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

The days outside the Great Wall became more and more leisurely. Until the middle of the month, nothing seemed amiss. I was on high alert as if I was guarding against loneliness.

But this was not in vain, because Honghui found Li Jingui's whereabouts.

That day he stopped and strolled from time to time. As soon as he entered a garden, he heard people arguing.

"Wasn't it your turn to be on duty yesterday? Tell me, where were you? When Eunuch Hua was on patrol, it happened that no one was here, and we got scolded for it!"

Then, a female voice humbly retorted, "It was Sister Hezhu's turn yesterday, and it will be mine tomorrow. What does this have to do with me?"

"Sister Hezhu is not feeling well, and we have agreed that you will take over for a day, and you didn't refuse! Li Jingui, what did you say in front of Eunuch Hua? You said that we teamed up to bully you, so what? You said one thing to her face and another behind her back?"

Wait! Li Jingui! Isn’t Hongli’s biological mother called Li Jingui?

Honghui stopped and listened carefully.

The person who answered was probably Li Jingui, "My name is not on the list, and when did I agree to take the top position? You are good friends with Sister Hezhu, so why don't you take the top position? You come here to bully me!"

The maid was so angry that she laughed: "Okay, okay, Li Jingui, when we talked about this matter that day, you pretended to be deaf and dumb. It should be here. Sister Hezhu was beaten with a stick because of you. If it weren't for Nanny Lin's plea, she might have been driven out of the palace..."

"That's not my fault! Why didn't you tell Eunuch Hua that you were not feeling well? Why did you hire someone to take over in private?"

"You are making up a false argument! The emperor is right here, who dares to be sick so easily? Li Jingui, who can't see your little trick? Aren't you just looking at Sister Hezhu's beautiful face and afraid that she will hinder your future? Don't you even look at what you look like! Do His Majesty and the princes like you?"

"You are talking nonsense. You are accusing me because you think I am easy to bully. I have always been a very honest person." These few short sentences sounded a little guilty.

Then another maid said sarcastically, "Come on, who doesn't know who? You've been running to the Queen's place these days, aren't you trying to climb up the social ladder? And a few days ago, a strange eunuch came to talk to you. Was he from the capital? What's going on? Has some nobleman taken a fancy to you?"

"You all keep making up lies to bully others. I'm going to tell Eunuch Hua, wuwuwu..."

Forget it, there’s no need to listen any further. Just from these few sentences we can tell that Li Jingui and Hongli are indeed mother and son, their little schemes are exactly the same!

And that unfamiliar father-in-law, could he be Uncle Eight’s man?

"Big brother, how about it?" Zhao Quanshun came up and asked in a low voice.

"No need. It's better to have less trouble than more. Let's go around through that path." The most important thing is not to alert the enemy!

Hidden by the flowers and trees, he couldn't help but take a closer look and happened to see the face of Li Jingui who was standing alone.

Ah, this! This person's appearance is not even ordinary. If she is not lucky, which royal grandson and nobleman would like her? The concubines and princesses in the backyards of various royal palaces are at least pretty. No wonder Ama is so angry with them!

After that, Honghui specially asked someone to pay attention, and indeed found that Uncle Ba’s people were in contact with him.

A question from the previous life was now answered - why didn't the dignified Prince Yong look for someone else after getting drunk, but instead looked for an ugly palace maid?

Uncle Eight is annoying Father in some ways, openly or secretly!

Otherwise, should I get angry this time? I'm sure Uncle Eight will be very happy to have another son!

Having made up his mind, Honghui sat firmly on the mountain, just waiting for that day to come.

The wait lasted until early July, when it was an ordinary evening.

"…Repay kindness with kindness, and the people will be encouraged; repay grievances with grievances, and the people will be punished…"

Yinzhen closed his eyes and listened quietly to his eldest son's reciting. He looked comfortable and happy, and he kept twisting the jade ring on his hand.

Honghui had just recited the third chapter when Su Peisheng came in to report: "Master, the Eighth Prince sent a message saying that a banquet has been set up. Please come over and have a seat. The brothers will have a good feast."

What kind of banquet is held at this time?

Yinzhen asked doubtfully, "Are they just the Eighth and Ninth Brothers?"

"Except for the Crown Prince, the other princes have been invited. I heard that they will all attend."

It had come to this point, and Yinzhen had no choice but to go. "I understand. Tell Old Eight's people that I'll go after I change my clothes."

After Su Peisheng left, Honghui sighed: "If someone is too attentive to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief!"

"How can it be so exaggerated as you say? All the brothers are here, what can Lao Ba do?"

Haha, Uncle Ba is so brave, beyond your imagination!

Seeing his father not being alert at all, Honghui couldn't help but speak up: "How about my son go with you? Then I can take care of him."

Yinzhen pondered for a moment, shook his head and rejected his eldest son's suggestion, "You don't have to go, so as to avoid being stuck with the ninth brother and irritating the eighth brother. The eighth brother is so petty, tut tut tut!"

"Okay!" Honghui reluctantly took out a small porcelain bottle, and then said: "It contains sobering pills and mint pills. I brought them here when I left Beijing. Father, please take them with you when you go, so as not to let the emperor know when you get drunk. After all, this is a temporary palace, and it is under the nose of the emperor, so it is not too cautious!"

"..." How can a little kid like you be so worrying? Who did you take that from?

Oh, let him do it! That's all right.

"Also, when the banquet is almost over, please ask someone to pass a message to your son so that he can come and pick you up..."

Yinzhen interrupted him hurriedly: "No need for that, Su Peisheng is with us! We don't know when Father will be back, so you should go to bed early."

"How can I sleep peacefully when my father hasn't come back yet? Please understand my son's filial piety!"

"Okay, okay, it's all up to you."

Then, Yinzhen changed his clothes and left the yard with Su Peisheng. Looking at their gradually receding backs, Honghui suddenly laughed.

Uncle Eight's conspiracy is of no use and can be easily solved, but it is time for Ama to learn a lesson. Otherwise, if he keeps letting his guard down, it will be hard to guard against any conspiracy next time!

There is an old saying that goes "judge a noble man by your own standards". This saying is extremely appropriate when applied here in reverse. Fighting for the throne is so difficult and dangerous, how can we guarantee that others will stick to their original intentions and not use dirty tricks?

It is better not to judge a villain by one's own standards! Although my father is not a gentleman.
