Honghui is reborn in Legend of Zhen Huan, I will protect my mother
Chapter 196 Tit for tat
At the end of September, the emperor returned to the palace, and the summer vacation in the frontier that lasted for more than half a year once again came to an end.
During this half year, there were many major and minor events, such as the imperial decree to revise the book on musical notes and arithmetic, and the adjustment of the treatment of royal family members who had been stripped of their titles. Not to mention hunting outside the Great Wall, which took place once or twice almost every month, and those who were skilled in riding and shooting had the limelight.
During this period, Kangxi also shot several times himself, and every shot hit the target, winning applause from the whole room.
As for how those people flattered and fawned on others in a roundabout way? Needless to say, it was simply unbearable to watch!
Honghui still remembers the flattering words one after another, such as "Your Majesty is still as brave as ever!" and "During the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of Wei had a saying: An old horse in the stable still has a thousand miles to go. I have witnessed it today." He has heard all kinds of flattering words, both explicit and implicit.
Although these words are indeed pleasant to the ear, won’t you get tired of hearing them too much?
Kangxi really didn't feel that disgusted. He even wanted to hear more good words because he was in a very good mood. His whole mental state relaxed all of a sudden, and all his minor ailments seemed to be short-lived and disappeared one by one!
——During the six months of summer vacation in the frontier, the situation suddenly stabilized. The open and secret struggles among the princes and the factionalism among the court officials disappeared for the most part. Kangxi, who had been brooding over these things for six or seven years, only felt that the sky was bluer, the grassland was greener, the lake was clearer, and the unfilial son was no longer so annoying.
Most people could see that Kangxi was in a good mood, so for more than half a year, almost no one came out to spoil his mood, except for the eighth prince Yinsi, who changed his tune and came up to him from time to time to please and show his courtesy.
Yes, Yinsi not only did not give up, but also figured out an idea - "In the past, the emperor treated me so cruelly, but treated my fourth brother with great favor. The reason was that my fourth brother was able to humble himself and show his filial piety in public! Now that the position of crown prince is undisputed, if I want to ascend the throne, I have to put aside my face and work hard to win the emperor's favor and respect, so as to become the 'crown prince' who is secretly appointed as the crown prince!"
Yinsi's idea was not actually wrong, but Kangxi didn't buy it.
"I know clearly what is true and what is false! The eighth brother acted very well, but it was just acting after all. The ambition in his eyes cannot be hidden!" Kangxi once said this to Li Dequan in private.
So Yinsi went around in circles for several months, but there was no progress until the emperor returned to the capital. Then, for unknown reasons, he found out some secrets, but after returning to the capital, he stopped all efforts and focused on raising his children.
No one knew what Yinsi was thinking, and no one cared. People in the capital were carefully preparing for the annual Gold Award Festival.
The Golden Awarding Festival in the 52nd year of Kangxi's reign was grand, festive, lively, with singing and dancing, and universal celebration, reflecting Kangxi's good mood everywhere.
A few days later, the Sixth Prince of Prince Yong's Mansion was born safely. Then, at some point, Nian Shilan and Ulanara Rouze started to confront each other.
It is said that these two people would mock each other whenever they met. One mocked the other, saying "she is a vixen, disrespectful to her superiors, arrogant and domineering, and is just a hen that doesn't lay eggs!", and the other mocked this one, saying "she is old and ugly, wiping tears all day long, and wearing clothes that look like she is in mourning. She looks really unlucky!". The two people who were in the same backyard but had such a huge gap between them actually quarreled to the point that they couldn't stay in the same room.
Even Honghui had heard about it several times. The two of them argued endlessly in the garden, fought over meals in the kitchen, and quarreled endlessly over the rations, making everyone in the mansion laugh their ass off.
It's the same today!
"The concubine, the eldest prince, the fourth prince, the concubine and the concubine of the younger brother started a quarrel over a bowl of bird's nest soup."
We were still having dinner when someone came over to disrupt the meal. Everyone thought to themselves, "What bad luck!"
Yixiu put down her chopsticks, frowned, and ordered in a rather imposing manner: "Jianqiu, lead the way, and let this concubine go over to take a look. Randong, tell the master to come over as well!"
How many times has this happened? These two people are not tired of it! They refuse to change and listen to all kinds of advice. There have been gossips outside the mansion these days. It is not good for the reputation of the Fourth Master!
The warm dinner was ruined. The two brothers looked at each other and smiled after seeing their mother leaving after she said "Honghui, Honghan, do whatever you want. Mother has to take care of some important things!"
Hong Han smiled like a little fox: "Brother, do you think that the legitimate mother and the concubine Nian will be punished?"
Honghui glanced at him with a half-smile: "Why? Are you so happy?"
"Hehe~ I am of course happy. They have caused so much trouble to mother on weekdays, but mother just relies on her good temper and doesn't bother with them. Humph!" Honghan considers himself a five-year-old little adult. He can understand what is going on in the mansion!
Honghui picked up a few dishes for him and scooped a bowl of chicken soup himself. "Here, hurry up and eat. It's winter and the food won't taste good if it gets cold."
"Brother~..."
"Okay, you eat first. As for mother and concubine Nian, even if they are punished, it won't be too severe. After all, one is the principal wife of the mansion, and the other has a powerful family." Honghui said a few words and continued to eat.
After dinner, the two brothers waited for another half an hour before they saw Yixiu returning.
"Mother, what happened today? Did father punish them?" Honghan couldn't sit still and asked first.
"On the eve of dinner, the servants of the main courtyard and the servants of Yaoguang Pavilion happened to meet together when they went to pick up the food. It was not a big deal at first, but who knew that the bird's nest soup cooked by the main kitchen was a little less, and there was only one portion left. Fu Jin and Nian Shi refused to give in, and went straight to the main kitchen to quarrel endlessly."
Thinking of what happened today, Yixiu was speechless, and her tone couldn't help but become aggressive, "After all, they are the wife of a royal concubine and a concubine, and they quarreled like this over a bowl of bird's nest soup. Tsk! Now, the New Year is almost here, and both of them have been punished to be grounded for half a month. They are really asking for trouble!"
Even though I feel happy about other people's misfortune, I still need to say what I should say: "It will not be good if the legitimate mother and concubine Nian continue to quarrel like this. If the news gets out, people will say that the backyard of Prince Yong's mansion is unstable. After all, now is the most critical time."
Yixiu knew a little about the mind of the person beside her, and she was also anxious, "Ah! I am a concubine who worries about the concubine all the time. I can discipline Nian, but to dissuade the concubine, haha! This matter has to be handled by the Fourth Master. The person who tied the bell must untie it."
"Jianqiu, go to Yaoguang Pavilion and tell her what I mean. Nian is not a stable person, so she should copy the "Female Rules" and "Female Commandments" five times to calm herself down! And you should go to the main courtyard one more time and write a few more sentences in a subtle way. I will do the rest."
