Chapter 481 Extra

Hongxi was born in the Yuanmingyuan Garden. He was the youngest son of Emperor Yongzheng and was deeply loved by the Fourth Prince. Moreover, he had three older brothers who doted on him and protected him.

It can be said that they get whatever they want, whether it's wind or rain.

However, not everything goes smoothly, especially not in accordance with his wishes or desires.

Now, there is one thing that is not to his liking.

The little guy rested his chin on his hand, pondering how to get others to spar with him and fight without holding back.

That's right, the little guy is a martial arts fanatic. He likes to wave his little arms and legs all day long and also likes to play with his little bows, knives and the like.

He also liked to play fighting games with his friends, but unfortunately, his friends were all eunuchs who let him win and didn't dare to fight back at all.

Sigh, this is so frustrating. The little guy continued to rest his chin on his hand, pouting, looking sullen.

The eunuch who served the little boy noticed his worried expression and immediately suggested to distract Hongxi, saying, "Prince, didn't you say a while ago that you wanted to see the Emperor's dog? Why don't you go take a look today?"

Upon hearing this, Hongxi immediately exclaimed happily, "Great idea!"

Seeing that his young master was happy and no longer frowning, the little eunuch immediately smiled as well.

Until they arrived at the dog kennel, the little eunuch was struck dumb!

"It's terrible, Your Majesty!"

A eunuch rushed in, and the Fourth Prince, who was discussing matters with the princes, suddenly frowned.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a panic?"

When the princes saw that the eunuch had something urgent to report to the emperor, they wanted to take their leave, but before they could, the Fourth Prince stopped them. The Fourth Prince did not think that there was anything in the harem that his brothers could not know.

"You're all family, so there's nothing wrong with what you're hearing." Then, the Fourth Prince looked at the eunuch who had entered and asked, "What is it?"

The eunuch, with a long face, replied, "The Seventh Prince is fighting with a dog."

Fourth Master: "..." Did I hear that right?

Your Highnesses: "..." Did we hear that right?

"What did you just say? Say it again?" the Fourth Prince asked the eunuch again, and all the princes turned to look at him.

The eunuch felt like crying but had no tears, but since his master had asked, he still had to answer.

He lowered his head, trying to make his presence felt, and replied, "The Seventh Prince is fighting with a dog."

They actually got into a fight with a dog!

Fourth Master immediately asked worriedly, "Then why didn't you have someone stop them?"

The eunuch replied, "The Seventh Prince had planned to fight the dog. By the time we servants realized what was happening and tried to stop him, it was too late; the young prince had already started fighting with the dog."

Fourth Master felt a sense of dizziness, not because his son was fighting with a dog and it was shameful, but because he was worried about his son's safety.

"What about Hongxi? How is he?"

The eunuch immediately replied, "The imperial physician is examining the patient and doesn't yet know the specifics."

Upon hearing this, Fourth Master immediately lost interest in handling official business and strode out.

The princes also went with the Fourth Prince.

After all, they were quite curious about the Emperor's youngest son.

They had been wondering what kind of trouble the little guy would cause, but they never expected him to fight with the dog.

This little guy, as expected of the twin brother of his fourth brother Hongxuan, fifth brother Hongjing, and sixth brother Hongxu, is also quite a troublemaker.

When Jiaming learned that the little guy had actually fought with a dog, she was so worried!

This is ancient times, not modern times; there was no rabies vaccine then.

However, considering that the little guy inherited his weak wood-type ability, perhaps with this ability, there's not too much to worry about.

Even so, Jiaming still gave Hongxi a severe dressing-down and punished him.

Although the Fourth Prince doted on Hongxi, Hongxi's actions this time were far too dangerous, so the Fourth Prince punished him severely.

Don't think that's the end of it. The little guy has three older brothers who come one after another to reason with him and punish him. At this moment, the little guy deeply felt that beating the dog was fun for a moment, but the punishments kept coming and it was unpleasant!

Except for a time when he was a puppy and got punished severely for fighting with a dog, the little guy is mostly carefree and happy.

Fifteen years later, the Emperor fell ill and passed away.

He then realized that this feeling was even more unpleasant.

Fortunately, time gradually healed his pain, and at the same time, it also healed his mother's pain.

After the death of the Fourth Prince, Jiaming lived in the Yuanmingyuan Garden, cultivating plants and living a carefree life.

At first, Hongxi was worried about Jiaming, but later he realized that he and his brothers were overthinking it, and that their mother was doing very well and was having a great time.

Jiaming was naturally relaxed. Now she was second only to the emperor, and could do whatever she wanted, as leisurely as she pleased. How could she not feel relaxed in such a comfortable situation?

And so, Jiaming resumed her old profession from the post-apocalyptic era: the research of herbs and the various combinations of medicines.

Because the sixth prince, Hongxu, was fond of planting, the mother and son cultivated many experimental fields in the Yuanmingyuan.

This research actually yielded some results for the mother and son.

Thus, of Jiaming's four children, Hongxuan inherited the throne, Hongjing assisted Hongxuan, and Hongxu was nominally in the Ministry of Works, but in reality, he spent his days with Jiaming at the Yuanmingyuan Garden researching planting. The youngest son, Hongxi, was fond of martial arts, but also good at literature, and became a prince capable of leading troops into battle.

Perhaps due to her wood-type supernatural ability, Jiaming lived a very long life.

Not only did she live a long life, but her four sons also lived long lives. Those of the same generation as her sons, even those younger than them, have all passed away, but her four sons remain healthy.
