In the brightly lit palace, a long-planned test quietly unfolds.
Emperor Han Yu intends to test Su Wanrong's loyalty. Through covert means, he creates a situation that seemingly accidentally exposes important palace secrets to Su Wanrong, and observes how she will handle it.
One night, Su Wanrong received a secret report from a palace maid, claiming that an important document had been accidentally lost near her residence. The document involved royal secrets and national security. Su Wanrong was surprised by this and realized that it might be a test of her loyalty.
The palace maid, in a panic, said to Su Wanrong, "Lady Yonghua, if this document falls into the wrong hands, the consequences would be unimaginable. What should we do?"
Su Wanrong flashed a hint of insight in her eyes, but remained calm on the surface. She said to the palace maid, "There's no need to panic. First, we must ensure the safety of the documents, and then report this situation to the emperor."
She immediately arranged for someone to properly safeguard the document and privately informed the emperor of the matter, without leaking any information to outsiders or using the document for personal gain.
Several days later, Han Yu Emperor summoned Su Wanrong. A hint of probing could be detected in his expression as he asked, "Wanrong, I have heard that a document has gone missing from the palace. Are you aware of this?"
Su Wanrong replied, "Your Majesty, I have indeed heard about it. I have kept the document safe and have not let this matter leak out. I will now hand the document over to Your Majesty for disposal."
Han Yu took the document and glanced at Su Wanrong with satisfaction and appreciation: "Wanrong, I am pleased with your actions. Your loyalty and prudence make me trust you even more."
This test not only proved Su Wanrong's unquestionable loyalty, but also demonstrated her absolute devotion to the royal family. Her actions have earned Han Yu's deep trust and solidified her position in the palace.
Through this incident, Su Wanrong not only solidified her own image, but also further proved her value and importance as a member of the royal family. All of this has increased her prestige in the palace, and even the concubines who once harbored dissatisfaction towards her have begun to look at her with new respect.
At the splendid banquet in the palace, Su Wanrong was assigned a seemingly insignificant task - to oversee the arrangement of the banquet and ensure that everything proceeded smoothly.
This task is usually not considered prestigious among the concubines in the harem, but Emperor Han Yu did this to observe Su Wanrong's attitude and reaction when facing seemingly lowly duties.
Su Wanrong accepted the task without showing any discontent or pride. She took it seriously, personally inspecting every arrangement to ensure that every detail met the requirements of the banquet.
During the banquet preparation, a young concubine accidentally knocked over a vase, causing chaos on the scene. The concubine panicked, worried that she would be severely punished.
Su Wanrong saw this and not only did not blame her, but also comforted her softly: "Don't be nervous, this is just a small accident, we can fix everything right away."
Then, Su Wanrong personally guided the cleaning and rearrangement to ensure that the banquet could proceed smoothly as scheduled. Her humility and composure not only calmed the young concubine's mood but also made the other maids and officials present look at her with admiration.
On the evening of the banquet, Emperor Han Yu personally inspected the preparations for the banquet and expressed his appreciation for Su Wanrong's handling. In front of everyone, he said to Su Wanrong, "Wanrong, I am very satisfied with your performance today. You not only completed the task but also demonstrated your humility and generosity."
Su Wanrong smiled slightly and replied, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. servants only did what I should do."
This banquet was not only a test for Su Wanrong, but also a proof of her character. Her modesty and ability once again won the respect and recognition of the Emperor and the people in the palace.
In the depths of the palace, Han Yu decided to impose one final test on Su Wanrong - the test of love. He deliberately reduced his contact with Su Wanrong and displayed indifference towards her in public, in order to observe her reaction and inner changes.
Day after day, Su Wanrong felt the cold treatment from Han Yu, but she did not harbor any resentment. Instead, she became more focused on her duties and caring for the royal family members, especially Han Xi, with meticulous attention.
One evening, Han Xi felt exhausted from the pressure of studying, and Su Wanrong personally brewed medicine for her and accompanied her for a heart-to-heart talk.
"Mother, Father seems distant from you lately. Aren't you angry?" Han Xi asked cautiously.
Su Wanrong gently stroked Han Xi's head and replied with a smile, "Xi'er, this is normal in the palace. Your father has his considerations, and I won't harbor resentment because of it. For me, being able to take care of you and see you grow up healthy is my greatest happiness."
Han Xi was moved by Su Wanrong's words, her eyes slightly red: "Mother, you are really good, I have always been very grateful to you."
During this time, Su Wanrong also actively participated in the royal family's public welfare activities. Whether internally or externally, she has shown deep affection for the royal family and a sense of contribution to the country.
Several weeks later, Han Yu finally completed this test. He summoned Su Wanrong to the study and said to her affectionately, "Wanrong, you have performed exceptionally well during this test. Your love is not only in words, but also in actions. Your broad-mindedness and deep affection have deeply moved my heart."
Su Wanrong looked at Han Yu with a faint joy in her heart and replied, "Your Majesty, servants's love has never changed. Whether it's stormy or sunny, servants will always be by Your Majesty and Xier's side."
