Chapter 95 Liu An
Author: Mei Xinyuan
That day, after Haifeng finished class with Chen Shuyi, she was so emotional that she couldn't calm down for a long time.
It turns out that being born in an imperial family is so helpless and terrifying.
Did Kangxi really regard them as his own flesh and blood?
In other words, they have become chess pieces and each other's opponents from the moment they were born.
Before time travel, there were always some small animals in the kindergarten where Haifeng worked.
Cats, dogs, fish, birds, etc. are shown to the students and occasionally exercise their hands-on skills.
During class just now, Chen Shuyi's instructions reminded Haifeng of a nest of little birds, all with their mouths wide open, waiting for their mother to feed them.
Whoever cries the loudest will get the bait first.
Now, these children, whose oldest were thirteen or fourteen and whose youngest was one or two years old, were standing in the pit in the Forbidden City, waiting for Kangxi to come and feed them.
Among them, whoever climbs up first will have food to eat; the rest will be starved to the point of weakness.
She stood motionless on the long street of the Forbidden City. She didn't want to go to the prince's place to do business, nor did she want to go back to her brother's place to rest.
She doesn't want to go anywhere.
Here, perhaps only the mother truly loves her.
But mother, she will leave the palace soon.
As expected, Imperial Concubine Tong couldn't hold it any longer and had already obtained the little man who cursed her mother through Ginkgo.
Qingmei also followed the instructions and used her position as a floor tile cleaner to bury the things in her mother's residence.
Xiaozhuang got all the evidence, and when Kangxi left for the southern tour on September 28th and was not in the palace, she could make a decision alone and attack Concubine Tong.
Haifeng wanted to see her mother, but she didn't dare to go.
It took a lot of effort to get the guarantee letter and reassure her.
If she sees her wavering, she might refuse to leave.
It would be nice if Duobu was here.
Even if you don't say a word, just hold his strong arm and cuddle for a while, your heart can find its home.
Everything is going well, but why is it so empty, as if nothing has been grasped, and cold?
Beside her today were A Xiang and Aunt Sai Lun. Seeing Haifeng's loss, they hesitantly stepped forward to comfort her.
"Gege, if you feel uncomfortable, it's okay if we don't go to Prince An Fujin's place today. I'll go and ask for leave for you."
"Then, mama, let's go. I want to go to the small Buddhist hall to stay for a while and recite sutras. As long as Axiang can accompany me."
"yes."
After sending Sister Sai Lun away, Haifeng took Axiang and had a private conversation in the small Buddhist hall.
The fragrant smell of the burning spices here, as well as the memories of conversations with her great-uncle, can bring her some warm security.
"Master, are you feeling sad?"
"Axiang, how do you know?"
"Because when I was sad at home, I also liked to talk to a statue of Guanyin. I begged the Bodhisattva to save me from suffering and let me leave the fire pit at home. Then, then, I entered the palace and met you!"
Haifeng looked at Axiang's excited little face and felt a little better.
Although she did not have the memory of rebirth like herself, Axiang's loyalty and consideration for her remained unchanged.
Her dependence and closeness to Axiang have also been completely preserved.
There was a question that Haifeng had always wanted to ask, but he kept his boundaries and never asked.
But today, she couldn't help it.
"Axiang, have you ever resented your Amma?"
"Master, there is not a day that goes by when this slave doesn't resent him."
Ah Xiang knelt down in front of the Buddha, with tears in her eyes, and raised three fingers to swear.
"Even if gods and Buddhas want me to go to hell, be burned by fire, or fried in oil, I won't change my mind. When I see the King of Hell, I just say a word and bring him here! Why, because he is Amma, he can torture us?"
A few children were beaten, scolded, and denied food, and they made us work to support them! We worked day and night just to have a bowl of gruel; he stole the money, went out to whoring, and went out to gamble, how long?
Remember, several of your biological children are about to starve to death!"
Haifeng was so shocked that she was speechless by her extreme anger and determination.
In comparison, my own depression seems a bit meaningless.
Kangxi just didn't love her and used her instead of torturing her.
If this exists, then that exists; if this arises, then that arises; if this does not exist, then that does not exist; if this ceases, then that ceases.
When I accepted the identity of Si Gege and accepted the care and love of my mother, the responsibilities and obligations of the princess naturally followed.
In this Buddhist hall, when she rejected Duobu's proposal to elope and was determined to get the princess's title and dowry from Kangxi's pocket, she could no longer shrink back.
You can't want the benefits of the princess, but also dislike the Tian family's weak family ties, and engage in intrigues.
At least she got some gains and rights as compensation. In this life, she also had Mr. Chen and the Chen family behind her to help her. Things were going great, so what were she doing here complaining about herself?
If Kangxi didn't love her as a daughter, it would be fine if she didn't love Kangxi as a father. If he wanted to use her, then he should use her back generously.
"Axiang, I want to think about something here. Go out and watch for me, and don't let anyone in."
"Yes, please don't worry, Master."
After Axiang went out, Haifeng sat down on the futon. The posture was ugly, but very comfortable.
I haven't been so bold in a long time.
According to Chen Shuyi, Kangxi spent a lot of effort in his early years to get rid of the control of the Shangsanqi nobles and grasp the real power in his hands.
But this isn't permanent.
Only when people he trusts are placed in key positions in the army and court can this matter be truly completed.
Therefore, he spent great efforts to cultivate the princes, hoping that in the future his sons would become talented and kick off those old bones.
The princes went to the study room to attend high-pressure classes in order to become an excellent minister in the future.
This is the crux.
The monarch and his ministers and father and son, one is interests and the other is family affection, just like water and oil, they cannot blend together.
Throughout history, interests will definitely prevail over family ties in the end.
The temptation of power is too great.
The feeling of brotherhood becomes even weaker after being worn away, as you can see by looking at the incident of Li Shimin killing his brother and taking the throne.
Even if he himself doesn't want to do it, those who follow him will do it.
Brothers are first life-and-death political enemies, and then family members.
The prince, from the day he turned one year old and was canonized as crown prince, was destined to end in tragedy.
Chen Shuyi's judgment is that whoever successfully suppresses all forces in the future and firmly holds the imperial power in his hands can Kangxi truly rest assured and pass on the throne.
It's just that now, he and the prince are still young and still have some emotions left, so Kangxi still feels that he can do what Zhu Yuanzhang failed to do, create a perfect prince with his own hands, and then let him ascend the throne.
To put it calmly, the hope is extremely slim.
This is too idealistic.
Perhaps the biggest mistake she made in her previous life was that she was lax and failed to notice that the elder brother Duobu stood too early.
While she was settling in the inner house, the existence of their couple had been discussed many times in the prince's palace.
Married at the age of twelve, Haifeng's personal relationships with any of her elder brothers were very shallow and they were only polite on various occasions.
In this life, how should she plan to remain invincible?
