Little Xuan Ye obediently walked over and looked at the baby in his forehead. She was so small, and her face was so pale; the baby was sleeping in her gentle bosom. Perhaps Xuan Ye had come in to disturb her, but she suddenly opened her eyes and saw Xuan Ye.
”Mother, she's laughing!” Xuan Ye raised his head and said to the Queen Mother with a smile.
”You're right. XiuNing likes the Emperor.” Kindness and the empress dowager smiled and nodded. They looked at their son and asked softly, ”Your Majesty, isn't Soo Ning cute?”
”Cute.” Xuan Ye replied obediently.
”Then can I let that Xiu Ning be the imperial concubine in the future?” Kindness and Her Majesty spoke softly.
”Alright!” Xuan Ye nodded seriously.
”XiuNing, you heard it right? The emperor wants to take you as his concubine. In the future, if his aunt's not here anymore, you have to promise his aunt that you'll take good care of the emperor!”
”Imperial Mother, you said some unlucky words again. Why aren't you here? It should be time to drink the medicine. Your child will feed it to you.” Little Xuan Ye interrupted his mother.
The constitutional queen turned around secretly and wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes.
Tong XiuNing's mother, who was standing by the side, and Fu Jin, who was also Tong Guowei, also lowered their heads.
Actually, they all knew that … Tzu He and the Empress Dowager's days... There weren't many left …
This scene, as I grew up, was often mentioned by my first wife...
(2) Entering the Palace
I am Tong Xiu Ning. From what I can remember, my mother-in-law was most interested in my imperial aunt, which is also the current emperor's birth mother and how the empress dowager dotes on me. She often said that she saw me many times in the last days before Tzu He and the empress dowager passed away.
My concubine told me that my aunt's last wish was to become the emperor's concubine, so I knew from an early age that I was destined to marry my cousin. Since I was young, I have never suffered. My mother and my father both loved me dearly, but my body was weak and sickly. Because I was sick, I hated myself for not being able to live up to my expectations.
I used to go to court when I was a child, but the most frequent visit was to the palace of the present Empress Dowager. My aunt was gone, and my aunt said that she had promised her aunt to love me for her sake. The empress dowager would occasionally look at me and lightly sigh. She unconsciously said, ”You're so weak, how are you going to enter the palace and marry the emperor?”
Actually, I really liked my cousin. Ever since I was sensible, I liked to peep at him, and in my young heart, I only thought of him as handsome and heroic. My cousin would sometimes pay his respects to the empress dowager, and he would also see me. Cousin is always very kind to me, he looked at me always warm, kind, concerned eyes. In fact, when I think back many years later, I always think that the way the Emperor looked at me from then on was more of a reminiscence of Tzu He and the Empress Dowager. Perhaps I only let him think that I am like his imperial aunt, or that my place in this palace is only a shadow of his imperial aunt's presence in this palace.
In the year of the Elementary Scholar selection, according to the rules of the palace, women who were able to participate in the selection had to be healthy and healthy. I was very thin and weak; I was personally selected by the empress dowager. I was directly conferred the title of consort, and as a result of my birth, I have never suffered in this palace. Her Majesty has taken care of all my affairs for me, and I have received more care than at home.
However, my girl's feelings didn't get the feelings I wanted. The emperor can't say that it's bad for me, but it's the same as before he entered the palace. Gentle care, warm greetings, if I get sick, he'll come visit me, but my feelings are merely the care of an elder brother, I feel wronged in my heart.
