The Legend of Imperial Concubine Rong

Growing up in Shoukang Palace, Toya dotes on the best;

The empress dowager pained her words, and the heart of Rong'er ached.

Within the empress dowager's Shoukang Palace.

"This longevity … it cries everyday … Toya and I are almost tortured to death by this little fellow." Her Majesty smiled at Rong'er.

Rong'er replied, "That's strange. Changsheng is different from his elder brother. Back then, Cheng Rui and Sai Yinming were both much more obedient. They don't like to cause trouble, but I don't know why Changsheng likes to cry so much."

"That's right, it's all thanks to Toya. She really takes good care of him. She often guards this little guy together with the wet nurse, haha." The empress dowager looked at the smiling figure on the warm brick bed and said, "Your first wife is here. Stop crying and you'll torment us. Look, you're still smiling."

Rong'er looked gratefully at Toya, "It's really been hard on you."

With a faint smile on her face, Toya lightly shook her head. She was only twelve years old, perhaps because of a Mongolian girl. She was quite tall, and with the addition of this incident, her expression was always so humble and mature.

The empress dowager laughed heartily. "I think that Toya is as carefree as a feather. Heh."

Toya nodded lightly, lost in her memories, reminded her of her brother Burney's child, in the Mongol palace, when everything was fine, her brother Burney had just had a son, she was a sister-in-law, and often went to see that little child, but the upheavals in the family made everything disappear, and the child went with them, and she knew that it was his brother who betrayed the emperor, all the men in the household were killed by the emperor, and her mother, all the women in the household, became slaves, and for a few days she didn't know how to do it, she suddenly felt frightened, but she was really too good to the empress dowager, and sometimes she could live bravely in the palace with him. Had her brother been deceived by the bad guys? Having been in the palace for so long, she knew from the mouths of others that the Emperor was really good. Why did her brother act like this, bringing misfortune to the entire family? Unfortunately, no one could answer her answer …

"Toya …" Rong'er called out softly again, as if her mind was wandering.

"Oh, Young Lord Rong, do you have any orders?" Rong'er's gentle voice pulled her back from her memories.

"It's nothing. What I'm saying is that I'll have to trouble you more with my longevity in the future. What were you thinking just now?" Rong'er chuckled.

Toya gently shook her head, "No …" "Nothing much, taking care of the prince is Toya's duty, Young Master Rong need not worry."

"Reporting to the empress dowager, Yi Fei requests an audience!" A palace maid came in to report.

The empress dowager smiled as she said, "Yi Fei has come. Quickly let her in."

Not long after, Yi Feifei slowly walked in. Rong'er saw that she was dressed in a goose-yellow banner with a white handkerchief in her hands, and her already delicate body seemed even more delicate and beautiful when matched with this light colored makeup. "Chenqie greets the empress dowager." Yi Feifei said softly. The empress dowager hastened to say, "Hurry up and dispense with the formalities. Your empress dowager's heart hurts to see you so weak. Hurry and sit."

Rong'er had already stood up when Yi Feifei had entered the room, and hurriedly bowed to her as well. "Greetings, Imperial Consort Yi."

"No need for formalities, Noble Lady Rong." As she spoke, she sat down on a chair next to the Empress Dowager.

"Ouch!" Yi Yi Fei, your little body is just too weak. This one will ask the internal department to properly feed you more. " Her Majesty whispered.

"Empress Dowager Xie is worried. Chenqie's been weak since she was young. She'll be fine." Yi Feifei said softly with a smile.

Rong'er sat to one side, not speaking. The empress dowager smiled as she said, "Noble Lady Rong, you should know that Imperial Concubine Yi has watched me grow up. She's always liked it."

The empress dowager continued, "In the past, This Dowager, Ci and the empress dowager lived together at the Longevity Palace, so the Tong Family's wives often came to visit as well. After all, the Emperor was kind and the empress dowager's relatives, and since the day the emperor ascended the throne, XiuNing was only born not long ago. When the empress dowager and the empress dowager heard that her brother, Tong Guowei, was born, they wanted to see the daughter of the empress. When she thought of the kind Empress Dowager who had spent many years in the palace with her without being favored by the emperor, and how her son had inherited the throne, but had returned to the West after only a year and had no fortune to enjoy the wealth Xuan Ye had brought her, the Empress Dowager's eyes couldn't help but turn red.

"Ever since she was young, her eldest mother had often told Xiu-Ning about benevolence and the empress dowager. When I was born, she doted on me dearly, and if she were to enter the palace to serve as a sovereign one day, she would definitely take care of your majesty with all her might, so that my aunt would be at ease," Yun Qinghong said. "Now that Xiu-Ning has gained the favor of the dragon and become the emperor's concubine, she'll definitely take good care of the emperor, take care of the empress dowager and the empress dowager, and abide by Feide."

"Good child, I believe you will do so. The emperor, the empress dowager and I will pamper you. You are a kind nephew, and we will treat you well." Good child, I believe you will do so, and the emperor and the empress dowager will pamper you. the Empress Dowager said bitterly.

"Esteemed Empress Dowager, Kindness and the empress dowager are in the heavens. They will definitely be happy to know that the emperor is so outstanding today." Imperial Consort Yi was destined to be doted upon by the Emperor, and perhaps not only because of her family background but more importantly, because of her kindness and the empress dowager's continued presence within this palace. This sort of favor was destined to be given to her by her fate. Her heart ached, but she still had to smile, to face it.

Yes, not only is the emperor outstanding, but he is also very filial. Back when he was very compassionate, when he was sick, Xuan Ye stayed by his side every day and personally fed the soup to his son, but the number of times he saw his son was also less than a few days. But the benevolence still couldn't bear with him, I saw with my own eyes the sadness in Xuan Ye's heart, and even though I'm not Xuan Ye's biological mother, Xuan Ye treated me with extreme filial piety. Her Majesty sighed.

Rong'er thought that she had heard that the late emperor Shunzhi was the sole pampered queen, and that when the late emperor was alive, Ci He and the empress dowager were not very favored. At that time, the late emperor could have created the emperor, and in addition to the emperor, there was also Prince Yu, Fu Quan, who was lucky enough to be old, and ultimately the late emperor chose the current emperor. Some people said that it was because the emperor had suffered smallpox, but Rong'er believed that the late emperor must have looked after the prince's wisdom and talent, so she stubbornly believed it was because the late emperor had recognized the emperor's excellence, so the legend was placed on the emperor.

The empress dowager had no intention of discussing this topic either as she smiled at Yi Feifei. "That's right, Xiu Ning, has the emperor summoned you to sleep with him recently?"

"Reporting to the empress dowager, someone has summoned chenqie before." Yi Yi Fei replied embarrassedly.

"Then that's good, This Dowager is really afraid that the Emperor will ignore you. If anything happens to you in the future, just come find This Dowager and This Dowager will help you as much as possible. Right now, the Emperor is also placing importance on the Tong Family, so it's even more so that the Emperor won't let you suffer any grievances in the palace." The empress dowager smiled. "The emperor has to treat you badly. You can also come and complain to This Dowager."

"I thank the empress dowager for her care. The emperor treats me quite well."

Hearing these words, Rong'er felt very cruel to himself. Why did he have to say it in front of her face? She wanted to leave, but she couldn't, so she could only sit there, quietly, helplessly …
