Honghui is reborn in Legend of Zhen Huan, I will protect my mother
Chapter 144 It’s miserable
Kangxi had no interest in summoning a bastard prince of ordinary origin. He only remembered the farce a few days ago, when Yinreng and Yinzhi were quarreling more and more, and he completely forgot that they were brothers!
"You are a good one, and the fourth one taught you well."
Honghui smiled slightly: "Father taught me what 'friendship' is all about, and I often heard about the deep brotherly love between you and my late second uncle. It's just that I was unlucky and never got to meet my late second uncle."
Kangxi suddenly thought of his second brother Fuquan who had passed away three years ago. Except for the incident with Yinzhi, there was almost no conflict between the brothers in their lives. Looking back now, he seemed to see the voice and smile of the old man right before his eyes.
"Your second great uncle was a very tolerant person with a good temper. He was especially kind to the younger generations. I only had this brother, and he died so young! Alas, all my brothers and sisters of this generation have passed away. The only close relative is my cousin who married far away in Khorchin and is still alive. Time plays tricks on people!" He felt more and more empty in his heart.
Honghui wanted to slap himself in the face. He shouldn't have mentioned his second great-uncle. Now, Huang Mafa's worries were aroused.
He hurriedly spoke to comfort him: "Your Mafa, your second uncle and you have a deep brotherly love. How could he be willing to see you sad for him in his grave? Although your grandson does not understand too many principles, he knows that only if you live a hundred years, it will be the greatest comfort to your second uncle and uncle, because you will always remember them in your heart!"
After saying this, Honghui pretended to admit his fault and said with his head down: "It's all my grandson's fault. I made the Queen very sad..."
Seeing Honghui taking so much trouble to comfort him, the emperor, Kangxi couldn't help but smile: "I know your filial piety. Hold your head up. I don't blame you. The fourth brother often teaches you with the deep brotherly love between me and my second brother. I am only satisfied. It's just like this, passed down from generation to generation!"
"Come here, I will tell you about your second great-uncle. Your father is younger than you, how much can he know?"
After Kangxi opened his mouth, he spoke a lot without stopping.
Honghui nodded as he listened, and occasionally asked a few more questions. At the end, he sighed, "That's great! I want to follow my second uncle's example, be friendly to my brothers, and be a good brother."
So, that evening, the grandfather and grandson deepened their relationship by commemorating the deceased Prince Yu Fuquan.
……
After New Year’s Eve, it is the new year.
The 47th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign was a year so turbulent that it was hard to describe it. From this year on, the battle for the throne among the nine princes officially began.
There have been rumors that something was not right since last year. The Prince of Zhi and the Crown Prince were both too anxious, and someone from both camps fell every few days. Either one was corrupt or committed evil, and there were reports and impeachments every day.
When winter came, the Emperor seemed to have health problems and felt dizzy from time to time. The prince's party gained the upper hand for a time.
What a stark contrast there is between the old and sick father and the young and strong son!
Yinzhen was a man with good judgment. He gritted his teeth and decided to be more low-key, pushing all the tasks he could to others, and pretending to be immersed in teaching his children and grandchildren.
As a result, Honghui often saw his third brother Hongshi being scolded every quarter or half a quarter of an hour, and his childish face would early on show an expression of "unbearable misery".
It is the same today.
"How stupid! You just memorized it yesterday and you've completely forgotten it today. It's been a year and you haven't finished learning a simple Three Character Classic? Hongshi, are you really putting your heart into it?"
Hongshi stood trembling in the study. Every time Yinzhen said something, he trembled. He was afraid and helpless.
"Ama, Ama..."
Seeing his third son hesitating and trembling like this, Yinzhen got angry, "Why are you trembling? Do you think I can eat you? Stand up straight and talk! Can't you even reply if you can't recite?"
Hongshi almost cried, but he didn't dare to cry, because in the past he had cried and refused to be enlightened, but was severely beaten. Even his mother's crying and his aunt's pleading were of no use, and his father would only punish him severely.
"My son, I tried really hard, but I really can't remember..."
Seeing that his father was about to lose his temper again, Honghui hurried out to smooth things over: "Father, Hongshi has not slacked off. He studies hard every morning and evening. Hongshi, tell me, is what my elder brother said right?"
Hongshi nodded hurriedly, clinging to his elder brother's arm like a life-saving straw, "Brother is right, my son really doesn't dare... No, I didn't slack off. My son recited it several times this morning, but he forgot it just now when the words came to his lips..."
Yinzhen almost vomited blood. He was angry at his third son's stupidity and also annoyed that he had such a mediocre son.
The third son is not only inferior to the eldest and second princesses, but is also far inferior to the eldest son. Even if he has no expectations for the third son, he can't just watch him become ignorant and incompetent in the future!
He suppressed his anger and said expressionlessly, "Okay, continue memorizing the book. Go back when you have memorized it."
Hongshi replied respectfully with a "yes", but secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He finally survived another disaster! It's better that his elder brother is back. Ama is just thunder without rain. His life is much better than before.
Hongshi thought he had hidden his little thoughts very well, but he didn't know that others could see what he was thinking at a glance. At this moment, both Yinzhen and Honghui, father and son, saw through his little thoughts.
Yinzhen simply couldn't bear to watch it, so he decided to turn a blind eye and turned his attention to his eldest son to clear his eyes.
Honghui took action. He bowed and asked, "Father, why don't you let your son teach Hongshi during the New Year? My son comes home every afternoon, so you can relax during this period!" In order to avoid being too anxious and getting another sore on your mouth.
Yinzhen was very tempted, but when he thought about how hard it would be for his eldest son to go to the palace to study every day during the New Year, he gave up the idea.
"Don't worry about it. Studying is the most important thing for you. Hongshi has his father here, so that's enough..."
"It doesn't matter! My son's homework is not that tiring, and the progress in the study room, well, has only reached the Book of Songs. My son will have nothing to do when he comes back."
As the father, Yinzhen knew best about the progress of his eldest son. Hiding his shortcomings was a decision made by both father and son, so he was not surprised at this time.
"Okay, I'll let you teach your third brother for the next few days, and I'll take a few days off." Only those who have experienced it know how difficult it is to play the lute to a cow!
