Comprehensive Qing wear good luck

Chapter 132 4 Master's Backyard is involved in the daily life 57

After Hongxu got Zhang Ruoqing's information, he read it once and put it down.

In fact, there is not much content on it, just the in-laws relationship and where she is now.

I didn’t say anything about what I like, what I do on weekdays, what friends and hobbies I have...

In Le Shu's opinion, seeing, exploring and understanding by himself is far more profound than what others tell him.

When getting along with people, you need a sense of mystery and freshness.

Hongxu is her child. Although he is not her everything, he is one of her important people. She puts pressure on him but also gives him motivation. She hopes that he can live a good life in the future and be as happy as possible.

In fact, being an emperor does not bring much happiness.

Not long after, Hongxu left the palace and found a mansion to live in.

Then he met Zhang Ruoqing by chance.

Thanks to Le Shu's unremitting efforts, although the status of women is not higher than that of men today, it is very different from the situation in the past where women were not allowed to go out of the house and had to marry men as soon as they saw their arms.

Nowadays, it is common for unmarried women to go out and attend mixed poetry readings and flower-viewing banquets.

It was by chance that Hongxu met Zhang Ruoqing.

Zhang Ruoqing: "Meet the Fourth Prince."

Hongxu raised his eyebrows: "How do you know it's me?"

"Chang is the Queen's last name. I once heard my uncle mention the Fourth Prince's last name, Chang Rongyu. I think I have some ability to distinguish it."

Yinzhen thought Rongyu was nice, so her nickname became his courtesy name.

Hongxu smiled: "Miss Zhang is a frank person."

Zhang Ruoqing looked calm: "It's the Fourth Prince who has no intention of hiding anything."

She always knew what she wanted. In fact, she was the first one to stop binding feet among the girls in the Zhang family. This was ordered by Zhang Tingyu, the head of the family. Her mother had some complaints about this, but she could not bear the head of the family's orders.

As the eldest daughter of the third wife, Zhang Ruoqing learned things differently from her married aunts and grandmothers. She learned things that only boys would learn, and as soon as the women's courtyard appeared, she entered it.

Now that she saw the young man named Chang Rongyu appear in front of her, she knew that it was time to make a choice.

Maybe because he looked too calm, Hongxu was curious: "You don't seem surprised that I showed up?"

"What I have learned since childhood is that if I cannot be a minister, I will be a queen."

This surprised Hongxu, both at her honesty and at the content of her honesty. He then thought of Zhang Tingyu and couldn't help laughing: "It's no wonder that the Emperor said that Mr. Zhang would be a good official and could always understand the emperor's heart. Now that I see Miss Zhang, I feel that what the Emperor said is right."

Zhang Tingyu's vision is truly amazing.

Following Yinzhen, she probably sensed his thoughts, which were intermarriage between Manchus and Han people on the one hand, and improving the status of women on the other.

Just to be a minister? To be the queen?

Zhang Tingyu made preparations for both scenarios.

He really had a good idea, to train a future queen for the Qing Dynasty who would speak frankly to him. He could even say that if Zhang Ruoqing married him, her heart would definitely be with him and would never be with her parents' family.

Her upbringing was very different from that of today's noble ladies. He thought that the Zhang family must have taught her to consider things from the perspective of her husband's family in the future. She represented not the Zhang family's daughter, but the Han people.

Whether or not the situation of people with Han Chinese identity can be resolved depends on what Zhang Ruoqing does in the future.

Even if she could not give birth, or the child she gave birth to was not a son, she would certainly fully cooperate with the royal family to support a son born by a Han woman to ascend to the throne.

However, at the age of 15, what she had learned since childhood and what she had to bear were actually no easier than his.

This made Hongxu feel a little bit of pity and a sense of mutual understanding.

"It's not hard to tell what the emperor and empress are thinking. It's just that most people don't have the courage. What's more, the Zhang family is not the only one that educates their girls in this way."

This is the tacit understanding between Han officials and the royal family.

Why did the Zhang family stand out?

Because Zhang Tingyu was indeed very perceptive, he might not know the special relationship between Yinzhen and Le Shu, but he could see that Yinzhen's trust in Le Shu reached the point of "indulgence".

He saw that Le Shu was quite tolerant towards women, so Zhang Ruoqing and even the girls in the Zhang family born after her no longer had to bind their feet.

"I appreciate Miss Zhang's honesty. I may have to bother you for a while in the future."

"Your servant is at your service at any time."

This is the tacit understanding between Hongxu and Zhang Ruo.

In the sixteenth year of Yongzheng's reign, just after the New Year and before the end of the first month of the year, the Empress Dowager was critically ill in Shoukang Palace. The Imperial Hospital issued a notice that there was no way to save her.

Before the Queen Mother died, she first spoke a lot to her favorite youngest son, and finally spoke to Yinzhen alone.

The way she looked at Yinzhen was not like she was looking at a son at all, but even worse than looking at a stranger.

"If I had known this day would come, I would not have allowed you to survive."

Yinzhen looked calm and said, "My Queen Mother won't do that. If it happens again, I will give birth to you again, and you won't hand me over to Empress Xiaoyiren to raise."

"You always speak in such an unpleasant way. It's no wonder that I don't like you."

"Your Majesty, you are wrong. I can say something pleasing, but if Your Majesty doesn't like to hear it, I won't say it. This is my filial piety. Please don't blame me, Your Majesty.

The Queen often told me that there was no reason why the Queen loved her children. No matter whether the children were likable or not, because they were her children, the Queen, who had a kind heart, would love them.

In the past, the Empress Dowager loved my fourteenth brother and ignored me. I was sad and confused. Later, I understood that the Empress Dowager loved no one but me the most. It was just that I bore the humiliation that the Empress Dowager had suffered.

When the fourteenth brother was born, everything went smoothly for the Empress Dowager, and the Emperor doted on her. He represented the glory of the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager did not love the fourteenth brother more than her son, but she loved glory more than humiliation.

Your Majesty, this is human nature. I can see it clearly. So Your Majesty, there is no need to anger me. No matter what, I will not be sad about it. Is Your Majesty satisfied with my answer?"

It was not until after Kangxi's death that Yinzhen realized that she actually didn't love anyone at all. If she really loved Fourteenth Prince, she would have bowed to him even for Fourteenth Prince, but she never did.

Fourteen, that’s all.

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother widened her eyes, and finally closed them helplessly.

She wanted to pierce his heart before she died, so she couldn't blame him for making her die with regret.

The mother-child relationship is like this. We can only say that some people in this world are not born to be mothers and children.

Before her death, Uya wanted to make Yinzhen's life miserable, so she tried to poke him in the heart, but before she could do anything, Yinzhen stabbed her back.

I can only say that they are worthy of being mother and son.

Yinzhen loved his wife and wanted her to live, but hated her and wanted her to die. His character of clearly distinguishing between love and hate was so extreme and strong that Kangxi inherited some of it to him, and Uya also played an important role.

Coming out of the house, Yinzhen calmly changed his expression, his face full of sadness, and then told everyone the fact that the Queen Mother had passed away.

The one who cried the most was Fourteenth, followed by Queen Le Shu. She is good at acting, and as a queen, she has to be filial.

How to show filial piety?

Look how she cries.

After a busy day, Yinzhen looked at her eyes distressedly when he had some free time. "You don't have to cry so sincerely. Learn from me. It's good to be so sad that you can't cry. Let's get sick together tomorrow! Let Hongxu take care of the affairs after the death of the Empress Dowager. I'll take this opportunity to rest for a few more days."

The emperor has no holidays!

Le Shu didn't want to cry either, so she nodded and agreed.

As for Hongxu's opinion?

Those who are capable should work harder, and even if they have opinions, they should keep them to themselves.
