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

Honghui is now using Yurong Soap. In the entire Fourth Prince's Mansion, only Yinzhen and Yixiu benefited from him and used Yurong Soap in advance.

Of the remaining three pieces of Yurong Soap, one was sent to Yonghe Palace, and the other two were sent to the residences of the Thirteenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince.

Even if he didn't have any extra ones, Honghui wouldn't feel sorry at all. No matter how precious the Yurong Soap was, could it be as important as being close to his Thirteenth and Fourteenth Uncles?

After the Golden Award Festival, the palace also began to use Yurongxiang soap. However, due to its limited quantity, only the queen of a palace and the favored concubines were lucky enough to get one or two pieces. Those below the rank of concubine could only watch others show off openly or secretly.

There was something a little different among the concubines who received rewards. The four concubines and Imperial Concubine Tongjia each received two pieces of Jade Face Soap, while the other concubines, whether they were favored concubines or not, only received flower scented soap as their rewards.

Concubine Yi was very proud now. It was hard for others to get a piece of soap, but she had a big box in her Yiku Palace, which was all given to her by the Ninth Prince Yinzhen as a gift.

Looking at the nobles below who were often waiting for the concubines to flatter her, she would reward them from time to time and act very proud of herself.

Perhaps someone couldn't bear to see her being so proud, and a rumor quickly spread throughout the capital.

"It is said that Concubine Yi will soon be promoted to Imperial Concubine. The Yikun Palace will be the most powerful one in the palace!"

Honghui laughed when he heard this. Some people believed in such rumors without a doubt. It was obvious that they just followed the crowd and had no opinions of their own! If Concubine Yi was really awarded the title of Imperial Concubine because of Uncle Jiu and the soap incident, then Mama would have been awarded the title of Imperial Concubine for her contribution to the cowpox epidemic!

I wonder who is afraid of and trying to suppress the Yikun Palace, so this rumor was spread?

Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with the Yonghe Palace, but the Yanx Palace and the Yuqing Palace are highly suspected. It is also possible that the eldest uncle and the crown prince's second uncle have done something, otherwise the rumors would not have spread so widely and even reached the ears of a royal grandson like him!

"Alright, don't talk about the concubines. If I find out, I will report back to my father and mother and punish you severely."

He then sent someone to deliver a message to Uncle Jiu, showing his good intentions.

As for whether his reminder was useful or not? In fact, it had no effect. The Yikun Palace had already heard the news and did not need anyone to remind them.

Later, Concubine Yi took off her makeup, wore plain clothes, went to Ningshou Palace and cried, and then went to Qianqing Palace and cried again. This caused the empress dowager, who had never interfered in other people's affairs, to issue an imperial decree. The Emperor also tried his best to cooperate and killed many servants who were good at spreading rumors. Only then did the evil wind against Yikun Palace be suppressed.

However, Honghui's efforts were not in vain after all. Just look at the extra box of soap in Haitangyuan!

The soap was sent by Uncle Jiu, who also said, "Our Uncle Jiu said that if the eldest prince wants to use the soap, just send someone to come and get it."

Yes, Yinzhen was grateful for the kindness after all, because from the beginning to the end, apart from his eighth brother and tenth brother, only his nephew Honghui reminded him once, and the true meaning of the reminder can be seen!

My brother is worrying for no reason. Nephew Honghui is sincere in his friendship with him and there is no conspiracy or intrigue, Yinzhen thought!

……

On the other hand, when soap first became popular in the capital, another piece of news spread throughout the capital in an instant like a bombshell.

At the end of October, the Emperor suddenly announced the existence of honeycomb briquettes in the court.

"May the ancestors bless the Qing Dynasty. Everyone, please take a look at this memorial!"

"Your Majesty, is the cost of honeycomb briquettes really that cheap?"

"Long live the Lord..."

The ministers who stayed in the Qianqing Palace were talking about it a lot. They couldn't believe that there was someone who could reduce the price of coal, which was already as cheap as one cent per pound, by another 30% or 40%. Although they didn't need the coal, the servants in the palace and the common people did!

Kangxi explained the whole thing slowly and leisurely, with an indescribable ease in his eyes. His achievements in preventing and treating smallpox were there, and no matter how boastful the eldest prince's party and the prince's party were, he felt a little more confident.

He has made many achievements and his private treasury has also had income. Now he has honeycomb coal to add icing on the cake. A hundred years later, he might be able to compete for the posthumous title of "Emperor Wen".

Although that is impossible!

But at the moment, Kangxi did not know what would happen in the future. He just sat on the dragon throne, watching the people of the eldest prince and the prince compete for the job of promoting and selling honeycomb coal.

"Replying to Your Majesty, I recommend..."

It took less than a quarter of an hour from the initial scramble to recommend to the mutual attacks. Seeing that the chaos in the court was getting out of control, Kangxi came out to stop it.

"That's enough!" Kangxi glanced at all the courtiers and princes standing in the Qianqing Palace, his face showing no emotion.

"The matter of honeycomb briquettes will be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue. Fourth Brother, this matter will be handed over to you to supervise. From today on, you will be transferred to the Ministry of Revenue and take charge of the work of the Ministry of Revenue." Fourth Brother was very filial to his royal father. He saw and remembered the contributions of cowpox and honeycomb briquettes, even though they said they didn't want them.

Kangxi thought that since the court was relatively balanced now, he might as well reward the fourth prince this time to avoid disappointing him.

The prince was visibly happy. The fourth brother was his man, and the emperor valued him as the prince.

On the contrary, Yinzhi looked unhappy and glared at the prince angrily, then glanced back at his eighth brother who was standing beside him without leaving a trace.

The eighth prince Yinsi smiled bitterly. The emperor had issued an order, so what could he do? The fourth brother was really capable, and he could even get his hands on such an important task!

Everyone had different expressions, and there was a bit of scrutiny and fear in their eyes when they looked at the Fourth Prince Yinzhen.

Yinzhen was extremely happy. His father was concerned about him as his biological son, so he sent the matter of honeycomb coal back to him. However, looking at the envious or jealous eyes of his brothers, he immediately came to his senses.

After all, he still wants to keep a low profile and doesn't want to be a target so early!

Yinzhen thought over and over again, but soon made up his mind.

He took a step forward calmly and said, "Your Majesty, if you have given me an order, I shall do my duty. However, the honeycomb coal is of great importance and I cannot shoulder such a heavy responsibility alone. Please appoint an assistant to assist me in handling the honeycomb coal issue."

Kangxi narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at his fourth son, and asked, "Oh? Do you have a favorite candidate? It doesn't matter if you tell me!" Is it the Thirteenth or the Fourteenth? Considering the fourth son's filial piety, let's give him this face!

The princes were startled and stared at the back of their fourth brother/elder brother. Yinzhen even had a bit of trepidation and expectation on his face.

The huge Qianqing Palace was suddenly silent and seemed particularly cold and deserted!
