Several years passed in a flash, and Ze'er Yu'er was already eight years old. During this period, she gave birth to two more children for Xuanyuan Che.
The Queen Mother worshipped Buddha sincerely, saying that she was praying for blessings for her grandchildren. She accompanied Ze'er and Yu'er until they were three years old, and then she reluctantly went to the temple to pray for blessings. She passed away until Ze'er and Yu'er were seven years old.
Tang Wan was not very sad, but Ze'er was quite sad. He remembered the Royal Grandmother who gave him many delicious cakes. He liked the Royal Grandmother and did not want her to leave.
But he was just a child after all, and he had a bad memory. After a few days, he couldn't remember it clearly. Tang Wan breathed a sigh of relief. She was very worried that Ze'er was immersed in sadness and couldn't get out of it.
Her other two children are both boys, one named Xuanyuan Jun and the other named Xuanyuan Liang.
They were all good and obedient children, but there was one strange thing. Since she gave birth to Ze'er Yu'er, Xiaobai had not appeared again. However, she could still borrow things in the system at will, as long as she paid them back with points after going out, so she didn't take it too seriously.
The days passed one by one, and the once small glutinous rice ball had grown into a young boy as tall as a green bamboo, looking like a crown prince.
Tang Wan was a little worried that Xuanyuan Che would be wary. After all, since ancient times, no monarch would not worry about growing old and having his son replace him.
However, she was obviously worrying too much. When Ze'er was 20 years old, Xuanyuan Che abdicated and took Tang Wan out to travel.
Tang Wan asked him, "Ah Che, why are you abdicating so soon? Ze'er has just come of age, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to ascend the throne."
Xuanyuan Che held her hand and looked at her affectionately. He didn't know when fine lines had appeared at the corners of his eyes, and his health was not as good as before. "I just feel that I owe you a lot in the past. I know that you are actually a person who loves freedom."
"Being imprisoned in the harem isn't exactly pleasant, is it? Now that Ze'er has grown up, I can safely hand over the kingdom to him and make it up to you."
Tang Wan was already nearly forty years old, but she was still stunningly beautiful. She gently kissed Xuanyuan Che's lips and said, "Okay."
Ze'er: Doesn't anyone care about my life or death?
…………
The two of them traveled along the way, visited many beautiful places, saw the sunrise in the early morning, rode wild horses on the grassland, saw the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, and also saw the white snow.
She is free and happy, always with a smile on her face, as if she has returned to her carefree girlhood.
There is no need to talk about any hierarchy between them, because they are just the most ordinary couple in the world.
Ten years passed in a flash. When they returned to the palace, Ze'er had reached the same age as Xuanyuan Che when he met Tang Wan. He was like his father, decisive in killing, but he did not have the problems that troubled his father. He was a good monarch and everyone praised him for that.
He also has his own children and becomes a father.
The reason they came back this time was because of Xuanyuan Che. He was almost dying. When he was young, he injured his bones, and he had been suffering from major and minor illnesses since a few years ago.
He knew he probably wouldn't make it this time, so before he left, he wanted to see his children again.
In front of the bed, Tang Wan held his hand, her eyes red. Ze'er couldn't help but turn her face away, and Yu'er also choked with sobs. Her father was so powerful and his back was so kind, why was he leaving them now?
Jun'er and Liang'er's eyes also turned red. They turned their backs and covered their faces and cried.
Xuanyuan Che looked at them, each of them had a good home, and warned Yu'er's husband: "Prince consort, you must be good to my only princess, otherwise, Ze'er... yes, will not let you off easily."
The son-in-law was a talented general he had personally promoted. Upon hearing this, he couldn't stop crying: "Yes, I obey your command. I will definitely treat the princess well and will not let her suffer any injustice."
He talked a lot. Although he was a kind father in front of his children, he didn't talk much. But this time, he said everything he could think of, for fear of missing a single word.
He knew that if he didn't say something, he would never have the chance to say it again.
Everyone secretly wiped away their tears. His children's children, the younger ones, rushed up to hug him and said, "Grandfather, wuwuwuwu, no, don't go, wuwuwuwu."
"Good boy, good boy." He reached out and touched his head: "From now on, you must listen to your mother's words carefully, do you understand?"
"Wuwuwuwu, Qingqing knows, Royal Grandfather, can you please not leave?"
A beautiful woman with hair combed in a woman's style carried him away with tears in her eyes, but the child kept crying and his face turned red, obviously he was reluctant to leave.
The royal grandfather was the best. He would take him to ride a big horse. He was no longer a child who knew nothing. He knew that the royal grandfather would never come back after he left this time.
Xuanyuan Che held Tang Wan's hand and said, "Wan Wan, the person I owe the most in my life is you."
Tang Wan shook her head. She was crying, and her tears dripped onto his body. Xuanyuan Che wanted to raise his hand to wipe her tears, but found that he no longer had the strength to do so. His face was pale. "Be good, don't cry."
Tang Wan stopped crying, and Xuanyuan Che pulled the corner of his lips: "Ahem, ahem, my Wanwan, you are still so obedient, but I don't want you to be so obedient. I'm afraid that after I leave, you will be bullied."
"In my lifetime, I never made you the queen. Do you blame me?"
Tang Wan shook her head desperately, her chest aching as if it were being pricked by needles.
Xuanyuan Che smiled, a particularly happy smile, as if he had returned to his youth: "Ahem, ahem... That's good. I thought you would blame me, but I know that my Wanwan is so kind and wouldn't be willing to blame me."
"Xuanyuan Che, I tell you, you are not allowed to leave me." Tang Wan threatened him fiercely, but the fragility in her eyes could not be hidden. She was afraid. Habit is a very scary thing.
Over the years, she has regarded Xuanyuan Che as her true lover and she cannot live without him.
"They say the emperor and empress are one and the same, but I've committed too many sins and my hands are stained with too much blood. I'll go to hell after I die, and I don't want you to have to endure this. After I die, I'll have Ze'er make you empress dowager, so you can live a good life."
After he finished speaking, his eyes gradually lost their luster and he slowly closed his eyes.
When he lost consciousness, he heard the woman he had loved for half his life say softly and firmly: "Xuanyuan Che, I have lived this life for you. If you die, I will never live alone."
She hugged Xuanyuan Che and her consciousness slowly faded. She heard that when a person dies, the last thing to disappear is hearing, so she hoped Xuanyuan Che could hear it.
She heard more sad cries, especially from Ze'er's queen, who cried heart-wrenchingly. Her Yu'er even fainted from crying.
She felt heartbroken, but a short pain is worse than a long one. This feeling was too painful and she couldn't accept it. I'm sorry, my child, please forgive your mother's selfishness this time. In the next life, you will be reborn as my child.
In the 36th year of the Qingli period of the Da Zhao Dynasty, the late emperor's imperial concubine passed away. The new emperor was heartbroken and posthumously conferred the title of Empress Xiaode on the late imperial concubine.
