Kangxi Harem Ⅰ: Green Years

Chapter 173 (49) Tang Quan Returns Honoring the Precepts of the Ancestors (Part [-])
[The return of Tangquan is complicated, and the ancestral training is always in memory;]

[If you want to be with you for a long time, remember not to fight for arrogance. 】

Rong'er and the Empress Dowager returned to the palace a month later. The Empress Dowager was worried about the palace and couldn't rest assured that they were there. Xuan Ye went to pick them up again. After staying in Tangquan for a month, Xuan Ye went to greet the Empress Dowager Four times, but the last time the emperor stayed in Tangquan for nearly ten days, but he often went outside the palace to visit the situation of the defenders in the north.

What impressed Rong'er the most during this trip was that Rong'er accompanied the empress dowager on the second day after the emperor came to greet him for the first time and left.

I remember that day, the Empress Dowager looked at Rong'er and said with a smile: "The emperor came to greet the Ai family, but the Ai family knew that the emperor also came to see you."

"Old Ancestor, Rong'er is just taking a look at the Emperor." Rong'er said shyly, and hurriedly preached for the Emperor: "Old Ancestor, the Emperor is really filial to you."

"Haha!" The Empress Dowager laughed and said, "The Ai family's grandson is filial, the Ai family knows, but the Ai family also knows the grandson's feelings for Rong'er, haha, the Ai family understands that these two feelings are not the same. conflict!"

Hearing what the Empress Dowager said, Rong'er smiled embarrassedly.

"Rong'er, has it been nine years?" The Empress Dowager looked at Rong'er with a smile.

"Old Ancestor, do you think Rong'er entered the palace? It's been nine years." Rong'er nodded in confusion.

"Haha, yes, you have been in the palace for nine years, and the emperor has spoiled you for nine years. As a woman, you are lucky to have such favor!" The Empress Dowager suddenly stopped smiling and stared at you. Rong'er said in a low voice: "Emperor Shunzhi didn't favor Dong E for so long. Dong E died early, so... it's right to mourn the family."

"Old ancestor?" Rong'er called out uneasily.

The corner of the Empress Dowager's mouth slightly raised, looked at Rong'er's eyes slightly red and said: "Since Emperor Shunzhi, the Ai family's son died, and the Ai family often blamed themselves. Aijia loves his son. Aijia is the queen mother, but Aijia is also a mother. Aijia wants his son to be happy, so when He said that he really liked the Dong E family, and when he wanted to promote her to be a concubine, the Ai family acquiesced, but we all forgot that this is the emperor's family."

The Empress Dowager closed her eyes lightly, and Rong'er just looked at her silently. After a long time, the Empress Dowager continued, "Emperor Shunzhi was only 24 years old when he died. What a young age. Aijia made a mistake. Aijia Forgot to tell him, if you really like Dong E, you should not spoil her alone. In those years, how many people secretly said that Dong E was a demon concubine, and how many people in the palace envied her and were jealous of her. And the princes and ministers also said that the emperor didn't concentrate on court affairs because of Dong E's family. Fulin thought he could protect her, but he was wrong. He couldn't protect her at all. There is something wrong, but she is not, she is just like you, very kind, she thinks about it day and night, and finally she can't get sick, and she doesn't want to appeal to the emperor. Over the years, the Ai family has often thought about it, and the Ai family hates her. My son lost his heart and soul, and left with her early; but Aijia sympathized with her, and being loved by the emperor may not be a blessing..."

Rong'er understood a little bit, the emperor treated her all these years...

The Empress Dowager looked at Rong'er, "Actually, Aijia also made mistakes, and Aijia was also introspective, so when Aijia knew that the emperor's grandson liked you, Aijia was also very nervous, and Aijia was thinking about what to do. Drive out of the palace? Or what should I do? Aijia admits that when he sent you to Qianqing Palace, Aijia wanted to make you happy, because Aijia wanted the emperor to have more women, but... Aijia didn't want you to get the emperor's favor emotion……"

"Old ancestor..." For so many years, Rong'er really didn't see that there were such things in the heart of the Empress Dowager.

"But, Rong'er..." The Empress Dowager looked at Rong'er kindly and continued, "Just as I was a mother to Fulin back then, I was also a grandmother to Xuanye. Seeing his happiness, I can't bear it." The Empress Dowager smiled wryly, "What should I do if I can't bear it? Then I can't let my grandson follow his father's old path. Rong'er, the emperor likes you and mourns the family. I know, but the Ai family will never allow the emperor to allow you to favor the harem, and will never allow the emperor to confer on you inappropriately."

"Old Ancestor, Rong'er understands that what Rong'er has today is enough!" Rong'er hurriedly answered.

"The most taboo thing for women in this palace is dissatisfaction. It is very good for you to be content. Aijia is very happy." The Empress Dowager nodded with a smile and said, "In these years, several of your children have died early one after another, but you Why can you still live in such a healthy and happy life? Your body is healthy and your heart is healthy, it is because the emperor is by your side, and no one around you bothers you, so although you are not a high concubine, you are the happiest in this palace This woman, the heights are too cold...Rong'er, go on like this, if you still want to spend another nine years in this palace in such a healthy way, or even two, three, or four nine years, then be content with it. How about this, at the same time, please persuade the emperor more, give more favor to other concubines, there will be another draft in a few months, Aijia will tell you in advance, there will be many concubines in next year's draft..." The Empress Dowager looked at Rong Er, sighed softly, and said in a low voice, "Now that the Qing Dynasty is not peaceful, the only way Aijia can think of is to give the emperor more concubines and win over his courtiers. Do you understand Aijia?"

Rong'er's heart trembled slightly, and he nodded softly, "Old Ancestor, Rong'er understands, what Rong'er did in the past, Rong'er will do in the future."

"Rong'er, don't think that this is the Ai family making things difficult for you. You should know that this is the Ai family taking care of you. The Ai family likes you, otherwise they would not take you out of the palace again and again. The Ai family said this for your own good." , do you know?" The Empress Dowager looked at Rong'er and said softly.
