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

Perhaps they were almost at the palace gate, Su Peisheng shouted from outside the carriage, "Master, Concubine, and eldest prince, we will reach Donghua Gate in a quarter of an hour."

Yinzhen and Yixiu woke up one after another, and what they saw was Honghui eating snacks happily.

Honghui swallowed the steamed bun in his mouth, pointed at the food box and said, "Father, mother, you should also have some snacks, otherwise you will go to the palace hungry."

These snacks were prepared yesterday. They are not easy to digest, so eating too much will not cause a joke in the palace.

Neither Yinzhen nor Yixiu refused. They took the snacks and ate a few pieces, then cleaned their hands and faces with a handkerchief, leaving no trace.

"Oh! Master, concubine, eldest prince, the Donghua Gate is ahead."

Yinzhen got off first, and then helped Yixiu and Honghui get off the carriage. Everyone looked carefully and saw that there was already a long line outside Donghua Gate. The princes and relatives and the ministers of the previous dynasty entered the palace separately.

Although the line was long, it was well-organized. Within a quarter of an hour, they had reached the group of people from the Fourth Prince's mansion.

After entering the palace gate, the few of them walked along the long palace corridor and saw the magnificent Hall of Supreme Harmony from afar. They knew it was time to go their separate ways.

Yinzhen leaned down and gave a worried admonition, "Honghui, did you remember everything that your father told you? Don't be afraid, and don't be nervous. If someone bullies you, tell Mama and your father. Also, don't walk around in the palace, and don't be alone. If a palace maid or eunuch you don't know asks you to go with them, ignore them and don't go with them..."

It happened that two princes from the royal family passed by and heard a few teasing words in the wind, "I didn't expect that the fourth prince, who is known as the cold-faced prince, actually loves his son so much? That's his eldest brother, right?"

Yinzhen coughed twice, stood up uncomfortably, his eyes wandering, "Okay, let's go to Yonghe Palace with your mother!"

Ama, thank you for your hard work!

Honghui silently cheered for his father in his heart, but on the surface he held his mother's hand and said goodbye to his father obediently, then walked towards the Yonghe Palace in the harem against the cold wind.

The palace was decorated with lights and colorful lanterns everywhere, and every palace was hung with big red lanterns, creating a festive and auspicious atmosphere.

There was a heavy snowfall two days ago, and the palace servants had already cleaned the palace roads in advance, so the road was not very slippery. In just about a quarter of an hour, Yonghe Palace was right in front of us.

"Grandson greets Mama. May Mama live a long and healthy life, have good luck, and be safe every year!"

Defei hurriedly called out, with a smile on her face, "Good boy, get up quickly and come to Mama. Yixiu, you also get up and sit down quickly."

Honghui stood up straight, walked towards the main seat where Mama was sitting with a smile, and was then hugged by Mama.

"My dear grandson, it's been over a month and I finally get to see you. Old Fourth never brings you to the palace to pay respects, so it's hard for me to even see you."

"Father pities his grandson's health and is afraid that he will be cold, so he didn't bring him to the palace to pay respects. When the weather gets warmer, I will ask Father to bring me to the palace so that I can see Mama more often. But I am afraid that Mama will not be interested in seeing me if she sees me too many times!"

Defei was amused and took a large purse filled with stuff and put it in Honghui's hand, muttering, "Rare! How could Mama not love Mama's grandson? Even if Mama sees you every day, she can't see enough!"

Unfortunately, this is ultimately a delusion. Except for the line of Yuqing Palace, the grandchildren of other princes are not allowed to live in the palace. Unless they are allowed to study in the upper study room, they can live in the prince's residence.

However, Concubine De still had hope in her heart, because the emperor showed mercy and allowed each prince's mansion to send one grandson to study in the upper study room. The fourth prince's legitimate son was useless, so this position must belong to the eldest prince Honghui!

Soon, Aunt Thirteen and Aunt Fourteen walked in together, followed by two strange women and a nanny behind them, each holding a child.

There was another series of greetings. Fourteenth Aunt was more active and had a big belly, while Thirteenth Aunt was a little shy. However, both of them were new brides who had just married into the royal family last spring, so their shyness was understandable.

The two women in palace dresses that had never been seen before were Concubine Guaerjia, the mother of the eldest princess in the Thirteenth Uncle's house, and Concubine Shushujueluo, the mother of the eldest prince Hongchun in the Fourteenth Uncle's house.

Honghui didn't pay much attention to the two concubines. Instead, he spoke to Mama first and then walked down to take a closer look at his two cousins.

These two are three years old, but they don't speak fluently and can only say simple short sentences, which is far from him.

Is this an ordinary three-year-old child?

Honghui seldom went out to meet guests, so he didn't know that an ordinary three-year-old child couldn't even speak fluently, let alone learn to read!

The three children standing together were compared to each other. After asking a few questions, Defei knew that these two children were not as smart as Honghui in any way. The way Honghui spoke and acted seemed like he was four or five years older than them.

Seeing Honghui talking to the eldest princess and Prince Hongchun in the palace, Yixiu felt an inexplicable sense of pride. Look, this is the prince born to a concubine. Do you ladies from famous families have this blessing?

After everyone had sat there for about a quarter of an hour, a palace servant reminded them that it was time to pay their respects to the Queen Mother.

Concubine De straightened her clothes, tidied her hair, and led everyone straight to the Ningshou Palace.

The Ningshou Palace was right in the direction of the Six Eastern Palaces. The closer one got there, the more women and little princesses dressed in gorgeous attire there were, all of whom came to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager.

Honghui looked straight ahead, just glanced at them out of the corner of his eye, and followed behind his mama and mother, not daring to slack off at all.

When they arrived at the gate of Ningshou Palace, a young eunuch came out to greet them. "I am here to pay my respects to the Empress Defei, the wives and concubines, Prince Honghui, Prince Hongchun, and the eldest princess. The Empress Dowager has been waiting to see you. Please follow me in."

The group went straight to the main hall. Honghui also saw that many female relatives were taken to other places, and only a few were taken directly to the main hall.

My father had said that the women of ministers’ families usually had to wait in the side hall first, and then go into the palace to pay their respects to the empress dowager in order. The concubines in the harem and the royal family had this privilege, and could go directly to pay their respects to the empress dowager without waiting.

Seeing that they were about to enter the palace, Honghui quickly restrained his expression. Most of the female relatives who could pay respects to the empress dowager were shrewd people. If they were distracted for a moment, they would be carefully watched by them. It was better to be cautious!
