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

"Honghui, you don't know the cost of building roads across the country. It's really incalculable! Stone slabs are difficult to polish and require a lot of labor. Ceramic floor tiles are very expensive. Let alone building the entire Qing Dynasty, it's not cost-effective to just build a small section."

Yinzhen spoke up and reported a series of data to his eldest son. At the end, he said, "You have seen these days that even in the capital, where the capital of a country is located, not all streets are paved with stone. Many streets are still dirt roads and gravel roads. The capital is like this, and other county towns and prefecture towns are far worse. Some poor small county towns even have dirt roads in front of the government offices. You can see how difficult it is to build roads!"

Honghui was silent for a long time; he was hit by the reality.

How did the later generations achieve such smooth and flat land? Obviously, building roads is very costly, but later generations built roads all over the country. The more he thought about it, the more shocked he was.

Is our Qing Dynasty so backward?

Honghui was particularly unwilling to accept this, but he searched through his memory and could not find out how the roads were built in later generations, let alone what materials were used for the road that looked somewhat like stone slabs!

"Father, I won't give up! In my lifetime, I will make sure that all the dirt roads in the country are smooth and paved, and make the saying 'travel is not easy' a thing of the past!"

The eldest son's voice suddenly came from the quiet carriage. Yinzhen was startled. He was very pleased that his eldest son had great ambitions, but why did he feel that his eldest son's ambitions were a little too big?

Looking at his eldest son's little head that was still nodding, Yinzhen shook his head. He had been sitting in the carriage until he felt dizzy, and he suddenly started to have wild thoughts?

Isn't it all an illusion? The eldest son just cares about the world and the country and the people. Throughout history, there are many such people!

On the contrary, he, the Fourth Prince, had some unspeakable delusions in his heart, so he subconsciously chose the path of keeping a low profile, which allowed him to attack or defend! If the Crown Prince ascended to the throne, he would be the loyal and devoted brother of the Emperor. If the Crown Prince was deposed, he would still be the loyal and devoted Fourth Prince, but the loyal person would be replaced by his father!

For a moment, both the father and the son fell into deep thought, only the carriage made a "clattering" sound as it moved towards the Fourth Prince's Mansion.

After an unknown amount of time, the carriage suddenly stopped.

As soon as Honghui got off the carriage, he was hugged into the arms, but he did not struggle because he smelled a familiar scent, which was the unique fruity scent of his mother.

He hugged her back, patted her back with his right hand to comfort her, and said in a softer tone: "Mother, your son is back."

After seeing her son and hearing his voice, Yixiu couldn't help but burst into tears, "Honghui, you are finally back..." In front of outsiders, she acted as if nothing had happened, but now she didn't want to care about anything anymore. She just wanted to hold her son and have a good cry.

But she finally came to her senses. After all, not only her biological son was present, but also the prince, her double-faced elder sister, the four princesses in the backyard, and even a large number of servants. She could not act as she pleased.

After a while, Yixiu stood up, wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and then bowed: "I am sorry to make you, my dear prince, my wife, and my sisters laugh at me, but my eldest prince has been gone for more than 20 days, and as his mother, I miss him very much, so I lost my composure. Please don't mind."

Yinzhen came back to his senses then and said hurriedly: "Mother and son are connected by heart. It is normal for a mother to miss her child, and others cannot complain! How about this, Honghui will go to the front yard to study in a few days, and let him accompany you more in the next two days!" The love between mother and son will only make him grateful, not annoyed.

There was a sinister flash in Rouze's eyes. Yixiu and her son became more and more favored. One of them was well-respected in the mansion, and the other was favored by the Fourth Master. No one in the backyard could surpass their glory.

Thinking of this, Rouze cursed a few words in her heart. These princesses in the backyard were all useless. None of them had vision. They did not even join her, the wife, but either watched from the sidelines or tended to favor Yixiu. They even dared to refuse the ladder she personally handed over, causing her to suffer great humiliation.

What could Yixiu give them? She neither promoted them nor gave them any special favors. Only a stupid Li was lucky enough to be attached to her. The rest of the princesses were wishful thinking and suffered a lot.

However, when she thought of the letter sent by her father, she quickly suppressed her thoughts. No matter what, Yixiu and her son were both descendants of the Ulanara family, and she could not listen to her mother and kill them.

Well, let’s leave it this way for now!

Rouze put away her thoughts and led the four princesses to pay their respects to the prince.

……

Since returning to the mansion, Honghui has felt like he has entered a happy nest, immersed in his mother's care and concern.

On the day of returning home, my mother said directly: "Honghui, you have lost a lot of weight during your trip. Are you not used to the food outside? It doesn't matter. I have prepared your favorite food for you. I guarantee that you will enjoy it to your heart's content!"

In the next two or three days, the small kitchen brought in a series of various meals, which filled a large table. Sometimes the table was not full, so they had to remove a few unimportant ones.

Enough, enough!

Honghui thought that it was enough. In just two or three days, he had grown some flesh on his face. If he continued to eat and drink like this, his father wouldn't be able to recognize him.

How could Yinzhen not recognize his eldest son's face? However, looking at Yixiu's unsatisfied look and his eldest son's secretly pleading eyes, he sighed and reached out to stop Yixiu from picking up the food.

"Alright, too much is as bad as too little! Honghui's stomach is bloated, you should hold it back a bit, you can't let him get too much food!"

Yixiu belatedly looked at her son's belly, which was indeed bulging! She put down her chopsticks awkwardly and said gloomily, "It's all my fault. I only thought about Honghui's need for nourishment, but forgot about his appetite..."

"How can you say that, mother?" Honghui immediately retorted, "Mother is obviously concerned about her son, but he is too weak and recovered after just two or three days of supplementation. All of mother's hard work has gone to waste."

Yixiu burst out laughing: "Okay, stop talking, I understand what you mean. From tomorrow on, I will return to the way I was before. Your good days of nourishing yourself every day will end today!"

Honghui breathed a sigh of relief with an imperceptible sense. His mother's love and care were too "heavy" for him to bear.
