Travel through different worlds and experience different lives

These twenty years were not all spent on having children. The emperor was still very dedicated. Now the surrounding countries have become vassals of the Qing Dynasty.

In other words, before abdicating, the Qing Dynasty had already unified the world. Although it took twenty years, this was the result of the emperor's frequent and persistent asking. Otherwise, it might not have been possible to unify the world even if another twenty years were given.

But it's not bad now. An Lingrong is very satisfied with everything now. She finally doesn't have to stay in the palace. She is only 37 years old now. She has been wearing a mask for the past 20 years. Now that she has come out, the emperor said: Rong'er, I haven't seen your face for 20 years. Can you take off the mask?

It was my fault before, I really didn't think about those things. I also know that you have a grudge in your heart, but we have been together for twenty years, and you have seen my actions in these twenty years. Can you let go of the grudge?

An Lingrong lowered her head and thought for a while and said: Then Your Majesty can take it down himself.

After saying that, he poured some water on his face. The emperor's hands were shaking with excitement. After taking off the mask, he was so shocked that he didn't know how to speak.

Her face has not aged at all, but has gained the charm of a married woman and a more seductive look, which makes people want to possess her when they see her.

The emperor was shocked and excited, excited but a little overwhelmed. He was old now, and although he looked like a man in his forties, he always felt that he was not worthy of An Lingrong. He felt sad and a little inferior. Maybe this was love, but the emperor didn't know it yet.

An Lingrong looked at the lonely emperor and smiled as she looked outside the carriage and said: Your Majesty, do you know what type of man I like?

The emperor felt a little sad, a little relieved, and a little curious when he heard this. He asked with a little sadness: What kind of man does Rong'er like?

An Lingrong smiled and said: I like men who are tall and mighty but also mature and gentle, with a wheat-colored complexion. They don’t have to be handsome but must be masculine, and their voices must be deep and magnetic, and also... Before she could finish her words, the emperor hugged her and kissed her little mouth.

After kissing for a while, she said uncertainly: You mean, you like men like me?

An Lingrong said helplessly: Yes, I don’t like weak scholars, nor do I like those who are too short, so I did like the emperor at first sight, because I don’t like those who are about my age.

I like mature men, but I don’t like my man to have other women. That’s why I don’t want to sleep with him. If you hadn’t promised me that time, I would not have consummated the marriage with you.

I'm ready to live a carefree life in the palace.

Upon hearing this, the emperor was so happy that he was like a child and said: That’s great. Ever since you ignored me and ignored me that time, I have been absent-minded in court all day. I don’t know why at that time, maybe it was because I was unbalanced, or maybe it was because I was unwilling to not get you.

But I don’t want to force you. I feel that if I force you, I will really lose you.

Later, the ministers explained to me that with your personality, you would not choose to share a lover with someone else, so the reason you didn't sleep with me was actually because you mind that I would have the smell of someone else on me, and you would feel disgusted.

It was when I went to the palace that I realized that instead of losing you, it is better to lose those women whom I don’t love. After all, you are the woman I want to have at first sight, unlike Chunyuan. I didn’t understand it before and thought Chunyuan was a considerate and eloquent woman. Later I understood that it was not love, but just a kind of egoism of men.

You are different. You give people the feeling that you don't need anyone. If you need someone, it is someone who fights side by side with you, not someone who treats you as someone who needs care. Although you also need care, you are not treated like a child, but someone who gives you trust and freedom. Only in this way can you care about the person who gives you freedom.

An Lingrong smiled and said: That's why I gave birth to a child for you. In fact, I gave birth to a child because I thought that in the future, all the children in the court would be our own. When the eldest brother gives an order, all the brothers will work together, and then no one will be able to withstand such a dragon spear.

Moreover, our children do not need to be suspicious of each other, because each of them is an emperor. It does not matter who is the emperor. What is important is the relationship between their brothers, which cannot be represented by a throne.

The emperor smiled and said: Thank you, Rong'er, for letting me know that it's not that the throne is not important, but that I don't have brothers who are truly for me and trust me.

It’s not that the royal family has no feelings, but that the royal family’s feelings have been affected by the ruthlessness of generations of royal families.

You gave me a different dynasty and brought peace and prosperity to the world. Thank you.

An Lingrong was stunned when she heard this, and said with a smile: “Your Majesty, how do you know that this is not the peaceful and prosperous world you have exchanged for your sincerity?”

Only when you give sincerely will you know how pleasantly surprised you will be when the rewards come, and only then will you know whether your efforts are worth it.

The two men traveled around the Qing Dynasty for ten years, and then went abroad for another ten years. Now the emperor is almost eighty years old, and the two men started to return. The things they brought back for their children over the years made the Qing Dynasty more glorious and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

The emperor, who is almost eighty years old, is still in good health and looks only about fifty years old. This is because the couple has not stopped exercising over the years.

The spiritual energy in An Lingrong nourishes the emperor's body.

However, the emperor is about to reach the end of his life. No matter how well-nourished his body is over the years, his soul also has its age.

An Lingrong saw that the emperor's soul had begun to show signs of death. In a few years, the emperor would leave this world, but he would not die of illness. It could be said that he would leave without illness or pain.

An Lingrong looks to be only twenty years old now. If she wasn't actually in her fifties, almost sixty, no one would believe that this appearance was real.

After the emperor returned to the palace, he met with a group of children. It was really sad that the eldest son Hongyi suddenly didn't want to see his father and mother. Hongyi, who was only in his forties, looked mature and steady, but why was his father only a little older than him? It seemed that his father was already in his eighties?

He looks like my older brother. I don’t know what to say.

Especially my own mother, can you grow younger? How come you are like my own daughter at your current age?

The emperor didn't know what to say. Looking at the fifty or so children, he didn't know what to say. The third prince was still honest. Indeed, without Zhen Huan and Yi Xiu, these children were still very good. Although the fourth prince was ambitious, he also knew that his brothers were more suitable to be the emperor.

The most important thing is that his brothers have a good relationship with him. They don't make things difficult for him because of his mother's ugliness. Although he is a few years older than these brothers, most of the time he is still taken care of by these brothers. His personality is also different from that in the TV series.

It’s really good that the Fourth Prince now knows how to be grateful. This is mainly because An Lingrong is very kind to several princes and does not look down on any of them because of their mothers or anything else.

What An Lingrong said was that they were all her and the emperor's children, and there was no need to compare one to the other.

There is no need to feel inferior. You are all princes. No matter who sits on that position in the future, you are all brothers and can support each other. Good brothers work together.

Only those who can't stand seeing the brothers have such a good relationship would say that the royal family is ruthless. This is only because the royal family has the power of life and death. They can decide their life and death, so there is such a saying.

As an emperor, if he cannot be ruthless and be decisive in killing his ministers when they do something wrong, then this bad habit will only get worse and eventually his country will be ruined by the treacherous ministers.

These dozens of brothers did not need to kneel, they just had to stand and bow. This was the treatment they received as princes, and it was also a sign of respect for their brothers.

The Emperor and An Lingrong are now truly surrounded by their children and grandchildren. Others come in groups of one or two, but what about them? There are groups of them, even during the New Year's greetings, there is no end in sight. Well, it's just what you would expect, two or three hundred children.

Yongzheng and An Lingrong had more than fifty children, and even the youngest ones had their own children. To be honest, even if they each had one child, there would be a hundred of them now. Now each person has at least four or five. Well, it's a huge crowd.

Yongzheng looked at this scene and said with some lingering fear: Rong'er, do we have too many children?

An Lingrong was stunned when she heard this and said helplessly: Didn’t the emperor worry about having few offspring?

Why are you still not happy now that there are more?

Yongzheng said somewhat helplessly: The main reason is that I haven’t remembered the names of these children for a long time.

I don’t even know which one is the great-grandson and which one is the grandson. I’m a little confused.

An Lingrong thought for a while and nodded: I don’t know either, I can’t remember. We are all old, so we don’t need to care too much about this.

Anyway, if we can't remember, someone will remind us.

On this day, An Lingrong felt that Yongzheng's birthday was coming to an end, so she called the children to see him for the last time. After the children all came to see him, An Lingrong said: "Children, your mother and your father are leaving us soon. You must take good care of yourselves. Your father and I are very pleased and proud to have such talented children like you."

You don't need to be sad. This day comes to everyone. If you look at it in a positive way, you won't be so sad. Your mother and your father left nothing for you. After we are gone, you don't need to fight for anything. We have divided it all among you.

Don't feel that it's unfair. You are all treasures in the hands of your father and me. From now on, you will have to walk your own path.

You all go outside and have a rest. Your mother will have a chat with your father.

Yongzheng also knew that his time was running out, and he smiled and nodded, saying: Okay, I am old, and you are still young, you don’t look like you are in your 50s or even 60.

An Lingrong smiled and said: Don't worry, I will stay with you. The children are all grown up and there is nothing we can't let go of.

If you're not here, there's no point in me living, so I plan to go with you.

Upon hearing this, Yongzheng was so moved that he hugged An Lingrong and said: Ronger, thank you, thank you for liking me, thank you for falling in love with me, and thank you for bringing me true happiness.

Thank you for letting me see the prosperous dynasty, and thank you for being willing to accompany me.

After saying this, Yongzheng was so moved that he shed tears and took his last breath. An Lingrong looked at the man who was holding her tightly and said with a smile: Thank you too for helping me complete the unified empire.

After saying that, he closed his eyes.
