My father is Yongzheng, and I am Qianlong?

Chapter 32: The caring and thoughtful Yongzheng

Fortunately, Hongshi knew how to give in in time. He knelt down regardless of the blood dripping from his nose.

Therefore, Yongzheng did not continue to punish Hongshi.

"Father, calm down. My son was wrong!"

Yongzheng didn't say anything more, just pointed outside and said, "Get out of here!"

"I don't want to see you, go back to your eighth uncle!"

"Go tell your uncle what happened today!"

"Also, remember this: if anything happens to Hongli, the first person I won't forgive is you!"

Hongli sighed secretly. Yongzheng's words were indeed harsh, but he also did not hesitate to protect his sons. He deserved more filial piety from him.

No matter how rebellious Hongshi was, he would not dare to really listen to Yongzheng's words and go to see the Eighth Brother at this time.

So, Hongshi just gritted his teeth and said, "Please calm down, Father. I won't dare to do that again!"

Yongzheng ignored Hongshi and just held Hongli's hand and walked out.

Hongshi stood up only after Yongzheng had gone far away. He stood there and looked at Yongzheng and Hongli for a while. His eyes were a little moist and he clenched his fists tightly.

As Yongzheng held his hand tightly, Hongli had no choice but to follow Yongzheng out.

Su Peisheng had already prepared the carriage outside.

Hongli and Yongzheng got on the carriage.

Inside the carriage, a puppy came towards Yongzheng happily, wagging its tail.

But because Yongzheng still had an icy face.

The dog stopped wagging its tail and timidly went to Hongli's side, staying close to Hongli's feet, only glancing at Yongzheng.

Yongzheng forcibly took the dog from Hongli's feet and held it in his arms.

The dog was so frightened that it groaned a few times and cast a pitiful look at Hongli for help.

Yongzheng was furious, and Hongli didn't want to provoke him, so he could only choose to ignore the puppy's gaze.

"If Hongshi ever speaks rudely to you again, or even touches you, tell Ama. Whether he admits it or not, Ama will only believe you!"

At this time, Yongzheng suddenly spoke to Hongli and gave him some instructions.

Hongli nodded repeatedly.

He discovered that Yongzheng really hated Hongshi to the extreme, and actually called him by his name in front of his younger brother instead of referring to him as "your third brother".

It can be seen that before Hongli could say that he no longer recognized Hongshi as his third brother, Yongzheng himself had already denied that Hongshi was his third brother.

Hongli naturally had nothing to say, and he also knew that he could not speak when Yongzheng was angry. Besides, the more Yongzheng hated Hongshi, the better it was for him.

Because the distance from Prince Yong's Mansion to Changchun Garden was very long, and people get hungry quickly in winter, it didn't take long for Hongli's stomach to growl.

"hungry?"

Yongzheng asked Hongli a question at this time.

Hongli said "hmm".

Yongzheng smiled and then gave Su Peisheng a wink.

"Whoo!"

Su Peisheng responded and clapped his hands.

After a while, hurried footsteps were heard, and then two eunuchs carried a food box with snow still on it into the car.

It turned out that in order to make it easier for him to eat hot meals on the road, Yongzheng prepared a carriage in advance and followed behind, with eunuchs inside using a low fire to keep the hot food warm at all times.

When the food in the lunch box was taken out and placed by the stove, it was still steaming.

"Eat it. I asked Fu Jin to prepare this. It should be something you like."

"That day, when you, Khanmafa, came to the mansion for dinner, I asked them to secretly remember the dish you picked up most frequently." At this time, Yongzheng stroked the uncooperative dog in his arms and said to Hongli with a smile.

When Hongli saw the food, he became even hungrier. The fire in his stomach seemed to burn even more fiercely, and his eyes became hot.

This forced him to admit that although Yongzheng could be cruel and ruthless when he hated someone, he could also be truly caring and thoughtful when he cared for someone.

No wonder that in many of Yongzheng's red-ink comments that have been passed down to later generations, there are many harsh words and many corny words from Yongzheng.

It goes without saying that they are mean, and many emperors who hold absolute power have this characteristic.

But many of Yongzheng's corny words were completely unlike what an emperor, especially a Qing emperor with greater imperial power, would say.

"Ama, please eat first."

Hongli also took the initiative to behave more respectfully.

He knew that although Yongzheng would be extremely caring and protective of his child when he loved him, if that person became arrogant and caused him to dislike him, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, Hongli did not get carried away by this.

Yongzheng smiled and said, "Father has already eaten, you can eat now."

"Master, please eat. These are specially prepared by the master for you. The happier you eat, the happier the master will be!"

Su Peisheng could also see that his Fourth Master truly loved the Fourth Prince to the core, which made him unable to help but speak when it was necessary for him to speak, and say some of the embarrassing words that Yongzheng wanted to say.

Yongzheng was indeed even happier after hearing this, but he feigned anger and said, "You little dog slave, you have no right to speak here."

"This servant deserves a slap in the face! Please punish me, Fourth Master!"

Su Peisheng quickly pleaded guilty.

"That's it!"

Yongzheng naturally did not really pursue Su Peisheng.

Hongli laughed secretly on the side. He could see that none of these servants accompanying Yongzheng were simple. They knew how to make their master happy. Sui Hede was like this, and so was Su Peisheng.

Next, Hongli began to eat with relish.

He didn't care about his eating manners.

Because, although Yongzheng was serious and solemn most of the time, he also often hoped that people close to him could be more relaxed and natural in front of him.

This is certainly not frivolous, but rather a kind of pleasure and freedom that is in line with human nature.

otherwise……

Su Peisheng would not suddenly start gossiping.

Yinxiang, who was once a backbone of the prince's party and was casual and daring, would not be regarded as a true brother by Yongzheng soon after joining Yongzheng's camp.

Even the sixteenth prince Yinlu was deeply loved by Yongzheng because he was more casual in front of him. Yongzheng ignored the criticism from both the court and the public and gave Yinlu the title of Prince Zhuang.

Yongzheng was very happy to see Hongli eating so fast, and he even brought him tea himself: "Slow down, drink some tea."

"Thank you, Ama!"

Hongli smiled and took the initiative to use a pair of spare chopsticks to pick up a piece of chicken and put it in front of Yongzheng: "Father, try it, this time the braised chicken tastes better!"

Yongzheng opened his mouth and ate it, chewing it carefully.

Afterwards, Yongzheng said with satisfaction: "It tastes good. Feed another piece to Father."

Hongli then fed Yongzheng another bite with the spare chopsticks.

This made Su Peisheng, who had always known Yongzheng, open his mouth in surprise.

Because in his memory, this Fourth Master would not be so casual.

But Yongzheng was indeed very satisfied now. He was petting the dog contentedly while savoring the aroma of chicken in his mouth.

It was not until he saw a half-naked lower-class bannerman child huddled in a simple shack outside the car window, saying to his father, "Father, I'm hungry," that his face turned cold again.
