Concubine's Handbook of Good Life in Ancient Times

Chapter 384

How can Shu Ning not be moved, no one knows better than her how good the emperor has been to her these years.

"I knew you would like it. This year, it didn't look so beautiful because a lot of petals fell off in the delivery process. But next year it will be fine, and next year will be even better. We can plant a plum tree every year , the plum grove will grow bigger every year. At that time, if you want to visit the whole plum grove, you will have to spend a whole day. And we can not only enjoy the plums, but also have plums to eat in the coming year. The plums picked by you and me, You can also make wine with dried fruits and ebony plums, and I heard that plum wine is also delicious!"

The man promised in Shuning's ears that they would plant the first plum tree in the spring of the coming year and eat the plums they picked themselves.

Year after year, until the spring of the 46th year of Qianzheng, they also planted a plum tree together, and made a promise to plant it again in the coming year.Unexpectedly, in the winter of that year, the first emperor let go of her hand when he was seriously ill.

In the evening, the plum appreciation banquet hosted by the queen ended.Shu Ning came to Chang Ning Palace in a phoenix chariot. Although there was no one living here, people were arranged to clean it every day. Sometimes Shu Ning would come here to sit.The furnishings in the palace were the same as before, they were all used by her before, even the last book she read was placed there as it was.

On that day, she suddenly received the news that the emperor was seriously ill. She put down the book in her hand and rushed to Taiji Palace immediately. She only had time to see the emperor for the last time, leaving a sentence to wait for her on the Naihe bridge before she passed away.When he left, he still had a smile on his face.

Afterwards, Shu Ning found out that the emperor had been ill for several days. In order not to worry her, he blocked all the news and spread lies to her, saying that he was busy with state affairs and asked the imperial concubine to take care of him. Come to her when he's done.

At that time, what the emperor thought was to wait for the concubine to go to the imperial concubine after he recovered from his illness. Who knew that this illness could not be cured. Find the imperial concubine and see him for the last time.

Gently caressing the book, nothing has changed here, only its owner has changed.

After visiting Changning Palace, Shuning went to Meilin again.

Merlin didn't have the hustle and bustle of the day, and Merlin was extraordinarily quiet in the night.

With the sparks from the lantern, Shu Ning came to the plum tree planted by her late emperor ten years ago.This is the last plum tree to be planted in the plum grove. Without the first emperor, Shu Ning does not want to plant another plum tree.

"You step back."

After Shu Ning took the lantern from Mei Chun, she asked them all to retreat.Although worried, Mei Chun and the others retreated outside Mei Lin.

Hanging the lantern on the nearby plum tree, stroking the last plum tree which was already very strong, Shu Ning put her head on it.Tears fell drop by drop along the tree to the ground, and soon disappeared into the snow.

In the next life, I will not be a concubine, you will not be an emperor, how about we live an ordinary life?

it is good.

In the winter of the 20th year of Chengzheng, on the same day that the first emperor died, the Empress Dowager, the Holy Mother of Renhui, died of illness in the Longevity Palace with a smile.

Hui, every word to do her life.Although she herself often said that she was stupid, she gave birth to two princes safely in that man-eating palace and was favored by the emperor. No one would think that she was stupid.

The evaluation of her in history is also very positive, the only stain is that she monopolizes the favor of Emperor Qianzheng for decades, and her merciless means of beating and killing palace officials.

But in general, she has more positive comments than negative ones, and she is a respectable woman.

Later generations also had a very meaningful evaluation of her two sons, Emperor Chengzheng and Prince Jiale, and believed that their liberation of women came from their mother, Empress Dowager Renhui.

Therefore, Empress Dowager Renhui was also called the pioneer of women's liberation by later generations.
