Chapter 89 Kangxi Teaches His Grandson
Yihuan's specially prepared sour lemon tea left Honghui with a sour taste in his mouth until noon the next day.

He just went to Wenyunxuan, I don’t know how his mother knew about it and punished him like this.

When it was time for lunch, Liang Jiugong's apprentice was waiting at the door of the upper study. When he saw that the students were done, he trotted to Honghui and said, "I pay my respects to Prince Honghui. The emperor has ordered that Prince Honghui have his meal in the Yangxin Palace."

"Honghui obeys your order."

Facing the gazes of the princes and grandchildren, Honghui walked towards the Yangxin Palace without haste. Over the past year, although the emperor did not summon Honghui every day as before, he would always have lunch with him every three to five days.

This kind of steady and long-term effort made it clear to the palace that Prince Honghui still enjoyed favor, and they no longer dared to look down on him.

Liang Jiugong prepared Honghui's favorite milk tea, as well as a variety of dishes. Kangxi was sitting with a book in his hand. When he saw Honghui come in, he smiled and waved.

"Honghui pays his respects to the Emperor Mafa."

"sit down."

Honghui grew up in the Hall of Mental Cultivation for one-third of his life. He did not feel constrained at all. He sat below Kangxi, took a bowl to serve soup to Kangxi, and then drank his milk tea attentively.

The sweet taste finally dissipated the taste in his mouth. Honghui squinted his eyes happily, looking like a satisfied cat.

Seeing this, Kangxi couldn't help but pat him on the back and said, "You're satisfied with just a cup of milk tea. Why is your father so harsh on you?"

Honghui shook his head: "Liuliu is teething, and mother controls her diet. As the eldest brother, grandson must set an example in the mansion, so this kind of good thing can only be enjoyed in front of the emperor."

Kangxi laughed out loud when he heard this: "Today I allow you to drink as much as you want."

Liang Jiugong was watching from the side and admired Honghui deeply. No matter what the emperor's mood was, as long as he had a few words with Prince Honghui, he would immediately be cheerful. This was a skill that no one else could learn.

"I heard that you were also involved in your tenth uncle's case?" Kangxi picked up a piece of pork ribs and gave it to Honghui.

Honghui replied with a little pride: "To the emperor, Honghui was just running errands for father and uncle Jiu. He didn't do anything."

"So do you think your father has found out the truth?"

Honghui thought for a moment and said, "The Royal Majesty has ordered my father to clear my uncle's name. Now that our goal has been achieved and the truth is known, we should stop now."

“Why should we stop at the right time?”

"Honghui, let me say something disrespectful. Uncle Shi is indeed in the wrong in this matter. We don't know how Mongolia views our Qing Dynasty. It's better to make a big deal out of a small matter, and then the storm will be over."

Kangxi took a sip of the soup and said, "Good, what a romantic ending."

The grandparents and grandchildren had a great time talking. Honghui danced with joy and told Kangxi about Liuliu's embarrassing stories: "Your Majesty, Liuliu has been teething recently. The little girl knows how to be beautiful at such a young age. She covers her mouth every day when she talks to your grandson. When you tease her with candy, she immediately laughs with gaps in her teeth. It's really funny. Your grandson couldn't help it and secretly kept a portrait of her. When she grows up, your grandson will give her a dowry. She will definitely be very surprised."

Kangxi was speechless. How could he be so deceiving to his sister? Little did he know that this was a tradition he learned from Yihuan.

"Also, my grandson and Hongyun followed Ama to the farm to farm, and she wanted to play along. As a result, the seeds that my third brother had buried with great effort were turned out from behind by the little girl Liuliu. My third brother was almost crying from anger. When mother saw this, she spanked Liuliu, but the girl only remembered the food and not the spanking, and did the same thing again next time."

“What did you grow?”

"There are also potatoes and peanuts. When this batch of peanuts comes out, your grandson will pick some good quality ones to make salted peanuts for you. The ones you grow yourself are the most delicious." Honghui said as if he was drooling.

Kangxi nodded. The fourth son's return to the farmland was not a show. He had persisted for so many years and made his children interested in farming. He was a role model by words and deeds.

"I've eaten a lot. Let's go for a walk with the Emperor." Kangxi held out his hand, and Honghui immediately followed and held his arm. The two of them walked slowly to the Imperial Garden, where hundreds of flowers were in full bloom, and it looked like a cluster of flowers, very lively.

"Do you have a favorite flower?" Kangxi asked casually.

Honghui shook his head: "My grandson knows nothing about this. The Crown Princess once gave my mother a pot of rare peonies. She had to take good care of them every day. If she wasn't careful, the flowers would wilt. I think they are not as good as the wild flowers blooming all over the mountains."

"You must not let Mr. Zhu hear this, otherwise he might not recognize you as his student."

Honghui nodded: "The teacher prefers chrysanthemums, and I have helped to plant them, but unfortunately the teacher dislikes my recklessness and won't let me get close to his greenhouse."

"Since ancient times, scholars and poets have used flowers to describe people. My Majesty does not ask you to become a precious peony or crabapple, but only hopes that you can have the vitality of wild flowers." Kangxi looked at Honghui, who was already as tall as his shoulders, and felt that this grandson was everything he wanted.

"Grandson is being taught."

After walking for half a quarter of an hour, Honghui sent Kangxi back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation and then went to the study.

Behind the rockery in the imperial garden, Yinreng sat there without saying a word, with a strong sense of unwillingness in his eyes.

He is just a young boy, why does the emperor care about him so much? Even Hongxi and Hongjin cannot replace Honghui in the emperor's heart.

Yinreng arrived earlier than Honghui and his group. In Yuqing Palace, the Crown Princess and Li Jia were competing with each other every day. He came out to relax, but unexpectedly saw Kangxi patiently persuading Honghui.

All of this once belonged to him, but now it has gradually been given to another person. Yinreng is like a jealous child, full of grievances and resentment.

If the baby in the Crown Princess' belly was still there and could speak now, would the Emperor still care so much about Honghui after having a legitimate grandson? I'm afraid he would have forgotten about him long ago.

"Go and invite Doctor Qin." The chief physician of the Imperial Medical Bureau, Ma, had disappeared, and it was as if this person suddenly disappeared from the palace. No one mentioned him anymore. The position of chief physician had been vacant for a long time. Doctor Qin was young and promising, and was gradually valued by the emperor. People in the Imperial Medical Bureau privately speculated that he might be the next chief physician.

Imperial Physician Qin rushed over and knelt down to kowtow: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Crown Prince."

"I want to ask you, how is the Crown Princess's recovery going?"

When Doctor Qin heard the voice, he felt that the prince's tone was wrong, and immediately recited the crown princess's pulse record.

The prince was about to start his long speech: "Just tell me whether she still has the possibility of having children."

Doctor Qin hesitated for a moment and said truthfully, "To answer your Highness, the Crown Prince's wife is in poor health and needs to be taken care of for a few more years. Otherwise, forcing a pregnancy will not only be harmful to the mother, but also make it difficult for the fetus to survive. Please think twice."

"How many years should I raise it for? Is it one or two years or eight or nine years?"

"Well, I am not very knowledgeable. Everyone has different physical constitutions and recovery times are different. I really cannot say that he is dead." Doctor Qin said with a stiff face.

Yinreng thought for a moment and said, "I understand. You can go back now. I caught a cold today, so I summoned you here."

"Yes, I will prescribe a prescription for you right away." Doctor Qin responded immediately.

The prince stared at the figure of Doctor Qin walking away until he disappeared, and his mind became more and more determined.

I have to have a legitimate son, I must have a legitimate son.

Since the Crown Princess cannot give birth, naturally someone who can give birth will be the Crown Princess!
