After Hua Fei was reborn, she became the white moonlight of Pangju

When spring comes and flowers bloom, news comes from the northwest.

Prince Guo encountered a snowstorm while building fortifications and unfortunately died.

The emperor was sad for a long time because he lost a rare brother with whom he had a good relationship.

Of course, what is even more sad is that Fuhui’s body can never be found.

There were constant disputes over the crown prince in the previous dynasty.

However, the emperor already has a suitable candidate.

In the eighth year of Yongzheng's reign, the emperor promoted Zhen Huan to Noble Consort Xi.

The Queen, who was in Jingren Palace, knew that Zhen Huan fell seriously ill after being named a noble concubine.

Even so, the emperor did not go to visit.

In the ninth year of Yongzheng's reign, the empress died of depression in Jingren Palace.

In the eleventh year of Yongzheng's reign, the emperor conferred the title of Prince Bao on Hongli.

The situation in the court is clear, and both the former and harem know that Prince Bao will inherit the throne.

After all, Yongzheng's third prince had already been removed by Yudie and had no chance to compete for the throne again.

The remaining princes are all very young and cannot be entrusted with important tasks.

Time flies.

One day, Prince Bao was called to the Yangxin Palace.

The emperor lay on the bed, looking haggard.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to your Majesty."

Prince Bao knelt on the ground to pay his respects, then slowly raised his head.

He only recently had the opportunity to take a good look at his father.

It turned out that my father already had white hair and many more wrinkles on his face.

The once majestic and terrifying man is now just a skinny old man.

Prince Bao was sad.

"Hongli, my father doesn't have much time left. You are already familiar with military and political affairs, so I don't need to say more. But there is one thing you must help me accomplish."

Prince Bao kowtowed, "I will obey your orders, Father."

The emperor looked at the ceiling, tears rolling down his eyes.

"After a hundred years, I must bury Imperial Noble Consort Dunsu with me."

Prince Bao thought that the emperor would tell him some confidential matters.

I didn't expect it to be this.

He knew that his father favored the late Imperial Noble Consort Dunshu, so such a request could be granted.

"Don't worry, father. I will definitely do it!"

The emperor smiled with relief.

"Although the Nian family cannot be reused, we should not treat them unfairly."

The emperor mentioned the Nian family again.

Prince Bao thought that the Nian family had been liquidated when Nian Gengyao fell from power. Now the Nian family was not a big deal, and there was no threat if they were treated well.

So he also agreed to the emperor's request.

In fact, the emperor has always treated the Nian family with favor over the years.

When Nian Gengyao's father, the emperor's father-in-law, passed away, he went to the mourning hall to burn incense in person.

Later, the emperor promoted and reused Nian Gengyao's elder brother Nian Xiyao.

Nian Xiyao eventually held such important positions as Vice Minister of Works, Director General of the Imperial Household Department, and Left Censor-in-Chief.

"I will definitely do everything that the emperor has entrusted to me."

"Okay, okay... I have nothing to do, you can go down."

"Yes, I will retire."

After Prince Bao walked out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he looked back and saw a flash of pity in the eyes of the old man in the hall.

He heard from Concubine Xi that the emperor had used Concubine Dunsu's family in order to gain power.

Afterwards, he did the same thing again.

After all, Noble Consort Dunshu was just a pawn.

He had never imagined that his father would fall in love with a chess piece he had played, and even wanted to be buried together with him after death.

Thinking of Imperial Noble Consort Dunshu, he also sighed.

If she hadn't brought me from the Old Summer Palace to the palace, I might not be who I am now.

Thinking of this, Prince Bao felt that after he ascended the throne, he must bury Imperial Noble Consort Dunsu and his father properly together.

Just imagine, which woman in the harem wouldn’t want to be buried with the emperor?

However, according to ancestral rules, only the queen was qualified.

The fact that Imperial Noble Consort Dunsu was buried with the emperor shows that she was very much favored by the emperor.

Prince Bao strode forward. He felt that as an emperor, he should not fall in love with anyone.

The more women in the harem, the better, but never favor only one.

----

In the thirteenth year of Yongzheng's reign, the emperor was critically ill.

Zhen Huan, Prince Bao, Shen Meizhuang and others all knelt on the bed.

"Noble Concubine Xi, come here."

Zhen Huan crawled over on her knees and held the emperor's hand.

"Your Majesty, please tell me."

The emperor turned his head and looked at Zhen Huan, "Let Imperial Noble Consort Dunsu be buried with me. Don't have any grudges."

Zhen Huan said: "The Imperial Concubine treats me very well, and I am always grateful."

The emperor held Zhen Huan's hand with relief, "That's good, that's good......."

He looked over Zhen Huan's shoulder and towards Prince Bao, "Hongli, I'll leave it to you."

Zhen Huan nodded, her eyes red.

"Your Majesty, I will take good care of Hongli."

"Okay, Huanhuan, I'm at ease with your work."

The emperor turned his head and Hua Fei's face suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Once you have seen the sea, all other waters are but puddles; except for Mount Wushan, you are no match for me! Shilan, oh Shilan, why did you leave me?"

Zhen Huan noticed that the emperor's eyes were dazed and realized something was wrong.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is..." gone.

Prince Bao grabbed Zhen Huan's sleeve and signaled her to stop talking.

Only then did Zhen Huan notice that the emperor had fallen into a state of wandering and last-minute lucidity before death.

Watching the emperor laughing and crying at the same time, Zhen Huan's last bit of sympathy disappeared.

It turns out that in this man's heart, apart from Concubine Hua, there is no place for herself at all.

----

An unknown grassland somewhere in the northwest.

A group of hunters who had rushed back from the town market were gathering in a teahouse to chat.

"I heard that the emperor passed away. No wonder the county government offices are all hung with white silk."

"But this emperor is very strange."

"How strange?"

"He actually asked to be buried with the late Imperial Noble Consort Dunsu!"

"Since ancient times, the emperor and empress have always been buried together. How could concubines have a place?"

"I guess the emperor must love the imperial concubine very much to do this."

Everyone discussed it and came to their own conclusion.

In the corner of the tea shop, there was a woman with silver hair and a handsome boy.

She stood up, walked to the boss, paid the money, and turned to leave with the boy.

Behind him, he could still hear people discussing the story of the emperor and Consort Dunsu.

The boy looked at the man beside him and called softly,

"Mother, do you still hate him?"

The woman stopped, looked in the direction of the capital, and shook her head.

"No more hatred."

She turned around, stroked the boy's head and smiled gently.

"Since I have you, nothing else matters anymore."

The mother and son were walking side by side when suddenly a fast horse came from a distance.

After the boy saw the person in the front, he opened his arms and cheered.

"Uncle, we are here!"

"coming!"

Prince Guo waved his whip and rode his horse quickly towards them.

When the boy was almost there, Prince Guo pulled the reins, then dismounted and handed the rope to the young man.

"Afu, do you remember the horse riding tips I taught you?"

"Remember." Ah Fu nodded.

"Then I'll leave the horse to you." Prince Guo knew that Ah Fu couldn't wait any longer.

Ah Fu climbed onto the horse, looked at Nian Shilan and said, "Mother, my son must win first place in the horse riding competition next month."

Nian Shilan smiled and said, "Mother, I believe you can do it!"

"Gee!" The young man Ah Fu rode away on his horse.

Prince Guo looked at Nian Shilan with a smile on his face.

"We have our own horse ranch and grassland now, so you can ride horses as long as you want!"

Nian Shilan looked at the unshaven, tanned man in front of her, feeling a mixture of emotions.

In the past few years, no matter how people tried to drive him away, he refused to leave. He went from being a high and mighty prince to a wild man on the grassland.

"My Lord, you have suffered."

Prince Guo smiled heartily.

"Shilan, you know, I volunteered."
