The Queen Mother was still able to eat, sleep and worship Buddha.

But the Queen's life came to an end. On a clear autumn day, the Queen suddenly wanted to see Emperor Qianlong and her children. The family had a small gathering in Ruguhanjinli.

The queen left that night.

Yu Suisui didn't know whether the Queen was willing this time, and whether this life was better than her death in Texas thirteen years ago.

After the queen passed away, the empress dowager had people carry her to the mourning hall, cried for a while, and then returned to the Changchun Fairy Pavilion. The empress dowager began to have people pack up her things.

Sooner or later this day will come. Her brain is sometimes good and sometimes not, so she should deal with these things while she still remembers.

After the Queen's death, someone had to take care of the harem. Gao Qingning was busy taking care of her granddaughter, Yu Suisui had to accompany the Queen Mother, but Concubine Xian, who had been quiet for decades, was made Imperial Noble Consort by Emperor Qianlong this time, and was asked to take care of the affairs of the harem.

this......

Yu Sui didn't know what to say when he was forced to work at retirement age.

The Queen Mother persisted for a few years and passed away at the age of 98. Before she died, she held Yu Suisui's hand and told him her plans.

She still remembered her son and left most of her things to him. What she had originally intended for the empress was also given to the empress's children. Yonglian was gone, but his wife and children were still alive, so she divided some of her things among them.

Other princes and princesses also got some, but Qianlong only got a small half, and most of the rest belonged to Yu Suisui. There were a lot of jewelry that had been blessed. The Empress Dowager always felt that things that had been blessed and seen with Buddha and offered to Buddha had effect, so she left a lot of them for her.

Although she knew that everyone would die one day, and that it made no difference whether she died early or late, she was still sad, with a sense of loss. Sometimes when she put on a hairpin or a bracelet, she realized that the empress dowager was really gone.

Less than two years after the Empress Dowager passed away, Gao Qingning also passed away. She was so old that she had no teeth left and all she ate was porridge and soup.

The little princess sat on the footstool and cried loudly. The little princess is only over 40 years old now, and her children are still young. The oldest is only eleven years old and the youngest is only nine years old. Her mother has not yet seen her grandchildren grow up.

Yu Suisui sat on the bed, leaning against the bedpost. Gao Qingning saw her coming and stretched out his hand, "Wanyi, you're here."

She asked someone to bring a pillow and half leaned on the bed. She spoke slowly, "It's good that you came. Come and see me off."

Yu Suisui leaned forward slightly and took her hand, "Yes, I'll take you there." We are lucky to meet in this life, and I wish you peace, prosperity and longevity in the next life.

"I'm leaving. Don't cry. Take care of yourself and don't stay in the cold anymore. And be careful with what you eat." Gao Qingning spoke very softly. If Yu Sui's ear hadn't been sticking right in front of her, she wouldn't have been able to hear clearly.

Soon Qianlong also came. Yu Suisui stood up and gave him his seat, then pulled up the little princess on the step and said, "Let's go out and let your father talk to mother for a while."

Qingning must want to say goodbye to her husband properly.

It is such a rare thing to grow from a child to an eighty-year-old.

Gao Qingning died in Qianlong's arms. She had no regrets in her life. She had a husband, a confidant, and children. She had no regrets in her life.

After Gao Qingning passed away, Yu Suisui was in a daze for a long time. The empress dowager was gone, and she was gone too.

This time it really seemed like only she and Qianlong were left. She hadn't yet gotten over Gao Qingning, and the Imperial Noble Consort was seriously ill.

She walked halfway across the garden to see the Imperial Concubine. She was already very old, but her back, which was slightly straightened out habitually, looked familiar to Yu Sui.

On the third day after seeing the Imperial Noble Concubine, she left.

I hope she can go to a new world of freedom and equality and be herself.

After two old people left in succession, Qianlong saw that only she and Concubine Wan Chen were left in the palace, so he promoted Concubine Wan to a higher rank and became Concubine Wan.

Yu Suishui also became an imperial concubine, but she was too old to take care of the affairs of the harem. Qianlong asked Yongcong and his wives to move to Chonghua Palace where his father once lived. Two days later, he learned that his legitimate princess Hejing had also died in her sleep.

Qianlong was really old by this time, his back was hunched, and he no longer allowed Yu Suisui to live in the other side of the garden as she wished, but moved her to Tantandandan.

Living so close together, the two could see each other from time to time. As for Concubine Wan, they didn't know much about her before, but now that they lived close together, they could talk to each other.

Concubine Wan was a person who could endure loneliness, and she endured these long years alone.

-

"Mother Yi." The little princess, with her two children, is now staying in the Old Summer Palace and is still living in her own Ruizhu Palace.

Yu Suisui looked at her with hollow eyes, "You're here, are you okay?" The little princess was already in her forties, but she looked just like she was back then.

She looks so much like Qingning.

"I want to have a meal at Mother Yi's place. Mother Yi isn't that stingy, is she?" The little princess pouted, just like when she was a child.

Yu Suisui was dazed for a moment, then she regained her usual amiable attitude, "I'm not stingy. When will you return the flower crown you took from me?" It was a lotus crown she had made according to her own imagination. It was made entirely of Hetian white jade. It was obtained from Emperor Qianlong's warehouse.

"Oh, Yi'er Niang, I have something to do, so I won't eat yet." After saying that, he turned and ran away.

Yu Suisui shook her head and asked the little palace maid beside her to prepare two dishes she liked from the small kitchen and send them over.

Qianlong also retired this year and became the emperor emeritus. Although it was only a title, he still held power in reality, and Yongcong allowed this to happen.

He is old now and will not be the emperor for many years. Sooner or later, the position will be given to his son.

He let the children he chose study with Qianlong, while Yongcong himself had free time to drink tea and enjoy the scenery with his wife.

Yu Suisui did not try to persuade Qianlong, as this problem really had no solution.

Qianlong is now blind and deaf, and he can only hear what you say if you shout loudly in his ear. Now she says it once and then has the palace maid shout it again.

After abdicating for more than four years, Qianlong also reached his end. He called Yu Suisui and suddenly he became clear-headed and said, "I was still worried about what would happen if you died before me. Don't worry about it this time. Don't drop golden beans when I leave. I will go find Qingning and the others first. You can live a few more years up there. I have told Yongcong to ask them to keep a close eye on you."

Then he remembered something and said, "Go and get me the box from the bookcase over there."

Yu Suisui took the box as he was told. It was a long rosewood box with a gold-painted lily pattern. Yu Suisui held it in his hands and handed it to Qianlong.

"When I die, remember to give this box to Yongcong and tell him to put it in my coffin." Inside was the hair that Qingning had asked to be cut off when she was young. She had been thinking about that thing all her life, and she could only really do it after he died.

After Qianlong said that, he asked Yu Suisui to leave. He took out the jade pendant that had been with him all his life from his arms and touched it with care.

After Emperor Qianlong's death, Yu Suisui and Concubine Wan moved to Yuedi Yunju and Zibi Shanfang where the Empress Dowager once lived.

Yu Sui lived here quietly for seven or eight years. She saw off her friends in her later years and Yongcong. She waited for another two or three years. She was already a hundred years old. She lived for more than ten days before returning to the Space-Time Bureau.
