My diary of transcendence from the heavens

Chapter 131 129. Death in arms, life ends

time flies.

Zhao Xuanqi's energy became less and less than before.

He was getting older and older, and gradually he couldn't even see clearly, his eyes became a little blurry, and his ears couldn't hear.

Even life cannot take care of itself.

You even need to hire someone to take care of you in order to complete your daily life and ensure that you don't starve to death at home.

He felt that he would die alone, dying alone in a corner where no one cares about him, in the hometown where he was born and raised.

However, the situation is often changeable.

An unexpected situation occurred.

On this day, an old woman came from afar and slowly walked into Zhao Xuanqi's house. She drove away the people Zhao Xuanqi paid to take care of his life, and instead took the initiative to take care of Zhao Xuanqi.

He is proficient in washing, cooking and farm work.

Zhao Xuanqi looked at the old woman in front of him.

The old woman was dressed in rural women's clothes, rustic and ordinary.

She does farm work very neatly, and she really looks like an ordinary old woman.

But her identity is unusual.

Princess Xiaoyao.

This is the princess of a country.

High position and authority.

When he was young, he was extremely arrogant and elegant. He dared to point at the number one scholar on the spot and say, "Be my prince-in-law."

Now that she is old, she looks ordinary, no different from an ordinary old woman.

He was actually willing to take the initiative to do farm work and backbreaking work.

It was a huge contrast, and this situation caught Zhao Xuanqi off guard.

Zhao Xuanqi asked in confusion: "I am living in seclusion in the countryside, why are you following me here? Why don't you just stay in your Luoyang City and suffer here."

Princess Xiaoyao snorted and said angrily: "You can come to the village to live in seclusion? Can't I come to the village to live in seclusion? I am not a princess now, I am an old woman in the village now, with no guards or men to help us. Just the two of us living in peace and seclusion here.”

Zhao Xuanqi wanted to drive her away, not wanting this pampered princess to suffer here.

Princess Xiaoyao refused to leave, and said seriously: "I can still walk, run, and do farm work in my 60s, but you can't do anything. Just let me take care of your last days. You will serve the country." You have sacrificed so much, you have sacrificed so much for the people of this world, at least you have someone to collect your body."

Zhao Xuanqi looked at the look in the old woman's eyes and her determined expression, and finally fell into silence.

He couldn't say no and couldn't refuse.

He is really too old to be beaten or scolded.

From that day on, there were some new things happening in Zhao's village.

Everyone originally thought that the reason why the talkative old man Zhao returned to the village to live in seclusion was because his wife and children had all died. He had no choice but to come to the village to live alone, alone. Waiting to die slowly.

What everyone didn't expect was that the talkative old man Zhao was not as miserable as everyone imagined. His old wife did not die, but actually came after him to take care of him, and she took care of him so well.

Yes, in the eyes of the villagers, this old man and old woman are husband and wife.

They thought that Zhao Xuanqi was angry, so they abandoned the old woman and came to live in the village alone. The old woman had always loved Zhao Xuanqi, so she was willing to pursue him and take care of him.

At first, Zhao Xuanqi tried hard to defend himself, but later he found that the explanation was useless. The more he explained, the more unclear he became, so he didn't say more.

If you are going to die, let others say it.

After this day, Zhao Xuanqi and Princess Xiaoyao lived under the same roof. The two slept in different beds, and there was always a distance between them.

Zhao Xuanqi has found it difficult to take care of himself. The battles in his youth have made him particularly fragile in old age. Now it is extremely difficult to even walk. Princess Xiaoyao basically takes care of his life.

Princess Xiaoyao pushed a wheelchair and pushed Zhao Xuanqi around to bask in the sun.

The two of them sat under the big banyan tree when nothing happened, listening to the old men in the village telling stories, chatting or bragging. This was one of the few highlights in an ordinary day.

When he was talking deeply, Zhao Xuanqi would occasionally say a few words, still bragging, saying that he had participated in various wars and that he was a retired veteran.

At first, Princess Xiaoyao would only listen on the sidelines, but after getting used to it, Princess Xiaoyao would sometimes join in the conversation and brag with the villagers.

Others brag about themselves, but Princess Xiaoyao brags about Zhao Xuanqi, saying how powerful Zhao Xuanqi is and what great things he has done. Zhao Xuanqi said that he is a veteran, and Princess Xiaoyao said that he is an invincible general and that he suppressed He defeated the Eight Kings Rebellion and led the war to destroy the Southern Zhao Kingdom, becoming more and more powerful.

As a result, the villagers discovered that Old Man Zhao could brag, but his old woman could brag even more and talk big. She said that wealth was like running water and money was like dung. She also said that she had lived in the palace and said that Zhao Xuanqi He had done something earth-shattering, and he looked like he was serious about it.

Others wanted to defend Princess Xiaoyao and expose Princess Xiaoyao's tricks, but they couldn't quarrel with Princess Xiaoyao at all. The more they argued, the more energetic Princess Xiaoyao became, and the louder Princess Xiaoyao blew. In her mouth, Zhao Xuanqi became the savior. .

If the argument fails, Princess Xiaoyao will even beat someone. An old lady chased three old men into a fight, beating them until they cried for father and mother.

The villagers felt that Zhao Xuanqi could brag, but Princess Xiaoyao could brag even more. The two were indeed a couple.

In their eyes, Zhao Xuanqi and Princess Xiaoyao are just ordinary country old people, down-and-out old men and women who can't even afford chicken, duck, and fish. They are definitely not wealthy people.

They saw it all as a joke.

If they were to know that Zhao Xuanqi and Princess Xiaoyao, one was the famous Grand Master Zhao, the King of Zhennan and the Regent, and they had various titles, and Princess Xiaoyao was the top woman in the country, the daughter of Emperor Jingming. , Emperor Qinglong's aunt, Emperor Qianli's aunt, I don't know what they will think.

The so-called bragging was actually suppressed. Princess Xiaoyao seemed to be bragging outrageously, but in fact she was belittling Zhao Xuanqi. The real Zhao Xuanqi had far more achievements than she boasted.

……

Time passes like this.

At the age of 62, Zhao Xuanqi was completely paralyzed. He could not move his lower body and could only sit in a wheelchair.

In the evening of this day, after dinner, Zhao Xuanqi was lying on the bed to rest, when he suddenly saw a familiar figure outside the window. That figure was his wife Yuan Caiyun!

There were several other people standing next to Yuan Caiyun, including Emperor Jingming and Emperor Qinglong, including people who were familiar with him.

These people stood outside the window, waving to Zhao Xuanqi constantly and showing bright smiles.

Then their shadows became more and more illusory, and they kept walking towards the distance, about to disappear from sight.

Zhao Xuanqi was anxious and shouted out the window, trying to make them stop and let them come back.
