Chapter 335 End of the Main Text
Children change every day. It only took two years for a child to grow from a red little monkey to a glutinous rice ball that can run, jump and act coquettishly.
"Madam, Madam." Early in the morning, Buerhe had just sat down at the dressing table when he heard the tender little voice outside the palace.
"Hey, Mama is here." Buerhe's hair was still in the hands of the maid, and Qier hurried to the door to greet the little prince.
"This servant pays homage to the young prince. May the young prince be blessed with good fortune."
"Madam Qi, please excuse me. Is Hu'er's Madam awake yet? Did Hu'er not disturb Madam's rest?"
Qi'er's face was full of smiles. After helping the young prince up the stairs, she answered with certainty, "No, no, the master has already gotten up and is dressing in the inner room. If she didn't hear the young prince's voice, she would have sent a servant to pick you up."
Yonghu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, thank you, Mama Qi. I'll go find Mama now."
While the two were talking, they had already reached the door of the inner hall. A little milk bag peeked in quietly. Bull and saw the little guy's secretive appearance in the mirror. His eyes instantly curved into crescents, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes became fan-shaped.
"Come here quickly. Did Mama's darling grandson sleep well? Did he have breakfast?"
It was just dawn at this time and the morning court had not yet ended. I didn't expect the little guy to come so early.
Yonghu received instructions from Mama and trotted to Buerhe's side. She stared with her big eyes at the maid who put the gold hairpin and pendant on her, while she did not forget to answer questions.
"Ma, Hu'er slept so soundly, but didn't she sleep with you last night? Why did she go back to the East Palace this morning? Hu'er is hungry and hasn't had her meal yet. Ma, she looks good in that gold bead."
Upon hearing this, Buerhe quickly asked Qi'er to prepare the meal, "We can't let our lovely Yonghu starve."
Seeing Yonghu's big eyes staring at her, she wanted to know why he returned to the East Palace after a night. Buerhe was speechless. Although she had thought of many excuses to deceive Yonghu, such as that he was confused in his sleep and went back on his own, or that the God of Sleep moved him back like in Journey to the West, after thinking about it, Buerhe still told the truth.
"Your Mafa thinks it's not good for you to sleep among us. She thinks you are already a mature man and should learn to sleep alone."
Yonghu's eyes widened instantly, full of disbelief. "Hu'er is still a little baby. Mother said yesterday that Hu'er was still young and couldn't go to the pool. Besides, the emperor is already so big and still needs Mama to accompany him. I'm so young, why can't I sleep with you?"
As Yonghu spoke, his hands changed. When he talked about Huang Mafa, he stretched out his arms. When he talked about himself, both arms were tightly pressed together. The difference between the two can be clearly seen.
Buerhe tried to hold back his laughter, fearing that Yonghu would be embarrassed and angry after hearing it.
Suddenly, Yinreng's voice was heard from outside. His voice was loud and tinged with a hint of laughter: "Oh, really? Since Yonghu is still young, children can't be picky about food. Make sure to finish the carrots for breakfast today."
Hearing the voice of his own Royal Mafa, Yonghu's little face wrinkled up immediately. He pulled his beloved Mama's clothes and said, "Mama, Hu'er doesn't like carrots."
Bu Erhe was also a little helpless. In fact, Yonghu had not been unable to eat carrots before, he just had no taste for them. If they were put in his bowl, he would be able to eat them.
But Yinreng loved to tease this grandson of the emperor the most, especially after he could speak fluently. He would tease him every day when they met. It was because of Yinreng's constant teasing that carrot became the food that made Yonghu frown whenever he heard it.
"Don't feel wronged, Mama's Hu'er. We already had it yesterday, so we won't have to eat it today. This morning, Mama prepared your favorite chicken soup wontons. We'll add lots of chives to it later so that the emperor won't be picky about food."
Compared to his wife with whom he had lived for most of his life, Buerhe's heart was now completely focused on his own baby Baozi, leaving no room for Yinreng, which made Yinreng even more depressed.
As Yonghu is the prince's eldest son and his own grandson, he must like him. No matter how many children the prince has in the future, this one will always be the most special. However, no matter how much he likes him, ever since Yonghu's legs became nimble enough to run, he always pesters his queen.
Normally, he would pester him all day long, which would be fine since he had to deal with government affairs and attend court, so he really didn't have much time to spend with Buerhe. But now it had developed to the point where he wouldn't leave until late at night, and even wanted to occupy his bed and drive him away.
How could this be possible? Even with his favorite grandson, he would not give in on the issue of Bull and.
"No, no, I'm still little. I don't want to eat chives. Is it okay if I don't eat them today?"
Yinreng also felt aggrieved and complained with a pout. However, since there were no outsiders around, Yinreng didn't want to act pretentiously anymore and just let himself go.
Yonghu was stunned. What the hell? No, these are my lyrics.
Seeing the little Yonghu's shattered worldview, Buerhe glared at Yinreng angrily: "Don't lead the child astray. Our good grandson is not such a willful little guy."
Yinreng raised an eyebrow. "Really? Then why do I remember this sentence? It seems like it was said by a little prince yesterday when he was trying to avoid eating carrots? Did I remember it wrongly?"
Yonghu's face was red with a pout. He looked at his beloved Mama and thought about carrots.
"Okay, okay, Royal Mafa, at worst, Hu'er won't fight with you for Mama at night. Hu'er has grown up and can sleep by herself."
Know when to stop, and don't really piss off the little guy. Not only will the little guy get angry and ignore you, making him lose a lot of fun, but even Bull and Bull won't let him off easily.
"Okay, then I can shake hands with you and make peace. We won't interfere with each other from now on. I won't care if you eat carrots anymore, and you can't continue to be naughty. You have to sleep on your own."
"Okay, Royal Farah hook."
The big finger hooked the little finger: "Pin it together and don't change it for a hundred years."
Bull and Hanxiao watched the scenes that were played out every now and then in Fengwu Palace, and felt an indescribable tenderness in their hearts.
On the morning court session on the first day of December in the tenth year of Kaiyuan, Yinreng signaled He Zhu to read the imperial edict, and the ministers knelt down upon seeing this.
"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: I have reigned for over a decade, managing state affairs with concern for the nation and its people... I have expanded our territory, promoted construction, and dedicated myself to the foundation of the Qing Dynasty... Today, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the world is at peace, and the Qing Dynasty has become the dominant power in the East. I wish to retire from government affairs upon my accomplishments... From this day forward, the throne shall be inherited by the Crown Prince, who shall ascend the throne immediately. I decree this."
"Father, you absolutely cannot do this. I still need your guidance. Besides, there are still many things I don't understand about government affairs, and I have to rely on you for everything."
Hongye had never expected that during a normal court meeting that day, his father would give him such a sudden and unexpected response, and even issue an imperial edict. He sincerely hoped that his father was still on the throne. Not only had he become the crown prince, but his father had never doubted him. Even as a mere crown prince, he already had a lot of state affairs to deal with every day. If he ascended the throne, wouldn't he have to work every day?
He now seriously suspected that his father didn't want to work anymore and wanted to be lazy and go out to play.
There is a trace of all this. In the past two years, my father always said that he would go on a southern tour or an eastern tour, but he was always delayed by some things and it never happened. First, Jingyi gave birth to a child, then there was a pregnancy in Hongchang's mansion that needed care, and then the Crown Princess was pregnant again and Yonghu needed care. Anyway, my father's wish to go out has never been fulfilled.
With the Crown Prince taking the lead, the ministers below also tried to dissuade him: "Your Majesty, please revoke your order. You are the one that the people of the world want, and the Qing Dynasty needs you to continue to lead..."
Yinreng didn't buy it. For thousands of years, this had happened to every emperor who abdicated. Maybe many people under him didn't want him to abdicate, and those were his loyal supporters or royalists, but he had fought for the Qing Dynasty for so many years. Now that Hongye had grown up and was able to lead the Qing Dynasty forward, there was no need for him to continue sitting in this position.
Besides, although Yonghu’s childish words are unpleasant to hear, they are the truth. As an emperor, he sleeps later than a dog and gets up earlier than a chicken. If he does something wrong, there will be so many people criticizing him. There are countless pairs of eyes staring at him all day long. Such a life is not free at all.
However, after Yinreng did such a big thing, he also had the mind to secretly mutter to Yonghu, hoping that he would not forget his childish words when he succeeded to the throne, haha.
"Alright, alright, I'm not kidding. This decision hasn't been made overnight. The Crown Prince's abilities are obvious to all of you, my dear ministers. Let's not bother with any of this backing down and making concessions. He Zhu, change the Crown Prince's clothes and let him ascend the throne!"
Yinreng has been in power for more than ten years. He is no longer the pitiful prince of Kangxi's reign. Now that he has spoken, his subordinates dare not object too much.
What's more, most of his subordinates were promoted by him or the crown prince, so the crown prince's ascension to the throne was what everyone expected, it was just brought forward in time.
He Zhu was very swift and swift, and soon Hongye's dragon robe was delivered. Yinreng personally put it on Hongye and said, "Prince, I now hand over the Qing Dynasty to you." He also placed the imperial seal directly into Hongye's hands.
Hongye looked straight at his father, his eyes filled with pride and encouragement. He nodded heavily and said, "I will definitely be a good emperor and live up to your expectations."
Just like that, in full view of everyone, Hongye was led directly by Yinreng to sit on the golden dragon throne.
"Long live my emperor."
"Can we just leave like this? Don't you think Hongye will be furious when he finds out?" Bu Erhe snuggled in Yinreng's arms. At this moment, the two of them had already boarded a carriage heading south and left the capital.
"No, Hongye was just panicked at the beginning, but he will be able to handle it soon. Besides, you are already the emperor, you can't rely on me for everything." Yinreng didn't care. He knew the ability of the children he raised. Besides, if he didn't leave, some of those old ministers would be difficult to manage.
A new emperor appoints new ministers. It's time for his old friends to wake up to some truths.
"Then the three brothers Hongyan..."
Buerhe was a little worried about his three boys. Although they were thirteen years old this year, they had not grown up at all. They were always teasing cats and dogs all day long, but they were also very naughty.
"If you ask me, they only dare to be so presumptuous because we are in the capital. I have secretly observed them before, and the three boys are very obedient in front of Hongye! Besides, we are just going to the south to play. If you want to come back, we can come back anytime, right?
I heard from Heng Chen that it's warm in the south now, so we only need to wear spring clothes. There are countless kinds of sea fish and oysters on the seashore, as well as your favorite lychees and mangoes..."
Buerhe's attention was quickly diverted. Thinking about her previous life when she could only view seafood from afar due to sea water pollution, her appetite was aroused.
"That's fine, I'll just give the southern flavor a try. But, since we're going out, should we change the name?"
"That's fine. How about we just follow the way we address each other in Yuqing Palace? You call me Master, and I'll call you Fujin."
Buerhe nodded and was about to say something else when he suddenly heard a familiar voice: "Master, did you hear that? I thought I heard Yonghu calling Mama?"
Yinreng narrowed his eyes and said, "You heard it right. I heard it too." After that, Yinreng moved to the rear of the carriage and opened the box he had brought with him. Sure enough, a baby's smiling face appeared inside: "Mama, Mafa, Hu'er wants to go out and play too!"
