Chapter 159 Eyes
During the lunch breaks in recent days, Honghui was summoned to the Yangxin Palace, and his only task was to read.

Honghui found that the lights in the Hall of Mental Cultivation were much brighter than before. Sometimes, if he stood at the wrong angle, he would feel a little dazzled.

That day he was reading a Buddhist scripture. Yes, his work had gradually expanded from reading memorials to travel notes, Buddhist scriptures, autobiography, and even music scores. As long as Kangxi wanted to listen, Honghui would read.

There was even one time when Honghui took a beautifully packaged book and read a few more sentences. Honghui was a little stuck. It turned out to be a pornographic text wrapped in gorgeous words. He had secretly read several books before, but none of them were as good as the one written by Kangxi.

Kangxi looked up and saw Honghui blushing all the way to his neck, and joked, "You are so thin-skinned, don't tell me you haven't seen these."

Honghui turned the page calmly, ignoring the illustrations in the book: "Father, if Honghui reads these, he will be spanked by his father."

Kangxi suddenly became interested in Honghui's private life: "Come, tell Huang Mafa what kind of women you like."

Seeing that Kangxi insisted on speaking, Honghui said helplessly: "It's the parents' order and the matchmaker's words. As long as my mother likes it, Honghui likes it."

"You are not honest." Kangxi laughed. He had also been through the youth and knew that Honghui was just trying to fool people.

"How many people do you have in your house now?" Kangxi continued to ask.

Honghui put down the book in his hand and said, "Huang Mafa, Honghui wants to go change clothes, you take a rest first."

After saying this, he left in a hurry, and his back looked like he was fleeing in a panic.

Kangxi was in a good mood for a rare time: "Why is this book placed here? Look how embarrassed Honghui is."

Seeing that Kangxi was in a good mood, Liang Jiugong also said a few words: "It is my fault. Maybe I have a bad memory and put it in the wrong place."

"You have followed me for so many years, and you are not young anymore, you are old!" Kangxi sighed, rubbing his uncomfortable eyes.

"I am not young anymore, but I can still serve Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please do not despise me for being stupid." Liang Jiugong played the victim to show his loyalty.

"How is Doctor Ye doing?" Kangxi asked.

Liang Jiugong immediately regained his composure and said carefully, "Doctor Ye is making the pills. He said they will be ready in three days. Your Majesty, please be patient and wait for a few days."

"I heard that Doctor Ye is well-known in the Jiangnan area. I hope he lives up to his reputation." Kangxi said lightly.

Liang Jiugong apologized to the simple old doctor in his heart and prayed that his medicine would be useful to the emperor.

"Doctor Ye is good in every way except that he is a little too bold," said Liang Jiugong.

After all, this was a ruthless man who proposed to stab Kangxi in the eye after taking his pulse. It was a relief that Kangxi was still broad-minded, otherwise he would have gone to see the King of Hell directly.

"People who study medicine must have an innovative spirit. As long as he can cure my eyes, he will be a meritorious person." Kangxi did not undergo the risky "surgery" but chose conservative treatment.

"By the way, how many people does Honghui have in his room?" Kangxi was really curious.

Liang Jiugong smiled awkwardly: "Not yet."

"Huh?" Kangxi was really surprised. Royal children usually have a concubine when they are about ten years old. This is to teach them about human affairs. He calculated in his mind that Honghui is almost fifteen years old this year and is still a rookie. This is probably a weird existence in the entire Aisin Gioro family.

That night, Kangxi turned over the sign of Yonghe Palace. It had been a long time since the Emperor had received Concubine De, and now the Emperor usually asked young and beautiful ladies to accompany him. If she came, it meant something was wrong, and she wondered what it could be.

"So that's what happened. I find it strange. I wanted to give Honghui a few palace maids. But the fourth daughter-in-law said that Honghui was too young and she was afraid that he would be influenced by someone with bad character."

"Don't be afraid of your Majesty laughing at me. Back then, the Fourth Prince was also impatient with the palace maids. Every time it was time for the palace maids to sleep with him, his face would turn ashen, as if he was owed a lot of money by others."

"Honghui is like the fourth brother, not interested in women, honest and steady."

Kangxi still agreed with Defei's evaluation of Yinzhen: "The fourth son is very similar to you, cautious and careful in everything. The eldest son just took after his mother, the concubine, and is bold and reckless!"

Concubine De couldn't comment on Prince Zhi casually, so she changed the subject: "Speaking of which, Honghui is almost fifteen now. Why don't we wait for the next selection and let the emperor pick a good one for him."

"Well, you just watch and report to me when you find a good candidate." Kangxi nodded.

At this time, Yihuan and others were eating crabs.

Impatient to let the servants disassemble the crabs, Yihuan personally demonstrated to the children how to eat them. Seeing this, Yinzhen also took the tools and disassembled them bit by bit, which was quite interesting.

The eldest princess used the tools in a proper manner and ate all the meat in the crab legs cleanly.

Liuliu had a different style. She ate all the crab meat that was easy to remove, and threw away all the edges and corners without even looking at them.

The little wolf sat on his special little chair. He felt that Yihuan was feeding him too slowly, so he stretched out his chubby little hands and smashed the crab shells with force. The crab meat, which had originally been in lumps, was smashed into pieces. He raised his face with some confusion and looked at Yihuan, as if asking why his crab meat was gone.

Yinzhen was watching with great interest, as the children's temperaments could be seen from the small matter of eating crabs. The eldest princess followed the rules, Liuliu was not particular about small matters, and the little wolf was brave and extraordinary. They were all good children.

If Hongyun was here, he would probably eat without caring about the whole thing. As for Honghui, he would give all the best crab roe to Yihua, and his brothers and sisters would get some crab meat. When it was his turn, he would probably only have the crab shell.

Liuliu and Xiaolang were impatient to eat such delicate things, so they only took a few sips and went out to play hand in hand. Liuliu was still a naughty little girl in front of Yihua, but she was already a very qualified sister in front of Xiaolang.

Seeing this, the eldest princess tactfully wiped her mouth and found an excuse to leave. Only Yihuan and Yinzhen were left at the dinner table.

Yihuan poured wine for Yinzhen: "The moonlight is very beautiful tonight. You should drink more. Maybe you can dream of Chang'e in the Moon Palace."

"You think I am Zhu Bajie, huh?" Yinzhen had also heard Yihuan telling stories to the children. He could never forget the story of Zhu Bajie carrying his wife on his back after hearing it once.

Yihuan shook her head and firmly denied it.

Yinzhen placed the plate next to Yihuan, and then began to unpack the crabs himself: "Eat it, you can only use so much, crabs are cold and not good for your health."

Yihuan knew that the situation outside had been changing drastically recently. She was originally worried about Yinzhen, but now that she saw that he was taking his time, she felt relieved.

Yihuan laughed at herself in her heart, what did he have to worry about? As the victor in history, the last thing Yihuan needed to worry about was Yinzhen's patience.

Yinzhen seldom talked to Yihuan about matters at court, and recently he just told her to keep a low profile and didn't give any other instructions.

Perhaps it was because the moonlight was so gentle, or perhaps it was because he was drunk, Yinzhen suddenly started talking about the prince.

Yihuan was able to get a glimpse of what Yinzhen looked like when he was a child.
