Chapter 42 Yin'er's company
Before Yinzhen left, an uninvited guest joined the relief team.

Yinzhen came alone with a small bag in his hand and said, "Fourth brother, I will go with you."

"Nonsense, do you think I'm going there for fun?" Yinzhen's face darkened, and he looked up with a stern look on his face.

Yinzhen didn't care about Yinzhen who was letting off some cold air. He poured himself a cup of tea. He was a little thirsty after running so far. "Of course I know that you have official business to attend to. I asked the Emperor for permission. First, I will go with you to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to see the world and help you. Second, you know that I am only interested in making money. You can use me for disaster relief and reconstruction. It's just right for me to earn some pocket money."

Yinzhen felt that it was the Fourteenth Prince who started a bad example, and that he had to ask the Emperor for help in everything. These younger princes were in favor at that time, and the Emperor actually agreed to Yinzhen's ridiculous reason.

It’s true that the younger brother is a treasure, while the older brother is a weed!
"Where's your luggage?" Although we were traveling light, there were still some necessary things. No one could go out with just a small bag.

Seeing that Yinzhen had no objection to him following, Yinzhen was in a good mood: "Don't we still have you, Fourth Brother? Fourth Sister-in-law must have made all the necessary preparations. When my brother gets married, someone will take care of things for me."

"There's no share for you." Yinzhen said unhappily.

Yinzhen didn't care at all. He even thought that his fourth brother was a really good man. He and his brothers almost indirectly killed Honghui last time, but he was the fourth brother's eldest son. And yet, for such a long time, his fourth brother had done nothing except to vent his anger when they met.

Fourth brother is such a kind person!

"If Fourth Brother is reluctant to part with it, then I will buy it with the money." Yinzhen said with a smile, "As for money, you have to spend before you can earn."

In this way, the two brothers traveled together along the way, and there was no end to this journey.

In the East Courtyard, Li Gege felt much calmer when she heard that Yinzhen was going to provide disaster relief.

"Which princess will go with her this time?" She now has the eldest princess and Hongyun as her children, and she no longer wants to go with Yinzhen as much as she did in the past.

Besides, disaster relief is not like traveling around the south of the Yangtze River, which sounds like it would involve suffering.

Nanny Jin replied, "The master left in a hurry and did not take the princess with him."

Hongyun is over one year old. Since he could speak, he has never been quiet all day. He is always mumbling something. Some of what he says can be understood by adults, but some cannot.

The happiest thing for Li every day was to hear Hongyun calling her "mother".

"Fujin's temper is so overbearing that she couldn't even tolerate me back then, let alone these newcomers in the mansion." Li sneered.

Nanny Jin wanted to say that disaster relief was such an urgent matter, so why would the master take the princess away? It had nothing to do with whether the concubine agreed or not.

However, Li's prejudice against Fu Jin was long-standing. She was just saying it verbally, and over time, Nanny Jin stopped restraining her.

Li Gege had to be allowed to vent, otherwise she would become a pervert in silence, and that would make her even more sad.

"Where is the eldest princess?" Li asked again.

"The concubine has hired a female teacher, and the eldest princess is studying with her. Today is her turn for the music class. Would you like to go and take a look?" Nanny Jin suggested.

Over the years, they have seen clearly that in the eyes of the master, the eldest princess is more important than the third prince. Perhaps because the eldest princess is the only grown-up princess in the mansion, the master asks about the eldest princess more often than the third prince.

However, the eldest princess was extremely estranged from her master. Apart from paying her respects every day, she never had much contact with him. It was obvious that she had been heartbroken for a long time.

Li Gege was still confused, and kept saying that the eldest Gege was not close to her, and she was angry and didn't take the initiative to get close to her. Jin Ma Ma tried to persuade her whenever she could, but it didn't work.

"She is the concubine's good daughter, why should I join in the fun!" Li Gege felt a little jealous. After all, she was her own biological daughter, but she was taken away by the woman in the main courtyard.

"How many months old is Fu Jin's baby?" Li Gege was silent for a while and then asked.

Nanny Jin subconsciously looked around and saw no one: "My dear princess, why are you asking this?"

Li glared at her and said unhappily, "I won't do anything. Look how scared you are. But she's pregnant again. If it's a boy, our Hongyun will have no chance of survival."

"You are just worrying about nothing. As long as the Third Prince is fine, your position will be as solid as a rock." Nanny Jin advised earnestly.

Li used her hairpins to tease Hongyun: "Geng is still the same, neither hot nor cold. Wu was so loud that day, but Master didn't even look at her. It's this new Niuhulu who was able to snatch the favor from Fu Jin, I think she has some skills."

"We can give her some convenience, what do you think, Madam?" Li's words were unclear, and Madam Jin's face turned pale.

"Madam is so cautious. Those who know her will say that she is thinking about me, while those who don't will think that she has been bribed by the main courtyard and is obstructing us in every way." Li was not smart, but she had her own logic. At this moment, she suddenly became suspicious of Madam Jin.

"Princess, this matter needs to be considered carefully." Nanny Jin began to procrastinate.

Li said nothing after hearing this and continued to play with Hongyun. It seemed as if she had heard it, but also as if she had other plans in mind.

Yinzhen's estimation was correct. As soon as he left, a eunuch from the palace came with an imperial decree to summon Honghui into the palace.

Yihua touched the back of Honghui's head, which was now intact: "Honghui, you are a big boy now. You can make your own decisions on some things."

"Mother, I'm not lying to you. Your father's journey is extremely dangerous. We can't hold him back from the rear."

"Your father had given instructions before he left. Once he leaves, the Fourth Prince's Mansion will surely attract more attention. You can go to the villa with your mother to avoid being summoned by your emperor, and also avoid the disturbances in the capital."

"It's just that after thinking it over, it's up to you to decide. Your father is risking his life to protect your safety. Do you want to hide with me, or do you want to go see your father?"

Honghui thought about it after hearing this and said: "Mother, if Honghui can make the emperor like me more, can he help my father?"

Yihuan hugged him with some distress: "Your father is on the front line of disaster relief. Mother doesn't know the specific situation and can't tell you. But disaster relief has always been a controversial position. Your father went there for the people. He is sincere and passionate. Mother doesn't want his innocent heart to be troubled by public opinion."

Honghui nuzzled Yihuan's chest and raised his head: "Mother, Honghui can also be a pillar of support for Father. I want to go to the palace, to see the Emperor, to... compete for the Emperor's favor."

Yihuan felt more and more pain in her heart. She resisted the urge to cry: "Honghui, mother will teach you again, never use calculations to treat an emperor. Once you use competition, it is no longer pure. Sincerity, sincerity is the most important."

Honghui nodded thoughtfully, "Honghui understands, mother, don't cry."

Less than two days later, Yihuan watched the father and son walk away in the same posture. She stroked her belly and strengthened her faith.

Everyone has to do their own thing well. Yinzhen works hard to control the floods, Honghui goes to the Yangxin Palace to please Kangxi, and the most important thing for Yihuan now is to give birth to the baby in her belly safely.

Their family will get better and better!
