My father-in-law is Kangxi

However, thinking that the eighth prince had also been "recuperating" for several months, Kangxi still nodded and asked people to tell the eighth prince to come in.

His expression was indifferent, but he wanted to hear what the eighth prince had to say.

Admit your mistake?

Please excuse me?

I've been like this since I was a child. It's just rhetoric and flirting. I don't think I'm really wrong.

At this moment, the eighth prince has come in.

The father and son only met once in the past few months, which was the Wanshou Festival. The eighth prince came with the princes to celebrate his birthday, but there were many people at the time and they did not speak.

Now they are face to face, only about ten steps apart, but they are a little more unfamiliar.

The eighth prince noticed Kangxi's gaze, took off his hat, and knelt down to salute.

When Kangxi saw it, he was heartbroken.

This kind of grand ceremony would be done during the Chinese New Year to pay respects, or to express respect to the superiors, or... to offer sacrifices...

Kangxi breathed out and suppressed his anger.

The eighth prince didn't know that he had violated a taboo, but he could also see that Kangxi looked unkind.

"Khan Ama, my son has come to ask for forgiveness. He cannot teach Fujin well, cannot be friendly to his brothers, and has no filial piety towards Khan Ama, Hui E Niang and E Niang..."

After the eighth prince kowtowed, he raised his head, his face full of regret.

Kangxi looked at him and sneered: "It's not in vain, I finally have some self-awareness!"

The eighth prince's face turned pale and he smiled bitterly: "If my son doesn't reflect on himself, he will become a fool..."

Normally, Kangxi would teach earnestly, but now he just felt irritated and said: "Are you confused? When talking about Babeile outside, people only praise it? Even the elder brothers from Prince Yu's Palace and Prince Gong's Palace are like you. Make friends with cousins..."

The Eighth Prince was silent for a while, and then said: "We met at dinner these past few days, and we said a few words..."

Seeing him like this, Kangxi became even more angry and asked: "Tell me, who are you?"

The eighth prince raised his head, with a look of surprise and confusion on his face, and said: "Khan Ama..."

Kangxi remembered that the eighth prince had been respectful to the brothers Prince An in recent years like a son-in-law. He couldn't suppress his anger. He picked up the tea cup and threw it in front of the eighth prince.

The porcelain pieces splashed everywhere, holding the tea, and soaked the eighth prince's lapel.

The eighth prince was stunned.

"You are my prince. Apart from me and the prince, no one can be more noble than the prince's brother!"

Kangxi said in a cold voice: "I pointed out Guo Luoluo to you to make you the prince's son-in-law, not the prince's son-in-law! When you humble yourself in front of King An, where do you put this Khan Ama?" land?"

My bald brother is as honorable as Prince Heshuo.

Even if he is a knighted prince, he cannot be judged by his clan title.

Ninth Prince, a bald prince, did not bow down to Prince Zhuang's Palace or Prince Xinjun's Palace, that was why.

When Kangxi proposed marriage at that time, he had already thought of letting the eighth prince fly the Zhenglan flag. He wanted the eighth prince to find an opportunity to take over the flag affairs, not to make him an affiliate of Prince Anjun's palace.

This reversal of priorities was a joke to the clan!

The eighth prince looked pale and looked at Kangxi and said: "Khan Ama, son... son..."

For a moment, he didn't know how to defend himself.

He really respects King An, because he has an orderly relationship between elder and younger, and he regards King An as his "father-in-law".

You must know that Manchuria values ​​foreign relatives. Prince An is both Ba Fujin’s uncle and Ba Fujin’s adoptive father. They have dual identities. Is it wrong to be respectful and courteous when Ba Age, the nephew’s son-in-law, and his adopted son-in-law get along with each other?

When news of the early marriage came out, there was talk of "a child raising a son-in-law". After all, Prince An's palace was simmering in flames at that time, and the brothers were either county princes or Baylor.

The eighth prince is just a younger brother born from a concubine.

Even his biological mother's concubine was named a concubine only after the emperor's father had a tacit understanding with Prince Lao'an.

This is also the reason why Baozhu is proud in front of him.

The eighth prince retorted and felt discouraged.

Seeing him like this, Kangxi said: "Can't you explain yourself? Aren't you quite capable of explaining?"

The eighth prince clenched his fists, with a look of confusion on his face, and said: "Khan Ama, Prince An...is not an ordinary clan member, he is the natal family of his son Fujin. Is it wrong to be respectful to my son?"

Except for the prince and the fourth elder brother, who lost their father-in-law early, do the other princes display the prince's elder brother's genealogy in front of his father-in-law?

Kangxi looked at the eighth prince, feeling tired, and said: "Before you became the prince's nephew and son-in-law, you were a prince first! With so many princes and sons-in-law, who dares to call them here and there? People must respect themselves. , and future generations will take it seriously!”

Whether it is the eldest brother's father-in-law or the prince's father-in-law, when he meets his son-in-law, doesn't he say hello or kowtow?

The eighth prince's face "fluttered" and turned red.

Ming Mian's face was hot, but his heart was cold.

Kangxi looked at his eighth elder brother and thought of himself.

When he was sent out of the palace to avoid acne, E Niang was just a concubine, and the relationship between father and son was weak. If the Empress Dowager hadn't insisted on following Sanqi, Emperor Shizu would have chosen his heir among his cousins.

Even if the later Emperor Shizu was persuaded and agreed to establish a prince, he would just pick up the slack.

At that time, Emperor Shizu had four sons, all of whom were concubines.

Prince Yu was born with an eye disease in his left eye, and his two younger brothers were younger. He became the first emperor to inherit the throne as a concubine prince. At that time, the royal family also criticized him due to his family background.

But do you feel guilty?

The old Manchu customs should have been abandoned.

Starting from Emperor Taizong, the pattern of the Eight Banners' political discussions was not the same.

The regulations of the Eight Banners are constantly changing.

He is a prince, and even if he is a concubine prince, his status is more noble than that of the royal prince.

It took him more than thirty years to prove this point, but the eighth prince made himself a joke again.

The son is unworthy of his father!

Seeing that the eighth prince was still not enlightened, Kangxi lost his patience. He just looked at the eighth prince and said calmly: "If you don't understand, don't think about it. Remember your identity. You are the prince of the current dynasty, not some prince." My concubine brother, you don’t need humility and kindness!”

If you don't understand his royal father's feelings towards the clan, you should know what is good.

The eighth prince bowed his head to the ground and said solemnly: "Shay Khan Amma taught me, my son... I have recorded it..."

Coming out of Qingxi Bookstore, Ba Age's steps were a little heavy.

His identity is a prince, but there are so many princes...

Others have confidence in the clan princes, but what is your own confidence?

*

Until he arrived at the gate of Ba Beile Mansion, Ba Age didn't even think about it.

He had thought of himself as a smart person since he was young, but now he felt that he was a fool and his mind was in disarray.

He stood at the gate and looked to the west and then to the east.

Four princes' mansions were connected in a row, occupying this street.

The tenth prince is the last in the prologue, but because of his mother's superiority, he was first granted the title of Prince of Duoluo County.

The remaining three have to calculate their merits before they can be crowned Baylor for the first time.

The most noble person between the royal father and the prince is not the prince, but the tenth elder brother, the Duke of Dun!

They are both princes, even if they have the same title, they are still different in the eyes of the world.

After sitting in the study for half a day, he asked someone to watch him from the front.

When the fourth elder brother came back at dusk, the eighth elder brother got the news.

"Fourth brother, my younger brother has a problem and I want to ask fourth brother for advice..."

The eighth elder brother looked at the fourth elder brother as if looking at a life-saving straw.

The fourth elder brother got off his horse, looked at the eighth elder brother and said, "Are you going to the imperial court?"

The eighth elder brother nodded and said in a low voice: "I was scolded by Khan Amma, but my younger brother is getting more and more confused. I don't know who to ask, so I just want to talk to my fourth brother."

The fourth elder brother didn't want to see his younger brother so depressed, so he ordered Su Peisheng: "Tell Fujin that I will go over and talk to the eighth master. I will come back later. Let Fujin eat first, don't wait for me."

Su Peisheng responded and sent a letter to Sibeile Mansion.

The fourth prince threw the whip to the guard and followed the eighth prince into the Babel Mansion.

The eighth elder brother was a little stunned when he thought about the fourth elder brother's reaction just now.

Is the relationship between Si Age and Si Fujin so good?

If you come home late, you have to send someone back to tell you?

He looked at Brother Si with some disbelief.

Now that I live outside, less news from each government is exposed. In the early years when I was in the palace, the news from each elder brother was not hidden from anyone.

In the eighth prince's impression, the fourth prince and the fourth prince treated each other as if they were guests, but they actually liked each other more.

Brother Si saw that he had a different look on his face and said, "What's wrong?"

The eighth elder brother thought about the second son of Sibeile Mansion and said, "The fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law have such a good relationship..."

The fourth elder brother looked at the eighth elder brother and said: "It is the right thing to cultivate one's morality and manage the family..."

The two brothers sat in the study, and the eighth elder brother explained the "teaching" given by the emperor today.

Brother Si listened carefully, with a solemn expression.

The imperial father's tolerance for the clan became less and less, and he became less and less patient with his son.

He looked at the eighth prince and said: "Khan Ama doesn't like you to have too close contact with Prince Anjun's palace, so you just obey the orders. You don't have to think too much. The royal relatives are close but not close..."

The eighth prince didn't nod and said: "Prince Ke'an is not only my brother's in-law, but also the prince of our banner..."

Even those who are not sociable like the Ninth Elder Brother and the Tenth Elder Brother. They have to entertain the princes of their own banners even if they are given a title. How can they be so eye-catching if they are doing favors on their own and being close to the Prince of An County?

Fourth elder brother lowered his head and was speechless.

What other reasons could there be?

That's Prince Anjun's Mansion!

The late Yue Le was the successor candidate mentioned by Emperor Shizu!

That's the only reason!

Which emperor can tolerate this?
