Honghui is reborn in Legend of Zhen Huan, I will protect my mother
Chapter 16: Greetings from the Master
Ama seems a little cautious!
Since that day, Honghui has not seen Uncle Thirteen again. Mingming's mother said that Uncle Thirteen came again two days ago and brought him a gift, but Ama did not ask him to go to the front yard, so he and Uncle Thirteen missed each other.
"Honghui, did you make your father angry? He asked your mother to teach you what father-son love is."
How narrow-minded! Honghui secretly complained that his mother didn't know Ama well enough, so she was worried like this.
"Mother, don't worry about your son. I'm just joking with him! A few days ago, he and his thirteenth uncle hit it off right away, and his fourteenth uncle kept talking about him, so I can't help but feel a little jealous."
Yi Xiu never expected that the Fourth Master could have this side of him. He was always so brilliant in front of her, not childish at all.
"Mother doesn't care about anything anymore. Just let you and your son have your fun. There's only one thing you need to remember: don't get too angry."
Honghui agreed readily. Given his father's personality, he would only take it more seriously if someone tried to snatch something from him.
Yixiu helped her son straighten his clothes and gave him a few solemn instructions, "Honghui, don't cause trouble in the main courtyard, and don't make the concubine angry, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the master."
Today is the first day of June, which is the day when the women in the backyard go to the main courtyard to pay their respects to the lady in the palace. As a concubine's son, Honghui also has to go.
"Yes, son, I know. The Qing dynasty ruled the country with filial piety, and my mother is pregnant with my second brother, so I should be courteous and give way to her. No matter what my mother says, I will obey her obediently."
Yixiu was a sensitive person. She immediately thought of the difference in status between the legitimate son and the illegitimate son, and she couldn't help feeling a little depressed.
"It's all your fault that your mother didn't live up to your expectations and didn't make you the eldest son..."
Fortunately, Honghui realized his mother's concern in time, and reached out his little hand to her face to smooth out the wrinkles on her forehead.
"Don't worry, mother. I will fight for what I want. There is nothing wrong with being a bastard. I have never blamed you. Besides, the Queen Mother and Father are also bastards. I will learn from them and make a name for myself in the future!"
Yixiu held Honghui in her arms and didn't say anything for a long time. She just gently stroked her son's back over and over again, silently shedding tears in her heart.
"Master, eldest prince, it's almost time. If we don't set off now, we will be late for the greetings!"
Seeing that her master and the eldest prince had not come out yet, Jianqiu could not help but remind them loudly. Then, after waiting for a while, she saw them come out.
Why are the master's eyes a little red? The rising sun shines on her face, but it seems to be just Jianqiu's own illusion.
"Let's go and pay our respects to the main courtyard."
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the main courtyard came into view, with three large characters "Guanju Courtyard" written on the plaque above.
Honghui knew the origin of the three words "Guanju Courtyard". After his mother married into the Fourth Prince's Mansion, she changed the original name of the main courtyard and added the word "Guanju" to commemorate the relationship between her father and her.
The orioles are singing on the island in the river. A beautiful lady is the ideal match for a gentleman!
This poem has been passed down for two thousand years. It originally described the love between a man and a woman by the song of the Guanju birds. However, Honghui always felt that it was not appropriate to use it to describe the relationship between his mother and his father.
After his mother died of complications during childbirth, all the women that his father favored had her shadow. But if they were really in love, how could his father easily fall in love with someone else? This was the case with Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan!
Even Nalan Rongruo, who wrote "A lifetime together as a couple, trying to make us feel ecstatic together", failed to remain chaste and love only one person. Honghui no longer had any beautiful pursuit of love.
"Your servant pays respects to the concubine and the eldest prince!"
The servants in the main courtyard no longer had their previous arrogance and pride. Their eyes flickered as they looked at Yixiu and Honghui, mother and son, as if they were frightened by the incident that happened more than a month ago.
Yixiu took a quick look and found that half of the servants here were new faces. It seemed that there was a major reshuffle in the main courtyard and the Ministry of Internal Affairs had reassigned new people to serve.
It was already this late, and except for Yixiu and her son, all the other concubines and princesses had arrived.
"I pay my respects to the wife." "My son pays his respects to the mother."
Rouze sat in the main seat, looking at her half-sister with complicated eyes. She had been in poverty for three years, but finally she turned her life around.
"Yixiu, please get up. I'm your elder sister. Why are you calling me so distant? I've told you before that you can just call me sister. We are sisters and should be closer."
Ha! Yixiu could hardly suppress her anger. How could there be a legitimate sister who would snatch her brother-in-law away? And how could there be a legitimate sister who would sit by and watch her own nephew die?
"Fujin, you are too polite. You are now the wife of the Fourth Prince and the mistress of the mansion. I should call you Fujin. If I call you sister, wouldn't it be a bit unfair to the sisters present here?"
Rouze almost vomited blood. She originally wanted to show some favor to Yixiu because she was her biological sister, but she didn't expect Yixiu to be so disdainful to call her sister.
He really doesn't want any face at all!
"The weather is getting warmer. Yesterday, Master told this lady that courtyards with children should have more ice. You are the only one in our family who gave birth to the eldest prince. You have made great contributions to the continuation of the family line. All the sisters should also pay more attention and try to give birth to children for Master as soon as possible."
With just a few words, Rouze shifted the attention of the concubines and princesses to the eldest prince, and watched with satisfaction as the storm in the hall suddenly broke out.
Gan was the most impatient. The master had visited her room several times last month, so she couldn't help but look forward to having an heir. "I heard that the master personally taught the eldest prince, and would often send him to the front yard to teach him personally. It would be great if I could have the blessing of a concubine. I also want to give birth to a prince as smart as the eldest prince for you as soon as possible!"
As shallow as Gan and Li, as deep-minded as Qi, their eyes were full of jealousy and envy when they looked at Honghui.
Before Honghui could do anything, Yixiu got furious because her son was her life.
"What are you talking about, Madam? Honghui also suffered an unexpected disaster. I want to make up for it, so I value him more. Besides, Honghui is a concubine's son, how can he be as precious as the legitimate son that Madam is carrying? When your baby is born, I'm sure I will value him even more."
Yixiu's words are also what the people below are most worried about. The master has always favored the concubine, and they are just used to make up the numbers. When the concubine gives birth to a legitimate son, will there still be a place for them in the mansion?
After Fu Jin was finally reprimanded by the emperor, they all wanted to take this opportunity to get pregnant and gain a foothold in the backyard.
At once, everyone's fighting spirit was aroused, and they looked at the eldest prince Honghui with some anticipation in their eyes.
Honghui looked at these stepmothers in confusion. No matter how smart he was, he couldn't see through the minds of these women in the backyard!
