Concubine, she is so charming

Chapter 490 Extra: If there is an afterlife

After the crown prince ascended the throne, Ning Chen took Ye Yun to live in Lingxi Garden.

All the other concubines in the harem became concubines, none of them were brought along.

Ning Chen was only in his 40s when he abdicated, and he was still in his prime, so although he retired to the second line, he didn't completely ignore his affairs.

Of course, it's not that he is not denying authority to his son, it's just that Ning Yujing always comes to ask for advice when he has many uncertainties.

Unlike Ning Chen who still loves to worry, Ye Yun enjoys retirement life wholeheartedly.

The flower arranging and incense burning that I learned in my boudoir have been reworked.

She liked to plant some flowers and plants in the yard, and now the house is filled with all kinds of vases, making Ning Chen feel like he is living in a flower garden several times.

One time I couldn't help it, so I said tactfully, "Is there too many flowers in our bedroom?"

"It's just such a small hobby, why don't you take it away?" Ye Yun saw through his small thoughts at a glance, and rolled his eyes very bluntly, "I didn't say that you kept a yard full of pigeons."

After Ning Chen was free, he suddenly became interested in raising birds. He especially liked pigeons. He raised a bunch of gray and white ones, and some of the ones he liked were named, and a separate yard was set up for pigeon coops.

As soon as the cage was opened in the morning, the Lingxi Garden where the pigeons flew was everywhere.

Especially at the Crescent Moon Bridge where the sun is the best, there are always pigeons parked on the bridge. It looks good from a distance, but it is not good when you get close.

Birds are creatures with a rectal gut, and everyone knows them.

But the servants who work hard to clean up the pigeon dung every day.

Ning Chen touched his nose in embarrassment and laughed twice.

"Where is Qingqing, I want to say that the room is full of flowers, which are so beautiful and fragrant. It smells better than incense."

"That's natural, and I don't want to see whose craftsmanship it is." Ye Yun raised his eyebrows.

Satisfied with someone's understanding.

It's just that her enthusiasm for flower arranging didn't last long. After autumn, the flowers gradually disappeared, and there was nothing to fiddle with. She turned her eyes and stared at the lake in Lingxi Garden again.

The lonely boat Yukao Kazane and the snow of the Kangare Kanoe.

What a beautiful mood, how can retirement life be less fishing.

This idea got Ning Chen's approval.

So, early the next morning, the two of them took their fishing rods, boarded a boat, and went to the center of the lake.

But Ye Yun's technique is typical and addictive.

It would be nice to catch two in half a day.

But Ning Chen is a master, he filled a bucket in less than an hour.

At first, Ye Yun comforted himself by saying that he would catch up later, but when he found that he couldn't catch up, he was completely annoyed.

Ning Chen felt amused in his heart, thinking that this woman is still a child at this age, so he started to make fun of her.

It was obvious that some fish had been hooked, but he didn't pull the rod either.

"I see that today's fish are not easy to catch, and there are not many of them."

"Yes, yes, maybe the lake is so big that the fish are too scattered." Ye Yun nodded solemnly.

Ning Chen held back a smile and stood up, "How about going to appreciate the chrysanthemums? There are still two jars of chrysanthemum wine left for the Double Ninth Festival, let's drink them out today."

"Okay, why not just put the lunch in the chrysanthemum garden." Ye Yun curled his lips.

So I put the fishing rod, dangled and went elsewhere.

Such a pleasant afternoon is not rare nowadays, but it is still full of joy.

In the sea of ​​flowers, toasting to drink, there are actually picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely discovering the elegance of Nanshan.

After drinking, go back to the palace.

When they reached Jiaotang Garden, Ye Yun went in to have a look.

It's the place where I used to live, but I still have some memories.

Coming out of Jiaotang Garden, Ye Yun suddenly stopped moving.

"What's wrong?" Ning Chen turned around.

"I was thinking, you can still hug me now."

The woman smiled and tilted her head slightly to look at him.

Ning Chen was slightly taken aback, and then smiled too.

"I can hug you even at the age of 60, come here."

"No, I want you to carry me on my back, not today." Ye Yun stretched out his hand.

"it is good."

Ning Chen didn't hesitate at all, walked over and bent over.

In the warm afternoon sun, the autumn wind was blowing, the emperor carried his queen on his back, stepping back step by step under the tiny light and shadow that shone through the leaves.

Some servants watched from afar and whispered, the emperor and queen mother are as close as ordinary couples.

For the rest of their lives, both of them lived such a comfortable life.

That's what it's like to stay with the one you love.

But no matter how long they stay together, there will be an end one day. When Ye Yun, whose hair was all gray, was lying on the couch, Ning Chen felt like a knife was twisting his heart.

"Ning Chen, don't be sad. I am very happy to meet you in this life. We have three children, and we have only each other in our old age. I am content."

Ye Yun reached out and stroked the man's cheek, gently wiping away the moisture from the corner of his eyes.

"But I always feel that I owe you too much. I don't believe in ghosts and gods, but there is only you. I hope to have an afterlife. You and I are a couple for the rest of our lives. That's enough." Ning Chen's voice was hoarse.

Their eyes intertwined, full of reluctance.

Ye Yun nodded with tears in her eyes.

The three children guarding the couch were even more reluctant.

One by one, they called to come forward for a hug, and told them a lot.

The children knew that this last time should be left to their parents, so they all went out obediently.

"Ning Chen, you can hug me." Ye Yun said softly.

When she was young, she entered the palace alone, and now she doesn't want to leave alone like this again.

Ning Chen nodded, and hugged him into his arms. After a while, the hand on his shoulder slipped down. At this moment, he couldn't bear it anymore, and cried out heart-piercingly.

The three children outside the hall heard their father's cry and knew that their mother had left, so they burst into tears.

Ye Yun's funeral was unprecedentedly grand, and the whole country mourned.

Ning Chen took care of everything himself, fell ill after the funeral, and was ill for half a year.

Fortunately, it was the three children who stayed by the couch day in and day out to take care of the sick, which made him recover slowly.

Ning Yujing originally wanted to take his father back to live in the palace so that he could take care of him, but Ning Chen refused, and he wanted to stay in the Lingxi Garden with only him and Ye Yun.

After recovering from illness, Ning Chen took a walk every day.

The servants all know that the Supreme Emperor is to do all the things that the Queen Mother has walked and done during her lifetime.

However, this actually did not reduce the grief and longing in Ning Chen's heart.

Two years after Ye Yun's death, Ning Chen finally followed her.

The children knew that their father had suffered for a long time. Although they were grieved, they also hoped that their parents could meet in Jiuquan, so they arranged the funeral ceremony as soon as possible and let them be buried together.

20 years later.

A university campus.

Ye Yun sat next to the poster in the freshman report office, spinning his pen in boredom.

The Department of Archeology is really deserted. After sitting for two days, it only reported eight new students.

If that person hadn't said that he would definitely come, she wouldn't have chosen this department back then.

While he was in a daze, he heard the sound of suitcases rolling on the ground.

Looking up, it was the familiar face that caught my eyes. Although she changed her attire, her eyes remained the same as before.

Ye Yun was slightly stunned, then tilted his head and smiled, "Hello, junior, sign here for the report."

Looking at the person in front of him, Ning Chen also laughed out loud, raised his eyebrows slightly, "Sister let me find it easier."

"Tsk, what do you mean by that? You knew me before?" Ye Yun said deliberately.

"Well, as soon as I saw my senior, I already thought about how to name the child." Ning Chen blinked.

Ye Yun snorted, "Don't think too early, I'm hard to chase, this time it won't be easy."

"Then let's chase slowly, I've been waiting for 20 years, I'm not in a hurry." Ning Chen raised the corners of his lips, bent down and wrote his name on the registration form, "So, why don't you treat senior sister to dinner first? "

"Well, then I'll give you a chance." Ye Yun held back a smile, looked into his eyes and stretched out his hand.

Ning Chen also laughed, and held him back without hesitation.

For a moment, the lovesickness in his heart surged out, and he almost lost his composure, but fortunately, he finally found her again.

In this life, he will regard her as a treasure and protect her with his life.
