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

The words "They are slaves and you are the master" greatly inspired me.

I coughed lightly, placed the book in front of my stomach with one hand, put the other hand behind my back, and walked past the servants who were lowering their heads and bending their backs with my head held high and my chest puffed out.

When I saw the fear and confusion on the faces of those servants, an inexplicable excitement rose in my heart.

This excitement is called desire, and it comes from the desire for recognition of my identity as a prince.

I am a prince, I can scold, beat, and even sell these slaves!

They should crawl and sink and float before me!

When we passed by completely, I finally completed the recognition of my own identity.

Concubine Hua followed behind me and was very pleased with my changes.

When we were alone, she said to me earnestly, "Fourth Prince, if anyone bullies you, just tell me and I will stand up for you."

I looked at Concubine Hua in surprise. Her beautiful and flamboyant face showed her blatant favoritism towards me.

Yes, it is protection.

This is something I have never seen in anyone since I grew up, not even in my own father, the Emperor.

Can I really be protected?

Concubine Hua seemed to see my hesitation and patted my shoulder heavily.

"Fourth Prince, don't be afraid. I'll support you."

I nodded doubtfully.

But in my heart, I am still wary of Concubine Hua.

Summer is over.

My father is preparing to return to the palace.

He still didn't let me see him, and I was very sad.

While I was hesitant, I told Concubine Hua.

Firstly, she wanted to see her father with a glimmer of hope, and secondly, she wanted to see whether what Hua Fei said before was true.

If she really protected me, if she was a good person, she should let me see my father.

"You want to see your father? It's not difficult. I will arrange it for you."

There were not as many complications as she had imagined, and Concubine Hua agreed readily.

I still can't completely trust Concubine Hua.

Didn't hold much hope for her.

However, the next morning, the fierce Songzhi quietly took me to a secluded place on the lake.

I saw my father there.

He was standing with his hands behind his back, next to the lake.

Hearing the footsteps, he turned around and saw me. There was no smile on his serious face, and there was a flash of surprise in his eyes.

"Hongli?" There was a questioning tone in his voice.

I heard him call my name, and I quickly took a few steps forward, brushed my skirt, and knelt on the ground.

"Son, I pay my respects to the Emperor."

"Your voice is quite loud. Get up and let me take a good look at you."

My father's voice became much softer.

I quickly stood up and looked up at him.

He looked me up and down, then nodded seriously.

"He has grown stronger and taller."

He patted my shoulder heavily and asked me about my homework.

I answered them one by one seriously.

"Very good, not bad." The father smiled approvingly.

Looking back now, that smile seemed so perfunctory.

But for me at that time, it was already a great gift from heaven.

Because this is the first time since I grew up that I have spoken to my father at such a close distance.

"Father, are you going back so soon?"

I am very reluctant to see my father return to the palace.

"Yes, it is convenient for me to handle government affairs in the palace."

"Well, father, please take care of yourself." If possible, please come and visit your son more often.

I didn't say the following sentence.

I was ten years old at that time.

I read impatience in my father's eyes.

My father said a few more words, told me to listen carefully to the nanny, and then turned and left.

Looking at my father's back as he walked away, I felt an indescribable sense of loss.

However, I am still very grateful to Concubine Hua for arranging this meeting.

So, I went to thank Concubine Hua specially.

Hua Fei looked at me and suddenly asked, "Do you really want to see your father every day?"

I looked up in shock.

How could she know what I was thinking?

I looked at her without comment and nodded slowly.

Hua Fei curled her lips and smiled, touching my head.

"I will think of a solution for you."

I asked anxiously, "What's the solution?"

Hua Fei smiled and said, "Keep it a secret."

Hearing her ambiguous answer, the fire of hope that had just ignited in me was extinguished bit by bit.

If my father missed me and cared about me, he would have brought me back to the palace long ago.

Why did you leave me here in the Old Summer Palace and ignore me for so many years?

I told myself not to hold out any hope so as not to cause greater disappointment.

I thanked Concubine Hua respectfully, said a few polite words and left.

Up to this point, I am still the Fourth Prince that no one cares about.

However, the palace maids and eunuchs in the Old Summer Palace no longer dared to speak coldly to me.

Whenever I am in a good mood, I will glare at them coldly.

"You guys don't want to do this kind of work, but there are naturally many people who want to do it among the people."

I know that all the palace maids and eunuchs want to cling to a powerful person and find a big tree.

However, in the Old Summer Palace, I am the only prince with the most distinguished status.

If they were disrespectful to me, I could just punish them.

Some of the people outside are hungry and want to come in and find work.

The difference in my temper before and after also greatly changed the attitude of those servants who used to bully me.

From then on, they treated me as their master with great respect.

As time went by, I forgot about it, or to be more precise, I gave up the idea of ​​returning to the palace.

However, one day, a young eunuch in the palace brought an exciting news: Concubine Hua is going to bring me back to the palace!

I couldn't believe my ears.

He repeatedly asked the young eunuch who came from the palace whether the news was true.

The young eunuch knelt on the ground and spoke word by word.

"Fourth Prince, the news is indeed true. But Concubine Hua told you not to make it public and just make preparations in secret."

I suppressed my inner ecstasy and asked him to tell Concubine Hua that I would definitely keep a low profile.

There was no hope.

But one day, hope suddenly came, which made me even more restless.

What if Concubine Hua suddenly breaks her promise?

What if something goes wrong in the middle?

What should I do if my father doesn't agree to let me return to the palace?

All kinds of bad thoughts are running through my mind like strong winds and huge waves.

It was not until a carriage from the palace took me to the magnificent and majestic palace that I was sure that Concubine Hua was not deceiving me.

Not only did she arrange a bedroom for me to live in, but she also allowed me to meet my father.

In front of my father, I told him my thoughts after reading "Zizhi Tongjian".

My father, the emperor, was very pleased and praised me.

"Hua Fei said that you should let me personally test your homework. I am very pleased with your test."

"Hongli, you make father proud."
