His grandmother went to the spring of Tang, and his son was punished.
Tzu Chi confessed as a friend, Xuan Ye secretly found out the truth.
”Mistress, the emperor and the empress dowager are leaving the palace tomorrow.” Xiaoqing hesitated and eventually told Rong'er.
”Out of the palace? ”Where to?” Rong'er looked up.
”I'm going to the Tang Quan, and I'll take my time from the memorial service.” Little Qing replied.
Rong'er nodded, thinking bitterly, Did the emperor and the empress dowager go to the spring? This time, he didn't bring her with him. It was also the first time in so long that he didn't bring her with him since he entered the palace. That's right, she made a mistake. She forbids her feet, maybe … In the future, the emperor wouldn't care about her anymore, right? Thinking this, he subconsciously asked, ”Who did you take with you?”
”Imperial Concubine Yi, Consort, Consort, Consort …” Little Qing said softly.
”There's quite a lot of people going.” Rong'er smiled wryly but didn't say anything. He lowered his head and focused on embroidering the handkerchief in his hand.
Seeing Rong'er like this, Xiaoqing felt her heart ache. How could she not know what her master was thinking?
At least Rong'er knew that the current Jing`er was also safe. At the end of October, Noble Lady De gave birth to a child, a brother. Unfortunately, the emperor was not in the palace at the time. But there were also orders to return and have the steward take care of it.
In the middle of November, the emperor returned to the palace with his empress dowager, but the emperor had still not come to see her.
”Mistress, since the Noble Lady De gave birth to her prince, the Emperor has often gone to see her. She seems to be very spoiled right now.” Little Qing handed Rong'er a hand stove.
How could the weather be so cold at the end of November? Rong'er gripped the furnace tightly, not saying a word, and Xuande also gave birth to a prince, while Brother Ah Ge ordered Zhi Yin's name to be Yin, which was called Yin. He taught the Imperial Concubine Yi how to support him, which should have made the emperor happy, right?
”Mistress, you have been grounded for almost two months. What are your thoughts?” Xiaoqing asked in worry.
”I seem to understand the feelings of Queen Xiao Zhao now.” Rong'er smiled gently.
”Master, look at you. You're still smiling.” Xiaoqing sighed as she spoke.
Rong'er smiled lightly, but didn't say anything. She had truly experienced the feelings of a filial queen, and the feeling of a ”forbidden foot” hadn't been pleasant at all. Although their range of movement usually wasn't that far, and they would sometimes remain in the palace all day long, the feeling of being grounded was frightening, and she always thought about how if the emperor was tired of her, the emperor would ignore her, and the more she thought about it, the more scared she would be, and the more depressed she would be. At that time, the filial queen felt the same way; however, she was more fortunate than the filial queen, because she still had two children under her knees.
Rong'er thought self-deprecatingly as he looked up at Xiaoqing, ”Where's Rongxian?” This was the Emperor's special treatment for her. The two children were still by her side, so her restriction was only to prevent her from leaving the palace. However, the eunuchs in the palace could still go in and out, as could the two children.
”Princess is telling a story to Brother A in Brother A's room!” Little Qing smiled and said, ”She woke up early in the morning and wanted to tell Brother A a story. We couldn't do anything about her, and Little Brother also liked listening to her.”
”Oh, really? We'll go and take a look. ” Rong'er stood up happily.
After exiting the East Warm Pavilion, the gatekeeper suddenly came to report. ”Master, Eunuch Gu, the head of the honorable room, has arrived.” Rong'er felt a little strange and hurriedly went out to welcome him.
”Greetings to your concubine, your servant has sent the emperor's dictum.” The counselor hurriedly bowed to Rong'er.
”Eunuch Gu need not be so polite, sorry for the trouble.” Rong'er made a guess in his heart. He wondered what kind of message the emperor would give out at this time. From the looks of it, this advisor's actions didn't seem to be a bad thing.
The consultant smiled and said, ”Rongzi, the Emperor has decreed that your ban will be lifted. You can continue to operate normally tomorrow.”
”Oh? ”Why?” Rong'er asked, staring at the consultant.
Counsellor Xing looked around him. There were no outsiders. He whispered, ”Your Highness said that you didn't participate in this matter much. You've been confined for nearly two months. That's why you've been released today.”
