After the Banquet for a Thousand Elders, the capital was quiet for a few days, and then it was the routine inspection tour of the capital.

Almost all the princes and brothers accompanied the emperor on this tour, even the reluctant Yinreng was brought along. As for the emperor's grandsons, there were also a few who were quite proud in front of Kangxi.

Honghui was one of them, and he had also been running around outside for more than 20 days.

However, perhaps due to Kangxi's poor health, he did not inspect many places, and he visited the same few places over and over again. This inspection tour was quite pleasant!

After meeting countless officials, it was soon time to return to the palace.

After the Qingming Festival, the emperor returned to Changchun Garden. At the same time, the princes and grandchildren returned to their respective residences.

The warm but still cold February passed by in a flash, and it was March in a blink of an eye.

After the tenth day of March, for some unknown reason, Yinzhen suddenly had more tasks to do, while Honghui, on the contrary, had less than half of the tasks he had done before.

However, this does not mean that he can have some free time, because he has to accompany the emperor all the time, go out at yin hour, and return home at you hour, which is almost like living in Changchun Garden.

Until mid-April, when he was inspecting the frontier, he was still the same as before, spending more time in the emperor's presence than sleeping in the tent. However, he had no intention of complaining. It was because the emperor's spirit and spirit had visibly declined!

In fact, the imperial physician said nothing, and Honghui asked nothing, but he could still see the decline in his complexion and complexion. Combined with the memories in his mind, he knew that Huang Mafa would not live long.

When the time comes, he is reluctant and sentimental. With so many thoughts in his mind, he can only be more considerate and filial, trying his best to leave no regrets for Huang Mafa!

"Huang Mafa, please put on more clothes. Although it is summer, it is still chilly in the morning and evening. You must not get cold."

"I know, don't worry about it. But has the fourteenth prince passed away?" He said this, but took the thin blanket handed to him by his grandson and asked casually.

"Don't worry, my Fourteenth Uncle left the capital yesterday and went straight to Ganzhou." Honghui sat down again and continued playing the half-finished game of Go.

After the move was made, he had something to say: "Do you still feel bumpy when you sit in this imperial chariot? My grandson is incompetent and cannot come up with a suitable way to repair the road for the time being, so I can only work on the carriage! The wheels of this imperial chariot are made of a crop called rubber tree from the West. Do you think you can accept it?"

Kangxi narrowed his eyes and felt it comfortably. After a moment, he replied, "Yes, there are some bumps, but they are very mild. I didn't expect that there are such good things in the West."

"There are many good things in the West, but they have not been introduced to the Qing Dynasty. Even rubber was bought by sea merchants at a high price, but it has already flooded the local area. It's just that Westerners don't know the value of rubber and don't know how to use it."

"Oh? Is that so? Well done! How can a small Western country compare to the rich talents of our Qing Dynasty?"

Honghui did not refute because he knew it was useless to refute. The maritime ban had not yet been lifted, so how could the prejudice against the West be easily eliminated?

"What the Emperor Mafa said is very true..."

The conversation in the imperial carriage disappeared with the wind, and fell into the eyes of the princes and brothers who were riding horses to protect it, and all kinds of thoughts came to their mind.

It has come to this, who would believe it if you still say it is a deliberate attempt to confuse people?

Looking at the cold face of the fourth brother, everyone had different expressions. Let them take action? Those who were not as good as the fourth brother in terms of skills, and those who could compete with the fourth brother stopped on their own! Let them not take action? They were unwilling to do so in their hearts! This back and forth torture almost drove them crazy.

Of course, this is only the voice of three or two people. Most of the princes have given up and stopped thinking about the throne.

For example, Yinzhen was thinking about what kind of title he would be given when the fourth prince came to power? As for not having a good life in the future? Ha! Even if you don't consider the monk's face, you have to consider the Buddha's face. Given how much the fourth prince valued Honghui, how could he not take Honghui's feelings into consideration?

For example, Yin'e was neither worried nor happy. The new emperor's ascension to the throne seemed to have nothing to do with him. At this moment, he was only thinking, "When can I go to Brother Nine's workshop to take a look? There are so many interesting gadgets there!"

As for Yinxiang, he did not stay around his fourth brother, but went to keep company with his second brother Yinreng.

"Brother, are you still feeling uncomfortable? Should we ask the imperial physician to come and take a look?"

Yinreng glanced at him lazily and replied word by word, "No, I'm just a little tired. I'll have a good rest for a few days when we get to the Rehe Palace. Go out and ride your horse. Why are you staying in the carriage with an old man like me?"

Yinxiang immediately lowered his head: "Second brother..."

"Okay, you can stay wherever you want, but don't bother your second brother. I'm sick, but I'm not seriously ill or dying!" For the sake of their old friendship, she gave him some face.

Everyone had their own thoughts and soon arrived at the Rehe Palace.

……

Mid-May, Rehe Palace.

Honghui went to the imperial court to meet the Khorchin prince who had returned. He met Honghan, who was holding a long sword and waving it as if he was flying in the air. Upon closer inspection, he did look quite vigorous.

"Yes, you have improved in riding and archery. Go back and compete with the Mongolian guys in the paddock."

Hong Han, however, did not seem very happy: "I am not as good as you, big brother. This little skill is nothing. Don't let it hurt my father and big brother's face again..."

Honghui grabbed his brother's shoulders and rubbed them with his right hand, "What nonsense are you talking about? You are only sixteen, and you can use a seven-force bow. You still call this nothing? Did someone say something? Why do you care about them?"

"No……"

Seeing Honghan, who was usually cheerful and lively, rarely showing such a decadent look, Honghui thought that something serious had happened, someone was playing tricks in front of them brothers!

"Honghan, don't listen to their nonsense. Looking around the palace, who else can compare with you except me? But I am just a few years older than you. When you are older, you will catch up. You are also one of the great grandchildren who are both civil and military, so don't underestimate yourself, okay?"

Hong Han thought to himself: Big brother, you don't understand. I will never be able to catch up with you in this life! But what I am worried about is not this, but the fear of damaging your reputation. As for Ama, haha, it's just a by-product!

Honghui immediately knew what Honghan was struggling with, so he tried to say, "Why do I need you to save my face? It's just face. I can't bring it with me when I'm born, and I can't take it with me when I die. I never value it! Besides, don't you know that when my father was young, he could only use a bow with a force of 4.5? He didn't feel sorry for himself, so why should you worry about him?"

Fourth brother, you are just making trouble for yourself!
