Chapter 232 Fireworks Reappear

Chapter 232 Fireworks Reappear
The banquet lasted until the early morning. Everyone came with great joy and left with great satisfaction. No one was so blind as to cause trouble at Honghui's birthday party.

Today, Yihuan took a special look at the little girl from the Fucha family. She sat behind the wife of the Fucha family, and there was a distance between them. They did not look close, just as she had expected.

Looking at Fu Cha Wanling, Yihuan seemed to see the unmarried eldest princess. Both of them were children with a weak relationship with their biological mothers, so her life should be harder than that of the eldest princess. After all, Yinzhen was a good father, and he cared about the eldest princess as much as he did about Hongyun. Therefore, no one in the mansion dared to look down on her.

In contrast, there is a younger girl snuggling next to Madam Fucha. If you look closely, her facial features are somewhat similar to Wanling. Judging from her age, she is most likely the wife of Hongli in history, the famous Fucha.

There are not many records about her sisters in history. After all, her younger brother was so talented and brilliant that he occupied more of people's associations.

Thinking about the kidnapping many years ago, perhaps Wan Ling in history unfortunately died in that disaster.

Fucha could feel the Queen Mother's gaze on her from time to time. She looked back uncomfortably and saw her eldest daughter sitting there obediently with her head down, just like she always did.

Lady Fucha knew that her daughter was not as harmless as she appeared. After all, if she had no skills at all, she would have been reduced to ashes long ago.

When she grew up, Lady Fucha gave up the idea of ​​physical destruction. She wanted to marry her eldest daughter off as soon as possible, which would be good for both herself and her younger daughter.

But the master, who never cared about the affairs of the backyard, disagreed. He said that Wanling and Prince Honghui had a friendship that went through thick and thin, and had kept in touch over the years, so it might as well be a try.

Mrs. Fucha still remembers the master's expression at that time, which was the joy of suddenly knowing that he had a treasure.

Thus, Wanling's marriage was put on hold. Mrs. Fucha knew that her husband was waiting for the next beauty pageant, and he wanted to make some arrangements to give the Fucha family a brighter future.

Also because of the favor of the head of the family, Wanling's quality of life has improved a lot in recent times, and her originally thin face has become plumper.

Mrs. Fucha didn't take it seriously at first. She thought it was just a small favor from many years ago, and Prince Honghui might have forgotten it long ago. Wanling was a dull person and not at all likable.

But the frequent stares from the Queen today made Fucha Fujin not so sure. Could it be that Wanling really has this luck?
The Taoist nun said that Wanling was destined to bring misfortune to her father and mother. If she were to be allowed to succeed overnight, would she still be able to survive?

Mrs. Fucha touched the little girl's forehead with deep uncertainty.

Not to mention how Madam Fucha turned the tide, after the banquet, Honghui followed Yihuan to Yiku Palace.

"I just drank quite a bit of wine, so I asked someone to prepare longevity noodles. There aren't many noodles, but it has a good meaning and can fill your stomach to make you feel more comfortable." Yihuan tilted her head and watched Honghui earnestly eat the longevity noodles in one bite, and smiled with satisfaction.

Liuliu and Xiaolang couldn't hold on any longer and went back to sleep. Yinzhen drank hot milk tea and watched the interaction between mother and son with a smile on his face.

After finishing his meal, Honghui looked at the moonlit night outside and suddenly said, "Father, do you still remember your son's birthday many years ago? You took your son out to eat wontons on the street, and finally set off fireworks all over the city."

"That was the most beautiful and gorgeous sight my son has ever seen, Father Royal. I regret not being able to see it with Mother back then. Let's make up for it today. The Ministry of Internal Affairs should still have a stock of fireworks from previous years."

"What's the difficulty?" Yinzhen called out to Su Peisheng.

"Go get the fireworks and set them off in the Yikun Palace."

Su Peisheng and the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department acted quickly, and soon all kinds of fireworks filled the courtyard of the Yikun Palace.

Some craftsmen who specialized in setting off fireworks got up overnight to work, and at Su Peisheng's signal, they started setting off the fireworks.

The family sat in the yard and looked up at the sky. The bright fireworks lit up the sky above the Forbidden City. Those who had just fallen asleep were awakened one after another.

The Queen Mother sat up in her gown and asked, "What's that noise outside?"

"I see it's from the direction of Yikun Palace. I think the Emperor is setting off fireworks to celebrate Prince Honghui's birthday." Nanny Lu replied.

"Can't we sleep so late at night?" The Queen Mother complained. She leaned against the bed and looked out. The shining light was truly beautiful.

"The Emperor has always followed the rules, and he also requires others to follow the rules, but he always makes exceptions when it comes to the Empress." The Queen Mother suddenly said, "Tell me, what's so good about that woman?"

Just like the previous queen, Emperor Kangxi offered her honors with both hands when she was alive, and she was missed until death after her death. The son she left behind was the rightful heir to the throne.

Why on earth could women like them gain the emperor's favor?

Nanny Lu felt that the Queen Mother's words had hidden meaning, so she did not speak rashly.

"Honghui, are you here to pay your respects today?" The Queen Mother asked after looking at him for a long while.

Nanny Lu's heart skipped a beat: "Prince Honghui kowtows at the palace gate every morning. He has to go to the study and deal with the errands given by the emperor. He is really too busy, but he still remembers to pay his respects to you every day. It can be seen that he is very filial."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother's mouth twitched slightly, but she said nothing more.

She couldn't help but recall Honghui's childhood. Even though the two of them were drifting apart, the memories of them had never faded.

It was not only the Empress Dowager who was awakened by the sound of the fireworks. The concubines in the harem also came out of their bedrooms and looked up at the sky.

Honghui looked at his father and mother beside him, then leaned back in his chair more and more relaxed. He watched the clusters of fireworks light up and disappear, then slowly fell asleep.

Yihuan felt distressed when she saw Honghui fell asleep.

It was said that it was a birthday party for Honghui, but in the end he was the most tired person at the party.

Yinzhen stood up and covered Honghui with his cloak, then gently picked Honghui up by the waist, his face slightly red.

"Your Majesty, Honghui is not light. It would be better to find a sedan chair to carry him back, or let him sleep here with me." Yihuan was afraid that Yinzhen would not be able to hold the child and would drop him on the way.

"You are talking like a child again. He is too old to live in the harem. Don't worry, I will send him back safely." Yinzhen carried Honghui out of Yiku Palace. The imperial sedan chair was parked at the door, carrying the father and son away slowly.

The next day, Xiaolang got up and heard the palace people talking about last night's fireworks. His eyes lit up and he ran back to Yihua: "Mother, Xiaolang also wants to watch the fireworks."

"Wait until your birthday." Yihuan said casually. This thing is still dangerous and should not be touched by children.

"Mother is partial!" the little wolf said loudly.

Yihuan hugged him and tickled him: "You little heartless boy, when has mother never been partial to you, ah!"

"Hahaha." The little wolf couldn't help but laugh, and he kept nudging against Yihuan's arms. It was very funny.
