My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1706: Dog Temperament (asking for guaranteed monthly ticket)
The Fourth Prince felt that he was getting old and even remembered his childhood.

One Prince's Palace and three Beile's Palaces.

Now it seems that the brothers are getting along well, but in fact, everyone feels awkward.

There is no way to avoid seeing the Eighth Prince.

But when the territory was demarcated before, the areas were quite large.

Only the regulations for the gate and the middle road are different.

If they were promoted to a higher title, the brothers could rebuild on the spot without having to move to another palace.

Besides, the Ministry of Internal Affairs currently has no vacant palace for them.

If the palace was really vacant, the residences of the eldest and third princes would not have been rebuilt.

The Ninth Prince was counting the days on his fingers.

"Today is the sixth day of the eighth month. Will we celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in Wengniute? I wonder if they eat mooncakes?"

He was bored, so he stretched his neck and looked around the camp.

When leaving Rehe, Prince Wengniute did not follow the team.

I don't know whether he got the news and turned back, or came out hundreds of miles to meet the emperor, and joined him yesterday.

From afar, dozens of riders were seen galloping towards them. They were the Thirteenth Prince and Prince Wengniute who had returned from hunting.

Looking at the spoils of war that the guards were carrying on their horses, there was quite a lot.

The Ninth Prince turned around and said to the Fourth Prince: "The young prince is quite capable. He knows how to curry favor with his uncle..."

The Fourth Prince said proudly: "This is not what should be done!"

In the early years, Mongolia and Manchuria were allies, but now Mongolia is just a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty.

Moreover, due to the Mongolian banner system, the Mongolians south of the desert were divided into pieces, so even being a prince was not a very important status.

Every year, there are dozens of Mongolian princes and nobles who submit petitions to marry princesses and clan daughters. This time, the emperor has shown great grace to the Ongniud tribe. If the prince does not know what is good for him, it will not be his turn.

As the two brothers were talking, the young prince and the Thirteenth Prince came over.

The two men were leading a live calf.

"Fourth Brother, Ninth Brother..."

"Fourth Beile, Ninth Beile..."

The two of them came here to pay their respects to the Fourth Prince and the Ninth Prince.

The Fourth Prince nodded, somewhat surprised to recognize it as a calf.

Because elk usually come out in the morning or at night and are rarely seen during the day.

It's not easy to encounter a herd of elk in the middle of the day.

The Thirteenth Prince smiled and said, "I was thinking of hunting today, so I sent people to find a deer den here yesterday, and drove the deer out directly at noon..."

Prince Wengniute was embarrassed and said, "I thought we would capture more, but the herd is not big and there are few calves."

Only five were caught alive.

Seeing that he didn't understand the key point, the Thirteenth Prince helped to explain.

"One should be presented to the Imperial Grandmother, one to Khan Ama, one to the Crown Prince, one to the eldest brother, and the remaining one is here. Whether to use it as blood or roast it for meat depends on what the fourth and ninth brothers do..."

Prince Wengniute, I'm sorry, I'm just sorry to be here.

As princes with the same title, it would not be appropriate to reduce the rank of the Fourth Prince and the Ninth Prince, but by coincidence, a fawn was missing.

Many adult deer were hunted, but the game smelled fishy and simple processing could not remove the smell, so it was not suitable for nobles to eat.

Prince Wengniute said, "Two fawns are missing. I will go look for them tomorrow."

Although they have not yet reached the territory of the Ongniud tribe, it is not far away, and he should do his best to play the role of a good host.

The Fourth Prince was indeed a little unhappy, but seeing how the Thirteenth Prince was getting along well with Prince Wengniute, he did not seem to be critical and said, "It's no problem..."

The Ninth Prince thought of deer blood, glanced at the Fourth Prince, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Everybody looked over.

The Ninth Prince stopped laughing, cleared his throat, and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Who can eat a whole calf? Half a calf is not too little..."

The Thirteenth Prince knew that the Ninth Prince's moods did not change with his mood, and seeing this, he really didn't care, so he kept the fawn and accompanied Prince Wengniute towards the imperial tent.

Normally, when delivering gifts, one would naturally start from the imperial presence. However, because he wanted to apologize to the Fourth Prince and the Ninth Prince, the young prince chose to come here first.

When the young prince and the Thirteenth Prince were far away, the Ninth Prince looked at the Fourth Prince again and laughed strangely.

"Hahaha……"

The female member who came out of the Fourth Prince's Mansion this time was Li Gege.

This girl was two years older than the Fourth Prince and was one of his earliest princesses. She gave birth to a daughter and two sons. She was famous for being favored and was also a princess whose name was remembered.

I don't know if it was because the Fourth Lady gave birth to a second legitimate son that made Li Gege anxious, or because she was getting older, but this time when she was accompanying the emperor, Li Gege was a little clingy.

Just by looking at the dark circles under the Fourth Prince's eyes, you can tell that he is not idle every night.

After staying at the palace every day, the Fourth Prince would eat at the Ninth Prince's place and didn't want to leave until night.

It looks like he's holding on.

I guess next, he won’t be able to resist asking to stay overnight.

This deer blood can be considered a solution to the urgent problem.

The Fourth Prince was annoyed by the laughter and glared at him, saying, "You are so heartless, you only know how to smile foolishly, you don't even know you are being looked down upon!"

If Prince Wengniute really wanted to be considerate, he could just honor the Queen Mother, the Imperial Court, and the Crown Prince, and the remaining two could be distributed to the other four adult princes.

However, he chose another one.

This is because he knew the situation in the court. The eldest prince and the crown prince were in conflict with each other, and if he didn't offend either of them, then he would offend the other princes below him.

The Ninth Prince saw that the Fourth Prince was unhappy, so he glanced at him with some surprise and asked, "Fourth Brother, are you still fussing about this?"

The Fourth Prince looked at the Ninth Prince and didn't understand: "..."

Why don't you care?!
The Ninth Prince crossed his arms, curled his lips, and said sarcastically: "Khan Ama divided his sons into different levels, and others naturally followed suit. You are used to being the eldest prince and have never been neglected. You don't know the hardships of us younger princes!"

The Fourth Prince was helpless.

"It's fine if someone else says this, but do you feel guilty for saying this? My mother was in charge of the palace in her early years, and then the Crown Princess took over. She only cared about the prince, so who has ever wronged you?"

The Ninth Prince thought back to his childhood when he was still in a daze and had no one to restrain him. He felt that his life was good. Thinking about it now, he understood the real intention.

He thought of the Twelfth Prince again. Seeing the Twelfth Prince being ignored by his father, he felt extremely angry. It was also because he thought of himself and the Tenth Prince back then.

He glared at the Fourth Prince and said, "Am I the stupid son of a landlord? It's good enough for me to have enough food and clothes!"

After saying that, he turned around angrily, swung the curtain with a "click", and went into the tent.

homesick!
I miss Shushu and the children, and also the Tenth Prince.

Fortunately, I married Shushu, and fortunately, the Tenth Prince has a brother like me.

God was kind to these brothers.

The Fourth Prince looked at the still shaking curtain, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

I thought he was grown up, but he turned hostile immediately. He doesn't look like a pig, but more like a dog. His bad temper...

However, the Fourth Prince had no intention of going in to coax people.

He makes fun of his brother's sex life, but I am still annoyed by him. I won't indulge his bad habit.

As for the fawn, the Fourth Prince took a look at it and told Su Peisheng, "Take it to the back and raise it. I will eat vegetarian food for the next two days..."

Whether it is deer blood or deer meat, just save them for now.

Su Peisheng glanced at the Ninth Prince's tent and said, "Fourth Master, what about Ninth Prince..."

The fourth prince said, "Follow me and eat vegetarian food, which will also cleanse your stomach..."

Su Peisheng agreed and took his men to lead the fawn to find a place to put it.

When the bodyguards came out this time, everyone could see that the Fourth Prince and the Ninth Prince had a better relationship than before and were often together.

No one was surprised because both of them were now in the Ministry of Households and spent more time together than other people.

This was also the reason why the Fourth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince were inseparable when the Ninth Prince was not accompanying him.

The Fourth Prince acts like an older brother and takes good care of his younger brothers.

As a result, the two quarreled...

The campsite is this big and the tents are not far apart.

The news that the two brothers seemed to have fallen out spread throughout the camp around dinner time.

Even the Queen Mother heard it.

The old grandmother was worried.

The Fourth Prince has always been sour and likes to scold people, while the Ninth Prince is a person who will not tolerate any injustice. The Empress Dowager is afraid that the two brothers will get into a stalemate and cause displeasure in the Imperial Court.

Now there is a Mongolian prince in the team, and it is not good to make the "family disgrace" public.

It's a pity that now that Shushu is not around, there is no one to comfort him.

The Queen Mother pointed at the two dishes on the table and said to Nanny Bai, "Give the sesame eggs to the Fourth Prince, and the cumin mutton to the Ninth Prince. Tell them not to quarrel and be nice to each other..."

Nanny Bai responded, packed two dishes into a lunch box, and went to the prince's residence.

She first went to the Fourth Prince's tent.

The Fourth Prince's tent was empty; he was not there.

Nanny Bai was puzzled and asked the guard at the door, "Did the Fourth Prince go to Li Gege's place?"

The tent for the female entourage was right behind the prince's tent, but it was very short.

The guard said, "Our master is in Master Jiu's tent."

Upon hearing this, Nanny Bai felt relieved and went to the Ninth Prince's tent nearby.

In the Ninth Prince’s tent.

The dining table was set and the two brothers were seated.

Looking at the table full of vegetarian dishes, the Ninth Prince couldn't help but check if there were any blisters at the corners of the Fourth Prince's mouth.

Is this caused by getting angry?
Tsk tsk, it's not easy for a man who can't do what he wants...
