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

"You're wrong. Is that the right thing for you to say to me, your elder brother?" Honghui narrowed his eyes and smiled, causing Honghan to feel a chill in his heart for no reason.

Without time to think, he hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "Father, Honghan was wrong... Honghan will never dare to do it again next time."

Yinzhen concentrated for a moment, then suddenly reached out and touched Honghan's little head, and said in a deep voice: "Father only hopes that you will correct your mistakes and stop joking about your own body. You must remember this in your heart and don't let it happen again!"

"Honghan knows."

Looking at the fourth son with lowered brows and eyes, looking so adorable, Yinzhen shook his head helplessly, and all the anger in his heart disappeared.

"Come here and warm yourself in the study. There's some sweet milk tea warmed up on the stove. Isn't that your favorite drink?" No wonder he always makes a lot of noise but does little. It's just that his youngest son is too lovable. Sometimes he gets angry, and sometimes he loves him very much. This is just an 'enemy'!

Hong Han suddenly perked up and shouted, "Great!"

Then, the father and his two sons went back into the study.

Hong Han stayed for a full hour before being reluctantly sent back to Haitang Garden. The father and son who were left behind could not help but smile at each other.

"Father, please don't be surprised. Honghan is close to you in his heart, but the way he expresses it is a little different..." Pfft! Whenever he thought of the suffering that Father had endured in the past two years, he couldn't help but laugh secretly.

Yinzhen waved his hand to interrupt his eldest son's words: "I know that Honghan's temper seems to be quite strange, and he is no less worrying than Hongshi, but he has no bad intentions and is talented. You and I must not let him go astray!"

As he spoke, he became more interested and recounted the enlightenment process of his four sons. At the end, he shook his head with regret and sighed, "Although your fourth brother is quite smart, he is far worse than you. He is not determined to study hard, so it will be difficult to teach him in the future."

He now has four princes. Hongshi is of mediocre talent and extremely stupid. He is good at martial arts but not literature. He is not outstanding in martial arts, but is honest and obedient. Honghan is of decent talent, but he is naughty and willful. He never changes despite repeated teachings and is difficult to teach just by looking at him. As for the fifth prince who is still in his infancy, we will not mention him!

After all the calculations, the eldest son is still the smartest and most sensible.

As the eldest prince who was the smartest and most sensible, Honghui was not at all proud or complacent, and he even often felt discouraged, because over the years, he had made very few achievements personally, and most things were done by others.

"Please stop saying that. My fourth brother has his own strengths. How can you compare your son with him? Why don't you take a look at the cousins ​​in the uncles' houses? How many of them can catch up with my fourth brother? Father, don't be too greedy!"

“…” Yes, he was greedy! But with a nearly perfect eldest son in front of him, how could he not raise his standards?

Yinzhen was very demanding of all his offspring, so any slight imperfection would be infinitely magnified in his eyes. This was a small source of resentment in his heart!

"Okay, I'll try my best..."

He just said a perfunctory word, and then it was dinner time as usual.

……

After Laba, time flies and the new year comes in a blink of an eye.

In March of this year, a bizarre incident occurred. Several ministers including the Minister of Punishments Qi Shiwu, the Commander-in-Chief of the Infantry Tuoheqi, and the Minister of War Geng E were punished for "forming a clique and drinking for the prince."

In fact, Kangxi’s punishment was not that severe, but the reason behind it is intriguing!

Why is this incident so bizarre? It is because the so-called banquet and meeting with friends took place two years ago, in December of the 48th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi. Isn’t it bizarre that it was only brought up two years later to make a fuss?

The court was in turmoil for half a month, and it was finally resolved with Kangxi's attitude of keeping peace. However, the prince's situation was not good after all. As soon as they met, his expression became more sinister.

Seeing this, Yinzhen, who had already made up his mind to retreat into his mansion, became even more low-key. He no longer went out easily and did not receive any visitors, acting as if he was concentrating on recuperating.

Although he was recuperating, his body had actually recovered about 80% to 90% and there would be no problem for him to continue working as usual.

There was laughter and joy in Prince Yong's mansion. Yinzhen was enjoying the happiness of family life, but Kangxi couldn't stand his leisure.

"Fourth brother, aren't you living a life that is too unambitious? You've turned down all the jobs at the Ministry of Revenue that you could. Why, do you yearn to stay in the mansion farming and raising children?" His sons who were fighting for power gave him a headache, and those who were indifferent to fame and fortune gave him an even bigger headache!

Because he was summoned suddenly, Yinzhen was quite confused, but he acted as if nothing had happened. "Father, I have been recuperating these days and I really can't spare the time to do errands for you. Besides, I usually like to tinker with the fields. Now that I have some free time, I feel like a fish in water..."

"Alright, alright, stop talking, it's giving me a headache!" Kangxi frowned and looked at his fourth son with a hard-to-find expression. "I've asked the imperial physician, your body is fine, so why not serve? Fourth son, fourth son, I know you are sincere, but you are now the dignified Prince Yong, and you are so powerless that in the eyes of the world you are worse than an ordinary prince!"

Yinzhen immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty: "I am guilty and have disappointed Your Majesty! But my ambition is... You can tell me what I want, and I will never refuse." The implication was that he would never repent.

Well, why doesn't it make sense?

Kangxi lowered his head and sighed deeply, "You, you don't care about the busyness of others. Well, even if you want to do so, I can't just sit there and watch!"

"There is a Nian family under your command that can be used. The Nian family has produced many talented people. Nian Xialing, the retired governor of Huguang, was diligent in his work and loved the people. He was cautious in his official duties. Nian Xiyao was knowledgeable and rigorous. Nian Gengyao was a man of both civil and military talents, and he was even better than his father. There is a beautiful girl of the right age in their family. I intend to give her to you as a concubine."

Good news came from heaven, but Yinzhen was a little hesitant, "Father, isn't the Nian family too powerful? Besides, Nian is a concubine, and she can't control the people in the backyard. Second, she has to give Honghui face. Third, if she is greedy and makes trouble in the backyard, it will be difficult for me to deal with her."

His backyard is full of sons and daughters, and judging by merit, it shouldn't be a young girl who can take the vacant position of concubine out of thin air! Most importantly, he is quite satisfied with Yixiu and her son, especially Honghui. Nian is so aggressive, if she gives birth to a prince one day, won't she covet the position of the crown prince?

In Yinzhen's heart, no matter whether he has the chance to ascend the throne or not, the position of the crown prince in the palace can only be occupied by Honghui. No one can match the eldest son's thoughtfulness and understanding!
