The person he had arranged to secretly overhear his mother talking to Ming's mother. Because his mother was worried about him, she arranged for herself to be given to Ming's mother so that she could help take care of him.
At that time, he was both scared and worried. He was afraid that his mother would really die, and he was also afraid of his mother.
Later, his mother's health finally gave out, and after her burial, he went to his mother's palace.
Fortunately, his mother was very good to him, and his second brother, the Crown Prince, was also very good to him. He would have a share of everything his second brother had. Gradually, he also emerged from the sadness of his mother's departure.
He started by coming to eat with his second brother, the Crown Prince, at his mother's house, and later he came to eat there alone. His mother always took good care of him, and he gained a deeper understanding of her.
Later, as he grew older and his studies became more demanding, he began to enter the imperial court. Although he saw his mother, Consort Ming, less often, their relationship remained strong.
Later, as he grew older, his mother began to travel, but she always remembered him and was present for important moments such as his marriage and the birth of his children.
The elderly Yinzhen lay on his reclining chair, watching his grandchildren playing in front of him. He felt that he had lived a truly happy life. By this time, his mother and father, the Emperor, had long since passed away, and his third brother had also died a few years earlier. Although he had never had the love of his birth mother, he was fortunate to have two loving adoptive mothers. In his career, he followed his second brother to protect the Qing Dynasty and helped him govern it. He watched the Qing Dynasty become more and more prosperous and was never suspected of anything, thus earning great trust and favor. In his family life, he and his wife were very loving and their life was fulfilling. He had had enough in his life.
The wind picked up! Yinzhen watched the leaves rustling in front of him. This was the tree he and his wife had planted together. Yinzhen listened with a smile to the laughter of his grandson beside him and slowly closed his eyes.
Yinzhi's side story
From the moment I was born, I knew I had two mothers: one who gave birth to me and the other who raised me. I have always felt very happy because I have many people who love me. Not only my two mothers, but also several ladies in the palace love me very much. Perhaps it is because it is lonely in the palace, so they give all their love to me.
Later, when I started school, I made many good friends, the best of whom were Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu. We were all close in age, and by the time we entered school, my eldest brother and second brother had already graduated. Back then, we often heard the teacher praising my eldest brother and second brother in class.
In particular, the Crown Prince's second brother praised him so highly that it was unparalleled, which made me very angry. I couldn't understand whether this Crown Prince's second brother was really that good.
Not only was I angry, but my friends were also very angry. They were all furious about this second brother of the Crown Prince, whom they had hardly ever met, and wanted to know if he was a real person that the Master could praise him so highly.
After all, the three of them often got their hands slapped because they just couldn't learn it.
Later, I didn't meet my second brother, the Crown Prince, first, but I met Consort Ming first. That was because it was my fourth brother's birthday, and he was going to Yonghe Palace to celebrate, so he invited us to come and play.
I went back and asked my mother, and she said it was okay. So I went with the gift that my mother had personally chosen for me. Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu also went with me. One reason was that my fourth brother had invited them for his birthday and they wanted to join in the fun. Another reason was that they wanted to see what kind of person this second prince was.
When they arrived, they learned that the Crown Prince's second brother was not at home. He and his eldest brother had gone to a faraway place on official business and had not yet returned because the court had been very busy.
We were a little disappointed when we heard the news, but when we saw the huge cake, lots of delicious food and fruit that Consort Ming had prepared, we didn't feel sad at all.
In particular, he also noticed that there were many toys nearby.
I think Fourth Brother's life is so happy. He has so many delicious foods and fun things to do, and his mother, Consort Ming, seems very gentle.
Everyone spent the day eating, drinking, and having fun at Yonghe Palace. When they left, Consort Ming prepared several small baskets for each of them so that they could pick fruit in the orchard themselves.
Everyone had a great time that day, and when we left, we took a lot of fruit with us. It was then that I realized that all the delicious fruits and snacks I had been eating before were from Yonghe Temple.
Later, we met the Crown Prince and learned what kind of person he was. We began to look at him with admiration and enthusiasm because the Crown Prince was really outstanding. He not only helped us, but also guided us and taught us things that our mother and the other concubines could not teach us.
At that time, I thought the Crown Prince's second brother was really good, especially Xiao Ba. He was initially very dissatisfied with the Crown Prince's second brother, but later he became very convinced of him because the Crown Prince's second brother taught him a lot of new things.
He seemed completely unafraid that we would compete with him for his position. He treated each of his brothers very well. When they reached the appropriate age, without any further explanation, the Crown Prince's second brother made arrangements for them to enter the court and begin their internships.
At first, he really didn't understand his second brother, the Crown Prince, who was given access to court officials and assigned such tasks. He often heard all sorts of things from others, many of which were malicious, and some were even urging him to compete for the position of Crown Prince.
But the Crown Prince's second brother seemed to ignore these words and didn't care at all.
