Rong'er thought to himself, ”When a child grows up, he has to leave his mother's side. If Prince Yin wants to become a pillar of the country, Prince Rong will marry someone else. At that time, however, I …” Would it be lonely?

A few days after Imperial Consort Yi had diagnosed that she was pregnant, Princess Qining, who had been brought to Imperial Concubine Yi less than two months ago, suddenly became hot, and in just three days, she died. Imperial Concubine Yi had always wanted to raise her child, but after much difficulty, she died a premature death, and when she was raising it, it was with sorrow and despair. Rong'er would visit her every day, and Imperial Concubine Yi was a person with an exposed personality.

In order to comfort the two of them, Xuan Ye also took time out to accompany them. A month later, Imperial Concubine Yi finally diagnosed that they were pregnant, and a month after Imperial Concubine Yi diagnosed that they were pregnant, Imperial Concubine De became pregnant once again. The two women who had just lost their daughters became pregnant again, causing the depressed atmosphere in the palace, which was brought about by the early death of Ning, to slowly dissipate.

Initially, Rong'er was very happy that Yi Feifei, Imperial Concubine Yi and Imperial Concubine Yi were pregnant, but in December, when the Imperial Consort Wen who had just reached sixteen years of age was pregnant, he suddenly felt a little disappointed.

”Little Qing …” I haven't had a child since the earthquake, and the concubines in the palace are getting used to it. But why am I the only one who isn't pregnant? ” Rong'er frowned as she looked at Xiaoqing.

”Mistress, you are old. Isn't it normal to not have children!” Little Qing smiled as she changed the topic.

Rong'er lowered his head in disappointment and said softly, ”Next February, Prince Yin will be six years old and will be leaving this palace. Xiaoqing, do you know how reluctant I am?”

”Master …” Xiaoqing looked worriedly at Rong'er, ”Didn't you always say that when a child is older, he will leave his mother? Didn't you already think it through?”

”That may be true, but I'll still feel sad when I see Zhi'er leave in three months. Xiaoqing, I'm just an ordinary mother …” Before Rong'er could finish her sentence, he heard a shout from the door, ”Mother!”

Rong'er eased his expression and looked at the Rongxian who had just entered. ”Xian'er, I didn't see you or Zhi'er after lunch. Where did you run off to?”

”Niang'er, originally, I was going to go with Zhi'er to find the crown prince, but as soon as we left the palace, I happened to see Jingjing, so I went to play with her. This is why I went to find the crown prince by myself, so there's no need for Niang Niang to worry. Eunuch Wei is with me.” said the emperor with a smile.

”You are a princess, always the crown prince. ”Running around the palace is too outrageous, and so is Prince Yin. His lessons are heavy, and he's always going to disturb us!” Seeing this, Xiaoqing hurriedly whispered, ”Master, why don't I send someone to look for Ah Gou. Eunuch Wei is too outrageous. Why don't you urge Ah Gou to come back?”

Rong'er shook his head. ”No need. Does he really not want to stay in this palace?”

”Mistress, Little Brother Ah is not even six years old yet. He just likes to play with princes of similar age. How could he not want to stay in the palace? Please don't think too much about it.” His master had recently become extremely depressed. Xiaoqing knew that he was about to leave the palace. Her master was sad, but there was nothing she could do about it.

”Alright, I won't think too much about it.” Rong'er forced a smile and looked at Rongxian, ”Are you two doing well?” Rong'er thought that it had been a long time since she had seen the two of them.

”En, it's pretty good. Grandma Bu made a beautiful doll for Jingjing. She made one for Xian`er as well!” Rongxian said coquettishly, tugging at Ronger's sleeve.

”Haven't I done it for you before?” Rong'er looked amiably at his daughter. ”That's right. It seems that it's been a long time since I've seen that cloth doll …”

”Heh, last month, I went to see Zhoujing, and she seemed to like it. Since I'm the elder sister, I'll give it to Zhoujing!” He scratched his head and smiled at Rong'er.

Rong'er pulled Rongxian into his arms. ”Our little princess knows how to share good things with others. He's such a good child. Alright, I'll definitely make you a new one and reward you with a new one!”

Rongxian hugged Rong'er's neck and gave her a fierce kiss, ”Mother, this is great! ”The first lady is the best, and the spices must be put in the doll. Oh, said Huang Ama, the imperial doll is just like the first lady!

”Alright!” Rong'er looked at his daughter's joyful smile and happily agreed.

As they spoke, Zhi Yin returned. As he entered the palace gates, he noticed that his face, body, and hands were all dirty.
