I just want to live a happy life

Hongyao's excellence proves that he has taught well, but the better he is, the more it also shows that there is not much to teach him. So the next step is to snatch his throne.

The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became. Sometimes he even wanted to attack Hongyao, but thinking about his age, he sighed and knew that he no longer had the chance to choose.

Moreover, he only had a few princes. The Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince were not suitable as one was disabled and the other was playful and had no ambition. There was only the Third Prince, but he was too stupid and was not a good candidate.

But he was the only choice.

Otherwise, why didn't he promote the Third Prince, give him some power, and let him serve as a whetstone for the Sixth Prince Hongyao?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. His royal father had asked his eldest and second brothers to do this in the first place, and this would also help to balance the court.

So he found the Third Prince and wanted to give him some tasks. He felt that as a prince, the prince would always have some ideas about the position he sat on. However, the Third Prince was not the kind of person whose ambition would be aroused little by little by the Queen.

He now clearly knew that he was mediocre and had no ability, so he refused without a second thought when the emperor asked him to do some important tasks.

Seeing him like this, the emperor felt that his efforts were in vain, and the Third Prince refused to accept the challenge at all.

Yi Xin knew that when the emperor called the Third Prince, she knew what he was going to do. It was really too difficult for him to hide his thoughts. Was fear a common problem in the royal family?

Or is he jealous of Hongyao's excellence?

If Hongyao was not still young and needed the emperor's support, and she did not want the ministers to say that the country was in turmoil due to the young ruler, she would have killed the emperor long ago. How could she tolerate him having such thoughts?

But it doesn’t matter. The original owner’s wish still existed, which was to take revenge on the emperor. What she had done to him before were just minor incidents.

So in the following time, every time the emperor was afraid of Hongyao, she would take action against him. For example, he would fall while walking, and even if there were people around him, they couldn't stop him.

There are also things like choking while eating, choking while drinking water, etc. Each of these things is very small, but if they happen frequently, it will be very annoying.

Because of this, the emperor suffered from minor illnesses frequently, and later on, an imperial physician was stationed in the Yangxin Palace so that he could see the emperor at any time.

Although the emperor told people around him not to talk about the things that often happened to him, there were always one or two big mouths who would inadvertently tell others about it, and with Yi Xin's instigation, these things became more and more widely spread.

Later, there was even a rumor among the people that the ancestors of the Aisin-Gioro family could no longer bear it and came specially to teach the emperor a lesson. Combined with what had happened before, it was the ancestors' punishment for his unfilial behavior.

I have to say this was a beautiful misunderstanding.

Even so, it did not stop him from having fun. Maybe it was because he was getting older, but he increasingly liked to find young and fresh concubines to sleep with him.

Although the emperor now has fewer concubines in his harem than the previous emperor, this does not mean that the emperor does not value beauty. These concubines are only in name only, and he actually has many women.

Not to mention those who were forgotten by the emperor, there were quite a few women kept in the enclosure behind the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

Gradually, he became tired of these women who were gentle and considerate to him, and just like in the original plot, he fell in love with Ye Lanyi, a horse trainer at the time, while he was spending the summer in the Old Summer Palace.

He felt that Ye Lan'yi's heroic and bright appearance was very much like the young Nian Shilan. Because of his brother's death, Nian Shilan had been suffering from major and minor illnesses over the years and was no longer the same as before.

He also went to see him, and she didn't know if it was because of his brother's death or because he didn't visit her often, but she didn't like him as much as before and didn't respond much when she talked to him.

He knew she was blaming him, but he had let Nian Gengyao off many times. It was Nian Gengyao who was not content and did not fulfill his duty as a subject.

Thinking of Ye Lanyi's personality, this is also a comfort to him. He didn't expect that he would meet someone with such a similar personality to Shilan.

On the second day after Ye Lan'yi served the emperor in the imperial court, she came to pay her respects to Yi Xin. As Yi Xin was the Imperial Noble Consort, her rank was the same as that of the Vice Empress, so all the concubines in the harem were required to pay their respects to her.

It’s just that Yi Xin was lazy and didn’t want to get up early, so she asked the concubines to pay their respects on the first and fifteenth day of every month.

Yi Xin sat on the throne and looked at Ye Lanyi below. She saw that Ye Lanyi was wearing a cyan Manchu dress embroidered with acacia flowers. Although there was no expression on her face, her manners were polite.

In the original plot, when Ye Lan'yi entered the palace, Yi Xin had already been in the cold palace. She had no intersection with her, and naturally no contact with her. Yi Xin was very calm towards Ye Lan'yi and had no special reaction.

She was only told to live in harmony with the other concubines and then let go.

The emperor seemed to be very fond of Ye Lan'yi. Not only did he promote her to a noble lady in a short period of time, he also visited her often. Even though Ye Lan'yi was tired of him and went against him, the emperor was never tired of his behavior and never got angry.

But what she didn't know was that Ye Lan Yi didn't like him at all. Even though he doted on her and rewarded her with many good things, she remained indifferent.

A few years later, Hongyao reached the age to get married. After Yi Xin carefully selected his wife, Hongyao got married soon.

After the marriage, Hongyao set up his own household and attended court. Hongyao was very capable and convinced the ministers in less than a year. As the emperor watched the ministers gradually turn to Hongyao, he became more and more wary of him.

Her son is already capable, so the emperor cannot keep him.

Ye Lan Yi was in love with Prince Guo. She often wore clothes in green and blue because of Prince Guo. So when she learned that Prince Guo was in love with one of the emperor's concubines, she didn't think it was treasonous at all. Although she felt a little sad, she felt more distressed that Prince Guo could not be with his beloved.

Especially after learning that Zhen Huan was killed by the Emperor, she became even more determined to enter the palace even though she didn't want to, and also to avenge Zhen Huan for Prince Guo. It was already very pitiful that Prince Guo and his lover were separated by death, so she should do the revenge herself and must not involve Prince Guo.

So she changed her previous cold attitude towards the emperor, and became caring and considerate to him. The emperor did not think it was wrong at all. He just felt that Ye Lan Yi was conquered by him.

He is the emperor, it is impossible for his concubines not to like him.

Because of Ye Lanyi's change in attitude, the emperor began to favor her again, which made it easier for Ye Lanyi to take action against her.

The necklace she wears every day is hollow. Previously, contraceptives were placed in it, but later she found it too troublesome and drank the abortion soup instead.

Even if she died, she would never give birth to a child for someone she didn't like. But now, in order to kill the emperor, she put it on again. It contained medicines that were harmful to the body.

Under Ye Lan'yi's actions, the emperor gradually became weak. He had been poisoned by drugs before and had finally been able to have sex. But after Ye Lan'yi took action, the emperor's ability to have sex became worse and worse.

The more he didn't want to admit that he was old, the more he had to prove himself.

One night, when the emperor was sleeping with his maid, he suddenly convulsed and died in a short time.

In such a shameful way.

Because the emperor didn't move, the palace maid screamed in fear. She didn't even bother to put on her clothes and ran out, saying that the emperor was dying.

The commotion here was very loud, so Su Peisheng hurriedly went to invite the imperial physician, and also asked someone to invite the concubines headed by Yi Xin to come over.

The concubines were all waiting anxiously, but the imperial physician was powerless as the emperor had already died of a stroke.

Hong Yao had already gained control of the situation. After the emperor got into trouble, he quickly took control of the capital, including the palace.

As for the emperor's departure, not many people were sad. It was really because what the emperor did was too hard to say. He actually died at the hands of a woman.

The emperor's pretentious behavior after ascending the throne successfully made him famous in later generations, but it was not a good reputation, especially after Yi Xin later recorded various things that happened after entering the palace, which made the emperor infamous for eternity.

Things like forcibly seizing his concubine's sister to be his principal wife, especially when this principal wife was already engaged, killing his own child with his own hands, using the concubine as a substitute, etc.

And those Yi Xins who had suffered misfortune every other day during his lifetime were not spared either, and they made sure to make his bad reputation known to everyone.

Isn't it that he cares the most about his reputation? But she did the exact opposite, which was especially dismal when compared to his son.

Aisin-Gioro Hongyao is a most famous epoch-making figure. If it were not for him, the Qing Dynasty would have slowly decayed, because it was proud of being the Celestial Empire and could not catch up with the pace of the times and fell behind other countries.

However, his arrival made the Qing Dynasty embark on a different path. The Qing Dynasty gradually became stronger. Not only did it not lose its territory, but its territory even became more vast, making it the most powerful country in the world.

The achievements he made were so great that he was not only called the Great Emperor, but was also worshipped by people.

As he became more famous, his father also became more "famous", and many people felt sorry for the emperor, thinking that such a person was not worthy of having a son like the emperor.

Of course that's all for later.

Back to the present, after the funeral of the late emperor, Hong Yao quickly ascended the throne and Yi Xin once again became the empress dowager.

Yi Xin became the most honorable woman in the country. The emperor was extremely filial to her. It can be said that every day of Yi Xin's life was not unhappy.

Although she had everything she needed living in the palace and she was the first to choose the good things, she was somewhat bored with life in the palace.

The truth is that she has been in the harem for half her life and just wants to go out for a walk.

So she decided to go out and have some fun, and go out for a walk from time to time. She had servants around her, and Hongyao arranged a lot of people for her because he was worried about her. Besides, she also knew martial arts, so she was not worried about encountering danger at all.

So, every time she went there, she always had a great time and came back with great joy.
