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

"I heard that the Second Prince in the Fourth Prince's mansion is not feeling well, and he has invited an old imperial physician to stay at the mansion. I wonder if he is feeling better now?"

When she said this, Concubine Yi looked worried and her feelings were sincere.

But how could Concubine De not hear the boasting and mockery in her words? The future of the Fifth Prince and the Ninth Prince was not as good as that of the Fourth Prince, so she compared them with the Emperor's grandson. Not to mention the Ninth Prince, the Fifth Prince already had three sons and three daughters, a long list of children, and it looked like he had a prosperous family.

Concubine De was also envious, but she didn't want Concubine Yi to be proud, so she always refuted her.

This time is no exception!

"It's normal for a child to be good at one time and bad at another. With Dr. Lu watching over him, we elders can rest assured. But my sister doesn't care about the Fifth Prince anymore. His reputation of favoring concubines over wives has spread to the palace! I heard that the Fifth Prince doesn't even go to the Fifth Lady's courtyard on the first and fifteenth day of the month. If this continues, my sister's grandson will be gone!"

The Fifth Lady was so depressed by the torture that she refused to give up her power as the housekeeper. The discord between her and her husband was an obvious fact.

Concubine Yi gritted her teeth and secretly hated the stubborn fifth brother who refused to listen to any advice and only brought shame to his mother.

She pulled the Fifth Lady who was sitting behind her without any reaction and said, "Jia Min, if anyone in the Fifth Lady's house bullies you, tell mother and she will take care of it for you! And you all listen, don't be disrespectful to the Lady just because you are favored, or I will find out and you will be in trouble."

She couldn't make decisions for the fifth brother, so she could only protect her daughter-in-law.

Concubine Yi stopped her activities, but another person came out to cause trouble.

"If it were me, Fifth Sister-in-law should have strictly disciplined the concubines in the mansion. They have become more and more unruly and dared to disrespect the wife by relying on the master's favor. And Fourth Sister-in-law is too tolerant on weekdays. I heard that her difficult labor was caused by the concubines in the backyard. Not only did she almost die, but even the legitimate son she gave birth to suffered. So, neglecting discipline will only make the concubines go further. It is better to have stricter rules in the backyard."

When Guo Luoluo said this, her attitude was arrogant and domineering, but her tone was extremely firm, which showed that this was what she was thinking.

The Fifth Lady's eyes immediately turned red. As a sister-in-law, she was actually scolded by her brother's wife in front of her elders, and in front of so many people. She was really embarrassed.

The expressions of the others also varied, especially those concubines who had given birth to children, whose faces were the palest.

Seeing this, Guo Luoluo was not willing to give in and started to teach the concubine in the mansion a lesson on behalf of her two sisters-in-law, and her primary target was Yixiu, who gave birth to the eldest son.

"Oh, this is Fourth Sister-in-law's concubine sister, right? Judging from your attire, you must be very favored by Fourth Brother! I heard that Fourth Sister-in-law was scolded by the Emperor because of the eldest prince you gave birth to. You are quite capable, but I don't know where you got the courage to compete with your own sister? As a concubine, you should abide by your duties. Didn't your mother, who is also a concubine, teach you that?"

Yixiu's eyes turned red, and she tried hard to hold back her tears. Today was the first day of the first lunar month, and she couldn't cry, otherwise it would be unlucky. She was always upset about her status as a concubine, because a concubine lost her position as a concubine, causing her son to become a concubine as well. Therefore, she couldn't stand Guo Luoluo's words.

Honghui couldn't bear to see his mother being humiliated by his eighth aunt, and immediately stood up and said, "I don't know where did the eighth aunt hear this rumor? My mother has always respected my legitimate mother, there aren't so many dirty things in our house!"

Guo Luoluo didn't take him seriously and sneered, "Ha! Fourth sister-in-law is still pregnant, but she has lost the power of housekeeper. If it's not someone's interference, what else could be the reason? Concubine Ulanara, the power of housekeeper in your house seems to be in your hands, right? So this concubine has to be suppressed, lest she dare to dream of the position of the prince just because she gets a little favor from the master!"

Although she couldn't stand the Fourth Sister-in-law's character, as the legitimate wife who had been favored for several years, Guo Luoluo could empathize with the Fourth Lady's experience.

"Aunt Eight, you're going too far! My nephew has never been ashamed of his background, nor has he ever dreamed of becoming the crown prince. He will fight for his own future! Besides, does being a concubine mean that I have fallen into depravity and can be beaten and killed by others? The royal family holds an election every three years in order to continue the lineage. Without so many women being concubines, how can the Aisin-Gioro family have a prosperous lineage?"

Eighth Aunt, what you said has offended all the concubines in the palace. Even the Empress Dowager and your beloved Eighth Prince are not legitimate children. I heard that your mother is not legitimate either!

Guo Luoluo became slightly angry and was about to fight back, but then Concubine De took action.

De Fei patted her eldest grandson's hand lightly, as if there was no force at all, and pretended to be angry and scolded: "Nonsense, you are a junior, how can you offend the elders with your words?"

Then she apologized to Guo Luoluo, "Eighth Lady, my grandson is only four years old and still doesn't know much. If he has offended me in any way, please don't be offended by him."

Do you have the nerve to argue with a four-year-old? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if you tell others about it!

The Eighth Lady's aggrieved expression showed on her face. She forced herself to say, "It's okay. I won't bother with a child like him," and then sulked by herself.

Concubine Hui and Concubine Liang watched helplessly as the Eighth Lady embarrassed herself and their faces hung. It was hard to describe the character of the Eighth Lady. She even made a big fuss and took care of the affairs of her uncles' houses!

Today's incident has seriously offended the entire Yonghe Palace clan, and also offended the Fifth Lady!

De Fei refused to give up. She turned around and complained to the person who could control the Eighth Lady, "Sister Hui Fei, Sister Liangpin, please don't blame me for being nosy. The Eighth Prince is already in his twenties, right? How come there is no movement in the backyard? We have been tossing around in the palace for most of our lives. We should have enjoyed the fun of playing with our grandchildren long ago."

After saying this, Concubine De stopped talking. Some things should be said at once. There are so many spies in Ningshou Palace. It would be strange if what happened today did not reach the ears of the emperor and the empress dowager!

Concubine Hui and Concubine Liang looked at each other and felt that this matter was thorny. They had preached to them countless times in the past and had even given them several concubines and princesses, but the Eighth Lady insisted on fighting and killing them, and would not let the Eighth Prince get close to them.

But you have to be able to give birth to an heir! At worst, like the Fourth Lady, even if you give birth to a sickly prince, it will be an explanation to the royal family.

Perhaps she noticed the gazes of Concubine Hui and Concubine Liang, Guo Luoluo sat up straighter uncomfortably, and did not cause any more trouble until the greetings were over.

"Arrogant and domineering", Ama's evaluation was very accurate. Seeing that the Eighth Aunt had stopped, Honghui was very satisfied. This person should be punished!

After that, everything was peaceful and calm. No one said anything mean or stirred up trouble. Although from time to time, some people would discuss the women who came to the palace to pay their respects, it was just a few harmless comments and nothing serious.

However, when Longkodo's wife Hesheli appeared, Honghui keenly discovered that Mama seemed to be absent-minded, and he didn't know what she was thinking about.

The matter between Mama and Longkodo is indeed a big problem. If it is not handled properly, the mother and son will end up turning against each other.

"Mama!"

He couldn't help but call out, and successfully awakened Concubine De's consciousness.

Defei acted as if nothing had happened, and it was hard to tell that she had lost consciousness. She whispered in Honghui's ear, "Are you tired? But don't worry, it will be over soon."

The so-called 'soon to be over' lasted for two hours. Two hours later, around noon, the greetings that had lasted for half a day were finally declared over.

"Okay, all of you go back. I'm tired, so I won't keep you any longer."

The Queen Mother spoke very bluntly, but the maid who passed on her message was more tactful. "The Queen Mother sympathizes with you all for coming to the palace so early in the morning. I'm afraid you must be tired, so I want you all to go back and rest early."

Honghui stood up and bowed along with everyone else, respectfully seeing the Queen Mother off.
