Chapter 31 Yihua's Teaching
After dinner that night, Yinzhen excitedly dug out a spinning top that was a little old but well-preserved.

"Honghui, let me teach you how to play the spinning top."

Yinzhen first showed Honghui the working principle of the gyroscope, and then demonstrated to Honghui in slow motion how to use force to accelerate it, how to use force to decelerate it, and what angle to use to make the gyroscope spin fast and beautifully.

The figures of the father and son shuttled around the yard like butterflies. Honghui was so excited that his voice was almost hoarse.

Yihuan moved a small stool and sat at the door watching. At first she was smiling, thinking that Yinzhen still had a childish nature, but later she gradually realized that something was wrong.

The more you watched Yinzhen whipping the top, the more you felt that he was venting his anger. Every sound of the whip sounded like it was hitting someone and it made people feel uncomfortable. Only Honghui was unaware of it.

Looking at Su Peisheng who was about to stick his head into the crack of the ground, Yihuan thought for a moment and gave an order.

"Yuxiao, heat up a pot of milk tea and prepare all the condiments."

Yu Xiao followed the instructions and started to prepare. While waiting for the milk tea to be cooked, she took out a crystal clear cup and started to prepare the ingredients.

When the father and son came back sweating profusely, the milk tea was ready.

Honghui's eyes lit up, and he looked up and asked Yihua obediently: "Mother, can Honghui drink?"

"Of course, but you have to take a shower first."

After saying that, Yihuan pushed the father and son into the bathroom. There were two wooden barrels, one large and one small, filled with hot water, and golden and silver petals were floating on the water.

Honghui, who was having fun, dived into the wooden barrel, and the eunuchs helped the masters bathe.

Not long after, the two came out wet. Nanny Chen took a blanket and carefully wiped Honghui's hair.

This is also the reason why people don’t take a bath frequently nowadays. If you don’t take care of yourself carefully, it is easy to catch a cold after bathing.

Yihuan loosened Yinzhen's hair with a towel, kneaded and wiped it bit by bit, and occasionally pressed his temples hard with her fingertips. She wiped for half an hour and even broke out in a thin layer of sweat.

"Honghui, father taught you how to play with a spinning top, why don't you explain to father how to drink milk tea." Yihuan said when she saw Yinzhen relaxed.

Honghui poured himself a small cup, then added his favorite raisins, prunes, and mango pulp in turn, stirred with a spoon, and finally added a layer of whipped cream and began to feast on it.

Yinzhen felt a little toothache when he saw it: "This way of eating must have been figured out by Fu Jin."

"Don't you like it?" Yihuan asked back.

Yinzhen remained shamefully silent, but proved with his actions that he liked it very much. He drank two large cups and used almost all the ingredients.

The father and son supervised each other while brushing their teeth. Honghui was too small to hold on, so he was carried away by the eunuch to sleep.

"Thank you for your hard work, Madam." How could Yinzhen not see that Yihuan had noticed that he was in a bad mood and was trying her best to comfort him.

Is he angry with Concubine De?
No, as soon as he left Yonghe Palace, Yinzhen figured it out. The Queen was trying to find ways to remind him that a storm was about to come.

In fact, if it wasn't Concubine De who pointed out this matter, he would have reacted on the spot.

He just felt aggrieved. He couldn't even decide which woman to favor in the backyard. Enduring this kind of life day after day had made him angry.

Yihuan shook her head: "Taking care of you and Honghui, I don't feel tired."

Yinzhen stared at Yihuan's smiling eyes, his heart full of emotion, about to overflow: "I'm afraid I'll have to wrong my wife in the future."

This was said in an unclear way, and Yihuan didn't understand it at the time, but she knew what was going on after a few days. Recently, Yinzhen had been breaking his usual habit of frequently going in and out of the rooms of several princesses to rest, instead of favoring only the main courtyard.

Even Honghui questioned: "Mother, why didn't Ama wait for Honghui here? Instead, why did he ask Honghui to wait for Ama in the front yard?"

Yihua patted Honghui's butt: "Who allowed you to question Ama? Honghui, never challenge Ama's authority. What you need to do is to guess his thoughts, truly understand why he does this, and finally form a response plan, understand?"

Honghui thought hard for a while, then looked up and said, "Is it because Honghui hasn't worked hard enough?"

"No, mother will teach you another lesson today." Yihua and Honghui looked at each other, not treating him as a child, but as an adult with whom they could confide. "Not everything revolves around you. You are not the center of the world. Don't underestimate yourself, but don't take yourself too seriously either."

"Just keep a normal mind." Yihuan concluded, "It's better to be still than to move. If someone dares to whisper in your ear about the rumors outside, just report it to mother, and mother will make an example of him!"

Honghui seemed to understand what he heard, and lowered his head in dejection.

I originally thought that with the guidance of my teacher and Huang Mafa, I was already a big kid and could share my mother's worries.

But now it seems that I am not strong enough.

Honghui silently swore in his heart that he would make his mother the most noble woman in the world and let her live happily without having to care about anyone's mood!

******
It's time to pay respects twice a month again.

Yihuan looked at the princesses with different expressions and thought that her peaceful life was completely over.

Yinzhen treated everyone equally during this period, sending a signal to the women in the backyard.

Come and flirt with me, and if you do, the properties are yours.

Another thing is that the main courtyard has finally fallen out of favor.

Li Gege was still dressed up, her figure after giving birth was a little plump. She stared at Wu Gege with eyes like fire, and the first thing she said was taunting: "Wu, I have sentenced you to life imprisonment. You are so bold to disobey my order."

Wu Gege proudly raised her head and chest, and fiddled with the pendant on her ear to show off: "Look at what Sister Li said, how dare I disobey the order of the master, it's not that I am exempted from punishment because I am really pitiful for me. I also said..."

Wu Gege deliberately prolonged her voice to whet the audience's appetite.

"My master also said that he would come to my sister's place in person when he is free." Wu Gege glanced at Li provocatively after saying this, "My sister said that my sister's food has been too good recently. She used to be a delicate beauty, but now she looks like the third prince's wet nurse."

"Oh, I'm outspoken, I hope Sister Li won't mind." Wu Gege said in a hypocritical manner, "I envy your good appetite, but I can't gain weight no matter what I eat."

Geng stared in amazement as Wu Gege continued to attack her. How come she never knew that the man who only knew how to cry when faced with difficulties could be so powerful.

Li was so angry at her words that she trembled and couldn't speak for a long time.

Yihuan shook her head, still a weakling in battle: "Ms. Wu, what do you mean by that?"

Wu Gege didn't dare to confront Fu Jin and didn't interrupt.

"My sisters are all old men who have served me. I won't say any more. Offspring is the most important thing. I have few children now, so it's a good time to have more. If you don't work hard now, when new people come into the house in the future, you won't be able to ask me for help."

"Yes, we will follow Madam Madam's arrangements." No matter what happened inside, no one in the mansion dared to confront Yihuan.
