The wish of the Qing Dynasty is fulfilled

Chapter 18 Qi Yuebin Extra (Honghui)

My name is Aisin-Gioro Honghui. I am my father’s eldest son. Since childhood, I have been best friends with my younger sister Huaiyu, who is only five days younger than me.

People say that we are a natural match. Haha, that's not true. It's obviously because my mother likes to be with Qi's mother too much, which leads to Huaiyu and I being together all day long.

We learned to roll over together, to walk together, and even exchanged toes to chew on each other. If I don’t get close to her, who else can I get close to? My father, whose brain is not very bright sometimes?

When I was six, I fell seriously ill. I had a vague feeling that I was going to die. My mother held me in her arms and cried in the rain. I tried my best to tell her to stop crying and to remember to ask Huaiyu to collect the five taels of silver she owed me after I died. Unfortunately, I had too much to say and didn't have the energy to finish.

Then, like the hero in the storybooks I'd secretly read, Qi E'niang suddenly appeared and roughly stuffed a pill into my mouth. That pill saved my life, but why wasn't such a precious thing enclosed in a brocade box like in the storybooks?

I was choked to death and was still thinking when I saw my mother hugging Qi E'niang and crying, crying as sadly as if her son had died.

……

Mother, please look at me. I'm lying next to you.

Aunt Jixiang came with an umbrella, and Aunt Jianqiu also came running. Watching them crying, laughing, kowtowing and cheering in the heavy rain, I felt like my brain was really burned out.

Qi E'niang carried my mother back to Rongmiyuan, leaving Aunt Jianqiu holding me and continuing to cry and laugh. I also wanted to be held by Qi E'niang. It was not for anything else, but mainly because Aunt Jianqiu's hair bun was flattened by the rain and kept sticking to my face.

I recovered from my illness, but my mother fell ill, and my father was like a fool who wanted to keep things quiet.

I suddenly felt very scared. People say that a son resembles his father. I was afraid that I would be as talkative and useless as my father in the future. Why didn't my mother choose some good genes for me?

Later, my mother became more and more dependent on Qi'er Niang. After I understood what "polishing the mirror" meant in the new storybook, I was terrified, fearing that someone would find out. Fortunately, I was relieved later because it seemed that my mother was just wishful thinking.

But I still feel very sorry. It would be great if Qi E'niang could be my father. I have always dreamed of having a father who is like a hero. Unfortunately, my real father can only hide in the martial arts field and secretly play with a small bow.

Later, when I grew up, my father liked me very much. He even praised me as "good bamboo shoots come from bad bamboo" after drinking one time. I was very happy to hear that and deliberately avoided looking at my father who was making a donkey face next to me.

Unfortunately, Qi E'niang fell ill after Huaiyu got married. I climbed several mountain temples near the capital to pray for her recovery, but to no avail.

My mother watched over Qi's mother every day, and I was afraid that one day... she would die. That evening, while my mother was away attending to some business, Qi's mother called me over.

She touched my head, said "so ugly", then secretly gave me a small paper bag and winked at me.

I really wanted to pull her up like we did when we were children and ask her to take me horseback riding and archery. I wanted to ask her loudly like I used to if she was slacking off again, but my throat felt like it was clogged with cotton wool, making it impossible for me to make a sound. It was not until she raised her hand to wipe it that I realized I was already in tears.

Huaiyu hugged me and cried bitterly, saying that she no longer had a mother. My mother also hugged me and cried bitterly, saying that she no longer had her. I felt a little breathless under the two heavy burdens. I also wanted to cry bitterly because I no longer had a "father".

Although my physical father was by my side, the "father" who was tall, mighty, strong and powerful in my heart and made me feel extremely at ease was gone.

(Xiao Qi: I am so lucky to have you. You are such a filial son!)

Later, my father became the emperor, I became the invisible crown prince, and Huaiyu was also named Princess Gulun, a legitimate daughter.

My mother has suffered from headaches since Qi's mother passed away, but Qi's mother had prepared medicine in the paper bag she stuffed into me. I secretly soaked the medicine in my mother's soup, and sure enough, she no longer had a headache.

But can anyone explain why, after recovering from her headache, she became even more insane, desperately trying to facilitate various selections of concubines for the imperial palace! Her reasons ranged from filling her harem to hosting flower-viewing banquets, and later, she went so far as to invite the daughters of imperial families to the palace to admire the pine nuts!

When the emperor ascended the throne, the national treasury had been stretched to the limit by his father's exploitation. He had just finished robbing two families when the emperor's mother posted an invitation to hold a banquet. The income and expenditure were very balanced. In general, he always kept a clean face.

Although the Emperor is not a very kind person, I am willing to show more concern for him because he is working so hard that he is becoming increasingly thinner to manage my future inheritance. Unfortunately, before I could show him more concern, he exhausted himself.

Seeing a group of imperial physicians gathered around the Emperor's daily golden elixir, I was horrified. This...this ...

With a belated bit of admiration, I silently stood by the emperor's bed, listening to him announce to his ministers that I would succeed him after his death, and listening to him give me many instructions.

You will develop feelings for a dog if you raise it for many years, let alone such a big dog. My tears were about to fall when they were forced back by my brave mother.

Taking advantage of the moment when everyone had left and only my father and I were talking, the Empress Dowager, who was so worried about the emperor's health that she could not stand steadily, made a surprise attack, changed her clothes and jumped in from the window. She picked up the pillow and suffocated the shocked and speechless Emperor Father, and jumped out of the window again without even looking at me.

!!!

So what kind of medicine did Qi E Niang leave me that allowed the Empress Dowager to still have such skills at her age? Is it too late for me to take it now?

Before I could think clearly, Su Peisheng, who had been hiding behind the bed curtains, pushed open the door and screamed, "The Emperor has passed away!"

I watched this servant with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who had betrayed the emperor at some point, talking nonsense to others in a serious tone, saying that he had just served the emperor with a golden elixir, and the emperor collapsed without even being able to catch his breath!

The useless imperial doctors studied it for a while and all nodded to confirm that the emperor died of suffocation. I was left standing there doubting my life, and when I came to my senses, I had become the new emperor.

Only when you're in charge of a household do you know how expensive firewood, rice, oil, and salt are; only when you're an emperor do you know how poor the treasury is. I'm the emperor! I knelt and begged my mother for half an hour before she stopped her plan to fill my harem. There's no other way. I'm so poor now that I have money to marry but no money to support her.

My mother's temples were already gray, and I knew she was unhappy, deceiving herself by summoning all kinds of young women just to find someone similar. But the person is gone, and the living are like this. I really can't bear to see my mother continue to be crazy for the rest of her life.

It’s definitely not because I don’t want to spend money to support many concubines!
