As soon as these words were spoken, Kangxi felt extremely relieved. No matter what, the fourth son still trusted him as the emperor the most.

"Okay, you've been idle for long enough. Go back and do a few more errands for me, so you can set an example for my grandson."

Yinzhen was delighted in his heart, but his face remained calm: "Thank you, Father, for your grace!"

Kangxi simply waved his hand and said, "Get up! It's getting late. Go back first. I have to summon Ma Qi to discuss matters later!"

"My son, please retire."

Looking at the mature and steady figure of the fourth child, Kangxi nodded. The fourth child's energy-cultivation skills have become more and more appropriate. It is all because of his good education!

After everyone left, Kangxi pointed at Li Dequan and said, "Li Dequan, you know best how to act in front of me."

Li Dequan immediately knelt down, with his head on the ground, looking extremely respectful and loyal. "I only know that the news from the imperial court must not be disclosed to the outside world. When serving the emperor, I should just pretend to be dumb and deaf. So today, I didn't hear anything!"

Kangxi nodded. He knew Li Dequan's loyalty. Many servants in the imperial court were punished for their loose tongues, but Li Dequan had never made any mistakes in all these years.

"Get up!"

Li Dequan wiped the sweat from his face, stood back to his original position quietly, handed a memorial to the emperor from time to time, and refilled his cup of tea, just like usual.

Kangxi glanced at four or five memorials, drank a cup of tea, and estimated that a quarter of an hour had passed before he said, "Go, call Ma Qi in to answer my questions."

Li Dequan turned around and was about to walk out, but was stopped by the emperor.

"Wait, go pick out some good things from the store. I want to give them to Prince Honghui as a reward! I have been hiding this from people. I will go to Yonghe Palace tomorrow, and you can take them there quietly."

Kangxi wanted to get through Concubine De's hands to avoid any further trouble.

……

Yinzhen had no idea what his royal father was thinking. He only knew that Honghui had a future and he had a job.

As long as Honghui remains so smart and sensible, the Emperor will only love this eldest prince who ranks among the emperor's grandchildren even more. Didn't you see that the Emperor has changed his name to show affection?

When Yinzhen walked out of Changchun Garden, he also saw Lord Ma Qi, but they were not very familiar with each other. The one who was really familiar with Fucha Ma Qi was his eighth brother.

He just nodded as a greeting, but Yinzhen had no intention of building a good relationship with the important ministers in front of the emperor.

When he saw Honghui again, he said nothing, including the fact that he had shown his eldest son's face in front of the emperor, or that the emperor praised his eldest son.

Pride brings harm, humility brings benefit! He didn't want his eldest son to be complacent after learning about this.

However, life is unpredictable and he soon had to tell the truth to his eldest son.

Three days later, Concubine De in Yonghe Palace suddenly sent someone to the mansion to deliver a reward, and she specifically specified that it was for the eldest prince alone.

The person sent by Concubine De was her confidant Sun Zhuxi, which shows how much she values ​​the eldest prince.

In front of the concubine and the eldest prince, Sun Zhuxi smiled gently and intimately, without any strangeness, "Eldest prince, this is a gift from your mama."

Seeing that there was no one else in the room except the Fourth Prince, she said vaguely: "The emperor came to Yonghe Palace two days ago, and then there were a few more items in the curry..." She didn't need to say anything more. With the Fourth Prince's intelligence, he could guess the reason.

Yinzhen did guess the origin of the reward, and also guessed the reason why the emperor's father acted so secretively. To sum it up in one sentence, it is that a single move affects the entire body, and the emperor does not want to change the current situation in the court!

He stretched out his hands and cupped his fists to show his respect to the emperor: "Thank you, Aunt Sun. Please tell the queen that I have worked so hard for you!"

"You are too polite, Lord Beile. This is what I should do. When the queen asked me to come here, she also asked me to bring a message, saying that this is not a good time for the eldest prince to gain face. Please stop while you are ahead and don't be too disappointed."

"Aunt Sun, please say a word on behalf of this prince, and tell him not to worry, mother, I know what's going on." Yinzhen had long guessed that the emperor would not start a war at this time, so he was not too disappointed.

Now that things have been said to this point, how could the other two people present not guess where the reward came from?

Yixiu looked at the pile of rewards in front of him with great excitement. The Duan inkstone alone was worth a lot of money. There were also several wolf-hair brushes, and many more things from the West. There was even a precious pocket watch.

In her heart, these rewards are extremely precious, and each one is of extraordinary significance. This is the emperor's love for the eldest prince!

Seeing his mother's delighted expression, Honghui's eyes couldn't help but be fixed on his father's figure. It wasn't a festival at this time of year, so how could the emperor reward so many things to his grandson?

So, Ama, you must have done something about it!

At present, Aunt Sun was still there, and Honghui did not ask many questions. He just showed great joy and even said "I like" several times, giving the response he should have.

Finally, he took Sun Zhuxi's hand and told her, "Aunt Sun, please thank Mama for me. I really like the reward Mama sent me."

Sun Zhuxi had a smile on her face all the time. Looking at the slightly taller eldest prince, she felt endless love in her heart. "Don't worry, eldest prince. I will definitely tell the queen about this."

Sun Zhuxi did not stay for long, but quickly returned to the palace. The time for locking the palace gates was posted there, and no one could delay it.

After everyone left, Honghui immediately asked, "Father, does this matter have anything to do with you?"

Yinzhen was puzzled for a moment. Could Honghui be so perceptive? "How did you know?"

"The last time my son saw the Emperor was during the Chinese New Year, which is five months later. And now it's not a festival, how could the Emperor suddenly give him a reward? So, this matter must have something to do with you, Father."

Yinzhen nodded and said, "Father praised you a few times in front of the emperor. Maybe he praised you a little too much, so your father gave you so many rewards." There is no point in hiding it any longer!

How did Ama praise him? Honghui did not ask further. It was just a few words like smart, sensible, and filial. Ama had repeated them to his mother countless times!

"Thank you, Father! It's because you love your son that he has received so many rewards."

Yinzhen accepted the thanks, and because his eldest son was still young, he added one more thing: "Honghui, you must remember that these rewards were sent by your mama, and have nothing to do with your royal mama!"

A sly smile flashed in Honghui's eyes: "Son knows that these rewards were secretly sent by the Royal Mafa. Son will not tell anyone about it. This is a secret between son, father, mother, Royal Mafa and Mama!"
