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

In August of the eleventh year of Yongzheng's reign, Emperor Yongzheng gave the empress dowager the posthumous title of Empress Xiaoci Xuanhui Wensu Dingyu Zantian Chengshengren, which means Empress Xiaociren.

In early September of the same year, Empress Xiaociren was buried together with the late Emperor Shengzuren in Jingling Mausoleum and was enshrined in the Taimiao.

Before Emperor Yongzheng had recovered from his grief, he sent away Prince Cheng Yunzhi, Prince Heng Yunqi, and Prince Yu Yunyou one after another. In April of the twelfth year, he sent away Prince Chun Yunyou as well. During this period, many concubines also passed away. It can be said that from the tenth to the twelfth year, the officials of the Ministry of Rites were very busy, fearing that anything went wrong and would anger the Emperor, who was in a depressed mood.

Yinzhen was really in a bad mood. He never smiled all day and rarely went to the harem. He usually went to Chengqian Palace to reminisce with the empress about Empress Xiaociren who had passed away many days ago.

However, although he was in a bad mood, he was still in good health and rarely summoned the imperial physician, which made the former court and the harem feel at ease.

Well, the current monarch is really not that old, and he has been on the throne for only eleven or twelve years. It's taken them a long time to adapt to the current monarch's temperament, and they don't want to replace him with the next monarch immediately.

The concubines even hoped that Emperor Yongzheng would live at least another ten years, and leave after their children grew up. After all, it is much better to have a father on the throne than a brother!

As for Honghui, he could only work hard on his own, making more trips to the palace or the Old Summer Palace every day, serving diligently in the hope of making the emperor happy.

However, there is an additional happy event this year, and it is related to Prince Zhao. One of the Uya clan members passed the imperial examination and ranked among the top three. Two of the Ulanara clan members passed the military examination, one ranked second and one ranked third. In addition, there are countless scholars and juren.

The two clans suddenly became prominent in the capital. It was said that except for those few aristocratic families, the rest of the clans were constantly making sarcastic remarks about them in private, and people were really envious.

What they envied was not the prosperity of the descendants of Uya and Ulanara, but the attention paid to them by Prince Zhao!

"We are really lucky, aren't we? We have Empress Xiaociren and the current Empress, so we are favored by Prince Zhao. He is so confident that he can just serve the food to them! If it were our clan, how could we make the prince worry so much?"

"Prince Zhao's wife was born in the Fucha family. She didn't need the prince's support. Instead, these two families got a great advantage. It's really enviable!"

There are many such things, but for a period of time, the sour words were almost heard by the Uya and Ulanara families. No, it should be said that they had already heard them, but they just didn't say it explicitly.

But those envious, jealous and hateful looks almost burned the backs of the people of the two tribes, and with those "humph" sounds, who couldn't see that the two tribes had become the target of public criticism?

"Empress Xiaociren and His Majesty are from our family. The Empress, Prince Zhao and Prince Ming are also related to our family. No matter how jealous they are, they can't change the fact that the royal descendants have my Uya blood!"

"Who says it's not true? We haven't seen a queen or queen mother from their clan, yet they keep saying sour things behind their backs. It's really annoying! My Ulanara clan finally had the current queen, and we also have a prince grandson who is willing to make plans for the clan. Why don't their princes and dukes grandsons make plans for them?"

Perhaps it was because they shared the same suffering, or perhaps it was because they could not tell their complaints to outsiders, but compared to the time when the two tribes were united and were not on good terms with each other, now they are as harmonious as one tribe. The leaders of the two tribes would get together from time to time to watch the fun of their own descendants. So how much laughter and anger were left behind under the red and white lists every time?

However, it seemed as if the two tribes were not really one tribe after all, and the two tribes were secretly competing to perform well in front of Prince Zhao, for fear that one would fall behind and disappoint the prince!

Prince Zhao Honghui himself would be happy to see this happen, and would even deliberately instigate a healthy competition between the two tribes in order to achieve what he had promised earlier.

Of course, how could he, who was busy with state affairs, put all his attention on training the two tribes? He would just show concern from time to time, and his subordinates would take care of other things for him.

Although the two clans were the target of public criticism, they fell silent after only two months. The reason was that April was the day when Prince Chun Yunyou passed away, and His Majesty was very unhappy!

After all the calculations, there have been only a few happy events from last year to this year. The rest of the time, there have been funerals almost every month, such as those of Empress Xiaociren, the Concubine Dowager, the kings, and the royal family and court officials.

Yinzhen, who felt that he was still in good health, couldn't help but feel a little bit of the separation of life and death, and the impermanence of the world!

"Alas! Prince Yu Ke is only in his early forties and he is gone. Prince Heng Wen and Prince Chun Du have also passed away before me. I don't even know how many years I have left to live?"

Honghui stood by and advised: "Pooh, pooh, pooh, what are you talking about? How old are you? You are not even sixty yet, you still have thirty or forty years to go!"

Yinzhen did not dare to have the extravagant hope of living to be a hundred years old. He only hoped to live to the age of the late emperor. But reality told him that some people who were healthy and free from disasters had their life span ended in their forties or fifties. Now he was fifty-seven years old. He wondered how many more years he had left before his name was written on the book of life and death?

"I only hope that I can have another five or ten years to arrange the affairs of state so that I can meet my ancestors with peace of mind. I think that as an emperor, I have not brought shame to the Aixinjueluo family..."

"You're talking nonsense again!" Honghui interrupted the emperor with a look of disapproval on his face, and brought him a bowl of calming soup and served it to him.

"Hmm~ It's so bitter, take it away, take it away..."

"You've been having a lot of random thoughts these days and can't sleep well at night. You should use more tranquilizing soup to calm your wandering thoughts!"

He said this, but handed over a piece of maltose, muttering, "Your son thinks you are overthinking. The imperial physician said that you are in good health, and five or ten years is not a problem. Is it because the imperial physician is skilled, or is your suspicion trustworthy?"

Yinzhen turned his head away awkwardly, not daring to look his eldest son in the eye again, for fear that he would say something that would make him feel guilty.

"You should cheer up. If you continue like this, you will only ruin your body. Wouldn't that make me, the Empress Dowager, and your brothers and sisters worried? If the Empress Dowager knew about this, she would scold you in her dreams!"

"It has been a year and a half since Empress Xiaociren passed away, but she has not appeared in my dreams once. Has she forgotten me?"

OK! After all this talk, we are back to the starting point. The fundamental reason why the emperor was in a bad mood was the death of the emperor's mother. The others just added fuel to the fire.

"You are the Son of Heaven, the ruler of a country. How dare evil spirits and monsters get close to you? Although the Royal Mother is the Queen Mother, humans and ghosts are different after all. Besides, considering how much the Royal Mother loves and values ​​you, how could she enter your dreams and hurt you?" Honghui said with a firm attitude.
