Tang Yinyu and Chu Yuqin smiled at each other and walked into the teahouse together.

The teahouse is filled with a faint tea fragrance, and the fresh atmosphere makes people feel relaxed and happy.

They found a seat by the window and sat down, their movements gentle and graceful.

After a while, the teahouse owner came over with a pot of steaming tea.

The boss is a kind old man who is dressed in traditional clothes and has a warm smile on his face.

"Dear guests, this is our local specialty tea, please try it." The boss said as he poured tea for them.

Chu Yuqin gently picked up the teacup, put it to her nose and sniffed it, and a rich tea aroma filled her nose.

"What a nice smell." She exclaimed. Tang Yinyu also picked up the teacup and took a sip. The mellow taste spread in his mouth, making him nod slightly.

“It tastes very good.”

While drinking tea, they listened to the teahouse owner telling the history and legends of the village.

The boss's voice was low and magnetic, as if taking them into a mysterious world.

"Our village has a long history. It is said that a long, long time ago, this was the residence of an immortal..." The boss told the story slowly, with memories gleaming in his eyes.

Chu Yuqin listened intently, her eyes wide open, full of curiosity. "Really? What happened next?" She asked impatiently.

The boss smiled and continued, "Later, the immortal left, but he left behind many magical legends. Our village has also preserved ancient traditions and customs."

Tang Yinyu listened quietly, his heart filled with emotion.

"This village is really full of mystery," he said.

They spent a pleasant time in the teahouse. The faint tea fragrance and mysterious legend seemed to have left a deep impression in their hearts.

When they left the teahouse, their hearts were still filled with nostalgia and curiosity about this ancient village.

Chu Yuqin and Tang Yinyu went through a long journey, traveled all over the country, and experienced countless beautiful scenery and customs.

Now, they finally returned to the palace.

The palace is still majestic and magnificent, with red walls and yellow tiles shining in the sun.

Chu Yuqin looked at the familiar palace, a complex emotion welling up in her heart.

Here are her memories, her concerns, and her responsibilities.

Tang Yinyu held Chu Yuqin's hand tightly, giving her strength and comfort.

They walked into the palace together, feeling the long-lost solemnity and majesty.

At this time, under the governance of the new emperor Tang Ruixuan, Dongyue State became more prosperous. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the country was prosperous. When the new emperor learned that his mother and the emperor had returned to the palace, he immediately came to pay a visit.

Tang Ruixuan came to see his mother and the emperor when he learned that they had returned to the palace. He was dressed in a dragon robe and looked very imposing. He walked quickly to Chu Yuqin and bowed respectfully. "Your son greets the queen mother and the emperor."

Chu Yuqin looked at her son with a smile, her eyes full of relief: "No need to be polite, my son."

The mother and son sat down, and the atmosphere around them was peaceful and warm.

Chu Yuqin looked at her son Tang Ruixuan, who had grown into the king of a country, with her eyes full of satisfaction and expectation.

Tang Ruixuan straightened his back slightly and began to solemnly talk about his experience and achievements in governing the country.

"Mother, since I ascended the throne, I have never forgotten your teachings and instructions. In governing the country, I first attach importance to agricultural development, sending officials to various places to guide the people in farming, building water conservancy projects, and ensuring irrigation of farmland. Now, crops are growing well in various places, and the people's granaries are full, so they no longer have to worry about food and clothing."

There was a gleam of pride in his eyes, as if he was showing his mother the results of his hard work.

Chu Yuqin nodded slightly, encouraging him to continue.

Tang Ruixuan continued, "In terms of business, I have lowered commercial taxes and encouraged trade. Today, the markets in Dongyue are bustling with a wide variety of goods. This not only meets the needs of the people at home, but also attracts merchants from neighboring countries to trade. The country's wealth is also growing."

There was confidence in his voice and he was clearly satisfied with his decision.

"Furthermore, I have focused on cultivating talents. I have opened many schools and selected talented students to serve as officials, injecting new vitality into the development of the country. Those with real talents and knowledge have been given important positions, and they have also served the country and the people wholeheartedly."

Tang Ruixuan's face was filled with joy. He knew that talent was the key to national development.

"Also, mother, I have strengthened the army. I have trained a disciplined and powerful army to protect the country's security. The neighboring countries see how powerful we are and dare not invade easily."

His eyes were firm and resolute, showing the majesty of a king.

Chu Yuqin listened quietly to her son's story, her heart filled with emotion and pride.

She knew that her son had become an excellent monarch who could lead the Dongyue Kingdom to a more prosperous future.

……

When Chu Yuqin was fifty years old, her peaceful days were broken by a sudden illness.

That day, the sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves into the palace garden, creating patches of mottled light and shadows.

Chu Yuqin was wearing a light blue long dress, the hem of which fluttered gently with her steps.

With a gentle smile on her face, she was walking slowly in the garden, admiring the blooming flowers and tender green leaves.

Suddenly, Chu Yuqin felt dizzy and the whole world seemed to be spinning.

Her body shook involuntarily for a few times, and her face turned pale instantly. The maids beside her panicked and rushed forward to support her.

"Empress! What's wrong with you?" a maid asked anxiously, her voice full of worry.

Chu Yuqin wanted to speak, but her throat felt dry and she couldn't make a sound. Her vision began to blur and she could only lean weakly on the maid.

Soon, Chu Yuqin was rushed back to the bedroom with the help of her maids.

Along the way, the maids looked flustered and walked hurriedly, fearing that they would be delayed for a moment.

Chu Yuqin leaned weakly on the maid, her eyes revealing a hint of confusion and pain.

Tang Yinyu was in the study when a eunuch rushed in and knelt down nervously to report: "Grand Emperor, something bad has happened! The Queen Mother suddenly fell ill in the garden and has been sent back to the palace."

When Tang Yinyu heard this, his face suddenly changed and he stood up abruptly.

A strong feeling of uneasiness surged in his heart. Without time to think, he immediately strode towards Chu Yuqin's bedroom.

The news spread throughout the palace in an instant, and everyone fell into tension and worry.
