The king thought of his mother hurt, and the title of mother entered the throne;

Love is the heart of Emperor Rong'er, who only dotes on beauties looking forward to the future.

The empress dowager had personally come to visit Gai Rong'er, and Rong'er could feel that the empress dowager's heart really ached. After all, this was his great-grandson, and he had contracted a disease in her palace, so Rong'er felt that he should not place more pain on this venerable elder. This, in turn, comforted the empress dowager, and Rui'er went to heaven to pray for his royal father and empress dowager.

As Rong'er began to eat, he became aware of the changes in his body. If Xuan Ye didn't have any important matters to take care of every night, he would go to Rong'er's chamber to take care of them personally. Right now, the imperial court was temporarily quiet, and Rong'er had just lost his son, so the empress dowager didn't object. She specifically ordered the empress to speak with the Imperial Concubine Zhao, the benefactor, and the two men in her palace, so that the empress would understand more about the emperor. Since the empress had to take care of Chengbai, she could not stay here for long with Rong'er, but would visit her everyday. Zhang Leyan and Yin Ruo Lan would occasionally come over, and Imperial Concubine Zhao also came over for a rare visit. Rong'er was a woman without children after all, so everyone was very polite to her and tried to comfort her.

Today, Xuan Ye appeared to be preoccupied with something, and Rong'er's illness was almost completely cured. Seeing the emperor constantly walking back and forth on the ground, occasionally looking up at the ceiling, Xuan Ye knew that he had something on his mind. He asked, "Your majesty, do you have something on your mind today?"

Xuan Ye nodded his head. "Say, Rong'er, in a few more days, it will be my birth mother's and Empress Dowager's funeral. I will put my first wife on the throne and raise her to the highest temple. After my mother's death, I will wait for her to ascend to the throne and never give her the official title. I can finally give my mother this title this year."

Rong'er asked, "Did the emperor miss Ci and the empress dowager?"

Xuan Ye smiled bitterly and said, "Rong'er, did you know? I am very young. "Since I was not by my mother's side and would occasionally see my mother, my mother's eyes would always be filled with sadness. Therefore, I have a very shallow impression of my mother, but I know that my mother is my closest family." Xuan Ye shook his head and continued, "Rong'er, my mother is not favored by the late emperor. She is unhappy. "When I ascended the throne at the age of six, I could finally see my mother often, and it was also the time for me to repay my mother's kindness for bearing children, and experience her kinship. However, my mother was very fortunate, and left me the second year after I ascended the throne. I remember that when my mother was sick, I was very sad, and served my mother myself every day. I was afraid that my eldest mother was no longer around, and I was really afraid."

"Your Majesty …" Rong'er walked over and gently embraced Xuan Ye.

Xuan Ye smiled and held Rong'er's hand, saying bitterly, "Did you know? When Cheng Rui got sick, Zhen had the same feeling again. To think that the fear of his loved ones leaving was so painful."

"Your Imperial Majesty, as the ruler of an empire, you may appear to be awe-inspiring and imposing, but the hearts of your subjects will still be filled with pain that your subjects do not know of." Rong'er said softly.

Xuan Ye nodded and said hesitantly, "Rong'er, I've made a mistake a while ago." Rong'er looked up at the emperor and asked with his eyes.

"Rui'er was very ill a while ago, and I got drunk in the palace. I actually doted on a palace maid." Xuan Ye lowered his head to look at Gai Rong'er and said with a wry smile, "I think of her as Rong'er."

"Huh?" Rong'er was very surprised, not because the emperor favored other palace maids, but because the emperor was actually so drunk on Rui'er's behalf. " "Your Majesty …"

Just as Rong'er was about to speak, Xuan Ye interrupted her. "Rong'er, do you know? When I was young, I often thought to myself, if royal father doesn't pamper my mother, why did he marry her into the palace? I think that when I grow up, I must not be like royal father. "But …" Xuan Ye painfully shook his head and said, "It's only now that I've become the emperor that I've discovered. As a sovereign, there are many things that I can't do, and I'm even more willing to do as I please by relying on my own throne. Zhang Ye promised that I needed too much warmth to help her, and Yin agreed that it was because he could make me happy that I favored him. "She needs to be treated. Even if I owe her a favor, it was because you were able to clear my heart and make me feel warm. But now, and also because I've destroyed her happiness with my own free will, I don't like her, but she's fated to stay in this palace for the rest of her life. What I can give her is only a title and something that I don't have to worry about."

"Your Majesty …" Rong'er didn't know how to comfort her. How could the Emperor say that? How could he bear to say that the Emperor was wrong?

Xuan Ye continued to look at Gai Rong'er with a bitter look in his eyes and said, "Rong'er, I know what I like the most … "It's Rong'er, but no matter if it's the active or the passive, I'm not destined to be able to give you everything. I'm destined to let you down."

Hearing the emperor's words, Rong'er's heart filled with warmth. He raised his head to look at the emperor and said, "The emperor has not let you down. As the Son of Heaven, the emperor has already given Rong'er enough. Rong'er is satisfied."

Xuan Ye smiled. "Rong'er's words will always be like this. I know that Rong'er has never exalted in the harem because of my love for you. How can I not know that Rong'er is knowledgeable and understanding of my feelings. Rong'er, the only thing I can give you is for you to know my feelings for you."

A few days later, the emperor gave the empress dowager the title of Empress Dowager Ci He, bestowed it on her with a neutral medallion in the Taishan Temple. The following month, the palace maid Dong Shushu diagnosed that she was pregnant and gave her permission to stay in the palace. In July, the emperor paid tribute to the empress of Kang-hsiang, which was located in the Imperial Palace. In November, Xuan Ye accompanied the empress dowager and empress dowager to Shunzhi for the first time. At the same time, in order to improve the status of his grandfather, the Emperor took his mother's younger brother. Tong Guowei younger brother, Tong Guowei, Tong Guowei promotion to inner minister, the official product is from first rank.

Winter came in the blink of an eye. On this day, Rong'er took care of Cheng Hu at the empress's place, and now that Rui'er was gone, Rong'er and the empress loved Ah'er together. She was the empress's hope, and Rong'er loved this child as well. Zhang Leqi walked over with Zhuo Hui and Yin Ruo Lan in her arms. The sisters sat and chatted, discussing about agreeing.

"This time, Dong is really lucky to have been favored by the Emperor and given birth to Long Si." Yin Ruo Lan sighed and said. Ever since Ruo Lan became a child, although she was once in a while chastised by the Emperor, she had never had another Dragon King.

"Dong's promise was a blessing in disguise, while Little Sister Rong'er was a blessing in disguise. It's been several months already, the emperor didn't summon anyone other than Little Sister Rong'er. He only wanted Little Sister to add another Dragon King." Zhuo Hui was already a year and a half old, and was very obedient. All the sisters in the palace liked him.

Gaylen smiled but didn't answer.

It's only right for the emperor to spend more time with Rong'er. After all, we watched Rui'er grow up. She's already three years old. The Queen said gently.

"There are more and more women in the palace, so the emperor can't spoil them all. It's clear who the emperor likes. Ruo Lan is truly envious of big sister Rong'er's luck. Without Rui Er, the emperor favors big sister even more." Yin Ruo Lan said sincerely. Ruo Lan has changed a lot, unlike the happy one from before, she doesn't care about anything, or to put it more seriously, Ruo Lan gives people the feeling that she doesn't have any hope.

Rong'er smiled faintly and said, "I've just lost Rui'er. Rong'er's heart is feeling too sad, causing trouble for the other sisters and also disturbing the emperor. This is Rong'er's mistake. Rong'er's mood has almost recovered by now, so the emperor will definitely summon the other sisters soon."

Zhang LEqi smiled bitterly and said faintly, "Will they call us back even if they call us again? "I'm afraid that the new emperor has not favored Yi, Ma, or the new emperor."

He remembered the two promises that they had made to pay their respects to the empress dowager. The emperor had probably not yet favored them, and although they had been bestowed the title of emperor, they had only added two more miserable people to the harem. What did their Ama think? Of course, they would also hope that their own daughters could receive the royal grace and bring them greater fortune. After all, even if they couldn't get the royal favour, they were still the emperor's women. As for the women of the emperor, they were the royal relatives, and if they could get a prince, it would be a great honor for them.
