Empress Xiao Zhaoren in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 105

Rong Huang's heart moved, thinking of something, he couldn't help asking: "Master Mingzhu... what's going on? How could he indulge Donglang's temper like this? I thought you were the most understanding man in the world, Ama. It’s my Ama, it turns out Master Mingzhu is not bad either!”

Mentioning Mingzhu, Ye Bilong rolled his eyes and snorted coldly: "That old thing Mingzhu just wants to be tied to a rope with our Niu Hulu's family. I have a handle on him, and he has a handle on me. That's all."

Rong Huang couldn't help chuckling: "It turns out that in the eyes of you Amas, we are the target?"

Ye Bilong was stunned by her, shook his head and said with a smile: "It's true that no one can judge you. That child Donglang is so honest, it's really a loss to follow you."

"Hey, what do you mean by following me? Ah Ma is not allowed to say this in front of him, otherwise he will be proud!"

"Okay, Ama won't say..."

In fact, Ye Bilong didn't tell Rong Huang about many things.For example, Mingzhu helped them leave Beijing. In fact, there are many, many reasons.For Hui'er, for Big Brother, for Rong Ruo, for the family...Of course, these are all things for later.For Ye Bilong, his daughter has sacrificed enough for the family.In the years to come, he only hoped that she could live a stable and happy life.

say goodbye
The war in San Francisco was urgent, and the Qing army retreated steadily. Emperor Kangxi finally couldn't hold back, mobilized two yellow flags, and prepared to set off for a personal expedition in three days.

A few days before leaving, Xuanye moved all the memorials to Kunning Palace.If he had a little free time, he would raise his head and look at Rong Huang.

Rong Huang knew that after this farewell, it would be difficult to see each other again in this life, so he no longer put on a cold face to him, and the two would occasionally look at each other and smile.Of course, this angered Rong Ruo, who was always by the emperor's side.The most critical moment was approaching, he was afraid that Rong Huang would repent temporarily, so he spent every day restlessly.Later, it was Rong Huang who saw the clue and sent him a sentence "I don't know where the love started, but it goes deeper and deeper", and Rong Ruo finally calmed down.

Time passed like running water at the fingertips, and it was the day of parting in a blink of an eye.That night, Xuan Ye did not plunge into the pile of memorials as usual, but retreated his servants to guard Rong Huang's side.He gently caressed her bulging belly, as if treating a rare treasure with care.

"Little Phoenix, when I come back, our child will be born, right?"

Rong Huang nodded: "The due date is less than two months away."

For some reason, Xuan Ye's expression suddenly became gloomy at that moment.He put his head on her stomach and said in a low voice, "Little Phoenix, it's my fault, I can't keep you by my side."

Regarding this man who hugs her, Rong Huang's psychology is actually very complicated.After all, Xuanye is also her first man, the father of the child in her womb.When he talked to her in such a low voice, she couldn't push him away.

She bit her lips, remained silent for a while, and finally just said: "I don't blame you, not at all." On the contrary, she hoped that he could go far away and never come back to her again.

Xuan Ye let out a "hmm", closed his eyes, and did not speak.

After being silent for a long time, Rong Huang couldn't hold his breath and couldn't help asking him: "Is the emperor asleep?"

"No." Xuanye opened his eyes and said calmly, "I'm thinking about what to name our child."

"Name?" Rong Huang was taken aback.

Xuan Ye nodded and said, "That's right, the imperial physicians say he's a little elder brother. Why, do you have any good ideas?"

Rong Huang's mind went blank for a moment, and he blurted out uncontrollably: "What does your majesty think of the word 'zhen'?"

"Which Zhen?"

Xuan Ye held out his hand to her.Rong Huang hesitated for a moment, but still wrote that word in his palm.

"It turned out to be Zhen who was 'blessed by truth', really good." Xuan Ye was noncommittal, but he took this matter to heart.

Rong Huang didn't know how to respond, so she simply said: "The concubine is a little tired, I want to rest..."

Xuan Ye has always been obedient to her in these small things, but today, for the first time, Xuan Ye did not obey her this time: "It's still early, can I talk to my son again with me? I will have a good time this time." I haven't seen you for a while."

The emperor has spoken, can she still refuse?In desperation, Rong Huang could only say "Yes".

Seeing that she was silent, Xuan Ye had no choice but to take the initiative and said: "The imperial doctor said that your fetus is not in the right position, and it may be more difficult during delivery. When I leave tomorrow, I will ask all the imperial doctors to wait in the palace, and the stable woman has also been selected. Now, if you see what is missing, send someone to look for it. If you are bored, you can ask your mother to come to the palace to accompany you."

Seeing him as a grown man worrying about women having children, Rong Huang felt a little moved, but it was only moved.From now on, they will be strangers to each other, and will not have any intersection... Thinking of this, Rong Huang couldn't help but say: "The concubine's pregnancy was not stable at the beginning, and the fetal position was not right. The emperor is going to say goodbye, I don't know Will we meet again in the future..."

Xuan Ye frowned, and immediately said angrily: "What nonsense!"

Pregnant women are the most emotionally sensitive, Rong Huang couldn't help crying when Xuan Ye yelled so loudly.I don't know if it was because she was too wronged by his reprimand, or because she felt a little bit reluctant when parting, so she couldn't help crying.

As soon as Xuanye saw her crying, he immediately had one head and two big ones, and quickly grabbed her hand and coaxed: "It's my fault, don't cry, it's not good for your body, ah."

Although he said so, but before he finished speaking, two lines of tears flowed from the corners of his own eyes.He knew what Rong Huang said was true.Giving birth to a woman is like walking through the gates of hell. This is Ronghuang's first child, and he is really afraid that he will lose her...

What Rong Huang was afraid of was not dystocia.The so-called malposition of the fetus was nothing more than paving the way for her future escape by feigning death. Her fetus was raised very well, and if there were no accidents, it should have been a normal delivery.

But she didn't want to explain this to Xuan Ye, because she had more important things to say right now.

She didn't break away from Xuan Ye's hand, just let him hold it, and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, can you promise me something?"

Xuan Ye nodded quickly: "Say it."

Rong Huang seized this last opportunity and solemnly said: "Please promise Rong Huang that if I have any troubles in the future, I will hand over my child to Concubine Yi's younger sister to raise."

Xuan Ye immediately frowned, and said in dissatisfaction: "I won't allow you to say such depressing words!" He can tolerate her petty temper, he can give her supreme power, the only thing he refuses to give her is freedom.In Xuanye's view, as long as she can stay by his side, nothing else is important.

Rong Huang didn't seem to see his anger, and continued to say: "If it's a princess, I hope the emperor will dote on her. When she grows up, can you ignore political factors and listen to her opinion, Choose the best son-in-law for her. If it's an elder brother, the emperor doesn't have to make him the prince, and you don't have to show your love for him in front of others. I just hope you can love him and treat him well in your heart , let him be your favorite son, can you?"

What she said was also leaving a way out for herself. If she and the child could not escape in the end, she would at least let Xuan Ye keep the child.

What she said came from the bottom of her heart, and Xuan Ye's heart was about to break.He simply couldn't imagine the day when he lost Ronghuang, so he ignored his grandmother's objection and stubbornly made Ronghuang a queen, wanting to use the name of queen to bind her by his side forever.But the human affairs have been exhausted, and the destiny is hard to break.If God really wanted to take away his little phoenix during childbirth, what would he do in the future?
Xuan Ye gritted his teeth, squeezed her hand and said: "Okay, I promise you everything! But you have to promise me, you must wait for me to come back!"

Under Xuan Ye's burning gaze, Rong Huang was forced to nod silently.She lied to Xuanye, the first and last time.

I only hope that in this life, there will be no more entanglements, and never see each other again.

When Xuan Ye left early the next morning, Rong Huang didn't want to see him off.But Concubine Hui and others came to Kunning Palace early in the morning to wait for her, and she couldn't seem too ruthless, so she had to change into the Queen's dress and head to the tower with a group of harem concubines.Empresses and concubines were not allowed to show their faces at will, so they stood far behind the emperor, watching him point out the country with great ambition and boost morale.

Looking at Kangxi's high-spirited appearance in military uniform, Rong Huang couldn't help but feel a little shocked.In the past, Xuan Ye was too much like an ordinary man in front of her, but until today she really felt that this man is not only her husband, but also the emperor of this country.

At the bottom of her heart, she has hatred and disgust towards Xuan Ye, both fear and fear, and maybe there is still a trace of inexplicable and unclear feelings.She doesn't know what this feeling is, but she knows one thing, that is, Aixinjue Luo Xuanye is definitely not her lover in this life.It's not that he's not good enough, it's just that she can't accept it.Everyone has their own bottom line, and Xuanye challenged her bottom line, so she couldn't accept it.
