Chapter 193 Warmth
Chapter 193 Warmth
The Third Prince won the first battle, and Huimin just watched him walk into the trap step by step. Now he is trapped too deep and can't climb out.
As for what happens next, even without Huimin taking any action, the Third Prince will still have a lot of trouble to suffer.
Huimin put this matter aside for the time being and concentrated on preparing dinner for herself and her sons.
Hongyao is not a picky eater. He likes to eat anything delicious, especially sweets.
But Hongxi is different. He prefers meat, and he loves oil and salt. He has a strong taste.
These two sons really take after Huimin. Their mother loves meat, sweet things and delicious food, and the two sons have been the same since they were young.
Thinking of these two children, Huimin couldn't help but smile.
It is almost autumn now, and Huimin needs to prepare some thick clothes for them. She thinks about what she needs to do one by one.
But suddenly, from a distance, Huimin heard the loud child's voice.
"Mother! Mother!"
It’s Hongxi, Huimin looks up.
The sound continued, and Hongxi rushed into Huimin's arms like a calf.
Huimin hugged him and said, "Kid, go slower. Aren't you afraid of falling?"
Huimin gently touched his head, squatted down, and looked Hongxi in the eye.
Hongxi smiled and said, "But Hongxi really wants to see mother soon. Really, really want to."
When Huimin heard him say this, her heart softened.
"Oh, my dear Hongxi, you only know how to make your mother happy all day long."
As she spoke, Huimin picked up Hongxi and shook him.
It's quite heavy, and I feel like I won't be able to hold him soon.
This amount is much heavier than Hongyao's at that time.
Fortunately, it was only a few steps away, and Huimin put Hongxi on a chair.
"When your brother comes back, we'll have dinner."
Hongxi nodded, "Brother, the little bow you gave me last time was really nice. Honghan is so envious."
Huimin also laughed, "This is a reward from your brother for his hard work in riding and archery lessons. Your brother knows that you have always liked these things, so he gave it to you. If it was someone else, he would not be willing to give it away."
After hearing what his mother said, Hongxi raised his little head.
"I am my brother's favorite younger brother, and he is my favorite older brother. We are the closest."
"Hongxi knows that my brother loves me the most."
Seeing her youngest son like this, Huimin smiled and rubbed his head.
"Before, weren't you the one who was most afraid of your brother? Didn't your brother think you were a bad guy because he asked you to recite your lessons every day? Your heart changes so quickly."
Hongxi's face turned red, and his chubby little face looked like a ripe fat peach.
She yelled coquettishly:
"Eniang."
Huimin stopped teasing him and said, "Okay, when your brother comes back, tell him how much you love him."
The mother and son were together. Huimin did some needlework, embroidering a small sachet or something for her son, while Hongxi went to recite some books.
The two of them waited together for Hongyao to finish school.
After waiting for a while, Hongyao came hurriedly.
When he came in, Huimin saw Hongyao's forehead full of sweat.
"Hongyao, why are you so anxious today? What's wrong?"
Unexpectedly, Hongyao didn't care about himself and walked around Huimin a few times, as if he was confirming something.
"Mother, are you okay?"
Huimin was stunned, "Mother is fine, you..."
"Mother, I heard about Third Brother's incident in the upper study. The Emperor scolded him for being disloyal and unfilial, and said he was unworthy of being a son. Moreover, I heard that this matter was handled in Chengqian Palace."
"My son is afraid that my mother will be implicated as well."
Looking at Hongyao who looked like a little adult, Huimin also rubbed her eldest son's head.
"Don't worry, mother is fine. I will tell you about today's matter later."
Hongyao is almost seven years old. There are no children in the palace. Huimin knows that she can't just provide protection, but also needs to let them grow up. So, after Hongyao goes to the study, Huimin will choose to talk to him about some things.
Huimin would definitely not hide this matter from her son.
Of course, this is talking about what happened in Chengqian Palace. The fewer people know about her own layout, the better, so Huimin will not mention it.
Hongyao felt relieved when he saw that Huimin was indeed fine.
"Let's eat first."
As she spoke, Huimin smiled and called Hongxi over.
"Hongxi also said that he loves you as his brother the most, but you are his favorite brother."
Seeing his mother waving at him, the fat boy Hongxi felt a little embarrassed and twisted his butt awkwardly.
"elder brother."
Hongyao was not shy at all and just looked at Hongxi in surprise.
"You like me the most, and I thought you liked Honghan the most."
Hongyao teased.
He had understood certain truths early on, and naturally loved his younger brother the most. He was his biological brother, born of the same mother, and was different from his other brothers.
I didn’t expect Hongxi to do that too... But he seems to just play around with Honghan on weekdays.
Did not expect ah.
When Hongxi heard Hongyao say this, he ran to his brother.
"That's different. Brother is brother, but Honghan is different. Honghan is my good brother."
"Good brother? Do you know what a good brother is?"
Hongyao looked at his younger brother and teased him on purpose.
Hongxi was very confident and he nodded vigorously.
"Yes, Honghan and I are good brothers and good friends. Brother is my brother, and he is different, just like brother and Hongjun, and Hongqing, and the other brothers."
Huimin just watched the two brothers talking. They have always had a good relationship.
Hongyao was a naughty child and a playful and social person when he was outside. But after he had a younger brother, he developed a strong sense of responsibility and control over his younger brother as he grew up.
Hongxi is also a naughty boy, even worse than his brother. Together with a brother who has the same bad taste as him, he and Honghan are always bullying and teasing cats and dogs. He is definitely the little bully of the Forbidden City. Fortunately, Hongyao is there to suppress him.
But the two brothers have had a deep relationship since childhood. The elder brother takes care of the younger brother, and the younger brother complains but is actually obedient. Whenever they are not together, they miss each other.
Huimin was also very relieved by this. What she feared most was that her brothers would turn against each other. They are all made of flesh and blood. If this were the case, who would she side with?
Fortunately.
Seeing them talking incoherently for a long time, Huimin interrupted and said:
"Okay, let's have dinner first. Your brother still has to review his lessons when he gets home."
"Besides, you two must be hungry. Mother is hungry too. We need to eat first."
As she spoke, Huimin picked up a piece of cherry meat first. This dish looked very appetizing.
It tastes good when you take a bite, well, it’s fat but not greasy.
Seeing their mother picking up their chopsticks, Hongyao and Hongxi quickly sat down and picked up their favorite food.
In private, Huimin doesn't like to be served food. Usually, when she and her two children are alone together, she picks up the food herself and eats it.
There is no rule of not talking while eating or sleeping. Even the emperor himself likes to chat while eating.
There are three of them, mother and her two children. Hongyao talked about his experience in the study room, Hongxi talked about what he and Honghan did to play, and Huimin also talked about a new book she had read.
The whole family is enjoying themselves.
