After Hua Fei was reborn, she became the white moonlight of Pangju
Chapter 239 Extra 6: Hongli and Concubine Hua (3)
The words "You make father proud" make my nose sore.
If I were younger, I would have cried.
But when I thought about how I was already an eleven-year-old little man, I held back my tears.
"Thank you for the compliment, Father. I will study harder!"
"Good boy!"
My father raised his hand and touched my hair for the first time.
My tears fell uncontrollably.
When the emperor saw this, he paused slightly and sighed.
"Now that you are here, don't go back to Yuanmingyuan. The Third Prince is your elder brother. He has learned more than you. You two brothers can study together."
I quickly knelt down on my knees and kowtowed, and my tears immediately dripped onto the stone.
"Thank you, Father Emperor."
As I walked out, I caught a glimpse of the vicious look that Concubine Qi was giving me from the corner of my eye.
The third prince she gave birth to was a useless person with an empty head and was very slow in learning.
Because the Third Prince is slow and stupid, I appear particularly outstanding in front of my father.
The emperor's descendants died out.
Many of my older and younger brothers died shortly after birth.
The only one who is about my age is the Third Prince.
Therefore, it is inevitable that my father will compare us two.
Without exception, I crush the Third Prince every time.
As time went by, the Third Prince became cold towards me and no longer made appointments to study with me.
One day, Concubine Hua suddenly came to see me and said something earnestly and meaningfully.
"Concubine Qi is stupid. Sooner or later, the Third Prince will be raised under the name of the Empress. By then, he will be the eldest son. Although I have received some favor from the Emperor, my position is still inferior to that of the Empress. You should learn to lie low."
No beating around the bush, just straight to the point.
After Concubine Hua analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of the Third Prince and I, she advised me to learn to hide my edge.
I was young at the time and did not understand Concubine Hua's intentions, so I just showed off without any concealment until I accidentally overheard the conversation between the Empress and the Third Prince.
"The Emperor is very suspicious, so you should not be too ostentatious. From what I have observed, the Emperor has become wary of the Fourth Prince, so you must take this as a warning and not bring yourself into trouble."
I was originally going to borrow a book from my third brother, but I didn't expect to hear such words. I immediately turned around and walked back.
The next day, I went to the Yangxin Palace to pay my respects to the Emperor.
I knelt at the entrance of the Hall of Mental Cultivation for about an incense stick of time, and then Su Peisheng told me that the Emperor was tired from reviewing memorials and had gone to rest, so he asked me to go back.
I thought it was just a coincidence.
This continued for the next month.
Thinking about what Concubine Hua said, I finally believed it.
I was too aggressive, and eventually my father became wary of me.
This is the sorrow of the royal father and son.
From then on, I followed Concubine Hua's advice, restrained myself, focused on my studies, and no longer deliberately competed with the Third Prince.
Whenever the Third Prince and I were tested on our studies and he was scolded, I would always stand up and defend him.
As a result, my father looked at me with even warmer eyes.
Concubine Hua was very satisfied with my performance.
Because of Concubine Hua and her protection of me, after I arrived at the palace, no one dared to look down on me.
He even treated me with extra respect because of Concubine Hua.
So I am grateful to Concubine Hua from the bottom of my heart for bringing me back to the palace and making me a true prince of the Qing Dynasty.
It also brings me closer and closer to that supreme position.
Later, I was able to see Concubine Hua less and less often.
I heard that she was stabbed by an assassin while trying to save Concubine Wan.
When I went to see her, I found that her face was pale, but she was still trying to comfort me that everything was fine.
Although I am a prince, I also know that the women in the harem have used all kinds of dirty tricks to win the favor of my father.
So, I find it hard to understand why Concubine Hua wanted to save her father’s favorite concubine, Concubine Wan?
One less competitor, isn't that good?
Let the emperor love only me.
Hua Fei said: "Wanpin is a good person. If I am gone one day, she will be a good support for you."
I immediately retorted.
"In my son's heart, you are the only mother."
Concubine Hua shook her head.
"The world is unpredictable. I am seriously injured and I don't know what my fate will be. Therefore, I have to arrange a path for you in advance. Mother, I hope my Hongli can get what he wants."
My nose is sore.
Later, almost all the bad luck happened to Concubine Hua.
In order to save the emperor, she was seriously injured again and her life was hanging by a thread.
She suffered heavy bleeding when giving birth to her eighth brother Hongzhou.
After fighting against death again and again, Concubine Hua ultimately failed to win this war without the smoke of gunpowder, and she passed away.
I walked in the Old Summer Palace in the winter when it was snowing heavily.
I didn't get to see her for the last time.
When my father issued an imperial decree ordering the entire royal family to go and pay their respects to Concubine Hua, I heard many people complaining.
They felt that their father's actions went against ancestral rules.
Although Hua Fei had been honored as the Imperial Noble Consort, she should not have had such a grand funeral.
It is said that the scale of the funeral was equivalent to the ceremony for the death of a queen.
However, my father is the emperor, and although everyone has objections, they dare not raise them to his face.
The incident at Concubine Hua’s funeral made me re-examine my father.
I have always believed that my father is a cold-blooded person who would not indulge in love between men and women.
But when I saw the grand funeral of Concubine Hua and the densely packed mourning procession kneeling in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, I suddenly realized that I did not understand my father.
In other words, he didn't understand the relationship between his father and Concubine Hua.
In my opinion, my father's marriage to Concubine Hua was an obvious political marriage.
There are very few political marriages that can result in true love.
I felt this even more after I married Princess Gao and Fucha.
But why, when Concubine Hua died, was my father so sad and so stubborn that he wanted to hold a grand funeral despite the opposition of his ministers?
I thought my father was just playing around.
It was not until I saw his face aged overnight and his bloodshot eyes that I was shocked to admit that my father's feelings for Concubine Hua were real.
Wanpin took me to the funeral and cried very sadly.
There is also Concubine Hui.
The three of us knelt in the snow and cried loudly.
Concubine Wan was crying for Concubine Hua who saved her life.
I cry for Concubine Hua who gave me a new life.
The crying of Concubine Hui was probably similar to that of Concubine Wan.
Many years later, when I completely defeated the Third Prince and was only a stone's throw away from the supreme throne, I went to Concubine Hua's Qin Mausoleum on purpose to pay homage to her.
I told her that I had gotten what I wanted, but I didn't know if she had.
Long, long ago, Concubine Hua once said to me: "There are many things you can't help when you marry into the imperial palace. I hope I can get what I want in this life."
