The emperor's eyes were confused at first, but then he suddenly realized and said with all his might:
"I have already rehabilitated Guiduo, forgiven A Ruo, and allowed her to be enshrined in the Suochuoro clan ancestral hall. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
Wang Fuzhi bit her lip, and her hot tears could no longer be controlled and fell onto the quilt with golden thread and auspicious cloud and dragon pattern that the emperor was covering himself with.
Her thin lips trembled as she questioned word by word:
"So, can we just pretend that nothing happened? Should I accept your kindness with gratitude and forget about my father, my mother, and my sister?"
The emperor was speechless. He had been on the throne for a long time. Reversing his own decree and rehabilitating Gui Duo was already his biggest concession.
He stared with his eyes wide open, with the majesty that only belongs to an emperor. "Do you want to kill the king because of this? They are all my subjects. Haven't you heard that if the king wants his subjects to die, they have to die?"
Wang Fuzhi stood up from the bedside and looked down at the dying monarch. Her voice was very low but deafening.
"Then Your Majesty, have you ever heard that the anger of an ordinary man can cause blood to splatter five steps away, and the whole world to be in mourning?"
The emperor's chest tightened and he felt extremely panicked. He didn't know whether it was because of the effect of the medicine or because he was shocked by Wang Fuzhi's rebellious behavior.
He stared with his eyes wide open, and for the first time in his mind he recalled the early spring when the weather was supposed to be warmer. A Ruo died by hitting a pillar after she spoke out her grievances in the Qianqing Palace. Then, heavy snow fell from the sky.
Wang Fuzhi watched the emperor's body become increasingly stiff until he completely stopped breathing.
She squatted down, covered her face and cried loudly, just like the day her house was ransacked many years ago.
Father, mother and sister all passed away to heaven, leaving Xiao alone, forever in that snowy day.
From then on, she could only live in this world relying on memories and hatred.
And now, she finally sent away the person who destroyed her family with her own hands.
While Wang Fuzhi was crying bitterly, she heard rustling footsteps outside the hall. She turned around and saw that it was Jinzhong.
Eunuch Jinzhong came over quickly, as if he had expected this.
"Madam Concubine Dun, it was the master who asked me to come here. She told you to remember that the emperor died of a serious illness and it had nothing to do with you. Please remember that it was you and I who served in the palace just now."
Wang Fuzhi looked up outside the palace. The sky was high and the clouds were light.
She seemed to see Concubine Jia, Concubine Ling and the sisters in the harem chatting and laughing together, tasting Concubine Qing's pastries not far away.
She struggled to get up and, following Jinzhong's instructions, went to Taiji Hall to report the news of the Emperor's death to the Empress.
In the 30th year of Qianlong's reign, Emperor Qianlong passed away and passed the throne to Crown Prince Yonglian.
After Crown Prince Yonglian ascended the throne, he changed the reign title to Yongning in the second year, honored the Empress Dowager as Grand Empress Dowager, honored Empress Fucha as Empress Dowager, honored Concubine Hui as Imperial Noble Dowager Concubine Huixian, Concubine Chun as Imperial Noble Dowager Concubine Chunhui, Concubine Jia as Imperial Noble Dowager Concubine Shujia, Concubine Ling as Imperial Noble Dowager Concubine Lingyi, and the rest of the concubines were honored as concubines dowagers.
Yonglian built an entire and magnificent Ningshou Palace in the northeast of the Forbidden City for the empress dowager and the concubines to live in.
Yonglian took even more care of the emperor's posthumous child in the womb of Imperial Noble Dowager Consort Lingyi. As soon as the little princess was born, she was named Princess Gulun Heke.
In the same year, Emperor Yongning, Yonglian, officially appointed Crown Princess Niuhulu as Empress and made her the empress.
After Emperor Yongning ascended the throne, he gradually opened up the trading ports that had been closed by the previous emperor, and Prince Yongsheng of Lu was in charge of trade affairs.
The steam engine developed by Prince Rong's wife Tian Yuner, which had been suspended by the previous emperor, was improved again with the support of Yonglian and applied to various aspects of social development.
Prince Rong, Yongqi, also enjoyed the emperor's absolute trust, and the task of training the navy was entrusted to him.
The seventh prince Yongcong led Yongxuan and Yongji and began a life of conquest, successively pacifying several invading neighboring countries such as Ryukyu and Tsarist Russia.
The eleventh prince Yongyan also played his due role. In the negotiations with the defeated country, he fought for every penny of compensation, which dealt a heavy blow to the enemy's economy and enriched the Qing Dynasty's treasury.
In addition to politics and economics, Prince Xun Yongzhang's vernacular novels sold well overseas, and Mr. Cao's book The Story of the Stone, which he took care of, became popular all over the world, leading to a saying in various countries: "If you don't talk about Dream of the Red Chamber when you start a conversation, it's useless to read all the poems and books."
The sixth prince Yongrong and the tenth prince Yongheng, one specialized in painting and the other in poetry, both achieved considerable accomplishments.
As for Yongji, he was the most beloved son to all the empresses and the kindest brother to his sisters. Just as he had wished, he stayed with his mother and sisters, year after year.
Sometimes, he would accompany his wife and Jingsi to visit relatives in Korchin, discovering local delicacies along the way. The cookbooks he wrote, including "Chengqian Food Notes", "Beef and Mutton Consumption Guide" and "Late Night Snack Culture of the Qing Dynasty", have become classics for spreading Chinese food culture.
In the third year of Yonglian's accession to the throne, the previously accumulated administrative problems had been gradually rectified, and the great ship of the Qing Dynasty was sailing in the vast ocean of the world with a brand new look.
In the third year of Yongning, the Empress Dowager led the concubines to move to the Old Summer Palace, and they finally walked out of the Forbidden City.
Yonglian also granted the concubines the right to live in their children's palaces in their old age, and to live with the Empress Dowager in the Old Summer Palace when they missed her.
Imperial Noble Concubine Shujia finally realized her wish and took turns to enjoy the company of her grandchildren at her son's house.
However, she still missed her sisters and Yan Wan. She thought that Jinzhong had followed her to the Old Summer Palace, and if she didn't go back, Yan Wan would probably be too happy to care about her.
Old Summer Palace
Wang Fuzhi's residence was surrounded by tall bamboos, whose shadows moved in the wind. She was teaching Princess He Ke how to write, while Yi Huan was sitting by the window, teaching Jing Xuan "On the Six Kingdoms".
On the other side of the lake, Langya was lying on a bamboo chair, Xiyue was playing the pipa, Bai Ruiji was playing the moon guitar, and Hailan and Lujun were embroidering Princess Heke's favorite little rabbit.
Lu Muping brought a few snack boxes, looked left and right, and asked, "Where's Yanwan?"
Bai Ruiji carefully pointed to a pavilion in the distance.
"Look, she's learning Mongolian dance from Eyinzhu."
