Chapter 106 Pocket Watch



Ituma Shushu thought to herself: The case is finally solved. The yellow bead on the bed in Jiuzhou Qingyan must be the Emperor Stone.

Jiuzhou Qingyan was the residence of the emperor.

Therefore, it seems reasonable that the Emperor Stone is located in Jiuzhou Qingyan.

Could it be that Hongzhao simply touched the Emperor Stone with his hand, as claimed by "Chenxi Mall"?

Why do I keep getting this feeling that this Imperial Stone is trying to scam Emperor Hongzhao?

However, no matter what, at least it proves that Emperor Stone wasn't just a scam by "Dawn Mall".

Because if we calculate it by time, it was indeed after Hongzhao selected the Emperor Stone that "Dawn Mall" was upgraded again.

Thinking of this, she patted the head of the Seventh Prince Hongzhao and said, "Maybe Hongzhao is mistaken, or maybe this yellow bead has long legs and ran away on its own."

“Mother, how can beads grow legs and run by themselves? I’m not Hongxu or Hongxuan.”

The Seventh Prince, Hongzhao, said with a speechless expression.

“Hongzhao, don’t say it’s impossible. Your mother has been having dreams for the past two months, but she can’t remember what she dreamed about after she wakes up.”

I remember something that looked like a stone, something shaped like a stone, kept appearing in my dreams.

That's why I asked you last month. Your mother now suspects that the yellow bead you saw, Hongzhao, later turned into this stone-like thing and entered my dream.

Ahem, Ituma Shushu is talking nonsense with a straight face.

The Seventh Prince, Hongzhao, looked at his mother with a suspicious expression.

Ituma Shushu quickly changed the subject, saying softly, "Hongzhao, your mother thinks you're especially happy today. Is there something else you want to tell your mother?"

The Seventh Prince, Hongzhao, said with a proud look, "Mother, you noticed."

Ituma Shushu thought that the Seventh Prince Hongzhao was really adorable at this moment. She suppressed her laughter and continued, "Yes, Mother has seen through it."

"Mother, when Father Emperor checked Hongzhao's studies today, he praised Hongzhao. This is the pocket watch that Father Emperor gave Hongzhao as a reward."

After saying this with a proud expression, the Seventh Prince Hongzhao took out a pocket watch.

Ituma Shushu stared in shock at the pocket watch in the hand of the Seventh Prince Hongzhao, thinking to herself: Wow, this is a Western pocket watch from the Yongzheng era!

Then, she hugged the Seventh Prince Hongzhao tightly and said softly, "This is a pocket watch. This is the first time your mother has ever seen one. Our Hongzhao is so wonderful and amazing. He is your mother's pride."

"Mother, Mother, Mother."

At this moment, the seventh prince, Hongzhao, forcefully broke free from Ituma Shushu's embrace.

Then he placed the pocket watch into Ituma Shushu's hand, and then said somewhat awkwardly in a low voice, "Mother, Hongzhao is giving you this pocket watch."

Ituma Shushu was a little shocked. "Hongzhao, you should give the pocket watch to your mother now."

"Yes, Mother."

The Seventh Prince, Hongzhao, said with a serious expression.

Ituma Shushu was deeply moved. She hugged the Seventh Prince Hongzhao again and choked up, saying, "My Hongzhao is so good."

After a while, Ituma Shushu released the Seventh Prince Hongzhao and said softly, "Then this pocket watch belongs to your mother, but your mother doesn't know how to read it. When Hongzhao learns to read it, he will teach his mother."

The Seventh Prince Hongzhao said happily, "Okay, Mother, I'm sure I'll learn to read it soon. I'll definitely teach you when the time comes."

Ituma Shushu said with a troubled look, "But Mother, I'm a little slow, so I might not be able to read it so quickly."

The Seventh Prince, Hongzhao, said solemnly, "Mother, don't worry, I will teach you slowly."

Ituma Shushu finally couldn't resist giving the Seventh Prince Hongzhao a kiss on each cheek and said softly, "Hongzhao is really my sweet little man."

The Seventh Prince, Hongzhao, looked at his mother with an embarrassed expression.

Then, as if remembering something, he asked, "Mother, do you know Uncle Thirteen?"

“Mother knows that your thirteenth uncle is your father’s best brother,” Ituma Shushu said softly.

“Mother, Father Emperor mentioned Uncle Thirteen today,” the Seventh Prince Hongzhao continued.

Ituma Shushu sighed and said softly, "Your father must be missing your thirteenth uncle."

"Yes, Mother, Father said he misses Uncle Thirteen very much."

Father Emperor also asked me if I missed Hongxu and Hongxuan since I hadn't seen them during the day after I went to study in the Imperial Study.

Hongzhao said he really wanted to, and that he had been thinking all morning about whether the two of them had been fooling around.

At lunchtime, I wondered if the two of them had eaten their lunch properly.

Moreover, Hongzhao always wanted to see Hongxu and Hongxuan whenever he returned from the Imperial Study.

The Seventh Prince, Hongzhao, continued speaking.

Ituma Shushu, I'm a little embarrassed. Uh, Hongzhao, you've really stepped into your father's heart trap. No wonder your father rewarded you with a pocket watch.

She thought to herself, "I was wondering why Emperor Yongzheng would suddenly be so generous as to reward Hongzhao with a pocket watch."

It turns out that Prince Yi, Yinxiang, was also involved, so this is not surprising.

Then, Ituma Shushu said with a smile, "Hongzhao, shouldn't we go see Hongxu and Hongxuan now?"

The seventh prince, Hongzhao, nodded and said, "Yes, Mother, let's go now."

...

The thirteenth uncle of the seventh prince Hongzhao was the thirteenth prince during the Kangxi era, Aisin Gioro Yunxiang.

However, Emperor Yongzheng restored his name to "Yinxiang," so he no longer needed to avoid using the emperor's name.

Yinxiang's mother, Lady Zhangjia, was only a concubine from the Imperial Household Department, and she also passed away when he was fourteen years old.

However, after Emperor Yongzheng ascended the throne, he immediately promoted Lady Zhangjia to the rank of Imperial Noble Consort, skipping two ranks.

As the saying goes, "love me, love my dog," and from the moment Emperor Yongzheng ascended the throne, he posthumously conferred the title of Imperial Noble Consort on Yinxiang's mother.

This shows how much Emperor Yongzheng loved his thirteenth brother.

At the beginning of his reign, Emperor Yongzheng immediately appointed Yinxiang as the Minister of State Affairs and bestowed upon him the title of Prince Yi.

After that, Yinxiang practically single-handedly handled administration, military affairs, and finance during the Yongzheng reign.

Although he wielded immense power, he remained humble and devoted himself entirely to assisting Emperor Yongzheng.

It can be said that Yinxiang was Yongzheng's greatest reliance in the early years of his reign.

It was precisely because Yinxiang worked diligently day and night that Yongzheng had enough energy to confidently plan his ingenious reform measures.

"Wang Gu's immortal achievements are truly remarkable, making him a complete human being in the universe!"

My thirteenth brother is the best thirteenth brother in the entire universe.

This is Emperor Yongzheng's evaluation of Yinxiang.

After Yinxiang's death, Yongzheng bestowed upon him the posthumous title of "Xian" and added the eight characters "Zhong Jing Cheng Zhi Qin Shen Lian Ming" before the title.

At the same time, Yongzheng also granted Yinxiang, who had no military merits, the honor of being enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
