Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu
Chapter 81: Conflict with Confucians
Perhaps because Hewan's governess, Nanny Gao, was far away from home, what she did was even more excessive and she was blatantly extorting money.
But for various reasons, He Wan still gave in everywhere. Such compromise did not make Grandma Gao feel grateful and restrain herself, but instead made her become even worse.
The sensitive Hewan could not bear the humiliation, and her health deteriorated, but she seemed to have walked into a dead end and could not find a way to escape.
Hong Zhou never expected that his daughter would face such a situation.
However, the case of He Wanlanxin was not an isolated case. Most of the princesses in the Qing Dynasty had short lives, which was probably related to the maids who took care of them.
Hong Zhou gritted his teeth and said, "Tell me! What do you want to do? I will definitely destroy that stubborn slave!"
Everyone was overjoyed to hear Hong Zhou agreed. With Hong Zhou, things would be twice as easy to accomplish.
Next is Qianlong.
In fact, this matter is very simple. You have to hit the snake at its most vulnerable part.
There is no time to lose, let's go to the palace today.
Hong Zhou changed out of his shroud and prepared to go into the palace with them.
Yongbi was a little surprised when he saw this. Is the funeral not going to be held?
Great \^O^/
He is a descendant of the royal family and he really can't afford to cry every day.
"Father, this funeral..."
"Let's withdraw. I won't do it anymore. I have something important to do!"
"Okay! Ama!"
"What are you happy about! Your sister is about to die, and you're still happy!" Hong Zhou suddenly yelled angrily.
He is in a bad mood now and can't help but curse at the dogs on the roadside.
"Huh?" Yongbi looked confused. What happened to his sister?
Although we don’t contact each other often, didn’t you write to me a few days ago saying that everything was fine?
Yongbi was totally confused.
But he has always loved He Wan, so he naturally wanted to get to the bottom of it.
Hong Zhou quickly mounted his horse and disappeared in a flash.
Fu Kang'an, He Xi and others followed closely behind. Hailancha explained to Yongbi before leaving.
Upon hearing this, Yongbi immediately asked the butler to lead the horse. Where did this evil servant come from? He really wants to die!
The sound arrived before Hong Zhou's people arrived.
In the imperial study room.
Qianlong was diligently reviewing memorials when he suddenly heard Hongzhou's angry cursing and crying.
Qianlong's face suddenly darkened. Could it be that Hongzhou really intended to hold a funeral in the imperial study?
"Brother Emperor!"
"Aisin Gioro Hongzhou! You'd better be in trouble!" Qianlong said dangerously with his eyes narrowed.
Hong Zhou paused for a moment, but immediately came to his senses again when he thought of his suffering daughter.
At worst, he could go and hide with the Queen Mother.
When Hongzhou was a child, he was raised by the Empress Dowager for a period of time. The Empress Dowager also had a good relationship with Hongzhou's mother Geng. Therefore, whenever Hongzhou did something wrong and made Emperor Qianlong angry, he would definitely go to the Empress Dowager to hide, and this happened every time.
"Royal brother! It's a big deal! My He Wan!"
Qianlong listened to Hongzhou's crying, and it was obvious that he had no idea that Hewan's situation was so miserable.
Qianlong never paid much attention to his own daughters, except Hejing and Hexi.
He Jing had a strong personality, so he would naturally take good care of and educate the nanny. He Xi had not yet married, so he didn't know much about these things.
Qianlong tapped his fingers on the imperial desk a few times. He roughly guessed the purpose of Hongzhou's mobilization of troops this time.
But this is far from as easy as imagined.
First of all, abolishing ancestral rites and laws is itself a heretical act.
Secondly, there are too many interests behind the nanny, and many people would definitely oppose it if it were abolished.
To put it bluntly, Qianlong found it troublesome.
Hong Zhou certainly knew his brother's character, but he also had his own trump card.
"Royal brother, this matter is not just about Hewan. Don't forget, your daughter is about to get married." Hong Zhou muttered in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft.
When Qianlong heard this, he felt very uncomfortable.
I immediately thought of the gentle and sensible He Xi being bullied by those evil slaves. How could I tolerate this?
Seeing Qianlong's expression, Hong Zhou knew that most of the matter was settled.
As expected, people only care about something when it concerns themselves.
Just like Hewan to Hongzhou and Hexi to Qianlong.
At this moment, He Xi and others also arrived.
It was obvious that Hong Zhou was very angry this time. He ran so fast that they couldn't catch up with him even if they rode their horses.
He Xi didn't expect that as soon as he arrived, most of the things would be done without any further explanation.
"Huang Ama."
"Xi'er, you don't have to say anything. I will consider educating the nanny. There are indeed disadvantages here."
He Xi: This is the first time I feel like winning without any effort.
Qianlong couldn't help but start a conspiracy theory. Was it for this reason that those frail and sickly princesses died young?
If that's true, then they really deserve to die.
Qianlong ordered people to investigate to find out how many evil slaves had held the princess hostage and how many evil servants were so bold as to commit crimes against their superiors.
He had known nothing about this before. After all, strictly speaking, this was a girl's business.
If Hexi and Qing'er had not acted on a whim today and accidentally ran into the cunning slave, and dug out the radish and exposed the pit, I'm afraid that many more princesses would have been persecuted.
"Thank you, uncle."
He Xi sincerely thanked Hong Zhou. If it weren’t for Hong Zhou, this matter might not have gone so smoothly.
"Haha, no need to thank me. Strictly speaking, I should thank you, my niece." Hong Zhou patted He Xi's shoulder cheerfully, luckily avoiding any internal injuries.
"?" He Xi thought Hong Zhou was thanking her for bringing him news about He Wan.
Actually, it’s neither, it’s only half and half.
"My brother loves you very much, so he won't tolerate any mistakes."
He Xi looked at Hong Zhou's departing back in silence.
"Xi'er."
"Fukang'an, I feel so lucky." He Xi suddenly sighed.
"I have a royal father and mother who love me, a royal mother, and I met a group of like-minded friends, and I also met you..."
He Xi was rarely sentimental. Looking at the sunset in the sky, a satisfied smile appeared on her lips.
Fukang'an grabbed Hexi's hand and tightened it slightly.
Once people stop looking only at what they don’t have or what they have lost, life will become brighter.
The next day.
Qianlong was a man of action. After seeing the drawbacks of raising nannies, he cut the Gordian knot and announced its abolition at an early morning court.
If nothing else, there will be an accident.
Censor Wang stepped forward with a dark face and objected.
"Your Majesty, think twice. Raising a nanny is a rule passed down by our ancestors. It would be disrespectful to abolish it hastily."
"Humph, you little jerk, if someone didn't know, they would think your wife is a nanny!"
Hong Zhou came to the morning court on time today for the first time ever, just to debate with the scholars.
"you……"
"What do you mean by 'you'? Did I guess it right?" Hong Zhou said sarcastically with full firepower.
"It was the prince who suggested it."
"So what if it's me? This outdated custom should be abolished as soon as possible."
"Hmph, Your Majesty, aren't you afraid of being embarrassed to face our ancestors?" Censor Wang retorted.
"I am not afraid of anything! In any case, this governess should be dismissed!" Hong Zhou said firmly. These pedantic people who are full of etiquette are really annoying.
It doesn't hurt unless the knife cuts the body. God knows how much he feels for his He Wan and how much injustice she has suffered, which made a healthy person become depressed and bedridden.
And in the final analysis, the nanny is undoubtedly the culprit.
Qianlong remained silent, watching the verbal battle in the hall, the darkness in his eyes becoming darker.
Heshen was a powerful figure and he saw Qianlong's anger.
"Your Majesty, I think the nanny is..."
