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

Entering the main hall, you will be greeted by an extremely eye-catching painting of a prairie goshawk, and a thick wool blanket is laid on the rosewood throne below.

The layout of Ningshou Palace is not luxurious, but reflects Mongolian style everywhere. It is the first time that Honghui has seen such a layout, and he is a little curious for a moment.

There were already about ten people sitting on both sides, some in the clothes of concubines, some in the clothes of wives, and the rest were either princesses or ladies from some royal palace. The ministers' families had not come in yet!

Defei walked in the front. Although Yixiu was a concubine, she took the lead and followed closely behind Defei. Honghui followed on her left and right. Behind them were the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Concubines, followed by the eldest princess and Prince Hongchun, and finally the Concubines Guarjia and Shushujueluo.

Honghui followed Mama and the others, kneeling three times and knocking his head nine times, saying auspicious words. They all spoke Manchu, which was the current official language!

The Queen Mother was Mongolian, and she had been the Queen Mother for decades but had not learned Manchu or Chinese, so the maids would remind her from time to time. Because of the reminder, the Queen Mother smiled and replied in Mongolian, "Okay, okay, get up!"

Afraid that some people in the audience could not understand Mongolian, the nanny immediately passed on the message for the Queen Mother, "The Queen Mother wants you all to stand up and answer."

Honghui could understand Mongolian, but he did not stand up rashly. Instead, he followed Mama and did whatever she did.

Defei replied with a few words in Mongolian, which roughly meant to ask about the health of the empress dowager. She also introduced to the empress dowager the identities of the large group of people she had brought to pay her respects.

"Empress Dowager, this is the eldest prince Honghui from the Fourth Prince's residence. You met him once when you awarded the Golden Festival. Do you still remember him?"

The Queen Mother waved to Honghui, motioning him to come forward and reply, "I know Honghui. Last time he praised me for my radiant face and sweet mouth."

Honghui straightened his body, looked straight ahead, took a few steps forward, and then greeted the empress dowager again in Mongolian, "Honghui greets Ma Ukuma. May Ma Ukuma be blessed with as much wealth as the East Sea, live as long as the Southern Mountains, be in good health, smile often, have everything she wishes for, and be joyful beyond measure!" His voice was clear and fluent.

"You are so young, but you can speak Mongolian so fluently? Can you speak other Mongolian languages?" The queen became interested.

Honghui nodded and exchanged a few words smoothly with the Queen Mother, showing that he could both speak and understand, which attracted a little attention.

Seeing that the empress dowager was in high spirits, the nanny whispered in her ear, "Empress Dowager, there are still many concubines and female relatives waiting to come in and pay their respects to you!"

The Queen Mother finally reacted and quickly said "Please take a seat", thus ending her communication with her great-grandson.

The mother and son sat together, and Yixiu would occasionally whisper to Honghui the identities of the people in the palace, as well as their close relationships with the Fourth Prince's Mansion.

The relationship is pretty good with this one, but the relationship is distant with that one, and we don’t have much contact…

Another group of people came in to pay their respects. The one in front looked like a concubine. I wonder who she was? But why did my mother's face change?

Honghui followed his mother's gaze and saw a young woman who looked a bit arrogant. Oh, isn't this Aunt Eight?

After my mother was promoted to the successor, Eighth Aunt had acted arrogantly in front of her many times, and even mocked her for being a concubine promoted to the first wife, and not being worthy of associating with the wives of the princes and princes. Even after my mother became the queen, Eighth Aunt never bowed her head, and looked down on my mother's background in every possible way.

This is a fierce and arrogant woman, the kind recognized by the royal family!

Guo Luoluo helped Concubine Hui into the palace and was extremely attentive and filial. For a moment, she even outshined Prince Zhi's second wife, Zhang Jia.

"The granddaughter-in-law pays her respects to the Empress Dowager. May the Empress Dowager enjoy a long and healthy life, be as tall as pine and cypress, and be healthy every year." This is also said in Mongolian.

Guo Luoluo was extremely filial to Concubine Hui, so the Queen Mother had a good impression of her and called out with a smile, "Okay, okay, get up quickly. Concubine Hui, Concubine Liang and others should also get up."

Concubine Hui took over the conversation and introduced the younger generations behind them one by one to the empress dowager. She also pointed to a slightly dignified woman and said, "Let the empress dowager know that the eldest wife has been pregnant for more than two months, and the eldest prince is going to have a legitimate son again."

The Queen Mother just listened with a smile, she was also happy that the royal family had a new son or daughter. But after all the introductions, why are all of them from the eldest prince's house? Is there no news about the eighth prince's house?

It has been eight years since the Eighth Concubine got married!

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother asked briefly, "Eighth Lady, is there any movement in your house?"

Guo Luoluo's face froze, then she pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Maybe it's not fate yet. This child is a gift from heaven. When fate arrives, maybe he will come. Don't worry, Grandma, I will hurry up."

With Honghui's eyesight, he could clearly see that Liangpin looked a little uncomfortable, and Huifei's mouth twitched twice. However, they said nothing and gave the Eighth Lady enough face in front of others.

The issue of Eighth Uncle's offspring was indeed quite tricky! As far as he knew, Eighth Uncle must have a physical problem, otherwise he would not have taken in so many concubines and still only had one son and one daughter.

The Eighth Prince had his biological mother and adoptive mother to worry about him, and the Queen Mother had no intention of interfering in his affairs, so she did not ask any further questions and just said "Please give him a seat" and let him go.

Coincidentally, this seat was about four or five feet away from Honghui's position, and he could see it just by looking up, and the distance was shortened in an instant.

Honghui did not pay much attention to his eighth aunt, but was attracted by the next concubine who came in to pay her respects. This person's dress, gestures and movements all showed the aura of a favorite concubine, and she spoke to the empress dowager much more intimately than the other concubines.

I heard my mother's introduction. So this is Concubine Yi! I heard that she was favored when she entered the palace. She was given the title of Concubine Yi despite having no children. The fifth prince she gave birth to was raised by the Empress Dowager. No wonder she was so close to the Empress Dowager.

While Honghui was daydreaming, Concubine Yi had already taken her two sons' wives to their seats. They were seated between Concubine Hui and Concubine De, in order of rank.

After Concubine Yi sat down, she greeted Concubine Hui and Concubine De and said a few words of "Happy New Year".

Then a nanny came close to her ear and said something, which made her nod frequently.

Concubine Yi and Concubine De have been at loggerheads since they entered the palace. They can be said to be old rivals. When she heard the nanny say that the Fourth Lady did not come to the palace to pay respects, she suddenly turned her head and started to make sarcastic remarks. She suddenly looked behind Concubine De and said, "Sister Defei, why didn't the Fourth Lady come to the palace to pay respects today? Calculate the days, she must have finished her confinement, right?"

De Fei smiled very gently, which was her usual outward expression. "Thank you for your concern, sister. It's just that the Fourth Lady was injured due to a difficult childbirth, so she has to stay in confinement for two more months. When she is well, ask her to come in and pay her respects to the Queen Mother."
