Traveling through life as a widow: six sons to support her in her old age

Several princesses are missing. Lan Qiyan is wondering how could people go missing in such a heavily guarded palace?

No one would believe this unless there was an insider.

But just when she was proud of the security measures in the princess's mansion, her daughter was lost.

Yu Zian jumped up immediately, and the whole city was on alert, searching every house.

Lan Qiyan looked at the toys scattered all over the floor in his daughter's room and fell into deep thought.

Lan Xiaoqi rushed in anxiously, "Mom, where is my little sister? Did Chu Xuan take her away?"

Lan Qiyan pointed at the toy and said, "No one can take your little sister away unless she is willing to go."

"Mom, what are you talking about? I'm only six years old, still a child. There must be other people around Chu Xuan. How can I deal with it alone?

The mansion is heavily guarded, even more so than the imperial palace. How could someone break in? Mother, why don't you say anything? I don't think you're in a hurry at all."

Lan Qiyan asked the two little girls to put away the toys, and then said to Lan Xiaoqi, "She has a lot of small weapons on her. Just wait and see. Wherever there is an explosion, that is Chu Xuan's lair."

Lan Xiaoqi suddenly realized, "Mom, there is a bomb on my little sister?"

"Yes. It's more powerful than the one I put on your father."

"Will that blow up herself?"

"No, don't worry. She won't let herself get hurt. Otherwise, why do you think I left her in Beijing without caring about her? The reason is that she doesn't want to go out with us. She wants to play by herself. Look at all her toys. Which one is for girls to play with?"

Lan Xiaoqi roughly knows what they are. Some are called hammers, some are called screwdrivers, and some are various small iron parts. I don't know what the little sister is researching.

Lan Qiyan also regretted it. Ever since he took out a solar-powered lamp four years ago, his daughter has become interested in this kind of thing.

Other girls love playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, or poetry. At worst, they can learn needlework. But her daughter, who is fair and tender, insists on learning how to make tools, both for agricultural and commercial use, and she never gets tired of these things.

However, a seed drill has been modified in the past two years, which has greatly freed people's hands and the response has been good. I heard that a new loom is being researched recently.

If it weren't for the impact of this incident, it would have been figured out by now.

"Mom, there was an explosion coming from the direction of the palace." Lan Xiaoqi said excitedly.

"Okay, I see. Go and take a look. And by the way, clean your little sister and send her back."

"I won't go. I'm sleepy. I'm going to sleep."

Although Lan Xiaoqi was very confused, he still returned to the palace obediently.

When he saw Yu Shu, Lan Xiaoqi finally understood what his mother meant. He covered his nose and looked at Yu Zian, "Your daughter is out, send her home quickly."

Yu Zian covered his face and said, "I don't have a daughter, I don't know her, you can take her away by yourself."

Lan Xiaoqi finally understood why her mother didn't come. No one knows a daughter better than her mother. It was her fault for detonating the bomb in the toilet.

Now there is shit everywhere and I don’t know where to start.

Yu Shu's face turned black. "Dad, tell me again that you don't have a daughter. If you say it again, we will sever our father-daughter relationship. I will find a new father immediately."

Yu Zian's face turned even darker. "Do you know how worried Dad is about you? Who asked you to put yourself in danger?"

"I'm worried when I see you guys doing things. A group of people can't even find Chu Xuan. If I don't take action, you guys will be there early. I don't know why, why don't I find any advantages in you."

When everyone heard this, they wondered who they were scolding.

Why does it sound so ugly?

Yu Zi'an endured the stench and carried Yu Shu back home, and after several scrubbings he finally cleaned her.

Lan Qiyan stood at the door every day to watch over her daughter. She didn't want to go in and hug her. After all, hugging her daughter who was pickled with shit was not good for her stomach.

But even so, Chu Huai did not order the execution of Chu Xuan, but only imprisoned him.

After this incident, the world was at peace, the rivers and seas were clear, and everything was moving in a good direction.

Yuqi is simply an indefatigable tiger. He will not start a family until he returns to Beijing. Every day when he opens his eyes, he does it to increase the territory for Laoliu.

It took Yumian five years to improve the country's water conservancy projects. Neither the country nor the people need to worry about flood disasters every summer.

Yu Xiu took Wu You to travel across every inch of the country, and promoted all suitable agricultural and cash crops based on the terrain and soil.

He also compiled a book on agricultural affairs and published it nationwide.

People can see the origin of each type of grain, its pest and disease control, and how to increase its yield.

Yu Ze was in charge of civil officials as the Grand Tutor, Yu Qi was in charge of military officials as the Grand Marshal of the Army, Yu Xiu was in charge of agricultural affairs as the Minister of Agriculture, and Yu Zhen became the largest imperial merchant, so all important economic departments were under his control.

Yumian took over the Ministry of Works and was responsible for water conservancy, civil engineering and transportation, while Lan Xiaoqi was specifically responsible for receiving envoys and pilgrims from all over the world.

With them around, Lan Qiyan felt at ease traveling around the country with Yu Zian. The two of them returned to Beijing once every six months, mainly to see their children.

They returned to Beijing and lived there for half a year when their two sons were four years old and were starting their education.

Then he left again, this time taking the naughty Yu Xiaobao with him.

Because this guy is lawless and can walk around the capital with ease.

So Lan Qiyan took him to suffer some hardship.

Time flies, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. The children have all started their own families, but Chu Huai's health is getting worse and worse, and has been getting worse in the past two years. On the day Lan Qiyan entered the palace, Chu Huai's body finally couldn't hold on, and he died at the age of 46.

Shen Yuge and Chu Huai had been quarreling for many years, and as Chu Huai's harem became more and more full, the relationship between them dropped to freezing point.

However, on the night after Yulin succeeded to the throne, Shen Yuge died in Lan Qiyan's arms.

From then on, Yulin’s prosperous dynasty began.

Chu Huai and Shen Yuge were buried in the imperial mausoleum. The concubines without children were allowed to return home, while the concubines with children were allowed to leave the palace and continue to live together.

Yuze has become the Grand Tutor.

As the noble eldest princess, Lan Qiyan didn't worry about how Yulin managed the country, nor did she worry about what official positions her children held. She was just worried about the two bachelors in her family.

One is the sixth son who is the emperor, and the other is the third son who only knows how to fight.

She was almost forty years old. In ancient times, this would mean a person with one foot halfway into the coffin. What could she do with two naked children?

But getting married is not like you can just marry anyone. There is no point if you don't start.

Lan Ranzhi came to pay her respects with a group of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Lan Qiyan looked at the crowd and all he could hear were the voices of grandma, grandma, grandma, which was so noisy that it hurt his ears.

She looked at Lan Ranzhi for help, "No need to greet me, I'm old now, I like quietness."

Lan Ranzhi's mouth twitched, "I will trust you if you put down your bag. The New Year is coming soon. If you don't stay to look after the Third Brother, won't you feel guilty?"

Lan Qiyan shook his head. "If I stay, I will feel guilty. My children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. I can't care about so many things. Look at how many of my friends have left. If I don't go out and play, I won't have time."
