Back in the capital, Ji Yingying reported the matter and was scolded by the Jiajing Emperor. Ji Yingying let it go, since not many people would care about her anymore.
"Alright, take these few snow lotuses. You can use them whenever you need them."
The Jiajing Emperor was skilled in both poison and medicine, so no one could poison him in this area.
"Aren't you going to prepare anything for your parents and your uncle and aunt?"
"Everyone has them. Your father and mother have them too. I've been playing on the iceberg for so long. Everyone has these things."
"Thank you very much, Master."
"You're too kind. I'm going to see your father now."
"good."
When Ji Yingying saw the Emperor Emeritus, she felt that his health had improved a lot.
As soon as she entered the palace, Ji Yingying couldn't help but say, "I feel that you look a bit like Prince Qi now that you've aged."
“That’s my imperial grand-uncle, don’t you think!”
“That’s true, we’re all family, but you look more like your father.” Ji Yingying handed him a gift.
The retired emperor didn't even look at it, and said, "You're all so old now, you should do less of these things in the future. I heard your elder brother wants to retire."
"Yes, I went home yesterday. My two older brothers both want to retire. They're quite old, and they told me not to run around anymore."
"Yes, be obedient and stay at home. Let the children take care of you."
"Why do I feel like I said that to your father before?"
The Emperor Emeritus: ...This child just doesn't know how to speak properly. It's a pity, no one can control her now.
“I don’t have any ideas either. You tell me, where in our Tianyou Dynasty haven’t I been? I’ve been to all the mountainous places. Besides Tianyou Dynasty, I’ve been to other places too. Look at those people from Persia now, foreigners don’t dare to invade.”
"If our emperor keeps working hard, who knows, we might even have an even more peaceful and prosperous era."
"You're right, it's all thanks to you!"
Ji Yingying has truly served three generations of emperors and is a veteran of three reigns. Now, who dares not respect her?
"Okay, you should have a good rest too. I'm going back and will see you tomorrow."
"good!"
When Ji Yingying returned to the Prince of Jin's residence, the entire Ji family was there, all coming to celebrate the New Year with her.
"Are you planning to spend the New Year with me this year?"
"So what? You said you wouldn't spend the New Year at home, so we had no choice but to come over."
"Brother, you still love me so much."
Ji Jiayu, who was standing to the side, was displeased and quickly said, "I don't love you anymore?"
"Yes, my second brother loves me too."
"Alright, you three, sit down and wait for the children's instructions."
"Alright, big brother, second brother, let's drink tonight, let's drink to our hearts' content."
"no problem."
They said they were supposed to drink to their hearts' content, but everyone was kept under tight surveillance and not allowed to drink.
This year, the children set off the fireworks, while Ji Yingying sat in the main seat to watch.
The three siblings also recalled the scene of setting off fireworks, and Ji Yingying directly took out the photos.
This was taken at the beginning. She took a lot of photos and developed a lot of them.
"Great-aunt, is this you when you were little?" asked the eldest brother's great-grandson.
"Yes, this is me, this is your great-great-grandfather, this is your great-great-grandfather, and these are my parents!"
"I haven't seen my parents for a long time. This photo is great." Ji Jiaming took the photo away.
Ignoring her, Ji Yingying continued, "Back then, I was kidnapped to the capital by the retired emperor when I was ten years old. At that time, the late emperor, who was the retired emperor's father, insisted on giving me an official position, and I started from the fifth rank."
"You know what? I was the little tyrant of Beijing back then!"
[Hehe, everything the little tyrant of Beijing does is beneficial to the people.]
"Mind your own business. Now that you're old, it's nice to reminisce with your kids."
Not very good.
"My great-aunt is amazing!"
"Let me tell you, when I went to banquets back then, not many people were happy. I didn't know why. Later I found out that they were afraid of me. But I'm not a paper tiger, what are they afraid of me for? Later I found out that anyone I felt was wrong was dead."
"You guys, if you don't have that kind of luck in the future, don't cause trouble!"
"We understand."
"Little sister, can we have one of these?" Seeing her two older brothers with slightly red eyes, Ji Yingying actually gave each of them one.
I miss my parents!
After the New Year, Ji Yingying went to the palace every day, rain or shine, just to see the Emperor Emeritus and the Empress Dowager.
The Mid-Autumn Festival has just passed, and the bells are ringing again. How many times has this happened?
This is the third time. The first time was the late emperor, the second time was the late empress dowager, and who is it now?
Xiangxiang transformed into human form and said, "This time it's the Emperor Emeritus!"
"Waaah..." Ji Yingying's eyes reddened. The Emperor Emeritus was also a kind person to her.
I clearly know that she doesn't have much time left, but...
Before she even left the house, another bell rang, the fourth one yet. This time, Xiangxiang didn't need to tell her what it meant; she already knew.
"Did the Empress Dowager go with her?"
"Yes, this couple was loving when they were young, and now they've found their perfect match."
After entering the palace, Ji Yingying helped with the funeral arrangements. Only after the funeral ended did Ji Yingying realize that the people she knew were completely gone.
Now they are the only ones left.
But it won't be long before that happens.
After the Emperor Emeritus and Empress Dowager passed away, Ji Yingying stopped going to the palace and spent her days at home either fishing or playing chess.
My two older brothers are also getting old, and the family is harmonious.
She had nothing to be relieved about.
"How about we go out for a walk?"
"Alright, let's go on a trip." In the new year, Ji Yingying left a letter and two photos of herself for Ji Jiaming and Ji Jiayu before embarking on her travels.
"These are elderly people in their seventies and eighties, are we crazy?!"
"It is indeed quite crazy, but it's okay. It's just a return to familiar places, so it's not a big deal."
When Emperor Jiajing heard that she had run away, he was furious. He didn't even consider how old he was, and he was acting so irrationally.
Fortunately, news kept coming back, and news kept coming in from the capital.
That day, Ji Yingying received news that Rong Er, who had followed her in battle for many years, had passed away.
Upon receiving the news, Ji Yingying almost fainted from crying. If Mu Kaiji was good, Rong Er was even better. He was not only her bodyguard but also her good friend. Most importantly, no one could be as loyal to her as he was.
"Why don't you go back and take a look?"
"Forget it, let's go back and apologize later. Rong Er won't be angry."
“That works too. We can go back this way. It shouldn’t take too long,” Mu Kaiji said, pointing to the map.
Although it wouldn't take long, they were in a horse-drawn carriage, and it took them almost a year to return to the capital while enjoying the scenery along the way.
As soon as she arrived in Beijing, the Jiajing Emperor learned of her situation. In order to avoid causing any trouble for Ji Yingying, he went out of the palace to visit her.
Before she left, Ji Yingying didn't have any gray hair, but in the two years since she left, she has had more and more gray hair.
