Chapter 8 Lee
On this day, the maid in Li Gege's room stopped Yinzhen again.

"Master, the eldest princess always calls me father during the day. Princess Li wants you to come over and see her." The little girl was very smart. She didn't mention Princess Li at all, but only talked about the eldest princess's admiration for her.

Yinzhen thought that his daughter had just been seriously ill and he had not seen her for a few days. "Su Peisheng, go tell your wife that I am going to see the eldest princess and will not be there for dinner today."

"Yes."

Li Gege saw Yinzhen and his entourage from afar, and pulled the eldest princess out to greet them.

"My concubine greets the Fourth Master." Li put on heavy makeup, and when she walked, her waist was soft and swaying, and her earrings swayed gently, which looked very beautiful.

"Get up." Yinzhen gave Li a gentle push, and when he saw her slightly bulging belly, his expression softened a lot.

The eldest princess walked steadily, with a healthy blush on her cheeks, and she no longer looked like she had been lying unconscious in bed a few days ago.

She walked slowly to Yinzhen and called out softly, "Father."

Yinzhen took the eldest princess's hand and looked at her carefully. Seeing that she was indeed in good health, he touched her head and said, "Li, the eldest princess has been doing well recently. It's all thanks to you."

This means that the incident in which Li neglected the eldest princess and caused her illness has been put to rest.

Li was overjoyed and moved closer to Yinzhen: "Master, the eldest princess needs to be fed. Take her away first. You can change your clothes and get comfortable."

This means we rested here at night.

Yinzhen really didn't want to leave. He had a lot of thoughts during the day. After seeing his daughter at night, he looked at Li's beautiful face again and didn't hate her so much anymore, so he agreed.

While lying on the bed, Yinzhen smelled the pungent scent of perfume and felt a little uncomfortable, so he turned his back and rested.

Li doesn't like to wash her hair, and she likes to spray some perfume after applying hair oil. Yinzhen didn't think it was a big deal before, but after spending a long time with the refreshing Yihuan in the past few days, he found the smell a little unbearable.

main courtyard.

The eunuch A Bao replied carefully, fearing that he would upset his master: "Fujin, the master has visited the eldest princess and is resting in the East Courtyard."

Yihuan has just seen Honghui. The little boy sleeps a lot during the day and doesn't want to sleep at night. He keeps his eyes wide open without crying and can play by himself for a long time. The nanny said that she had never seen such a worry-free and easy-to-take child.

Although she knew that the wet nurse was just flattering her, Yihuan was still very happy. She accompanied Honghui in clapping, blowing bubbles and kissing. After all this, she heard the servants coming to report on Yinzhen's whereabouts.

Because she was afraid that the sharp parts of the headdress would prick Honghui, Yihuan has been wearing real flowers recently.

Sitting in front of the dressing table, Yihuan took off her makeup and looked at her face, which was as white as egg white without a single wrinkle, and smiled slowly.

She must learn from the original owner's lesson, guard her own heart, and raise Honghui to grow up healthily.

As for Yinzhen, he is a prince now, will be a prince in the future, and will eventually be the emperor.

The women around him are like flowers in a garden, blooming one after another and never decreasing. It would be great if they could respect each other and become a prosperous couple.

"Madame Chen, Abao, you have to control the servants in the main courtyard." Yihua had something in mind and warned everyone, "You two are in charge of all matters in this courtyard. You have to put yourself in the right position."

"The master is a prince. There is only one voice in this mansion, and that is the master's voice. Even I have to listen to him. The master has valued me these days, so the people in the main courtyard should be cautious and not lose their sense of proportion. Li Gege has a big princess and is pregnant with another. Song Gege is the first one to serve the master. Even I cannot interfere with where the master goes. Don't let your pampering make you spoiled. If I find out, I will kick you out directly." "Don't try to spy on the master's whereabouts like today next time. I will know what the master wants me to know."

Nanny Chen and Abao quickly responded.

***
Time flies by quickly and Honghui is two months old.

News came from the palace that Concubine De wanted to meet Honghui, and asked Yihuan to bring him along when she came to the palace to pay her respects next time.

Yihuan was not surprised. The weather was getting warmer and Honghui was older. Although Defei had been giving him rewards as a grandmother, she had never seen them with her own eyes, so it was naturally new to her.

Moreover, because she loved Yinzhen, Defei was so eager to meet Honghui, which indirectly reflected her deep affection for Yinzhen.

It’s just that Yinzhen could think clearly about everything except the issue of mother-son affection.

Yihuan does not expect to improve the relationship between mother and son, but Honghui has an elder who loves him, and this elder is the palace fighting champion of the previous generation, which is a very important matter.

It seems we have to take it step by step.

Yihuan conveyed Concubine De's order, and Yinzhen decided to accompany them into the palace in person.

"Fujin, someone from the front yard asked if you and the young master had packed up. The master is already waiting for you in the carriage."

Yihuan picked up Honghui after hearing this. The little guy was still asleep, snoring softly, just like a piglet humming, very cute. Yihuan could listen to him sleeping all day long.

She took her wet nurse and Hong Xiao with her, and left Nanny Chen to look after the house.

"My lord, I've been waiting for a long time." Yihuan carried Honghui into the carriage and reached out to Yinzhen.

"Master, this child is getting heavier day by day. My arms are sore after just holding him for a while. Try holding him."

Yinzhen really wanted to say that this was against the rules, but in the closed carriage, there were only the couple and no one watching.

Yinzhen, who had been itching to do something, hesitated but still took Honghui.

"Master, look how cute he is. If you pinch his nose like this, his snoring will get louder. If you pat his head, he will hide. He can react even though he is asleep. Our Honghui is the smartest child in the world." Yihuan demonstrated to Yinzhen.

"Nonsense." Yinzhen gently moved Yihuan's hand away, "This is your son, not your toy. What if he wakes up and cries if you tease him like this?"

Yihuan raised her eyebrows proudly: "Master, you may not know that Honghui smiles when he sees me, how could he cry?"

"You, after giving birth to a child, you become more like a child." Yinzhen said softly, changing his position to make Honghui sleep more comfortably.

"Master, the last time I paid my respects to Her Majesty, I smelled the scent of ointment. Madam Ye beside Her Majesty said that it was an old illness that had recurred. My father also has a leg disease. This time I brought the prescription that my father often used. Please ask the imperial physician in the palace to take a look. If there is no problem, let Her Majesty try it. Just in case it works." Yihuan said.

"Well, you are thoughtful." Yinzhen's thoughts drifted away. Among the four concubines, only Defei had the old problem of leg pain. She was born in the Imperial Household Department and was a serving maid at the beginning. There were many masters in the palace, and she had to kneel when she saw people. Over time, she developed this disease.

It's hard for Fu Jin to think about this. Yinzhen is becoming more and more satisfied with Yihuan. She is dignified and serious, manages the backyard in a relaxed manner, does not blame concubines, is meritorious in giving birth to legitimate sons, and is filial to the elders. Compared with the chaotic backyard of his brothers, he is much less worried about her.
