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

After the servant left, Defei turned around and explained to Yixiu and her son, "The news that Honghui had smallpox reached the palace a few days ago, and the Empress Dowager also mentioned it several times. Now that the young man has recovered and is coming to the palace to pay his respects, the Empress Dowager also asked you to come over and sit down and comfort her."

"Please sit down first and have a cup of tea. I will be out in a moment." After saying this, Concubine De turned and went into the inner room.

With her aunt's words, Yixiu finally felt relieved. The last time she and her son saw the empress dowager was when they went to the palace to pay their respects on New Year's Day. Now, on a special day, a concubine and a grandson of the emperor were suddenly summoned by the empress dowager. She couldn't help but worry.

After waiting for half a quarter of an hour, Concubine De came out from the inner room and said, "It's getting late. Let's go. We can't keep the Empress Dowager waiting for too long."

When they arrived at Ningshou Palace, the Empress Dowager's maid led them to the side room for receiving guests.

"Your humble servant/concubine/Honghui pays respects to the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be blessed with good health and good health."

"Everyone, get up and sit here!" The Queen Mother smiled kindly and still spoke Mongolian.

De Fei replied in Mongolian: "Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your grace, which allows me to admire your glory."

The Queen Mother laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth. "You are so talkative. Why do you always imitate Concubine Yi? In the past, you were gentle and considerate, but today you said such clever words! Come on, Senna, bring Concubine De a sweet fruit to sweeten her mouth too."

Everyone in the second room laughed in unison.

Seeing the maid who often delivered messages for the Empress Dowager was about to speak, Concubine De stopped her and said, "Mammy, you don't have to be so attentive. The concubine and the eldest prince of the Fourth Master's family can understand Mongolian. They are Manchus, so they must learn Mongolian from a young age."

The Queen Mother was more and more satisfied. She pointed at the maid and joked, "Sairen, please take a rest. I don't need you here today..."

"Hahaha..." Another burst of laughter echoed through the side room of Ningshou Palace.

The Queen Mother also laughed. When she had finished laughing, she took a milk cake and stuffed it into Honghui's hand. She asked Concubine De, "How many days has it been since the eldest prince recovered?"

"Let the Queen Mother know that the eldest prince recovered on the 27th. The imperial physician also said that the smallpox treatment was very successful this time. No one was killed or injured on the fourth prince's farm. It can be seen that it was all due to the great grace of His Majesty and the blessing of the Eternal Heaven!"

"Really?" The Queen Mother only knew that the eldest prince had survived smallpox some time ago, but she didn't know the details of this smallpox. Upon hearing such good news, wrinkles appeared on her face due to smiling.

"Well, well, well, the eldest prince is so lucky. When the emperor finds out, he will be so happy! Ulanara, has the fourth prince passed on the news to the emperor?"

Yixiu stood up and replied respectfully, "Her Majesty, the prince delivered the news to the frontier at the end of last month, and the emperor even sent someone to the farm to express his condolences." The condolences were fake, but receiving the imperial physician and oxen was real, and she knew a little about the inside story.

The Empress Dowager had always been a person who never worried about anything. It was rare that she remembered that the eldest prince of the Fourth Prince had contracted smallpox, so she was only slightly happy for a moment and then let the matter go.

Seeing that the eldest prince seemed to like the milk cake very much, the empress dowager handed the whole plate to him and let her great-grandson eat to his heart's content.

Everyone could see the Queen Mother's temper, so Honghui didn't pretend to be polite. Instead, he took a milk cake and shared it with Wukuma Ma, saying, "Wukuma Ma, you can have some too. Honghui has eaten so many milk cakes, but the ones in your palace are the most delicious. This milk cake has a rich milk flavor and is very memorable."

"As long as you like it, there's nothing else here at Ukuma Ma, but there are plenty of milk cakes from Mongolia! When you leave the palace, take some back home to use. But it's still hot now, and milk cakes don't last long."

Honghui responded with "Thank you Ukuma Mama for the reward," and then sat there obediently watching Ukuma Mama and Mama talk. His cheeks puffed up and down, looking very cute.

The Queen Mother sighed, "It's a pity that the scars on the eldest prince's face have not completely faded, otherwise he would be a living fairy boy, exactly like the one in the New Year painting! When he comes to pay his respects on the first day of the first lunar month next year, if he is dressed up like the one in the New Year painting, how delightful it would be!"

Defei was tempted, but due to many concerns, she finally suppressed the idea.

Fortunately, the Queen Mother just said it casually and had no intention of forcing her. She quickly changed the topic and continued chatting with Concubine De.

About a quarter of an hour later, this sudden greeting ended with "I'm tired, you guys can leave first."

After leaving Ningshou Palace, Defei did not stay long and let Yixiu and her son leave the palace directly.

……

Starting from August 11, both liberal arts and martial arts classes returned to normal, and Honghui's leisurely days officially came to an end.

However, the class was interrupted after only a few days.

On the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th, even the princes in the palace will have a day off, not to mention the emperor's grandson who has less demands.

Honghui was also given a day off. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, he had to worship and appreciate the moon with his father and mother, just like last year.

There is nothing much to say about moon worship and moon appreciation. The ceremony is just a little complicated, but not very interesting. In addition, the moon cakes distributed by the palace are not very delicious, and are not as delicious as the snacks in the small kitchen!

But something is better than nothing. Eating mooncakes is just for the sake of meaning, and sharing a big mooncake represents family reunion. So even if the big mooncake tasted dry, Honghui tried his best to swallow it.

When the family sat together to admire the moon, he secretly complained that the moon didn't look very bright today, as if it was covered by dark clouds.

Yinzhen was quite happy, he drank alone facing the full moon, feeling even happier. Although he had handed over the cowpox issue, the emperor secretly helped him, so he knew a little about the progress of the imperial doctors.

It is said that there has been some success in the cowpox issue, and there are already practical examples from the imperial physicians. The saying that "people who have had cowpox will not get smallpox" has been preliminarily confirmed.

The cowpox and smallpox issues were of great importance, and any small progress made him very happy. If a cowpox vaccine was developed in the future, how many fewer people would die or be injured? The Qing Dynasty was stable, and Yinzhen could only be happy!

However, his happiness did not last long, as the capital was hit by a small earthquake the next day.

The earthquake occurred around the evening when he was having dinner at Begonia Garden.

The ground shook slightly, the utensils in the house swayed slightly, and the soup in the soup plate also rippled. Yinzhen reacted immediately, picked up Honghui, and walked out while talking to Yixiu: "Get out quickly, there is an earthquake..."

At once, everyone in the house ran to the open space outside the door, and the scene was in chaos.
