On the way back to Zao Garden, Hongshi appeared calm, but no one knew of the storm raging within him.
Yes, what Mother said is very true.
Back when she was still in the Qian Di, the Imperial Father was merely a Prince.
Suddenly, he became a Prince, and suddenly he became His Majesty.
Although I have never witnessed it, just from one sentence in the history books, one can imagine the bloodshed and turmoil of those days.
That sentence is written like this: In the spring of the fifty-second year of Kangxi, the Emperor toured Jiangnan. The Crown Prince passed away. In June, the Emperor died. The fourth son Yin Zhenn ascended to the throne.
It was not clearly stated which month the journey south started, but let's assume it was late January. By June, the late Crown Prince had passed, and the Emperor died. The Imperial Father thus became an Emperor from a Prince.
