It is said that the eldest son and grandson are the lifeblood of the old man. Obviously, this statement is also applicable to the old lady. Of course, under the premise that they are both lifeblood, the power of the buff of intergenerational kinship is revealed. Compared with the eldest son, Concubine De obviously cares more about her eldest grandson.
"Fourteen, you're itching for trouble again, aren't you? Don't force me to beat you up on New Year's Day! Hurry and put Honghui down to me! If you bump into my good grandson, you'll see how I'll deal with you."
Fourteenth uncle was flying around the yard with Honghui in circles, but he was frightened by his mother's shout and stopped in his tracks. Honghui was having fun, but when he saw his uncle Fourteenth stop, he couldn't help but urge them on anxiously.
"Fourteenth Uncle, run, Honghui still wants to fly."
Fourteen pinched the little guy's armpit, bent down carefully and put him on the ground, squatted down and pinched the little guy's face, raised his hand and pointed in the direction where Concubine De was standing.
"Nephew, it's not that Fourteenth Uncle doesn't want to take you flying. Look, your Mama is standing there watching us. If Fourteenth Uncle dares to put the reins on your neck again, I'll beat you."
The little guy looked in the direction of Fourteenth Finger, and sure enough, he saw Mama standing at the door and waving at him with a smile. On one side was Mama who loved him, and on the other side was Uncle Fourteen who could take him flying. Honghui experienced the feeling of being caught in a dilemma at a young age, and he really couldn't let go of either side.
Yinzuo had just been standing in the yard watching Fourteen and Honghui making a fuss for a long time. Seeing the little guy's embarrassed face, he walked towards him. When he got in front of the little guy, he raised his hand and touched his little head, smiling.
"Honghui, since you're my nephew, I'll teach you a trick today. First of all, when it comes to currying favor with someone, you need to distinguish between the big and small ones. If I were you, I would go to your mama without hesitation..."
The little fellow was still hesitating, but upon hearing what Yinzuo said, he was no longer entangled. He felt that his sixth uncle was right. In Yonghe Palace, Mama was the most senior, so she was naturally the eldest prince. Fourteenth uncle was afraid of Ama and also afraid of Sixth Uncle, so he was naturally the youngest prince. When the eldest prince met the younger prince, he would naturally go to Mama's side.
"Ma Ma..."
The fourteenth uncle, abandoned by his nephew, was really dumbfounded. No, nephew, let's not struggle anymore, right? Okay, you left without hesitation today, but it will be difficult to let your fourteenth uncle take you flying.
"Now you want to break up, so let's break up. Don't even think about using lies to coax me back..."
Well, how should I put it? This word fits the scene perfectly. Accompanied by the whistling winter night breeze, it is simply a true portrayal of Fourteen's heart at this moment. In one word, it can be summed up - cold.
"Fourth brother, stop laughing! Look at your son, your brother, and your mother. Can't you control them?"
Yinzhen originally felt quite sympathetic towards Fourteenth Brother. After all, Honghui was his son after all. The way this kid sat just now was indeed not very decent. But then again, Fourteenth Brother, don't you look at the three people you mentioned? Which one of them do you think I, your brother, can control?
"Old Four, Little Six, and Little Fourteen, it's so cold outside. You three are addicted to standing outside. Why don't you come in quickly?"
While the three brothers were talking, Concubine De had already held her eldest grandson in her arms and admired him from beginning to end. After admiring her eldest grandson enough, our Concubine De finally remembered that she had three sons standing outside.
Empress Defei did have maternal love, but it was obviously not much. She called out to the three brothers outside, then turned around and went into the house with Honghui in her arms. "Really? It's okay for you three to get cold for a while since you are thick-skinned, but what if my dear grandson gets cold?
Yinzhen, Yinzuo, and the fourteenth child looked at each other, shook their heads helplessly, and walked back into the house. "Alas, isn't it said that women are fickle? Didn't you say before that I was your only little treasure? How come, in just a few short years, your treasure has changed again?"
"Mother, I've figured it out. Ever since you had your grandson Honghui, you've left us sons behind. It's like the old generation is replaced by the new generation..."
His mother didn't even glance at Yinzuo for his sarcastic remarks. She was feeding her eldest grandson water with a sippy cup. If Yinzuo was just venting his anger by saying a few sarcastic words to his mother, then Fourteenth Prince must have been extremely jealous.
"Yes, mother, are we still your sons? The three of us have been here for quite a while, and you haven't even looked at us brothers. It's okay, but you should pay attention to us."
After Concubine De fed Honghui some water, she patted his back and put him on the ground. She handed the cup in her hand to a palace maid beside her, then looked up at her three grown sons.
"What are you yelling about? Your mother isn't old enough to be hard of hearing, so didn't she hear what I said? Scarcity makes things valuable. I already had three sons like you, but now I only have one grandson, Xiao Honghui. Tell me, who should I cherish more?"
When Defei said this, Yinzhen was fine, but Yinzuo and Fourteenth looked at each other, and then looked at their mother in disbelief. Defei didn't feel guilty at all, and she stared back at her two sons' gazes without fear. The three of them stared at each other for a long time, and in the end, Yinzuo and Fourteenth were defeated.
"Mother is right. Scarcity makes things valuable. Having too many sons naturally makes them worthless. Besides, there's a saying that goes, 'This stomach always hurts downwards, never upwards.' It's only natural that mother cherishes her nephew more. Fourteen, who told us we have such a miserable life? It's all our fault. We can only blame ourselves for not living up to our potential. We've been sons for so long, and we can't pretend to be grandsons anymore."
I have to say that Yinzuo's performance, which included singing, reciting, acting and fighting, was quite brilliant. As soon as he finished speaking, the main hall of Yonghe Palace erupted in laughter. Fourteenth Prince was truly heartless. He was just drinking like a jerk, but now he's slapping his thigh with laughter.
Honghui was still young, and he didn't quite understand why everyone laughed after his sixth uncle finished speaking. But he knew that if everyone was laughing, it meant that everyone was very happy, so the little guy laughed with everyone. After laughing enough, he ran to Yinzuo and showed his two rows of white teeth to his sixth uncle.
"Sixth Uncle, Honghui is pretending to be your grandson."
Yinzuo was stunned by the little guy's words. It took him a while to realize that he was following up on what he had just said. So he raised his hand and patted the little guy's forehead, smiling and saying to him.
"That's not necessary. You don't need to pretend. You are a grandson."
