks. "Not good, not good at all!"
"Don't cry!" Rong'er gently stepped forward and embraced Tong Xiushan, "Don't worry, a wise man has his own destiny. Even if you're in a hurry, it's useless!"
Xiushan nodded. "Today, I can't eat anything, so I don't want to." The emperor had come to visit his elder sister, but later made the decree for his elder sister to be the Empress … Elder sister still has consciousness... "She's smiling …" Xiushan's voice was choked with sobs and she spoke in a staccato manner.
Rong'er lightly patted the back of Xiushan's heart. She didn't know what to say. Now, it really seemed like a time to resign herself to fate. "Can you go in and see the Queen?"
Xiushan shook her head. "The imperial physicians are all inside. I won't let them in."
"Then let's go, come to my room and have a seat. A few days ago, Rongxian went to the hospital to get me some calming tea. You have to drink some too. The empress can't leave you now, you have to be strong!" Rong'er gently held onto Xiushan's hand. At this moment, Xiushan looked so helpless and frail.
Xiushan nodded and followed Rong'er out of the palace, heading for the Yanshui Palace.
In the morning of the next day, Imperial Noble Concubine Yi Tong Xiu Ning's edict was officially announced to the world. Due to the fact that Imperial Concubine Yi was bedridden, the bestowal ceremony was postponed to a later date. According to etiquette, Rong'er and the rest should pay their respects to the new Empress, but Tong Xiu Ning was unconscious for the entire day.
