The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

Chapter 300 End of Transition

Qing Yin looked curiously at the man in the distance whose back was much more muscular and vaguely familiar, and asked uncertainly: "Duan Heng?"

"Yeah." Duan Heng turned around, and his handsome face, which was darker than before, appeared in front of Qingyin.

"Is it really you? I heard that you won the battle? Did you just come back?" The girl, who had just become a mother, chattered on and on.

"Ah."

The young man just stood there obediently, his eyes no longer as bright as before, as if his whole body had become silent, like a sword wrapped in a scabbard.

Qingyin was secretly amazed in her heart, wondering what kind of event had turned the young man into his current appearance. He looked a bit like a handsome man damaged in battle, the kind that was both handsome and pitiful. If it had been like this at the beginning, Qingyin really wouldn't mind playing with this man.

But now, she won’t do that anymore.

The girl talked for a long time, and the man listened for a long time. After a long period of time, Heng finally heard the voice in his heart saying, "How are you?"

Just a few words, and at the end the volume was almost quieter than a mosquito.

But Qing Yin also guessed what the man meant by the first few words. She raised her beautiful chin and gently touched her belly: "Well, I'm pregnant now. The imperial physician said it's twins. Your Majesty is very nervous. I'm here to see Your Majesty... Oh, your Royal Father, you have something important to do, so I'll wait for your Royal Father in the side hall first."

Qingyin, who was used to calling men's names, suddenly remembered that her husband was the man's father, and she changed her words with difficulty.

"Okay." Duan Heng smiled and walked into the Dongji Palace.

In the Dongji Hall, dragon incense was slowly burning.

Emperor Yongqing looked at the prince who had returned from the battlefield, the candidate for emperor whom he had given up, and his eyes were slightly touched. "He's back."

"Ah."

Duan Heng said respectfully.

"I know you like Concubine Xian," Emperor Yongqing said calmly, with no discernible meaning in his emotion.

Duan Heng raised his head in astonishment. He didn't know why the emperor father said this. He murmured, "Emperor father, I..."

"You don't have to say it, I understand."

"The virtuous concubine has the most moving beauty in the world. I understand that you like her."

"But Ah Heng, you are my favorite son. Concubine Xian is not only your mother, but also your savior. Do you understand?"

Through Emperor Yongqing's deep and serious eyes, Duan Heng seemed to understand something.

"I see."

Emperor Yongqing refuted him.

"No, you don't understand yet."

"My sons all have various ambitions, I know that, and I also know your actions, Duan Heng, I want you to firmly protect Concubine Xian and her child, and be by her side as a sharp knife, a sharp weapon. I want her child to ascend the throne, can you do it?"

Emperor Yongqing quietly looked at his fourth son, who seemed strange yet familiar to him. This face, which was similar to his but younger, clearly showed that he was old and no longer young. He no longer had so much time to accompany his beloved concubine and children to grow up, so he had to prepare for their future in advance.

A majestic and serious gaze fell on Duan Heng.

Duan Heng suddenly felt it was ridiculous that his father, his royal father, was asking him to take on the responsibility as a man to protect and take care of the woman who could be considered his mother.

But the person was Qingyin, so he thought it was normal.

Even his heart felt warm because of this exhortation. He was looking forward to having him in Ahua's children and future.

"Okay." Duan Heng answered without hesitation.

The two similar yet dissimilar fathers and sons reached some kind of agreement.

Duan Heng left again, but this time he was happy.

Qingyin in the side courtyard also saw from the system task list reminder that the original god's task speed had reached 90%.

Qingyin didn’t know what Duan Heng had said to the emperor, but he was almost completing the task. She was a little curious.

Emperor Yongqing walked quickly into the room and asked, "My beloved concubine, why did you come to my place in person?"

"I miss you, is that not okay?" the girl said sweetly.

Emperor Yongqing was coaxed so much that his eyebrows softened, and the look he gave Qingyin was gentler than water. "Okay, of course, I want my beloved concubine too."

In the spring of the 48th year of Yongqing, the emperor's favorite concubine, Consort Xian, gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. They were the ninth prince Duan Xi and the sixth princess Fuqi. The emperor was overjoyed and exempted taxes for three years to show his blessing for Consort Xian and the birth of the auspicious twins.

In the summer of the 56th year of Yongqing's reign, the twins had grown into lively boys and girls who could run and jump. The two gifted children inherited 70% of Qingyin's beauty, and were favored by the emperor and their mother. Also, because of their looks, there were rarely many people in the palace who looked at them with hostility.

In August of the same year, Duan Heng secretly wielded the butcher knife in the prince war, making the battle for the throne even more chaotic, with the support of Emperor Yongqing.

In December, the battle for the throne among the adult princes came to an end. The crown prince was deposed, and several adult princes were all imprisoned in the mansion, leaving only the fourth prince.

Just when everyone thought that the position of crown prince would go to the Fourth Prince, Emperor Yongqing issued an imperial decree to appoint Duan Xi as crown prince.

Everyone was shocked and some even thought that His Majesty had gone crazy. The Ninth Prince was clever, but he was still a child. Since His Majesty already had adult princes, why didn't he make the older prince the heir instead of the younger one? Wasn't he afraid of angering the grown-up Fourth Prince and causing him to harm his younger brother?

Don’t tell me, I’m really not afraid.

Since he proclaimed himself the Crown Prince, everyone discovered that the usually cold Fourth Prince actually had a genuine smile on his face. He attended court with his younger brother and was even friendly, unlike his usual cold self.

Everyone suddenly remembered what happened a few years ago. The mother of the Ninth Prince, Concubine Xian, was the savior of the Fourth Prince and a stunning beauty. The Fourth Prince fell in love with her at first sight, but unfortunately she was forcibly taken away by His Majesty and became his concubine mother.

So, this is love for the house and love for the dog?

The four princes' party stared at each other, gossiping and guessing the truth.

The leaders of their own families had all died, the Fourth Prince's party had no place to use their power, and the court became quiet.

In Qiyue Palace, Qingyin is still as stunning as before. Time has not left any trace on her delicate face, which is still so bright and charming.

The two children who inherited their mother's beauty prostrated themselves on Qingyin's knees, "Mother!"

"Hmm." Qingyin said lazily. She was basking in the rare sunshine in winter, and her interest could not be disturbed by these two naughty kids.

Emperor Yongqing looked at the mother and son happily, with a smile on his face, "My beloved concubine."

"Emperor Father, Emperor Father!"

The two children chattered about what they thought were interesting things today in front of their old father, and they didn't feel awkward at all.

The two children were basically brought up by Emperor Yongqing himself. He listened to them patiently and echoed them from time to time, which gave the two children great emotional value: "Good, very good."

Qingyin looked at the scene and sighed inwardly. If it weren't for her good genes, Emperor Yongqing would have really spoiled these two children.

As Emperor Yongqing was speaking, he suddenly coughed violently several times.

Qing Yin quickly stood up and approached Emperor Yongqing, looking worried: "Why are you coughing so badly all of a sudden?"

"Yes, Emperor Father, Emperor Father." Seeing their loving Emperor Father coughing like this, the two of them surrounded him worriedly.

"No, no, no. You must have caught a cold from the cold wind these days. You three mothers should not come over. You are weak and we don't want to pass the disease on to you." Emperor Yongqing stopped several people from approaching and explained.

"Hmph, I told you not to review so many memorials at night." Qingyin rolled her eyes at Emperor Yongqing, and that look in Emperor Yongqing's eyes also revealed infinite charm.

He chuckled, "It's okay, the imperial physician will be fine."

Her cheeks were a little red just because of the cough. Qingyin felt relieved and quickly called the imperial physician.

Emperor Yongqing was ill for three days, but he recovered eventually, though his health was much worse.

The two children had grown up a lot, and they seemed to have suddenly understood that the emperor who shielded the sky and the earth for them was also a mortal with flesh and blood, who could get sick and die.

Qingyin touched the two children comfortingly. Death is the end that every child must accept. It is the end but also a new life.

So we should learn to cherish it while we are alive.

In the 61st year of Yongqing, Emperor Yongqing died and abdicated to Crown Prince Duan Xi. The young emperor succeeded to the throne and changed the country's name to Hexing. The fourth prince Duan Heng became regent to assist the young emperor.

After becoming the emperor, Duan Xi was truly supported by his brother Duan Heng, who used all his knowledge of the position to teach his younger brother and his children.

Duan Heng is the sharpest weapon, blocking all harm to the emperor and the empress dowager and clearing the obstacles for them.

When he was young, Duan Xi didn't know why his fourth brother was so good to him. When he grew up a year older and understood love, he saw the look in his fourth brother's eyes towards his mother, and he knew it, and he hated this brother.

But feelings are developed through interaction, and Duan Xi could feel the true feelings. He suddenly understood why his fourth brother fell in love with his mother. With a woman like his mother, few men could escape the clutches of her.

But his mother didn’t have that thought, and Duan Xi pretended not to know.

Jiang Lingya, together with Lin Dahua and Lin Anxi, opened the most popular stores all over the country. The national treasury had never been so full.

Jiang Lingya even thought about sea transportation, and after Duan Xi came to power, one ship after another sailed away into the distance.

Jiang Lingya has never grown up and is obsessed with making money all her life, while Lin Dahua has met a blond-haired, blue-eyed prince from overseas who loves her so much.

Qingyin's eyes almost popped out when she saw Lin Dahua shyly walking with a blond, blue-eyed man. My goodness, her elder sister would be so amazing if she didn't look for him.

He turned out to be a handsome foreign man, but Qingyin was still satisfied, especially when she saw that the man was only stunned for a second after seeing her, and then his attention was completely focused on her elder sister. So she asked Duan Xi to arrange a marriage for the two of them.

Of course Duan Xi's expression was a little ferocious. Humph, if this foreign man who dared to kidnap his aunt was not nice to his aunt, he would break all the bones in this bastard's body.

As for Lin Anxi, she didn't want to get married and just wanted to stay with Lin Dahua. Qingyin waved her hand and built a mansion next to her sister's mansion, and opened up one side of the wall to make it convenient for Lin Anxi to visit.

As a man, if Sister An Xi wants it, she can have it.

In this life, Qingyin occasionally went out of the palace to play with her sister's mixed-race babies, and occasionally went out for a trip. But there were always a few familiar shadows on the trees just a dozen meters behind her.

Chen Che, Duan Heng...

They stood in the distance, just looking at Qingyin quietly.

By chance, Qingyinxin had the idea of going back to the old place to play again. Dongjiao County was still as lively as before.

I also met two familiar-looking people.

Meng Ziyi opened a teahouse by the river in Dongjiao County, which provides food, fishing gear and fishing opportunities.

The man, who used to be a playboy, no longer has his former high spirits. He seems to have calmed down and is quietly fishing by the river.

The clear river water was sparkling, and you could even see the small fish swimming at the bottom. Qing Yun went back to serve the new emperor, but Meng Ziyi had no intention of staying in officialdom. He stayed in the place where the person he could not reach had stayed.

It is enough to have flowers, water and fish here. Anything more would be a luxury.

The winding river flows forward, as if it has no end.

But Meng Ziyi saw clearly the woman in white sitting on the small boat in the distance. She had familiar and stunning facial features. Time had not left many traces on her, except for a hint of maturity. She sat lazily on one side of the boat, her arms leaning against the cabin, and glanced at him seductively and lightly.

Meng Ziyi stood there stupidly, not even noticing when his fishing rod was taken back into the water by a big fish. After waiting for several years, he finally met the woman who amazed everyone.

After meeting each other twice, it seemed that he had used up all the blessings from his previous lives. Meng Ziyi thought, this is great, it is probably the point where he has no regrets in life and can die on the spot.

—

In this life, Qingyin spent her life enjoying herself.

Qingyin returned to the system space, looked at the evaluation and points of the completed tasks on the system interface, and nodded with satisfaction.

Good, another big profit.

"Yinyin, you're back!" The system ran over happily with its butt twisted.

The cat's paws are plump, and it's obvious that it has not had a bad life these days.

Qingyin waved his hand, picked up a duang duang system cat and stroked it vigorously in his arms. He stroked the cat till it was intoxicated and forgot about death before he dropped the cat coldly and ruthlessly. Well, he was satisfied.

"Show me any tasks that have high points?"

The system cat shook its dizzy head and said it was dedicated to its work.

He flipped his paws clumsily, "Hey, Yinyin found one. It's a wish from an ancient woman. The task has fixed requirements and 3000 points. Yinyin, do you want to take it?"

"Answer it, why not?" If you have the money, you are a fool not to make it.

Qingyin silently encouraged herself, saying that no matter how difficult the task was, she could do it.

After a cloud of mist dissipated, a slender, delicate woman with a face as delicate as a lotus flower walked over. Her eyes were alluring, and a charming aura emanated from her, as well as a kind of obvious disgust with the world, like a corrupt yet beautiful flower.
