Chapter 71 Ending (full text)
Half a year after Wu Chun left, Xie Sui arranged a marriage for Shen Ying and Xiao Huaiwen, and gave them a mansion in a prosperous area of the imperial capital.
The ceremony was grand and lively. Wu Chun rushed to the imperial capital from her small mountain village hundreds of miles away to attend the wedding and gave her a big red envelope. She sat in a corner, dressed in plain clothes. To people who didn't know her, no one would think that she was the empress of the dynasty.
In the previous life, Shen Ying and Xiao Huaiwen, one died by hitting a pillar and the other died for love. In this life, they finally had a happy ending.
Wu Chun was very pleased. She was able to change their fate in this new life.
Logically, she should have stayed in the restaurant for a few more days, exchanged a few words with Shen Ying, and said goodbye before leaving, but she didn't, and she didn't even tell them that she had been there, and then she left.
Did she go back to the palace to take a look?
Of course she did. Her lover and her daughter were there.
Sometimes she felt regretful and missed Yu'er's growth, but there are too many regrets in a person's life, and there are always choices to be made. She just wants to get what she wants.
Xie Sui had long been accustomed to her doing things. Every time he saw her coming back, he would curl his lips lightly and say in a voice without any sadness or joy, "You're back."
She smiled outside the door, "Yeah, I'm back."

Compared to Shen Ying and Cheng Jingyi, there was another person whose ending was not so good.
Cheng Jingyi was crazy. She
was really crazy.
In her previous life, she tried her best to get rich and marry Shen Heng, but when she died, she realized that the real supreme one was Xie Sui. In this life, she tried her best to please Xie Sui, but Xie Sui only promised to find her a good marriage. It was impossible for her to enter the harem.
Cheng Jingyi was unwilling to marry Jiang Xuanning. This Dali Temple Minister was even worse than Shen Heng in his previous life. Shen Heng was crowned a king after all! Jiang Xuanning wanted power, but he was not bad at all when it came to money. What did she want from him? His character?
Unfortunately, Cheng Jingyi cared least about his character.
Since she was unwilling, Xie Sui didn't say much and drove Cheng Jingyi out of the imperial capital. "I have given you a chance. This marriage is the way to fulfill your promise. Since you are unwilling to marry Jiang Xuanning, I will demote you from the imperial capital. General Cheng has a mansion in Yongzhou, you can go there."
If she was demoted, she could only grit her teeth and feel resentful, but she was not crazy about gains and losses. It was actually Shen Heng who made her crazy.
She never thought that she would meet Shen Heng on the way to Yongzhou.
At that time, he had taken off his gorgeous clothes and worked as a small official in the local area, as an accompanying official to take over and meet Cheng Jingyi.
Shen Heng was also very surprised, but he didn't say much. He took good care of Cheng Jingyi along the way. Maybe it was because of his upbringing, or maybe he was born to feel that she was somewhat familiar, so he even asked her about trivial matters such as thirst and tiredness.
To put it bluntly: he looked like a servant, and no one could tell that he was once the noble King Ze'an.
Cheng Jingyi couldn't accept that after going around in circles, she still met Shen Heng. And in these two lives, apart from her relatives, the only person who was really good to her was Shen Heng.
Whether it was out of regret, sighing, or grief, she became a madwoman that no one dared to provoke.
Later, General Cheng returned to Yongzhou and looked for famous doctors, but none of them could cure Cheng Jingyi. However
, General Cheng did not give up, and the notice of seeking medical treatment with a large sum of money was never withdrawn. It was not until this time that people realized that the second daughter of the Cheng family had never been despised or hated.
The second daughter of Cheng was also very much loved by General Cheng.
Unfortunately, she herself did not know it.

In the next ten years, Wuchun traveled through all the scenic spots and rivers in Daning, sailed on the Qingjiang River, crossed the wild ferry under the moon, slept in the mountains, harvested grain with farmers, traveled to the northwest, walked through the endless yellow sand, climbed the Lianmian Snow Mountain, swam to the East China Sea, and drifted on the sea with fishing boats.
In the fifth year, Xie Sui recovered the lost land of the previous dynasty.
Wuchun learned about this from the people she stayed with at the time. She drank a mouthful of coarse porridge silently, thinking: It’s great.
When passing a small town at the foot of a mountain, she rested in a teahouse and asked the shopkeeper for a plate of green bean cakes and a pot of Guanyin Youlan. The shopkeeper shouted, and the curtain of the back door of the teahouse was opened by a strong bronze hand. When Wu Chun saw the person clearly, she was stunned.
The person froze, and it was not clear whether to leave or not. The shopkeeper shouted loudly: "What are you doing? Why don't you serve tea to the girl?"
Wu Chun said: "Zheng Zhou."
She looked at him straight, and he walked over to her in silence, poured tea and was about to leave.

. Wu Chun said again: "Zheng Zhou."
Zheng Zhou simply did not move, "Speak, Queen, what do you want?"
His voice was not small, and everyone around looked over.
What? Queen! ?
Wu Chun was very calm, "You don't have to call me that. You saved my life before. I think your arm has something to do with me."
Zheng Zhou's arm was missing one.
"You know, I can't let Xie Sui forgive you. I will be sorry for him. He is my husband, so I naturally want to be with him, but I can't just let your hand go. I will buy you a house in a prosperous area here, find you a good girl, and let you have a good marriage. How about it?" Wu Chun was afraid that he would feel bad, "I am not rewarding the people in a condescending way, but I sincerely want to compensate you. I don't know if you want it. If you don't want it, then I can only leave." There was a long
silence.
The people around him didn't dare to speak. There was only one person in Daning who dared to call the emperor by his name. Who else could this girl be but the queen?
Zheng Zhou's silence showed that no one knew what he was thinking.
Wu Chun drank tea silently without urging him.
Zheng Zhou said, "Okay." He smiled, "I'll do as you say, but I want a big, spacious house, and a pretty girl. She doesn't have to be able to serve people, as long as she is good-looking and honest."
Oh, he really got the upper hand, and he picked her! Everyone else gnashed their teeth: How could this Zhou guy, who has a missing arm, be so lucky to get such a huge bargain and live better than the hardworking people like them? !
But only Wu Chun felt relieved.
Zheng Zhou was thinking about her. If he didn't agree, she would keep thinking about it.
She said, "Okay, I'll do it for you tomorrow."
...
In these years, Yu'er has gradually become a little adult.
Wuchun goes back several times a year, so the feeling is particularly strong. Yu'er has gone
from babbling to being a little sensible, and then studying hard to understand the world. It seems that every time she goes back, there is a drastic change. But the only thing that has not changed is that Yu'er has never been estranged from her. Every time she sees her, she loses her airs. The ten-year-old girl acts like a four or five-year-old child, flying into her arms and saying coquettishly, "Mom is back!"

. The servants looked at each other in bewilderment: Who can believe that this is the usually taciturn, mature and steady princess!
Wu Chun never thought Xie Yu was quiet. Every time Xie Yu wanted to tell her everything that happened in the harem since she left last time, she was still wondering in her heart, until she passed by Yuxue Hall and saw Xie Yu and a companion studying through the window. They looked serious and calm, which was quite similar to her father's way of handling official business. Occasionally, she answered the questions of the Grand Tutor, saying little but getting to the point. Then she realized that Xie Yu would only show the liveliness that she should have at her age when she was close to her.
She expected Xie Yu to grow up like this, after all, her father's character was there.
She asked Xie Yu, "Do you think your father is too strict with you? Is it tiring?"
Xie Yu replied, "Not tiring at all. My father is a wise emperor and someone I admire. I want to be like my father. These lessons are my responsibility. Only by working hard and being strict with myself can I realize my ambitions."
"And my father is also very good to me. The Grand Tutor believes that if God wants to give me a great responsibility, he must first make my heart suffer, so he told me to be less indulged in food and drink. But my father doesn't think so. He even secretly brings me cakes when the Grand Tutor is not around."
The little person had a proud look between his eyebrows.
Wu Chun said, "Okay, okay, your father is the best man! Yu'er, will you blame me... blame me for only participating in a small part of your growth?"
Xie Yu was very surprised, "How can I blame you? Father said that mother wants to pursue her own ideals, just like I want to realize my ambitions. I am grateful to mother for bringing me into this world. I already owe her a lot. How can I blame her for not realizing her own wishes?"
Wu Chun's heart seemed to have a bell being gently struck, spreading a clear and pleasant ripple. She didn't say much, rubbed Xie Yu's head, and hugged her tightly. God
is so good to her. In this life, there are so many people who are good to her.
When Xie Yu was fifteen years old, Xie Sui gave her the name "Hengzhi".
These two characters are simple and do not sound like a girl's name, but they have a deep meaning. They are to remind her to persevere and stick to her heart, to praise her hard work day after day, and to show that her heart is eternal.
As for Wu Chun, he is always willing to wait for the day when she comes back.
After the ceremony of coming of age, Xie Sui made Xie Yu the emperor. When
this edict was issued, the court and the country were shocked. Ten thousand people reported: This is not in accordance with etiquette, how can a woman be the emperor?
Xie Sui had expected this reaction, and he was not in a hurry at all. He followed the ministers' reports. After all, he only had this one daughter, and he raised her with great difficulty. She had to be the successor of the Xie family. If there was any objection, it would be against the Xie family, and the intention of rebellion would be beheaded!
There was no way. The resistance was fruitless, and Xie Yu became the first female emperor in a hundred years.
And the facts proved that women were not inferior to men. Women could handle government affairs well and convince everyone.
After Xie Sui took care of the country, he retired on the surface, but actually went to find Wuchun. Wuchun learned the news of the female emperor's accession to the throne, and not surprisingly, he reunited with Xie Sui one month later.
Fifteen years.
They are no longer the same as they were back then, but they are not old.
Xie Sui's eyebrows and eyes were calmer and more stern than before, and he looked at Wuchun with a more condescending aura. When he looked at Wuchun, his eyes were still gentle. Wuchun had been through the vicissitudes of life over the years, but there were no wrinkles on his face. His eyes were clearer and more transparent, like a piece of jade that had been nurtured for many years.
The day they met was spring.
The flowers were flying and the trees were green. The sun was bright. The past was like a gust of wind blowing away, waiting for today to talk happily.
They stood under the bright red tree and smiled at each other.
"Where are you going?"
"Traveling around the world!"
I kowtowed to the Buddha for a long time, and I abstained from killing for you, sought love and hatred, and buried myself in the sea of fire, just to be with you forever.
I prayed in the cold night, and I passed my true heart, served my anger and ignorance, and soaked in the cold frost for you, just to be with you for this life.
—— Fortunately, we are so lucky.
