My father is Yongzheng, and I am Qianlong?

Chapter 1 Prince Yong's Fourth Son

There were two trees in front of Hongli, one was a jujube tree, and the other was also a jujube tree. (If you are making personal attacks, every word you say will be rebounded!)

This is not a repetition of the words of some great writer.

Because Hongli was now sitting on the roof of the back wing, looking at the two jujube trees.

Outside the courtyard wall next to the two jujube trees, there came the sounds of singing, reciting, acting and fighting in a drama, as well as the cheers and applause of many princes and nobles.

Hongli knew that right outside the courtyard wall was the Eighth Prince's Mansion.

Even though the Eighth Prince Yinsi has now lost the chance to compete for the throne, the rise of the Eighth Prince's party, the Fourteenth Prince, has made the Eighth Prince's Mansion still a place that many princes and ministers flock to.

But Hongli just turned a deaf ear to it.

After all, this excitement has little to do with him, the fourth son of Prince Yong.

He wasn't interested either.

He enjoyed the tranquility within the wall at the moment and would rather sit on the roof and stare at the red dates all over the sky.

At some point, Princess Niuhulu came running over and looked up at him nervously: "Hongli! Why are you up there again?"

Niu Hulu was his biological mother.

Because Niuhuru's family background was not very good, his father Ling Zhu was only a fourth-rank ceremonial official, and his mother Peng was only the daughter of student Peng Wu.

Therefore, after Niohuru entered Prince Yong's mansion as a concubine, her status was always that of a "gege", that is, the lowest-ranking concubine. She did not become a concubine just because she gave birth to Hongli.

Therefore, everyone in the palace called her "Gege".

Hongli was no exception.

"Gege, I've finished my homework."

Hongli looked at Niohuru.

Niohuru was very strict in supervising Hongli's studies. She often threatened Hongli to finish the homework assigned by the teacher in the mansion as soon as possible under the pretext that her father Yongzheng wanted to check on him.

But in fact, Yongzheng rarely came to Hongli to check his homework.

This was mainly because Niohuru was of humble status and was not very popular with Emperor Yongzheng.

But the county magistrate was not as good as the current one. In order to prevent Niu Hulu from nagging in front of him, he would finish his homework honestly every time he came home from school.

Niu Hulu asked, "Have you finished your math and physics homework?"

"Done!"

"Has there been any inspection?"

"I've checked it."

Because Kangxi liked to study mathematics and physics, his descendants followed suit, and all the princes and nobles of the royal family attached great importance to letting their children learn mathematics and physics.

Of course, Kangxi only encouraged the children of the royal family to study mathematics and physics, but did not encourage it for outsiders. He only required the Han people to be proficient in Confucianism.

Hongli would also be taught some mathematics and physics lessons in preparation for being suddenly inspected by Kangxi when attending court banquets in the future.

Niu Hulu still frowned: "Come down, it's not safe up there."

"I want to stay up there a while."

Hongli replied and looked at the blue sky outside the palace wall.

"Look out, your father will see it."

Niu Hulu said.

Prince Yong Yinzhen was a notoriously cold-faced prince. He was harsh to his officials and naturally to his family as well.

Therefore, in Prince Yong's Mansion, almost everyone would change color when they heard the name of Yongzheng.

Therefore, in the past, whenever Hongli was disobedient, he would obey as soon as Niohuru mentioned Yongzheng.

This is Niu Hulu's tried and tested method.

But Hongli didn't care about it and continued to sit on it. Niu Hulu was really worried that Hongli would fall.

One is based on a mother's instinctive concern for her son's safety;
Secondly, her humble status would mean that any harm to Hongli would become a double punishment for her and her family.

So, when she saw that Hongli still refused to come down, she grabbed her chest, forced a smile, and continued to persuade Hongli: "Come down, I'll ask them to make some dates for you, how about it?"

Hongli ignored Niohuru.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to give face to Niu Hulu, but he is also in a depressed mood.

Because just three days ago, he was a 21st century mathematics teacher, teaching students in the classroom.

But he didn't expect that while he was chatting in math class and criticizing the Qing Dynasty for how it kept the people ignorant, he suddenly arrived in the Qing Dynasty.

Then, he became Hongli, the fourth son of Yongzheng, and he was the most accomplished poet in ancient times!

That is Emperor Qianlong, who was said to have the most comfortable emperor life in history.

However comfortable it is, it is still not as good as the 21st century for Hongli.

"Princess, Su Peisheng came to tell me that the Fourth Master will be here later."

At this time, a female official came quickly and reported to Niohuru the news that Yongzheng was coming.

Niu Hulu was naturally delighted after hearing this, and at the same time she had an idea, and said to Hongli: "Come down quickly, your father will be here soon, and if he sees you like this, he will give you a good kick!"

Hongli also knew that Yongzheng was always strict, so he still climbed down from the roof obediently.

Niohuru hurriedly ordered her servants to make a human ladder and a human carpet to prevent Hongli from losing his footing or accidentally falling.

Finally, Hongli successfully reached the ground and bowed to Niu Hulu: "I'm sorry to have frightened you, Princess."

Niohuru was not angry, she just smiled and touched Hongli's head.

Then, Niu Hulu took the initiative to comfort Hongli: "I know you are unhappy because you can't go to Eighth Uncle's house to watch a play like your third brother! But you can go and play with Hong Zhou."

The third brother of Hongli mentioned by Niohuru is Hongshi, who is now the eldest among Yongzheng's sons.

Hongzhou was Hongli's half-brother, born to Princess Geng. He was the same age as Hongli, just a little later.

Therefore, Hongli and Hongzhou had a very good relationship.

Historically, Emperor Qianlong himself said when recalling his youth that he and Hongzhou were studying together and were almost inseparable.

It was for this reason that Niu Hulu mentioned Hong Zhou at this time.

"Who else are you looking for? If he wants to join in the fun, let him go! Why are you putting on such a stern face in front of your mother?"

At this time, a very stern voice came from the gate of the courtyard.

Niu Hulu and the people present were all silent before they even saw the person who was speaking.

Hongli looked up first, and then saw Yongzheng walking towards him with a cold face.

He knew that although the Prince Yong's mansion and the Prince's Mansion of Yinsi, the eighth son of Emperor Kangxi, were next to each other, they had a bad relationship and were political enemies. Otherwise, in history, Emperor Yongzheng would not have expelled him from the clan and changed his name to Aqinna after he ascended the throne.

Moreover, even Yongzheng's own son Hongshi was targeted by Yongzheng because he was close to Yinsi. Not only was Hongshi not appointed as the crown prince even though he was now seventeen years old, but after Yongzheng ascended the throne, he was directly adopted by Yinsi in the fourth year of his reign, and was later directly removed from the clan membership.

It can be seen how much Yongzheng hated Yinsi and those close to Yinsi.

Therefore, Hongli was not surprised that Yongzheng was angry because Niohuru mentioned the Eighth Prince Yinsi. He thought that Yongzheng probably really thought that he was angry because he did not go to the Eighth Prince's mansion to join in the fun.

Hongli had no choice but to bow deeply and explain: "Father, please forgive me. I am just missing my uncle Thirteenth, so I am unhappy."

Hongli knew that the one who had a truly good relationship with Yongzheng was the Thirteenth Prince Yinxiang, not Yongzheng's younger brother Yinzhen.

Historically, Yongzheng's feelings for Yinxiang were much deeper than his feelings for anyone else. For this reason, after he ascended the throne, he did not allow Yinxiang to avoid taboos and continued to use the character "Yin". He also gave him the honor of the Iron Hat King and treated his son as his own.

Later, because Yinxiang died on the Dragon Boat Festival, Yongzheng became depressed and irritable every Dragon Boat Festival, which made people inside and outside the court feel insecure.

But now, Yinxiang was also implicated because Crown Prince Yinreng was deposed for the second time. Although he was not imprisoned as shown in a certain TV drama, he was under house arrest and could not see anyone.

Therefore, Hongli mentioned Yinxiang at this time to explain why he was in a bad mood today.
