Chapter 209 When Everyone is Reborn: The Legend of Zhen Huan - The Prince's Mansion Chapter 4
"What kind of joke is the headmaster making now?"
"You."
Having not seen her beloved eldest son for some time, Yixiu naturally wouldn't argue with Honghui over matters concerning the main courtyard. Besides, while Honghui's words were bold, they weren't entirely wrong; Rouze was simply making a fool of herself.
"The palace maid at the manor is pregnant. Rouze tried to cover it up, but Nian Shilan exposed it, and that's how the whole thing started."
Yi Xiu found it amusing; after all these years, Rou hadn't made any progress at all.
Upon hearing this, Honghui raised an eyebrow: "Fatty... what did he say?"
Ever since her son recovered from his illness, he has stopped calling her "Father" in private. It seems that he was heartbroken by the Prince. Yixiu is probably just feeling sorry for her son, so she won't hold it against him. Instead, she tries to cover for him.
"Your Highness..." Yixiu let out a cold laugh. Over the years, she had seen through the man's heartless and ungrateful true colors. Only Rouze and Nian Shilan were foolish enough to be completely deceived.
"He was naturally unwilling to admit it, so he ordered someone to take the palace maid to the Yuanmingyuan Garden to be kept there, and forbade her from entering the mansion."
Honghui laughed and said, "Tsk, doesn't that mean the Fujin and Consort Nian are going to fall out of favor for a while?"
Given Da Pang Ju's petty nature, what good can Consort Nian and the incapable Fujin possibly gain by bringing this matter to the public eye?
"It's good that you know, anyway it's none of our business," Yixiu has been avoiding the emperor's favor ever since she saw through it all. Now everyone knows that Consort Ulanara has fallen seriously ill and can no longer receive the emperor's favor. "But what have you been busy with lately? You're always running around outside."
Honghui concealed it well; apart from Yixiu, no one in the Yongwang Mansion knew or cared that he kept running away.
"It's nothing. I've been busy with the shops outside lately, so I just went to check on them a couple more times."
Mother knew that Uncle Ba and the others didn't get along with Fatty Orange, and Honghui hid the real reason so as not to worry her. But he couldn't hide his anxiety. Several months had passed, and Uncles Twelve and Seventeen had come over. But Uncles Eldest, Second, and Third remained unchanged.
Honghui couldn't help but worry. Was it because his father hadn't come? His father was the fourth child, so the three people above him couldn't come either.
Thinking of this, Honghui couldn't help but recall the palace maid that the fat orange had placed in the Yuanmingyuan. Was she pregnant with his fourth brother? Just thinking about what the fat orange had done made him feel terrible.
But for his father's sake, he still decided to send someone to the Yuanmingyuan to keep an eye on the palace maid, at least to prevent anything from happening to her and further damaging the reputation of the Yong Prince's Mansion.
Big Fat Orange, stop tarnishing Prince Yong's reputation!
"Honghui, Honghui!"
"ah?"
"What are you thinking about?" Yixiu looked at Honghui's face and asked worriedly, "Has something serious happened? Is there anything your mother can do to help you?"
"No, Mother, don't worry, I'm just a little tired."
"Then eat more. I simmered this old duck soup for over an hour. It's very nourishing. Try it."
"Okay, thank you, Mother."
...
Here, the mother and son enjoyed a cozy lunch, while in the Yuanmingyuan, the heavily pregnant Li Jingui sat at the table, her brows furrowed with sorrow. Looking at the food laid out on the table, she had no appetite at all.
"I'm pregnant with the prince's child, so why won't they even let me into the prince's residence? Am I supposed to stay in the Yuanmingyuan Garden forever?"
[555, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation.]
[Exactly, exactly, how could you be in charge like this, turning your master into a fetus?]
The fetus in the womb already had fully developed hands and feet, and no one knew that the body inside was that of the former Yongzheng Emperor, Aisin Gioro Yinzhen.
In his mind's eye, 556, a smug and self-satisfied man, stood behind Yinzhen and spoke sarcastically to 555.
[Waaaaah... Xiao Wu didn't mean it. I don't know why something went wrong when I was traveling through time. I wasn't originally supposed to come to this world.]
Hearing what 555 said, Yinzhen seemed to be thinking. Perhaps, possibly, it was because 555 was playing with the spacetime rift and he was curious about the system's methods, so he got involved.
It's okay, I forgive you. Do you know what kind of world this is?
Yinzhen remained unfazed, as if everything was irrelevant to him.
[Waaaaah, host, you're so kind!] 555 was deeply moved and immediately spent her own money to find out the situation of this world. [Hey, host, we've arrived in the world of "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace." Are you currently the male lead, Aisin-Gioro Hongli, before you're even born?]
[Hongli?]
Yinzhen raised an eyebrow in rare surprise. He had become his son?
[This is not the young Hongli from the previous world. This is also a fictional world, a sister story to the original "Empresses in the Palace," titled "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace." Here, Hongli's birth mother is Li Jingui, a palace maid, and his adoptive mother is Zhen Huan, who later changed her surname to Niohuru.]
[That's interesting. Send me the content from "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace."]
Suddenly, Yinzhen became interested in the new world. It was a continuation of "The Legend of Zhen Huan," so he wanted to come and see if there was anything interesting about it.
Reading ten lines at a glance, Yinzhen's extraordinary mental strength allowed him to instantly finish the entire content and memorize every detail. Sometimes, such mental strength isn't necessary, Yinzhen thought speechlessly. Human mental states can sometimes be even more insane than succubi's. Is this how much they love each other?
In a world like this, with such a harem of members, after watching it, I really have no desire to stay. He enjoys watching entertainment, but he can't accept that everyone around him is entertaining, and that he has to be entertaining too.
[Huh?] Forgetting all about laughing at 555, 556 suddenly jumped up, [Master, Master, I think I can sense Xiao Honghui's presence!]
【Um? 】
Yinzhen looked at 556, who was jumping up and down excitedly. "Really, really! Master gave Honghui a protective talisman from the shop before. It's a high-level item that binds the soul; I could sense it as soon as it appeared."
[Huh? Something seems off about this little world. Honghui should have died according to the plot, and those princes... they're all acting strangely.]
Wanting to make amends, 555, who was checking the situation in the small world for Yinzhen, also noticed something was wrong.
After listening to the two systems, Yinzhen smiled. Things were getting interesting. Had all the people from the previous world come to this world? Was it because he plucked the spatial string?
Suddenly, he wasn't in a hurry to leave anymore. He felt that his eldest son and his brothers would bring him some surprises, so he decided to treat it as a vacation.
