My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1719 Filial Piety (rolling around asking for monthly tickets)

Kangxi looked at the Fourteenth Prince with an unfathomable expression.

Under his gaze, the Fourteenth Prince closed his mouth.

Several princes also turned around to look at the Fourteenth Prince.

The Fourteenth Prince felt uncomfortable all over.

He didn't mean anything else, he just honestly thought it wasn't that simple.

Kangxi withdrew his gaze and did not ask for the opinions of his other sons.

He looked at the eldest prince and said, "Rules are rules. You are a regular servant, so you must not break the rules!"

The eldest prince lowered his head and responded.

Kangxi looked at the leather wine bag around his waist again, frowned and then relaxed his brows.

It will take time to unravel the source of the rumor and get the answer.

Kangxi was annoyed by his sons standing around him and wanted to send them away.

There was movement at the door.

The prince is coming.

The princes of Chengding had all come before the emperor, and the crown prince couldn't pretend to be ignorant, so he asked a few general questions and then came over.

"Khan Ama..."

The prince greeted his brothers and looked at them in surprise.

The news he heard was that the princes had a conflict with the guards.

That doesn't sound right.

Kangxi glanced at him and said, "You heard about it too?"

The prince hesitated for a moment and said, "Maybe there is some misunderstanding here? Maybe one of the guards was unruly and caused the eldest brother and the fourteenth prince to run into each other and then scold him a few words."

Kangxi did not answer immediately, but looked at the eldest prince and the fourteenth prince again.

The eldest prince still had a stern expression, and the fourteenth prince had his chin lowered to his chest, so his facial expression could not be seen clearly.

Kangxi nodded and said, "Indeed, there are guards who are not disciplined..."

He did not hide it from the prince and briefly explained the reason.

The prince's face flushed, he clenched his fists, and became furious.

This is not only slandering the eldest prince, but also discrediting him as the crown prince!
The things that happened in the kitchen were revealed. If the prince had failed to notice it, he would have been incompetent and was deceived; if the prince had not failed to notice it, he would have been unfilial to his elders.

They also mixed up Soetu's case with that of the Hesheli clan, which not only destroyed his reputation but also cut off his support and foundation.

"Khan Ama, we must investigate thoroughly!"

The prince gritted his teeth.

Kangxi nodded and said, "I have asked Ma Wu to check..."

Seeing that the prince had lost weight and had dark circles under his eyes, Kangxi felt pity for him.

The princes only had a glimpse of the whole picture and could not see the whole picture.

Kangxi also realized that although the hidden arrow seemed to be aimed at the eldest prince, its real intention was actually to target the crown prince.

Thinking of this, Kangxi looked at the eldest prince and then at the fourth prince.

Neither of them could see anything.

However, some of the younger ones had more or less worried expressions on their faces.

Kangxi waved his hand and said, "The Crown Prince stays, and the others go down first..."

Everyone responded and came out of the imperial tent.

The eldest prince frowned and said to the fourteenth prince, "Behave yourself for a few days. Since Khan Ama has said so, you should just stay in your tent and read books for a few more days."

The Fourteenth Prince said aggrievedly: "I am not not learning, I just want to combine work and rest."

The eldest prince was too lazy to lecture him, so he turned to look at the ninth prince and said, "When you speak in front of the emperor from now on, you should know when to stop and avoid mentioning names."

This is also because they are worried that if the Ninth Prince mentions the title of Crown Prince, some unpleasant words may be spread.

The Ninth Prince wanted to refute, but when he saw the Fourteenth Prince's smug look, he stopped talking.

I can't be like the Fourteenth Prince, who knows nothing.

As the older brother, I only have to say a few words.

It's pleasing to the ears but not to the heart.

He shut his mouth and nodded to show that he accepted the instruction.

The eldest prince looked at the fourth prince and said, "I'm sorry that I got you scolded..."

The fourth prince shook his head and said, "It was the villain who did the evil. It has nothing to do with eldest brother."

The eldest prince patted the thirteenth prince on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Always be by Khan's side."

In the past, the emperor was tolerant and his sons felt comfortable having him around; but it is hard to say about the emperor today.

The Thirteenth Prince looked at the Eldest Prince, somewhat bewildered.

Khan Ama only kept the crown prince, not the eldest prince...

Isn’t it the eldest prince who is responsible for today’s unexpected disaster?

The prince is different after all.

The princes returned to their tents with different moods.

In the imperial tent, Kangxi had already asked the prince to sit down and said, "No matter who is stirring up trouble behind the scenes, I will not tolerate it."

The prince smiled bitterly and said, "It was my son's fault that gave these villains room to act."

Kangxi looked at the prince and said, "If it were in the capital, there would be too many people and too many eyes, and there would be omissions. In this industry, there are only a few thousand people in total, so we can always find them out..."

The prince lowered his eyes.

Is the person who is caught the real culprit?
The prince was feeling uneasy...

*
In the Ninth Prince’s tent.

When the Ninth Prince came back, he told He Yuzhu, "Pour some water quickly, my mouth is sour..."

I just ate milk skin mooncake. In order to neutralize the sourness of the milk skin, a lot of sugar was put in it. Now my mouth still has a sweet taste.

He Yuzhu hurriedly poured jasmine black tea for the Ninth Prince.

The Ninth Prince drank it in one gulp, and his mouth felt better.

The Ninth Prince looked unhappy. He was not worried about the Eldest Prince and the Crown Prince, but was a little worried about the Queen Mother.

Once this rumor spreads, the Queen Mother will also be talked about.

People inside and outside the palace couldn't help but speculate that Yuqing Palace was disrespectful to the Empress Dowager.

The Ninth Prince was sulking, and looked at He Yuzhu and asked, "How many tea bags did Fu Jin prepare?"

He Yuzhu brought two boxes over and said, "It's quite a lot. It's enough for me to drink alone for two months."

The Ninth Prince asked him to take it and looked at it carefully.

One box contains brown sugar ginger tea and chrysanthemum and wolfberry tea, and the other box contains jasmine black tea and Pu'er Xiaotuo tea.

The Ninth Prince took the box in front of him and went to the Empress Dowager's tent.

The tea at the end is strong and refreshing, but not suitable for the elderly.

The Empress Dowager also received the news. She knew that the princes had gotten into trouble today and had been summoned by the Emperor, but she did not know the specific reason.

Even though she heard it, she didn't worry too much.

The Emperor is here.

It is common for a father to teach his son.

When the Queen Mother heard that the Ninth Prince was coming, she was a little surprised. She glanced at Nanny Bai and said, "Didn't they say that the First Prince and the Fourteenth Prince were in trouble? And the Ninth Prince is also involved?"

Nanny Bai just listened to the subordinate's reply and shook her head, saying, "I haven't heard that Jiu Ye has anything to do with it."

The Queen Mother said, "Then it must be for some other reason. Please ask the prince to come in."

Nanny Bai responded and went out to welcome the Ninth Prince in.

The Ninth Prince came in holding a tea box that was one foot square. He bowed and said, "Grandmother, your grandson has come to ask for your help..."

The Queen Mother saw that he was not anxious and it was not a serious matter, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Why did you ask me for help?"

The Ninth Prince said, "Didn't your grandson and his wife take the responsibility before, saying that they would bring back good things? But we only stayed in the Wengniute tribe for one day before returning. Your grandson is not familiar with the prince, and there is no time to make arrangements..."

As he said this, he put down the tea box in his hand.

"My grandson just remembered that you have many good things here, such as liquorice from Khorchin, astragalus from Barhu, honey from Bahrain, and buckwheat from Kalaqin. Whatever it is, please give some to me in exchange. Just think of it as my exchange, so that my wife won't think that I am not keeping my word and not being devoted to her."

Seeing his impolite look, the Queen Mother snorted and said, "You are just not sincere. Your wife is so good to you, but you are willing to fool her?"

The Ninth Prince hurriedly shook his head and said, "I'm not kidding, it's because I love you so much that I came to you in such a hurry to beg you."

The Empress Dowager has many Mongolian rituals here, which are the tributes from the Mongolian princes and nobles from various tribes who came to pay homage to her when she was in Rehe.

The Queen Mother thought for a moment and said, "We have licorice and astragalus, but your wife doesn't like that. Let's add dried sand apples and milk skin. The milk skin is good this time and can be preserved. Forget about the beef jerky. It doesn't taste as good as the one you make yourself."

The Ninth Prince nodded and said, "It's all right. The things you have here are all worthless, so they are all good."

The grandparents and grandchildren were having a great time together, and neither of them mentioned the noise in the camp.

It was almost time for dinner, but the Ninth Prince showed no intention of getting up and leaving.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother smiled and instructed Nanny Bai, "I will invite the Ninth Prince to have dinner today. Ask the kitchen to add a dish of fried yellow vegetables and a dish of egg drop seaweed soup."

Nanny Bai went downstairs to pass on the message.

The Ninth Prince smiled and said, "Thanks to you, I haven't eaten eggs for a while."

There is no child who comes out of the palace who doesn’t like to eat eggs.

The Queen Mother joked, "Didn't your wife build you a chicken farm? After all these years, you still haven't had enough?"

The Ninth Prince held out his hand and said with pride, "Not one anymore, but three now. We also have them in the manors in Daxing and Tongzhou. They are not hungry at home. We are going out now, aren't we? Since leaving the capital, we only had one meal in Rehe."

When dinner was served, the Ninth Prince took a close look at the dining table.

Except for the two dishes specifically mentioned by the Empress Dowager, the other sixteen dishes were quite standard and there was nothing wrong with them.

The Ninth Prince picked up clean chopsticks and picked up a piece of egg for the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother said, "You eat your own food, and I will pick up the dishes myself."

The Ninth Prince said, "As long as my grandson is alive, I will always be filial to him."

The Queen Mother looked at him with a loving face and said, "You are all doing well, which is filial piety to your elders..."
