Chapter 107: Love?

Hongyun followed behind Honghui and saw that his elder brother had a stern face, with the same expression as his father, so he shrank his neck behind him.

"Brother, can my sister's face be restored to its original state?" Hongyun walked a few steps on Honghui's shadow, and asked in a daze under the watery moonlight.

The elder sister has always been very good to him. Although his mother doesn’t like the elder sister, Hongyun likes her very much. She plays with him, teaches him to read, and coaxes him to sleep.

Although we meet less often in recent years as we grow older, the memories of our childhood are always there and have never faded.

"Of course." Honghui said in a deep voice, "You should come and accompany the eldest princess more often these days, so that she won't worry too much, which is not conducive to her recovery."

Hongyun nodded hurriedly: "What about you, brother?"

"Brother has more important things to do." Honghui turned around, the moonlight hit his profile, leaving a half shadow.

Hongyun felt that his elder brother seemed to be laughing, but when he looked carefully he saw nothing, so he thought he was seeing things.

The two brothers returned to their respective courtyards. Honghui once again sorted out the eldest princess's words in his mind and deduced that his mother was suspicious of his eighth aunt.

In that case, I'll just collect some interest first, Honghui thought to himself.

The next morning, Yihua glanced at Honghui and found that his bag was bulging. She asked, "Honghui, what are you bringing into the palace today?"

"Oh, it's the book that my son promised to give to Brother Hongqing, but I forgot about it a few days ago." After Honghui said this, he and Yinzhen got on the carriage.

Yihuan nodded. The things in Honghui's bag could not be put into place, so a corner of it was exposed outside. Yihuan thought it looked familiar but couldn't remember what it was. She didn't take it seriously. She had to look after the eldest princess today. A folk doctor had already come to see a doctor, so the mansion had to be attended to.

Yinzhen sat in the car and glanced at Honghui: "Hongqing asked you to borrow a book?"

Honghui reacted and subconsciously stuffed the things into the bag, then zipped it up: "Ama, it's a casual book. It's rare that brother Hongqing is interested in it."

Yinzhen sneered but did not expose him. It was normal for children to have some secrets when they grow up. It was fine as long as they were not passing around pornographic books.

Seeing that Yinzhen did not dig deeper into the matter, Honghui wiped the non-existent sweat from his head. The two of them entered the palace without saying a word and went their separate ways.

Half a day passed quickly. Honghui put on his cross-body bag, told Hongqing that he had something to do at noon, and rushed to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

When Liang Jiugong heard his disciple say that Prince Honghui wanted to see him, he found it quite interesting.

You have to know that Kangxi has favored Honghui for so many years, and it was always Kangxi who summoned him, and there has never been a time when Honghui took the initiative to ask for a meeting.

Then there must be something wrong. Liang Jiugong thought for a moment and raised his voice slightly while standing at the entrance of the Yangxin Palace: "Your Majesty, Prince Honghui wants to see you."

The room was quiet for a while, and then Kangxi's voice came: "Pass it on!"

Then, a woman in palace dress walked away reluctantly, looking back every few steps.

Honghui looked straight ahead and saw out of the corner of his eye a beautiful woman with disheveled clothes and messy hair rolling her eyes at him.

Tsk, you came at a wrong time. You disturbed the Queen's beautiful wife.

Following Liang Jiugong into the inner room, Honghui knelt down and greeted him obediently: "Honghui greets the Emperor Mafa."

"Stand up." Kangxi sat in front of the desk and motioned Honghui to come over. "Read!" Honghui read the memorials to Kangxi according to the old rules. Kangxi closed his eyes and listened quietly without expressing any opinions. Honghui put aside after reading one. In half an hour, he finished reading the whole pile of memorials.

Honghui, who was thirsty, took the tea handed to him by the eunuch and took a sip.

so bitter.

"Why did you take the initiative to ask for an audience today?" Kangxi was pleased to see his grandson's face wrinkled into a bitter melon. "It's not that the emperor misses you on weekdays, but I can't see you at all."

You know how many Aixinjueluo people submit their greetings every day, just to enter the Yangxin Palace and be noticed by me. Only Honghui does the opposite, and I really miss him every day.

"My grandson has learned a new craft recently." Honghui smiled a little embarrassedly, took out two things from his bag and placed them in front of Kangxi, "Aunt Fourteen is going to give Honghui a new brother. As an elder brother, Honghui wants to prepare a unique gift for the meeting. Please give it your approval."

"Your Mahafa, look at this little wooden bow. I carved it smaller than my fourteenth uncle's precious golden bow. It's still a little rough, but it will be fine after some polishing. There are still a few months left anyway."

Honghui put the wooden bow down and picked up a rattle. "My grandson is worried that the wooden bow will not be in good condition, so I have prepared a backup plan. It is the rattle that Liuliu loved most when he was a child. My grandson took it out secretly. If Liuliu knew about this, he would cry again."

"My grandson will put it in Mam's palace first, so that it can share in Mam's joy." Honghui happily imagined his future as a big brother.

"Do you like this child so much?" Kangxi asked, noting that the wooden bow was indeed roughly carved.

"Fourteenth Uncle has treated his grandson like his own son since he was young. In return, his grandson will treat his children as his own brothers." Honghui said solemnly.

"Besides, my brother Hongyu in the Zhiwangbo mansion is in poor health and rarely participates in strenuous exercise. He returns home after school. The two brothers in the Crown Prince's Second Uncle's Palace cannot go out of the palace to play at any time. Although my grandson is on good terms with brother Hongqing, he still has younger brothers to take care of. The younger brothers of my fifth and seventh uncles are all taciturn, and my ninth and tenth uncles all have younger sisters."

"My grandson only has one brother, Hongyun. It would be nice to have another one to liven things up."

Honghui counted on his fingers and expressed his little wish.

"If you want a brother, ask your mother to give birth to one." Kangxi joked, "Don't bring out this wooden bow to embarrass yourself. Leave it here with me and make another one for me."

"Ah?" Honghui didn't expect Kangxi to confiscate the fruits of his labor like this. He looked at the wooden bow reluctantly and said, "This is already my grandson's best achievement."

Kangxi smiled and said, "I will teach you that the best is always the next one."

Honghui thought about it and nodded, feeling that what he said made sense.

When the time came, Honghui took his leave and went back to class. The wooden bow was left on Kangxi's desk, out of place with the exquisite furnishings.

"This child is very close to the fourteenth child." Kangxi knew that the relationship between the fourth and fourteenth children was a little awkward, but he did not expect that there was no gap between the next generation. It turned out that blood ties were the strongest bond.

Kangxi began to flip through the memorials again. Suddenly he calculated: "Liang Jiugong, why didn't Honghui mention the children of the old eighth family just now? They have a bad relationship?"

Liang Jiugong smiled awkwardly: "Well, there is no little prince or princess born in the Eighth Master's mansion yet."

Kangxi was a little surprised and looked up at Liang Jiugong: "She hasn't given birth yet?"

Liang Jiugong lowered his head even more: "Yes, there is no good news yet."

"Wow, the Aisin-Gioro family is really full of romantic people." Kangxi said indifferently, and the good mood he had just had talking to Honghui was gone. "Tell Concubine Liang to find a few easy-to-give-up daughters for the eighth son."

"The slave obeys the order."
