Honghui is reborn in Legend of Zhen Huan, I will protect my mother

Soon, facts told him that delusion was just delusion after all, and he could not take advantage of this loophole.

Honghui plays with white pieces, with the white piece moving first and the black piece moving later. As a white piece lands in the center of the board, this sudden chess game officially begins.

"Wow, this is Tianyuan!" Kangxi exclaimed in his heart.

One person played with white pieces, and the other played with black pieces. For a while, they were evenly matched. However, as the chess pieces gradually fell into place, the white pieces on the board gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Lack of ability means lack of ability. There is no point in being anxious. Honghui suppressed the myriad thoughts in his mind, and one chess game after another flashed through his mind. He became more cautious.

But this was of no use. The black pieces on the board gradually increased in number, while the white pieces gradually became scarce, and one corner was surrounded by the black pieces.

After a quarter of an hour of back and forth, Kangxi's drunkenness gradually wore off. Looking at the situation on the chessboard, he couldn't help thinking, Honghui was still young after all, lacking in strategy and planning skills, and the white pieces had many loopholes. But considering his age, it was already good enough for him to reach this point. Could an ordinary five-year-old child be so smart?

"I heard that you have learned a few miscellaneous subjects now. Is there anything you like?"

Honghui was stunned. This question really stumped him. He didn't know which miscellaneous subject he liked more. However, in front of Huang Mafa, he chose to tell the truth.

"My grandson has a wide range of interests. I can't say which one he likes more at the moment, but relatively speaking, he is more interested in agriculture and medicine."

"Oh? Why is that?" Kangxi became interested.

Honghui smiled shyly and said softly: "Medicine can cure thousands of diseases, and agronomy can save millions of people. Although my grandson is not talented, I want to make some contribution to the Qing Dynasty and seek some benefits for the people. Your Majesty, you don't think that my grandson is overestimating his abilities, right?"

Kangxi laughed loudly: "Great! I am only comforted by your ambition, but if you want your wish to come true, you must work hard. I am waiting for you to work for me when you grow up."

"Well, my grandson will not slack off. Let me tell you that my grandson is a little greedy. I want to be the pride of my father and mother, set a good example for my brothers and sisters, and make the emperor and mother smile all the time. So even if there are many bumps on the road ahead, my grandson will not give up halfway."

When saying this, Honghui's attitude was very serious, and one could tell at a glance that he was sincere in his words.

At least both Kangxi and Yinzhen were deeply moved, and a myriad of thoughts surged into their minds.

Kangxi turned his head and looked in the direction of Yinzhen, and said earnestly: "Old Four, you taught me well!"

Yinzhen shook his head modestly: "Your Majesty, you are too kind to praise me. I don't deserve it. Honghui is still young and cannot bear such praise. There is an ancient saying that 'sinful Zhongyong'. If he continues to be like this when he grows up, then he deserves praise."

Kangxi frowned when he heard this. How could he not like to hear this!

"Fourth Brother, you are too harsh. Is this how I taught you? Honghui is my grandson. I won't allow you to..."

Yinzhen said "yes" timidly on the surface, but he was secretly complaining in his heart that it was obvious that you, the Emperor, were stricter with all your sons, but you were so lenient with your grandson, which showed that you had double standards.

It is said that generations apart are closely related, generations apart are closely related. Today he finally witnessed it!

Kangxi was scolding while his hands were moving without any delay. After a while, the white pieces on the chessboard had nowhere to move forward or backward and were about to be defeated.

Honghui was still making a last-ditch struggle, and managed to move two or three pieces, but was finally crushed to death on the chessboard by the black pieces and could not move.

"Grandson admits defeat!"

Kangxi stroked his beard, with the corners of his mouth raised, and there was a hint of pride and satisfaction in his smile.

"You are quite good at playing Go, which shows that your father was not exaggerating. Honghui, you lost today only because you are young and have not thought things through. If you work hard for a few more years, your Go skills will improve greatly."

Honghui didn't feel proud. If he lost, he lost. There was no point in finding more excuses. It would be better to work harder in the future so that he would have a chance to turn defeat into victory.

At this moment, he only said one sentence: "Grandson thanks the Emperor Mafa for his teachings."

Kangxi stood up and stretched his arms. "Okay, that's all for today. I'm tired. You can go back first."

The father and son took their leave and left the Qianqing Palace.

Perhaps because the banquet had ended a long time ago, they did not meet any acquaintances along the way. Only servants and palace maids were coming and going on the palace roads, which constituted a common scene in the huge imperial palace.

On the way back, Honghui couldn't help but whispered: "Father, why did the Queen suddenly summon her son? What happened?"

Yinzhen smiled and shook his head: "Today is just a simple greeting, there is no other meaning, don't worry. In another year, you will be able to enter the palace to study, and then you will have many opportunities to see the emperor."

"In the future you must be like you are today, dare to speak and act, you must not be timid and petty, and you must not be arrogant at all." These words actually had other implications, but he felt that it was not very nice to talk about others behind their backs, so he just said these two sentences and passed it by.

At the banquet in the Hall of Supreme Harmony today, Hongsheng from the third brother's family and Hongshu from the seventh brother's family did not perform very well. One bullied others by taking advantage of his power and the other was timid, which directly ruined the emperor's interest.

There was also Hongyu, the eldest brother's son, who was also arrogant and quarreled endlessly with Hongxi, the son of the crown prince's second brother. They almost came to blows at the banquet, making the royal family and ministers of the previous dynasty laugh at them.

The banquet in the Hall of Supreme Harmony ended early, mostly because of this reason. The emperor just used the excuse of being drunk to go with the flow. Didn’t you see that none of his brothers came to the emperor? They were all rushing back to teach their sons a lesson!

The emperor was depressed because several of his grandchildren had performed poorly in a row, so he wanted to summon a grandson who was known to be smart and sensible, which is why Honghui was given the name Qiaozong.

Isn't it that Honghui was highlighted all of a sudden? However, that was also because of Honghui's own efforts. He helped the emperor to relieve his worries in a game of chess, and did not waste this hard-won opportunity in vain.

After watching such a farce, Yinzhen felt lucky for the umpteenth time that he had a good son, who was intelligent and sensible, hardworking and motivated, filial and considerate, brave and resourceful, and most importantly, not the least bit arrogant. Which of his brothers was as lucky as him?

Thinking of this, he added: "You did a great job today, really great."

Yinzhen's attitude remained the same as usual, and he did not show anything unusual, but Honghui still noticed something was wrong. Combined with Huang Mafa's abnormal behavior, something must have happened today!

"Father, what happened in the Hall of Supreme Harmony? Please tell your son."
