He was reborn as the son of Yixiu of the Ula Nara clan, the Seventh Prince of the Qing dynasty. From the start, he gained the golden finger of mind reading. Hongzhang knew perfectly well that his mother loved the emperor sincerely and was filled with guilt over the eldest son she had lost at the prince's residence years before.
After losing her son, his mother had to suppress her grief and put the greater good first, giving up her position as principal consort. She even had to select concubines for the emperor, pushing her husband into other women's arms again and again. In the end, she was forced to harm imperial offspring and sentenced to life imprisonment.
So from the moment he was born, he worked to change his mother's outlook, help her remain firmly in control, and keep his father away from Zhen Huan, that wicked woman.
What he never expected was that his self-important worrying and little schemes would be heard loud and clear by his own father.
Fortunately, with him in this life, everything was slowly changing.
