After Hua Fei was reborn, she became the white moonlight of Pangju

Chapter 237 Extra 4: Hongli and Concubine Hua (1)

It is said that the prince is born noble and is born with a golden key in his mouth.

But I, Aisin-Gioro Hongli, am an exception.

When I was young, I didn’t understand why the palace maids and eunuchs in the Old Summer Palace always spoke coldly to me.

Later, when I grew up a little and became more sensible, I knew the reason.

Although I am a prince, I am not welcomed because my biological mother is a lowly palace maid.

But the source of my unpopularity did not come from my biological mother, but from my father.

My father was the fourth son of Emperor Kangxi, known as Emperor Yongzheng.

When my father was young, he was raised by the noble Tonggiya clan, so he had a very cold relationship with his biological mother, Uya clan.

When my father was still a prince, he was not valued by my grandfather, Emperor Kangxi.

Grandpa Kangxi’s favorite was his second uncle Yinreng, so he raised him personally when he was very young.

Grandpa Kangxi was an emperor who would be remembered throughout history, and all of his sons were outstanding men.

Precisely because all of Grandpa Kangxi’s sons were so outstanding, in the middle and late period of Kangxi’s reign, the second uncle who was the crown prince was also excluded and dealt with by his older and younger brothers.

In the end, he was deposed and reinstated twice, and forever lost the qualification to ascend the supreme throne.

My father, as one of many princes, was low-key, introverted, and conserved his energy. In the final battle for the throne with his fourteenth uncle Yinzhen, he successfully won over Longkodo and became the emperor in one fell swoop.

However, after ascending to the throne, my father was still uneasy.

He was still afraid that he would be dealt with by his uncles, so he gave the surname of slave to his eighth uncle, ninth uncle, and fourteenth uncle who had once opposed him, and imprisoned them forever.

I was born in the 50th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi.

At that time, my father was still a prince.

My father had no joy at my birth, and even felt disgusted.

When I was born, he just took a look at me, told me to be enrolled in the royal family, and then he raised me in the Old Summer Palace.

And my biological mother, that lowly palace maid, died inexplicably one day.

When I grew up, I was raised by a nanny and learned about my life experience. From then on, I became more cautious and learned to read people's expressions.

Although I know that I shouldn't have expectations of my father.

But as a child, I still longed for my father to come and see me when he had time.

However, every time my father came to the Old Summer Palace, he would never look at me.

I felt a little uneasy in my heart.

Has the emperor forgotten that I am his son?

I can not be reconciled.

My father brought me into this world without my consent, so why did he abandon me in this remote Old Summer Palace?

So, when my grandfather, Emperor Kangxi, occasionally came to the Old Summer Palace to hunt, I used my cleverness to capture his attention and win his favor.

Because of my grandfather Emperor Kangxi’s love for me, my father, who was the fourth prince at the time, finally took a serious look at me.

I was very happy at that time.

The affirmative look from my father made my blood boil.

However, such affirmation soon disappeared as my father became the emperor.

He had more beautiful concubines, and sons and daughters were born one after another, and he forgot about me again.

I can not be reconciled.

I asked my nanny to find some books for me and I was determined to study hard.

The nanny sighed sadly, "It's good that you are determined to succeed. I wonder when the emperor will be able to come and see you."

My heart was in a knot and my chest felt tight.

Yes, my father hasn’t been to the Old Summer Palace for a long, long time. Has he forgotten me?

In the first year of Yongzheng's reign, the opportunity came.

My father brought a group of concubines to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat.

I was observing secretly from the side and discovered that my father had two favorite concubines.

One is Concubine Wan and the other is Concubine Hua.

Wan Changzai looks dignified and beautiful, and very friendly.

Hua Fei looked so bright and charming that people dared not approach her.

I plan to create an opportunity to get close to Concubine Wan, and then take this opportunity to meet my father.

But I never expected that Concubine Hua would find me first.

Every time Concubine Hua went out, she was always accompanied by a ferocious eunuch and an arrogant palace maid. I was a little scared.

I even worried whether Concubine Hua would harm me.

So, I pretended to be weak in front of her and said some words of self-abasement and self-pity.

I thought Concubine Hua would laugh at me, a prince, but actually being so cowardly.

But Concubine Hua told me that people should not look down on themselves, and even if they are in adversity, they should work hard to become stronger.

She also said that it doesn’t matter how others see me, what matters is how I see myself.

For so many years, I have always felt inferior because I have a humble biological mother, and I always felt that everyone looked down on me.

So, invisibly, I also feel a little inferior.

When I walk on weekdays, if I see those palace maids and eunuchs, I will take a detour.

I adhere to the principle of less trouble is worse than more trouble and try my best to avoid conflicts with them.

However, my avoidance did not change their attitude towards me.

Instead, they became even more disrespectful to me.

"Hongli, you must always walk with your back straight. Because you are a prince, you have noble blood. No matter how these people gossip, this fact will never change. So, don't be afraid!"

Hua Fei’s words were like a ray of sunshine in winter, lighting up my world.

I also began to realize a problem: for so many years, I have been living under the eyes of those slaves.

I am clearly the prince of the Qing Dynasty. How dare they, as slaves, tell me what to do?

After listening to Concubine Hua's words, I decided to change myself.

One day, early in the morning, the weather after the rain was very refreshing.

I got up early, took a book with me, and planned to stand in the pavilion and recite it.

To get to the pavilion, you have to go through a green path.

And someone was sweeping the green path.

In the past, I would have taken a detour.

That day, I was planning to do the same out of habit.

A gentle voice suddenly came from behind.

"Fourth Prince, there is a shortcut, why do you want to take a detour?"

I turned around and saw it was Concubine Hua.

Concubine Hua only brought that fierce palace maid today. The palace maid bowed to me respectfully and called me "Fourth Prince".

I felt a little embarrassed and uncomfortable.

Because the eunuchs and palace maids in the Old Summer Palace usually don't even show courtesy to me.

So, when I was suddenly treated so respectfully, my first reaction was that I was not used to it.

Concubine Hua saw my embarrassment but didn't say anything.

He walked up to me, pointed at the maids and eunuchs who were sweeping the floor, and said, "The Fourth Prince is going to pass by here, why don't you servants get out of the way?"

It is said that Concubine Hua, the favorite of the emperor, has an arrogant and domineering personality and speaks in the most rude and unreasonable way.

With just a few words from her, the servants were frightened so much that they trembled in fear, bent over, and retreated to the side.

At this time, Concubine Hua stretched out her hand and let me go first.

I was about to refuse, but I heard Concubine Hua say, "Fourth Prince, they are servants, and you are the master."
