Honghui is reborn in Legend of Zhen Huan, I will protect my mother
Chapter 143: Undercurrents
Yinzhen never understood his eighth brother's thoughts, but now that his eighth brother had hope of having an offspring to carry on the family business, he did not continue to pester him. He just left the Eighth Prince's Mansion with hatred, saying something.
"Myna, if you keep indulging her like this, sooner or later, she will climb over your head! And as for the Prince An's Mansion, you must give them a good beating. No matter how much we brothers fight, we must have a bottom line and we must never touch women and children!" There was still a little knot in his heart, but he finally chose to believe it.
These words hit Yinsi hard in the face, but he did not show any abnormality.
He had his usual gentle smile on his face, looking at Yinzhen's back, but his eyes were cold. Ninth brother, why are you getting closer and closer to the fourth brother and the fourth brother's eldest brother? He is jealous of all the good things!
Fortunately, he had kept a trick up his sleeve, otherwise it would have been difficult to pass this hurdle. Jueluo was just adding unnecessary details, and his efforts were wasted!
Let's leave this matter alone for now. Next time, I will directly target the fourth brother. He doesn't want to be accused of "using any means necessary" again! Yinsi thought so.
……
In late September, His Majesty sent back a bunch of furs and other rewards from outside the Great Wall, which put an end to the album issue.
Within two days, the rumors in the capital gradually died down and everything became calm.
Honghui breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, no one came to talk nonsense to him anymore!
The cause and effect of the whole incident was simple and complicated at the same time. Disputes in the harem, past grudges, and disputes in the previous dynasty were all involved, almost making him think that this was the most critical moment in the fight for the throne.
A picture album that is not considered a big seller can be caused such a mess, which shows that the world is unpredictable and human hearts are hard to predict!
However, he never regretted drawing this album. How could he be held responsible for the mistakes of others? But he still felt a little scared. He decided to study hard in the next one or two years and wait until his father was crowned a prince and had power.
As for the people involved in the rumors, none of them escaped. One was punished to copy Buddhist scriptures, which was a disguised form of house arrest. One was repeatedly constrained and suffered a great loss of face. One lost one or two capable subordinates and his power was reduced. It was really gratifying!
Honghui had no objection to this, but he had a doubt in his heart. He really didn't know what Uncle Ba was thinking. He actually chose to add fuel to the flames and attack him? If the matter got out of hand, wouldn't the Royal Ma Law be able to find out with a simple investigation?
——How could he know that this matter was half revenge and half directed against his father, the Fourth Prince, but before public opinion could even get out of hand, it accidentally turned into a "joke".
Perhaps it was because of the previous lesson, after that, the Fourth Prince went around asking imperial physicians for advice on matters concerning women's fertility, but it did not cause any trouble. At most, he received a few words of praise from the women in the harem.
There were a small number of young ladies who were even more in love with her, for example, Nian Shilan, the daughter of Nian Xialing, the retired governor of Huguang, who was just over eleven years old. She had some feelings in her heart, thinking that there were also royal grandsons and nobles who were so attentive to their female relatives!
An eleven-year-old girl was more envious of the women in the Fourth Prince's Mansion. How could she know at that time that she would become the arrogant and domineering Concubine Hua in the future?
Of course, this was in the past life. It is hard to say what will happen in this life. After all, things in the world are unpredictable and life is hard to predict. Who says that destiny cannot be violated?
This is a later story, let’s not talk about it for now!
Time flies, and the years pass quickly. In a blink of an eye, it is the end of the year, and soon it will be the new year.
Honghui still had to go out every three days in misery, especially as it was so cold today. It was okay to go home in the evening, but it would be a torture to go out at night!
——During the Chinese New Year, court officials, princes, and royal family members were all allowed to take a vacation, except for those of them who studied in the upper study room, rain or shine, from the age of six to fifteen or sixteen, and had to stay there for at least ten years before they could be "separated from the palace" and leave the palace.
Ten years! Honghui couldn't imagine what he would look like when he grew up. Would he look exactly like his father, or more like his mother?
In fact, it doesn’t matter who he looks like. After being a child for hundreds of years, he is fed up with his short appearance and has been looking forward to growing into a tall man of eight or nine feet so that he can look down on others again.
No one knows Honghui's ambition for the time being. People only know that the eldest prince of the Fourth Prince's Mansion is quite intelligent, performs well in the upper study, and is a royal grandson that the Emperor likes very much.
Of course, the most proud grandson in front of His Majesty is only Prince Hongxi, and the rest of the grandsons have all retreated a long way!
However, Honghui was not depressed, and he comforted his father with words: "Cousin Hongxi has his reasons for being favored, and I won't mind. Besides, I am much luckier than others. I can see the emperor from time to time. For example, my third brother is almost four years old, but he has never had the honor of seeing the emperor. He is also the emperor's grandson!"
At that time, Yinzhen replied to his eldest son: "Your Maha is an emperor with a noble status. Your every word and action is subject to countless speculations. There are so many grandchildren in the emperor's generation, how can you summon them casually? You are lucky to be favored by your Maha. Your cousins can only envy you!
As for Hongshi, he is just a bastard from the Han army. His mother's family is not prominent. Maybe he won't be summoned by your Majesty until he is ten years old. This is normal in the royal family!"
At this time, Honghui was just thankful that he had a good family background and the upper hand in terms of seniority. Otherwise, he would just be an ordinary grandson of the emperor, and how could he have the opportunity to perform in front of the emperor?
As the New Year was approaching, he mentioned a few more interesting stories about Hongshi in front of the emperor. "Your Majesty, Hongshi is honest and straightforward, just like a little tiger. Every time they meet, he hugs his grandson's legs and calls him 'big brother' all the time. He is really lovable..."
Kangxi was in high spirits. He stroked his beard and laughed, "That album you spent half a year on was drawn for him, right?"
Honghui shook his head: "It's not just for him, but also for other brothers and sisters. It's just that there are only two of us brothers in the mansion now. In the eyes of others, my grandson obviously pays more attention to this only brother, and the two sisters have been neglected like this!"
Kangxi thought about the princesses he had born, and found that each of them did not have a close relationship with their brothers. When they were married off to faraway places, apart from him, the emperor, who would summon one or two when he remembered, there would be no one else to support them!
He sighed from the bottom of his heart: "You are a friendly brother! It will be a blessing for the eldest and second princesses to have you as a brother. When they get married, they will not have to worry about not having the support of their natal families."
Honghui said solemnly: "They are all brothers and sisters. Even if they were born to different mothers, they still have the same blood in their bones and blood. It is only right for my grandson to protect one or two of them when he is able!"
