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

No one in the courtyard knew about the correspondence between the concubine and her natal family. Even Yixiu, the concubine who was in charge of the government affairs, was not too clear about it. But even if they knew, no one would take it to heart, because everyone has a natal family, and writing a letter to one's natal family is normal.

Yinzhen knew about this, but he was so busy every day that he had no time to take care of the affairs of the main courtyard.

Ever since the emperor returned to the capital and the morning court resumed as normal, he, the Doroberle, has become visibly busy.

Now he had a few more tasks on his hands. Although they were not important, he could see the emperor from time to time. This benefit alone was enough to make him satisfied.

In the twenty days since the emperor returned to the palace, Yinzhen was summoned seven or eight times. Apart from the Prince of Zhi and the Crown Prince, he was summoned the most.

The same thing happened that day. The emperor summoned him to Changchun Garden.

"Your son pays respects to the Emperor!"

Kangxi didn't even raise his head, and kept reviewing the memorials. He said to Yinzhen, "You're here? Have you completed the task I gave you? How are the rooms in the side halls of Changchun Palace doing?"

Yinzhen blurted out: "In reply to Your Majesty, the outer walls of the two rooms at the back of the west hall of Changchun Palace have detached, and the roof tiles are also slightly damaged. I have personally led the people from the Ministry of Works to inspect it, and it will take about half a month to repair it. As for the budgeted money, I have written a memorial and will give it to you for your review." Before meeting the Emperor, he had already made up his mind.

Kangxi took it and took a look at it. He found that there was nothing wrong with it, so he put it aside and said, "Okay, you are getting more and more competent. I will do this as you said!"

Yinzhen bowed and said, "I will do my best to repair Changchun Palace for you as soon as possible."

Kangxi shook his head first, then said slowly, "Don't worry. There are not many concubines living in Changchun Palace now, so we can repair it slowly. I intend to inspect the border areas on the 24th of this month. I will take the crown prince, the eldest son, the thirteenth son, the fifteenth son, the sixteenth son, and the seventeenth son away. The affairs in Beijing will be handed over to you and the third and eighth sons to assist."

The eighth brother was Yinzhi's man, and the third brother had always been close to the prince. The two of them were enough to assist in the affairs of the capital, and the fourth brother would be redundant, so there was no fourth brother originally. However, the fourth brother had recently been quite to his liking, so Kangxi wanted to praise him a little and also wanted to train the fourth brother.

Yinzhen knelt hurriedly to express his gratitude, and said with great trepidation: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace! I will definitely learn more, and be careful in what I say and do. Please rest assured, Your Majesty." This was the first time in more than 20 years that he had assisted in the affairs of the capital. In the past, it was either his second elder brother, the Crown Prince, or his third elder brother who did the job, but not him, the Fourth Beile.

Kangxi nodded, and then said a few more words with a worried look on his face: "You have always been impatient since you were a child, but you have become much better as you grow older, but sometimes you are still a little stubborn. The affairs of the court are not black and white, and you need to think carefully about the tricks involved. You should control your temper and stop being so aloof! Even I can't stand the deserted appearance of your house."

Yinzhen retorted without hesitation: "I am just an ordinary prince. I am loyal to you and only you. I don't need to have anyone close to me." Being close to ministers of the previous dynasty means that you think you are not dying fast enough!

Hearing this, Kangxi became more satisfied, with a look of relief on his face, "Okay, you are so old now, you have already grown up, and you don't need my discipline anymore. Take your eldest prince to pay respects to your mother later. She must be lonely living alone in the palace." Defei gave birth to three sons and three daughters, but in the end only the fourth and fourteenth sons survived. She felt very uncomfortable!

Yinzhen bowed and responded, then stood up to take his leave. His inspection tour outside the Great Wall was imminent, and a group of people were waiting to be summoned in the front hall of Changchun Garden. The emperor's daily schedule was very tight!

When he came out, he saw a group of important ministers, including his second brother, eldest brother, and eighth brother. However, the expressions on their faces looked a little strange, and he saw a hint of fear in them.

No, this is not okay! Yinzhen doesn't care about other people's fear, but he must not let his second brother, the crown prince, be afraid of him. The second brother is the crown prince and the most beloved son of the emperor. If he is targeted by him, how can he deal with it when he is just a beile with no power and influence?

Is it because the Emperor summoned me so many times these days? Or is it because I have done so many extra errands?

No matter how he imagined, Yinzhen was respectful and polite. He bowed to the crown prince first, then bowed to his eldest brother and eighth brother. As for the other ministers present, he ignored them completely.

Seeing this, the fear on the prince's face gradually faded, and he put on a smile: "Fourth brother, why are you still the same? Apart from me and my brothers, I don't see anyone you are close to."

Yinzhen's attitude was the same as usual, and he said frankly in front of many ministers: "I am a loner by nature and don't like to make many friends. In life, having two close brothers is enough."

Yinsi shook his head. He did not agree with his fourth brother's point of view. "Fourth brother, what you said is a bit biased. All the adults are just like you and me. We are all working for the emperor. Therefore, we should communicate more often on a daily basis. Only in this way can we complete every task smoothly."

"Public is public, private is private. Only when public and private are clearly distinguished can there be rules in the court!" Yinzhen said to Yinsi, and then ignored him. Instead, he bowed to the prince again and said, "Brother Prince, I still need to discuss with the people from the Ministry of Works about the renovation of the side hall of Changchun Palace, so please forgive me for leaving first."

Changchun Palace? There were only a few low-ranking ladies living in that palace, not even a master! Thanks to the eldest and the eighth brother for saying a few words to him, the job that the fourth brother took over was not important! The eldest and the eighth brother really had bad intentions and tried their best to sow discord between him and the fourth brother. The prince knew that he would never let them have their way.

"Fourth brother, my second brother just came back from Jiangnan. He has only been there for a few days before he has to accompany the emperor on a tour of the frontier. I won't see you for several months. Come to my second brother's palace for lunch tomorrow, and we can have a good talk!"

The prince's words were both intimate and natural, severely slapping the faces of Prince Zhi and the Eighth Prince.

Yinzhen showed a touch of excitement at the right time, and his face showed just the right amount of joy, "Thank you, Prince, for your kindness. I will definitely visit you tomorrow."

After saying this, Yinzhen did not stay any longer and went straight to the Ministry of Works. He still had a lot of things waiting to be done!
