Chapter 119: Prince of Zhi
Yinzhen was a man of action. Two days later, Yihuan and the children were on their way to the villa.
Hongyun boldly asked Yinzhen to bring Li along. Although Li had been firmly in the position of concubine over the years, her favor had become so rare that the two could only talk about their children when they sat opposite each other.
Yinzhen was still very tolerant towards children, especially filial children, but people are biased, and he did not deny that in his heart, Fu Jin's feelings were more important.
So, Yinzhen did not agree, but he proposed another plan, and Hongyun immediately became happy after hearing it.
It was also good that his father allowed him to take his sister and mother to visit the capital alone one day.
Yihuan's carriage was very big, and it didn't seem crowded even with their whole family in it.
Honghui was holding Liuliu and combing her hair. Hongyun pinched a piece of cake, put it to Liuliu's mouth and took it away. Liuliu called him "Third Brother" sweetly.
The eldest princess sat quietly in the carriage. She looked at Yihuan and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Yihuan noticed the little girl's mood and asked, "Does the eldest princess have anything to say to the legitimate mother?"
The eldest princess reached out and touched her face, where there was a scar of a clearly contrasting color.
"My dear mother, my face is not going to get better."
"Nonsense. Your father, uncle nine, and uncle thirteen have all found famous doctors to treat you. It's only been a short time, but the scars are almost gone." Yihua looked at the eldest princess's facial injuries and said, "You are still young. You will recover naturally when you are old enough to get married."
"Mother, the Ulanara family is very good, but I am not good enough now." The eldest princess felt a little inferior. No one from the Ulanara family had ever come to visit her in these days. This was the attitude of the mistress of the house.
Moreover, she didn't want her mother to have any problems with her family because of her.
"Princess, please don't say such things again. Mother doesn't want to hear them. You are the eldest princess of the Fourth Prince's Mansion. You have your father and brothers to support you." Yihuan first comforted her. Her father would be the emperor in the future, and her brothers would also be emperors in the future. As long as she could establish herself, she would be the most noble princess in the future.
"It was you who chose the Ulanala family, not the Ulanala family who chose you." Yihuan smiled at Liuliu. The little girl's braids were crooked, but she was still beautiful.
Although the eldest princess understood this truth, she couldn't help feeling sad and depressed after her face was injured.
Honghui patted Liuliu's back. The little girl used her hands and feet to crawl to the feet of the eldest princess and raised her face: "Big sister, play."
The eldest princess gently wiped the corners of Liuliu's mouth, then patiently untied the messy braids that Honghui had tied, and then re-braided them. In just a few minutes, Liuliu turned from a funny girl into a lady with a smile that was not showing her teeth.
Honghui touched his nose. Every profession has its own expertise, and he was indeed not good at this.
However, it seems that he needs to have a good talk with Mingxuan, because his sister is not someone who can be picked on by others.
Yinzhen was tired of sitting in the carriage, so he went out for a horse race. Hongyun also wanted to go, but he didn't dare to face Yinzhen's cold face alone, so he wanted Honghui to go with him.
After interacting with Liuliu, Honghui contentedly took his brother to chase Ama.
The villa is not far from the capital. We set out in the morning and arrived in the afternoon.
The group was starving, and the village head had just prepared a table of farm dishes, which Yihuan ate very deliciously.
Liuliu held the bowl and asked for more. The little girl serving her looked hesitant. The princess had already consumed more than usual today, and eating more would easily get an upset stomach.
Liuliu was very domineering: "Go get some rice!"
"Liuliu!" Yihuan called out. Liuliu pursed her lips but still put down her bowl and chopsticks obediently.
"Father, Liuliu is full." Liuliu smiled at Yinzhen obediently and sat on the chair without moving, looking sensible and cute. Yinzhen was once again melted by his daughter. He picked up Liuliu and put her on his lap, scooping sugar water to feed her.
Liuliu's eyes sparkled as she drank. Yihuan felt that she was really easy to bribe, just a bowl of sweet water.
After dinner, Hongyun took Liuliu and Da Gege out for a stroll to digest the food.
Although Yinzhen was on vacation, he still had some daily affairs to deal with, so he went to the study.
Honghui finally got alone with Yihuan. He bowed to her and said, "Mother, I admire your and my father's methods."
"You little brat, I didn't do anything." Yihuan denied.
"Mother, you are in charge of the overall situation. I want to learn more from you." Honghui began to review the situation from his perspective to Yihuan.
"My son now feels that the beating he received was not unjustified."
Yihuan raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "That's because I felt a little wronged before."
Honghui smiled, and like when he was a child, he pulled a small stool and sat in front of Yihua.
"Mother, we can't live in peace with Uncle Eight's family, right?"
"There are no eternal friends, nor eternal enemies." Yihuan thought about it and borrowed a famous saying from her previous life.
Honghui pondered for a long time, his eyes becoming darker and brighter. He clapped his hands and smiled: "Although what mother said is straightforward, I think it makes a lot of sense after careful consideration."
"Just like this time, I heard from your Thirteenth Uncle that the prince's casual clothes were not prepared by us. Who do you think made it? Is this person an enemy or a friend?" Yihuan didn't figure this out, so she asked Yinzhen, and he just told Yihuan to figure it out herself.
Yihuan felt that Honghui's analysis was probably correct, so she threw the question to him.
"Uncle Zhi or Second Uncle Crown Prince." Honghui had thought about this question a long time ago, and answered immediately, "Second Uncle Crown Prince, he has been busy trying to have a legitimate son recently, and he can't even take care of Hongxi and Hongjin. As for Uncle Zhi, Eighth Uncle used his name to trick Tenth Uncle, and with the incident with Concubine Hui, Uncle Zhi probably hates Eighth Uncle too."
"My son thinks that Uncle Zhiwang is more likely."
Yihuan nodded, maintaining the demeanor of a master, seeing that Honghui wanted to get comments.
Yihuan told Honghui exactly what Yinzhen had told her: "This is not difficult, just think about it yourself."
Honghui rolled his eyes and realized that his mother didn't know either, so he held back his laughter. It was not good to laugh at his mother's joke.
The mother and son were together in the other courtyard, which was very warm, but the study of Prince Zhi was still cold and deserted.
Prince Zhi leaned against the window, drinking by himself with a plate of peanuts.
There was a brazier in front of him, with a corner of burnt bright yellow clothes in it, which was slowly turning into ashes.
Lao Ba, this time Big Brother is giving you a warning. If you dare to covet something that doesn't belong to you again, don't blame Big Brother for taking ruthless action.
"Ama! Ama! My brother is missing."
The second princess of the Prince of Zhi County rushed in in a panic. The Prince of Zhi County had only had a few daughters for a long time, and he raised them as sons. His daughters could enter his study, even if he had a son.
"Father, we took my brother to the temple fair, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared. He got lost." Er Gege's face was full of tears. "We have been looking for him for a long time but couldn't find him."
Prince Zhi sat up suddenly, completely sober.
