A fairy from various TV dramas and movies travels through time, starting with Consort Fucha.

Chapter 149 Noble Lady Fucha's Residence

At this moment, Hongshi said to Hongchang:

"Sixth Brother, Little Tiger is right, this matter is indeed dangerous."

If we were to accidentally cause you harm, how would we explain it to your mother, Shu'er?

Hongchang saw that Hongshi also advised him, and after hesitating for a moment, he gave up his plan to climb the tree.

He said to Xiaohuzi, "Xiaohuzi, go and take the bird's nest down, be careful."

Little Tiger breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This servant will go right away."

Xiao Huzi walked a few steps to the tree.

With agility like a monkey, he easily climbed the tree in the blink of an eye.

He moved quickly and efficiently, and in no time he successfully took down the bird's nest that was hanging high on the branch.

Then, Little Tiger, carrying the bird's nest, carefully slid down the tree trunk to the ground.

After he landed safely, he carefully handed the bird's nest to Hongchang.

Hongchang happily accepted the bird's nest and gently parted the dry grass covering it.

Suddenly, several fluffy baby birds with pale yellow beaks came into view.

These little guys don't seem to know what's going on.

It simply opened its little mouth instinctively and made a series of clear and melodious chirping sounds.

Seeing this, Wen Yi and Shu He, who had been curiously watching from the side, quickly came closer to find out what was going on.

Their eyes were fixed on the baby birds in the nest, their expressions filled with wonder and affection.

Hongchang carefully handed the bird's nest to Wenyi, asking expectantly:

"Sister Wenyi, don't you think these little birds are cute? Do you like them?"

Wen Yi's bright eyes sparkled with excitement as she stretched out a hand.

He gently touched the soft feathers of one of the chicks, then smiled.

She smiled sweetly and replied:

"These little birds are so cute!"

"Sister Shuhe, come quick!"

Shuhe looked over at the sound and saw several fluffy, round baby birds in the nest, their feathers not yet fully grown.

Its pink little mouth opened and closed, chattering away, which was truly endearing.

Shuhe's lips involuntarily curled up slightly.

But after a short while, Shuhe frowned slightly and said softly:

"Although these birds are indeed very cute, I think we should just look at them and be done with it."

After all, if they are separated from their parents for a long time, their parents will definitely worry.

After listening to Shuhe's words, Hongchang thought about them carefully and found them to be very reasonable.

However, he originally got these little birds to make Wenyi happy.

Hongshi chimed in, "Yes, Sixth Brother, let's hurry up and put the bird's nest back where it is."

So as not to worry the baby bird's parents.

Hongchang thought for a moment and said, "Then let's take a good look first, and when we've seen enough..."

Then let Little Tiger put them back on the tree.

"What do you think, Wenyi?"

Wen Yi nodded, "Yes, that's right, let's just take a look."

Wenyi and Shuhe together stroked the little bird's downy feathers.

He touched the little bird's pointed beak.

After a long while, the two were finally satisfied.

Hongchang, seeing that the two sisters had looked at each other enough, called over Xiaohuzi and said...

"Little Tiger, be careful when you put this bird's nest back in its place."

Little Tiger replied respectfully, "Yes, Your Highness, this servant will be careful."

Little Tiger then gently picked up the bird's nest again, preparing to put it back on the tree.

Hongli watched as Hongchang and the others fussed over a few small birds.

What nonsense! They're just a few little birds. Keep them if you like.

They even want to send it back; what hypocrisy!

However, this guy named Xiao Huzi next to Hongchang is really skilled.

Consort Shu truly lives up to her noble birth; she has many capable subordinates.

It's really enviable.

Shuhe watched as Xiaohuzi carried the bird's nest back to the big tree.

"These little birds are so cute, I'll draw a picture of them when I get home."

Hongchang looked at Shuhe with anticipation and said:

"Sister Shuhe's drawing of the baby birds must be so lifelike, just like the real thing!"

Shuhe smiled gently and replied, "Once I finish drawing it, I'll give it to you, Sixth Brother."

Upon hearing this, Hongchang's eyes lit up, and he excitedly shouted:

"Really? That's wonderful!"

I will definitely cherish it.

Just then, Hongzhou suddenly spotted a brightly colored...

Beautiful butterflies fluttered past them.

He quickly turned to Wen Yi beside him and said:

"Wenyi, look! There's a butterfly over there. Isn't it beautiful?"

Fifth Brother will help you catch it, okay?

Wen Yi's big, watery eyes lit up instantly.

She clapped her hands happily and laughed, responding in a sweet voice:

"Okay, thank you, Fifth Brother."

Hongzhou was once again charmed by Wenyi's smile.

So Hongzhou ran excitedly toward the butterfly, wanting to catch it.

However, the butterfly seemed to be deliberately teasing Hongzhou, sometimes flying high,

Then it suddenly dropped, making it impossible for Hongzhou to reach it.

Seeing this scene, Hongchang, Hongshi, and Shuhe were all drawn over.

Join Hongzhou in surrounding and stopping this mischievous butterfly.

As for Hongli, he really thought Hongchang and the others were very childish.

But in order not to stand out from the crowd, I pretended to follow them as they chased the butterfly.

Hongzhou leaped high into the air, reaching out to grab it with all his might.

Success was within reach, but then, by some unforeseen accident...

He slipped and fell forward into the flower bushes beside him.

This sudden scene startled everyone at first, but after they came to their senses, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Hongzhou stood up from the flowerbed somewhat disheveled, his body covered in petals and dirt.

The clothes that were once clean and tidy are now filthy.

His hands were empty.

He muttered a complaint under his breath:

"Oh dear, what a pity!"

"How could I not catch such a beautiful butterfly..."

Wen Yi stepped forward, took out a handkerchief, and wiped the dust off Hong Zhou's face, saying:

"Fifth Brother, how could you be so reckless?"

Hongzhou scratched his head and grinned foolishly.

The siblings spent half a day chasing butterflies in the Imperial Garden and had quite a bit of fun.

The next morning, just as the eastern sky was beginning to lighten with the first hint of dawn,

The sky was still somewhat dark, but Hongchang had already woken up from his sleep precisely at the hour of Yin, as was the established rule.

Little Tiger, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Hongchang get up.

He hurriedly gestured to the eunuch to bring water so that Hongchang could wash up.

After Hongchang finished washing up, Xiaohuzi hurriedly went over to comb his hair.

Little Tiger skillfully braided Hongchang's shiny black hair into a neat braid.

And a delicate little mutton fat jade pendant was tied to the end of the braid.

After Hongchang finished washing and dressing

Ye Lanyi also tiptoed into the room, carrying a tray in her hands.

A few simple yet delicious breakfast items are laid out on top.

There were steaming hot buns, sweet and soft rice porridge, and a dish of perfectly pickled side dishes.

Ye Lanyi placed the breakfast on the table and smiled as she said to Hongchang:

"Sixth Prince, have something to eat first, don't go to school on an empty stomach."

Hongchang said, "Thank you, Sister Lanyi."

Hongchang quickly finished his breakfast and tidied his clothes.

Seeing that Hongchang had finished using it, Ye Lanyi quickly packed up her things and left.

Hongchang quickly sat down at the desk, while Xiaohuzi had already lit the candles.

The dim light instantly illuminated the entire desktop, reflecting Hongchang's innocent and focused little face.

Hongchang opened the book and began to read it aloud earnestly.

Time flies, and it's almost dawn.

Hongchang put down the book in his hand

Xiao Huzi quickly tidied his desk.

When Hongchang arrived at the Imperial Study

They discovered Hongshi, Hongzhou, and Hongli.

They were already seated in their respective seats, quietly waiting for their master to arrive.

A short while later, the master walked into the study with steady steps.

He immediately noticed Hongmao sitting at the front.

The master walked to the podium, looked at Hongchang with gentle eyes, and asked with a smile:

"Sixth Prince, how are your studies progressing? How far have you gotten in your studies?"

Faced with his master's sudden question, Hongchang remained calm and composed, showing no stage fright whatsoever.

He bowed respectfully to his master, then straightened his posture and answered clearly and confidently:

“Master, I have just finished studying the Great Learning.”

The master nodded, "The Great Learning teaches us to manifest our bright virtue..."

Hongchang replied without hesitation, "The way of the Great Learning lies in manifesting one's bright virtue."

To be close to the people, and to strive for the highest good.

"Knowing when to stop leads to stability; stability leads to tranquility..."

The voice was clear and resonant, with distinct intonation, clearly indicating that the passage was thoroughly memorized.

The master listened quietly to Hongchang's fluent recitation, and a gratified smile gradually appeared on his face.

After Hongchang finished reciting, the master nodded in satisfaction.

He gently stroked his beard and said approvingly:

"The Sixth Prince is indeed exceptionally intelligent!"

However, I'd like to test you again. What exactly is the meaning of '明德' in this sentence?

Upon hearing his master's question, Hongchang lowered his head slightly and pondered for a moment.

Then, he raised his head, looked firmly at his master, and calmly replied:

“Master, I believe that ‘Mingde’ refers to a kind of upright, honest and kind character.”

It represents the pure and kind nature that is inherent deep within everyone's heart.

These are the fine virtues that a person possesses at birth.

Upon hearing Hongchang's answer, a hint of surprise flashed in the master's eyes.

He nodded repeatedly in agreement, while secretly marveling to himself:

Although the sixth prince is young, he is quite perceptive. If he can maintain this level of intelligence...

He will surely achieve great things in the future.

Hongshi, who was standing to the side, was truly taken aback by this scene.

He hadn't expected his sixth brother to learn so quickly, despite being so young.

When he was a child, he really put in a lot of effort to learn the "Great Learning"!

Just memorizing those difficult words and phrases took him a lot of time and energy.

Moreover, even if you manage to memorize it, understanding its meaning is even more difficult.

I don't know how many days and nights of hard work it took.

As expected of Shu's mother's son

Hongzhou was also surprised.

Hongli, however, was disdainful, thinking that Hongchang was nothing special.

When he was as old as Hongchang, he learned more than just "The Great Learning".

If it weren't for his good mother, Hongchang wouldn't be able to compare to him at all.

However, Hongli did not show it, fortunately this Consort Shu did not become Empress.

Otherwise, Hongchang would have become the legitimate son.

Recalling my youthful days of diligent study and extensive reading,

Hongli felt a surge of superiority.

If it weren't for the fact that Hongchang had a mother who was of noble birth and deeply loved,

Given his qualifications and abilities, he is probably no match for me at all.

Thinking of this, Hongli couldn't help but feel fortunate.

Fortunately, Consort Shu of Hongchang did not become Empress.

Otherwise, once Hongchang becomes the rightful heir,

Then his hopes of inheriting the throne in the future will become increasingly slim.

Just then, a loud voice of praise suddenly rang out:

"Hongchang has learned well!"

Everyone present was startled; the voice was...

Everyone hurriedly stepped forward and bowed in greeting.

"Your Majesty, this humble subject greets you."

Hongchang, Hongli, and others greeted their father, the Emperor, wishing him boundless happiness and peace.

The chubby orange cat is exempt from formalities.

The chubby orange-haired boy walked straight towards Hongchang without glancing to the side.

He raised his right hand and gently stroked Hongchang's little head.

With a smile, he praised:

"My Hongchang is indeed exceptionally intelligent!"

Faced with the emperor's praise, Hongchang behaved very obediently and sensibly, and he quickly knelt down and kowtowed to express his gratitude:

"Thank you for your praise, Father. I will work even harder to live up to your expectations."

Hongli, standing to the side, saw all of this, and a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes.

The Emperor's affection for Hongchang seems to be growing deeper and deeper.

The greater the threat Hongchang posed to him, the better.

Hongshi said with a smile:

"Sixth Brother is so clever, I am ashamed of my own inferiority, and I will have to learn more from him in the future."

Hongzhou echoed this sentiment.

Big Fat Orange agreed, "Yes, Hongshi and Hongzhou are absolutely right. You should learn more from Hongchang."

After saying this, the chubby orange cat burst into laughter, and then added:

"It would be wonderful if you brothers could help and support each other."

Hongli scoffed at Hongshi and Hongzhou's fawning over the brat Hongchang.

Big Fat Orange loves to see his sons being kind and respectful to each other.

Unfortunately, the chubby orange cat forgot the fierce power struggles among his brothers before he even ascended the throne.

Hongli saw his father praising this and asking about that.

But they left him out in the cold, as if he didn't exist.

He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, a surge of intense resentment and anger welling up inside him.

Aside from not having a good mother, Hongli considered himself better than his other brothers.

Watching his father and brothers chatting and laughing, while he was ignored as if he were invisible,

This feeling made him feel extremely humiliated.

He was very unwilling and determined to get close to Consort Wan.

Only by becoming Consort Wan's son can one have Consort Wan whispering in the Emperor's ear.

Only if the Emperor sees him will he have a chance to sit on that throne.

He trampled all those who looked down on him under his feet.

Prior to this, Hongli had also considered taking action against Hongchang.

After all, eliminating Hongchang would reduce his competition among the many princes.

However, the thought of Consort Shu forced him to abandon the idea.

This Consort Shu was no ordinary woman; she managed to give birth to Hongchang despite the heavy pressure from the deposed empress.

And for so many years he has been highly praised in the palace.

His methods were so sophisticated that he, a prince with no power or influence, could not possibly contend with them.

If one acts rashly, not only will one fail to achieve one's goal, but one may also bring about one's own death.
