Chapter 145 The Job Was Stolen
That night Yinzhen asked Yihuan to add an extra dish of fish soup, and the whole family drank it happily. It was the time for the little wolf to add complementary food, and after taking a small sip, he felt that his whole body brightened up.

Seeing this, Liuliu filled his small bowl with more water: "Brother, drink more, it will help your hair grow longer."

Ever since she followed the nurse's advice and shaved the wolf cub's hair a few days ago, Liuliu has been worried about her brother's bald head. She said to Yihuan worriedly, "Mother, is my brother going to be a monk in the future? Please don't let him become a monk. He can't eat pork, mutton, beef..."

Listening to Liuliu counting the various poultry meats with her hands, Yihua's eyes twitched and she interrupted her: "Don't worry, eat more, his hair will grow back."

Liuliu remembered this sentence and would feed the little wolf whenever she had nothing to do. As a result, the relationship between the siblings developed rapidly. Yihuan felt that her position as a mother was about to be lost.

Honghui picked up a fish eye for Yihua and said, "Mother, you have worked hard taking care of my brothers and sisters, so you need to replenish your body. The fish meat has become a little old recently. I will catch some fresh fish for you to try some other day."

Yihua quickly agreed and served Honghui a bowl of soup: "You study hard. I heard from the people in your courtyard that you have to study for another half a day after returning from my place, day after day, even if you are sick. "

"Don't make your string so tight. It's easy to break if it's too tight. Loosen it up a bit. Otherwise, it would be nice if you could take the little wolf with you every night from now on."

Yihuan suddenly had an idea. Xiaolang was a very energetic child. Now it was difficult for two wet nurses and four maids to look after him. With him disturbing the world, Honghui couldn't concentrate on reading.

Yinzhen was originally unhappy when he heard Honghui say that the fish was not fresh, but now he felt relieved after hearing Yihuan say this. He put down his chopsticks, clapped his hands and laughed: "Fujin's idea is very good."

"Mother!" Honghui was unusually flustered. He drew out his voice and acted coquettishly towards Yihuan. Yihuan enjoyed the dependence of her eldest son for the first time in a long time, as if he was still the little boy who always liked to put his head on her legs.

"Okay, let's eat first." Yihuan glanced at her daughter and younger son who were concentrating on eating, and felt a sense of satisfaction in her heart.

If we ignore the external ups and downs, such a peaceful and harmonious life is really desirable and gives people peace of mind.

******
When the wave of collecting arrears from the national treasury was about to reach its peak, a major event occurred that almost completely overturned Yinzhen's plan.

The Crown Princess gave birth to a son, and the Crown Prince now had a legitimate son.

The prince, who had been bedridden for a long time, was almost cured because of this son, and Kangxi tacitly agreed to release him from prison.

Yinreng knelt in front of Kangxi and cried bitterly while holding his son who was only a few days old. The prince at this time made Kangxi feel dazed, as if he saw himself who had just lost the queen, and was also holding the child in this way, as if he was holding the whole world in his arms.

Kangxi named this child Hongzhao. He would bring him to the emperor's presence every day to look at him before he could feel at ease. The rest of his grandchildren were basically forgotten by Kangxi.

For the sake of the legitimate grandson of the emperor, the prince and Kangxi entered their honeymoon period again, perhaps as compensation for the prince's silence during these days.

Kangxi gave the task of collecting the arrears of the national treasury directly to the prince, and said that Yinzhen should do his best to assist.

Yinzhen was extremely angry about his job being taken away, but he did not show it on his face. He agreed very readily and handed over all the account books he had checked in recent days to the prince.

Yinreng had been recuperating in the Eastern Palace during this period. He had not lost weight but gained some weight. His smile was not aggressive at all. "Don't be upset, Fourth Brother. I will tell the Emperor to take back his decision."

"Your Highness, what are you talking about? As long as it is an order from the Emperor, it is an official task. My most important task now is to help Your Highness sort out his thoughts. After the formal handover, I will no longer care about this matter." Yinzhen said in a serious tone, "It just so happens that Honghui is talking about going out to take a hot spring bath, and I can relax a little." "Fourth brother, it shows that you are resentful towards your second brother." The prince wanted to continue speaking, but Yinzhen handed all the account books and the Minister of Revenue to the prince, then bowed and left, heading towards the Yonghe Palace.

The prince's smile did not change at all. He did not look at the account book, but directly said to the Minister of Revenue: "Please tell me in detail about the current progress of the collection."

Just when the prince was fully absorbed in state affairs, Yinzhen had already arrived at the gate of Yonghe Palace.

"Youth pays respects to your Majesty." After saying this, Yinzhen sat down and turned his thumb ring without saying a word.

Defei was feeling frustrated in her heart. What kind of ancestor did she raise? He was already so old and had several sons and daughters, but he still had to be coaxed by her as a mother.

"Mother knows that your errand was taken advantage of by the Crown Prince." Concubine De had no choice but to compromise and comfort her, "It's better this way. Everyone can see that this is a hot potato. It's better to throw it away. The Crown Prince now has a new crutch. He is making a comeback. You should stay out of the spotlight."

Yinzhen nodded. He was very unwilling in his heart. It was just a little bit, the bait had been thrown out, Prince Yu would definitely take the bait, and then the purge would be a natural consequence.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince simply gave birth to a son and completely reversed the situation.

What are these sons? Not only are they not as good as the prince, they are not even as good as the prince’s sons.

Moreover, Yinzhen was still angry on behalf of Honghui. He had personally doted on his grandson for nearly ten years, but now he had completely ignored him just for the sake of a baby in his cradle. He didn't know how upset the child must be.

It's better for them to go away. With Yihuan watching over him, Honghui can relax.

De Fei obviously thought of this as well: "Honghui is a child with an open mind, but he values ​​family affection very much. As his father, you should give him more advice and don't really hurt him. The emperor has just been looking forward to it for too long and is too happy. One day he will see someone else."

"By the way, I made some delicious stewed food here. It's fragrant and soft. Take it back for the children to eat."

Nanny Lu had already prepared a food box and handed it to Yinzhen with both hands. After he took it, he thanked Concubine De before leaving.

Yihuan was also concerned about Honghui's mental health. During dinner, she looked at Honghui from time to time, and looked at him in confusion.

Honghui looked down at himself and found that his clothes were not messy. He reached out and touched his hair crown and found that it was still smooth. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mother, is there something wrong with my son? You have been staring at him all the time."

"Oh, mother just thinks Honghui is more dazzling than yesterday." Yihuan talked nonsense casually.

Honghui was silent for a while, and his cheeks gradually turned red: "Mother, my son is not a child anymore, please look at the little wolf."

The little wolf reacted when he heard his name. He raised his head from the bowl, with a lot of rice grains on his face, and showed everyone a toothy smile.

Seeing that Honghui was not at all bothered by Kangxi's neglect, Yinzhen nodded with satisfaction.

His Honghui has really grown up.
