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

Chapter 231: Receiving the wind and washing away the dust

After three rounds of conversation, the younger generation Honghui finally came up and said, "Fourteenth Uncle, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are so majestic. I wonder when I can have such a majestic demeanor as you."

Yinzhen patted the shoulder of Honghui, who was both his nephew and half a student, and half leaned on him. "You have a strong body. You look thin, but you are actually full of strength. Wow, you have grown a lot in the past two years. I remember when we went to the war, you were as tall as me. Now you are almost a head taller. In the royal family, you are one of the tallest!"

Honghui bent his calves in cooperation, lowered his body and let Yinzhen lean on him, "Fourteenth Uncle, thank you for your compliment. Perhaps it's because I've used too much milk and I don't have any dietary restrictions, so my appetite has improved. I've had cramps in my legs and feet when I've been sleeping for the past two years, and the palace doctor said I still have a lot of room to grow."

Is it still growing? It’s already eight feet tall. If it grows any longer, it will be nine feet tall!

Everyone present glanced at Prince Yong Yinzhen and then at Honghui in unison, with doubts filling their hearts.

His biological father is seven feet three inches tall, and his own son is over eight feet tall at the age of twenty. Looking at his grandfather, the current Emperor is only seven feet tall. As for Prince Yong's wife and Concubine De, they seem to be very petite. I really don't know how this Honghui/Prince Honghui has such a physique?

Some of the older ones dug up the memory of the late Grand Secretary Fei Yanggu, but recalled a piece of data that was less than eight feet tall and put it aside without mentioning it again. In the end, the puzzle was not solved.

"Wow, then you have to teach Uncle Fourteen. Hongchun is just over seven feet tall, and Hongming is not that strong either. I don't have high requirements, I'll be satisfied if he is seven feet five inches tall." Yinzhen never understood what politeness meant, so he asked quickly.

"…" Huh? A way to grow taller? He didn't remember doing anything special? He just unknowingly became a head taller than his uncles and cousins! Was it really the excuse he made before?

Honghui racked his brains to say a few important points, such as drinking more milk, eating more eggs, going to bed early and getting up early, and not getting up too early... ahem... it's just a mention, anyway, the princes and grandchildren of the emperor nowadays don't dare to marry or take concubines too early.

Everyone present pricked up their ears and listened carefully, some even nodded from time to time, as if they had taken these words to heart.

Seeing that the topic was about to go off topic, Honghui quickly cleared his cough and drew everyone's attention back, "Fourteenth Uncle, it's getting late. Let's go back to Beijing first. We can't miss the time! I'll tell you the rest in detail later."

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Yinzhen waved his hand back, showing his majesty and dominance, "Get on the horse and return to the capital!"

All of a sudden, a group of soldiers mounted their horses and headed towards the capital under the gaze of princes and dignitaries.

As for the triumphal ceremony that followed, it was actually not that grand. The reason for this was that the war in the Northwest Army had not yet been settled and the army had not yet officially returned in triumph.

Of course, Yinzhen was not dissatisfied. On the contrary, before he came back, he thought there would be no triumphal ceremony. Unexpectedly, when he returned to the capital, he was pleasantly surprised, which made him very satisfied!

……

Changchun Garden.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. May you be blessed with good health and good health."

"Stand up." Seeing the Fourteenth Old Man who had become darker and thinner, Kangxi was quite moved, with a hint of pity in his eyes. "You have become darker and thinner. If Concubine De saw you, she would probably shed tears. Take a good rest in Beijing for the next few months, and then return to the Ganzhou front after you have recovered."

Yinzhen seemed a little hesitant: "I want to attack Tsewang Arabtan next year, but I am afraid I can't stay in Beijing for long. What's more, my seventh brother is still insisting in Ganzhou. How can I stay in the mansion and enjoy a peaceful life?"

"It's freezing cold now, and it's difficult to transport military supplies. The earliest we can send troops out is early next spring. You can still stay for two or three months! As for Yinyou, let him come to the capital to celebrate the New Year at the end of next year. I haven't seen you for two or three years." Kangxi thought for a moment and gave a solution.

This time Yinzhen really nodded and stopped pretending to refuse. Kangxi seemed to have thought of something and reminded him vaguely, "You have returned to the capital, so your family should pay more attention to you. I remember that no one has made any noise in your house since the forty-sixth year, right? Ahem...how about calling the imperial physician to take a look?!!"

The Fourteenth Prince actually had quite a few children, but they were far less than that of his elder brother, the Fourth Prince. Kangxi had no intention of caring about his bedroom affairs. In fact, the Fourth Prince was already in his forties and the family was still having children. As for the Fourteenth Prince, well, it was better not to mention him!

Yinzhen didn't want to think about it anymore. What the emperor wanted to say was actually this? His face flushed immediately. He was embarrassed and angry at the same time. He stammered, "Your son didn't... Your son..."

"Okay, okay, you are in good health, but you have lost a lot of weight in the past two years. I will order the imperial physician to take care of you." Then let the imperial physician take a look, so that the Fourteenth Prince will not be afraid to see a doctor because of his illness!

"Thank you very much for your grace, Father." He was so ashamed. All his majesty and dignity had disappeared completely.

Kangxi also felt uncomfortable, so he cleared his throat and changed the subject. "This time, you and Yinyou have made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion in Tibet, and have won many victories over the Dzungars. Once Tsewang Arabtan is executed, I will reward you according to your merits."

"I will do my best to defeat Junggar as soon as possible. Please rest assured, Father."

"I know your ability, and I also know that there is enough food and grass in the court. However, Tsewang Arabtan is not an easy person to deal with, so you must be vigilant!

A few days ago, a spy from the Tsarist Empire, now renamed the Russian Empire, brought news that Tsewang Arabtan had sent an envoy with a letter to meet Peter the Great, probably intending to unite with the Russian Empire to deal with the Qing Dynasty.

Although I have sent troops to keep an eye on the Russian Empire, you should also be on the lookout for anyone trying to sneak in. Tsewang Arabtan is a very cunning man!"

Yinzhen agreed to all the requests, not daring to slack off in the slightest. Unexpectedly, this attitude pleased Kangxi!

"Well, I won't say any more to you. There's a welcoming banquet in Changchun Garden today, specially for you. Why don't you come with me?"

Afterwards, the royal father and son moved to Yanshuang Tower and sat together with the princes and grandchildren who had been waiting there.

There was singing and dancing all the time. The palace was warm as spring, making people linger there, feeling nostalgic and reluctant to leave.

Is there floor heating here? Seeing Uncle Eight approaching Uncle Fourteen as if to show his courtesy or to plot some evil plan, Honghui casually glanced at the ground. Well, it's better to look at the pattern on the wooden board than to see it struggling to death!
