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

The concubine was pregnant, so no matter how many faults she had, the Fourth Master endured them all.

He was already 27 years old, but he only had one illegitimate eldest son, so he was looking forward to having a legitimate child in his wife's belly. For the sake of the legitimate child and the three years of relationship, he could only pretend that what happened before had never happened.

It's just that Yixiu and Honghui, mother and son, will be wronged again. We can't compensate them too much at this critical juncture, otherwise Rouze will have to think too much.

I'll ask Su Peisheng to go to Haitangyuan a few more times to comfort them on my behalf.

In the Begonia Garden, the mother and son saw Su Peisheng coming every few days. Today he brought some coral and pearl earrings, and tomorrow he brought some gold tassel hairpin, and he came again the next day.

"Concubine, this is the jade bracelet that the master personally picked for you. He said it would suit your skin tone. You will definitely like it when you see it."

Although Yixiu was mentally prepared, she still couldn't help but feel excited. It didn't matter how expensive the item was; what mattered was the Fourth Master's feelings for her.

She tried her best to hide the smile on her face and tried to stay calm in front of everyone, "Eunuch Su, please give a message to Master for me, saying that I like this bracelet very much and thank you for your concern." She also asked Jianqiu to give Su Peisheng an ingot of silver as a reward.

Su Peisheng's face was almost smiling. How could he, a close servant, not know what the master was thinking? With the eldest prince around, the honor of this concubine was still long!

"Thank you for the reward, Concubine. I am here to give you the reward and also bring you the master's words. Tonight, the master will come to Haitang Garden. Please prepare in advance, Concubine."

Su Peisheng left after delivering the message. He had to go back to the front yard to serve his master, and there was a Gao Wuyong who was eyeing his master covetously.

Honghui did not interrupt the whole time. He could see that his father was trying to compensate his mother for the grievances she had suffered, even though she was willing to bear them. One side wanted to fight, the other side wanted to be beaten. It was not his turn to intervene in the tug-of-war between the elders.

However, mother, no matter how happy you are, you cannot open all the jewelry boxes and spread them out in front of the dressing table to admire them one by one!

Honghui didn't dare to disturb his mother's interest, and hid away under the pretext of going to the study to practice calligraphy. He could not understand a woman's love for clothes and jewelry.

He read in the study for two hours before his mother came to her senses and pulled him out. By then, his father had arrived early.

It was not surprising that Yinzhen arrived early. He was not very important at that time. He had been busy for the previous month not with court affairs but with his personal affairs.

Now, more than a month has passed, and the refugees from the outer city have been moved to other places to recuperate. He can also spare some time to walk around in the backyard.

Yixiu was a concubine, and since Honghui was there, he came twice more. The rest of the princesses came according to his preference, if he liked them, he would visit them for a day or two more, if he didn't like them, he would just visit them once for the sake of courtesy, which could be considered as equal treatment.

Of course this didn't work. It had been five months, and no princess in the backyard was pregnant.

……

September 15th was the day to pay respects to the wife of the emperor, but unfortunately, it rained heavily, forcing Yixiu and Honghui to carry umbrellas.

By the time they arrived at the main courtyard, their clothes were already soaked with moisture and the hems were covered in mud, showing how miserable they were.

"Concubine, eldest prince, come and wipe it with a towel. It's easy to catch a cold when it's wet!"

Qi Gege and Song Gege have already arrived. They are also in a very miserable state, just like Yixiu and her son.

Yixiu took the towel handed over by the servant and wiped Honghui's head and face first, and then wiped the water droplets off her own body. "Sister Qi and Sister Song both came quite early. The road is quite slippery. Did you two sisters fall?"

"Thank you for your concern, Concubine. My courtyard is closer to the main courtyard, and the maids took good care of it. I arrived at the main courtyard safely."

Song Gege did complain a few words, but because she was far away, she almost fell down.

Since the lady-in-waiting did not notify them to cancel today's greetings, they must come even if there is a strong wind or heavy rain, otherwise they would be disrespectful to the lady-in-waiting.

While they were talking, Li Gege also arrived, looking just as embarrassed. When she saw Yixiu, it was as if she had seen her backbone.

"I, your maid, pay my respects to Concubine, Concubine..."

Hey, hey, hey! Mother just helped you a few days ago, and you're just coming up to me like that? You're worthy of being the mother of my third brother Hongshi. You don't look very smart.

The first few women who arrived were chatting animatedly, one after another, talking about all sorts of things, including clothes and jewelry.

Honghui looked at the snacks on the table indifferently. Well, he wanted to eat them.

Not long after, someone came out from the inner room.

"Fujin is here."

The wife has arrived, why haven't Gang Gege and Miao Gege arrived yet? Without thinking too much, Yixiu took the lead and brought the three Geges to pay their respects to the wife.

Rouze first looked around at the four women below, then glanced at the other two empty seats with a little dissatisfaction. She had canceled the daily greetings out of kindness, but Gangege and Miaoge dared to be late? Were they spoiled by their favor?

"My sisters, I'm sorry for all the trouble. I'm pregnant now, so I didn't have time to inform you to cancel the visit today, and you guys had to make an extra trip."

"Madam, you are so kind that you have spared me and others from running around every day. How dare I not come to pay my respects to you on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month?"

In front of outsiders, Yixiu was always respectful to Fu Jin, and no one could tell that she held a grudge against her elder sister.

Rouze watched with satisfaction as her half-sister bowed down to her. No matter what, she was the wife now, and even if her half-sister had great luck, she could only be a small concubine.

"Sisters, please sit down. I have prepared ginger tea in advance. You should all drink a bowl later to avoid getting infected..."

While Lady Fu Jin was still performing favors, Gangege and Miaoge came running in hurriedly. They were both soaked, and Miaogege's clothes were all dirty, as if she had fallen.

Rouze stood up immediately, not caring about her previous little anger, "Hey! Sister Gan, Sister Miao, what happened to the two of you? Someone, help Gangege and Miaoge take care of them."

About half a minute later, Gangege and Miaogege just changed their clothes and came out, with water still dripping from their hair!

Gangege seemed to have something to say, but was stopped by Miaogege, "I and the others are late, please forgive me, Madam."

"My two sisters were late because they had no choice. How could I blame you? But my two sisters, did you fall anywhere?"

Ganggege rolled her eyes. She just felt uncomfortable all over and a little pain in her lower abdomen. All the suffering she suffered today was caused by Fu Jin.

"Madam, don't be so hypocritical. It's raining so hard today, but you didn't even send anyone to inform us that we were canceling the visit. There are so many sisters here, all of them are in a mess. Only you are lucky enough to stay in the main courtyard and don't have to come out."

Rouze couldn't bear to hear this, and she was also angry. "It is the rule of the backyard for concubines to pay respects to the mistress. Even if sister Gan complains to me, I am not at fault. There are so many high-ranking mansions in the capital, and their concubines have to pay respects to the principal wife every day, rain or shine. Sisters, can you tell me which family is as tolerant as ours?"

Miao Gege hurried to mediate, fearing that Fu Jin and Gang Gege would really quarrel. "Fu Jin, please don't be offended. Sister Gan was frightened today and her face is still pale! Sister Gan was impatient at the moment, so her words were a little disrespectful, but she didn't mean to target you."

But Gangegege didn't appreciate it, and even muttered out loud, "Are you tolerant? You are jealous! Things change, and now that I have started to treat everyone equally, you are anxious."

Ganggege is not stupid, she just saw that the authority of the concubine in the mansion is not as final as before, and she has been favored by the Fourth Master for two more days, so she took this opportunity to give face to the concubine!

Rou cannot stand provocation, not to mention that she wants to suppress these princesses in the backyard, otherwise, over time, anyone will dare to challenge her authority, "How dare you! Gang Gege, you dare to commit treason and challenge my authority? Come, force Gang Gege to kneel for two hours and let her reflect on herself!"

"Please calm down, Madam." "Madam, you are pregnant, so don't bother with Sister Gan!" "Madam..."

Rouze was annoyed by the noise, and her words were full of warning, warning everyone not to go against her again in the future, "Gan was the one who made the mistake today, and I punished her for her own good, otherwise she will become spoiled in the future! My sisters should take this as a warning and don't learn from her ignorance of the rules."

"Please forgive me this time, Madam! Madam..."

Gangege struggled but couldn't stand up to so many servants in the main courtyard. Moreover, she was the one who provoked the incident today, so it was right for Fu Jin to punish her. Didn't you see that the two maids sent by the emperor just watched her being carried out, and didn't try to persuade Fu Jin to calm down?

Rouze turned a deaf ear to Gangege's pleas for mercy, and looked contentedly at the crowd trembling as they waited for her to speak, "Okay, sisters, let's continue talking, and ignore those who have no manners."
