In the plum garden of the palace, Su Wanrong walked quietly, admiring the early winter plum blossoms. Han Yu walked slowly to her side and began his carefully planned emotional test.
"Wanrong, I have observed that you get along very well with Chu Fang'er," Han Yu deliberately mentioned, observing Su Wanrong's reaction. "I am considering making you sisters, to assist me together. What do you think?"
Su Wanrong was slightly surprised, but she quickly regained her composure and answered with a smile, "Your Majesty, it is Wanyong's honor to become sisters with Chu Fang'er and work together in the palace. Wanyong has no intention of competing for favor, only wishing for harmony in the palace and stability in the country."
Han Yu looked into Su Wanrong's eyes, trying to find any jealousy or discontent, but only saw sincerity and calmness in her eyes.
"Wanrong, the reason I brought this up is because of the unpleasant experiences in the palace in the past. I do not wish for history to repeat itself," Han Yu said in a deep voice, referring to the past events between Chen Huang'er and Chen Feng'er.
Su Wanrong took a deep breath, understanding in her heart what the Emperor was referring to as history. She earnestly said, "Your Majesty, servants understand your concerns. Although servants became a concubine due to a chance encounter with Chu Fang'er, servants have no intention of seeking the position of a concubine. In servants' heart, what is more important is the overall situation of the royal family and the future of the country."
Han Yu listened and gradually the probing look in his eyes turned into satisfaction and reassurance. He deeply understood Su Wanrong's character, and now he was even more convinced that she surpassed the ordinary sentiments of a woman, possessing a broad mind and profound wisdom.
"Wanrong, my trust in you has never wavered, and today I am even more certain that you are my wisest choice," Han Yu praised sincerely.
This emotional test not only strengthened Han Yu's trust in Su Wanrong, but also solidified and dignified Su Wanrong's image in the harem. She proved her generosity and wisdom through her actions, adding a more solid foundation to her position in the palace.
---In the early morning palace, tranquil and solemn, Han Yu sat in the study, with various assessment reports and records about Su Wanrong placed in front of him. After a long period of observation and evaluation, he was ready to make the final assessment of Su Wanrong.
Su Wanrong was summoned to the study, she walked steadily and calmly. After these repeated tests, she had learned to face all possibilities.
"Wanrong, during this time, I have tested you in many ways," Han Yu got straight to the point, his tone serious but with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, I am aware of the challenges of being in the harem, but I am willing to prioritize the interests of the country and Your Majesty." Su Wanrong's response shows her wisdom and broad-mindedness.
Han Yu nodded and continued, "In my assessment, you have shown extraordinary wisdom, steadfastness, deep loyalty, and broad compassion. I have found that you possess exceptional talent in both political strategy and understanding of human nature."
Su Wanrong listened with a calm expression, but a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"Therefore, I have decided," Han Yu stood up and walked towards Su Wanrong with a firmer voice, "to elevate your status to Second-rank concubine, in charge of the affairs of the six palaces, making you the leader of the harem, assisting me in governing both the internal and external matters."
At this moment, the air in the study seemed to freeze. Su Wanrong bowed deeply, her heart filled with complex emotions.
"Your Majesty, isn't there still the Empress? It is not appropriate to bypass the Empress and directly control the affairs of the six palaces," Su Wanrong said uneasily.
Han Yu With a slight smile and a serious expression that exudes trust: "Wanrong, I know you have doubts in your heart. However, the you that I see far exceeds the stature of an ordinary concubine. What I need is someone who can work together to govern the world and shoulder heavy responsibilities. As for the Empress's recent slight illness, I need your help to manage the harem on behalf of the Empress."
Su Wanrong Listening quietly, she knew that every decision the Emperor made was carefully considered. She took a deep breath and bowed in response: "Your Majesty, since you have such high expectations for Wanrong, she will surely not disappoint, and will do her utmost to share your worries and relieve your burdens."
Han Yu nodded in satisfaction, a hint of contentment flashing in his eyes: "Wanrong, I believe in your ability and loyalty. From today onwards, you will be the head of the harem, my right-hand woman."
Su Wanrong stood tall, her gaze determined: "Your Majesty, thank you for your trust. I will not fail in my duty."
With the end of this conversation, Su Wanrong's status and destiny underwent a qualitative change. She rose from a fourth-rank Yonghua to become a second-rank concubine in charge of the affairs of the six palaces, becoming the most powerful figure in the palace apart from the emperor.
With the first ray of sunlight shining into the palace, a eunuch walked slowly into Su Wanrong's palace, holding the emperor's decree. Su Wanrong was already prepared, knowing that this summons might change her destiny.
The eunuch solemnly proclaimed the decree: "Su Wanrong, you have been summoned! By the emperor's decree, for your outstanding performance in various tests, you are promoted to the position of Second-rank concubine, in charge of the affairs of the six palaces. It is hoped that you will assist the emperor in governing the world."
Su Wanrong listened, then bowed deeply, feeling a complex mix of emotions. She was well aware of the heavy responsibilities behind this honor, as well as the pressure and expectations from all sides.
"Thank you for the Emperor's grace. I, Wanrong, will not disappoint and will fulfill my duties with utmost loyalty," Su Wanrong said firmly and resolutely.
The eunuch nodded slightly, looking at Su Wanrong's imposing demeanor from the inside out, and silently agreed. He had seen too many changes in the court, and the current Su Wanrong gave him a feeling of greater resilience after experiencing trials.
Outside the palace, the early spring plum blossoms were in full bloom, and a faint fragrance wafted through the air. Su Wanrong walked out of the palace and stood under the plum tree, her eyes gazing into the distance, seemingly contemplating the path ahead.
At that moment, Han Xi quietly approached her and asked softly, "Mother, you seem to be burdened with worries. Is it about the new responsibilities?"
Su Wanrong turned around, seeing her daughter's concern, and felt a warmth in her heart. "Xier, I'm not worried about myself, but rather thinking about how this responsibility signifies more challenges and tests. But I believe that, for the future of the royal family and the country, all efforts are worthwhile."
Han Xi grabbed Su Wanrong's hand and said firmly, "Mother, you can definitely do it well. Both father and I believe in you. And you are not alone, we will all support you."
Su Wanrong felt the support and trust from Han Xi, and a warm smile appeared on her face. In this moment, she became even more certain of her path. Although the future may be full of challenges, she is no longer alone, and the support and love of her family will be her greatest strength.
