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

The imperial decree granting the marriage has been issued. No matter how uncomfortable Honghui feels, the overall situation has been decided.

Just five days later, An Lingrong, the daughter of the county magistrate from the small county of Songyang, entered Prince Zhao's mansion in a sedan chair. Before she had time to belittle herself, she quickly adapted to the life in Prince Zhao's mansion.

Bullying the weak and fearing the strong? Jealousy? None of that! The wife was kind and generous, and the rules in the backyard were relaxed. The two sisters were very busy, so they rarely saw each other, let alone being bullied. The mansion was very peaceful.

As for competing for favor? There was no need. The prince came to the backyard ten days a month, four of which he went to the main courtyard of the wife. The three princesses, including her, went two days each, without exception.

There was one thing that made her feel a little uncomfortable, which was that the prince was sometimes too polite and distant towards her.

An Lingrong was a sensitive and thoughtful person. As soon as she entered the mansion, she realized that her husband was always uncomfortable with her. At first, she thought that it was because of her humble background that the prince disliked her. However, neither the wife nor anyone in the mansion showed any dislike for her.

——What the superior likes, the subordinates will like even more. Only the prince, the lord of a mansion, has never despised her. Therefore, everyone in the mansion takes her, a mere daughter of a county magistrate, seriously.

She even pointed to the maid Songguo who served her and comforted her with soft words: "The princess's family lives in a remote place, so maybe she doesn't know the master's temperament. You have seen these days that which noble family doesn't have a lot of concubines in the backyard? But we only have three in our house. It's because the master doesn't want to!"

"How do you say this?"

"Master, as the eldest son of the current dynasty, has a very noble status. How could he want a beautiful woman? But Master is not interested in women by nature. Let alone the wife, Princess Liu and Princess Zhang are not beautiful either. As for you, although you are only second to the wife in the mansion, you are just pretty."

These words were all true. An Lingrong was not unhappy. She just listened carefully to Song Guo's continued words. "You have seen these days that there is no distinction between favored and unfavored in the mansion. All the courtyards live peacefully. It is clear that the master's mind is not in the backyard."

An Lingrong was stunned for a moment. This was something she couldn't figure out no matter how hard she tried!

My father was just a small county magistrate, but he had many beautiful concubines in the backyard. Although the number of concubines in His Majesty's harem was not as many as that of the retired emperor, there were still quite a few. There were only a few cats in the mansion, which looked very strange.

"My father has the world in his heart, and is not bound by love affairs." After a long while, she murmured to herself.

Finally, I've persuaded her! Songguo breathed a sigh of relief, took a look at the sensitive and thoughtful master's expression, and explained again: "I have been serving in the mansion for a long time, and I know a little bit of secrets. It is said that the master does not want beautiful concubines, family background, or noisy people. The master also said that he hopes that the mansion will be quiet and no one will make trouble in the backyard."

"Really?" It sounds weirder and weirder the more I listen!

"That's right. There has been a rule since the time of the Emperor's residence that the competition for favor in the backyard cannot involve the offspring. Our master simply gave up the competition for favor and treated everyone equally except the wife."

An Lingrong knew what was going on! The good news was that if she didn't do anything wrong, she would have a stable life for the rest of her life. The bad news was that she couldn't use all means to win favor, otherwise she wouldn't be able to pass the test of the master.

Well, being a princess in Prince Zhao's mansion can already support my mother. I believe my father would not dare to offend Prince Zhao, the eldest son and the one who has the greatest hope of inheriting the throne in the future!

One doubt was answered, but the other remained unanswered until later when her master showed her special favor and sent people to Songyang to appease her biological father An Bihuai and diagnose her mother. Then An Lingrong no longer worried about this uneasiness.

Anyway, all her wishes have been fulfilled one by one, so why should she still think about those unimportant things?

Honghui didn't pay attention to An Lingrong's hesitation. Well, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

Two months later, until mid-October, this discomfort gradually subsided, and she left a message: "You have loved embroidery and incense making since childhood. When you are free, you can study incense recipes or read books to learn skills. There is a library in the mansion, which has plenty of ancient books!

As for embroidery? Don't stay in your room embroidering all the time, or you'll hurt your eyes and follow in your mother's footsteps." After that, Honghui began to treat this person as an ordinary princess and no longer competed with her.

……

In late October, the Qing army won a great victory over the Dzungar Khanate and captured Yili in one fell swoop.

In early November, Tsewang Arabtan was captured alive by Prince Xian Yinzhen, while his son Galdan Tseren managed to escape and headed towards the Tianshan Mountains with the remnants of his troops.

In mid-November, the Qing army returned triumphantly.

Although the result of the war was a great victory, the process was not smooth. In September, Tsewang Arabtan still instigated and supported Lobsang Danjin to launch a rebellion in Qinghai. Although it was suppressed by the Qing army within half a month, it also delayed some time. Otherwise, the Qing army would have completely captured Yili in early October.

When they returned to the capital in triumph this time, Lobsang Danjin was also arrested and brought back to the capital for punishment. It was said that he and Tsewang Arabtan scolded each other every day, making the generals laugh at them.

On the fourth day of the twelfth month, the Qinghai army arrived at the capital, and Yinzhen personally welcomed his two brothers and the entire army.

"Prince Xian, Prince Chun, and all the soldiers have made great contributions to suppressing the rebellion. I am very pleased. I will reward them according to their merits in the future so as not to disappoint the soldiers."

After a grand ceremony of victory and captive surrender, Yinzhen and Yinyou finally found time to ask about the news of the retired emperor who had not yet arrived, "Brother, where is the emperor?"

Yinzhen's face froze, his expression flickered, and he tried his best to pretend that nothing had happened. "The emperor is old and has difficulty moving. I will rest in Changchun Garden for now. I will go to pay my respects tomorrow."

Before Yinzhen could react, Yinyou suddenly spoke: "Brother, please don't lie to me. Is the emperor unwell?"

"Is the Emperor not feeling well? Brother, Fourth Brother..."

Seeing that Yinzhen was about to start shouting, Yinzhen frowned and stopped him with his eyes, then whispered, "I was afraid that you would make a scene at this triumphal ceremony, so I kept it a secret for the time being. In fact, the emperor had several serious illnesses in the winter, and now he is bedridden. The imperial physician said that he will not survive until the beginning of next spring..."

"Fourth brother..."

"Don't complain, don't complain! This is the decision of the Emperor. He doesn't want to ruin your triumphant return. Yinyou, Yinzhen, no matter how worried you are, just hold on until today. These tens of thousands of soldiers and the entire court are watching us!"

After saying this, he called Honghui over, "Honghui, you will stay with Prince Chun and Prince Xian for me, and watch them closely."

I believe these two people will give this face to their nephew!
