Perhaps the death of Lin's concubine was too shocking, and Yebei Chen issued an edict the next day to posthumously honor Lin as Guifei of HuiXian.
Even the funeral was conducted with great solemnity.
Yebei Chen seemed to be afraid that Yuyao would not be pleased, so he ran over to Yu Xian Palace to explain to her specifically, "Yaoer, I have no other intention, I just…"
He was certain that he no longer liked the Concubine Hui Xian, and he was disgusted by what she had done.
But when he saw her burn down the palace and commit suicide, he felt that she was still a pitiful woman after all.
Even though it's not as beautiful as she imagined, her feelings towards herself are true.
Yuyao smiled faintly, stepped forward, and gently wrapped her arms around his waist, her head resting against his chest, "Your Majesty doesn't need to explain. I understand."
If Yebei Chen had no slightest emotion or sense of humanity after seeing the Concubine Hui Xian die in such a decisive and shocking way right in front of him, he would still be cold and heartless, which would make Yuyao afraid.
Don't look at Yebei Chen who seems to be quite cold. In fact, his heart is the hottest and he is also very short of love.
Since Concubine Hui Xian is already dead, why should Yuyao bother to argue with a corpse?
Yebei Chen breathed a sigh of relief and wrapped her even tighter, his lips softly pressing against her ear as he said, "Yaoer, I only want you and I only love you!"
Yuyao's head pressed into his chest and she smiled sweetly, "Your Majesty knows that. I also only love the emperor."
Does she love Yebei Chen? She doesn't know, but the kindness he shows to her and everything he does for her has indeed shaken her heart.
After the funerals of Concubine Hui Xian, Yuyao's postpartum sitting period was over.
And she became the empress of the Great Dynasty, and the entire harem was under her control.
The concubines and consorts in the harem have been dispersed almost completely.
Most of the concubines and consorts in the harem do not want to go home, but choose to live out their remaining years in the imperial gardens.
Before long, the entire harem became empty and quiet.
Yuyao and Yebei Chen discussed it and felt that there were only the two of them, as well as Jingxuan and Nanyan, the four main figures in the palace.
It's not necessary to have so many palace maidens and eunuchs serving, releasing some of the palace personnel can also save expenses.
Yebei Chen laughed at her and scolded her for being a housewife, thinking so quickly about how to save him money.
Yuyao playfully glared at him, "There are only four major figures in the whole palace, and keeping these people here is a waste. I think it's really unnecessary."
"Yuyao is right, then let's release some of them!"
Yebei Chen naturally would not oppose, but agreed with a smile.
With Yebei Chen's nod, Yuyao took the lead in releasing some of the elderly palace staff, or those who wanted to return home.
Each one who was released could receive a sum of silver as compensation.
Qingtan and Qingyu did not leave, but chose to stay in the palace.
They had been sold into the palace since they were young, and even if they left the palace, there was nowhere to go.
After thinking about it, the two decided to stay in the palace.
Yuyao didn't say anything, but respected their choice.
In the harem, there were no other women. The empress was her, and the concubine was also her.
Treating palace affairs during the day and serving Yebei Chen at night was a painful and sweet time.
Before long, three years had passed.
Jing Yexuan is three years old now, and he's acting like a little adult, holding a book and nodding his head as if reading.
Behind Yuyao are several attendants, holding Nanyan, and she looks helpless as she pushes open her son's room door.
"Jing Xuan, don't always stay in your room and read books. Your mother has said that you have to go out and get some fresh air."
After giving birth to a dragon and phoenix twins, she earned 2,000 points.
She gave both Jing Xuan and Nanyan smart pills and health pills.
Perhaps the effect of the pills was too great, so whether it was Jing Xuan or Nanyan, they were particularly intelligent.
Their physical health was also superior to that of ordinary children. From birth until now, they haven't really been sick very much.
Jing Xuan had a serious expression, his little face looked like a small meat bun, with his lips tightly pressed together. He looked exactly like Yebei Chen.
"My mother, Jing Xuan, who will be the crown prince and future emperor, has the responsibility for all the people in the world. The son can't be sloppy. Mother doesn't need to worry about the son."
Yuyao helplessly smiled, "You're only three years old. You can learn things slowly, and you should know about balancing work and rest, right?"
Since Yebei Chen discovered that Jing Xuan was very smart, he had him become the crown prince at an early age and hired famous teachers to guide him.
"My mother, please be assured. I have it in my mind!"
Jing Xuan answered in a serious manner, "The son will continue to study!"
"Brother is not fun at all, mother, can we go swing instead?"
Nanyan poked out her tongue at the Jing Xuan who was buried in his books, and without waiting for Yuyao's answer, she pulled her out and walked away.
"Nanyan, don't walk so fast, be careful and don't hurt yourself."
Yuyao helplessly, can only follow her out.
If Jing Xuan is mature and stable, acting like a little adult, then Nanyan is outgoing and naive, lively.
Yebei Chen is very strict with Jing Xuan, but he is very indulgent towards Nanyan, and basically meets all of her requests.
Yuyao can understand Yebei Chen's different treatment of the two children.
Jing Xuan is the crown prince, the future emperor of the Great Dynasty, so he naturally needs to be disciplined.
Nanyan is a princess, and she doesn't have so many demands. She is also the only daughter, so she must be spoiled a little.
Yuyao was just pulled out of Jing Xuan's room by Nanyan when Yebei Chen walked up to them.
Nanyan saw Yebei Chen and immediately let go of Yuyao's hand, running over to him and clinging to his leg, begging:
"Father, can you take Yanyan out of the palace to play? The palace is too boring. Yanyan wants to go out and play!"
"All right, all right, then Father will take you out to play…"
Yebei Chen looked at his daughter's face full of affection and said it out loud.
Yuyao playfully glared at him, "You just spoil her."
Yebei Chen smiled gently, immediately releasing his daughter and pulling her into his arms, whispering into her ear, "Yaoer, are you feeling jealous?"
Yuyao's face turned red, and she hit him twice in his chest with her fists, "You're talking nonsense. How could I possibly be jealous of my own daughter?"
The result is a muffled laugh from Yebei Chen and a night of turmoil.
The next day, Yuyao couldn't get out of bed at all, feeling as if her entire body had been run over by a vehicle, with every part aching severely.
She secretly cursed Yebei Chen as a beast.
At this moment, the system's voice suddenly sounded in her mind.
"Host, the first world task has been completed. Would you like to immediately go to the next world, or would you like to stay and live out your life?"
Yuyao was silent for a moment before saying, "I choose to stay and live out the rest of my life!"
The two children are still too young, and Yebei Chen is so sincere to her.
Even to the point where he dispersed the harem for her and favored her alone.
Her heart isn't made of stone, and she can't just leave without a reason.
Time flies, and the years pass like a whirlpool. Before long, both children have grown up.
Jing Xuan is now fifteen years old and has grown into a graceful young man.
However, it's because of his too cold and stern personality that he doesn't laugh or smile much, earning him the title of an ice mountain prince.
For this, Yuyao has repeatedly complained that Yebei Chen is too strict, turning a good child into a cold-faced king.
For Yuyao's complaints about his wife, Yebei Chen not only didn't think he was wrong but even felt that he had successfully nurtured a talented ruler.
The Great Dynasty in the hands of Jing Xuan will be even stronger.
This point, Yuyao had to admit, Jing Xuan's abilities were indeed impressive.
At such a young age, he has done a great job in managing the state affairs and can handle it on his own, doing as well as his father, Yebei Chen.
Nanyan also became a graceful beauty, with an appearance that captivated the whole country.
Her children, both son and daughter, were outstanding.
After seeing Jing Xuan's ability to handle the state affairs independently, Yebei Chen entrusted the whole country to him.
Then he sneaked out of the palace with Yuyao, going on a tour of mountains and rivers.
When Jing Xuan turned eighteen, Yebei Chen abdicated the throne to him.
When Jing Xuan became the new emperor, Yuyao was promoted to the title of Empress Dowager, becoming the most prestigious woman in the world.
Yebei Chen, on the other hand, became the Taishang Emperor.
Instead of living in the palace, they traveled the world, enjoying the beauty of mountains and rivers.
Yebei Chen lived to be one hundred and twenty years old, and when he was on his deathbed, he held her hand, tears in his eyes, and said, "Yaoer, if there is a next life, I want to be with you again."
"Your Majesty, it was my fortune to have met you, and if there is a next life, I also want to be with you."
Yuyao clasped his hand back, tears glistening in her eyes, but her face was smiling gently as she spoke.
Yebei Chen walked away with satisfaction, and Yuyao quietly buried herself in him, tears sliding down the corner of her eyes.
Yebei Chen loved her for his entire life and spoiled her for his entire life.
Taking her around the world to enjoy the beauty of mountains and rivers.
She could be said to be the happiest woman in the world, and she lived a very happy life.
Her heart isn't made of iron, how can she not have feelings?
"Suddenly, complete the task, I want to go to the next world!"
Yuyao wiped away her tears and said to the system.
【Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully ascending to the throne and giving birth to an heir for Yebei Chen, earning 2000 points for having a child, achieving the Queen achievement 1000 points, and receiving a reward of 2000 points.】
Yuyao heard there was an extra 2000 points reward, and she smiled happily too.
Suddenly gaining 5000 points, plus the points she had previously earned, it felt like her purse had become well-filled.
She looked at Yebei Chen, who seemed to be sleeping, with a touch of reluctance.
She then had the system detach her emotions and quickly left this world.
The Taishang Emperor and Empress Dowager loved each other for their entire lives and passed away on the same day, which was once a rare occurrence in the Great Dynasty.
Only Jing Xuan and Nanyan, both with white hair, cried so hard that they couldn't hold back their tears.
