The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 274 Motherhood ([-])

It was almost Yin time when he entered the Qianqing Palace, and in less than half an hour it was time for the emperor to go to the imperial gate to listen to the government.

Rong Yue originally wanted to wait for the emperor to go to bed early, but when the two entered the couch, the emperor was tossing and turning, refusing to close his eyes no matter what.

However, at this moment, he heard Rong Yue's crying again, he wrapped his arms around Rong Yue lightly, and asked softly next to her ear: "Are you still so afraid? Your body is so much tighter."

Rong Yue sobbed and said: "Today there is a fire in the palace, I am really terrified in my heart. I am afraid that I will be killed in a fire, and I will not be able to serve the emperor again."

The emperor said: "What stupid things are you talking about, why don't you just stay by my pillow now that you have nothing to do?"

Rong Yue leaned closer to the emperor, felt his even breathing, and said after a while: "This concubine will never be able to bear children for the emperor, and it is doomed not to have a son and a half woman to accompany her, the emperor is naturally the concubine's heaven, The concubine is only afraid that she will make a mistake and never see her again."

"What you said will make me sad." The emperor kissed her cold forehead lightly, and then said seriously: "I asked the nuns in my brother's house in private, you often visit Yin Ti and Changsheng, on weekdays, they are more eager to take good things to have fun with the two children, but they like children from the bottom of their hearts?"

Rong Yue nodded, and said slowly with a bit of sadness: "Who is a woman who doesn't want to be a mother, it's just that the blessings of courtiers and concubines are not good enough, that's all."

Tears that were still warm fell on the emperor's pillow, but the tears fell silently but sounded like thunder in his heart.

He especially thought of the years when he wrongly favored Concubine Hui, which caused Rong Yue to end up in such a poor state, and there was always something to be owed.

The emperor's heart trembled slightly, and he gently wiped away the tears under Rong Yue's eyes: "I'm sorry for you in the past about Concubine Hui. Now that Yin Ti has reached her full age, it is time to choose a position for him , and a good man is her mother."

Under the hazy moonlight, the emperor and Rong Yue looked at each other, with a face full of guilt, he said with a blunt smile: "Are you willing to raise him under your lap?"

Rong Yue was naturally happy in her heart, but she pretended to be disappointed, and whispered: "If that's the case, the concubine is naturally willing. But Concubine Yi has no children under her knees, and the time in the palace is longer than that of the concubine, so let her take care of her , wouldn't it be more appropriate?"

"Concubine Yi has the worst temper. You are not as considerate as raising a child under her lap." The emperor slowly closed his eyes, speaking lazily, as if a little tired.

"Yes, after all, Concubine Yi's body is still fertile. No more than concubines."

"She can't bear children."

The emperor almost blurted out this sentence out of sleepiness without thinking, even he was startled when he said it.

Rong Yue was very thoughtful, upon hearing this sentence, she hurriedly asked: "What does the emperor mean by this?"

"For so many years, no matter how much you love Concubine Yi, you can't get pregnant. I'm afraid she's not fit to have a child." The emperor sighed, and continued: "Then some imperial doctors have seen her for her, and they all said that she is in good health. And really anxious."

Rong Yue smiled quietly and didn't ask any more questions.

He only said that the emperor was tired, and he would take a break while he still had some time, so as not to lose his energy in the morning.

The emperor responded lightly, and fell into a deep sleep almost instantly.

Accompanied by the sound of his heavy breathing, Rong Yue opened her eyes wide and stared at the dragon-patterned curtain in front of the bed, without any sleepiness.

Concubine Yi can't bear children?
This sentence is the emperor's original words, almost blurted out by the emperor.

Although the subsequent explanation seems reasonable, it is actually unreasonable.

If it's just that the body is not suitable for a child, the emperor can let her have a rare child or wait for the fate to return Rong Yue's words, but with such a firm statement, it seems that he has confirmed this fact in his heart and knows it clearly.

She pondered over the deep meaning of the emperor's words repeatedly in her heart, until after Liang Jiugong called the emperor to get up, she properly served the emperor to change the court clothes, and she couldn't figure it out.

After returning to the palace that day, there was an endless stream of people coming and going from the main hall, trying to restore the traces of the fire.

Rong Yue had no choice but to temporarily move things and live in a side hall.

At that time, Lian Xin saw that her eyes were very black and blue, she couldn't help but said with concern: "Your Majesty stayed in Qianqing Palace at Yinshi last night, now it's only Maoshi, why did you go back to the palace?"

Rong Yue thought about it and interrupted her, so she glanced at her and said firmly: "Last night, the emperor made a decision to raise Yinti under Bengong's knee."

Lian Xin was overjoyed when she heard that, and immediately knelt down and bowed three times: "Congratulations, empress, this is a great deed!"

Rong Yue fiddled with the armor casually, and said: "There is one more thing, what do you mean by this." She slowed down, imitating the emperor's tone and said: "She can't bear children?"

Lian Xin was startled, and hurriedly lowered her voice: "Your Majesty, why are you saying such bad things again? You are taking good care of your body. Even the imperial doctor said that you are still expected to conceive. Why?"

"You think so too?" Rong Yue ordered Lian Xin to stand up, and took a sip of the purple sand tea cup at hand: "This is what the emperor said about Concubine Yi, and I always thought that there might be something else behind it Meaning. You go and check to see if there is anything we don't know about."

After that day, because Xiuyan caught fire that day the emperor gave Xiuyan coldness, she got angry and complained in the palace all day long.

When the words reached the emperor's ears, the emperor felt that he had neglected her a bit, so he only called her to sleep alone for three consecutive days, which made her recover a little bit.

The renovation of Chengqian Palace was completed in early April. On the morning of the same day, the emperor drafted a decree for the Sixth Palace of Xiaoyu. From now on, the eldest son Yinti was moved to Chengqian Palace to be raised by Concubine Tong's side.

Yinti stayed in the main hall early in the morning, and only waited for Rongyue to enter the palace, then she greeted Rong Yue and knelt down to pay her respects: "My son greets Tong Niangniang, and my empress is blessed and safe!"

Although he was polite, he was always timid when he came to a new environment, and he didn't know where to put his small hands.

Rong Yue raised a warm smile, leaned over to help him up, and took his hand all the way to the side seat to sit down: "The Forbidden City is Yinti's home, from now on Chengqian Palace will be Yinti's small home There is no point in following those rules here, do what you want to do, tell Aunt Lianxin what you want to eat, you have to be happy every day, and Niang Niangniang will be happy when she sees it."

Yinti nodded vigorously: "My son thanked Madam Tong."

Lian Xin took a piece of lotus seed cake and handed it to Yin Ti, and said with a smile: "Brother, it's time to call her Tong Niangniang now."

Seeing Yinti's troubled face, Rong Yue smiled and said softly: "It's the same whatever you call him. We are strangers here since Yinti came here. If you suddenly ask him to change his words, wouldn't it be embarrassing for the child?"

As she said that, she stroked Yinti's forehead lovingly, and pulled him into her arms: "Mr. Huigui is your mother-in-law. Although you are raised here with Tong Niangniang, Tong Niangniang will not cut you off." The friendship between mother and child. If one day you miss Er Niang, you can tell Tong Niangniang, can Tong Niangniang lead you to see Er Niang?"

Yinti nodded obediently and said: "My son understands that Tong Niangniang was kind to her son when she was at elder brother's place, so she is naturally happy when her son comes to Tong Niangniang's place."

These words were like spring water rippling into the atrium in June, warming Rong Yue's whole body.

She is holding Yinti at the moment, he is so small and his body is so soft, although she knows that she is not her own child, but the warm feeling makes Rong Yue shed tears unconsciously.
