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

That evening, a banquet was set up in the front yard. One purpose was to welcome the guests, the second was to have a reunion dinner together, and the third was to hold the eldest princess's full moon banquet.

The full-moon banquet was not held due to smallpox, but the eldest princess's biological mother ruined things. Although Yinzhen did not vent his anger on his own daughter, he did not take it seriously, so the full-moon banquet was not held at another time.

Of course, the eldest princess's birth mother in the imperial genealogy was Qi, not Miao. For Qi's sake, today's dinner together was considered a make-up for the full moon banquet.

Several masters and ladies in the mansion gathered together and sat around a table, laughing and talking happily, creating a lively atmosphere.

Qi held the eldest princess in her arms, with the smile on her face never fading. Even though the eldest princess was not her biological child, her companionship during these days brought her great comfort.

She is getting older and her love for her is decreasing. If she has a child to rely on, life in the backyard will not be as stagnant as a pool of water.

Even if the prince doesn't value her, she is still the eldest princess in the palace, and at least a Duoluo princess in the future. If the prince is promoted to a county prince or a prince in the future, the eldest princess will have the opportunity to become a Heshuo princess.

So no matter how angry Fu Jin was with Miao and how much she hated the existence of the eldest princess, she would not take it to heart!

Seeing the eldest prince teasing his adopted daughter with a rattle, Qi became more and more delighted. She turned around and went to chat with the concubine, Li, Song and others with peace of mind.

"Dong dong dong..."

"Come...Brother is here...ah..."

The eldest sister doesn't look like my father, but more like Miao! Honghui thought so.

Everyone gave each other a gift to express their gratitude, and then returned to their own courtyards.

The next day, Concubine De from the palace sent down a message saying that she would summon the concubine and the eldest prince on the tenth day.

As for why it is not the ninth day, everyone knows that the ninth day is the death anniversary of Emperor Taizong Wen. People have to worship their ancestors on this day and are not allowed to enter the palace to pay respects.

Seeing that his eldest son's lessons had to be put on hold for the time being, Yinzhen made the decision directly: "I'm busy these two days, and I have to go to the palace to pay my respects the day after tomorrow. You can resume your literature and martial arts lessons on the eleventh!"

That would be three days later! Honghui nodded and said, "Father, it's up to you. It doesn't matter if you delay for a day or two. I'll catch up as soon as possible."

Yinzhen did not refute. He knew that his eldest son had the ability and determination. Besides, judging from the current progress, it would not matter if he delayed it for another ten days.

The father and son then started talking about tomorrow's sacrifice. On the anniversary of Emperor Taizong Wen's death, the clan office would definitely hold a grand sacrifice.

Since we are talking about sacrifices, we have to mention the deeds of Emperor Taizong Wen. As a descendant of the royal family, how can we not know the deeds of our ancestors? Yinzhen said slowly: "So that you know, Emperor Taizong Wen is the founding emperor of our Qing Dynasty. He was..."

……

After the busy ninth day, it is time to pay respects to the palace.

Early that morning, the mother and son dressed up and followed the Fourth Master's carriage to the Forbidden City.

After arriving at the palace gate, they parted ways. Yinzhen went to the Ministry of Works, while Yixiu and Honghui entered the palace gate and walked towards the six eastern palaces.

I was used to going to Yonghe Palace, so it took me less than fifteen minutes to arrive there.

"I pay my respects to the concubine and the eldest prince." Sun Zhuxi came forward from afar.

Yixiu always showed respect to her aunt's confidants. She had a gentle smile on her face, and there was no trace of contempt in her attitude. "Aunt Sun, there are guards at the gate, why bother you to guard the door yourself?"

Sun Zhuxi smiled very kindly: "Her Majesty has been looking forward to the arrival of Concubine and the eldest prince since early morning. I estimated that the Fourth Prince would come to the yamen at about this time, so I came out to wait here half a quarter of an hour ago."

"Is Auntie safe and sound? I am at the farm and it is not convenient for me to come to the palace to pay my respects."

"Concubine, don't worry, the queen is in good health! It's just that the eldest prince had smallpox, and the queen has been worried all the time, until good news came into the palace frequently, the queen's heart was at ease. Now the eldest prince has survived the smallpox and is safe and sound. After knowing this, the queen was happy for several days!"

As they were talking, they soon arrived at the main hall of Yonghe Palace.

"Grandson greets Mama."

Concubine De walked up and hugged her eldest grandson in her arms. She touched his forehead and then his hands and feet, with an unstoppable look of heartache on her face.

"My grandson has suffered a lot! Look at how much flesh has been lost on his face, but the scars haven't faded away. Yixiu, is it that the ointment in your house is ineffective? Don't worry, I have a few secret recipes from the palace. I'll take them back and give them to Honghui."

"Such a pretty face cannot have any spots on it!"

Honghui let Mama feel around on his body and only said, "The scars on my grandson's body have faded a lot. The court doctor said that in another seven or eight days, there shouldn't be any scars left on my grandson's body."

"That's good, that's good!" Defei couldn't contain her joy and pulled her eldest grandson to sit on the couch and talk.

"Did your father ever tell me where you contracted smallpox? Was there someone with a bad heart?" When she said this, a cold light flashed in Concubine De's eyes.

Honghui shook his head and said vaguely, "No one did it. It was my carelessness that caused Mama, Ama, and E'niang to worry so much. There are some secrets in this, so I can't say more. You just need to know that the smallpox I got is a good thing."

Defei was such a smart person that she knew there must be something fishy about the smallpox when she heard this. However, Honghui said it was a good thing, so she didn't ask any more questions.

Bad things will be covered up in every possible way, but good things will not, so she will know the truth one day.

Concubine De changed the topic at the right time: "Yixiu, the two princesses in your house who are pregnant are quite pregnant now, right? Have they made any noise?"

"To answer your aunt, both Li and Song are seven months pregnant. They will be ready to give birth in two or three months. Their pregnancies are very stable and they don't cause any trouble. They are very sensible."

Concubine De nodded with relief. As long as no one threatened the eldest prince's position, she wouldn't care.

As the conversation was going on in Yonghe Palace, someone from Ningshou Palace came with a message, "Empress Defei, the Empress Dowager learned that the eldest prince came to the palace to pay respects today, and would like to invite you to bring your concubine and the eldest prince over to have a seat with her."

Concubine De smiled and replied, "You go back first. I will come back after I comb my hair."
