The incident at the Fourth Prince's mansion was soon forgotten. Kangxi did not vent his anger on Concubine De. Instead, he came to Yonghe Palace from time to time to comfort her.

Honghui had the honor of meeting the Empress Dowager once. He sat next to the Empress Dowager, smiled kindly, asked him a few questions about his homework, praised him for his intelligence, and then let him leave.

Honghui was not depressed at all. At this time, the most proud person around Huang Mafa was his cousin Hongxi from the second uncle's family, followed by his cousin Hongyu from the eldest uncle's family. He was just the eldest son of the prince's family, and Huang Mafa would not show any specialness to avoid bringing disaster to him.

The one who came to Yonghe Palace the most was the fourteenth uncle. Of course, the father came quite often, so the two brothers inevitably bumped into each other a few times. In the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between the fourth prince and the fourteenth prince seemed to have eased!

During this month, Yonghe Palace was bustling with activity. Seeing the fourth and fourteenth princes coming side by side again made Concubine De even happier.

"My son greets his mother!"

Defei smiled more amiably and kindly, and hurriedly asked the palace servants to serve her two sons their favorite tea and snacks. She couldn't get enough of watching them talking to each other.

What bothered her most was the bad relationship between the fourth son and the fourteenth son, which made Concubine Yi and Concubine Hui laugh at them a lot. Although she still had some grudges against the fourth son, she couldn't let her two sons become enemies!

This is tearing her heart out! After thirty years of ups and downs in the palace, she finally has a peaceful life now. Concubine De doesn't want to be without blessings in the future.

Honghui curled his lips, took the milk cake handed to him by his grandmother, and ate it while criticizing his father and fourteenth uncle.

That's it? Five or six sentences at most in a quarter of an hour, with occasional lectures and irony. Can this be called an improvement in relations?

Well! Mama's requirements are really not high. You know, not long ago, Uncle Fourteen was hanging out with Uncle Eight and the others all day long, and he didn't say a few good words to Ama. Now he is like this, it's already an amazing improvement!

"Father, Uncle Fourteen is good at riding and shooting. Last time, he said that he would teach his son horse riding skills himself when he is a few years older!"

The Fourth Master was not very willing, and he showed it in his words, "Your Fourteenth Uncle is busy, don't bother him, you can have your father teach you!"

Yinzhen said sarcastically without thinking: "Fourth brother, are you good at riding and shooting? Don't let nephew Honghui down again..."

Defei immediately slapped Yinzhen and said, "What are you talking about? How can a younger brother disrespect his elder brother? Or do you blame your mother for not giving your fourth brother a healthy body?"

Yinzhen regretted what he said, and apologized shyly, "Fourth brother, please don't be offended. I have never been smart. I have offended so many people with this mouth. I didn't mean to mock you."

"It's just that, Fourth Brother, Honghui is my nephew. I am excited to see the prey and want to teach him horse riding and archery. You should not be so polite. Fourth Brother, you are busy with your work, how can you have time to teach Honghui? You are pointing to an outsider to teach first. How can an outsider be as serious and responsible as my uncle?"

Honghui also chimed in: "Father, just agree. Fourteenth Uncle saved his son's life first. My son admires him very much and wants to learn horse riding and archery from Fourteenth Uncle."

After thinking about it carefully, the Fourth Master thought that it was indeed possible. He could take this opportunity to discipline his Fourteenth Brother, so that he would not get together with the Eighth Prince and cause trouble everywhere. The Second Prince now had a problem with these princes!

"Okay, I agree. Fourteenth brother, there is just one thing you have to promise me. You can't take Honghui around and cause trouble."

Yinzhen muttered, "How could I?", causing the Fourth Master and Defei to say in unison for the first time, "Isn't it?"

"Okay, okay, I agree to everything. Mother, you are partial to Fourth Brother. Only Honghui treats Fourteenth Uncle the best."

Both the Fourth Master and Concubine De felt a little uncomfortable. The Fourteenth Prince really didn't think before speaking. When had Concubine De ever been partial to the Fourth Master?

The two looked at each other, smiled at each other, and tacitly changed the subject, no longer paying attention to Yinzhen.

"Mother, Honghui..." "Yes! Honghui..."

Seeing that his fourth brother and mother no longer paid attention to him, Yinzhen stared at Honghui with boredom. The more he looked, the more he felt that his eldest nephew looked like his uncle.

It was not obvious when he was lying on the bed, his life or death unknown, but now Honghui is in good health, his arms and legs look strong, and his riding and archery skills will surely be as good as his uncle in the future.

As for Honghui, the atmosphere has eased, and the relationship between Ama, Uncle Fourteen and Mama is no longer so stiff. His mission has been completed, and he is now quietly drinking tea and eating snacks!

Having not eaten any food for hundreds of years, Honghui was reborn and had to drink bitter medicine for half a month. He accepted all the delicious snacks and ate until he burped before being stopped by Concubine De, who also scolded him.

"He is still a child after all. He was so precocious before that I thought he was a little adult. Now look at him again, he is still greedy for snacks. Isn't he still a child?"

Honghui's ears turned red, which was rare. What a mistake! How could he not control his appetite?

The Fourth Master and Yinzhen laughed at the right moment, which sounded very strange and surprising to Yixiu, who was hearing it from a distance.

How could there be such laughter and joy every time I came to Yonghe Palace in the past?

"Honghui, after you leave the palace, come to Fourteenth Uncle's house to play with Hongchun. He will be one year old in September this year."

Before leaving the palace, Yinzhen gave Honghui some special instructions, and Honghui readily agreed. He finally saw the hope of reconciliation between his father and his fourteenth uncle, so how could he not take advantage of the opportunity?

You have to know that Fourteenth Uncle is a great general who can compete with Nian Gengyao. Whether in terms of emotions or government affairs, it is necessary to be on good terms with him.

The prosperity of the Qing Dynasty was inseparable from the military generals' defense of the borders and expansion of territory. With Fourteenth Uncle around, Nian Gengyao would no longer be so arrogant, and Concubine Hua would no longer dare to openly provoke her mother.

Before leaving, the Fourth Master went to see Yixiu. They were able to talk to each other a few words recently, and they also talked about bringing the mother and son back home.

Yixiu tacitly agreed to this matter, but Defei kept Honghui for a few more days, allowing him to stay for a full month before leaving the palace.

Honghui's health improved much faster than expected. In less than a month, he was able to run on the ground and regained the energy and health of a calf.

So it’s time to leave Yonghe Palace and return to the Fourth Prince’s Mansion!
