All these years, my life has been very peaceful, and I can't really say how happy I am, but it is also true that I am very calm. This long distance marriage of Rong Xian is indeed the most difficult period for me these years, and I never thought that the Emperor would arrange a northern patrol for the sake of allowing me to meet Xian Er. Happy …
Rong Xian had been married for more than a month, Rong'er had been accompanying Jia Ping everyday, but his condition had not improved at all, and he was still hugging his pillow and reciting Yin's name. Seeing Jia Ping still be like this despite being so young, Rong'er couldn't help but feel pain in his heart.
On this day, Yin Zhi came to pay his respects to Rong Xian.
As the mother and son were chatting, Yin Zhi said, "Imperial Mother, while I was chatting with the Crown Prince, he mentioned about royal sister. According to him, I wanted to visit him."
"Oh?" Rong Xian looked at Yin Zhi in shock, "The Emperor only patrolled the borders in May, and Xian Er only married in June. The Emperor can't be planning to patrol the north again, right?"
"It's summer already, I will just take it as me leaving the palace to take shelter! mother, now that you have left, you have lost a lot of weight. " Yin Zhi said with concern.
"It's getting hot, so I can't eat anymore. Have you been busy with your homework recently?"
"I am not busy, this son has already taken care of some government matters with big brother and the crown prince, this son only hopes to learn some things to help imperial father share the worries!" Yin Zhi said sensibly.
Looking at his son's young face, Rong'er nodded slightly gloomily, "Next year, you will be 16 years old. You should get married and go to a branch family. You should also leave the palace soon."
"mother!" Yin Zhi called out to Rong'er in a light voice.
"Nothing, mother is happy!" Rong'er smiled, "The crown prince hasn't been here for some time. How is he?"
"It's quite good, the imperial father has handed over a lot of government affairs to the Crown Prince, he is usually very busy learning how to handle court affairs, he has always said that he wants to come and see the mother." Yin Zhi comforted Rong'er softly.
"About Imperial Concubine Ping's sickness... Does the crown prince know? " Rong'er asked hesitantly.
mother ordered for the crown prince to not be allowed to visit Imperial Concubine Ping. He said that it was inconvenient and the crown prince had told me several times, mother, what exactly is the disease in Imperial Concubine Ping? Yin Zhi asked curiously.
"This …" Rong'er awkwardly avoided Yin Zhi's inquiring gaze, "It's exactly what your imperial father told you. After Yin passed away, her heart was filled with anxiety, and her blood and Qi were weak, making her weak and sickly. Think about it, although the Imperial Concubine Ping is your imperial father's concubine, she's around the same age as the crown prince.
"mother is right." Yin Zhi nodded, "This son will advise the crown prince."
Rong Xian nodded his head, "Yin Zhi, the crown prince is respected, there are people all around, and it is hard to avoid hearing the gossip of others. You are his little brother in law, you have to help him with his problems."
"This is how the mother taught me since I was young. I will engrave this into my heart and work hard." Yin Zhi nodded.
Before dinner, Xiao Qing came over to inform Rong'er that there was news from the royal kitchen. The emperor ordered for some sumptuous dishes to be prepared tonight and sent to the Yanxi Palace. Rong'er thought that the emperor must be in a good mood after hearing this. Although the number of times the emperor had sent her to bed had decreased over the years, he would often find opportunities to accompany her. When he was in a good mood, he wouldn't forget her.
During dinner time, Xuan Ye punctually came over, and upon entering the house, he said with a face full of smiles: "Rong'er, Xian Er has written a letter!"
"Ah?" "Really?" Ever since Rong Xian had gotten married, she had been looking forward to see him every single day. She only wished for Xian Er to tell her about her current situation as soon as possible.
Xuan Ye took out the letter from his sleeve and opened it. In the letter, Rong Xian had only reported his safety and told him about the placement of the marriage entourage, but the words revealed a sense of happiness and joy. Rong'er saw his daughter's letter and felt a lot happier.
"Haha!" We were just planning to patrol the north when Xian Er's letter arrived. " Xuan Ye laughed.
Rong'er raised his head and laughed, "Your concubine heard from Yin Zhi today, the emperor intends to patrol the north again."
"Ha!" We just mentioned it to Yin Zhi yesterday, and Yin Zhi already knew about it. From the looks of it, Yin Reng is telling Yin Zhi everything! " Xuan Ye laughed.
"Our crown prince does not have such a big mouth, it's just that this is a matter that concerns Xian Er, so he would naturally tell Zhi Er as well." Rong'er hurriedly tried to defend himself.
"Ha, are you afraid that we will say that the Crown Prince and Yin Zhi are allies? "I am just saying that I would love to see the princes get along with one another!" Xuan Ye chuckled.
"Your Majesty, didn't you just return from the north in May? Aren't we planning to go to the Spring Garden for the summer vacation this year? Why did it become a northern patrol? Could he be missing Rong Xian? " Rong'er wanted to tease Xuan Ye.
"Who said that!?" My North Patrol is doing this because... That... "There are a lot of things in the north, I have to ask more personally!" Xuan Ye argued.
"Alright, Your Majesty, you don't miss Xian Er, is that okay? But chenqie truly has thought of it. " Rong'er smiled as he asked, "Can this concubine go with the emperor?"
"Rong'er!" Do you think I don't know anything? Your eyes have been crying so much this past month that you almost went blind secretly! " Xuan Ye smiled as he walked to Rong'er's side, and gently pulled Rong'er into his embrace, "Why do you think we want to patrol the north? We just want you to personally go and see your daughter."
"Your Majesty …" Rong'er gratefully looked at Xuan Ye.
"I only have one request, agree to my request!" Xuan Ye looked down at Rong'er and said gently.
"Your majesty, you've treated chenqie so well, you've agreed to anything you want!" Rong'er hurriedly nodded and said.
"After we travel to the North, you are not to cry anymore. It's too bad your body is injured. If you see Rong Xian's healthy and happy life, you need to live a happy life after you return!" Xuan Ye said gently.
"Your Majesty …" Large drops of tears fell uncontrollably from Rong'er's eyes. She really didn't expect that the Emperor would still care about her the same way he did that year.
"Look at you! This Emperor made you promise not to cry, but now you're crying again!" Xuan Ye smiled as he gently wiped away Rong'er's tears, "Ai! We are old husband and wife. Look at us, we are still like young girls. "
Hearing Xuan Ye's words, Rong'er couldn't help but laugh lightly. He buried his face in Xuan Ye's chest, as if he hadn't been this happy in a long time!
Xuan Ye said softly, "This time, we plan to bring all the older princes and princes with us. We will let Yin Reng stay in the capital to handle the court affairs."
"Your majesty, the Crown Prince is very outstanding. When you were on patrol in the fifth month, things in the capital were half done and half done." Rong'er smiled as she left Xuan Ye's side and poured him a cup of cold tea.
"That's right!" I am very gratified that the Crown Prince has lived up to his expectations! "I am not disappointed, but actually speaking, I am very satisfied with these children of mine. Yin Ti is capable and wise, Yin Zhi has both martial arts and literature, Yin Zhen is reserved and prudent, Yin Qi is filial and obedient, Yin You is obedient and obedient, Yin Si is clever and modest, we are very pleased!"
"That's right, the Emperor is so wise and mighty, naturally, the prince will not be weak as well!" Rong'er nodded in agreement.
