My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1713 Goshawk (rolling around asking for monthly tickets)

Next to the Ninth Prince's carriage, the Ninth Prince got off with the two younger princes.

After sitting for an hour and a half, I couldn't even stretch my arms, legs or feet.

The sky is clear and the autumn grass is lush.

The Ninth Prince looked at the scenery in front of him and calculated the days. It would take another two days to reach the Wengniute tribe.

The Zhaowuda League had a total of eight tribes and eleven banners, among which the Ongniud tribe and the Alukeerchin tribe were both independent.

The former is the territory of the descendants of Genghis Khan's brother Ochigin, the latter is the territory of the descendants of Genghis Khan's brother Habtu Hasar, and the other six are the territories of the descendants of Dayan Khan, the fifteenth generation grandson of Genghis Khan.

For this reason, the Ongniud tribe had no say in the alliance.

The young prince wanted to marry the princess and reclaim wasteland, perhaps in an attempt to improve his circumstances.

Because of the incident with the young deer, the Ninth Prince had a mediocre impression of the young prince and had no interest in Wengniute's trip.

As he thought about it, he looked towards the Fourth Prince's carriage.

The fifteenth and sixteenth princes followed beside him, also looking around.

The Fifteenth Prince said, "We are going down the mountain, and the road is starting to level out."

The Sixteenth Prince said, "I wonder if the Wengniute tribe is far from the Balin tribe..."

Princess Rongxian acted like an elder sister and took good care of her younger brothers when she was in the Rehe Palace.

The Sixteenth Prince was very close to this sister.

The Fifteenth Prince had already learned about the various Mongolian tribes. He thought for a moment and said, "About two hundred miles..."

After hearing this, the Sixteenth Prince felt less expectant.

They had just said goodbye in Rehe. Even if Princess Rongxian submitted a petition to the emperor for an audience, the emperor would most likely not approve it.

Otherwise, there should be news by now.

The Ninth Prince turned around and said to the two of them, "You stay here. I'm going to go check on the Fourth Prince. He's not feeling well. You should stay away from him and don't let him get sick..."

After hearing this, the Fifteenth Prince asked worriedly, "Should we call the imperial physician?"

The Ninth Prince said, "Fourth Brother knows what's going on, we'll see when the time comes."

After giving the instructions, the Ninth Prince went towards the Fourth Prince's carriage.

The Fourth Prince did not get off the car.

Next to the carriage were the Thirteenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince.

The Fourth Prince was talking to the two of them through the carriage curtain.

"It's nothing serious, I just caught a cold..."

The Fourth Prince's voice sounded muffled because of his nose.

Seeing that his face was a little flushed, the Thirteenth Prince felt a little worried and said, "Let's ask the imperial physician to take his pulse..."

The Fourteenth Prince was pleased, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Yes, you should not be afraid to seek medical treatment. There are also Khan Ama and Empress Dowager in the team. You can see clearly, if..."

The Fourteenth Prince paused in the middle of his words.

The Fourth Prince looked at him with a frosty expression.

The Fourteenth Prince felt a little uncomfortable, looked away, and muttered, "You still can't listen to the truth? My honest advice is unpleasant to the ear..."

At this time, the Ninth Prince had already approached. Hearing half of what the Fourteenth Prince said, he was surprised and said, "Huh? Honest words are unpleasant to the ears. What did you say, Fourteenth Prince? If you know it's unpleasant to hear, just say less!"

Seeing that the Ninth Prince knew nothing and was lecturing him, the Fourteenth Prince was not happy and glared at the Ninth Prince, saying, "Ninth Brother, you don't like me and don't let me speak, right?"

We are brothers, so why should we distinguish so clearly between close and distant relatives?
It's really annoying that you are biased towards others without knowing the whole story.

The Ninth Prince scratched his ears and said shamelessly: "What's wrong with my brother saying a few words to you? You just listen, why do you say one sentence and then say three?"

Fourteenth Brother: "..."

The Ninth Prince felt relieved, cleared his throat and said, "I say this for your own good..."

The Fourteenth Prince rolled his eyes and said, "Should I thank you for that?"

The Ninth Prince said proudly: "Of course, this requires knowing the good from the bad!"

The Fourteenth Prince said sarcastically, "Ninth Brother, why don't you look in the mirror and see if you can convince the public..."

"Fourteenth Prince!"

The Fourth Prince scolded in a low voice: "Where are the rules? How can you talk like that?"

The Ninth Prince didn't take it seriously, and waved his hand, saying, "Why should I try to convince the crowd? 'The crowd' has nothing to do with me. If you weren't my brother, I wouldn't even bother to say it!"

The Fourteenth Prince became more and more upset, his face drooping as he angrily said, "You are all good, but I am the bad one, okay!"

Having said that, he didn't even want to pay attention to the Thirteenth Prince and strode away.

It makes people angry.

The Ninth Prince laughed twice and said to the Fourth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince, "This Fourteenth Prince has a bad temper. He is getting worse and worse as he gets older!"

The Fourth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince felt helpless when they saw the Ninth Prince like this.

The Fourth Prince rubbed his brows and said to the Ninth Prince, "Why did you hire him if there was nothing wrong?"

The Thirteenth Prince also advised: "Ninth Brother, Fourteenth Brother is just at the age of caring about his face."

The Ninth Prince spread his hands and said, "Is it unfair? What did I say? As an elder brother, I should teach my younger brother a few words in a gentle manner. What's wrong with that?"

As he spoke, he looked at the Fourth Prince.

The Fourth Prince usually relies on being the elder brother and lectures a lot.

Although the Ninth Prince knew that he meant well, he just didn't want to hear it.

The Fourth Prince felt an itch in his throat and wanted to scold someone.

The Thirteenth Prince saw He Yuzhu holding the jar in his hand and asked, "Ninth Brother, are you here to visit Fourth Brother?"

The Ninth Prince then remembered the important matter and told He Yuzhu to hand the jar to Su Peisheng, and then said: "This is ginger tea. Go ask for hot water and make a bowl of strong ginger tea. Drink it while it's hot and you'll feel better after sweating. I caught a cold a few days ago and I drank this..."

Su Peisheng looked at the Fourth Prince, and saw him nod, then he held the jar and walked towards the temporary tea room.

There are temporary tea rooms in front and behind the team, with drinking water available for everyone.

The Thirteenth Prince also knew that it would be inconvenient to summon the imperial physician at this time, as it would easily alarm the Emperor and the Empress Dowager and make the elders worry.

He said to the Fourth Prince, "Then please take another look. If you are not feeling well, you can't delay any longer in the afternoon."

This place is in the wilderness, and if it is not well maintained, it will get worse. There is not even a palace along the way, and recuperation becomes a problem.

The Fourth Prince nodded and urged the two of them to leave.

"It's okay, you guys can go back too..."

The Ninth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince did not leave immediately. They left only after seeing Su Peisheng bring back the brewed ginger tea.

The Thirteenth Prince whispered, "Ninth Brother, what happened in the kitchen this morning?"

"What's going on in the kitchen?"

The Ninth Prince turned around and asked, "Is everything okay? Isn't it just a fat guy who got beaten?"

The ingredients are not fresh, and they are too salty or too bland?

It shouldn't be a serious offense, otherwise it wouldn't be just a minor punishment.

Thirteenth Brother: "..."

The Ninth Prince saw the Thirteenth Prince's reaction and asked, "Anything else?"

The Thirteenth Prince was worried that he knew nothing and was not on guard, so he whispered to him what he had seen and heard when he set out in the morning.

The Ninth Prince was stunned, and after a while he murmured, "Then...what on earth is going on?"

He had not paid attention to what had happened in the palace earlier.

Since he took charge of the Imperial Household Department in the thirty-seventh year, the Ninth Prince has been aware of all the major and minor events in the palace.

How can someone have such an attack?

Whether it’s beating or punishment, isn’t it the Ministry of Punishment that decides?

It turned out that someone from the imperial court went to supervise the execution, and Liang Jiugong, the deputy chief steward of the Qianqing Palace, went there in person. This was really making a fuss out of nothing!

Then what happened in the kitchen wasn't just a minor offense, it was a big mistake?
"Anyway, you've been hiding from the emperor these past two days..."

The Thirteenth Prince advised in a low voice.

The Ninth Prince nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, okay, I'll stay away from him to avoid the Khan's anger. That would be too unfair!"

The brothers exchanged a few words and then went their separate ways.

The Ninth Prince brought He Yuzhu back to his carriage and saw the Fifteenth Prince and the Sixteenth Prince craning their necks to look.

The Ninth Prince also looked up and saw two eagles circling in the sky.

The Sixteenth Prince noticed that the Ninth Prince had returned, and he took the Ninth Prince's hand and stood on the shaft of the carriage, saying, "It's an eagle, it's so big, and it's flying so high!"

The Ninth Prince said, "If it's not an eagle, what else could it be? The Saker Falcon is not in this area..."

Not only were they watching, but the eldest prince and the fourteenth prince who were not far away were also watching.

The Fourteenth Prince left the Fourth Prince's carriage and went to the Eldest Prince, hoping to get some information.

As a result, after asking a few questions tentatively, the eldest prince didn't respond at all.

When he saw the goshawk circling, the Fourteenth Prince felt itchy and wanted to go back to get his bow, but was afraid of wasting time, so he asked the eldest prince: "Brother, where is your bow?"

The eldest prince had sharp eyes and had already spotted two eagles, one big and one small, hovering in the sky.

They are perched on the cliffs and their voices are shrill.

It looks like the nest was attacked by enemies.

"Brother...brother..."

The Fourteenth Prince saw that the Eldest Prince was distracted, so he pulled him back.

"Do you have a bow? These two goshawks have loud voices and are very strong. I want to try hunting..."

The eldest prince shook his head and said, "There's nothing on the carriage. They're all loaded on the luggage cart."

The Fourteenth Prince frowned and looked back at the Eldest Prince's carriage with some disbelief.

The eldest prince had already opened the leather wine bag hanging around his waist and took a sip.

Two goshawks, one swoops down, the other follows closely behind...
