Comprehensive film and television: The favorite concubine is in power

Chapter 228 Yixiu's Retirement Life

Nian Shilan asked the people around him, "What happened to this concubine?"

Songzhi shook her head slightly: "I don't know much either. People in the palace kept silent about that concubine. I only know that it was His Majesty who personally ordered the two to divorce, and now it is the Empress Dowager."

"No matter what she does, it won't affect my business. Although I can't win that position with my longevity, I still have to get the position of the crown prince."

Rouze is no longer a threat. The most important thing now is Li Jingyan's child. The prince promoted her to the position of concubine in recognition of her contribution to childbearing. Now she wants to be on an equal footing with me. What kind of dream is this?

As for Fujin?

When Rouze heard about Honghui's ascension to the throne, she went crazy. Why would she bother with a madman?

Yinzhen could not tell anyone that his wife had gone crazy. He could only say that she was bedridden and closed the door of the main courtyard on the pretext of illness.

Nowadays, Nian Shilan is the one who follows the lead in the backyard. Except for Qi Yuebin, the others either try to curry favor with him or stay away from him, living a simple and austere life.

Rouze cried all day in the main courtyard. Yixiu now sits in the most honorable position. Now everyone in the family blames themselves for what they did in the past.

But weren't they the ones who supported this matter in the beginning? Now that Yixiu has become successful, they blame her. How ridiculous!

She believed that she was much better than Yixiu, and Yinzhen's proposal of marriage was the answer.

But now, Yixiu has become the Empress Dowager, and she has no children, and her husband has fallen in love with someone else.

Is there anyone who lives a more miserable life than her?

Probably not.

Ever since Honghui ascended the throne, Yinzhen had become somewhat of a broken man. He didn't pay much attention to many things in the mansion, and spent the whole day deceiving himself by only paying attention to Shilan.

Nian Shilan wanted to win the position of crown prince for her son, so she coaxed Yinzhen all day long. As Yinzhen grew older, Nian Shilan coaxed him and accompanied him in doing all kinds of ridiculous things.

In the end, Yinzhen suddenly fell ill. Nian Shilan was at a loss and took care of Yinzhen wholeheartedly, hoping that he would get better.

All kinds of tonic foods were stewed for him to drink, but he was too weak to absorb the tonic and vomited blood. He had to stay bedridden for the rest of his life.

After all, he was his father with blood relationship, so Honghui still went to the palace to take a look at him. When he saw Nian Shilan, a hint of mockery flashed in Honghui's eyes.

Then he left with his people without saying a word. On the next day, Honghui appointed Hongli as the crown prince. Considering the father-son relationship between him and Yinzhen, he would give Hongli the title of prince the next time he inherited the title.

Yixiu had seen what happened in the palace and put it behind her. After Kangxi left, Yixiu was really not used to it at first.

The old man kept muttering all day long, and his mouth was never idle.

After moving to Shoukang Palace, Yixiu felt that the palace was deserted, so she asked Song Qiuyun to live with her.

Now Song Qiuyun has married her leader. Although the man doesn't say it, he still feels sorry for her in his heart. Yixiu adopts Song Qiuyun as her sister, and she changes her name to Yi Qiu and marries the leader.

The two of them were very much in love and gave birth to a boy last year. After that, they decided not to have more children.

"I thought that one child was enough. I wouldn't have enough time to take care of more."

"As long as you two have no objection."

Yixiu was holding a black and white kitten, which Qiongyu had brought from somewhere before she left.

Its eyes look very much like Qiong Yu's, and even its habits are similar to Qiong Yu's. Yixiu wondered when it must have found another cat in the palace to give birth to cubs without her knowing.

This kitten is very smart, so Yixiu kept it.

I'm several years old now.

Song Qiuyun looked at the cat and said with a smile, "It really looks like Qiong Yu, except for the different fur color."

"Yes."

Song Qiuyun would go to the palace to accompany her whenever she was free. With Yixiu's inadvertent reminder, Honghui noticed those foreign things and actively trained the navy to build ships and go abroad.

Not only did they get a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, but also more weapons.

After some thought, Honghui directly drove away the Japanese pirates in Fujian and opened a trading port.

The economy has developed extremely rapidly in the past two years, and banks have been gradually built up, but they were backed by the Qing Dynasty. During these years, Honghui got the recipe for cement and directly repaired the road from top to bottom.

The treasury is empty, so let’s trade abroad!

As the country continued to improve, although it did not reach an extremely developed level, it gradually built large ships and cannons, and the wave of the Industrial Revolution did not fall, which directly shortened the country's development process from hundreds of years to decades.

Yixiu was also happy over the years and trained some girls, who gradually joined in. Later, with Honghui's promotion, the first female official finally appeared in the court.

Honghui never gets tired of this. His mother is right. As long as they can help him, no matter whether they are men or women, as long as they can do things, they are his good subjects!

When she got old, Yixiu could only walk with the help of a cane, and Honghui, who was in his fifties, helped her walk slowly in the garden of Yongshou Palace.

"My Queen Mother, I hope my son has not disappointed you."

Honghui smiled, now he is also an old man, Yixiu smiled, "Yes, you did a good job, mother is very proud of you."

"Mother, you know that my Honghui is the most wise monarch in the world."

But the feudal system would not last forever. Would it be possible to change peacefully in the future? Yixiu didn't know. She couldn't wait for that day.

Forty-two years after Honghui came to power, Yixiu gradually became physically exhausted. Before leaving, she talked with Honghui for the entire night.

As dawn approached, Yixiu said to Honghui, "Mother is gone. Honghui, be good and don't be extravagant for her. Your children are all filial. You must remember your grandfather's teachings and take good care of them."

When people get old, the thing they can't bear to give up the most is their children. Yixiu touched Honghui's head with nostalgia in her eyes, "Mother only has you as her child, and you are the one she is most worried about."

"Remember, we must not isolate the country from the outside world, and we must put the people first. Mother has enjoyed happiness for most of her life, which is enough."

Honghui nodded with tears in his eyes, "Don't worry, mother. My son is not well. I still worry about you even though he is so old."

After Kangxi passed away, Yixiu spent her days looking after her grandson, raising cats and playing with dogs, or strolling around the Imperial Garden or going out with Honghui to escape the summer heat.

The days were wonderful, and now that I am leaving, I have no regrets.

The morning light revealed the first hint of color through the clouds, and Yixiu left with a smile.

She had a hard life in the first half of her life, but later she had a filial son and a... rebellious and willful old man.

I never suffered any injustice again after that.

Don’t be sad for me. Whenever the breeze blows on your face, think of it as me returning to the world to see you.
