Honghui is reborn in Legend of Zhen Huan, I will protect my mother
Chapter 173 Bonfire Dinner
On the first day of June, Kangxi issued an order, ordering the Crown Prince and other princes to welcome the Empress Dowager to the frontier to escape the summer heat.
As the emperor's grandson, Honghui also went to Wangjiaying.
Just four days later, the empress dowager's sedan chair officially arrived at the Rehe Palace.
From then on, various Khorchin princes and nobles came to the court one after another, and the Rehe Palace was bustling with activity.
It was another feast that day.
"Amugulang Khan, you are full of vigor and vitality, and the other princes are also full of vigor and vitality. We are very envious of you!"
"Amugulang Khan, how did you educate your princes? They are all talented! My eldest son is mediocre, and my youngest son has no literary talent and only a little strength. Compared with your princes, they are far behind." ...
Kangxi was so flattered that his face was full of smiles. He could not help but modestly say, "Thank you for the compliment. They are all just a little knowledgeable in writing and riding and shooting. They are still far from being talented. As for the prince, I think he is very talented, cautious and meticulous. He is worthy of being the prince personally taught by the prince!"
The guests were toasting each other and the scene became more lively.
The princes and grandchildren of the emperor sat down below to entertain the guests, almost all of them had smiles on their faces. Even the crown prince put on a smiling face and toasted with the Mongolian princes.
At this time, Honghui only hated that his eyes were not enough to see, the bonfire dinner was too lively!
At one moment, the Crown Prince and the Mongolian princes were flattering each other, at one moment, the Crown Prince's second uncle was trying to establish a relationship with the Khorchin Prince, at one moment, the Eighth Uncle was toasting non-stop like a butterfly flying around the room, at one moment, the Ninth Uncle was selling chiming clocks and gold belts to the Mongolian princes. As for Ama, he was sitting upright at the table, his back very straight, his face expressionless as always, looking particularly out of place.
Well, don’t worry about it. It’s a habit developed over decades, so why bother about it?
"Good~"
A series of cheers came from afar. Honghui looked over and saw his seventh uncle wrestling with a strong black man. He won in just three or five somersaults!
I heard that Uncle Seventh’s riding and archery skills are among the top three among all the uncles and uncles. After seeing him today, I find that his reputation is well-deserved!
Looking closely, the lame leg did not limit his performance, which made Honghui admire him endlessly, "Seventh Uncle's ability is truly outstanding. Thirteenth Uncle and Fourteenth Uncle are still a little behind."
Yinzhen nodded slightly to show his agreement, then called Su Peisheng over and ordered, "Go ask someone to bring some fruit to the eldest prince. He has been grilling too much meat these days and has a sore throat."
After a while, someone brought two plates of various fruits and placed one plate on each table.
Su Peisheng smiled and said, "Master, you have been a little irritated these days, so I took the initiative to order a dish for you. Please do me a favor and pick a few to cool off."
Yinzhen glared at him lightly, didn't bother with him, then picked up the washed fruit and put it into his mouth as if nothing had happened.
The father and son were sitting quietly in the corner eating, but they didn't expect Kangxi to talk about them.
"Li Dequan, ask someone to serve some snacks to the fourth son and his son. What's the point of just eating fruit?"
The Chechen prince looked over and said, "Amugulang Khan, this is your fourth prince, right? I haven't seen him for many years, but his face looks the same as before." His stern temperament is still fresh in people's memory!
Kangxi smiled brightly: "Indeed, he is my fourth prince. He was conferred the title of Prince Yong last year. He is honest, filial and loyal, and has a straightforward and unpretentious personality. I have always valued him!"
Wow! This is a pretty high rating!
It is said that Prince Yong was highly valued by Amugulang Khan in the past few years, but since last year, he has disappeared and no news about him can be found. They thought that Prince Yong had fallen out of favor, but they did not expect that he was so favored.
"As expected of the son of Amugulang Khan, he looks so majestic..." "Yes, this Prince Yong..."
There was a series of praises coming one after another, Kangxi laughed out loud and drank the wine in the glass.
Perhaps he was in a mood to talk, he said with a smile: "The one sitting next to Prince Yong is my grandson, the eldest prince in his family, named Honghui! Honghui is filial and caring, intelligent and sensible, diligent and motivated. He can shoot arrows and hunt on horseback, and write good articles when he is off the horse. He is a man of both civil and military talents."
"I remember now. Isn't this the young man who won third place in today's hunting? How many Mongolian men have been left behind by him? Amugulang Khan is so lucky! This grandson of the emperor is about ten years old, right?"
Kangxi shook his head proudly: "Your Highness guessed wrong. Honghui is only nine years old this year, and he just celebrated his birthday three months ago."
"Wow! Looking at his physique, we thought he was a young man, but he is still a child! Mongolian boys are becoming more and more useless. They can't even beat a child. I will tell them later and embarrass them!"
"Your Majesty, you are too kind. Honghui just got lucky and got the third place. Isn't there a second place winner who was taken by a Mongolian boy?"
The corners of the Mongolian princes' mouths twitched, and they were not comforted at all.
——The second place winner is already fifteen years old, and he only won slightly against a nine-year-old child. Isn't it shameful?
As for the first place, it was won by a member of the royal family who was known for his bravery, which was a great loss of face for Mongolia.
At this moment, delicious food and fine wine seemed to have lost their appeal, and the Mongolian princes could no longer swallow their food!
Since the founding of this dynasty, Mongolia and the Qing Dynasty have always complemented each other and competed with each other. There have been cooperation and disputes. It is either the east wind that prevails over the west wind, or the west wind that prevails over the east wind. But since the current emperor ascended the throne, Mongolia has gradually lost the upper hand, and the once powerful Junggar has gradually become silent, which shows the strength of the Qing Dynasty.
Alas! The days ahead will be even more difficult!
How could the people of the Qing Dynasty care about the worries of the Mongolian princes? Kangxi used many means to win over and suppress them, which led to the increasingly powerful situation of the Qing Dynasty.
Most of the princesses who married into Mongolia as diplomatic missions in the early years of this dynasty died young, and only a few survived. Now, the number of princesses and counties who have established a foothold in Mongolia has gradually exceeded half. This is the direct impact of the east wind overwhelming the west wind.
That was why Kangxi was so satisfied with today's hunting trip. The royal family member who won first place was conferred the title of Beile on the spot. As for his nine-year-old grandson, who was not yet old enough to be awarded a title, Kangxi rewarded him with some gold, silver, jewelry, cloaks and furs as a substitute.
"Li Dequan, tell people to hurry up and pick out some of the best prey from Honghui's hunting and send them to Yonghe Palace, so that Concubine De can also taste the prey hunted by Honghui himself."
Li Dequan was a very prudent person. He knew that it was the height of summer and the dead prey could not be kept even for a day. It had to be kept cool with ice so that it could be safely delivered to Concubine De. So he quickly arranged for ice and horses and sent the people away from the Rehe Palace that night.
When Honghui heard this, he thought it was such a waste. It was really a luxury to use so much ice just for a few preys!
But by then the guards had already left the Rehe Palace and could not be brought back even if they were chased.
Forget it, let’s leave it at that for now. I’ll find another chance to persuade him later!
