Honghui dodged consciously and went to the inner room. He told Huimin, who had just woken up, about his son's condition through the screen, "Big brother is fine and healthy. He woke up from hunger and is breastfeeding! You can rest assured and take care of yourself. I will take care of Big brother..."

After comforting her in this way and hearing some confidence in Huimin's words, he returned to the front yard of Fuyun Courtyard with peace of mind and slept until the evening.

During the next two days, the palace was so busy that even the greetings on the fifteenth were cancelled. Every place and every courtyard had their own thoughts, waiting for the third day bathing banquet on the sixteenth.

As everyone is looking forward to it, October 16th is coming soon.

On the sixteenth day, all the masters and dignitaries in the mansion watched helplessly as the house was filled with distinguished guests, from princes and princes to royal family members, dukes, and officials of the previous dynasty. Those with invitations were respectfully invited into the mansion, while those without invitations came uninvited. The gate of Prince Yong's mansion was very crowded.

Hearing the chaos reported by Su Peisheng, Yinzhen frowned and simply issued an order: "Pass the order down, those who don't have a postcard can leave a message of congratulation, and the gifts can be returned, and no one is allowed to enter."

Su Peisheng did as he was told, but as soon as he arrived at the gate of the mansion, he was greeted by Eunuch Li Dequan, who was beside the Emperor.

"Li An Daan, what wind brought you here today?"

Li Dequan glanced at the chaos in front of the door and said, "Your Majesty has issued an order, but what is this?"

"They are all uninvited guests. The prince has instructed me to accept the congratulatory messages and return the gifts. They don't need to come in. We have never had any contact with each other... Li An Da, please come in."

There are so many people who cling to the powerful, Li Dequan is accustomed to it, but Prince Yong is still so cautious, living up to his reputation of being "ruthless"!

Li Dequan smiled faintly, and as soon as he arrived, he read out the imperial edict, "Your Majesty has decreed that the great-grandson of Prince Yong's mansion be given the title of Yonghu. I decree this!"

The imperial edict was just two or three simple sentences, but the profound meaning behind it...

The people present looked at each other in bewilderment and couldn't help but look at Prince Yong Yinzhen, who still had a stern face.

"Your son obeys the order and thanks the Emperor for the reward." The thirty years of cultivating Qi has been a waste of time. How can others know my true colors?

The same was true for Honghui. He also thanked the favor calmly, with a relaxed attitude and no trace of pride.

An old fox and a young fox, neither of them is easy to deal with! I could not have guessed in the past that Prince Yong and his son were of such a character, so sincere and not seeking power, ha!

As many people as there are pondering, as many people think they have made a mistake. The name of Yonghu, the attitude of Prince Yong and his son who treated it as normal, and the various achievements made by Prince Yong's Mansion in those years...

What does His Majesty mean by this? Could it be? ...

The guests all looked dazed, each thinking about something, and after the third-day banquet, everyone had no appetite.

The concubines and princesses in Prince Yong's mansion could not hide their excitement at first, but when they thought of the current situation of the eldest prince being the only one in power in the mansion, their inflated ambitions suddenly cooled down.

The same was true in the Fucha Mansion. Some youngsters could not hide their changing expressions and were pinched back by the wise elders. The elders wanted to warn the youngsters back and forth, "Why are you so excited? What are you excited about? Did His Majesty give a clear order? It's just a name. Which of the princes doesn't have a good name? What if His Majesty saw that the little prince was born with a good time and gave him a favor?"

The third-day bathing banquet on October 16 ended with everyone thinking about their own things.

Before the royal family and court officials could react and show goodwill to Prince Yong, Prince Yong directly announced that he would not see visitors. After that, the ninth prince Yinzhen improved the method of making colored glaze, or glass, and for the first time, glass mirrors that could clearly reflect a person's face appeared in the shops under his name.

Suddenly, all the ladies in the capital flocked to it, and the concubines in the palace each held a small handheld glass mirror. Only a few places had crystal clear mirrors, such as the Qianqing Palace, the Yiku Palace, and the Yonghe Palace.

This time, Honghui and his nephew Yinzhen each took three points of the credit for the production of the glass and even the glass mirror, and the remaining four points went to the craftsmen below, but Honghui was kept secret from the outside world.

Although Kangxi knew all the inside story!

"Yin'er, just think about your own things and don't always bring Honghui with you." His grandson has made great progress and achieved one achievement after another. He is not unhappy, but human energy is limited. Compared to these small inventions, there are many more important things.

Yinzhen sighed with a pursed mouth, knowing full well that what goes in one ear and out the other, "You are worrying too much. Anyone would get bored if they keep thinking about government affairs. Your eldest grandson is killing time with these little toys!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How do you know? You uncle and nephew have been hanging out together for many years. I know this, but I didn't care because I saw that you didn't miss your work. You should know your limits. Studying these little things all day is not the right way..."

Yinzhen didn't like what he heard from Honghui last year, and thought about the progress in the workshop, so he boasted: "Your Majesty, you are wrong. This is not a small thing. I have shown you the glass recipe. The cost is directly reduced by 90%. Do you think it is cheap?"

Moreover, my workshop is developing a telescope and has made some progress. Maybe in the future, the Qing Dynasty will no longer need to ask the West for help?"

Kangxi was looking forward to it, but he didn't dare to look forward to it. He just said a few words, "Let's talk about it after it is developed. You have the nerve to bring up such a small progress. If it fails, you will lose face in front of me."

Yinzhen snorted secretly, not daring to retort: ​​"Father, just wait. A telescope is nothing. I and Honghui are developing a smooth, hard and flat road... No, I didn't say anything."

Hey! Why is your mouth bald?

However, Kangxi did not give him time to react: "I am not deaf, so tell me the truth. I will separate you uncle and nephew!" It is impossible to separate them, Kangxi can see that the ninth brother will have a bright future.

Yinzhen slapped himself and explained awkwardly: "Can you pretend you didn't hear it? This road construction project hasn't even taken shape yet. If there are any results, I will report it to you. I'm afraid I'll be embarrassed if I tell you now." Isn't it shameful to brag?

"Okay, it's up to you. I shouldn't interfere! As for what you just said, I won't ask about it. Just don't let it delay the important matter. Do you hear me?"

"Your son obeys your order~"

"Go away, I can't bear to see you!"

Kangxi had one attitude toward Yinzhen and another attitude toward his grandson.

"Have you gotten the hang of your job? Have you encountered any difficult problems in the Ministry of Rites? If you think it's easy, I'll assign you a few more tasks. Old Nine is a bit out of touch, don't learn bad things from him!"
