Rong'er thought to himself, "Xiu-Ning has passed away. The atmosphere in the palace is sad. It's just that the people who are still alive have to continue living …" The story of the harem was simple and dull. It was far less earth-shattering than the story of the emperor's imperial court …

Inside the Qianqing Palace, the candle flame flickered gently. Rong'er sat silently, looking at Xuan Ye who was buried in the table, with his head lowered all the while.

It had been more than ten days since Tong Xiu Tong passed away. Three days after he had stopped at Qianqing Palace's coffin, Tong Xiu Ning was moved to the Royal Palace outside Chao Yang Hall to receive the and Chinese and foreign envoys' condolences.

Besides Yin Zhen and Yin Xiang, he did not see anyone else. The emperor had shown mercy to the Tong Family and bestowed Tong Guowei the title of a first-rate official, he did not take any responsibility from Tong Guowei. A few days ago, Xuan Ye officially named Soo Ning as "Empress Xioayi".

Rong'er watched as Xuan Ye became lost in thought. Ever since Xiu Ning passed away, the Emperor had somewhat spread the news to her, but it was always the same whenever he came. She would silently accompany him, and Xuan Ye would also do his own things.

Rong'er admitted that she was completely unable to guess what the emperor in front of her was thinking now. She didn't know what he was thinking, and she didn't know if he was happy or not.

"Imperial Concubine Rong, is there dirt on our face?" Xuan Ye suddenly raised his head and looked at Rong'er.

Rong'er hurriedly returned to his senses and lightly shook his head. "No, chenqie is only thinking that it would be very difficult for chenqie to guess the thoughts of the emperor."

"My thoughts?" Xuan Ye muttered, as he slowly walked towards Rong'er, and said with a low voice, "Imperial Concubine Rong, trying to deduce the sacred intent is a capital offense! Don't you know? "

"This concubine dares not, please forgive me, Your Majesty!" Rong'er also stood up, fearlessly saying.

"Sit down." Xuan Ye made Rong'er sit down, and then sat on the warm brick bed on the other side. "Rong'er, don't talk about you, even we don't know what you're thinking!"

The palace maid sent his official there. Xuan Ye took a sip of tea and indicated for the palace maid to step down, then said slowly: "The entire imperial court wants to know our thoughts, whoever knows my thoughts, will do what I like, instead of doing what I should do."

Xuan Ye sighed lightly and continued, "Being an Overlord is most afraid of letting others see through your thoughts. Rong'er, I have been an Overlord for almost 30 years, do you think I have any ability to hide my thoughts?"

"Chenqie understands that it isn't easy for the emperor." Rong'er nodded lightly.

Xuan Ye put down his teacup, his gaze a little lost, "But, Rong'er, I sometimes really do feel like I don't know what we're thinking, that there's nothing that can make us happy, or make us sad." Xuan Ye shook his head bitterly, "Perhaps being an emperor for too long, he has also hidden it from me."

"Wrong, the emperor has no mind. How can he make so many decisions in the imperial court?" "It's just that the emperor's intentions have already become the Emperor's self-confidence." For some reason, Rong'er's mind suddenly flashed with the scene of telling her to kill Ao Bai. Back then, he was still so exposed, but now, he had hidden himself very deeply.

Xuan Ye laughed bitterly, "Actually, I do not know either. Let's not talk about this, in two days, we will be patrolling the north."

"North Patrol?" Rong'er was shocked. Rong'er knew that Xuan Ye would usually have to leave the palace for the summer, but this year, Empress Xioayi had just passed away.

"Rong'er, the north is not peaceful." Xuan Ye said softly, "I am very sad that Xiu Ning passed away. On one hand, it was to relax my mind. Just a few days ago, Songgotu received news that he had already signed the Nebuchu Treaty with Russia in Yaksha and Great Qing Province. However, Gerdan is not at peace in the Northwest, we will take a look at the people, and then think about what we should do next. "

Rong'er nodded lightly. "Then your majesty, you have to pay attention to your body. Don't be too rigid."

Xuan Ye smiled slightly, "We will. "Yes, I will be back a hundred days ago."

"The empress dowager's health hasn't been too good recently either. XiuNing was very upset when she passed away." Rong'er said with a hint of sadness in his voice.

"That's right, I originally wanted to bring mother on a tour to the north. It's in the middle of summer and it's too hot in the palace, but mother was unwilling, so I had no choice." Xuan Ye sighed, "Rong'er, right now, in the palace, you are the oldest. You have to help Imperial Consort Wen take care of the harem."

"Your majesty, don't worry." Rong'er nodded in agreement.

"Yes, you've never let me down." Xuan Ye looked at Rong'er warmly, and after a long while, he stood up and walked to the side of the desk, saying as he walked, "We have a few poems here that we wrote to Yi Feifei together with our subjects. Take a look."

Rong'er stood up and took the poem from Xuan Ye's hands.

Moon cover pepper palace sigh farewell, hurt the beginning of night insect sadness.

Tears add to the thousands of lines, love cut autumn light with worry.

Yan Duanhun's voice had died down and the fish had sunk into the deep blue sea.

Worry does not solve the heart of the dream, melancholy to promote the memory of the past.

According to the clear example, the empress's great trip, the officials of Han Lin Courtyard and the emperor all wanted to write an elegy. This poem was already filled with sorrow. As they looked at the other poems in their hands, their sorrow and regret were fully expressed.

Xuan Ye said bitterly: "We still like these poems and they are very expressive. We were the first to meet. Since young, I have often met with her. I also know that she was chosen as my concubine by my birth mother. "That's why I love her, but I don't know whether it's because of the pain I feel for my sister or my concubine. No matter what, Rong'er, I can say this, I treat her the best in this palace, and I've never once been angry with her."

On one hand, it was because the Tong Family's influence was too great. On the other hand, Xiu Ning held the highest position in the palace, and was doted upon by the empress dowager. Thus, she had not suffered any grievances in the palace.

Xuan Ye laughed bitterly, "But I also know that when Xiu Ning was still alive, she did not have a good time. "Xiu-Ning would often ask me some difficult questions, and I would always choose to avoid them. I know that I have indirectly harmed her." Xuan Ye sighed lightly, "In the days when Xiu Ning was gone, I realized that I really missed her. Thinking about her willfulness since she was young and her weak body since she was young, I feel very pained in my heart. I know that no matter if it's my little sister or my concubine, she's still my close relative."

She had always known that Xuan Ye was not a heartless person and as she watched Xuan Ye, who was currently in a daze, Rong'er sighed softly in her heart. All these years, she had been conflicted over whether it was the relationship between a man and a woman that the emperor treated her with respect, or whether it was the brotherhood of someone from the Tong Family. At least, what Xuan Ye had done for her was an absolute, 100% "true love".

Two days later, Xuan Ye rang the bell and began her inspection of the northern borders.

Honestly speaking, no matter how I analyzed and thought about it, it would be difficult to deduce that Kang Xi loves Xiao Yi the most. There are actually a lot of people who support filial piety, and the most important evidence would be those four poems.

The reason why Kang Xi did not have that much of an attachment to Xiu Ning was because after she died for 21 days, Kang Xi had toured the north. In fact, at that time, the north had just signed the Nebuchu Treaty and Gerdan did not want to fight her. So the only reason was because of Kang Xi's usual practice, which was to "go out during the summer to take shelter". In fact, during the summer, Kang Xi rarely stayed at the Forbidden Palace.

At that time, Xiu Ning was still in her coffin at the Chaoyang Sect's palace. This was her last chance to meet with him. If she truly had deep feelings for him, she should have made the best use of this time to frequently go to see him for the last time.

This is only a brief description. In the future, you will see it in detail, expressing your personal views. People who support Kang Xi's most filial and filial love, don't be angry, thank you!
