Chapter 4617 I Can’t Bear to Ruin Qing Yi

Since leaving the palace to travel, they have not knelt down to Yun Dai for many years out of convenience.

Yun Dai said: "Get up and listen to what I'm telling you."

Both of them were used to obeying any orders from Yun Dai. When she told them to get up, they stood up obediently.

Yun Dai looked at Bao Xing first: "Bao Xing, Guo Ning asked you to go with her, right?"

Baoxing immediately shook his head: "Queen Mother, I won't go. To me, she is just a person I met a long time ago. Other than that, there is no relationship."

"What I originally thought was that it would be impossible to let you go back to the palace, so I would leave this palace to you for your retirement. If you are willing to return to the people, I will also have a house and a village in your name. I am the one who lives in the village. I have seen them all, and they are all good. There are fields and mountains, and there are grains and fruits. The annual output, even in lean years when there is insufficient rain, is about ten thousand taels of silver, which is enough for you to support yourself in old age."

Baoxing didn't expect that the Queen Mother had secretly arranged so many things for him, and he couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat.

"Slaves don't need these things."

"You have been with me for so many years. If I can't even give you such a little arrangement, I would be so sorry for you." Yun Dai smiled gently, "Baoxing, you have many regrets in your life, I know them all. But everyone has to look forward, and don’t think about things that can’t be changed. The most important thing is to live a good life now.”

Baoxing nodded: "All slaves understand."

Yun Dai looked at Qing Yi again: "Qing Yi, although we are master and servant, I treat you as a sister. You are different from Bao Xing. I can't undo what happened to Bao Xing. But you... did it for me, I have delayed my youth forever."

Qing Yi shook his head: "Queen Mother, how could this be delayed by you? Over the years, you have made arrangements for me many times overtly and covertly. From a noble scholar who just became a Jinshi, to a young and promising official, to a wealthy family The children, even the businessmen from well-off families, are all men with good character and good looks. They know that the Queen Mother values ​​me, and they are all willing to marry me. But I don’t want any of them."

"If you didn't follow me, maybe you could meet a man who likes you."

"Empress Dowager, if I hadn't followed you, I don't know what kind of life I would have lived." Qing Yi smiled and said, "In these years, what I have eaten, what I have worn, and what I have seen have not been better than any other woman in this world? Is there anything that I have not done better than any other woman in this world?" I have no regrets in this life, I am extremely satisfied.”

Yun Dai smiled and said: "Okay, let's not mention the past. You are not too old now, and you still have many years to live. But I am reluctant to let you get married now."

In her forties, even though she still looks young and beautiful, in the eyes of the world, she cannot find a good family.

Or he is a widower whose woman has died, and he has to wait on the man to manage the house and endure a bunch of careless children.

Why bother?

Qing Yi's temperament, if truly put among the people, would be regarded as out of this world.

Yun Dai couldn't bear to ruin her.

Qing Yi said: "Master does not need to make any arrangements for the slave. I can follow the master in peace and contentment for the rest of my life."

Yun Dai smiled and said: "Why would I not want to? But...we are all our own people here, and I don't want to avoid anything. Imperial Physician Ouyang said that my days are numbered."

These words immediately made Qing Yi and Bao Xing blush.
