Chapter 21: The Queen, She Wants to Become a Monk (End)

After solving Shu Jing and Princess Hui'an, Xihe put down the power of the harem, and walked around every day to accompany the Empress Dowager.

When the boy An was three years old, the Empress Dowager died, and she was very peaceful when she left, Lin Che often came to the palace of "Chen Jiao" since then, and took the boy An to play when he was fine, and the days were peaceful, but the eldest princess of Ningping was sick because of the death of the Empress Dowager, and after that, her body has not been very good, Xihe persuaded Chen's father to leave the court, and took the eldest princess to go around, look at the scenery everywhere, and scatter her heart.

The two of them went around in circles, and every three months or half a year, they sent a letter to Xihe, saying that they were fine, and the eldest princess slowly came out, and her body gradually became stronger, especially Father Chen, who lived two years longer than before.

When Xiao Zi'an was seven years old, he was named the prince, Xihe began to slowly teach him the way of king, the foundation of people, in addition to the teachings of Lin Che and various masters, Xiao Zi'an grew up very obviously, a gentle and polite humble son, what made Xihe headache was that his temperament was too simple, so when he was ten years old, Xihe took advantage of the return of Princess Ningping and Chen's father to Beijing, and threw Xiao Zi'an to them, so that they could take him to see the warmth and coldness of people and hone his temperament.

Xi He did not do this without the opposition of the ministers, after all, he was the prince of a country, but with Lin Che in front of him, no one could say anything. Without Shu Jing and Hui'an stirring up in the harem, the current harem is quite peaceful, there is no messy next resort, and there are several concubines who are pregnant one after another, but they are all princesses. After sending the boy Zi'an away, Xihe and Lin Che applied to go out of the palace to go to Futuo Temple, that is, the temple where Master Lingkong is located, to practice, on the grounds that he prayed for the blessing of the country, the emperor and the prince, so that no one hindered her, and praised her for her righteousness.

Xihe listened to the news of Chun Ran's inquiry, squinted his eyes, and was still very happy to be praised, "Sure enough, most people are still wise and knowledgeable, unlike Lin Che, I applied to pray for the country, and he was not happy." ”

Chunran rolled his eyes beside him, and didn't dare to complain about "Chen Jiao" openly, and silently discussed: "The other concubines are: Kill the queen, the queen is mine, and the emperor is mine; Hello, not only do you dislike the throne that restricts you, but you also dislike the emperor getting in the way. ”

Xihe didn't know that his little maid was talking about herself in her heart, so she asked her to hurry up and clean up the salute, and she followed her and pointed, and the clothes didn't require anything to be monk's clothes, but it would be better to be plain, and there were hair accessories, jewelry, etc., and you can't wear too glamorous, you can't take it away, Xihe regretted it for a long time, and finally thought of a way to sell things, of course, you can't sell it outside the palace, it's okay to sell it to the concubines, let the concubines come to buy it yourself, who bids high, After all, they don't have a lot of their own things.

Throw away some jewelry that does not conform to their identity, there are still a lot of things left, and there are the four treasures of the study and celebrity calligraphy and paintings, especially inkstones and calligraphy and paintings, most of which were collected by Ning Ping and Chen's father from outside the palace, as well as given by the Empress Dowager, and there was also the previous emperor who gave it, not Xi He exaggerated, most of the inkstones and calligraphy and paintings, Lin Che was not as good as hers, Xi He put it out, which made Lin Che have a big red eye.

The concubines are not very interested in these things, mainly like jewelry, and sure enough, no matter where the woman's money is, it is the best to earn. On the contrary, Lin Che can come four or five times a day, and he can't be diligent, so he wants to pull out these things from Xihe's hands, Xihe waved his palm, and the things can be given, but you have to give money, real money in exchange, otherwise you want to peech.

Of course, Xihe couldn't be so pitiful, and she gave some things as a gift, so she also made a lot of money, looking at Chunran's adoring eyes, Xihe waved his hand and threw her a gold ingot, and also gave twenty taels of silver to the minions up and down the Ganquan Palace.

Xihe is not interested in jewelry, rouge, clothes, etc., but she is a fan of money, although she doesn't pick it, but she just likes money, when she was in the heavenly realm, she often used her own things in the ethereal realm to trick people, especially those flowers and grass to sell to the little fairies in the heavenly realm, and made a lot of "black money".

After the things were sold, Xi and a group of people marched towards Futuo Temple, there was no one to worry about in the palace except Shu Jing, so Xi He didn't think about going back to the palace, Xi He let people look at Shu Jing, as long as she didn't be a demon, nothing else mattered. As for the eldest princess of Ningping, Father Chen, and the little son An, when they return to Beijing, they will also come directly to Futuo Temple.

Lin Che would come to write a letter when he was fine, Xihe never replied, and he couldn't come out of the palace, occasionally he would ask the chief manager around him to send something and visit the current situation, Xihe just said that it was good, and he sent people away in one sentence.

In the year when Xiao Zi An came back at the age of eighteen, Xi He's life span was almost at the end, Chen Jiao died at about this time in the previous life, Xi He didn't think about continuing his life or anything, just called Xiao Zi An back and asked him to take care of the eldest princess Ningping, Chen's father had passed away two years ago, accompanied by Xiao Zi'an, the eldest princess of Ningping was not so uncomfortable, Xihe was only afraid that if she left, she would not be able to think about it, let. Boy Amber take care of it more

For Lin Che, Xihe didn't inform him, but just kept the kid An by his side for half a month, handed him some aftermath, told him a lot of things, and the maids around him to stay, Xi and the four palace maids around him, two of them got married under her arrangement, only Chunran and Xia He were left, Xihe hoped to stay by his side to be an aunt in charge, and the boy An also responded one by one.

In the end, Xi He told Xiao Zi'an that after a hundred years of his own, he didn't want to be buried with Lin Che, and he didn't want to stay in the imperial mausoleum, so he let him burn his bones, and scatter the ashes where he went, if he wanted to be an emperor, he would be an emperor for the country and the people, if he didn't want to be an emperor, Xi He also left a second way for him.

On the second day of Xihe's departure, Chunran handed over a letter to Xiao Zi'an and asked him to hand it to Lin Che, which was written by Xi He, and the content was similar to that of Xiao Zi'an, that is, he didn't want to be buried in the imperial mausoleum, he didn't want to be his queen, and hoped that he could abolish his position as queen, let Xiao Zi'an take his ashes to all parts of the Dayuan Dynasty, and also explain to him, let him follow Xiao Zi'an's opinion, if he doesn't want to be the emperor, don't force it, and protect him for a lifetime.

On the fifth day of Xihe's death, Lin Che received the news, at this time the body of "Chen Jiao" had turned into ashes, after Lin Che saw the letter, he followed Xihe's last wish, abolished her throne, and ordered that her bones should not enter the imperial tomb, for Zi'an, the child, he raised him into a very perfect king.

Later generations have different opinions about this abolished queen, some say that she made a mistake and was deposed, and some say that it is because she has been trapped in the palace all her life, and she does not want to die and will be entangled with the palace for the rest of her life.
