Chapter 229 Consort Fucha
Although Hongchang felt somewhat saddened by his father's growing wariness of him in recent years,
It's inevitable to feel some disappointment and grievance.
But in his heart, the Emperor is still the Emperor, and this blood relationship cannot be severed.
Regardless of the Emperor's thoughts and attitudes towards him
Hongchang always believed that, as a son, he couldn't let these small grievances and misunderstandings affect him.
They easily abandon their duties as children.
Therefore, after much thought, Hongchang made up his mind to advise his father, the Emperor.
Father Emperor's health cannot continue to deteriorate like this.
Fucha Peiyun naturally understood her son's thoughts; she knew that Hongchang would definitely try to persuade Da Pangju.
She had actually anticipated this.
She also understood that if Hongchang went on like this, he probably wouldn't gain the Emperor's approval or praise.
It might even provoke the Emperor's dissatisfaction and resentment.
You won't get any benefit.
Even so, Fucha Peiyun did not speak up to stop Hongchang.
In her view, her son's filial piety was something to be proud of.
Hongchang's filial piety towards Da Pang Ju is so great; his devotion to her will only increase.
A dutiful son is always better than an unfilial one.
She knew perfectly well the cruelty and ruthlessness of this heavenly family.
Under the rule of imperial power, the affection between father and son is often overshadowed by power and self-interest.
In the imperial family, there are no fathers and sons, no brothers, only rulers and subjects.
She hopes that Hongchang can learn from this experience.
Recognize this reality early on and understand the principle that there are no fathers and sons in the imperial family.
Hopefully, he will be more careful in handling his relationship with his father, the Emperor, in the future.
Only in this way could he navigate the complex and treacherous court.
Only by better protecting themselves can they truly understand their mother's good intentions.
Understand everything she has done all along.
All of this was so that he could survive peacefully in the harem, this great melting pot.
Hongchang rushed to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and according to custom, he waited to be announced before entering.
After bowing, I saw my father, the Emperor, who had changed so much.
A wave of sorrow welled up in Hongchang's heart; he couldn't believe it.
It was unbelievable that her usually dignified father, the Emperor, had fallen into such a state.
Without hesitation, he knelt down, clasped his hands tightly, and earnestly said:
"Father, I implore you to prioritize the well-being of the nation and not to indulge in sensual pleasures any longer."
Big Fat Orange, however, completely ignored Hongchang's advice.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze sharp as a knife as he looked Hongchang up and down.
Looking at his son, who was growing taller and more outstanding every day,
Big Fat Orange felt a pang of bitterness and jealousy.
He felt that his son had grown up and become more thoughtful.
They couldn't wait to take the throne from him and replace him.
He snorted coldly and said disdainfully:
"I know what I'm doing, you don't need to interfere."
When Hongchang heard his father say this, his heart sank, but he did not give up.
He raised his head, looking firmly at his father, the Emperor, and said:
"Father, there are still many hidden dangers in the court."
We are surrounded by powerful enemies who are watching us closely and could take advantage of our weakness at any time.
The government was plagued by corruption among officials, factionalism, and a general decline in governance.
If you continue like this, how will you cope?
Big Fat Orange was enraged by Hongchang's words.
Enraged, he abruptly stood up from the dragon throne, pointed at Hongchang, and cursed:
"How dare you! When did it become your business to interfere in my affairs? Get out of my way!"
Su Peisheng listened outside the hall, feeling a pang of worry for the Sixth Prince.
I'm afraid the Emperor will punish the Sixth Prince.
Su Peisheng glanced at the others warningly, emphasizing that today's events must not be leaked.
Hongchang trembled slightly at his father's shout, but he quickly regained his composure.
Seeing his father's angry expression, he grew increasingly anxious.
Sweat kept rolling down his forehead, sliding down his cheeks and onto the ground, leaving small water stains.
He wanted to say something more, but seeing his father's face contorted with rage, he hesitated.
He knew that saying anything more would be futile and might even anger his father, making things worse.
Left with no other choice, he silently stood up and slowly withdrew from the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
The sunlight outside the hall was still bright, but Hongchang's heart felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar.
He walked back to his brother's residence, each step feeling so heavy.
He was filled with disappointment and sadness; he had never imagined that his sincere advice would be so misunderstood.
What he received in return was the Emperor's reprimand and misunderstanding.
He didn't know what he should do to make his father, the Emperor, understand his feelings.
As soon as Hongchang returned to the Prince's residence, he saw Ye Lanyi waiting at the door.
Hongchang's "Aunt Lanyi"
Ye Lanyi quickly came to greet her.
"The prince has returned, and the empress has specially sent some refreshments."
They said they were worried you were in a bad mood, and that eating something sweet would cheer you up.
Ye Lanyi said gently, her eyes full of concern.
Ye Lanyi sighed inwardly. What she really wanted to say was that the old emperor was not a good father at all.
Over the years, although the old emperor appeared to value the Sixth Prince highly,
But in reality, it's nothing special.
In contrast, their mistress was the one who truly cared for the Sixth Prince.
Whether it's something she can think of or something she can't, the Empress will consider everything for the Sixth Prince.
But these were words that she, a servant, could not utter.
If those with ulterior motives were to overhear this, it would surely bring trouble to her empress and the sixth prince.
Ye Lanyi has come to understand the stakes involved over the years.
So she could only bury these thoughts deep in her heart.
She used to be all alone and fearless.
But ever since the Empress brought him back...
She also gained family and friends, which taught her to cherish and protect them.
Hongchang felt a warmth in his heart as he listened to Ye Lanyi's words.
He followed Ye Lanyi into the house and immediately saw the exquisite pastries on the table.
The snacks were arranged neatly, and they were all his favorites, clearly prepared specially for him by his mother.
Looking at the pastries, Hongchang felt a lump in his throat.
“My mother is busy with palace affairs every day, and she still has to worry about me…”
Hongchang said softly
Ye Lanyi's lips curled into a slight smile, and she nodded slightly in agreement, saying softly:
"You are Her Majesty's son. Even if you put in a lot of effort, Her Majesty will surely be overjoyed."
The Sixth Prince only needs his wife in his heart.
However, she didn't want the Sixth Prince to be sad.
He was the son I'd watched grow up.
Ye Lanyi paused briefly, then continued:
"Her Majesty specifically instructed me not to take this matter to heart."
His Majesty may have been momentarily blinded by anger, which is why he treated you this way.
A bitter smile appeared on Hongchang's lips. He slowly shook his head and sighed:
"My sincere devotion to my father, the Emperor, has been completely ignored by him."
Instead, they viewed me as a rebellious son attempting to seize the throne.
In this way, the relationship between ruler and subject, father and son, will likely be difficult to restore to its former state.
