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

On New Year's Eve, a family dinner was held at the mansion. The Fourth Master and his wives, concubines, and children gathered together at one table.

The wife is still in confinement after childbirth, Gan died of an acute illness, and Miao is under house arrest. This year is much quieter than in the past. This is the common feeling of everyone present!

It is unlucky to greet the New Year with a sad face, so the adults at the table were forcing smiles, talking one after another to keep the atmosphere lively, and they had almost run out of auspicious words.

Family dinners are always like this, and there is nothing much to say about staying up all night to celebrate the New Year. If the Fourth Master is in a bad mood, everyone in the mansion will read his expression.

The voices of the aunts gradually faded away, and Honghui's little head tilted downward, still retaining a little consciousness in a half-asleep state.

"Honghui, Honghui..." "It's okay, he's young, let him sleep first, Su Peisheng, carry the eldest prince to the inner room to sleep, don't let him get cold."

Then he knew nothing!

……

"Honghui, wake up, it's time. We have to go pay our respects to your father and mother first, and then we have to go to the palace!"

Is it already the first day of the new year? Honghui was a little sleepy and asked, "What time is it?"

Yixiu lowered her voice and spoke in a gentle and kind tone, "It's not even the hour of the tiger yet! But your father has to attend the first day of the first lunar month, so he has to go to the palace early and wait. We can't waste time!"

Since his mother came to call him, Honghui did not delay any longer. In less than a quarter of an hour, he finished dressing, washing and other actions, and came to his mother wearing a royal blue brocade robe.

The candlelight was dim before, and Honghui didn't see clearly, but now he could see the dark circles under his mother's eyes covered by makeup. Did his mother stay up all night last night?

"My son wishes you always a happy life, good fortune and luck!"

Yixiu smiled from ear to ear, took the small ingots and purses and stuffed them into her son's hands, saying a lot of affectionate words. Although she was not in good spirits, she was still in a good mood. This year, Fu Jin would not enter the palace, so she would be the face of the Fourth Prince's Mansion, which was much more glorious than in previous years.

At this time, two bowls of dumplings were brought in from the small kitchen, both with vegetarian fillings.

The dumplings were not very big, and although they were vegetarian, they tasted pretty good. Honghui ate them with gusto, and in just a few moments, he had finished a bowl of dumplings.

He did not complain about why the dumplings were not filled with meat, because he knew that his ancestors had set a family precept that the first dumplings eaten during the New Year must be filled with vegetarian fillings, in order to commemorate the dead.

After breakfast, the mother and son went directly to the main courtyard where the concubine lived and the Fourth Master was also there.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone in the mansion had to pay their respects to the Fourth Master and his wife. This was the rule in the backyard! Regardless of whether the wife was in confinement or under house arrest, she had to show up today.

When the mother and son arrived at the place, the three princesses had already arrived. They greeted each other, congratulated each other with a few words of "Happy New Year", and then waited for the Fourth Master and his wife to arrive.

Perhaps because they saw that everyone who should have come had arrived, the Fourth Master and his wife quickly came out from the inner room, but the two of them did not look as close as before.

Without time to think about anything, Yixiu stood in the front and led the three princesses to bend down, "I/the maidservant pays respects to the prince and to the wife, and wishes the prince and the wife a long life, good health, and a happy new year!"

"The year has come and spring has returned. I, your son, wish you good fortune, wealth and longevity, and may you be safe, healthy, and prosperous every year. I wish you good luck, may all your wishes come true, and may you be happy and content."

Yinzhen's face was full of smiles. He helped his eldest son up. The more he looked at him, the more satisfied he felt. "Honghui, good, good, you are a big boy now!"

After saying this, he personally helped Yixiu up, then waved to the concubines and maids, "You all don't have to be polite, stand up!"

Rouze, who was watching the whole process, frowned, her eyes seemed to be sparking, and her body staggered, obviously stimulated.

She forced herself to smile, trying to attract Shilang's attention, "Master, why don't you give the reward first?"

There was no need for her to remind him, Su Peisheng had already taken action, but her personal maid was still standing there motionless, not smart at all.

Useless! After all, they haven't been serving by your side since they were young, so they are not considerate! Rouze missed the maids who followed her into the Fourth Prince's Mansion four years ago. They were the most loyal, but unfortunately, because of the accident of the eldest prince, they were all killed by the emperor's order!

Yinzhen frowned. Was Rouze giving him such a cold shoulder?

Yinzhen felt that he had shown enough respect for the old times, but he did not let Rouze continue to be the housekeeper. She was so resentful and even looked at him in front of everyone. It seemed that he had doted on Rouze too much in the past!

"Okay, Rouze, you're not feeling well, you can't come out to get some fresh air. Nanny Lin, help Fu Jin go to the inner room to rest!"

Rouze stared at her beloved Silang with eyes wide open in disbelief, and couldn't help but ask: "Silang, I..."

"Rou Ze, be obedient. This childbirth has seriously damaged your vitality. If you don't take good care of yourself, your life span will be shortened in the future." She blocked him with one sentence.

Seeing that Fu Jin was sent away by the Fourth Master after just a few words, Yixiu was still okay, but the three princesses were greatly shocked.

Isn't it said that the Fourth Master and his wife are in love and never allow others to come in? Was the three years of exclusive favor a lie? Or did the wife do something wrong? Otherwise, the Fourth Master would not have humiliated the wife in front of the concubines!

They were not well-informed, and the people they had previously placed there had been swept away by the Fourth Master. Now they were like deaf and blind people, and they didn't even know that there was a rift between the Fourth Master and his wife.

"Okay, all of you go down. I want to go to the palace with my concubine and the eldest prince to pay my respects. We're leaving now!"

Yinzhen ignored the princesses' little thoughts and left with Yixiu and Honghui. It was already late, and if they delayed any further, it would look unbecoming.

It is better to wait in the palace early than to arrive at the wrong time, otherwise it would be insincere!

It was late at night and still dark, but there were already pedestrians and carriages on the road, all heading to the palace to pay homage and attend the banquet in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Honghui fell asleep as soon as he got on the carriage. He was not the only one. Yinzhen and Yixiu also dozed off in the carriage and did not wake up until they were about to reach the Forbidden City.

Honghui was the first to wake up. After waking up, he did not wake up his father and mother. He picked up the snacks in the lunch box and started eating.

If you eat too little in the morning, you should eat more snacks to fill your stomach!

The first day of the first lunar month is the most tiring. One has to stay in the palace for half a day, during which time one can only find time to have some snacks. If one is unlucky, one can only stay in Ningshou Palace.

There are countless people who want to pay their respects to the Queen Mother today. If anything goes wrong, it will be embarrassing in front of all the dignitaries in the capital.
