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

Chapter 49 A small punishment but a big warning

At the beginning of the Wei hour, the banquet in the Hall of Supreme Harmony gradually came to an end. During the ceremony of kneeling once and kowtowed three times, the Emperor stood up first, and then the princes, clan members and ministers left one after another, each heading in their respective directions.

Concubine De estimated the time and sent a young eunuch to check from time to time. She was afraid that the Fourteenth Prince would get drunk again!

At about three quarters past three, a young eunuch came to report that he saw several gentlemen coming to the Yonghe Palace.

"Ama!" Seeing Ama's figure from afar, Honghui rushed over to him.

Yinzhen didn't drink much, and he walked steadily. He held his son's little head with his right hand and brought him to Defei and others.

Concubine De first glanced at the Fourteenth Brother, and seeing that he could still walk and his eyes were not distracted, she felt relieved. She turned around and looked at the Fourth Brother and the Thirteenth Brother, who were both walking steadily, and she felt relieved.

Men, who doesn't like this drink? She didn't stop them from drinking, but she was afraid that they would be disrespectful in front of the emperor if they got drunk. Although being born in the royal family, one can enjoy endless wealth and splendor, but one also has to endure multiple restrictions and cannot act freely.

The three brothers knelt down together to pay their respects to Concubine De, and said a lot of auspicious words, "Son pays his respects to mother, wishing mother..."

"Alright, everyone, get up. Fourth Brother, Thirteenth Brother, Fourteenth Brother, you are finally back. I will now hand your families over to you safely. It is getting late, all of you should leave the palace. I will not keep you any longer!"

There were many people here, so she didn't say a word about what happened in Ningshou Palace, lest the emperor think that she was intentionally trying to sow discord between the fourth and eighth brothers. Today, the Yonghe Palace family was wronged, but Concubine De couldn't push it any further. She had to be tolerant and generous enough to keep things quiet, and not let it rise to the level of affecting the relationship between the brothers.

However, the emperor has no control over what the fourth prince thinks or does in private.

Since no one showed any signs of abnormality, Yinzhen thought that nothing happened today, so he took Yixiu and Honghui, mother and son, to say goodbye to Concubine De and return home.

It was not until he got on the carriage that he learned from Honghui about what happened today in Ningshou Palace when the Eighth Lady attacked Yixiu.

"Father, you don't know that Eighth Aunt was very arrogant in Ningshou Palace today. Not only was she not afraid of Fifth Aunt, she also taught Mother a lesson."

"what happened?"

Honghui had a good memory and recounted everything that happened today. At the end, he apologized to his father, "Father, I was too impulsive today and shouldn't have talked back to my elders. Please punish me."

Yinzhen's face was distorted and his eyes were wide open with anger, but he was not looking at his eldest prince, but at Guo Luoluo.

What a Guoluo family! When will it be her turn to be the head of the Fourth Prince's Mansion? Yixiu is at least a concubine, and she is from the Ulanara clan. How come she is so lowly that she can be bullied by others?

However, for now, we have to appease Honghui first.

"Honghui, you are right. You just wanted to protect your mother. Father hasn't even praised you for your responsibility! Also, what you said today was ambitious. You have to earn your own future. How can you be considered a royal descendant if you beg others for help?"

The eldest prince is ambitious, and as his father, he is proud of it.

Honghui nodded obediently, then took my mother's hand and said, "Father, I have suffered a great injustice today. Eighth Aunt said such harsh words in front of the ladies, so I couldn't stand it. Eighth Aunt obviously knows only a little about the things in our house, and mother is not as bad as she said!"

Yinzhen extended his right hand and embraced Yixiu and Honghui, mother and son, in his arms, "You are both right, it was that Guo Luoluo who was making trouble for no reason and showing off her power in my house!"

"It doesn't matter if I suffer a little injustice, but the Eighth Lady is too bullying. I have never bullied my eldest sister by taking advantage of her favor, and I have always respected her, as you know." It is obvious that my eldest sister came later!

Yixiu's eyes were red, but she tried hard to hold back her tears, not daring to bring bad luck to the Fourth Master.

The Fourth Master immediately recalled everything he had seen and heard in the past four years. He recalled that after the eldest prince got into trouble, Yixiu not only did not take revenge on Rouze, but she had never even heard her say a bad word about Rouze.

"Yes, I know everything. You are always sensible. Don't worry, I am here! I will make the decision for you."

What Guo Luoluo did today not only slapped the face of Yixiu, the concubine, but also slapped him, the fourth prince, and the Empress Defei of Yonghe Palace. It just so happened that my mother was in charge of the concubines in the palace, and he was in charge of his eighth brother outside the palace. He must let Guo Luoluo know that the Yonghe Palace family is not easy to mess with.

Everything will wait until the first month of the year!

But before he could retaliate, the emperor took action first.

There were people from the Emperor in Ningshou Palace, and the Emperor received the news on the same day that the Eighth Lady had caused such a big commotion. Not only the Emperor, but even the Empress Dowager knew everything.

"Emperor, the Eighth Concubine needs to be punished. She dares to bully people in my palace! The Fifth Concubine is such an honest person, but she made her eyes red. The Fourth Concubine, who has never provoked her, was taught a lesson by her in front of so many people. It's simply, simply..."

Even the Empress Dowager, who was so good-tempered, had opinions about the Eighth Concubine, not to mention Kangxi.

Kangxi's face was as dark as ink. He held the empress dowager's back and gently comforted her, "Don't worry, Empress Dowager. You are the elder, you can't get yourself sick for a junior! My son will take care of the Eighth Lady. You just need to comfort the Fifth Lady and Concubine Ulanara."

The Queen Mother felt relieved. She had never worried much in her life. Since she married into the royal family, the Queen Mother Xiaozhuang had been in charge. After the Queen Mother Xiaozhuang passed away, the Emperor had taken over. If the Eighth Concubine had not bullied the Concubine of Yinqi, whom she had raised, the Queen Mother would not have been so angry!

The Eighth Concubine is arrogant and domineering. If she is not disciplined, sooner or later she will ruin the friendship between the brothers.

Kangxi frowned and said, "Li Dequan, is there no movement in the Eighth Prince's mansion? I remember that the Eighth Concubine has been married for eight years!"

Li Dequan stepped forward and replied, "Your Majesty, the Eighth Concubine was married in the winter of the thirty-seventh year. Not only is she quiet, but no one in the Eighth Prince's mansion is quiet either."

"What? Have you sent a royal physician to check on the Eighth Prince?" There has been no movement for eight years, so something must have gone wrong.

"Your Majesty, there is still no concubine in the backyard of the Eighth Prince, so maybe it's not the Eighth Prince..."

Kangxi was furious: "Where is Concubine Hui? Where is Concubine Liang? They don't care about it? The Eighth Prince is already twenty-four, and he has no children. Even the eldest son of the Fourteenth Prince, who is six years younger than him, is three years old! I remember that Concubine Liang seemed to have given her two bondservants as palace maids?"

"Perhaps because the Eighth Prince favored the Eighth Wife alone, none of these palace maids were employed. Two of them died of acute illness, and the rest were all sent to the woodshed."

Li Dequan's words were extremely tactful, leaving enough face for the Eighth Concubine, but how could Kangxi not hear that these palace maids had been tortured beyond recognition by the Eighth Concubine?

The Eighth Lady is a shrew and a jealous woman!

Kangxi loved his son dearly. In his mind, the Eighth Prince was controlled by his wife, so he didn't even dare to recruit palace maids. So after a few days, he found an opportunity to go to the Yanxi Palace and gave some advice to Concubine Hui and Concubine Liang.

Then, just after the tenth day of the first lunar month, when the Eighth Lady went to the palace to pay her respects, she was scolded. She took back four palace maids with a bitter face and had a quarrel with the Eighth Prince for half a month.

These palace maids were bestowed in the name of the emperor, and the Eighth Lady did not have the courage to dispose of them at will.
