In the blink of an eye, twenty years had passed. If it weren't for the Empress Dowager's question, I wouldn't have thought about it. Time flew by and many things were almost forgotten. The empress dowager used the story of Chen and Dong Fei to compare me with her, causing my heart to suddenly feel warm …

After the incident with Ulan Tooya, Xuan Ye didn't let his guard down. After Ulan Tooya entered the palace to assassinate him, the Bulni Party intended to subvert the Great Qing, but how big was this anti-Qing group? Do you have any spies amongst the current noble princes of the Meng clan? This made him often wonder if, after the incident, he had ordered Arany to join the Alliance at the Karakorum, to inquire a little, and Arany reported that there was nothing unusual about it, and that, as a king, it was a matter of time, so he decided to travel north, to see the princes of Mongolia again, and whether there was anyone out there who was not himself, and at the end of July, he traveled north on his throne.

After his trip to the north of Xuanya Temple, he was in a good mood. During this trip, what made him feel more at ease was that the remnants of Bulny had no connections within the flags of Mongolia, so he was assured that he could take back Yaxa. He ordered Sabu to lay siege to Yaxa City and put up a resistance against Oroth's reinforcements. In the same month, Xuan Ye once again used the forehead map to lead the imperial bodyguards.

In September, Eros Chahan sent envoys to discuss the settlement of Yaksa, and Xuan Ye agreed. He sent Ming Zhu to receive the documents before noon and was responsible for the negotiations. Xuan Ye also wanted a peaceful solution to the foreign state, so that Sabu would surround the soldiers of Yaksha and return to the base. At the same time, there were more and more complaints about Ming Zhu and Jin Fang.

In addition, Xuan Ye still has a problem in these years, namely Junggar. In fact, Mongolia was divided into three parts: the Southern Desert, the Northern Desert and the Western Desert. The Southern Desert had long belonged to the Qing Dynasty, while the Northern Desert and the Western Desert belonged to the Qing Dynasty. The reincarnation of Wensa the living Buddha, the leader of the Tibetan Yellow Church, was received at a young age. From Zang Xiufu to Lhasa, in the 5th world. Lai. La. What an undergraduate scripture.

Kangxi Nine years, in the struggle for Junggar Khan, Gardan's older brother, Mongol, was killed by his half-brothers Chechen Taghi and Zotebbat. A year later, Gardan returned to Junggar and led his old tribe to a fierce battle with Zotobatur. He won a complete victory. In all these years, Brougatan had been advancing westward, occupying Hami, Turpan, and then spreading to the southern border. He had also seized a large piece of land in Central Asia. In his expansion, he had been particularly close to the Qing dynasty. In the eleventh year of Kangxi, his savior paid tribute, asking the Qing government to recognize his ruling position in Junggar and to allow the establishment of a mutual market relationship. In the meantime, tribute was often sent to the capital, and trade between the two sides had been very active over the years.

It was reasonable to say that Kaldan's attitude towards the Qing Dynasty was positive, but after the incident at Ulan Tooya, Xuan Ye felt a slight unease in his heart. He was assured that Mo Bei would be on his way to visit the North, but Mo Xi had no choice but to think about it further, so he ordered the Minister in charge of external affairs to send Kaldane to the capital to pay tribute. When Kaldane arrived and explained in detail the dispute with Luo Buji, Xuan Ye was no longer suspicious.

After all, after the incident with Wu Lantu, the atmosphere in the imperial harem had always been gloomy. The Emperor bestowed this child with a name, hoping that this child would bring an auspicious omen, and at the same time, order the Imperial Noble Concubine Yi to raise this child, because this noble Min had taken over the harem.

Every time he saw the empress dowager's weak body, he would feel his heart ache. In fact, Rong'er and Xuan Ye both knew that the current empress dowager couldn't just suddenly leave one day, and it was precisely because of this that Xuan Ye hadn't left the capital city for a long time in a year. The only time he went on a northern patrol was more than ten days, and the less time he spent in the capital, the more he feared she would return.

In the blink of an eye, it was already past spring. This new year could still be considered happy. The empress dowager was also interested, and it was a rare moment of liveliness in the palace.

He remembered one day after the fifteenth day of the first month when the empress dowager was in a good mood, chatting with Rong'er. As they chatted, the empress dowager suddenly spoke up, "Imperial Concubine Rong, you know about the assassination attempt on the emperor, right?"

"Huh?" Rong'er raised his head in shock and looked at the empress dowager. The emperor had ordered not to tell the empress dowager about this matter in order to prevent her from worrying.

The empress dowager smiled lightly. "Are you curious how This Dowager knows? "This Dowager knows nothing about this palace, but this one knows that the Emperor is filial and filial. I was afraid that this one might be worried, so this one pretends not to know."

"Ancestor, fortunately the emperor is uninjured." Rong'er said softly.

Her eyes reddened. "But I don't feel well. Recently, I've been thinking that I won't be able to live much longer and whether or not my grandson will be very lonely in the future. In this world, how many people hate him, and how many people want him to die? Since this matter was made known to This Dowager, This Dowager has been unable to sleep all night. " As she spoke, tears rolled down the empress dowager's face. Uncle Su hurriedly stepped forward to wipe them away, then said softly, "Look at you. Why are you feeling so sad again?"

The empress dowager's crying grew even fiercer. "That's right, what's wrong with me? I've never cried in my entire life, so why do I love crying so much now?" As she spoke, her tears actually started to flow even more fiercely.

Rong'er looked at the empress dowager with mixed feelings. She was strong when Emperor Taizong passed away; she was still strong when she brought the young late emperor to govern through complicated court battles; and she was still strong when faced with the young late emperor's death while supporting her grandson, Xuan Ye. As a woman, she shouldered half of the burden of the Great Qingjiang Mountain. She would not cry for the rest of her life, because she knew she would bear it bravely, but now she was crying because she knew she could no longer support his grandson, and the older she grew the more she felt she was powerless.

Thinking of this, Rong'er softly said, "Old Ancestor, every woman in this palace will die for the Emperor. Old Ancestor, take care of your health. To the Emperor, everything is more important than anything else."

The empress dowager smiled lightly. "That's right, Xuan Ye is really filial!" The empress dowager looked at Rong'er. "Imperial Concubine Rong, do you know the meaning behind my words today?"

"Old Ancestor?" Rong'er looked at the empress dowager with a puzzled expression.

"Tell This Dowager how long you've been in the palace?" The empress dowager looked at Rong'er benevolently.

"By March of this year, exactly twenty-one years." Rong'er thought for a moment, then softly replied, his eyes still filled with confusion.

The Empress Dowager nodded. "Very good, it has been twenty-one years. Imperial Concubine Rong, it has been twenty-one years! Do you know what that means? "

"Old Ancestor?" Rong'er was completely confused.

Emperor Taizong has been in love with Chen Fei for seven years, Chen Fei is dead, the late Emperor Shunzhi has been in love with Dong Ou Fei for five years, and Dong Ou Fei is also dead. But after twenty-one years, Xuan Ye's feelings for you have not changed. The empress dowager spoke faintly. "You didn't lose your favor …"

Rong'er lightly breathed in, a warm current flowing through her heart. She didn't know why she felt warmth in her heart.

"Very good, you did well!" The empress dowager nodded her head lightly. "Xuan Ye's harem also has more than twenty women, but they're not suspicious or quarreling. You guys did very well!"

"These are all things that concubines should do." Rong'er said softly.

This Dowager knows that the Emperor doesn't want to set up the empress anymore. For the past few years, this empress didn't force my hand in any way, and Imperial Concubine Yi's body is too weak, and Imperial Concubine Wen is too young, so only you, This Dowager, doesn't need to worry. Most importantly, Xuan Ye will listen to you.

"Old Ancestor!" Rong'er's heart suddenly warmed. He knelt down and said, "Rong'er obtained everything today because of your kindness, Old Ancestor. Rong'er is just a lowly servant. Rong'er will cherish everything we have today."

"Good, very good …" "This Dowager believes in you …" The empress dowager lightly held Rong'er's hands.

Rong'er couldn't help but think to herself, it's already been twenty-one years, and the years have actually passed so quickly …
