If it wasn't required by the mission, she would never have given birth to a child. Human life is too heavy and she doesn't want to bear the burden.

She raised a kitten, and she could ensure that her kitten had good food and shelter, and lived a happy life. Although some accidents might happen, it would not cause death.

But child, she can't.

Xi Lan hesitated, "Master, have you thought about the future?" The emperor will pass away one day, and the prince will succeed to the throne. It is obvious that the master's life will be very different.

Yu Sui met Xi Lan's worried gaze and thought to himself: Kangxi is really long-lived. I don't have to worry about him for at least the next thirty years.

"Xi Lan, who can tell what will happen in the future? Just live in the present." This is her mission, to grow old together. She will really wait until they have white hair and grow old together.

Xi Lan was silent. She knew that the future was uncertain, but who doesn't live for the future? Who doesn't think about how to live in the future? She was still thinking that when she was old, either her master would reward her with grace and let her leave the palace to live in luxury, or she would live with her master by his side in her old age.

After the first month of the lunar year, Yu Suishui followed Kangxi back to Changchun Garden and continued her farming life.

The time she spent obsessed with farming seemed to have been accelerated to three times the speed, and in the blink of an eye it was July of the 35th year of the Kangxi reign.

When Concubine Yi's twelve-year-old youngest son Yinzhen died of illness, she cried uncontrollably in Ruizhu Courtyard.

The child was supposed to get married in two years, but in the blink of an eye, he was separated from his family forever. Yu Suisui was called by Kangxi to comfort Concubine Yi.

She arrived at Concubine Yi's courtyard and sat dryly on a chair next to Concubine Yi. She wanted to speak several times but she didn't know what to say.

If you put your own little cat in her shoes, she would definitely be very sad and could only sit aside and watch Concubine Yi sad.

Yinzhen was not only the first son that Concubine Yi lost, but also her most beloved youngest son. Because of her poor health, she had always favored him a little, which she could not accept now.

Yu Suisui went to see Concubine Yi twice. Seeing that she was unable to get over the situation, he told Kangxi about it and asked Kangxi to comfort Concubine Yi.

No matter how much Concubine Yi liked her, it was definitely not as good as Kangxi's.

After Xi Lan came back from Concubine Yi, she was extremely grateful that her master had never experienced the pain of losing a child. Looking at Concubine Yi's appearance, she really didn't want her master to raise a child.

The next year, not long after, Defei also lost her youngest daughter whom she had raised by her side. That was the first daughter Defei raised by herself. Her first daughter died young, her second daughter was raised by the Empress Dowager, and the third, the youngest daughter, was raised to be as beautiful as a flower and would be able to get married in a few years, but she also died of illness.

Kangxi lost two children who were about to grow up in succession, and he felt a little sad, so he came to Yu Suisui to relieve his worries.

The two looked at each other, not knowing what to say. Kangxi said nothing, and Yu Suisui just stayed with him.

More than a month passed before Kangxi's mood eased. On the third day of May, Kangxi went to his mausoleum again. Yu Suisui had lost his temper by this time.

Sometimes she couldn't tell whether Kangxi was truly affectionate or just acting, but after so many years of acting, no matter how fake it was, there was still some meaning in it.

Over the years, people around Yu Suisui came and went. Xianxiang also left the palace and got married, and was replaced by Cuitao, a seventeen-year-old girl with two dimples when she smiled.

Sometimes she couldn't even recall what Zi Pu looked like. She heard from Xi Lan that she married the young man she had always wanted to marry since her youth. They lived in harmony, their children were well-behaved and clever, and their eldest son had passed the imperial examination and was a promising scholar.

Jiliang married the young guard who liked her and is now happy. She wishes Xianxiang, who also left the palace, a happy and fulfilling life.

Yu Suisui held Xi Lan's hand and saw two white hairs on her temples. She remembered that Xi Lan had been with her for twenty-six years. Time passed quickly and slowly. She raised her hand and touched her own temples. Maybe there were two white hairs hidden there as well.

"Master, do you want to send something to Concubine De?" Xi Lan asked. Over the years, the relationship between Concubine De and the master was neither close nor distant. They could only say a few words and greet each other when they met. It was not as good as that of Concubine Yi, but compared with others, the relationship was close.

What to send? Nothing could soothe Concubine De's pain of losing her daughter. She hadn't sent anything to Concubine De before, and now more than a month had passed, so there was no point in sending anything again.

"No, just let Concubine De rest in Ningchun Hall." Yu Suisui didn't want to go and comfort Concubine De. She didn't want anyone to see her sadness.

Unless that person is Kangxi.

Xi Lan also thought that Concubine De had just arrived at Changchun Garden not long ago, so if the master was unwilling, then forget it.

When they arrived at Taipuxuan, Kangxi had not come yet. Yu Suisui asked someone to bring out two rocking chairs and placed them under a tree not far from Taipuxuan. She wanted to get some fresh air and take a nap.

When I woke up, it was already dark. I turned around and saw Kangxi lying on his side in another rocking chair, holding a book.

"Awake?" Kangxi heard a slight noise, turned around, and saw Yu Suisui yawning. He had slept for the whole afternoon, wasn't he already slept enough?

"Get up when you wake up. It's time to have dinner. If you go back to sleep, you won't be able to sleep at night." Kangxi stood up and pulled Yu Suisui up.

It doesn't mean that the older you get, the less you sleep. This Hesheli is still able to eat and sleep as before.

Yu Suisui followed Kangxi to Taifuxuan. Perhaps she had not slept enough, so her mind was not clear and she was confused.

After dinner, the two took a walk. Kangxi talked about the prince with some dissatisfaction, "Yinreng's temper is becoming more and more arrogant now."

Yu Suisui knew very well that this was Kangxi's own indulgence. How could a prince who was born to enjoy the best treatment treat his half brothers and sisters as his real brothers?

The most taboo thing between children is favoritism and unfairness, but Kangxi did all these.

Not expecting Yu Suisui to answer, Kangxi said again, "I wonder if he will do something absurd in the future!"

This son was really spoiled by him.

It's so absurd that you raised the banner of balance in the court. Several sons became chess pieces in your hands. You played the roles of father and son, monarch and minister to perfection.

There have been a few princes in history who ascended the throne smoothly. The prince is probably walking on thin ice now. I really envy them.

"Now that Concubine De and Concubine Yi are recuperating, and the Imperial Concubine is not yet old enough, I was thinking, why don't you take over the palace affairs?" Kangxi asked. After all, the Imperial Concubine was not old enough and her abilities were a little weak, and the Crown Princess was in charge of too many palace affairs.

Yu Suisui quickly refused. Was she crazy? She felt that her life was too comfortable with the power in the palace in her hands. She suggested, "Your Majesty, why don't you arrange a few aunts to take charge of the affairs for the imperial concubine? I don't know how to do anything. Wouldn't it be a nuisance to take care of this?"

Kangxi asked again in a deep voice, "Are you sure you don't want to take over?" He still hoped that Hesheli could take over, but he didn't force her if she was unwilling.

"If it's too much trouble, I'll do as you said and assign a few aunts in charge to you." Kangxi turned the ring on his hand. Hesheli had a long history with Fangyi, so the Crown Princess would definitely show her more respect.

Yu Suisui waved her hand and said, "I still don't want to. I have been living in Changchun Garden with the emperor all year round. I return to the palace for less than three months a year. I am used to living in the same place with the emperor. I am afraid I cannot get used to living in the palace." She was almost saying that she can't live without you. She must be with the object of the mission.

Kangxi looked down at her. This Hesheli was still so clingy. It had been more than 20 years. Never mind, it would be the same to arrange a few aunts for the imperial concubine.
