The Poisonous Concubine is alive
Chapter 188: Cultivation of body
Liu Yunrou had just given birth and had been recuperating.
Now Liu Yunrou has become the Queen Mother.
Ye Chenxuan also became the emperor emeritus.
The two children also had a wet nurse.
Time flies, and the children gradually grow up. Although Liu Yunrou is the queen mother, she still often teaches the children to read and write personally.
One day, the emperor came to pay his respects and talked about the border war. After hearing this, Liu Yunrou decided to send her own medical team to provide support.
She hoped to contribute to the country and its people through her medical skills. Thanks to her efforts, the medical team successfully treated many injured people and was praised by the people. Liu Yunrou also became famous and became a legendary figure praised by the people.
However, just as Liu Yunrou's fame reached its peak, a sudden plague swept across the country. The disease spread rapidly, afflicting countless civilians and leaving the imperial court helpless. Liu Yunrou was distraught, knowing the severity of the disease and the dire consequences if she didn't take timely action.
So, regardless of her own safety, she personally led a medical team deep into the epidemic area to find a cure. After arduous efforts, Liu Yunrou finally discovered a magical herb that could effectively inhibit the spread of the plague.
Without hesitation, she shared her discovery with doctors nationwide, and everyone worked together to fight the epidemic. Ultimately, thanks to Liu Yunrou's efforts, the epidemic was brought under control, and the country regained its former vitality.
Liu Yunrou has been frail and sickly since childhood. Her family, concerned for her health, has kept her recuperating in a secluded manor in Jiangnan. Here, the seasons are like spring, with birds singing and flowers blooming, and the air fresh and pleasant. Within the manor lies an exquisite courtyard planted with a variety of medicinal herbs, providing Liu Yunrou with nourishment. She has spent countless years here, immersed in her cultivation and savoring every detail of life.
In this tranquil manor, Liu Yunrou adhered to a regular routine, rising early each day to exercise and breathe in the fresh air. She learned the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, cultivating her spirit through poetry and song. In her spare time, she strolled through the courtyard, surrounded by butterflies and bees, listening to the chirping of insects and birds, and experiencing the beauty of nature.
The servants at the manor diligently cared for Liu Yunrou, preparing delicious meals and nurturing her health. Under the loving care of her family and servants, Liu Yunrou's condition gradually improved, and her complexion became increasingly rosy. However, she did not become complacent. Instead, she cherished her hard-earned health and worked hard to make her life more fulfilling.
Time flies like a song, and Liu Yunrou has spent countless springs, summers, autumns, and winters in the manor. She knows that this time of self-cultivation is her most precious treasure. In this peaceful manor, she has grown, gained insights into life, and learned to cherish. And this manor has witnessed Liu Yunrou's transformation from a frail young woman to a peerless beauty.
Empress Dowager Liu Yunrou, feeling slightly weak after giving birth, decided to recuperate in the palace to regain her strength. The Imperial Hospital prepared a special prescription for her, and assigned a dedicated group of palace maids to care for her. Her chambers were decorated in a warm and tranquil atmosphere, with the swaying bamboo outside her window adding a touch of poetry to her convalescence.
During this period of recuperation, Liu Yunrou minimized her involvement in government affairs, leaving state affairs to trusted officials and the emperor. She took her medicine regularly each day, following the advice of the imperial physician, and maintained a light and nourishing diet. The palace maids took turns massaging her to promote blood circulation and aid her recovery.
Although Liu Yunrou had just given birth to two children and was overwhelmed with maternal love, she knew her body was the most important asset in raising them, so she didn't dare to be careless. With the help of her maids, she would occasionally hold her children gently, feeling the warmth and joy of family, but she spent most of her time resting.
During these peaceful days, Liu Yunrou would stroll along the paths of the Imperial Garden, accompanied by her maids, breathing in the fresh air and allowing her body and mind to fully relax. Her cultivation was not only for her own health, but also to better accompany her children's growth and contribute to the future of the country and the royal family.
As time went by, Liu Yunrou's body gradually regained its former vitality, and her complexion gradually became rosy. The tenacity and maternal love she displayed during her recuperation won the admiration of everyone in the palace, and the prestige of the empress dowager was further deepened.
In the quiet of her palace, Empress Dowager Liu Yunrou lay in bed, gazing at the mottled shadows of the trees outside the window, a complex mix of emotions welling up in her heart. She had just gone through the hardships of childbirth, and her physical fatigue left her feeling somewhat emotional. However, whenever she saw the sleeping baby beside her, her heart was filled with contentment and warmth.
Liu Yunrou knew full well that as Empress Dowager, she was not only responsible for national affairs but also for the continuation of the imperial bloodline. Although childbirth left her feeling weak, her heart was filled with pride and joy. She knew that these two children were not just her flesh and blood, but also the future of the nation. This responsibility kept her from slacking off even during her recuperation.
During her quiet time of recuperation, Liu Yunrou's inner world was remarkably rich. She would sometimes lose herself in thought, pondering her identity and role, how to balance her role as a mother to the nation with her care and education for her children. Her heart was filled with boundless anticipation for the new life, yet also with a subtle anxiety about the uncertain future.
In the dead of night, when the children were asleep, Liu Yunrou would sit alone by the window, gazing at the starry sky, her heart filled with blessings for her children and wishes for the prosperity of the nation. She knew that her self-cultivation was not only for her own health, but also to enable her to return to government affairs in better condition and set a strong and wise example for her children.
During her recuperation, Liu Yunrou gained a profound understanding of the fragility and preciousness of life. She cherished every moment with her children, and every smile and hug felt incredibly precious. Her heart gradually grew softer and more resilient, and she resolved to face future challenges with a more mature mindset, both at the family and national levels.
During Empress Dowager Liu Yunrou's convalescence, the Emperor and her son often visited her in person, their interactions filled with warmth and respect. Whenever the Emperor entered the Empress Dowager's chambers, he would tread lightly, fearing to disturb the peace of his mother and younger siblings.
"Mother, how are you feeling today?" the emperor asked softly, his eyes full of concern. He would sit by the empress dowager's bedside, listening attentively to the imperial physician's report, nodding his head in approval.
Liu Yunrou smiled and gently responded, "Don't worry, my son. Mother is much better now. Seeing you so mature and steady, Mother is very comforted."
After hearing this, the emperor's eyes flashed with relief, but he still worriedly warned: "Mother, although state affairs are important, your health is more important. I have made arrangements, you just need to rest assured and recuperate."
During the Empress Dowager's recuperation, the Emperor would bring her interesting stories from outside the palace or good news from the court to ease her mood. He knew that although his mother was in the palace, her heart was always with the empire, and these news would help her not worry too much about state affairs.
Once, the Emperor brought the Empress Dowager a bouquet of fresh plum blossoms, a favorite of his. He knew his mother deeply admired the plum blossom's purity and endurance. Liu Yunrou accepted the bouquet, sniffed its fragrance, and a look of delight crossed her eyes. "Your Majesty, how thoughtful! The fragrance of these plum blossoms is so refreshing and delightful."
The emperor also participated in the children's upbringing. When the empress dowager was resting, he would gently hold the baby, whispering to sleep, or discuss the children's future education with the empress dowager. Seeing the emperor's attentiveness, the empress dowager Liu Yunrou felt extremely relieved. She knew that her son was not only a wise ruler, but also a loving brother.
During this period of mutual support, the relationship between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor deepened. As they shared the responsibilities of family and state, they discovered a new understanding and rapport between mother and son. The Empress Dowager's recovery not only restored her health but also further deepened the bonds of kinship within the imperial family.
Deep within the palace, Empress Dowager Liu Yunrou and Retired Emperor Ye Chenxuan always enjoyed exceptional harmony. After retiring, Retired Emperor Ye Chenxuan devoted more of his energy to calligraphy, painting, and Buddhism, achieving a more peaceful state of mind and a more indifferent attitude towards worldly affairs. Empress Dowager Liu Yunrou, with her gentleness and virtuous devotion, became an indispensable companion in Ye Chenxuan's later years.
The next day, sunlight filtered through the sparse shadows of the blossoms in the Imperial Garden, spilling into the quiet study. Retired Emperor Ye Chenxuan sat at his desk, brush in hand, intently painting. Empress Dowager Liu Yunrou quietly entered the study, a tray of freshly brewed tea in hand. Her steps were light, fearful of disturbing the Emperor's creative work.
"Chenxuan, take a break and taste this freshly brewed tea." Empress Dowager Liu Yunrou's voice was soft and full of care.
Ye Chenxuan put down his pen and looked up at Liu Yunrou, his eyes filled with gentleness and gratitude: "Yunrou, it is my blessing to have you by my side."
The Empress Dowager set the tea tray aside, poured a cup of tea for the Emperor, and handed it to him. The two sat opposite each other, sipping tea and chatting. The Emperor took a sip of the tea and nodded approvingly, "This tea is fresh and sweet, just like your temperament."
Empress Dowager Liu Yunrou smiled slightly, her eyes revealing her respect and love for the Emperor: "Chenxuan, you are always so generous, which makes me feel extremely at ease."
The two talked about the past, recalling the years they had shared, sometimes smiling knowingly, sometimes filled with emotion. Although Emperor Retired Ye Chenxuan had abdicated, his wisdom and experience still deeply influenced the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager's gentleness and understanding also brought great comfort to the Emperor Retired.
During such afternoons, the interaction between Empress Dowager Liu Yunrou and Emperor Retired Ye Chenxuan was full of respect and understanding. Their relationship went beyond that of husband and wife and was more like soul mates. Together in the deep palace, they wrote their own tranquility and harmony.
The inner world of Retired Emperor Ye Chenxuan is like a hidden landscape painting, tranquil and profound. After abdicating, he withdrew from the turmoil of power and immersed himself in a broader spiritual world.
Deep within Ye Chenxuan's heart, he harbored deep memories of the past. He was once the ruler of a nation, shouldering the weight of the fate of the nation. Every decree, every decision, carried the fate of countless people. Now, though he had laid down these burdens, his heart was not completely free. In the stillness of the night, he would often find himself alone, looking out the window at the bright moon, contemplating his life's gains and losses.
A transcendent tranquility filled his heart. Influenced by Buddhism, Ye Chenxuan gradually learned to let go of his attachments. He no longer pursued power and glory, but instead sought peace and freedom of mind. He began to appreciate the simple beauty of life: a flower, a blade of grass, a tea, a fragrance, all of which allowed him to sense the true meaning of life.
Yet, beneath this tranquility, a sense of loneliness lurked. His status as the retired emperor isolated him from the world, preventing him from freely roaming the streets and experiencing the mundane world like ordinary people. This loneliness, far from bitter, instead became a crucial moment for him to reflect on life and understand the universe.
Ye Chenxuan's heart was still filled with wisdom. He had seen the world and possessed a profound understanding of the world. He knew that even though he had abdicated, the future of his country remained a concern. He hoped that his wisdom and experience would be a valuable legacy for future generations, helping the country to achieve greater prosperity.
Ye Chenxuan's heart was filled with gratitude and cherishment for Empress Dowager Liu Yunrou. He knew how rare it was to have such a close companion in the palace. Liu Yunrou's gentleness and understanding were the warmest light in his later years, and he was willing to spend the rest of his life nurturing this relationship and sharing it through all the ups and downs.
In general, the inner world of Emperor Retired Ye Chenxuan is complex and rich, filled with memories and reflections of the past, cherishing the present, and looking forward to the future. His heart is like a deep spring, calm on the surface, yet filled with endless wisdom and emotion.
Ye Chenxuan decided to write a book to share his life's learning, hoping to pass it on to future generations. He often invited the Queen Mother to discuss his teachings, and the two of them enjoyed mutually enlightening conversations. Under Ye Chenxuan's influence, the Queen Mother also developed a strong interest in Buddhism. The two of them studied Buddhist principles together, and their minds became increasingly enlightened.
Ye Chenxuan also cared deeply about the suffering of the people, secretly supporting impoverished students and spreading his generosity. The people revered the retired emperor and viewed him as a model of benevolence. Word of Ye Chenxuan's good deeds spread throughout the land, and people emulated his example, dramatically transforming social trends. Though Ye Chenxuan resided in the palace, his wisdom and kindness spread like a spring breeze across the land.
Ye Chenxuan and Liu Yunrou's bond grew stronger, like a couple in heaven. Together, they strolled through the palace gardens, admiring the changing beauty of the seasons; they savored exquisite pastries and shared the little joys of life. Ye Chenxuan would play the guqin for Liu Yunrou, and Liu Yunrou would dance for him. Their life was filled with poetry and romance.
Ye Chenxuan's book writing was also progressing smoothly. He incorporated his medical knowledge and philosophy of statecraft into the book, and when it was completed, it would surely become a masterpiece. Under Ye Chenxuan's guidance, the Empress Dowager's understanding of Buddhism deepened, and her state of mind became more peaceful.
