When the Emperor brought her back from Jiangnan that year, he should have already had this in his heart. I don't have any ideas, but Jamie is a very sweet and clever girl, so this is her fortune. In addition to the crown prince's favor for Wanying, I was worried that what happened would not happen after all.
"This humble girl greets the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine Rong!" This son pays respects to imperial father and Mother Rong! " In the Imperial Garden, Wang Jiami and Duan Jing paid respects to Xuan Ye and Rong'er.
"Please rise!" Xuan Ye laughed gently, "The sky is clear, the zither music is melodious, our imperial garden is truly an elegant place!"
"Your Majesty is too kind!" Wang Jiami smiled sweetly as her cheeks flushed red.
Seeing the blush on Wang Jiami's beautiful face, Xuan Ye's heart was moved, "In two days, we will be making our rounds in Guinea. Are you willing to follow us?"
"This humble girl is willing." Wang Jiami replied softly.
Duan Jing glanced at Rong'er, who smiled back at her. Actually, Wang Jiami would have gotten the emperor's favor sooner or later, all the women in the palace knew that. If not for Empress Xioayi's death that year, she would not have waited this long.
Xuan Ye's attention was all on Wang Jiami, he smiled at her: "Continue playing, I have time today, I'll take a walk in the imperial garden with Imperial Concubine Rong, and we can enjoy the music of Lady Wang."
The sound of the zither was faint in the imperial garden, but everyone had their own thoughts.
After the Emperor returned to the capital, Wang Jiami was officially granted a secret agreement, and continued to stay in the Chengqian Palace.
In the empress dowager's palace, Tong Xiushan and Imperial Concubine De came to visit the empress dowager.
"Wang Jiami, a Chinese female emperor, actually gave her a promise! Your Majesty has completely forgotten the words of the Old Ancestor. " Her Majesty sighed heavily.
"Old ancestor, your secret promise isn't the first Chinese woman to be bestowed the title of emperor. Didn't you previously say that Yuan Zhou was also a Chinese?" Tong Xiushan smiled and advised.
"That's different! At least, Yuan Zhou had promised to give her the wrapped flag, but what about Wang Jiami? This is a completely Chinese woman! " The empress dowager said indignantly, "The old ancestor is no more, I'm not the emperor's mother, so I can't control the emperor! In the past, the Old Ancestor strictly ordered the Chinese women not to become concubines, but the Emperor … Sigh! If the Old Ancestor were in his right mind, she would be angry! " The Empress continued.
"Empress Dowager, have you ever spoken to the Emperor?" The Imperial Concubine De asked with a smile.
"Yes! Of course I did! When I heard that the Emperor wanted to give the Zither Master the title of agreeing, I immediately sent people to find the Emperor, but the Emperor said that the world is unified now, and the Han is of the utmost importance. As the Emperor, if he doesn't accept the Han Nu in the imperial palace, how could he convince the masses? Her Majesty shook her head and sighed.
"Empress Dowager, Wang Jiami has always lived in Chenqie's palace. According to Chenqie's understanding, she has a natural disposition of a tranquil person, and does not ask for much, only a calm mind to pass the day. The Emperor is infatuated with her beauty, so the Old Ancestor does not need to be too worried, lest his body get hurt." Tong Xiushan smiled and advised.
"Sigh!" Oh, Xiushan! If your sister could have such a half-hearted attitude, her body wouldn't be so weak, and she wouldn't die early, let alone let this white-haired man send the black haired man away! " The Empress Dowager looked at Tong Xiushan benevolently and sighed softly.
"Yes, Xiu Shan has a good character, her teaching of children is good enough, Thirteenth Prince Yin Xiang is obedient and sensible, and Yin Zhen views her as his family, and visits them often." Imperial Concubine De replied with a smile.
Tong Xiushan heard and frowned, "Speaking of Yin Zhen, my heart truly hurts, he was brought up by big sister, and after big sister passed away, he started to dislike talking, but luckily he has a calm personality, so he got along well with the prince." As she spoke, she suddenly laughed, "And Yin Xiang likes him even more. Whenever he sees him, Yin Xiang would walk around like his little shadow."
All these years after entering the palace, she had only given birth to a single princess, who even passed away early on. She was sincere towards these two children, and luckily these two children of hers, Xiu Ning, were not pampered for nothing and were very filial. The empress dowager sighed with emotion.
Now that Yin Zhen sees her as a stranger, her, mother, was truly troubled. However, with a smile, she spoke with a tone full of grievance and not blame, "That's right, I, mother, am extremely envious of Yin Zhen's filial piety."
The empress dowager gave a light nod. "That's right, it's also thanks to your understanding. Back then, the first child was taught to Xiu-Ning to raise her, and I know that she often forbade you two to meet each other. After all, everyone has your own selfish motives.
"The empress dowager praises you too much!" After all, Yin Zhen had gained the trust of Xiu Ning, Xiu Shan, and the empress dowager. With Wen Xian being raised in the empress dowager's palace, she could rely on the empress dowager.
The empress dowager was indignant, "Not like that Imperial Concubine Rong, where Yin Zhi had wanted to let Xiu Ning raise him back then, but the emperor had definitely not agreed to it. But that's good too, Imperial Concubine Rong's children could only be raised by her, she had worked hard to raise them back then, but they all died a long time ago, all because of the Imperial Concubine Rong!"
The Imperial Concubine De chuckled. "Esteemed Empress Dowager, didn't you say that it was a rumor? Why did you keep it in your heart?"
"Sigh!" I just don't understand what kind of virtue and ability the Imperial Concubine Rong has to be able to make the old ancestor and the emperor fall in love with him. In terms of being virtuous and virtuous, the women in this palace have great virtue, including XiuNing and Xiushan, the Imperial Concubine De, and Yi Erfei … "She must know some bewitching arts, which is why the emperor doted on her for twenty years and didn't weaken." The empress dowager's voice was filled with resentment.
"Empress Dowager, Imperial Concubine Rong also didn't receive special favors from the Emperor. Didn't Big Sister De give birth to six children? It was you who was prejudiced against Imperial Concubine Rong. Actually, she's pretty good." Although Xiushan entered the palace late, she had heard her sister speak of the Empress Dowager's knot in her heart, so she comforted her softly.
The empress dowager nodded. "That's true, how could she have been pampered like that? If Dong and E had lived a few more years, would he really have pampered her for the rest of her life? It was because of her short life that she obtained all of Ex-Emperor's feelings. It was just like the Imperial Concubine Rong. Back then, when he had just entered the palace, the Emperor had liked her a lot. Your Majesty is the Emperor, and this one should understand. After all, this one believes in the Buddha, and should be considered a good friend. " The empress dowager lightly nodded.
"The empress dowager is kind, I hope Imperial Concubine Rong understands the empress dowager's painstaking efforts!" Imperial Concubine De replied with a smile.
The empress dowager lightly shook her head and looked towards Xiushan. "Since that zither master has already become the emperor's woman, Xiushan will have to put in a lot of effort to teach him manners. After all, this Chinese woman doesn't understand the rules of our banner men. You need to teach her more."
"Chenqie will do her best." Xiu Shan replied with a smile.
Half a month later, Wang Jiami was diagnosed as being pregnant and it had been three years since his last wife was pregnant. Therefore, Xuan Ye was especially happy and he gave her a generous reward.
