The Legend of Imperial Concubine Rong

Deep winter, cold days. Daytime emergency, the harem people suffer from disease;

The king hunts the south garden to know the son disease, to send back to the center of the palace to add to the worry.

In the imperial court, the emperor had no particular worries and the imperial palace was relatively calm. The empress dowager was very happy and gave rewards to all the women of the imperial harem and their princes and daughters, while a westerner, who was said to have come from Portugal, played Chinese folk songs on a very interesting Western instrument. The emperor said that the westerner's name was Xu Yisheng, and that it was Nanyin who had pushed him. Rong'er didn't understand this, but it was indeed very interesting to see the Westerner play a beautiful piece of music on such a strange instrument. The happy new spring had just passed when the emperor went hunting in the southern gardens. The emperor liked to go hunting in the southern gardens at this time of year.

At first, everyone thought that it was just ordinary cold. The empress had the imperial physician take care of it, and she had even brought Rong'er and the others from the Palace over to inquire about it. Dong Chang Zai was sad, but everyone tried to console him. However, she didn't expect that three days later, Cha Yin would also suffer from wind chill, which was extremely high fever. This winter's weather seemed especially uncomfortable. Not only the two children, but even the empress got sick a few days later. There were also many court ladies in the palace who had caught the cold.

Ronger had asked the empress dowager to allow him to take care of him at her place. At this point, Ronger was already more than six months pregnant, but he still took care of her every day and night. She was really afraid that this child, like Cheng Rui, would leave him. At the same time, Xiaoqing had heard the news that not only had her fever not subsided, but she also had a severe cough, and her illness had a tendency to worsen. The imperial doctors claimed that the cold had turned into a case of cough and asthma. Two years ago, Cheng Qing died early from his illness, so Dong Chang Zai was worried.

She was very afraid that her lungs would close and cough. She thought of Rui'er, she could not accept that this child had any more mishaps, and although she was pregnant, she could not eat or sleep well, and every day she would just stay by his side, watching over him so as to avoid any changes that might happen to him.

Xuan Ye had gone hunting in the southern courtyard after the new year. Last year, when he came back from Zunhua, Tang Quan, he had ordered people to build a travelling palace in the southern courtyard, but this time, he did not expect that he would receive news of Sai Su's illness and Sai Cha's illness, so he rushed back to the palace overnight. When Xuan Ye returned to the palace and heard that Rong'er was taking care of Sai Chin, he went straight to Rong's room, but didn't let the gatekeeping maid pass the message. Lying on the bed was Sayo Cha. Xuan Ye lightly walked over without disturbing Rong'er. He carefully examined Cha Yin as if he had fallen asleep. His face was flushed red as he probed Cha Yin's forehead. It shouldn't be too hot anymore. Xuan Ye shook his head as he thought, "How come you're not wearing an overcoat in such a cold weather? Furthermore, you're already six months pregnant, so sleeping like this should be very harmful to your body." Then, he gently carried Rong'er to the bed with both hands and slowly placed her on the bed. Ronger usually didn't sleep too deeply, but this time he didn't wake up. Ronger must have been very tired. Xuan Ye sat beside the bed and lovingly touched Ronger's face, gently covering her with a quilt. "I'm going back to the palace, Rong'er, but I can't bear to wake you up. Don't be tired. Rest well. I'll come and see you tomorrow.

Xuan Ye walked to the outer room and asked Xiu-Er who was standing by the door, "Why is your master taking care of Brother A? Where's the wet nurse? Where's Little Qing and the others? "

Xiu-Er was sent to the palace by Rong'er's side last year after he became a noble. When she saw the king, she quickly kneeled down and nervously said, "Go back to the king …" These past few days … The wet nurse had been accompanying her master to take care of little Brother Ah. Today, her master had asked her to go back and rest since she had a terrible headache … In this period of time, Qiao Yu had also caught a cold. Master had let her rest for two days, while Xiaoqing and Qiu E personally went to the tea room to boil the medicine for Brother Ah. Master was worried about others making the medicine, and had them personally boil it and bring it over. "

"Oh …" Xuan Ye nodded. Just as he was about to continue giving orders, he heard someone speaking. He lifted the curtain and walked out. Xiaoqing and Qiu E had returned with bowls of medicine. They were talking to Zhang DeShun, his eunuch who accompanied him.

When Xiaoqing and Qiu E saw the emperor come out, they hurriedly bowed. Xuan Ye waved his hands towards Xiaoqing and asked, "Why does your master's complexion look so bad?"

"In reply to the emperor, please make clear that master has been worrying about Brother A's illness these past few days. If you can't eat or sleep well, then your complexion won't be good. The servants really have taken good care of him." Afraid that the Emperor wouldn't be able to take good care of them, Little Qing hurriedly knelt down and replied, while the other two palace maids also knelt down.

"Get up, Xiaoqing. You and your mistress have been together for a long time, and when you heard that she was worried about her child, you couldn't care less about yourself. And now that your master is pregnant, you should know that you can't let her be. He knew that Rong'er was like a sister to her.

"Yes, your majesty. If Xiaoqing finds out, she will definitely persuade Master more." Xiaoqing respectfully replied.

"Un, your master is already asleep, stop calling her. Just feed the medicine to Brother and you guys will have to take care of Brother tonight. If her condition is stable, don't call your master and let her rest." Xuan Ye instructed.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Your servant obeys the decree and will certainly take good care of Brother." Little Qing bowed respectfully as she received the decree.

"Alright, you guys can go in and wait." After saying this, Xuan Ye prepared to leave. After a few steps, he turned around and said to Little Qing, "If your master wakes up and tells her that I've come over, I don't have the heart to disturb her. Tomorrow, I'll come see her again." Xuan Ye thought for a moment, then said with a smile, "Also, tell her that if Zhen'er doesn't look good after seeing her complexion and doesn't eat and rest properly, Zhen will punish all of you palace maids severely and see if she can bear it."

She understood in her heart that the emperor was afraid that their advice to her master to eat and rest would have no effect on her. She thought that her master definitely wouldn't be able to bear to have them be punished.

The empress's body would get cold, and in the winter, it would get even worse. He and Rong'er were both very worried, because ever since his death, the empress's spirit and body seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, and although he stayed at the Palace of Peace for a long time, the empress had never had another child with him. In fact, Xuan Ye knew that if the empress had given birth to a new child, her heart would have been at ease, and her health would have been better. In fact, he really did have a guilty conscience towards Dong Tianleng. After all, he had left her in the harem, but he had given her so little attention. And now that she had suffered from this evil disease, he knew that Qing'er had died from it all those years ago, so he hoped that her daughter would be able to recover successfully.
