My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1717: Peace (rolling around asking for monthly tickets)

There was laughter and joy in the yard.

When they saw Shushu coming, the three children surrounded her and became very close to her.

Children are forgetful.

After Shushu's company over the past few days, the three children have forgotten that they were abandoned by their parents and have become good and sticky children again.

"Ene, Ene..."

Niguzhu stopped playing with the windmill and came over to hug Shushu's legs.

Fengsheng and Akdan also came over and looked up at Shushu.

Shushu only had two hands, and couldn't hold on with three children, so she just went over to help Mrs. Bo.

"This is a scene of great uproar. One person is as noisy as ten..."

Shu Shu said.

Mrs. Bo laughed and said, "All children are like this. You also ran around the mansion when you were a child."

He has been very smart since he was young and behaves like a little adult. He knows whose personality he takes after, Fengsheng or Akdan.

The remaining one is Niguzhu, who not only looks like his father, but also has the same innocent character as the Ninth Prince.

Because Shushu was heavy, Mrs. Bo was afraid that she would get tired, so she asked everyone to go into the house.

The yard fell silent.

Next door is the west wing of the Eighth Prince's Mansion.

The Eighth Lady sat on the chair, looking up at the sky. The smile on her lips gradually flattened.

At this time, there was a movement at the gate of the yard. It was Fucha who came.

Behind her were a dozen little maids, all of whom were selected from bondservant families and were little maids who had just grown their hair.

This was after Prince An's wife had talked about choosing a person for the Eighth Lady last time. She got the Eighth Prince's consent and chose someone from among the bondservants.

I did not choose those who were too young, as they were not able to serve others; nor did I choose those who were old, as they would not become arrogant.

"Fujinan..."

Fucha entered the yard, looked at the seated Eighth Lady, and knelt down to greet her in a proper manner.

The Eighth Lady looked at her.

Whether in front of others or behind their backs, Fu Cha was like a ruler and never broke the rules.

This is a smart man, which makes my stupidity in the past few years even more obvious.

Unfortunately, I realized it too late.

The Eighth Lady couldn't bear it anymore, so she raised her hand and said, "Get up..."

Fucha stood up, pointed at the little maids behind her, and mentioned what Princess An's wife had said last time.

This also explains the reason for selecting people, and it is not that she is meddling in placing people there.

The Eighth Lady looked over and saw that they were all undersized maids with braids and wearing green half-length jackets.

The Eighth Lady was also impatient to watch and turned to look at Fucha.

"If they are children of respectable families, there is no need to send them to me, so that they don't feel reluctant and feel wronged afterwards. If there are poor children who are without parents and have a hard time at home, you can send them here to make up the number..."

What she originally wanted was an adopted daughter, not a little girl.

But the answer was what Princess An's wife told Fucha.

The Eighth Lady was losing interest, but she didn't chase the man away directly because she felt sympathy for Fucha.

The year when Fu Cha first entered the mansion, the Eighth Lady felt like she was facing a formidable enemy, so she had to make some inquiries to get to know herself and the enemy.

Although Fucha was born out of wedlock, she was raised by her stepmother and asked for grace to be exempted from the selection process, so she was supposed to marry back into her stepmother's family.

The uncle and aunt over there also held their eldest niece in high esteem.

Just look at Ma Qi's prosperity. With such a supportive family, Fu Cha's future will not be bad.

As a result, she became the prince's concubine...

The Eighth Lady glanced at Fu Cha's waist and abdomen covertly.

The Eighth Prince had wronged her, so she retaliated in kind and took revenge without any reservations. Fu Cha was the innocent victim.

Fucha noticed that the Eighth Lady was feeling discouraged and also felt that she was calm towards herself.

Fu Cha was also in a complicated mood, but she didn't want to get involved, so she agreed honestly and pointed to two of the thinner maids.

"These two girls are not very related. One lost her biological mother and was not tolerated by her stepmother, so she was sent here by her uncle's family. The other lost her father and her aunt was mean, so her grandmother came here to ask for mercy."

This time when the Eighth Lady was selecting people, these two little girls were just there to make up the numbers and they didn't look as respectable as the others.

Fu Cha originally planned to just go through the motions and stay in her own East Courtyard as a maid doing odd jobs.

I didn't expect that the Eighth Lady would choose people in this way this time, so there is no need to find someone else.

The Eighth Lady looked at the two maids. Not only were they thinner than the other maids, they also looked timid.

Just one glance and the two little girls started trembling like little frozen chickens.

The Eighth Lady looked away, looked at Fu Cha, and said, "You are a kind-hearted person..."

It’s a pity that good people don’t get rewarded.

Entering the Eighth Prince's Mansion, although it may seem like a life of wealth and glory, the result is loneliness and widowership.

Fu Cha said hurriedly: "These two girls are lucky. In the future, they will serve Fu Jin and be protected by Fu Jin. They don't have to live such a miserable life anymore..."

A group of people came and went, leaving behind two little girls.

Fu Cha took the remaining people and left the west wing.

From beginning to end, the Eighth Lady did not ask the Eighth Prince a single word.

Fu Cha didn't know whether this change was good or not.

She thought about the guests coming today and sighed in her heart...

Front yard, living room.

Prince An had an unhappy expression on his face, and he looked at the Eighth Prince with great dissatisfaction.

"Eighth Master is always smart, he is not a short-sighted person, this time he acted too rashly..."

He had no feelings for his uncle Soetu, but the Hesheli family was his outsider family after all.

This time, it also involved the inspection of the Hesheli family's cemetery, and the person who volunteered was his nephew-in-law, which was also a slap in the face of Prince An.

The Eighth Prince sighed, looked around, and said, "Uncle, if I stay indoors any longer, I won't be among the next princes to be promoted. One step slow, every step slow."

There is no war now, so if you want to accumulate merit, you can only do so by doing the job.

If you don't do your job, how can you get any credit?

The key point is that the Tenth Prince has started to serve in the Southern Study.

If I don't come out now, there will be no more vacancies for me to assist in government affairs in Beijing.

"My brother is upset..."

Prince An knew that he had always been strong-willed. Thinking about his situation in recent years, he knew how difficult it was for him.

The Eighth Prince laughed at himself and said, "At the end of last year, my father awarded blue armor to the emperor. Among the adult princes, I was the only one who was not eligible to participate. The Ninth Prince has already entered the court. If I don't take the initiative, my father Khan, with so many sons, won't think of me..."

Between father and son, someone always has to bow his head first.

Just like the relationship between the Emperor's father and Prince Yu and Prince Gong, no one bowed their heads, and the two princes remained silent for more than ten years.

Things are rare.

The emperor has only one brother and one younger brother, and even if there is any grudge between them, they will still be given the proper respect.

There are not just two princes, and the seniority ranking is about to reach the twentieth prince.

At this point, Prince An could only say: "Since you have made your choice, just don't regret it. You will inevitably be gossiped about in the next few years."

However, the Eighth Prince witnessed the fickleness of the world and the fickleness of human nature.

He said: "If I had a respectable reputation in front of the emperor, accumulated merits early, and was crowned king along with my brothers, then others would have been respectful to me. It is because I have lost the emperor's favor that I am despised and gossiped about behind my back."

Prince An thought about it and realized that this was indeed the truth.

He said, "Let's not talk about anything else. After this incident, the Crown Prince will be in trouble, and the eldest prince may not think well of you. You have to be aware of this."

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, the Eighth Prince is also a member of the "Great Thousand Years Party", and others will regard his actions as being in line with the eldest prince's wishes.

The Eighth Prince nodded and said, "Thank you for reminding me, uncle. I saved it."

The Crown Prince was arrogant and never considered him a brother; as for the eldest prince, he was only friendly to him on the surface.

As long as the emperor is willing to use him and give him a chance, he doesn't mind offending those two.

Two dogs fight, play off.

There are many fishermen, but there are only two snipe and clams...

Beyond the Great Wall, traveling.

The Ninth Prince looked at the milk-skin mooncakes in front of him and said to the Fourth Prince with a smile, "This is a recipe from our mansion. My wife made it and presented it to the Empress Dowager!"

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the old lady should be in a good mood, so she ordered people to make milk skin mooncakes.

There were some rumors before, saying that the Queen Mother was annoyed with the Prince and was depressed, but they were probably all false.

Otherwise, the Queen Mother would not have the interest to ask someone to cook.

The Fourth Prince was also holding half a milk skin mooncake in his hand and was eating it bite by bite.

The mooncake skin is extremely thin and is filled with filling.

The milk skin tastes ordinary, but it has a strong milky aroma after being baked.

At this moment, someone nearby yelled, "You slave, what are you talking about..."
