Chapter 170 Family
Hongyao took Xitala to Chengqian Palace, while Hongjun and Madam Shen were going to Qixiang Palace, which was not on their way.
Hongyao waved to his brother and made an appointment to play together next time.
Hongjun watched his brother leave happily, and returned to Qixiang Palace with Madam Shen.
When Hongyao arrived at Chengqian Palace, he ran to his mother in a hurry. He also knew that his mother had been waiting for him for a long time.
Hongyao is very dependent on his mother. He thinks his mother loves him just as much as he does.
So he was eager to let Huimin meet Xitala.
"Mother, mother, I'm back with Guo Luo's mother!"
Huimin stood in front of the gate of Chengqian Palace with her bulging belly, waiting for Hongyao with a smile on her face.
Huimin felt even happier when she saw Hongyao and Xitala.
"Mother, you are tired from the journey. Come in and rest first."
Huimin avoided Xitala's greeting and let Xitala help her into the hall.
Hongyao was like a little sparrow, flying here and looking there.
He was extremely happy with his mother and Guo Luo's mother.
He could feel that his mother was truly happy.
After entering the inner room, Xitala watched Huimin sit down first before she sat down herself.
Xitala was still holding Hongyao together.
It had been a long time since Xitala saw her eldest grandson, and it was a rare opportunity for her to have a good time with him.
With Hongyao here, Xitala and Huimin naturally wouldn't talk about any private matters, as he is still too young.
Moreover, since they had just met, Huimin still wanted to talk more with her mother about family matters and chat about daily life.
The person I care about most, of course, is my younger brother E Rong'an.
This boy, E Rong'an, is determined to make progress and become a support for his sister. Now he works hard every day.
Huimin was afraid that he would ruin his health.
When this matter was mentioned, Xitala smiled and said:
"You're the only one who can control this brat. Every time you mention you, he gets excited and does everything with enthusiasm."
As she spoke, Xitala began to laugh.
"It's not that mother said anything about him. This child is determined to pass the imperial examination. There are many ways for us Manchus to become officials. With the grace of his father, I wanted to fill a vacancy for him as a guard. Unexpectedly, this kid is ambitious and wants to pass the imperial examination."
"He."
Xitala smiled helplessly.
However, Huimin supported her brother and said to her mother:
"Let E Rong'an do whatever he wants, but..."
Huimin also laughed, "It seems that my love for him over the years was not in vain, and he still remembers his sister."
Huimin and Xitala were chatting, and whenever they mentioned E Rong'an, they laughed continuously.
This caused Hongyao to look at his mother frequently.
"uncle?"
When Huimin heard her son's question, she also looked at Hongyao.
When Huimin saw Hongyao's face, she smiled even more happily.
"When you were born, mother thought you looked like your uncle. Now that I see you like this, you really look alike."
Xitala also remembered that Huimin had complained that the newborn Hongyao was ugly and said that the child looked like his uncle, and she laughed.
"Our Hongyao is much more handsome than his uncle."
When Hongyao heard this, he said:
"My uncle is good-looking."
Hongyao also knew this uncle, who was his mother's older brother, and often gave him some new toys. For example, the set of Western building blocks that he liked very much was given to him by his uncle E Rongan.
Hongyao likes this interesting uncle very much.
Moreover, Hongyao thinks that his uncle is handsome, and many palace maids say that his uncle is handsome.
After hearing this, Huimin began to take her brother's appearance seriously.
E Rong'an has grown up in the past few years, and the fourteen-year-old boy already looks like a little adult.
As for her appearance, to be honest, she is quite good.
Although E Rong'an is the younger brother, he is very reliable. To Huimin, he has the obedience of a younger brother and the care of an older brother.
He loves his little nephew even more.
As she thought about it, Huimin thought of E Rong'an's marriage.
"In two years, E Rong'an should be settled. I wonder which princess has your eye on? Does E Rong'an have a crush on any princess?"
Xitala was helpless about this matter. "E Rong'an is not interested in this at all. Your father meant to slowly choose. Other things are secondary. The character must be good. After all, she is the eldest daughter-in-law."
"E Rong'an means to follow my arrangements. He doesn't care at all."
"This child..."
Speaking of this, Xitala sighed repeatedly.
"Forget it, there's no rush. Just wait and see. I'll send you a letter when the time comes. Please check it carefully."
Huimin agreed.
As she spoke, Xitala looked at Huimin's belly.
"How is the pregnancy going? Is the baby making you uncomfortable?"
When this was mentioned, Huimin patted her stomach lightly.
"This is a troublemaker. Hongyao was very sensible at that time. When I was pregnant with Hongyao, I didn't have morning sickness or anything. But this one has a bad temper. He vomited for three months. It took a lot of effort to stop vomiting during this period."
"It can be seen that this kid is a troublemaker."
When Hongyao heard his mother praising him, he raised his chin with pride.
But when he heard that his unborn brother and sister were making trouble for their mother, he became unhappy and said hurriedly:
"Bad boy, dare to bully my mother, watch me punish him."
Seeing Hongyao’s angry look, Huimin held him in her arms.
"Our Hongyao is still the best."
Xitala also looked at Hongyao with satisfaction.
Hongyao also echoed:
"I am a boy, Baturu. My uncle said that I must protect my mother and defeat the bad guys."
Is it E Rongan?
Huimin was stunned, then hugged Hongyao even tighter.
Seeing how close Hongyao and Huimin were, Xitala felt relieved.
Children of the royal family are different from those of ordinary families. Even mother and child may not have a good relationship. Xitala has always been worried about this, but seeing how Hongyao and her daughter get along, Xitala feels relieved.
Thinking about this, Xitala suddenly remembered and said to Huimin:
"I just talked about these things and forgot that there are more important things."
As she spoke, Xitala looked at Hongyao.
"Prince Hongyao is still young, so it's too early for him to consider leaving the palace and building a mansion, but these ten years will pass quickly. From now on, money will be needed everywhere."
As she spoke, Xitala took out a box.
"Take these first. You will need more silver in the palace."
"You don't have to worry about anything else. When the prince gets married, your father will save money for him. When he leaves the palace and builds a mansion, he will also give him a portion. There will also be a box of silver for dowry. If you are short of money in the future, your family will make up for it for you and Hongyao."
Having said this, Xitala started to count the accounts again, from the favors that Hongyao had to ask for in order to do his job, to the money that would be spent on supporting a large family.
After hearing my mother's calculation, Hongyao is really a four-legged money-eating beast.
If all this was borne by my father and mother, the Xilin Gioro family would be bleeding heavily every day.
However, Huimin naturally could not rely entirely on his family. This child is the emperor's own son, and it is all his responsibility.
As for leaving the palace and building a mansion?
Huimin smiled faintly and said nothing.
