Chapter 480: Afterword
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Many years later, Noble Consort Ji, who was still famous, came to the Third Prince’s Residence angrily and refused to return to the palace no matter what.
Rong Yan, who had already been conferred the title of king, couldn’t get the reason after asking for a long time. Noble Consort Ji was the one who vomited from anger. Xiaoxiao had an idea and looked at her lower abdomen. Only then did she say with a red face, “I’m pregnant…”
Xiaoxiao was first delighted before she tilted her head. “Huh?”
Noble Consort Ji decided not to hide it anymore. “He wasn’t poisoned by the Empress at all! He lied to me!”
Xiaoxiao and Rong Yan, who had long guessed it, looked at each other and smiled. They coaxed her to eat and take an afternoon nap. In the house, the nanny helplessly fanned Noble Consort Ji and listened to her complaints.
“…He’s not a good person! He said that he was taking care of me for his brother, but in fact, it was for the former dynasty’s treasury in my hands in the beginning!”
The nanny sighed. “You said that was the beginning. Besides, didn’t you say that you forgave His Majesty?”
Noble Consort Ji was dissatisfied. “Isn’t that because… because I wanted to kill him too…”
Perhaps realizing that she had gone overboard, Noble Consort Ji’s voice became softer and softer. “We can’t let him know about this!”
The nanny nodded heavily. “Don’t worry, Your Highness. I’ll bring this secret into the coffin!”
As they were talking, a message came from outside that His Majesty had arrived. Noble Consort Ji immediately pulled the blanket and covered her head. “I won’t see him!”
Who could stop the Emperor from coming? After asking the nanny to leave, the couple muttered in the room for a while. When they met again, they had already reconciled.
Outside the house, the nanny and Eunuch De also exchanged tacit glances. Their smiles were helpless and relieved.
Eunuch De suddenly said something that seemed to come out of nowhere.
“Actually, His Majesty is a good master.”
The nanny nodded. “Yes. Fortunately, the medicine was changed.”
“It’s really not His Majesty?”
Eunuch De shook his head. “No.”
The two of them made a sealing gesture at the same time and quietly became door gods.
No one knew when the Emperor and Noble Consort Ji had fallen for each other. Or perhaps, they didn’t know either.
Anyway, after they exchanged their feelings, they all had a strange feeling that their regrets had been made up for. It was as if they had missed a lot and made a lot of mistakes.
The Emperor’s eldest grandson gradually grew up. He looked very much like his father and the former Emperor Wen. The Emperor brought him along and personally raised him with Noble Consort Ji.
He was not particularly smart, but he was kind and reasonable. He did not know the story of the Crown Prince, the former Empress, and the Yan Family, but he had learned a lot about being a good person. What he read most in the introductory books were gifts from his Third Aunt.
The Ning Family had settled down in the capital, and Ning Fengnian had planted more and more land. Now, anyone who saw him would call him “Master Ning”. The Emperor had conferred him an official position, the kind that had an official position but no real power. He did not have to participate in the court. He just had to farm in peace.
Ning Ansheng became another famous top scholar after Lu Chen. Not only was he good at studying, but he also pushed out many policies that benefited the country and the people. He became the most popular government official among the commoners. 10 years later, he became a first-rank official and was conferred the title of Prime Minister. He brought glory to his ancestors and never changed his original intention.
Ning Anhui continued to be his shopkeeper. He opened shop after shop, but every shop was good and cheap. They received rave reviews. He and his wife had a pair of intelligent children. They were happy. They grew old together.
Year after year, not only did Xiongnu and the Southern Barbarians not become restless, but they even obediently submitted to Great Xia as it prospered day by day, especially the new king of Xiongnu, Chernan.
According to him, he was very surprised to obtain this throne. He was even a little puzzled.
He had always felt that he was the most hated among the commoners. He did not expect that the decisive advantage that supported him as king in the end was actually the commoners. After a long period of introspection, he decided to buy more seeds and farming books from Great Xia.
To the outside world, he said that Great Xia was too powerful now and that Xiongnu still had to prepare for a few more years.
In the depths of his heart, he was thinking: Attack Great Xia? Whoever wants to go, just go. But, I won’t go.
The Southern Barbarian King was not as wise as Chernan, so he was replaced.
The new Southern Barbarian King did not like fighting and killing. He liked to study medicinal herbs and Miss Furong, whom he had seen when he went to Great Xia. However, Miss Furong did not like him. She liked an expressionless doctor in Great Xia. She said that she felt that a doctor who could treat illnesses and save people was much more powerful than an evil person who only knew how to poison people.
The Southern Barbarian King fell into deep thought…
New rice seeds finally spread throughout the world, from Great Xia to Xiongnu, to the southern border, to every corner of the world that needed it.
Happiness bloomed all over the world and in everyone’s hearts.
The End..
