My father-in-law is Kangxi

Seventh Prince has been investigating the palace ladies and nuns for the past 20 years, and now he has found most of them.

The problem is not just one or two, nor is it one or two families involved.

Most of those involved in the latter part are nobles and relatives of the upper three banners, and in the front there are shadows of princes of the lower five banners.

Forbidden City, whose Forbidden City is it?

Kangxi looked at He Concubine and couldn't say anything else.

What will the concubine think?
Will there be resentment?
Do you regret participating in the draft?

He and his concubine were young, but he himself was starting to sunset.

Even though he looked younger than his peers and could deceive others, Kangxi could not deceive himself and others. It was as if he had reached a dividing point, and he was rapidly moving from the prime of life to old age.

Kangxi's expression remained unchanged, but he lost a bit of patience and said: "Take a good rest and don't think too much."

He nodded.

Kangxi got up and returned to Qingxi Bookstore.

Although he only brought his concubine to Changchun Garden this time, there were also some big names in the side room at the back of Qingxi Bookstore, which were originally arranged here.

When the green-headed cards came up, Kangxi picked two familiar surnames and flipped through them.

When the eunuch in the respect room went down, Liang Jiugong breathed a sigh of relief.

It would be a bit scary if the emperor really didn't change his mind and only guarded his concubines. I don't know what will happen in the future.

It's pretty good now.

Everyone likes stability, and no one likes big changes...

*
Shengjia went to Changchun Garden this time and came back in less than half a month.

Because Khalkha Zasaktu Khan brought Wang, Beile and others to the court, Kangxi decided to hold a grand parade in Nanyuan.

Before the official parade, the Eight Banners soldiers will move to Nanyuan.

On the fourth day of the eleventh month, the Holy Emperor returned to the palace from Changchun Garden with the Queen Mother, and on the fifth day of the eleventh month, he went to Nanyuan.

Accompanying the Holy Emperor to Nanyuan were the princes, princes and ministers, as well as the elites of the Eight Banners, preparing for the military parade in a few days.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs also became busy.

The ninth elder brother, along with the twelfth elder brother, Gao Yanzhong, and a dozen other officials, followed Hu Nanyuan directly.

Various materials are also continuously transported to Nanyuan.

Compared with previous years, the palace served more Dongzi dishes this year.

Near the Xiaotangshan Palace in Changping, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has created a total of 96 rooms of Dongzi cuisine.

In early October, when there were only winter vegetables left outside, Dongzifang began to supply leafy vegetables. By November, cucumbers and eggplants were also available.

The Holy Master has arrived at Nanyuan. Since it is only thirty miles away from the capital, he has not arranged for the prince to enter the Nan Study Room.

After the daily question book passes through the cabinet, it will be sent directly to the emperor.

On the day they arrived at Nanyuan, Kangxi led the princes to the school grounds to evaluate their archery skills.

There are more than a dozen bows hanging on the row of poles standing next to it.

There are four-power weak bows, five-power and six-power ordinary bows, and there are also powerful twelve-power bows, fourteen-power bows and sixteen-power bows.

After receiving the order, the princes all put on their riding clothes and came over. They also wore finger rings on their hands and were ready for the shooting exercise.

Brother Jiu stood among the brothers and felt a little regretful.

Even if the military parade is important, even if there are more princes here, it is enough to have the twelfth prince and Gao Yanzhong as retinues. Why should I be diligent?
Wouldn't it be embarrassing?
He looked at Brother Si secretly.

When the time comes, we will be embarrassed together as we are brothers in distress?
You know, there are many clan members watching here.

The fourth elder brother noticed something and turned around to look over. He saw the timid look on the ninth elder brother and gave him a sideways look.

Live it!

Thinking about the ninth elder brother who had been in the branch for three years, he still seemed a bit shameful in his early years and said he wanted to pick up riding and shooting. What was the result?
There is no follow up.

Are you scared now? !
Brother Jiu moved his eyes away and looked up at the sky.

Really, fourth brother has no idea?
The two of them really want to be ranked last, and they themselves are also second to last.

I just can't compete with the stronger ones. If I'm as weak as Fourth Brother, I can just take it down.

Kangxi sat on the bright yellow throne and looked at the princes on the left and right.

Except for the Crown Prince and the Seventh Prince, the remaining adult princes are all here, and there is also an underage Fourteenth Prince hanging on their tails.

Kangxi looked at it again, his eyes fell on the eldest brother, and said: "Let's start with the eldest brother!"

The eldest brother came out in response, went to choose a bow, and took the fourteenth force bow directly.

A target was set up fifty paces away.

The eldest brother shot the first arrow, which was slightly off. Although it hit the target, it was not on the target.
By the second arrow, it hit the bullseye.

The third arrow is also the bullseye.

However, the time between the second arrow and the third arrow was longer. Looking at the tightness of the bow string, you can see that the eldest brother is not that comfortable, and the Fourteen-Strength Bow is a bit reluctant to him.

Kangxi saw this and couldn't help but frown.

The eldest brother's life has been chaotic in the past few years, his archery skills have declined, and his endurance is not as good as the previous two years.

From this point of view, the gap with his younger brothers will become smaller and smaller, and he will no longer be the eldest brother who is brave in martial arts.

Kangxi felt confused and couldn't explain what he felt for a moment.

The eldest brother put down his bow.

Kangxi called him over and said, "You only eat and drink every day and forget about riding and shooting?"

The eldest brother was nonchalant, neither admitting nor denying.

Kangxi frowned and said, "You are the eldest son of the emperor. Since you are the brother of all the princes, you have to decide what to do in the future."

It has been three years since I mourned my deceased wife again.

I also continued Fujin, and I should regain my energy in the future.

The eldest brother did not stay still this time and nodded honestly.

Kangxi waved his hand and told him to go down.

The eldest brother turned around and walked back to his seat.

Kangxi looked at his eldest brother's back and his eyes fell on his braid.

That little bit of frost...

Kangxi looked at it, his heart tightening.

The eldest is 30 years old and middle-aged.

The princes divided the east and west according to the order.

Now that the eldest brother is back, the next one is the third brother standing opposite him.The third elder brother was obviously shocked by the elder brother's "retreat" and looked a little dazed.

When Kangxi saw that he was not moving and looked at him, he hurried out of the queue to choose a bow.

He stood between the fourteen-strength bow and the twelve-strength bow, hesitated for a moment, and chose the twelve-strength bow.

For him, the fourteen-strength bow was a bit difficult, but the three-arrow bow was no problem.

Does it just have to be in the limelight?

Will the emperor be happy if he suppresses his eldest brother?

Dear brother, he has suffered losses several times and does not want to fall into this trap again.

After weighing it, the third elder brother gave up and chose the twelve powers that were more comfortable.

Kangxi showed satisfaction on his face and praised: "Yes, there was no omission in the errand, and there was no delay in riding and shooting."

The third elder brother said: "Khan Amma has ordered the clan to practice shooting every day, so my son dare not slack off."

Kangxi nodded and let him go back.

Afterwards, everyone's eyes turned to the fourth elder brother who was next to the eldest elder brother.

Brother Si's face was tense.

The third elder brother remembered the words of the emperor's father, and he naturally remembered them too.

He chose a decent five-power bow. All three arrows were on the target, but they were not evenly distributed. Only the last one was on the target, and the remaining two were just barely on the target.

When everyone saw him, they didn't look at the target or at Brother Si, for fear of hurting his face.

Only the fourteenth elder brother had drooped corners of his mouth and stared with a straight eyebrow, showing a bit of disdain.

There is also Ninth Brother, who is a little uneasy and not so sure.

The fourth brother didn't choose the four-power bow, so the two of them are going to be tied for last place? !

Somewhat shabby.

Fourth Prince didn't look at everyone's reactions and waited for Kangxi's comments.

Kangxi paused and said, "Shanghao, I look at my hand and it's not raw..."

The ruler is long and the inch is short.

Brother Si's strength was not in riding and shooting, so Kangxi did not force him.

only……

Is Fourth Brother too thin?
This face is long and thin, and the body looks thin.

Kangxi knew that he was serious and diligent in running errands, and said: "When running errands, you should be careful, but your body is more important. Taking care of yourself is a great filial piety."

The fourth elder brother lowered his hand and listened, without making any excuses, and agreed honestly.

When we arrived at the fifth elder brother's place, compared with the fourth elder brother, he was almost two times smaller in size. When he went to choose a bow, the fifth elder brother didn't bother to choose, and just took his commonly used seven-power bow, "swish swish swish" "He completed the shooting exercise and all three arrows hit the bull's-eye.

Kangxi was quite pleased, but looking at the figure of the fifth elder brother, his brows furrowed.

When he was young, he was not as lean and muscular as he is now, but he was not like the fifth elder brother.

Fifth Brother's standing shooting is good, but mounted shooting is useless.

The fifth elder brother saw his dislike and said aggrievedly: "Khan Ama, my son is not lazy. He shoots arrows for half an hour every day. But he was too busy a while ago and couldn't eat well or sleep well, so he got fat. "

He really wanted to say, don't bother yourself when doing errands like going to the South Study Room, but he just murmured in his heart.

He looked at his brothers. There were many adult princes, but when the time came, a few would have to be divided among the retinue, and there were not many options to choose from. As the one who was making up the numbers, he would probably have to continue to make up the numbers.

Seeing this, Kangxi said: "There is no way to gain weight like this. From today on, we are not allowed to eat meat. Let's try it first."

The fifth elder brother was a little unhappy, thinking of the dojos in Prince Jian's Mansion, and said: "Khan Ama, this... you may not be thin even if you are a vegetarian. The monks in the temple do not eat meat, but most of them are fat and big-eared; Taoist priests and Buddhist monks both eat meat, so they don't look bloated and they are more capable."

Kangxi didn't answer and looked at the fifth elder brother.

The fifth elder brother's voice became softer and softer. He didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore and reluctantly accepted the order.

When it came to the eighth prince, he knew that this was not the time to hide his clumsiness.

He has already seen that the emperor's father has no shortage of sons, and he has some sense of doing more work for his sons.

He didn't want to be mediocre among his brothers.

He also took a twelve-power bow, and all three arrows were on the bullseye.

The princes were not surprised by this result.

From the time he went to study, the eighth prince could not be ranked first in civil and martial arts, but he was always in the top three.

He is here again, in his early twenties, the time when he is transitioning from a boy to a young adult, and is full of strength.

Many of the princes who were watching were seeing such a heroic figure as the Eighth Prince for the first time.

After all, the Eighth Prince gave the impression of being elegant and gentle, but he did not expect that his archery skills were so excellent.

No wonder it was said earlier that the Eighth Prince was both civil and military, and he really lived up to his reputation.

It has been mentioned less and less in the past few years, and everyone has forgotten that in addition to being gentle with others, Eighth Prince has other strengths.

Kangxi's eyes passed over the princes who were watching, looked at the eighth prince and said: "Yes, it looks better than when he went to the study."

The eighth prince said humbly: "I dare not forget Khan Amma's teachings. Even though I am away from the study, I still find time to practice archery for half an hour and read for half an hour every time."

Kangxi nodded and said: "Very good, very good..."

He is still the strong eighth prince.

Next……

Kangxi wanted to cross over.

The fourth elder brother had just exposed his shortcomings in front of the clan members, and the ninth elder brother could not hide it anymore.

Everyone looked at Ninth Elder Brother, Ninth Elder Brother had nothing to be shy about.

He is talented even though he is partial, and he is open about his shortcomings.

That's it now. If we talk about the overall strength of the Prince's Mansion, no one is the best at the moment?

He didn't let anyone rush him, he came out openly and took the five-power bow.

What is this?
"Swish, swish, swish", three arrows were shot out happily.

Except for the last one which is outside the bull's-eye, the other two are right in the bull's-eye.

Brother Jiu felt relieved and raised the corners of his mouth.

Second to last, satisfying...

Kangxi saw that his tail was about to rise and wanted to kick him.

Is there anything to be proud of?

Brother Jiu looked at Kangxi as if he was waiting for praise...
