Xia Rou has been close to Chang Ning since she was a child. Originally, her family intended to betroth her to Chang Ning. However, her sister had no children after entering the palace for several years. So the family decided to send Xia Rou to the palace as well. Naturally, Xia Rou refused to enter the palace. However, she had to compromise under the hard and soft advice of her family.
Xuan Ye had no intention of accepting Xia Rou as his concubine. He did not want to hurt Chang Ning, who wanted to marry Xia Rou, and he did not want to hurt Concubine Tong, who was devoted to him. However, in subsequent contacts, he gradually fell in love with Xia Rou. However, Xia Rou had always been very resistant to the people in the palace and had a very cold attitude towards the emperor.
In fact, after Xia Rou entered the palace, she was gradually impressed by Xuan Ye's extraordinary talents. Over time, they both had each other in their hearts. However, one was hindered by ethics and the other was thinking about old feelings. Neither of them understood the other's thoughts, but chose to hurt each other.
After being entangled like this for many years, I realized that I had always loved each other deeply. However, the original passion was no longer there. The many concubines in the harem were also regarded by Xia Rou as lingering obstacles between the two. The chance to fall in love again was probably gone.
In a word~I missed it~I still missed it after all
