Secrets of Yuqing Palace

After the two confessed their crimes, Wanyu told Yinreng everything about her later life.

It not only covers the relevant history of the Qing Dynasty, but also the technological development of later generations, as well as the political, social, and living environment.

He even told Yinreng about his childhood experiences and why he died young and suddenly traveled to the Qing Dynasty.

From then on, the two of them truly and completely devoted themselves to each other.

They no longer had anything to hide from each other.

Even now they are old men and women in their sixties.

But time did not wear away their feelings for each other, but made them even stronger.

In addition, the two of them open their hearts to each other, making this relationship even more pure, as if they are soul mates.

After understanding everything, they are also discussing how to use the current advantages to change the historical development in the next hundred years.

Especially Wanyu's test of Hongli.

If they have tried this, how will they influence Hongli?

If the test fails, how will it affect the current emperor?

In particular, the emperor's common problem of suspicion became more and more obvious in his later years. Both of them had a deep understanding of this, especially Yinreng who felt it the most.

But the problem is that Hongli in history had a reign time comparable to that of Kangxi, and even after he abdicated and became the emperor emeritus, he still controlled the government.

Wanyu believed that she did not have the political acumen to deal with the emperor, so after completely confessing to Yinreng, she handed the matter over to Yinreng.

Unexpectedly, before the two of them had finished their discussion, they received news from the capital.

The emperor is about to go to the south of the Yangtze River.

"I'm going to see my son!"

This was the first reaction of the two people.

The second reaction was to think about the future as soon as possible, before the emperor arrived in Jiangnan.

About two months passed.

The scenery in Jiangnan in September is charming.

Even though the weather is getting cooler, it is still warm and pleasant.

In autumn, the leaves begin to turn yellow and red, and the forest is full of colorful colors, which is beautiful beyond words.

The reed flowers dancing in the wind add a touch of poetry to the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River.

This day happens to be the Double Ninth Festival in September, a good day for celebration in various places.

Various traditional folk activities followed one after another.

Climbing, drying autumn crops, temple fairs, appreciating chrysanthemums, eating Chongyang cakes, etc. are rich, colorful and lively.

Wanyu and Yinreng are no longer young and can no longer go out to join in the fun and have fun with the people like they did when they were young.

But Wanyu also thought it was quite interesting. Since it was inconvenient for her to go out and join in the fun, it would be the same to celebrate the festival with Yinreng at home.

So he asked the servants to buy a lot of chrysanthemums of various varieties in advance, and asked the kitchen staff to make various styles of Double Ninth Festival cakes.

That afternoon, she and Yinreng were sitting around the fire in the yard, drinking wine.

When appreciating chrysanthemums, drinking some chrysanthemum wine is not only comfortable and relaxing, but also has good meaning.

It can ward off evil spirits, avoid disasters and prolong life.

Then I would occasionally taste a few pieces of Chongyang cakes of different styles, which was very comfortable.

Just as the two of them were holding their chrysanthemum wine, looking very contented, there was a knock on the door.

When the servant went to open the door, he saw several people with extraordinary temperament standing outside the courtyard gate.

Especially the two in the lead, middle-aged men around 30 years old.

One of them said, "Is this the Huang residence?"

The servant immediately asked with vigilance, "Exactly. Who are you? What do you want to do?"

The man smiled at the person beside him and said, "Fourth brother, you found the right one."

The person next to him smiled and nodded at him.

The man turned back to look at his servants.

"I am your Master Huang's son. Go tell the master and his wife that their third son and youngest son are back."

The servant touched the back of his head in confusion.

"I've only seen the eldest young master, but I've never heard of the third and fourth young masters."

That man was Honggui. Upon hearing the servant's suspicious voice, he said with a stern face, "Go and tell the master and his wife!"

"It's the master's business, why are you, a servant, asking so many questions?"

Because Hongli was often raised in Yuqing Palace since he was a child, he was also addressed according to the order of seniority of Yuqing Palace.

Since childhood, Honggui called Hongli his fourth brother.

Even if he becomes the emperor now, it is sometimes difficult to change his words.

Especially now that they are outside, they are hiding their identities.

Since he couldn't call him the emperor, he still called Hongli his fourth brother.

When the servant saw Honggui's matter-of-fact expression, his original suspicion disappeared a lot.

He quickly responded, "Then wait a moment, I'll go tell the master and the mistress right away."

Soon the servant ran to where Wanyu and Yinreng were admiring the chrysanthemums and drinking, and said respectfully, "Master, Madam."

"A group of people came to our yard. One of them said he was the Third Young Master, and there was also the Fourth Young Master beside him."

When Wanyu heard the third and fourth young masters, she quickly looked at Yinreng.

"Is it Honggui and Hong... the youngest one?"

Yinreng asked the servant, "Are they at the gate of the courtyard?"

The servant replied, "Yes, sir."

Wanyu quickly stood up and trotted towards the gate of the courtyard, speaking anxiously.

"Baocheng, it's Honggui and Yuanshou who are here."

"Let's go, let's go pick up the two kids."

Seeing her anxious and hurried, Yinreng also stood up and followed her.

Soon, the two of them walked quickly to the gate of the courtyard.

At this time, the gate of the courtyard was open, and there were several people standing at the gate.

The two people leading the group were Hongli and Honggui.

Hongli did not show it on his face and appeared to be exceptionally calm and composed.

But his hands were hanging on both sides, one hand was clenched into a fist, and the other hand was tightly holding a folding fan.

Honggui was curiously looking out, taking in the scenery and layout of the courtyard.

Two faces, one face is 50% to 60% similar to her when she was young, and the other face is 40% to 50% similar to Yinreng.

This was the first time she had seen her two children since she faked her death.

More than twenty years have passed.

Tears started flowing before I could say anything.

His steps became more urgent.

Honggui and Hongli saw their mother, whom they had not seen for many years. Her hair was now gray and her face was full of wrinkles.

At this moment, her face was covered with tears and she was rushing towards them eagerly, feeling both aggrieved and bitter in her heart.

I couldn't help but take a few steps forward.

"Honggui, Yuanshou, I finally get to see you. I'm sorry for you."

Without waiting for the two to speak, Wanyu opened her arms with a smile through her tears.

I want to put my arm around their shoulders and hold them in my arms like I did when they were little.

But the two children have grown up, married and had children, and the imperial edict is about to become Mafa.

They are no longer as short as they were when they were young and can be held in their mother's arms.

When they grew up, they were taller and stronger than their mother.

But their longing for their mother did not make them resist their mother's embrace.

Instead, they took the initiative to reach out and put their arms around their mother's back, letting her feel how much they missed her.

Honggui: "Mother, I miss you so much."

Hongli also called out to his mother like his third brother and told her that he missed her too.

But he knew it wasn't possible!

The third brother doesn’t know his own identity, and even the people behind him don’t know.

So even if he wanted to speak at this moment, he could only try his best to hold it back.

Yinreng missed his two sons so much as he watched them grow up.

However, as a man, he is not as emotionally expressive as Yu'er.

He just asked his servants to arrange the guards following behind to the houses of the nearby families.

Then, after the mother and her two children calmed down a little, she asked them to come into the house and talk.

After all, the two children now have extraordinary status, and some things cannot be heard by others.
