Li Zhao passed away in the spring of the following year. Before he died, he said that he would wait until the flowers were in full bloom and then take Jiang Yi for a walk outside, but this wish was ultimately unfulfilled.
He kept saying to Jiang Yi, "You are still so young. When I am gone, you must live well and watch Huai Jin and the others grow up, get married and have children on my behalf."
He also said: "If they disobey and bully you, tell me, and I will not let them go even in the underworld."
Before he died, he was still worried about Jiang Yi, so after making Jiang Yi the regent queen dowager, he also gave Jiang Yi a secret decree.
If the new emperor is unfilial and unbrotherly, Jiang Yi can depose the new emperor and establish another one.
Anyway, they have five sons, so it’s enough for them to take turns.
But Li Zhao never expected that his sons were not unfilial, but too filial. Only three years after his death, Li Huaijin found a lover for Jiang Yi who looked like him.
Li Huaijin comforted Jiang Yi, saying, "Mother, it has been three years since my father passed away. Yesterday, I saw you looking at my father's portrait with a sad face. It made me feel bad."
"Mother, when life is good, you should enjoy it to the fullest. Look at this. It looks seven points like your father. It should comfort your heart that you miss him."
Jiang Yi looked up at the man. Just as Huai Jin said, the man looked 70% like Li Zhao.
For a moment, Jiang Yi even thought he saw an old friend.
The man gave Jiang Yi a flattering smile and said, "I am willing to serve the Queen Mother."
Jiang Yi shook her head and said, "You are not him, go down."
Li Huaijin did not give up and found a few more handsome young men. "Mother, there must be one you like, right?"
Jiang Yi laughed, "The person I like is in my heart."
"There is no one else in this world who treats me as well as he does. This is unique and irreplaceable."
"You will understand later on, if you truly love someone, even if that person dies, he or she will still be alive, and there will never be room for another person in your heart."
Jiang Yi added, "Of course, Mother also hopes that you will never know."
Li Huaijin didn't quite understand at that time, until he fell asleep that night, his father who had passed away three years ago suddenly appeared in his dream.
His father didn't say anything to him, but just hit him with a mace. Li Huaijin was beaten so hard that it hurt. He had never experienced this feeling before, because although his father was strict, he never hit him.
He was chased by his father for the entire night and felt quite tired the next day.
The next night, his father played the game of chase with him again, and Li Huaijin was about to collapse.
On the third night, he begged his father for mercy, "Father, I will never bring a pretty boy to my mother again. Please forgive me!"
Only then did his father calm down.
He muttered unconsciously, "Father is too stingy."
His father's dead face reappeared.
He was so frightened that he was shaking all the time. Later, not only did he not dare to introduce any pretty boys to his mother, but if he saw anyone hanging around his mother, he would put that person in a sack and beat him.
What a joke! What if his father doesn't know the truth and thinks he is the one who brought the child? Wouldn't he be in trouble then?
Jiang Yi knew nothing about this, but after this incident, Li Huaijin worked harder in his studies and paid more attention to state affairs.
He worked diligently day and night, as if a wolf was chasing him.
Jiang Yidu felt that Li Huaijin worked too hard.
When Li Huaijin was eighteen years old, he fell in love with the daughter of the Minister of Rites. Jiang Yi arranged for Li Huaijin to marry the girl to be his queen.
Li Huaijin has a rather lively personality, while the queen is a quiet one. When Li Huaijin is in front of the queen, he becomes very obedient, fearing that he will make the queen angry.
The nanny beside Jiang Yi said, "Your Majesty and the Queen are destined to be together."
Xiao Yu'er is different from her brother. The eldest princess of the dynasty has been pampered since childhood. There are many young men in the imperial city who admire her, but Xiao Yu'er doesn't like any of them.
She started traveling when she was fifteen years old and liked to do justice. Every month or so, she would write a letter to Jiang Yi, telling him about her recent experiences and feelings.
Jiang Yi never thought of restraining her.
In Jiang Yi's eyes, her eldest daughter is like another self, and she is very happy that her eldest daughter can always be free and do what she wants.
Jiang Yi watched her children get married and have children. Whenever this happened, she would go to Li Zhao's mausoleum and talk with him. Sometimes they would get tired of talking, and a whole day and night would pass.
When Jiang Yi was fifty-one years old, Xiao Yu'er also got married. The other party was the son of the dean of an academy. He was a man of great integrity and had known Huaiyu before, but they had never fallen in love, so the relationship had been delayed until this time.
Jiang Yi happily told Li Zhao the news, and never returned.
She fell into a deep sleep and did not feel any pain before her death, as if she had died in a dream for ten years.
Jiang Yi vaguely saw Li Zhao in her dream. He waved at her, and she ran towards him, but she missed him.
A light suddenly appeared in front of him, and Jiang Yi was so dazzled that he couldn't open his eyes.
"Congratulations to the host, you have successfully cleared the fifth world and achieved the mission goal of giving birth to an heir for the extinct emperor. The reward is eight million in cash and three thousand points."
"The host has completed the mission well this time, but we still need to keep working hard and strive to give birth to twenty or thirty children in the next world!"
Memories gradually returned. Jiang Yi listened to the system's high-spirited voice and was suddenly speechless. "Twenty or thirty, if you are so capable, why don't you just give birth to your own children?"
