Wei Yanwan returns to Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace, Ruyi please stand aside

"Your Majesty, you have come to pay your respects to the Empress Dowager again."

Aunt Fujia’s unshakable habit was to greet Yongyan at the door every day.

Throughout his life, Fu Jia followed the empress dowager and met many princes and princesses. The only one who was willing to listen to the empress dowager was Yongyan.

As soon as Yongyan learned to read, he caught the empress dowager's eye and was always around her. When he was old enough to pick up a pen, he began to copy Buddhist scriptures with her.

"This kid is so."

Fu Jia heard the Empress Dowager sigh more than once. Fu Jia knew that the Empress Dowager was wondering how Yongyan could have such concentration. He was just a three or five-year-old boy, yet he could accompany the Empress Dowager to copy Buddhist scriptures for a whole day.

Others were more or less trying to please the Empress Dowager, but Yongyan was not like that. The Empress Dowager was sometimes afraid that Yongyan might really attain enlightenment through Zen meditation.

Fortunately, Yongyan only likes Buddhist scriptures and he still has to do his daily work.

"Yongyan, now that you are here, I am afraid I cannot accompany you to copy Buddhist scriptures today."

When the Empress Dowager looked at Yongyan, who was as tall as a pine tree, she realized for the first time that she was aging.

How could she not age? Yongyan, whom she had personally raised, had been emperor for several years.

She had the habit of copying Buddhist scriptures every day. Yongyan accompanied her from when he was a child to now when he was the emperor. She came every day. The Empress Dowager was used to it.

However, time makes people grow old. When the Empress Dowager woke up this morning, she felt that she could not get up at all.

After struggling for half an hour, she finally accepted the fact that she was too old and announced it to Yongyan.

"Grandmother, without you, Yongyan would be without a backbone..."

The Empress Dowager really didn't expect that her words would make Yongyan cry.

After three dynasties, the Empress Dowager thought that Yongyan was more or less concerned about her, and she never imagined that one day, if she passed away, her grandson would cry more sincerely than her son.

Hongli was the first son raised by the Empress Dowager.

In terms of intelligence, Hongli was only as smart as Hongluo, but in addition to being smart, Hongli was also very suspicious.

The Empress Dowager always felt that Hongli's suspicion was different from that of the previous emperor.

The late emperor’s suspicion was severe, and it was for the sake of state affairs and the world.

As for Hongli, his suspicions were all for himself, for his sole throne.

The Grand Empress Dowager saw through Hongli's vigilance and calculations towards him from the first moment she saw him, so she didn't beat around the bush with Hongli.

It was made clear when they first met that she had no intention of replacing Hongli's biological mother. The two of them were just cooperating, and naturally they would behave themselves if they were honest.

Of course, these words were said in an extremely tactful way. The Grand Empress Dowager saw from Hongli's confidence in paying his respects the second time and his initiative to get close to Longyue that Hongli had listened to what the Empress Dowager said and wanted to be a mother and son with her that could be needed by outsiders.

Why did the Grand Empress Dowager feel that Yongyan should stay away from her when he saw she was ill? It was because she forced Hongli to sit on the throne, and Hongli no longer had the Grand Empress Dowager in his eyes.

"Get up, Yongyan. Since you like coming to the Imperial Grandmother's place so much, you can come to the Cining Palace to copy Buddhist scriptures every day as before. Although the Imperial Grandmother cannot move her hands, it is good for her to listen to you talk and talk about the scriptures."

The Empress Dowager had been with Yongyan for many years and could not bear to see him sad, so she agreed to his request.

As for whether Yongyan would come or not, the Empress Dowager was not so looking forward to it.

Unexpectedly, Yongyan's visit lasted for several more years. After the Empress Dowager passed away, Yongyan still went to Anhua Hall every few days to talk to the Empress Dowager's spirit tablet.

"Grandmother, I copied a Buddhist scripture today. My first child turned one year old today. I think if Grandmother were here, she would be very happy."

"Grandmother, I will teach my son everything you taught me."

"Grandma..."

Yongyan burst into tears as he spoke.

Yongyan sometimes felt that the Empress Dowager's importance in his life surpassed that of many women and even many people in his heart.

Whenever he thought of this, Yongyan couldn't help but think of Yanwan.

Yongyan remembered what Yanwan said when she first called her to come to the Empress Dowager.

"Yongyan, my mother has limited knowledge, but you are a smart child, and I don't want you to waste time by my side.

In the future, you should go to the Cining Palace more often and learn from the Imperial Grandmother, okay?"

Yongyan was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Whatever my mother says is what it is."

Yongyan didn't quite understand Yanwan's intentions at that time, but he was willing to listen to whatever Yanwan said.

But ever since he copied a Buddhist scripture in front of the Empress Dowager, Yongyan fell in love with it and went to the Cining Palace to accompany the Empress Dowager in copying Buddhist scriptures.

Yongyan also knew why Yanwan asked her to do this.

Later, many of Yongyan's strategies for governing the country were based on Buddhist scriptures, as well as the governance strategies that the Empress Dowager had intentionally or unintentionally instilled in Yongyan.

Yongyan learned and did it all.

Yongyan raised his head and looked at the tablet of Empress Xiao Yichun placed beside him. Yongyan stood up and touched it.

"My Queen Mother, you should live happily with Jinzhong."

In addition to being influenced by the Empress Dowager since childhood, Yongyan also witnessed Jinzhong's kindness to Yanwan and the Emperor's suspicion of Yanwan.

After the emperor fell ill, he was unable to handle many things and gradually became wary of and even jealous of Yan Wan's abilities. If it weren't for the Empress Dowager's suppression, who knows what unpleasant things the emperor would have said to Yan Wan.

Yongyan occasionally heard the emperor sending everyone away and questioning Yanwan.

"I can't be a husband. Do you despise me? Don't you?"

Yan Wan always knelt down and explained in panic that she didn't do it and she didn't dare to, and she comforted the emperor that his health was more important.

Yongyan had heard such words for several years. Sometimes the emperor would lose his temper and hurt Yanwan. Once hurt, the emperor would immediately change his face and apologize to Yanwan.

This went on for several years. Sometimes Yongyan felt that Yanwan shouldn't try to please the emperor like this.

Yan Wan just touched Yongyan's forehead.

"When you grow up, you will understand why your mother does this.

When you are older, you will be able to handle these things."

This wait lasted until Yongyan was made the new emperor. It was also at that time that Yongyan understood Yanwan's difficulties.

Yan Wan finally took the fake death drug one afternoon.

In fact, Yongyan could see Yanwan's determination to leave and her tiredness from her endless instructions in the past few days.

Yan Wan was trapped in the palace for her entire life.

So Yongyan acquiesced to Yanwan's departure. The only surprise was that the Empress Dowager helped Yanwan when the Emperor almost discovered that Yanwan had faked her death.

Yongyan didn't know what the Empress Dowager was thinking, but since the Empress Dowager was willing to help him, Yongyan didn't need to say anything.

When Yongyan was first introduced to love, the Empress Dowager taught him a piece of "Rogue", and only then did Yongyan seem to understand the Empress Dowager's thoughts.

Later, when Yongyan was appointed as the queen, the Empress Dowager was also happy for a long time. Yongyan's wife was gentle and virtuous, and was very friendly to the concubines and princesses in the palace.

The Queen Mother had watched her for several years and was very satisfied with this grandson's daughter-in-law. It could even be said that this grandson's daughter-in-law was hand-picked by the Queen Mother.

The Queen's ability to manage the harem was so good that Yongyan sometimes felt that he was redundant in the harem.

The Queen could play mahjong with the Imperial Concubine, the imperial concubines and the Grand Empress Dowager.

The concubines even took turns serving the emperor in bed. No one ever thought that anyone should serve him more, and they were too lazy to compete for favor.

All the children born were thrown into Xiefang Palace, and their mothers were busy eating cakes, making cosmetics, and looking at clothes and jewelry every day.

Sometimes Yongyan even had to take the children with him to disturb the Empress Dowager.

Every time at this time, Yongyan was very grateful to the Empress Dowager for choosing a good queen for him. The concubines chosen by the Empress for the Emperor were also of the same kind.

Everyone is good at finding fun for themselves.

One day, Yongyan saw them having so much fun that he knelt down in front of the Empress Dowager and cried.

"Grandmother, if I hadn't held you back, you would probably be free."

For the first time, Yongyan felt that he was selfish. He gave Yanwan freedom, but trapped the Empress Dowager for life.

The Empress Dowager just shook her head and said earnestly:

"Some people are suitable for the palace, like me. I can survive in the harem with ease, but some people are not."

"I have something I cannot give up, and that should be me here."

The Empress Dowager could not abandon her children, nor could she give up the family behind her.

Sometimes the Empress Dowager envied Wei Yanwan. She had no family and no burden behind her, so she could be so free and unrestrained when she left the palace.

The Empress Dowager was willing to oblige.

For the sake of their old friend at Tonghua Terrace, the Empress Dowager was willing to help Yanwan and Jinzhong get together. The Grand Empress Dowager even thought that Yanwan and Jinzhong were more courageous than they were back then and they loved each other just as much.

Yongyan cleaned the spirit tablet for Empress Xiaoyichun, and then saw the spirit tablet of the late emperor.

Next to the late emperor's spirit tablet is the spirit tablet of Concubine Qing.

She passed away during her afternoon nap a few years after the death of the previous emperor.

Yongyan remembered that it was also a beautiful day with willow catkins flying.

Yongyan never shied away from the idea of ​​killing the emperor and his father, because he had seen and heard too many evil deeds of the emperor.

Yongyan couldn't forget either. After Yanwan left the palace, the emperor pretended to be affectionate and reminisced about her in Yongshou Palace all day long.

Yanwan left in a hurry and did not have time to take away the two little goldfish given by Jinzhong. The emperor kept talking to the little goldfish all day long.

"Empress, you don't know how lonely I am. You are so bright and lively. You can learn everything and you know everything. You also gave me a good son like Yongyan."

When the emperor cried for the third time, Yongyan hurriedly asked the eunuch to secretly replace Yanwan's fish and send it to the place where Yanwan settled.

Yongyan hated the fact that the emperor missed Yanwan so much because the emperor didn't just miss Yanwan.

Before coming to Yan Wan's Yongshou Palace, the emperor went to Changchun Palace and sat there for a long time. Every time he went there, he would always talk to Jinbao beside him.

"It was here that Empress Xiaoxian cried to me about the loss of my son with her. It was also here that she gave birth to my seventh prince. Unfortunately, the seventh prince also died young.

Even my daughter, Jingse, is here to accompany me and Empress Xiaoxian."

Jinbao's ears were almost callused from listening to him, and he had to take a few leaves from the tea left by Empress Xiaoxian many years ago to brew for him.

The emperor walked with unsteady steps and sipped his tea.

"Well, that's what it tastes like."

Jinbao dared not say anything, but asked the imperial physician to come and check the emperor's pulse in time, because he was afraid that the emperor was poisoned by the tea that was decades old.

It would be fine if the emperor only remembered Langya and Yanwan.

He also had to go see Concubine Han and Concubine Wan.

In Han Fei's Chengqian Palace, he said how beautiful Han Fei was. He looked at Han Fei's and his portrait and felt extremely satisfied. Then he sighed.

"Alas, it's a pity that Concubine Han is a person of unruly character. But she is also a beautiful woman that I have rarely seen in my life."

When visiting Concubine Wan's bedroom, he would always mention Concubine Chun, who was also honest and simple.

"Wanpin is similar to Concubine Chun but also different. Sometimes I always wish that it would be nice if Wanpin dared to be in front of me like Concubine Chun.

But it’s not good either, Wanpin, there are always some differences between Wanpin and me.”

The emperor missed the women he had loved. After expressing his deep affection, he passed by the Yiku Palace sadly.

Sighed:

"My Qingying is gone after all."

Yongyan always felt uncomfortable when he heard these words. As an emperor, Yongyan also had six concubines, but Yongyan could boldly admit what these concubines meant to him.

Unlike the emperor, he never admitted why he allowed these women into the palace and what he did to them. He only remembered his own pure love.

Later, it was the Empress Dowager who answered Yongyan's doubts.

“You and your concubines are the ruler and the subject, nothing else, so you are in a place where no one needs to be embarrassed.

Your royal father, he always picks on people one by one, favors them one by one, and then forgets about them one by one.

How can a woman who is in love be lovable? A woman who is not lovable cannot survive in front of the emperor.

So they died one by one. They died, but the emperor remembered them and they became lovely. That’s all.”

"Your Royal Father never loved them, but his countless loves."

Yongyan nodded in understanding.

On the day when willow catkins flew into the emperor's bedroom, Yongyan saw everything. It was also from the empress dowager that Yongyan knew why he did it.

He did not like the emperor, he hated the emperor and his hypocrisy.

So Yongyan allowed the willow catkins to fly into the palace and allowed them to take the emperor's life.

Yongyan wiped the emperor's spirit tablet clean and retreated from Anhua Hall.

After a long time, a woman came out from the side hall.

She is the queen now.

The queen lit three incense sticks in the incense burner with trembling hands.

She was still frightened. She looked at the tablet of the Empress Dowager and recalled the instructions she had given her.

"Yongyan seems to be a man who does not fight with the world, but in fact he is the most thoughtful and calculating person in his heart, and he is also the most patient. In particular, he knows clearly which is more important, the country or the harem.

As the queen, you must not compete for favor, and secondly, you must not allow the concubines in the harem to compete for favor."

The Queen did as the Queen Mother said at the time, but because of her youth and deep affection, she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart, and Yongyan always treated her differently.

She had just felt a little bit of love when she was completely dead.

The queen rubbed her temple and said to her aunt beside her:

"I am feeling unwell. Please tell the emperor that I will not be able to sleep with him any longer. Please ask the other concubines to accompany the emperor more."

The aunt looked at the queen's belly and said:

"Yes. The Queen has been working hard for many days and needs to take a good rest. The Imperial Concubine is a good hand, and I will ask her to take care of the affairs of the six palaces.

I think Concubine Xian is also free. Your Majesty, just take a rest."
