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

After dinner, the three of them chatted together.

"I heard that Master Huiren passed away a few days ago?" Yinzhen heard about this after he came back, and he still can't believe it.

"How could it be?" This was the first time he had heard of this! Honghui was in disbelief. How could such a mysterious old monk suddenly pass away?

Yi Xiu sighed, "Master Huiren passed away at Longfu Temple on February 19th. The news spread the next day. You and your son were not in the capital, so you didn't know. It is said that the master laughed three times before passing away, chanted 'Amitabha' and passed away on the spot. The lamas who collected the Buddha's bones said that Master Huiren's body produced many relics, and now these relics are being well enshrined."

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen also chanted "Amitabha" and said with deep emotion: "Master Huiren is an enlightened monk with profound practice. He has become a Buddha!"

"Yes, the common people all said that Master Huiren was enlightened by the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, so he passed away on February 19th. Everyone went to pay homage to him. Now even carriages cannot pass through the street where Longfu Temple is located. People can only walk to get there."

Yixiu herself is a believer in Buddhism. She even built a small Buddhist temple in Haitang Garden, where she would copy sutras and pray for the Fourth Master and Honghui from time to time, so she also went to Longfu Temple to worship once.

Yinzhen and Honghui, father and son, both fell into deep thought.

Yinzhen wondered if Master Huiren had revealed the secrets of heaven, which led to his sudden death. No, that shouldn't be the case. It had already been a month, how could the secrets of heaven backfire on him? However, what did Master Huiren mean by those words? At this point, there was no place to ask!

Honghui breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Master Huiren could vaguely see his background. If the master told others, it would be a hidden danger.

Although he was not afraid of these potential risks, he did not want to create any more trouble, and even less did he want to become the target of public criticism.

Seeing the atmosphere in the room was somewhat quiet, Yixiu quickly changed the subject: "Master, you have been gone for more than 20 days. The eldest princess, the second princess and the third prince are all able to turn over a new leaf. The sisters have taken good care of them."

After hearing this, Yinzhen finally smiled.

"Really? I've been busy with work these past two days. Also, there was the earthquake yesterday. Although the damage wasn't great, I still have to deal with relief work. I'll definitely go take a look when I have some free time."

"Father, bring your son along. He hasn't seen his eldest sister, second sister and third brother for a while!" Honghui added unwillingly.

Yinzhen nodded gently in response, then looked at Yixiu, "I'll trouble you to take care of the affairs of the mansion."

"This is what I should do! Master, you entrusted all the affairs of the mansion to me, how could I betray your trust? But there is one thing that needs to be resolved urgently. My sisters have all given birth to children for you, and they have done a great service, but they have been receiving the share of a princess. I wonder if you are willing to reward them a little?"

It turned out to be about the promotion to concubine! Yinzhen then remembered that he had said, "We'll talk about it after Li gives birth to a child." But then there was the cowpox, the accompanying emperor to visit the mausoleum, the New Year, the honeycomb coal, and the accompanying emperor to inspect the capital. He was so busy that he completely forgot about it!

Counting the days, the Second Prince is already more than four months old. If he doesn't take action, there will be complaints in the backyard!

He stroked Yixiu's soft lips and said slowly, "I know about this matter. Thank you for your concern. Tell them later that there will be a result within five days!"

In front of his eldest son, Yinzhen did not elaborate, but waited until his eldest son left before discussing it with Yixiu.

"Qi has the most experience, Li has given birth to a son, and Song, let's wait a little longer, as her experience is still a little shallow. This time, we will recommend two concubines. Xiaoyi, what do you think?"

Coincidentally, Yixiu also had the same idea. Not only that, she also wanted to share some of the government affairs.

"What Master said makes sense! It is reasonable for Sister Qi and Sister Li to be promoted to concubines. As for Sister Song, wait until she gives birth to another child for Master, then I can promote her to concubine, okay?"

"I'll listen to you!" Yinzhen had no objection.

Yixiu smiled bitterly, a hint of fatigue between her brows, "It's just that I have been thinking about something for a long time, I don't know if I should tell you."

"Oh? Just tell me what's going on?"

"The affairs of the palace are numerous and complicated to begin with, and now there are several more imperial grandchildren. I am busy all day long, and my body cannot handle it.

If more people come into the backyard, or if I get promoted to a higher rank, I will be overwhelmed! To be honest, I don't want to be unable to spend time with you and Honghui, so I want to share some of the unimportant things on my hands, and it would be good to have someone to help me out!"

Yinzhen twisted his Buddhist beads and thought to himself. The government affairs were of great importance, so a careful and attentive person was needed to help with the management. Rouze and Li were not suitable, and Geng was a newcomer and did not accept the support of the others. Then there were only Qi and Song.

But this Li is Yixiu's person, I wonder if Yixiu has any other arrangements? Thinking of this, he narrowed his eyes slightly and asked tentatively: "Who do you have your eyes on?"

Yixiu saw through the Fourth Master's thoughts, but she pretended not to see it and replied nonchalantly: "Sister Qi has the most experience, comes from a noble family, and has learned to be a housekeeper. Why don't we ask her to give it a try?" She had no intention of taking control of the Fourth Prince's mansion, so how could she push Li to the forefront?

Yinzhen breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "It's up to you! How about this, on the first day of March, when you go to the main courtyard to pay your respects, you can have a good talk with them."

Yixiu nodded and waited for the Fourth Master to rest.

In the following days, although the mansion seemed calm on the surface, undercurrents were surging, with tests and speculations coming one after another.

Yes, Yixiu leaked some information, but she didn't say anything too specific. She only said "The prince intends to promote the two concubines to concubines", and didn't say anything else.

Li was in a stable position, Qi was slightly behind, Song was uneasy, and as for Geng, she was simply giving up. She had neither qualifications nor offspring, so she had never cherished the extravagant hope of being promoted to a concubine.

Finally, on the day of greeting on the first day of March, everything was settled.

"Qi and Li have done a great service in giving birth to a son. From today on, they will be promoted to concubines, and their share will also be raised!"

Song's face was visibly ugly. She really couldn't understand. The eldest princess was obviously not Qi's biological daughter, so why did the prince propose Qi as a concubine?

Qi, who was secretly criticized by her, was delighted, and a hint of gratitude flashed in her eyes as she looked at the concubine.

Qi was sure that the concubine must have said a few words for her promotion to a concubine, otherwise it wouldn't have been so smooth!
