The Legend of Concubine Su

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the young prince has grown to over five years old. Just like a fresh green leaf emerging on a spring day, he is full of vigor and vitality. Day and night, he always follows the figure of the Royal Grandmother Su Jingyue like a loyal little tail, never leaving her side.

Although the young prince was still young, his personality had already revealed some hints of mischief. His little heart was like a torch burning with a blazing flame, filled with an intense curiosity and a strong desire to explore everything around him. Whenever the Royal Grandmother Su Jingyue sat leisurely in the pavilion in the garden, holding a book in her hands, immersed in that precious moment of tranquility, the young prince would tiptoe and sneak up, sometimes reaching out his chubby little hand to carefully tug at the corner of her clothes, and sometimes blinking his watery, bright eyes, gazing at her with deep affection and hope, as if whispering, "Grandmother, please play with your grandson for a while!"

Yet, surprisingly, despite his somewhat mischievous nature, the young prince possessed a genuine enthusiasm for learning his new subjects. Whenever his grandmother, Su Jingyue, spared her precious time to personally instruct him in beautiful poetry and songs, as well as time-honored historical anecdotes, the young prince's bright, star-like eyes would instantly sparkle, as if he had found an inexhaustible treasure. He listened intently to her instructions, nodding his head to indicate his comprehension, and occasionally frowning, lost in thought, as if struggling to digest the knowledge he had learned. His undivided attention brought both comfort and joy to Su Jingyue.

Thanks to the meticulous nurturing and patient guidance of his Grandmother, Su Jingyue, the young prince, like a rising star, increasingly displayed exceptional talent and wisdom. He not only mastered a wealth of exquisite poetry and songs, but also gained a profound understanding of the philosophical truths of life. Through this period of study, he gained a clear understanding of filial piety, benevolence, and responsibility. He also increasingly cherished every moment he spent with his Grandmother, Su Jingyue, knowing full well that this amiable elder was not only his closest family member but also a vital and irreplaceable guiding light on his journey through life.

Just like that, the sunlight filtered through the mottled leaves and fell into the courtyard, creating patches of golden light that were as beautiful as a dream. In this warm and peaceful atmosphere, the young prince snuggled up to his grandmother, Su Jingyue, and together they spent countless joyful and unforgettable moments.

Each one is like a precious gem, embedded in the memory scroll of the young prince's childhood. Together they strolled along the garden path, admiring the colorful flowers competing for splendor; together they sat by the lake, listening to the sound of the water gently lapping against the shore, as if nature were playing a beautiful symphony.

During these wonderful times, the young prince's heart gradually ignited an infinite longing and ardent yearning for the future. He firmly believed that as long as he persevered in his efforts and diligently studied knowledge, he would one day grow up to be as knowledgeable and talented as his grandmother, Su Jingyue, and be respected and loved by everyone.

Just then, a graceful figure quietly approached. Han Xinxin, like a blooming flower, approached with graceful steps. Her beautiful face was adorned with a gentle and graceful smile, like the warm spring sun, bringing endless warmth and comfort.

Han Xinxin slowly walked over to the side of Prince Chen Yi. Her gaze rippled across her face, revealing a deep affection for him, yet also a hint of helplessness. Gently stroking Chen Yi's hair, she whispered, "Chen Yi, look at you, bothering your grandmother again! She's old, and not as strong as she used to be. She needs more rest. Be good, and go somewhere else and have fun." She winked playfully, as if hinting to Chen Yi not to overwork the grandmother.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi immediately jumped down from his grandmother Su Jingyue's lap. His small figure seemed a little clumsy, but his face was filled with an innocent smile. He said to Han Xinxin in a childish voice, "Your son pays his respects to the Empress Dowager. May the Empress Dowager be blessed with good health." His voice was clear and melodious, like the gurgling of a spring stream, bringing joy to the ears.

Han Xinxin smiled and helped Chen Yi to his feet, her eyes full of love. She turned to face Su Jingyue, bowed respectfully, and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May you live a thousand years. I am late, and I hope you will forgive me." Her voice was gentle and solemn, revealing her upbringing and demeanor as a member of the royal family.

Su Jingyue's lips curled up slightly, revealing a gentle and touching smile, and she nodded gently. Her bright, star-like eyes gleamed with warmth and admiration as her gaze slowly fell on Han Xinxin and Chen Yi, the enviable mother and son. At this moment, her heart was filled with endless relief and joy.

Su Jingyue knew that Han Xinxin was far more than just a gentle, elegant, and virtuous concubine. She remained calm and organized amidst the complexities of the palace, and treated everyone within with kindness and affability. Even more remarkable, as a mother, Han Xinxin's meticulous care for Chen Yi was truly remarkable, exemplifying her motherly demeanor through both words and actions.

And what about young Chen Yi? Under the meticulous care of his mother, Han Xinxin, he has already demonstrated intelligence and perseverance beyond his peers. Su Jingyue firmly believes that, given time, Chen Yi will grow into an outstanding prince who is brave enough to shoulder important responsibilities and achieve great things.

At this moment, warm and bright sunlight penetrated the window lattices, scattering all over the floor like broken gold, covering the entire palace with a layer of dazzling brilliance. This light seemed to have some kind of magical power, making the palace, which was already filled with a warm atmosphere, even more harmonious and pleasant.

Han Xinxin, Chen Yi, and Su Jingyue, the three of them standing side by side, formed a breathtaking scene. Han Xinxin was graceful and elegant; Chen Yi was handsome and heroic; and Su Jingyue was dignified and graceful. Such a beautiful scene could not help but captivate and inspire longing.
