The shadow of Xianyuntan is long, and the stars change a few degrees of autumn.

It is still golden autumn, the chrysanthemums in the imperial city of Gusu are fragrant, the osmanthus in the palace is full of branches, and the empress dowager Qiao Huanxia ushered in her 80th birthday.

In the apse of Shoukang Palace, the Empress Dowager is holding a crutch in one hand and leaning on the fence with the other, looking at the newly ripened melon beans on the branches.

In front of the shelf set up by thin bamboo poles, there stood a white grandmother covered with frost and snow. She bent her back slightly, holding a bamboo plaque in her hand, and was collecting tender red autumn beans, and her wrinkled face was covered with furrows, but it looked unusually stretched.

Behind the Empress Dowager, standing side by side His Majesty the current Emperor Murong Peng and Empress Tang Jia'er, both of whom were sneering, were persuading the Empress Dowager to return to the palace.

Tang Jia'er ordered someone to twist the snow-white veil, cleaned her hands for the Empress Dowager, and urged with a smile: "Grandmother Huang, the eldest sister's car has entered the palace, you should go back and wait for the pair of babies A Nuan and A Cheng to kowtow to you." ”

As if to confirm Tang Jia'er's words, across the bamboo fence in the distance, a girl's voice sounded: "Grandmother Taihuang, Ah Nuan has come to see you." ”

The gold-like Jiaoyang sifted down from the green cypress and green pines in Shoukang Palace, clear and lofty, and the girl in a brocade dress under the tree had bright eyes and bright teeth, and she was holding a tender yellow brocade shawl obliquely on her shoulders, like a young bud that had just been drawn in spring, and it was Murong Wei's daughter Gu Nuan.

Gu Nuan walked a few steps, bowed down to the Empress Dowager, and then grabbed the Empress Dowager's arm coquettishly: "Grandmother the Empress, Ah Nuan hasn't been here for two years, and your body is still as tough as before." ”

"This girl is sweet-mouthed", the Empress Dowager patted Gu Nuan's little hand, and smiled so wrinkled that her face was full of wrinkles: "It's just the blessing of these vegetable fields, come and move your muscles and bones every day, speaking of which, this is still thanks to your aunt's blessing, and it was her grandmother who gave this idea." ”

Tang Jia'er smiled gracefully, although she was no longer upright as a child, she was still simple and natural: "The imperial grandmother is in good health, and it is because of your blessing that we all have it." ”

Everyone talked and laughed, and a few steps behind Gu Nuan, Gu Cheng flashed out in a water-green four-way jade pattern brocade robe. The twelve-year-old boy inherited the beauty of his parents, free and easy, and his demeanor was exceptionally handsome.

Gu Cheng knelt down on the green grass in a proper manner, saluted the Empress Dowager, and smiled at Murong Peng and Tang Jia'er, and then leaned down.

In the past, Xiao Chang, who followed Murong Peng catching golden chickens in the snow, is now the majestic and majestic father-in-law of the inner house, he hurriedly stepped forward to help the two sisters and brothers, Tang Jia'er had already shook Gu Nuan's hand and asked with concern: "Have you ever been tired along the way, my aunt has already prepared a dormitory for your sisters and brothers, do you want to go and rest first?"

Gu Nuan's mouth was slightly curled, her eyes were crooked, and her ink-painted smile was particularly intoxicating: "Uncle doesn't have to greet us, there are a bunch of guests in front of you, you better go and take a look first." ”

The wind was blowing, blowing the silk hair in front of Tang Jia'er's sideburns, and a little red tassel gently rippled in front of her forehead, and she smiled slowly: "Let me guess, could it be that your Aunt Wan and Aunt Zizhi came at the same time?"

"My aunt only guessed half right", Gu Nuanhui blinked her eyes: "Yangzhou and Huaizhou have both come, and now they are standing in the palace of the imperial grandmother, and they are going to kowtow to the imperial grandmother when they speak, and Ah Cheng and I are just one step ahead." ”

Gu Cheng was gentle and elegant, smiling and nodding in agreement with his sister's words.

The two sisters and brothers of the dragon and phoenix twins have very different personalities, Gu Nuan is more lively than Murong Wei when she was young, but Gu Cheng is more calm than Gu Chenxiao in the past. The two got together and complemented each other perfectly.

Over the years, the three countries have been good-neighborly and friendly, and have had exchanges from time to time. From the accession of Li Chenghao to the throne, the Goryeo Kingdom was inseparable from the Central Plains, and it really achieved the prosperity of the Haiyan River in the world.

Now Xixia is turning the world upside down, and it is also changing with each passing day.

Xia Ge Lao and Tang Ge are already old, and both of them are successful. The old general Xu also unloaded the burden on his body a few years ago, and the position of the secretary of the military department was heavy on Xia Yuzhi.

Since the year before the birth of the emperor's eldest grandson, Emperor Chongming officially gave way to his son, and he became the emperor with peace of mind, and Chu Yaoguang and his wife retired to Ganquan Palace, teasing their grandson all day long, happy and comfortable.

Chen Huanshan and Chen Huanzhong brothers were transferred to Beijing, Cui Yao was promoted from Yangzhou County Shou to Huaizhou Taishou, and the Chen family still firmly guarded the lifeblood of Jiangyin for Xixia.

Lishan Academy is famous in the south of the Yangtze River, and scholars and Confucian scholars flock to it, cultivating many talents for Beijing. Chen Xinhua's son Cui Duan, Chen Huanshan's sons Chen Sheng and Chen Zhen are all mainstays during this period.

Yun Yang entered the Hanlin Academy, and he started to learn with one mind, and now he is the chief scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and his disciple is fragrant with peach and plum.

Now that the Empress Dowager is celebrating her 80th birthday, everyone can finally get together again, and the excitement is comparable to the Yaochi Pan Peach Festival.

Tang Jia'er and Gu Nuan hugged the Empress Dowager and just returned to the dormitory to change her clothes, and the Empress Dowager really led a large group of people to salute.

Qin Heng had ascended the throne the year before last, and now he is the new Emperor Jian'an, he led Wen Wan, with a pair of children on his knees, both kneeling down in front of the Empress Dowager, and made a great gift to the younger generation.

Qin Ziang and Qin Zige, a pair of brothers and sisters, followed the husband and wife, the same gentle and tranquil, they followed their parents to the Empress Dowager to say goodbye, and then stood aside shyly.

In addition to a pair of pink carved sister flowers, Yun Zhi's youngest son is now only three years old, and with his parents' milky voices, he was even happier that the Empress Dowager couldn't close her mouth, and told Mama Bai to hurry up and get the gift.

Calculating the distance, Murong Hui was also on her way back to Beijing. Zida went to the border city with Tang Jia'er, and Murong Hui also took root in the border city.

She and General Xiao Li fell in love for a long time, and the two got married in the border city. Now that Li Zhifang has been transferred to Beijing, General Li has taken over his father's handsome seal and firmly defended the safety of the border city.

The pearl is rising, and under the construction of Murong Peng and Tang Jia'er, the border city has long been transformed into a new look. The border migration was officially completed, and now merchants gathered from the city of the barrier to the border city, reproducing the prosperity of the Silk Road at that time, attracting the countries of the Western Regions to come and depend, and the glory and prosperity were unprecedented.

The slightly dizzy eyes were already cloudy, and the Empress Dowager looked at the gathering of children and grandchildren in the hall with joy, thinking that she was blessed with longevity and prosperity in this life, and her eyes were slightly wet in a hazy way.

The children and grandchildren of the younger generation should be more fortunate than their parents and parents, they have not encountered wars, brothers, brothers, and fierce horses, they all have a warm and peaceful home country, and they do not have to fight for survival.

Murong Peng's generation is now the mainstay, and their next generation, who shoulder the hope of the future of the world, is now all in this hall.

The Empress Dowager looked at these young faces like flowers and bones, and suddenly wanted to open the conversation. She summoned Gu Nuan, Gu Cheng, Qin Ziang and Qin Zige, the younger generation, to come forward and start telling a long story.

From the beginning of her fighting the world with the first emperor, Xia Lao Taijun and others, until after several generations of efforts, now the world has finally been leveled, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

The old page is turned over again, and the new history is rewritten. The Empress Dowager saw a more genuine hope in the eyes of these young people. Staring at the evergreen pines and cypresses outside the hall, she closed her eyes with relief.
