My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1720: Fortunately (rolling around asking for monthly tickets)

The grandparents and grandchildren had their meal together.

The Ninth Prince drank a cup of chrysanthemum and wolfberry tea with him, and when he saw that it was time to light the lamps, he said goodbye and left.

Because she was accompanied by someone, the Queen Mother ate half a bowl of rice more than usual.

After the Ninth Prince left, the Queen Mother got up and took a walk. She smiled and said to Nanny Bai, "This is what Shushu taught us. How wonderful it is for you two young ladies. You miss me, and I miss you."

Nanny Bai echoed, "Yes, Ninth Lady is blessed."

The Queen Mother said, "The Emperor's marriage proposal is good. The two are a perfect match."

One is smart and patient, the other is sincere and listens to advice without being arrogant.

If she were replaced by someone more pretentious, Shushu would also be a qualified prince's wife, but she wouldn't take it so seriously.

Nanny Bai thought of the Fifth Prince and the Fifth Lady and sighed in her heart.

If you say that women become arrogant because they read too much, the Ninth Lady is also well-read.

Fortunately, the Fifth Lady has given birth to a legitimate son, and Princess Liu made a mistake. Otherwise, the Fifth Prince's Mansion would have a hard time living in peace in the future...

The Ninth Prince returned to his tent.

He Yuzhu lit the lamp, brought over a basin of water, and helped the Ninth Prince soak his feet.

The Ninth Prince thought about the dead atmosphere in the Empress Dowager's tent and the right and wrong that happened in the kitchen this time, and he couldn't help but sigh heavily.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

He Yuzhu was sitting on a small stool, taking off the boots for the Ninth Prince. Hearing the noise, he asked with concern, "Did you not like the dinner? Do you want another bowl of fried noodles to fill your stomach?"

Just now I went to the Empress Dowager's tent, and He Yuzhu was waiting outside, so I had no idea what was going on inside.

However, he thought that the Queen Mother was old and her food preferences might be different from those of his master, so he was worried that he had not eaten enough.

The Ninth Prince shook his head and said, "I ate half a plate of yellow vegetables. I'm full..."

He Yuzhu saw that his face was still gloomy, and asked, "Why are you unhappy?"

The Ninth Prince let out a sigh and said, "I am a little scared. Fortunately, my wife gave birth to Fengsheng and the other three. Otherwise, I really don't know what will happen in the future..."

Look at the Empress Dowager, no matter how rich and glorious she is, her life still seems a little unreal.

This is because of my mother, the Empress Dowager.

If it were the Virgin Queen Mother, the people under her would not dare to fool the old lady like this even if they wanted to curry favor with the Crown Prince.

But due to her status as the Queen Mother, she couldn't get angry about this matter and could only pretend she didn't know.

It’s suffocating just to think about it.

Think about Prince Chun’s wife again. How many of the prince’s wife and the princess’ daughter still remember her now?

He Yuzhu said: "My master is lucky to have married a concubine, and she is also lucky to have given birth to three little masters. Now the little prince is coming too. Three legitimate sons is unique in the royal family..."

After hearing this, the Ninth Prince looked at He Yuzhu and said with a smile, "You have a sharp eye. The concubine hasn't even given birth yet, how did you know it was a little prince and not a little princess?"

"The wife was diagnosed with pregnancy in Rehe. I secretly guess that the master and the wife are still looking forward to the little prince..."

He Yuzhu said.

Just look at the princesses who came to the court to see that each of them had her own difficulties.

The master and his wife, as the younger brother and his wife, couldn't bear it, let alone being the father and the nephew.

The Ninth Prince nodded and said, "Yes, if a little prince is born, everyone will be happy. If a little princess is born, even if she is born in Kalaqin, it is still hundreds of miles away from the capital, and it will make people happy..."

The next day, when Kangxi was having breakfast, he learned that the Ninth Prince had accompanied the Empress Dowager for dinner the previous day.

As soon as he thought about it, he knew the reason and said to Liang Jiugong: "Ninth Prince has a bad temper, but he is filial. That's his only advantage!"

Liang Jiugong said: "It's all because of the good teachings of the Emperor and the Empress. Not only is the Ninth Master filial, but the Fifth Master is also famous for his filial piety."

When Kangxi thought of Concubine Yi, a smile appeared on his face.

Although Concubine Yi was somewhat competitive, she had a righteous heart. She was kind to her adopted daughter and son, and was also lenient to the concubines in the harem.

The Fifth Prince and the Ninth Prince each have their shortcomings, but they are both sincere people.

Concubine Hui is calm and generous, and the eldest prince also has the demeanor of an older brother.

Concubine De...

Kangxi stopped laughing.

Even the Ninth Prince, who was a grandson, was thinking of asking Youzi to accompany the Empress Dowager, but Concubine De did nothing.

If Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi were the escorts, this would never happen.

When the emperor went on a tour, he brought the concubine with him. In addition to asking her to take care of the younger concubines, her main purpose was to serve the empress dowager.

Finally, what did Defei do?

She did nothing.

Hepin and Minpin also sat in the main seats, but because Defei was in front, it was not their turn to get close to the empress dowager.

It was okay when he was young, even if he was stubborn he wouldn't show it, he was mostly submissive. But as he got older he became more and more paranoid.

Kangxi thought of the Fourth Lady who had no escort this time, and the Fourteenth Prince who had been running around among the princes these days with ulterior motives. He couldn't help shaking his head and said, "No matter how good a child is, if he is spoiled blindly, he will be spoiled."

Liang Jiugong didn't dare to respond as he heard the tone of voice sounded strange.

Kangxi did not allow him to play dumb, and looked at him and said, "You listened to what the Fourteenth Prince said yesterday. Tell me... was he going after the Crown Prince?"

The Ninth Prince said this in advance because he was worried that someone would deliberately frame the Crown Prince and sow discord between him and the Eldest Prince.

When it came to the Fourteenth Prince, he denied the Ninth Prince's words and shifted the suspicion back to the Crown Prince.

Liang Jiugong felt his scalp tingling.

Fourteenth Prince, you are narrow-minded.

Even though what was said in front of the emperor would not be easily leaked, there was a grudge between the Fourteenth Prince and the Crown Prince, so it would not be appropriate for him to say anything deep or shallow.

Seeing Kangxi looking at him, he could only say vaguely: "I can't tell how the Fourteenth Master treats the Crown Prince, but it seems that... the Fourteenth Master seems to have less respect for the Ninth Master..."

Not only did he refute the Ninth Prince's guess in class, but he also implied that the Ninth Prince was not smart.

As a younger brother, you shouldn't treat your older brother like this.

The Fifth Prince is not smart either, but the princes below him only respect him in front of others and behind their backs.

Kangxi was in deep thought.

The Fourteenth Prince not only showed little respect to the Ninth Prince, but was also unkind to the Crown Prince.

It is obvious that the Fourteenth Prince should feel guilty towards the Crown Prince, but looking at the Fourteenth Prince's expression, he seems to want to turn the tables.

The Fourteenth Prince's closeness to the Eldest Prince has other intentions as well.

Although he is young, he is very smart.

Is this a pair of brothers?

Kangxi's face turned cold.

Another high-minded...

*
The emperor broke camp and continued his journey towards the capital.

The Ninth Prince was yawning and sitting in the carriage, feeling bored.

He drew aside the curtain of the carriage and saw Erhe riding a horse.

Erhe also saw the Ninth Prince's actions, reined in his horse and moved closer to the carriage, saying, "My Lord..."

The Ninth Prince originally wanted to ask Fushan for the confessions of the two guards when he was resting, but he hesitated and shut up again.

It's better to wait for news. It's taboo to ask actively.

This time when he went out with the bodyguard and was given instructions by the Fourth Prince, the Ninth Prince felt that he had made progress.

Besides, knowing that the emperor was furious, he didn't want to confront him.

He changed his tone and said, "Your eldest princess has also turned one year old. You should hurry up and return to the capital this time. You can have a little boy to grow up with the third prince."

Erhe and Princess Guizhen gave birth to a daughter in July last year, who is now two years old.

Originally, the master and servant had agreed that if a eldest son was born, he would serve as a companion to the Fengsheng brothers in the future. However, it turned out that the baby was a princess, so they could only hope for this time.

When Erhe mentioned his wife and daughter, he smiled and nodded, saying, "I will definitely work hard. It's all thanks to you and Mrs. Fujin that my bamboos are now in separate pots..."

When Erhe separated from the family and moved to the courtyard behind the prince's mansion, Shushu and the Ninth Prince gave them a pot of Guanyin bamboo as a housewarming gift.

The Ninth Prince thought of those bamboos and couldn't help but grin, "How many bamboos are there in Hongluo Temple? As a result, those people in the capital sold thousands of bamboos under the name of Guanyin bamboo!"

In other words, he was too proud to earn this much money.

Otherwise, he would have had hundreds or eighty pots of bamboo from the greenhouse in Changping, and those were the authentic Guanyin bamboos from Hongluo Temple.

Erhe said: "Anyone who knows knows that they are 'fakes'. Hongluo Temple is a royal temple. Apart from the master and the fifth master, no one else dares to dig bamboo openly."

By the time the Fifth Prince had finished digging, the emperor was alarmed.

The abbot of Hongluo Temple had to submit a memorial to the emperor and mention the matter of the bamboo in Hongluo Temple.

If you don't take care of the bamboo forest that has been grown for a hundred years, it will become bald.

It was only after Kangxi wrote a handwritten edict prohibiting the digging of bamboo that the bamboo forest was saved.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The Ninth Prince couldn't help laughing when he recalled the Fifth Prince sending bamboos everywhere that year.

It can be seen that sometimes we should not be too pretentious. We should be willing to give up our face, and if we are willing to give up our face, we will get benefits.

After that big distribution, there was good news from many princes’ palaces.

Even the portion presented to the emperor seemed to be very effective.

The fifth brother seems to be a wise man who appears foolish.

Knowing that the bamboo there would be in great demand, they dug out everyone's share.

The eldest prince was not beside the imperial carriage this time. He followed the fourth prince in the back to provide support, and was right in front of the ninth prince's carriage.

Hearing the Ninth Prince's laughter, the Eldest Prince looked back and saw the Ninth Prince sticking half of his head out, talking and laughing with a guard.

The Fourth Prince also looked back.

The entire team was very silent, and the Ninth Prince's laughter seemed a little abrupt.

Next to the prince's carriage in front, a guard was also looking back.

The Fourth Prince was still hesitating whether or not to go over and give them a reminder.

The eldest prince had already turned his head, with a smile on his face, and said: "I really envy the ninth brother, who is happy all day long..."

With their current status, as long as they can think positively, they will live a good life.

The reason why you feel that life is difficult is mainly because you are unable to get over it.

The fourth prince paused and said, "It's too noisy. Fortunately, it's far away from the imperial carriage, otherwise Khan Ama would scold it again."

The eldest prince said: "It's just a joke, it's nothing."

The eldest prince did not pay attention to the identity of the guard, but the fourth prince knew that the person who was talking to the ninth prince was Erhe, the son of Fushan, the minister of the imperial guards, and he was worried that the ninth prince would ask around for information.

When it was time to rest halfway, the Fourth Prince paid attention to the movements of the Ninth Prince.

If the Ninth Prince sent Erhe to get information, he would stop him.

Seeing that Erhe was staying beside the carriage and not approaching the imperial guards, the Fourth Prince finally breathed a sigh of relief...
