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

Yinzhen smiled bitterly at the right moment and sighed heavily, "Mother, you really understand my thoughts. My fourteenth brother... oh!"

"No need to say more. Mother has seen all the difficulties you've gone through!" Defei smiled gently, and her tone became even softer.

"But I have a question in my mind. Why did His Majesty give you the task of producing honeycomb coal? Could it be that His Majesty..." What do you think?

Defei thought she could understand the Emperor's thoughts a little bit. The Emperor was thinking about two words - "balance", so it was particularly strange that the fourth prince suddenly got such an important task!

Or is it that His Majesty cannot bear to see the Crown Prince being wronged? And the Crown Prince's position has become more secure?

The worry hidden in Concubine De's words was evident, and Yinzhen hurriedly comforted her, "Mother, don't worry, I know what's going on. This is just like the cowpox..."

Concubine De immediately reacted and asked, "Is it the same with honeycomb coal?"

Yinzhen nodded and gave Concubine De an affirmative answer.

"That's good!" Concubine De was calm and composed. She drank two or three sips of tea leisurely and continued, "Just do your best to serve His Majesty. His Majesty will definitely see your filial piety."

The fourth son did the right thing. He gave all his achievements to His Majesty. How could His Majesty not remember it? The matter of competing for the throne was to compete for His Majesty's favor. Taking on a lot of achievements would only make the emperor afraid of him. The prince had done things too perfectly before, which was why His Majesty was wary of him. It was just that few people noticed it.

Defei was born a concubine's daughter, and she had to act according to other people's wishes since she was young. Her family background was not prominent, so she could not rely on anything. She could have the glory she has today entirely through her own planning.

Ever since the eldest prince was promoted to a high position a few years ago, she knew that the prince's position was not as stable as before because the emperor had changed his mind.

The Emperor is getting old, but the Crown Prince is still young and strong. Although the Emperor is a man of great talent and strategy, he is just an ordinary man. Suspicion and fear arise naturally, which is why the Eldest Prince's party is so powerful.

Only when the crown prince is deposed will other princes have the opportunity to ascend to the throne. Which concubine in the harem is not eyeing the crown prince? Concubine De can see what His Majesty is thinking, and so can Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi. But everyone has their own choices. Concubine De chose to hide behind the scenes and bide her time, which happened to be the same path her eldest son chose.

Seeing that his mother and fourth brother only said a few words and left him aside, Yinzhen was confused and complained, "Mother, fourth brother, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand? What's wrong with honeycomb coal?"

Defei frowned and said with a smile: "It's nothing. Your fourth brother said that honeycomb coal is as beneficial to the country and the people as cowpox. I dare not slack off in my heart." She wanted to tell the truth, but when she thought of the extremely simple nature of the fourteenth brother, if the fourteenth brother knew the truth, and was coaxed out by the eighth prince with a few words, wouldn't it cause trouble for the fourth brother?

She was also very puzzled. The relationship between the Fourth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince was obviously much closer, so why did the Fourteenth Prince always associate with the Eighth Prince?

"Yes, Fourteenth Brother, what Mother said is right. Honeycomb coal is closely related to the lives of countless people. I can't be careless!"

Yinzhen then said, "Everyone has his own specialty. Ninth brother is better at business, but you like to wield swords. If I recommend you regardless of anything, will you really be happy? Besides, the work of the Ministry of Revenue is very trivial and requires a lot of patience, but you are fiery and hot-tempered. It's good enough if you can hold on for two days. If you cause trouble in the Ministry of Revenue again, your brother won't be able to protect you!"

"Fourteenth brother, you are not young anymore, you can't be so willful! Your brother is only a Duoluo Baylor, and although my mother is one of the four concubines, she is still under pressure from the Tongjia Imperial Concubine, Hui Fei and Yi Fei. It is not a fluke that we can have the glory today. Do you know how many times my mother and I have painstakingly planned it?"

After hearing such a series of heartfelt words, Yinzhen felt even more depressed!

He stammered, "Fourth brother, brother, I didn't mean it. I just felt that you would rather side with Ninth brother than recommend me..."

Concubine De took advantage of the situation and gave a few words of advice: "How could your fourth brother be so picky with you? Old Fourteen, don't believe other people's lies. Your fourth brother is the only one closest to you in this world. You are brothers from the same mother, and you are connected by bones and tendons!"

"Mother... Fourth Brother..."

"Okay, stop being so childish! One wrong move can lead to a complete loss! Fourteenth Brother, your fourth brother didn't even recommend your thirteenth brother, which shows how cautious and thoughtful he is. Don't bother with him anymore, otherwise, wouldn't it be a pain for your loved ones and a joy for your enemies?"

"Fourteenth brother, you should study hard. When there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely recommend you to the Ministry of War. Don't you want to be a general? I will definitely make your wish come true..."

Defei and Yinzhen's mother and son joined hands and crushed Yinzhen with such force that he was at a loss as to what to do.

The turmoil finally ended with Yinzhen saying, "Fourth brother, I was wrong. I will listen to you from now on. Those who try to alienate the relationship between us brothers are truly hateful."

After sending the fourteenth and fourth brothers away, Concubine De slumped in a chair, feeling relieved. "Finally, everything is alright! These two brothers almost scared me half to death. If they turn against each other just because of such a small matter, I will never forget it in my life."

Sun Zhuxi massaged his master's forehead while persuading him, "The Fourth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince are brothers, how could they become enemies? Master, you are worrying too much."

"With the stubborn temper of the Fourteenth Brother, how can I feel at ease? I gave birth to six children, but only the Fourth and Fourteenth Brothers are raised by me. I have to worry about them. Zhuxi, ask the kitchen to cook a bowl of bird's nest and pigeon soup and send it to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. I have to make up for the mistakes made by the Fourteenth Brother."

"Yes."

……

That afternoon, Concubine Yi went to Yonghe Palace with a bunch of gifts in great fanfare. At the same time, Yinzhen also came to the Fourth Prince's mansion in an awkward manner.

Before meeting his fourth brother, Yinzhen's heart was beating like a drum, "boom, boom, boom". After meeting him, he stammered and said thank you: "Fourth brother, thank you very much."

Yinzhen raised his eyebrows, feeling particularly happy! He never thought that one day he would see his ninth brother bowing to him. It shows that things are unpredictable!

"Don't take it to heart. This prince is doing this for the people of the Qing Dynasty, not for your words of gratitude. If you are truly grateful, then do your best to do this job. This prince does not want to bear the reputation of not being able to judge people well!"
