Deprived of his adopted son's heart, he felt flattered and comforted;

Toya was pregnant to add to the good news, Yi Kun was happy sisters.

In the afternoon, Rong'er took Rongxian and Yinzi to the concubine storage palace. When they entered the palace, they found out that Wen Fei was actually there as well. She knew that she had a good relationship with her concubine, after all, she had a good relationship with her concubine back in the day, so it was only right that she was close to her younger sister.

Rong'er bowed, and a pair of children bowed as well. She said softly: ”Imperial Consort Wen is here as well.”

Imperial Consort Wen nodded gently, ”I'm fine too, so I'll take a seat at Sister Hui's place.”

The concubine smiled and looked at Rong's children. ”Rongxian, bring your little brother to Hui-niang.”

”Alright!” In the palace, Rongxian didn't hold any grudges against anyone. He took the lead of Prince Yin to walk in front of his concubine.

Rongxian lowered his head and said, ”Zhi'er, recite this poem for Esteemed wangfei.”

”Elder sister, which one are you reciting?” ”What's wrong?” Prince Fu asked obediently.

”Just recite the book I taught you yesterday.” She knew that her little brother was gone, and she was very sad. So she wanted to let Prince Yin coax her into being happy.

”Oh, okay!” ”Yes,” he agreed, lowering his head to think before he picked it up. ”It's the middle of the day hoeing, so sweat drips down my body. Who knew that even the grains in my plate would be so hard to eat.”

Seeing that he had memorized her, the concubine smiled. ”Zhi'er's amazing, do you know the meaning behind this poem?”

”I know!” ”Big sister taught me that if we don't eat, we'll get hungry, but the food we eat is something that the commoners have to work hard for, so we have to eat seriously. No one is allowed to refuse to eat, and no one is allowed to pick out food.”

”That's right, every spring the emperor, Ama, would personally come to the vassal lords to offer sacrifices to the farmers and plow the fields himself, so that we could harvest even more grain in the Great Qing Dynasty!”

Seeing how serious the two children were, the concubine smiled and took them into her arms. She said, ”Rong'er, you sure are fortunate to have a good constitution and a good sense of affairs. It's no wonder the emperor always kept these two children on his lips.”

”That's right. Elder sister Rong is truly blessed, being loved by the Emperor. She also has a group of children under her wing, so it's hard for her not to make others jealous.” Imperial Consort Wen also laughed and said.

”Imperial Consort Wen, I …” Rong'er knew that the Imperial Consort Wen had not been favored by the emperor yet. After all, she was still young, and the emperor had once told him that the emperor had a small knot in his heart when facing the Imperial Consort Wen, making it seem as if he was looking at a filial queen. She would always feel a little guilty when she saw her, and would always feel uncomfortable in his heart. However, Rong'er thought that Imperial Consort Wen wouldn't care because none of the imperial concubines under the age of sixteen had been favoured by her.

The emperor is now twenty-seven years old, and the beautiful girls are required to participate in the selection once they reach the age of thirteen. Therefore, the empress had set down a rule that the empress would be favored when she reaches the age of sixteen, and those under the age of sixteen would stay in the palace for the next year.

”Elder sister Rong, don't worry. I'm just joking. Good fortune is good, don't be afraid of others being envious.” Imperial Consort Wen's face revealed a sincere smile. Seeing that smile, Rong'er's heart became a bit more at ease. Imperial Consort Wen was still young after all, so her character was still rather lively.

Seeing that this topic had made them both feel awkward, the concubine hurriedly continued, ”Ah, Rong'er, you brought two little fellows here. All of a sudden, you feel that the palace is bustling with noise and excitement. Is it even possible that your place is bustling with noise and excitement every day?”

”Yes.” Rong'er smiled and nodded. ”Esteemed wangfei, don't always stay in this storage palace. When you're free, come to my palace and walk around. Since we're so close, it's just a matter of standing up for you.”
