Season Finale

King Jin was appointed as the crown prince, and the front and rear palaces were all relieved.

That year, the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, died of illness. When she passed away, she specially called Xie Fenghuang to her side, and said, "I am relieved to see that the King of Jin is mourning the family. You don't have to do anything in the future, right?"

Xie Fenghuang was in a complicated mood, and assured him: "Don't worry, I will take good care of Your Majesty."

"One more thing, after Ai's family is gone, don't ask Qu Shi to come to the capital." The loving mother, the Empress Dowager, nodded and ordered, "Even if Ai's family is gone, I don't want to see that lowly servant proud!"

She didn't need to say that Xie Fenghuang would not welcome Queen Mother Qu back. After all, which daughter-in-law likes her mother-in-law to stay nearby and take care of herself?

Even if Empress Dowager Qu had a good relationship with Xie Fenghuang in the past, that was only in the past.

Who knows now?

Especially since the Empress Dowager Yuan and the Empress Dowager are gone, the Empress Dowager Qu is the most distinguished elder in the royal family.

Xie Fenghuang finally sent away two generations of mother-in-laws, but he didn't want to deal with another Queen Mother Qu.

The death of the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, brought Chunjia a great blow.

Because of his years of martial arts practice, he has always been physically strong. Even if he was seriously injured for a few days after defending Xie Fenghuang from the arrow, he recovered quickly after he was raised.

This time, he fell seriously ill.

When I woke up this day, I heard the news that Concubine An committed suicide by hanging herself.

Xie Fenghuang actually didn't want him to hear more bad news at this time, but after all Concubine An was not someone else, she still didn't hide it after much deliberation.

It's just that Chunjia was really indifferent to Yuan Niangniang, she just said "Got it", and ordered her to be buried beside the tomb of Empress Dowager Yuan.

And Empress Dowager Yuan, as the queen mother of Fuyang King's lineage, was to be buried in Fuyang County, not in the imperial mausoleum like Chunjia.

The meaning of these words is to let Yuan Niangniang follow her natal aunt instead of the emperor's mausoleum.

Although Xie Fenghuang didn't care about the past between the emperor and Yuan Niangniang for a long time, after hearing this, he didn't show it on the surface, but he was very happy in his heart.

Maybe it's because they are getting older, but this winter, she also received a bad news that Mrs. Jiang had passed away.

In fact, Jiang shi wanted to leave two years ago, but she tried every means to persuade him to survive.

However, he had a serious heart disease, and after staying through the winter of this year, it may be that after seeing his grandson as a reserve, he relaxed in one breath, and let go on a snowy night.

Xie Fenghuang was stunned for a long time after hearing the news, and then burst into tears.

She didn't know whether it was right or wrong for her to force her mother to stay in the past few years. After all, the Jiang family had been unhappy in the past few years, even though everything seemed to be going well.

There were even days when Jiang was in a trance to the point of calling Xie Xiaoyu and others' names to King Jin.

Xie Meng went to visit, but was held by hand and told that she shouldn't marry the Wang family... She was treated as her sixth aunt, Xie Fenghuan.

This situation made all the juniors worried. Xie Li lived with Jiang Shi, and he greeted the grandmother almost three or four times a day, carefully teasing the grandmother, but the effect was not great.

Seeing the pleasures in the world, Jiang was not as happy as when he occasionally went to the palace to see the queen.

It was only at this time that Xie Fenghuang realized that her mother was indeed different from her, Jiang's family really loved the child.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have taught her to put herself first in everything.

Instead, like an ordinary mother, instill virtue, virtue and filial piety.

When Jiang passed away, Chunjia's condition had just improved, but who knew that the queen fell ill again.

Because the emperor and empress were sick successively in the palace, it seemed very dark and gloomy this year.

During the Lantern Festival in the twenty-seventh year of Chunjia, the empress talked about some past events. Xie Fenghuang mentioned that when she was young, her father and brother would make lanterns for her on this day. However, under the guidance of the craftsman, he also made a rather exquisite revolving lantern with her.

Seeing the queen holding her hands in surprise, Chunjia couldn't hold back for a while, stroked her temple hair and promised: "I will make it for you every year from now on."

This kind of promise was promised every year, and in a blink of an eye it was the thirty-ninth year of Chunjia.

This year, the emperor was unable to make lanterns for the queen. He fell ill at the end of the thirty-eighth year of Chunjia. He felt ill during his illness, but he still wanted to spend another Lantern Festival with the queen, so he fell into a coma. With heavy support, finally on the night before the Lantern Festival, thousands of lanterns in the imperial capital were ready, and when the time was waiting to shine on thousands of households, the bell of Miyagi rang.

The colorful lanterns were hastily taken off.

The next day, the magnificent Lantern Festival was replaced by a city full of plains.

Xiangji, the emperor of Chunjia, practiced Zuo at fifteen and was in charge at twenty-three. He died in the Taichu Palace at the age of fifty-five. After discussions with the crown prince, the ministers and the prince named him Xuanzong in the temple to honor the merits of the Xinggong Xiangshi.

Xuanzong's reputation in the government and the public is excellent, and the world is saddened by his death.

Compared with Xuanzong's biological father and heir father, he has already lived a long life.

However, for Xie Fenghuang, when he was alive, she was always uncertain. Even if the fifteenth prince became the heir, she was always on guard against this son following in the footsteps of the previous two princes.

But after he left, the huge collapse in his heart made the queen feel like a walking dead for half a month.

She also cried, laughed, talked, and ate, as if she had passed through this level very calmly, but her energy and energy seemed to be taken away, and she was so numb that it was shocking.

The Jiang family is gone, and the royal elders are also withered. The only person who can persuade them is the valet who has been with him for many years. .

"It can be seen that sometimes people can't make promises at will." Xie Fenghuang was in a hurry, and it was because the new king took the time to come over and kneel down to ask her to take care of her, so she murmured, "Your Majesty... when the late emperor was here, my palace ... Aijia promised that if he went before Aijia, Aijia would be buried with him. At that time, he stopped Aijia, but Aijia didn't take it seriously. But now that he really went, Aijia also felt that , the world is meaningless."

It may be that the loving mother Empress Dowager's spirit in heaven has something to do with it. After King Jin became the crown prince, the relationship between her and the emperor really stopped.

In the next ten years or so, the six palaces were useless, because there were so many heirs, and the officials had no reason to interfere with the emperor's appointment, not to mention that the most favored one was already a decent queen.

They can only rejoice in the harmony between the emperor and empress.

The emperor and the empress live like a husband and wife, living a stable and peaceful life for more than ten years, just as the loving mother empress dowager expected.

When living like this, I don’t feel anything. One person left first, and the rest of them don’t know what to do?

The new king and the new queen, as well as the grown-up King Zhen, Kang An, Zhao Qing and other favored heirs all came to persuade them again and again. It's too ostentatious, but today he let his eldest son act coquettishly and cutely, so he dragged Xie Fenghuang to the long-deserted Dendrobium Palace.

This palace was originally remote, but since Concubine An committed suicide, it became more and more deserted.

Xie Fenghuang was not in the mood to revisit his hometown at all, but Xinjun's eldest son was quite clever and cute, and he was her eldest grandson, so his status was different after all.

She knew that Xinjun must have prepared some novelty in this palace to amuse herself, but she is not in the mood for anything now.

However, even though she had been prepared for a long time, she was still stunned by the people she saw in Ningbi Hall after she walked in.

The man was in his twenties, with light robes, brows, eyes and demeanor just like Chun Jia before he took office.

At this moment, Xie Fenghuang understood how the Empress Dowager felt when she secretly returned to the palace from Fuyang County for her dowry thirty-nine years ago, knelt in front of the steps and cried, "The current king of Fuyang is like the first emperor". .

Her eye sockets were sore and astringent in an instant, and she even subconsciously tidied up the corners of her hair and clothes that she hadn't noticed for a long time.

But the next moment, when she realized that this person was just a substitute that Xinjun tried to find, but not Chunjia himself, her heart immediately turned cold.

"Let your father send him away." The new empress dowager calmed down, ignored the man who was trying to imitate Chunjia's behavior and came over to say hello, and only touched the top of her grandson's hair, and said softly, "Don't let me go in the future." Doing such a ridiculous thing."

No matter how resembling it is, it is not the true deity after all, so what's the point of putting it in front of you?

Moreover, not long after Xie Fenghuang entered the palace, Chunjia took over the personal administration. The late emperor she was familiar with was actually not before the pre-administration, but the years after the pro-administration, when his majesty became more and more grand.

It's just that such an emperor's majesty, even the new king can't fully imitate it, let alone a mere face-to-face?

This trick did not work, but it could not shake the filial piety of the new king.

Soon he gave Xie Fenghuang a second "surprise": he secretly summoned Qi Jiulu to Beijing, and sent him to Qingci Palace in disguise to pay his respects.

This is also the first time in decades that the old people meet again after a farewell that year.

Compared with the young face described last time, it just made Xie Fenghuang feel melancholy and lost. This time, when he was relatively speechless with Qi Jiulu, who had graying temples, Xie Fenghuang just wanted to roll up his sleeves and blow up the new king. dog head.

She has nothing to say with Qi Jiulu now, and in fact Qi Jiulu is the same with her.

The two were silent for a long time, and in the end they just talked about the situation after the farewell like the old friends who met each other when they were ordinary teenagers and lost for many years. The most talked about was about their children.

When they realize that the only thing they can talk about is their children and grandchildren, they all have the same sadness in their eyes: they are real, old.

That's why I gradually don't care about myself, and focus on my children and grandchildren.

Everyone feels that they are old, so what is the past worth caring about?

Xie Fenghuang finally fell in love with a little granddaughter of Qi Jiulu, and decided to hire the son of King Qin as his wife.

Qi Jiulu didn't agree immediately, and asked carefully about the behavior of King Qin and his wife, and also about the preferences, age and appearance of King Qin's son, before he solemnly agreed.

Before resigning, he didn't mention the fact that the queen mother didn't go with him back then, but thanked the queen mother for letting go of Qi Jiuzhang and the Qi family.

Such an attitude of thanking actually completely opened the distance between the two of them...

The past of those youths and craziness will eventually disappear without a trace in the years.

Right now they are just pure kings and ministers.

Maybe I can still remember some past friendship, but it's only to the extent of an old friend.

Nothing to do with Fengyue.

After Qi Jiulu left, Xie Fenghuang couldn't care less about being depressed, and ordered someone to prepare a ruler in advance, and summoned the new king, first he twitched his head, and finally asked quite speechlessly: "How did your father treat you when he was alive?" It's not bad, why are you so eager to give the left one to the Ai family before his bones are cold?"

If there is a spirit under Chunjia Jiuquan, I am afraid that he will be so angry that he will come back to life?

She couldn't help becoming suspicious, and asked Xinjun's ear, "If Aijia takes the first step, do you still want to present beauties to your father for the sake of favor?!"

"Mother, please forgive me, how can I do this?" The new king begged for mercy, plausibly saying, "Although the father is good to my son, I am not the only child he loves. After all, this position of prince is my own. Yes, it wasn't that the father tried his best to give it to the son. In this case, the gratitude of the son to the father is the gratitude of the ordinary emperor. Besides, the father has gone, and the deceased has gone, so naturally Cherish the empress mother who is in the hall even more! What's more, the emperor doted on the empress mother the most during his lifetime, but he was just a plaything, so why should he care about the empress mother?"

Xie Fenghuang stared at him for a long time, finally sighed, let go of his ears, touched the top of his hair, and said: "You are indeed the biological son of the Ai family! The Ai family thought the same way when they were favored... Your father What evil did you do to meet our mother and son?"

The new monarch doesn't like to hear this: "The mother and queen are both talented and virtuous, and the son is intelligent, capable, smart and kind. The father and the mother have accumulated blessings in the past life."

"...You get lost!" The new empress dowager was annoyed when she heard this, and waved her away. After all, Xie Fenghuang didn't really plan to be buried with Chunjia, but she was used to being with such a person for many years, so she suddenly left alone , was at a loss for a while.

After being made such a fuss, the gloom in her heart actually dissipated a lot.

From the next day, it gradually came back to life.

This made Xinjun and the others breathe a sigh of relief.

In the next few years, the new monarch still did not give up, and from time to time arranged some young men who looked exactly like Chunjia to hang around in front of Xie Fenghuang. Pushing himself to cuckold his own father.

It was the first time she saw such a cheating son, but she was quite worried that one day he would come to cheat herself too.

However, Xinjun didn't care about the relationship between father and son to Chunjia, but he was quite patient with her mother-in-law. After becoming an emperor, he would just run away when he was beaten, and he had no intention of disobedience.

Xie Fenghuang lived peacefully for more than 20 years, and died on a Lantern Festival night, holding the last lantern made by the late emperor himself.

Xinjun was also old at that time, looking at the faded but well-kept lanterns, he also felt a little disappointed.

Unlike his father, Emperor Chunjia, he had many concubines in the harem. Although he respected the queen that his parents personally chose for him, he was never a long-term lover, and he didn't even understand how Chunjia favored his mother and concubines for many years.

After all, the emperor is rich all over the world, what kind of beauties are there?

Well, he felt that he was not unloving, he was just obsessed with a beautiful and gentle woman of fifteen or sixteen years old.

As for concubines who are fifteen or sixteen years old, they will always grow up, so he, who sticks to his own preferences, will change to a new batch...

Why didn't the father change back then? Although the queen mother is beautiful and alert, doesn't it feel boring after decades? When Gong Xiangqi thinks of his parents these years, he feels a little perplexed.

I don't know whether to praise the father and the emperor for his determination, or the mother and the queen for her skillful methods?

With such a sad mood, he personally buried the Empress Dowager, and solemnly put all the lanterns made by the late Emperor himself into the catalpa coffin.

In the spring of that year, Gong Xiangqi took all his sons to help the spirit, and sent the coffin of Empress Dowager Xie to the tomb of Xuanzong for burial.

In his dynasty, the story of Gong Xiangji and Xie Fenghuang was already very famous.

But the whole process is also a bridge section that everyone likes to see: the daughter of Xie, a good family in the north, was favored by Yi Guogong Yun's family because of her suitable son and beauty, and was adopted as a righteous daughter, and sent to the palace to serve Emperor Xuanzong.

Empress Xie was born with visions, and it was rumored that her appearance and bearing were unmatched, so she won the favor of the emperor when she first entered the palace, but at that time, the Ji family was in power and persecuted Empress Xie a lot.

All in all, after the emperor and empress upgraded and fought monsters again and again, in the end, there was one Yuji Yunei and one mother Yi Tianxia, ​​which has achieved decades of harmony between the emperor and empress.

Those who knew the story behind Mingjun Xianhou's story were dumbfounded at first, but after hearing it a lot, they became a little suspicious, wondering if they remembered it wrong?

Then gradually I felt that it seemed like this was the case.

Xuanzong is promising, Xiehou is virtuous, born with the same quilt and died in the same hole, his sons are prosperous, his successors are filial and considerate... Isn't it a match made in heaven?

If there are any discrepancies in other unofficial historical records, it must be fabricated by the market in order to defraud money, so it must not be believed.
