"Your Highness, please slow down!" A little boy dressed in a four-clawed python robe ran ahead, followed by a eunuch who kept reminding him.
The young prince turned around and glanced at the person behind him, saying unhappily, "He Zhu, hurry up! I promised He Xue I would go see her today, otherwise He Xue will cry if she doesn't see me!"
He Zhu, who was running behind him, was out of breath and thought to himself, "The Crown Prince really cares about the little princess of the Guarjia Mansion!"
Meanwhile, He Xue, whom the Crown Prince had mentioned, was fast asleep.
Xue and He decided to make the best of it since they were already there. Since they probably wouldn't be able to go back anytime soon, they figured they should just eat and sleep as usual. They could deal with the rest later.
He Xue never expected that she would travel back to the Qing Dynasty after taking a nap.
That was a month ago.
He Xue recalled the introduction of Prince Yinreng of the Qing Dynasty that she had just read, and couldn't help but sigh. "In the fourteenth year of Kangxi (1675), he was made Crown Prince by Emperor Kangxi."
Yinreng was intelligent and studious from a young age, excelling in both literature and martial arts. He was well-versed in the classics of various schools of thought, poetry, and prose, and was also skilled in riding and archery.
In the early years, Emperor Kangxi was very fond of Yinreng. Whenever he went on a northern expedition, he would let Yinreng oversee the country and manage the government. On the days of his southern tours, Emperor Kangxi would always have Yinreng accompany him.
In his later years, Yinreng was neglected by Emperor Kangxi and was deposed twice as crown prince. In 1708, he was imprisoned in Xian'an Palace. The following year, he was reinstated as crown prince. In 1712, he was deposed again for a crime. Although court officials repeatedly petitioned to reinstate him as crown prince, Emperor Kangxi never reinstated Yinreng.
In 1725, the third year of the Yongzheng Emperor's reign, Yinreng died in Xian'an Palace at the age of 51. He was posthumously granted the title of Prince Li of the First Rank and the posthumous name of Mi.
He Xue has always been very interested in Qing Dynasty history. Today, she looked up information about the deposed Crown Prince Yinreng online and felt sorry for him. He was originally a chosen one of heaven, but he ended up like this.
If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't have done as well as the deposed crown prince; such dramatic ups and downs would likely have broken anyone's mental state.
Yinreng was made crown prince before he was even a year old, and from a young age, he was groomed by Emperor Kangxi to be the future emperor. Yinreng did not disappoint, demonstrating considerable talent in governing the country.
However, as his power grew, Yinreng also became eccentric, irritable, arrogant, and licentious. More and more powerful officials attached themselves to him, posing a threat to the supreme imperial power.
How could Kangxi tolerate a threat to imperial power? Since ancient times, there has been no father-son relationship in the imperial family. Kangxi was first and foremost a monarch and only then a father. Even though he felt sorry for the deposed crown prince, he had to give up on him for the sake of the stability of the Qing Dynasty.
The deposed crown prince was quite pitiful. He knew from a young age that he was the next emperor of the Qing Dynasty and served as crown prince for 37 years. However, his father was in good health, and his younger brother gradually grew up and began to show his talents, which made his sense of crisis grow stronger.
Coupled with the instigation of those around him, the deposed crown prince faced a situation with powerful enemies outside and treacherous officials inside, making tragedy inevitable.
He Xue sighed again. She still felt sorry for the deposed crown prince. Although the tragedy of the deposed crown prince was partly his own doing, Kangxi also bore some responsibility.
If she could really travel back to the Qing Dynasty, she would definitely advise the deposed crown prince not to be misled by the current situation and to stay away from those with ulterior motives.
After all, the deposed crown prince was groomed by Kangxi to be the next emperor, and his talent and ability were certainly no less than those of Yongzheng. Perhaps the Qing Dynasty would have had a good future.
"Sigh, it's just wishful thinking. There's no such thing as time travel! It's all just stories in novels! Time to wash up and go to bed, I have to go to work tomorrow!" He Xue stretched and walked towards the bathroom.
After washing up, Xue and I lay in bed and quickly fell asleep.
He Xue felt that she had slept for a long time, and it felt like it was still dark. Finally, when she felt it was dawn, she felt someone slap her on the butt before she even opened her eyes.
He Xue immediately became alert. She was alone at home; her parents had gone on a trip, and her older brother's family had gone to her sister-in-law's parents' house. Could it be that a thief had broken into the house?
Could this thief not only want to rob her money but also her virtue? Xue was so frightened that she didn't dare to open her eyes. She was about to discuss things with the thief when, to her surprise, she opened her mouth and let out a baby's cry.
What's going on? Are thieves now working as a family group? Isn't this setting a bad example for children? This is something Xue can't tolerate.
He Xue opened her eyes and suddenly realized that she couldn't see anything around her. Her eyesight was that of a pilot! What was going on?
He Xue couldn't help but shout, but all she heard was the baby crying. He Xue realized that the baby's cries were coming from her. What was going on? Could someone tell her?
