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

"Mammy, my grandson is hungry. Is there anything delicious to eat? The banquet in the Hall of Supreme Harmony is not as delicious as the one in the palace." Honghui touched his stomach. The snacks were not enough to fill him up. Less than an hour had passed and he was hungry again.

Defei looked at her grandson leaning on Yixiu with a smile on her face, "Yes, Mama, how could there be no food in the palace? Mama knew that a child like you might not be able to get used to the banquet, so she asked the kitchen to prepare a few dishes in advance, waiting for you to come back and eat!"

"Zhuxi, tell the kitchen to bring in a few dishes that the eldest prince likes." She had heard from the fourth and thirteenth brothers that Honghui had done a great job in front of the emperor today and brought great honor to his father, the fourth brother.

Just wait and see. I'm afraid that in two days, the emperor will send the reward to Yonghe Palace. As a mama, she can be regarded as benefiting from her own grandson. After all, she has the blood of Ulanara and Uya flowing in her body, so she is considerate!

The table was filled with dishes like roasted quail, honey-glazed pork, cherry meat, and stewed pigeon, all of which were Honghui's favorites.

Defei was still not satisfied and wanted to add one or two more, but Honghui reacted and quickly stopped her.

"Madam, that's enough, that's enough, enough for the three grandchildren." Honghui pulled Madam, Father, Thirteenth Uncle and Fourteenth Uncle to sit down together, as if they were having another small banquet in Yonghe Palace.

My mother and aunts held a separate table elsewhere, where the sisters-in-law could talk more easily.

He, the youngest, used it the most throughout the whole process. Except for Yinzhen, the others only used it briefly as a token of their appreciation.

Yinzhen was already conscious. He picked up the chopsticks and gulped down a large bowl of food, which showed that he was hungry.

Concubine De was the first to be unable to bear it. She was also hungry, but Honghui ate so elegantly and steadily, and he also knew how to chew slowly.

However, he swallowed the food without any hesitation and ate voraciously, showing no manners of a prince at all.

"Old Fourteen, where are your manners? You're not even as good as your three-year-old nephew! Eat slowly and chew food carefully. How did your mother teach you to do that?"

Yinzhen was not afraid at all, and even smiled and said, "My son is hungry! Besides, everyone sitting here is my family, so why should I care about so many etiquettes? Mother, please stop nagging, or you should just take care of your eldest grandson!"

Yinzhen was shocked. His fourteenth brother was still so confident that he didn't even take his mother's words to heart. It wasn't like that between him and his mother, but why did he feel a little sad?

That's because the closer you are, the less you need to worry about. On the contrary, the more distant you are, the more you have to worry about! Seeing that Ama looked disappointed, Honghui couldn't help but change the subject, "Fourteenth Uncle, you can't drink so much anymore. My Ama and Thirteenth Uncle were exhausted today. They had a hard time helping you back! Come to think of it, Fourteenth Uncle, you are so lucky. Fortunately, the emperor didn't notice that you were drunk, otherwise he would be angry."

Yinzhen ignored the latter part of the sentence. He was just that thick-skinned. "Fourth brother, Thirteenth brother, thank you for your help today. Otherwise, I wouldn't even be able to return to Yonghe Palace."

What's the point? Honghui wanted to tell his uncle everything he thought, so that he wouldn't be used by others and become enemies with his father.

Yinzhen couldn't help but scold him. Even a three-year-old child like Honghui knew that he couldn't behave in front of the emperor, but Yinzhen, who was already seventeen years old, didn't know that! "Okay, Yinzhen, you should be more careful in the future. You dare to drink so much in front of the emperor, aren't you afraid of being disrespectful in front of the emperor?"

Yinzhen felt guilty and spoke hesitantly, "I was just happy for a moment, so I drank a little more. Didn't others drink too? Fourth brother, you are still blaming me. I have rarely seen you stand up to toast, and I have never seen anyone come to toast you. You are worse than me!"

Facing his fourth brother's murderous gaze, Yinzhen lowered his head and pretended to concentrate on eating, not daring to tease his usually strict fourth brother.

"Come, eat, eat. Honghui, eat this, it's delicious. Yinzhen, you also shut up and eat your food. Let your fourth brother make the decision himself."

Including Concubine De, several people present changed the topic unanimously. What to say to this little fool? There is nothing to say!

After the meal, even if Defei wanted to keep him, there was no reason to do so. If her adult son stayed in the harem for too long, there would be gossip in the palace.

The warm time was so short, De Fei suppressed her reluctance and said, "Okay, you all go back to your own houses! Come and pay respects to mother another day. Fourth brother, you must bring Honghui to the palace on New Year's Eve. I, De Fei, cannot leave the palace, so I can only wait for you to come in and pay respects. And Fourteenth brother, if your Hongchun can bear it, bring him in to show mother."

"Yinxiang, although your biological mother has passed away for a long time, you were raised by me. I have the responsibility to take care of you and give you advice. Now that your fourth brother and fourteenth brother have sons, you should also keep them in mind."

The three of them answered "yes" at the same time, not daring to be perfunctory. The Qing Dynasty ruled the country with filial piety, and filial piety was required for both biological and adoptive mothers.

Looking at the backs of the group walking away, Concubine De sighed and almost murmured to herself, "I have been trapped in the Forbidden City for my whole life. Alas! Will I ever be able to leave the palace?"

Walking out of the harem is the Palace of Heavenly Purity, then the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and walking through the long palace road ahead is the palace gate. They came in from the Donghua Gate, so they had to go out from the Donghua Gate as well.

It was already the afternoon. After everyone left the palace and exchanged a few words, they went their separate ways and got on their carriages to return to their respective homes.

On the way back, he saw many small vendors and shops, and the streets were bustling with people. Honghui looked around for a while and then lowered the curtain. He was not that curious.

……

"Shut up!"

"Honghui, Honghui, wake up. We're home."

Honghui rubbed his eyes as he heard his mother's gentle voice. Huh? When did he fall asleep?

Yixiu quickly grabbed her son's hand. Was he half asleep? "Honghui, don't rub your eyes. They will become more red and swollen. Mother has a clean towel here. Come, let me wipe them for you."

Honghui was young and it was the right time for him to sleep more, but he woke up too early today, so he couldn't hold on on the way back. She and the Fourth Master carried him all the way, fearing that he would bump or hit something.

When she turned around, she saw her grandfather rubbing his arm secretly. He had been tired today, supporting his fourteenth brother and holding Honghui, which made her feel distressed too.

"Master, how about I give you a massage?"

Yinzhen was tempted, but gave up. "Let Su Peisheng come later. You take Honghui back to Haitang Garden first. I still need to go see Rouze."

Today is the Golden Award Day. If he stays with Yixiu and her son all the time, Rou will think too much.
