When Yunqing abdicated, he took Yuxi back to the northwest. That time they stayed in pickaxe city for ten days, then they rushed to Yucheng. I didnât expect to step here again. It was more than 30 years later. How time flies!
Looking at the four big words of âPingxi Palaceâ on the plaque, Yuxi sighed and said, âitâs really a matter of fact and a person.â
Qiyou supported her and said, âMom, letâs go in and have a look!â Here is where he grew up, so his feelings are very different. Even if left for decades, there is still a memorial here.
In those days, people came in and out of this place. But now, it is cold and clear.
Around the main hall, Qiyou looked at the bare yard and asked, âwhere is the old big tree here?â
âThe steward said:â the tree was eaten by termites, and was blown down by a strong wind three years ago
Qiyou has some regrets. If they live here all the time, there will be a special person to check the flowers and trees every year. Today, there are only 20 servants left in Pingxi palace to take charge of the daily cleaning work, and they have no time to care about it.
After settling in Yuxi, Qiyou went to the courtyard where he used to live and turned around. The layout of the house basically remained unchanged. However, there are no flowers, plants and trees in the yard.
At dinner in the evening, Qiyou said: âNiang, this house is in a lot of dilapidation now. Mother, if this house is left empty, it will fall down sooner or later. â
âWho do you want to live in?â Except for the cloud family, no one else has the courage to live in.
Qi you didnât think so much, so he said it casually. Pingxi palace is where they live. Only the vassals can live. No one else is qualified to live.
Yuxi didnât comment on this.
After two days off, Qixuan asked Yuxi, âNiang, when shall we go to Yucheng?â Itâs June now. Itâs getting hotter. If you want to go to Yucheng, you have to go as early as possible. If not, we will not be able to get back to the capital before winter.
Yuxi shook his head and said, âI wonât go to Yucheng. This time, I will stay in the palace for more time. â She didnât care much about Yucheng. She spent more than three years in Yucheng. And those years are not good memories.
The two brothers have no objection. They are mainly accompanying Yu Xiâs distraction, and has the final say to Na Yuxi.
Yuxi said, âif I were not old, I would like to go to Huashan again.â She and Yunqing went to Huashan once, when they were both healthy and climbed up by themselves. In the evening, I spent a night on the mountain. The next day, watching the sun rise, I feel very good.
Thinking of Yunqing, Yuxi looks gloomy. Unconsciously, the old man has left her for half a year.
Looking at Yuxiâs look, Qiyou quickly changed the topic: âNiang, letâs eat lamb at noon! The mutton bubble in Beijing is not as delicious as it is here. â
âYour father always says that the mutton in the capital is not as delicious as that in Yucheng,â Yuxi said with a smile Even if the sheep were sent by Yucheng, he didnât think it was delicious.
In fact, it is not that the meat is not delicious, but that there is no atmosphere and mood when eating.
Of course, itâs also a reason why we eat so many good things and our mouths become tricky.
Qixuan said, âI havenât eaten roast whole sheep for a long time. Mother, Iâd like to have a whole plate of roast mutton at noon. â I remember the first time I ate the lamb baked by my father. I really think there is no more delicious food in the world. Itâs a pity that now itâs only in my memory and I canât eat any more.
Qiyou doesnât want to: âto eat roast lamb, letâs go to Fortune Restaurant to eat it! Itâs tasteless at home. â Fuyun restaurant has branches in every provincial capital, even in some particularly wealthy states.
Because of this, the annual profit of Fortune Restaurant is amazing.
âGo to Fortune Restaurant!â The cook with me is very good at cooking, especially the vegetables. But roast the whole sheep, he canât do it very well.
Qiyou said with a smile, âMom, what do you want to eat? Iâll let someone go first.â Itâs OK to wait there. Anyway, they have plenty of time. But if you donât book in advance, some dishes will be gone.
âYuxi said:â Lianpeng chicken, stir fried lotus root, and then order a stir
Just as he was talking, he heard the reply from the guard that Cao Ren, the governor of Shaanxi Province, asked for an interview.
Yuxi is impatient to see the minister below, and says to Qiyou, âgo and greet him!â Since the ministers knew that they had come to pick City, they could not have stopped visiting.
Qiyou said with a bitter face, âOK!â He was impatient to deal with the officials. But there is no other suitable person here besides him.
He exchanged greetings with the political emissary for a long time before sending them away. When I got back to the backyard, I heard that Yuxi had stopped.
Qi you said, âthree elder brothers, letâs go out and have a look!â He canât bear it, not to mention that he canât stay in the house.
Qixuan hesitated and said, âwe will go out with her without waiting for her to wake up.â I left my mother alone in the mansion. Their brothers ran out to eat, drink and have fun. Qixuan was upset.
Qiyou said with a smile: âyou donât know your motherâs temperament? Sheâll find something to do if she doesnât see us. â
Qixuan finally went out with Qiyou.
Yuxi wakes up, hears two brothers go out to smile, then asked Bing Mei: âChen Xuanâs matter, have you written down?â
Bingmei nodded: âitâs all written down. Empress dowager, will she still use her original name to make up the story? â
Yuxi took a look at Bingmei and said, âit must be a pseudonym, and the background must be changed, so that no one can see her identity.â With the real name and surname, the girls who spread to the Chen family in the future will not marry. They will all die at home.
Bingmei smiled: âEmpress Dowager is wise.â
In the evening, Qiyou brings Yuxi back two cages of soup pours: âNiang, itâs still hot. Hurry to eat.â Itâs not delicious when itâs cold.
Yuxi didnât eat any more after eating two soup pouches. Other rewards were given to the people around him.
In addition to two soup pouches, Yuxi also had a bowl of rice congee, a dish of stir fried cucumber and a dish of stir fried cabbage.
After 60 years old, Yuxi had porridge in the morning and in the evening. But in the morning, you should be a little more abundant. Sometimes you will drink goatâs milk, eggs or chicken soup. But in the evening, they only drink porridge and eat vegetables. However, she has a medical meal every day.
After Yuxi finished eating, Qiyou said with admiration, âMom, I really admire you.â Itâs not everyone who can keep eating so light for decades.

Yuxi said, âyou donât listen to me now. You can eat light food. In two years, you will find all kinds of problems. Then you will regret it.â
This yearâs 87 year old Yuxi, the reason why she is not deaf, deaf and healthy, has a lot to do with her insistence on light diet and exercise these years. It can be said that Qi Haoâs body is not as good as hers.
Qiyou shook his head and said, âno more.â He would rather live a few years less than eat insipid food every day. Itâs not good to eat and drink. Itâs not interesting to live.
When walking in the yard, Yuxi said, âtomorrow, we will go to Caotang temple for a walk.â
Qiyou is frightened: âNiang, you want to go to Caotang temple?â Itâs not that heâs making a fuss, but that Yuxi has never been to a temple.
Yuxi smiled and said, ânot to burn incense and worship Buddha, but to see the eight treasures Jade Pagoda.â
The tower is said to be made of jade from the western regions. The jade is bright and lustrous. Every piece of jade is different. Yuxi has lived in pickaxe city for nearly 20 years, but he has never been to tobacco temple. Last time I came to the Northwest with Yunqing, I was also in a hurry. This time, Yuxi wants to see it.
The next day, before dawn, the mother and the son set out. On the way, I met many people who went to the tobacco temple. Some of these people go to burn incense and worship Buddha, and some go to play.
When he arrived at the tobacco temple, Yuxi got off the carriage and saw many young men and women. These young people are all with their elders.
Qiyou said, âNiang, shall we first burn incense and worship Buddha, or shall we first see pagoda and lying stone?â Itâs said that there is a big stone in the well of the tobacco temple. Every snake lies on the stone, and there is often white fog rising to the sky and winding around the pickaxe city of the imperial capital. So this bedroom is also a view of the temple.
âYuxi chuckles:â look at the pagoda A stone. What can I see.
After watching the Jade Pagoda and seeing that it was still early for lunch, Yuxi went to the back mountain to walk around. This time, Qixuan and Qiyou didnât follow, but went to the temple.
Yuxi picked up a quiet place to go, but it became more and more remote. He didnât know where he was when he got to the back.
Just as they were about to turn around and go back, they heard a weeping sound.
A clear and soft voice said: ânine niangs, you go with me!â
The woman cried and said, âif I go with you, what can my parents do? LiLang, I canât be so selfish. â
Yuxi shook his head helplessly. Itâs strange that she didnât let the eunuch count the days when she went out this time. Itâs not good to go out. If not, it wonât always happen.
The man said in a cold voice, âif they really hurt you, they would not give you to Cao Ren as a concubine. Nine niangs, if you donât walk with me, will you become a concubine for Cao Ren? â
Yuxi Yi, the political envoy called Cao Ren. I donât know if Cao Ren is the one they said. If it were Cao Ren, it would have to be managed.
The woman cried, âLiLang, IâŠâŠâ She really canât make up her mind to elope.
Yuxi turns around and goes back.
Unable to hear their voices again, Yuxi said to Yuzhi, âletâs check their identities. In addition, take a good look at Cao Ren. â The people around her who served, either left or were not in good health, retreated. Itâs Yu Zhi, who has been working with her in good health.
Yu Zhi nodded and said, âOK.â
On the way, I met Qi you and Qi Xuan, who were looking for her. See two people a face to be afraid of appearance, jade Xi smile way: âwhat is this? I just walked two steps in the back mountain, but I canât lose it. â
Qiyou said: âNiang, there are poisonous snakes in the mountain. Just now, I heard that some people were bitten by vipers playing in the back mountain. â
âIf they are there, vipers are not afraid.â Finish saying, jade Xi asks a way: âbe bitten by poisonous snake, if do not detoxify in time, can have life danger.â
Qiyou said: âthe monks in the temple have poisoned them and prescribed medicine. Now itâs OK.â
Kai Xuan added a sentence: âoriginally I wanted to give them antidote pills, but it didnât work.â When I went out, I brought not only Taiyi, but also many herbs and precious pills.
At noon, there are six vegetarian dishes and one soup, which are luohanzhai, tofu steamed egg, jadeite jade roll, sweet and sour lotus root chops, five treasures fresh vegetables, vegetarian meat, and mushroom soup.
Qiyou took two mouthfuls and said, âthe house of bilingshan Temple
