?Chapter 366: Chapter 362: Yan Jiaojiao’s Imaginations Chapter 366: Chapter 362: Yan Jiaojiao’s Imaginations The Empress Dowager wished to leave the palace, yet the Emperor still disagreed. After all, his elderly mother was now in her seventies, not seventeen!
In Xuanyuan Country, the common folk consider sixty a ripe old age.
“Mother, the frontier is bitterly remote. You are advanced in years and can’t endure the hardships of travel by cart and boat. I truly can’t rest easy and I won’t agree to it,” he said.
The Empress Dowager replied, “It’s precisely because I’m advanced in years that I want to leave the palace and see this prosperous age’s mountains and rivers. While I can still move about, I want to look around everywhere. In a hundred years, I will then be able to tell your father the Emperor what this prosperous age’s mountains and rivers were like!”
The Empress Dowager, well advanced in years at over seventy, had accompanied the late Emperor in battles across the battlefields for most of her life. She felt that if she didn’t take the opportunity to see the prosperous age’s mountains and rivers now, she might never get another chance.
As a founding Empress, when she was young she had lived through times of utter despair when “not a single patch of idle land was to be found, yet farmers still perished of hunger.” She had seen the land riddled with a thousand scars, witnessed families destroyed and people killed, and experienced countless upheavals and bloody battles to achieve today’s peace and stability in this golden age.
She really wanted to see it!
To see the splendid beauty of the land, the peace and contentment of the people, their well-fed and well-clothed existence.
As long as this golden age was as she wished it to be, she would have no regrets in death.
Having heard what the Empress Dowager said, the Emperor could no longer bear to stop her.
“How about letting the Crown Prince administer state affairs while I, too, go out for a look?” he said.
The Empress Dowager rolled her eyes at him, giving the Emperor an eye roll, then told him to get lost!
After leaving the Cining Palace, the Emperor suddenly realized that he hadn’t left the palace for a year, and hadn’t left the Capital City for many years!
He also longed to see the peaceful and prosperous epoch he had ruled over.
