The concubine gives birth to a true dragon, but the empress dowager has the heart to raise it;

The prince left his concubine at the age of six, studying hard to meet them.

In December, in the midst of a heavy snow, the concubine gave birth to a prince, the mother and child were safe, the baby was born in the morning, Rong'er waited outside until the mother and son were safe before returning to rest in the chamber, but in the afternoon Rowan, Gou-er and Toya came over to say that they had gone to see the concubine in the afternoon, and they were very unhappy, it was said that the Emperor had seen the concubine today and said that the new prince would be given to the Empress Dowager to raise.

According to the rules set by the emperor, a concubine could take care of her children, so why would she give it to the empress dowager to raise? If the empress dowager wanted to raise a prince, then neither Prince Zhi nor Yin had mentioned it before. Why was she only a concubine's child?

After Xuanye's dinner, he would often take a walk around the palace for no important reason. Since the Yikun Palace, where Rong lived, was close to the Palace, he would often visit his son's sleeping quarters.

tonight, Xuan Ye arrived as scheduled, and as soon as he entered, Rong'er impatiently asked, ”Your majesty, why did chenqie hear that a new prince suitable for a concubine would be sent to the empress dowager for raising?”

”Oh!” Xuan Ye nodded and slowly walked to the side of the brick bed to sit down. ”Rong'er's news is pretty well-informed, isn't it!”

”How could I not know? Today, everyone who went to see the concubine knew that the concubine was upset.” Rong'er frowned, not understanding why the emperor had suddenly turned so ruthless.

”I also know that she is sad, so I didn't stay in the Palace for long. I'm afraid that I don't feel good looking at her.” Xuan Ye sighed helplessly and said, ”But since Imperial Mother has already opened her mouth, how could Zhen refuse?”

”Did the empress dowager ask for it? Your consort even thought that the empress dowager wouldn't want to raise any more children after her longevity. ” Rong'er sat down next to Xuan Ye, puzzled.

”Alas, when Long Sheng had just passed away, the empress dowager was extremely saddened and didn't want to raise him anymore, so she didn't mention raising him, but it's been years since then. In fact, the empress dowager had wanted to raise him back then, when Yin Zheng was born; only, before Pin De had even given birth, the Imperial Concubine Yi had said every day that if Xuande gave birth to a prince, she could raise him. You know that the empress loved the Imperial Concubine Yi and couldn't bear to let her down, so the concubine ended up raising her again.” Xuan Ye sighed. ”I know that Imperial Mother still misses longevity. Having a prince by her side can be considered a blessing in disguise. I can't bear to refuse, so I have no choice but to suffer and give in. She's still young and still has a chance to give birth.”

”So that's how it is.” Rong'er nodded lightly. ”Then chenqie will understand the emperor. It's just that the emperor has to properly console little sister Yi Lan.”

”Sigh!” Comforting... But Rong'er, you also know, can this comfort come over? It's going to be hard for a while anyway. ” Xuan Ye smiled and held Rong'er's hand. ”Rong'er, I know that you've been working hard in the imperial harem recently. It's really hard on you to have care of your sisters.”
