Chapter 270 Fu Cha Lang Ya. 42
In this life, Hongli abdicated early and passed the throne to Yonglian, then he lived a retirement life with Langya.
After Yonglian came to power, he devoted himself to implementing his father's goals and moved forward with great energy.
After abandoning their two sons, the two parents started wandering around outside.
Now that the whole country has been paved with cement, horse-drawn carriages can run more smoothly, so they travel all over the country.
There were even many times when Yonglian couldn't contact them even if he wanted to. He could only receive their letters from time to time and knew that they were safe and sound.
Finally, the people who had wandered for most of their lives came back. Langya and Hongli were already gray-haired when they came back.
Over the years, except for their son's wedding, the couple never came back. Gao Xiyue worked for Hongli for half her life, and later met a man in the office and fell in love with him.
The other party was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in the imperial court and had a good family background. More importantly, he was open-minded and could accept Gao Xiyue's identity.
Therefore, Hongli let her leave the palace, but still kept the position of principal of the girls' school for her.
Hongli already felt that his life was fulfilled. He had walked such a long way with Langya hand in hand, and now, he had no regrets in his heart.
The only pity is that human life is too short, so short that it seems like the two of them have reached the end in the blink of an eye.
Hongli was very happy when he saw the train was built. He had accomplished so many things in his life and he had fulfilled his long-cherished wish.
The two of them traveled all over the Qing Dynasty, and when they came back, Yonglian and Yongcong were extremely happy.
One of the two people was the emperor, and the other was a prince. They stood at the gate of the imperial city, looking forward to it. Yongcong stood on tiptoe and looked around from time to time. Yonglian, who was standing beside him, looked at him helplessly: "Yongcong, it should be time now, don't worry."
"Oh! I'm not anxious at all! It's been a long time since I last saw my father and mother, so I'm anxious!"
He still had the sincerity of his childhood. Yonglian was the eldest son and became emperor, so Yongcong was his best assistant.
The so-called Brother Ni Qiang incident never happened between the two of them. One of them played the good cop and the other played the bad cop, and they were like fish in water in the court.
Langya held Hongli's hand, looked at him and said with a smile: "I wonder what happened to those two boys. I haven't seen them for several years."
Hongli leaned against the carriage casually and said with a smile: "Didn't we come to see our grandson when he was born? We stayed for half a year."
Langya squeezed his arm and said, "Humph."
Hongli smiled and hugged her, and the two of them walked into the city slowly and leisurely without any hurry.
When she got off the car and saw Yonglian and Yongcong, she was surprised to realize that her longing for them had already burst out. She smiled as she watched the two brothers come over and kneel down to pay their respects.
"My son pays respects to my father and mother!"
"Long live the Supreme Emperor, and a thousand years and a thousand years of live the Empress Dowager!"
Hongli and Langya looked at the people in front of them and smiled as they told them to get up.
Reaching out his hand and patting the person in front of him, Hongli said with a big smile: "Good boy, you have grown so big!"
Yonglian, who is now almost fifty years old, looks at him, while Hongli is now nearly seventy years old.
Thinking that they have been away for a long time, the two now want to come back to see their children and grandchildren.
Yonglian respectfully sent Hongli and Langya back to the Yangxin Palace. Yonglian and Empress Niuhulu brought their children to the Yangxin Palace to see them.
Hongli patted his eldest grandson on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, you have grown up so much."
Langya also looked at her grandchildren with a smile on her face. Each one of them was smart and well-behaved, and really adorable.
Yonglian and Niuhulu looked at them expectantly: "Father, mother, you won't leave this time."
Yonglian was so nervous. His father and mother were so old now, and he would be worried every time they went out.
Whenever I have free time, I always wonder whether it is convenient and safe to be outside.
For other people, it is the mother who worries about the child, but in their family, it is the other way around. Who can they complain to?
It is true that he is the emperor, but there is an emperor’s father above him!
Looking at her eldest son who was no longer young, Lang Ya smiled and said, "We won't leave this time. We are too old to walk anymore."
"Really?!" Yonglian was overjoyed and clapped his hands excitedly: "Then this matter is a deal, mother and mother please don't go back on your word again!"
"What a promising future!" Hongli blew his beard and glared, scolding his son who was so unstable even though he was an old man.
While a few people were talking, Yongcong also came over with his wife and daughter.
The family had dinner in the Yangxin Palace and talked for a long time before leaving with peace of mind.
Langya held Hongli's hand and returned to the long-missed imperial city. They still did not feel any strangeness. They just felt that their children had grown up one by one, and in another year or two, they would all have great-grandchildren.
Hongli has been taking care of his health since he was young. Now that he is old, he is still quite strong. However, Langya is getting weaker and weaker.
After just walking a little further, Langya felt uncomfortable, so Hongli quickly helped her into the house to rest.
Since they knew that the Emperor and Empress Dowager had returned, Gao Xiyue and Wei Yanwan were so happy! The next day, they rushed into the palace and came to pay their respects to the two of them.
"Your Highness pays respects to the Emperor, and to the Empress Dowager."
Langya smiled kindly: "You are here."
Gao Xiyue spoke first: "You are finally back, Queen Mother. I don't know how many years I have been waiting for you. You will not leave this time, right?"
Langya nodded: "Alas, I am old and can't walk anymore. I have nothing to do in the palace on weekdays, so you can come in and keep me company."
Wei Yanwan: "If the Empress Dowager invites us, we will come anytime. I just hope that the Empress Dowager will not be annoyed by our noise."
Each of them is a grandmother now, and they recall their ordinary days, picking out the details one by one, and Hongli has been forgotten in the corners.
But what I didn't expect was that Langya's health deteriorated only five years after she came back. She felt cold all day long, and her favorite thing to do was to sit on a soft couch in the yard and bask in the sun.
Mozhu combed her hair and became a nanny. Lianxin was familiar with the imperial guards, so Langya let her go long ago.
Now the couple lives a colorful life, and her husband is highly valued by Yonglian.
It was another spring day. Langya was basking in the sun in the yard. Hongli hugged her and said with a smile, "I can't even hold you anymore."
"You've been unable to hold me for a long time, but you're just being stubborn."
The two people lay in each other's arms, reminiscing about their past.
"The sky is so beautiful today." Hongli nodded, "Yes, just like the day of the talent show."
Hongli kept talking for a long time, but his wife didn't answer. He patted her back and murmured, "Go to sleep..."
The news of the Empress Dowager's death spread throughout the Qing Dynasty. In the same year, the Emperor Retired also passed away.
