My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1733 Agitation

At noon the next day, the memorials from several princes requesting a welcoming ceremony for the emperor were sent back to the capital.

The Third Prince looked at the red-inked edict and tried hard not to laugh out loud.

Khan Ama is not in the capital, but he still has a sharp eye and knows who is doing the real work.

The Fifth Prince and the Tenth Prince are just there to make up the numbers!

Of the four princes who were on duty in the Southern Study, only two were appointed to welcome the emperor.

That's decent.

Hahahaha...

But... Old Seven...

A barking dog never bites, and the Seventh Prince keeps a low profile, but the Third Prince pays special attention to his younger brother.

If you offend others, you offend them, but if you offend Lao Qi, you never know when you will be retaliated against.

He has been disabled since childhood and his behavior is extreme, but he has become more honest in recent years and it is not obvious.

The Third Prince coughed lightly, handed the memorial to the Seventh Prince, and said, "The Emperor is staying in Miyun County today and will arrive in Shunyi tomorrow. Should we set off in the afternoon, or should we get up early tomorrow morning?"

The Seventh Prince took it and read it. His face showed no emotion. He said after careful consideration, "Let's do it tomorrow morning. The emperor will arrive in Shunyi in the afternoon. We should leave in the morning. We will have plenty of time."

After saying this, he looked at the Fifth Prince and the Tenth Prince.

The Fifth Prince frowned, looking at the two stacks of test papers on the table, and said, "Then only the Tenth Prince and I are left. What should we do if we can't finish reading the test papers by noon tomorrow?"

The Seventh Prince did not answer and looked at the Third Prince.

The Third Prince looked at the Tenth Prince and said, "Tenth Brother, what do you think?"

The Tenth Prince thought for a moment and said, "The emperor will arrive in Beijing in a few days. So we should pick out the most important questions from the questionnaire sent out at noon tomorrow. We can look at the others in the afternoon. It won't delay us much."

The third prince nodded and said, "This is also a solution. Khan Ama will understand."

Seeing that there was a way to deal with it, the Fifth Prince relaxed his frown and said, "That's good, don't delay the important matter..."

The Third Prince picked up another memorial, which was from the Eighth Prince.

Wow, Lao Ba really made the right bet!
Khan Ama finally softened his heart and let Lao Ba do the dirty work to make up for his previous mistake.

This is a signal that the Eighth Prince is about to return to the court.

The Third Prince did not want to delay any longer and arranged for someone to send him to the Eighth Prince's Mansion.

When the Eighth Prince saw the word "approved" on the memorial, he looked a little dazed.

What a surprise.

When he submitted the memorial to greet the emperor and request a welcome, he did not expect to be granted a request. He was just looking for an opportunity to show up in front of the emperor so that his father would not forget that he was still idle.

He looked at the person who came to deliver the memorial, and it was the eunuch beside the Third Prince.

This is not the secretary of the Southern Study, but the Third Prince's man.

The Eighth Prince asked, "Third Brother sent you to deliver this. Do you have any other instructions?"

The eunuch bowed and said, "The emperor has also ordered our master and the Seventh Master to welcome him. Our master and the Seventh Master will meet at Anding Gate tomorrow morning and set off at 11:00 a.m. to the Shunyi Palace..."

The Eighth Prince nodded and said, "I understand. Tell the Third Brother and I will join them at that time."

The Third Prince sent the eunuch to deliver the message for this very purpose.

The three princes are coming to welcome the emperor, so they can't be divided into two groups.

He is the older brother, so if people talk about him, it will be his fault.

The eunuch took the tea bag and went back to report.

The Eighth Prince couldn't sit still and paced in the study.

Before I stopped my job, I had worked in the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Works. Which government office would I be assigned to next?
He himself couldn't guess it.

No matter where I go, as long as I go to a ministry, I will learn government affairs and have more contacts with officials...

The news that the emperor would return spread throughout the capital that day along with the letter welcoming him.

The news was also received at the Ninth Prince's Mansion.

It was the Fifth Prince who sent someone to tell this.

Shushu calculated the time and said to Mrs. Bo, "It's only a few days away, but I missed my birthday. What a birthday!"

Although young people don’t celebrate birthdays, the whole birthday is different.

Mrs. Bo said, "You want to have a lively time? Wait until your birthday and set up a few tables of wine..."

Shushu shook her head and said, "I don't like entertaining guests, I just want to have fun with my family."

It’s okay for a small banquet, but for a serious birthday party or something like that, there will be a lot of people who need to send invitations.

It won’t be a hassle to welcome and see off people when the time comes.

It was just a small banquet like the one we hosted for Miss Zhang Si a few days ago. There were only a few people and it wasn’t that tiring.

Mrs. Bo said, "You can be lazy these few years, but when Fengsheng and the others grow up, there will be many more days when we need to hold banquets."

Shushu calculated the time.

It was fifteen years later, in the 56th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi, when Fengsheng and his wife got married.

By that time, even if the dust has settled, it will be almost done, and it won't be a problem.

Shu Shu nodded and said, "I can enjoy a moment of peace and quiet..."

It has been a month since we separated from Rehe.

Shushu really missed the Ninth Prince.

The birthday gift was reserved for the Ninth Prince. Shushu decided to wait for the Ninth Prince to come back and give him a bowl of longevity noodles...

Habits are terrible things.

It has been four years and two months since her wedding in July of 1948, and Shushu has already gotten used to married life.

And because she had three children, the love was passed down.

In the past, Shushu could confidently put her parents and brothers before her husband and children, but now she can't do it.

She can regard her parents as important as her children, but she is more accommodating to her brothers than to her children.

Now my mother's home has really become my mother's home, and my home is the Prince's Mansion...

*
East of Miyun County, outside the imperial palace.

When the Ninth Prince got off the carriage, his face was flushed.

He handed the vest in his hand to He Yuzhu with anxiety.

Wear too much.

It was cold in the mornings and evenings in the frontier area, so I wore more clothes.

After entering the Pass, we were in the mountains and the climate was cold.

Once you leave the mountainous area, you can feel the severity of the autumn heat.

The Ninth Prince said to He Yuzhu, "I am so dizzy from the cover. I will go to the palace to get some water first. I am sweating all over..."

He Yuzhu agreed and went to the water room of the palace without delay.

The Thirteenth Prince was riding over. Seeing that the Ninth Prince looked unhappy, he dismounted and asked, "Ninth Brother, are you okay?"

The Ninth Prince unbuttoned two buttons of his clothes, opened his collar, and said, "It's okay, I just forgot to take off my clothes."

The Thirteenth Prince was riding a horse, wearing more clothes, and listening to the Ninth Prince talking, he also felt dry all over.

He looked up at the sky. It was clear blue and the sun was high in the sky.

When we returned from the Wengniute tribe, it was all frost over there and there were snowflakes on the road. It was winter straight away, and now it feels like a proper autumn.

The next day, not only did the Ninth Prince change into lighter clothes, but the other princes also changed out of their thick clothes.

The Fourteenth Prince had originally been riding in a carriage, but seeing that the autumn weather was clear and neither too cold nor too hot, he started riding a horse.

He either followed the eldest prince or the thirteenth prince, and occasionally went to talk to the fourth prince, and seemed much more well-behaved.

I don’t know what other people thought, but the Ninth Prince saw it through the curtain and curled his lips.

I hope the Fourteenth Prince will pretend to be more honest in the future. Otherwise, when the Fourteenth Prince starts working next year, there’s no telling when they might get together. Then he won’t tolerate the Fourteenth Prince.

The Fourteenth Prince was riding a horse at this time, riding side by side with the Fourth Prince.

The Fourth Prince had a solemn expression on his face, as he was thinking about the royal reception.

The Third Prince and the Eighth Prince were fine, as they each had their own reasons, so the Seventh Prince was also passed on.

Is there any follow-up to the case involving Soetu?
In the capital, even if the Eighth Prince volunteered, he would not be the one who was truly responsible.

As for the Ministry of Punishment, the Emperor's father would not easily allow the prince to interfere.

Seeing that he ignored him, the Fourteenth Prince turned his head away and rolled his eyes.

Brothers, you think you can leave yourself aside and cling to the prince. What a wishful thinking!
Thinking of this, he smiled and said to the Fourth Prince, "I haven't seen Honghui for half a year. I really miss him. Honghui is not bad. He is not the best among the emperor's grandchildren in civil and military studies, but his grades are also among the best..."

The Fourth Prince glanced at him and let him talk without responding.

The Fourteenth Prince went on to say, "When Hongxi was here, he was outstanding in both civil and military studies. Without him in the upper study room, there was no leader, and Hongjin was really not up to par..."

The Fourth Prince also had some understanding of the study situation of several imperial grandchildren in the Shangshufang.

Completely different from what they were back then.

When they were studying, they studied hard and diligently, fearing that they would fall behind in their studies and be scolded by their father.

The six imperial grandchildren now all seem to have shortcomings.

If Honghui had not been told to hide his shortcomings appropriately, he would have been the first one to do so.

The Fourth Prince thought so, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, looking somewhat complacent.

It is well known that Hong Jin of Yuqing Palace is dull in talent.

Hongyu of the Prince of Zhi's Mansion is an unfilial father and is in frail health.

Hongqing from Prince Cheng's Mansion is an average student and a crybaby.

Hongsheng, the fifth prince, followed the fifth prince and had a headache when reading.

Hong Shu from the Seventh Prince's Mansion has no obvious weaknesses, but his status is far inferior to that of his other cousins, and he has no confidence.

Honghui has no obvious weaknesses, and is better at both literary and martial arts than himself when he was a child.

The Fourth Prince's eyes were somewhat deep.

Khan Ama is very energetic. If he can live as long as Taizu, then in addition to choosing a prince, he may also choose a grandson...

The Fourteenth Prince and the Fourth Prince stand side by side, and on the other side are the Eldest Prince and the Thirteenth Prince.

Both of these brothers are clear-headed and have different stances.

However, the eldest prince had a good impression of his younger brother, the Thirteenth Prince. Thinking about his own situation, he couldn't help but give a word of advice, saying: "In addition to your own future, you also have to protect your mother and two sisters. If you encounter any problems, you should protect yourself first..."

The Thirteenth Prince did not expect the First Prince to say this. He was a little surprised and looked at the First Prince and said, "Big Brother..."

The eldest prince did not look at the thirteenth prince, but only looked at both sides of the road and said, "The weather is cold as soon as it is said. Even if it warms up for a few days, it will be different after all..."

The Thirteenth Prince knew that he didn't want to say more, so he shut his mouth and didn't ask any more questions.

But he also understood what the eldest prince meant.

Being too close to the prince means being at the center of the turmoil and easily becoming affected.

The Thirteenth Prince clenched the whip in his hand.

Prince...

Can you survive until you ascend the throne?

If something unexpected happens, what will happen to him, the prince's right-hand man designated by his father?
Thirteenth Prince's heart sank.

In front of the Shunyi Palace, several princes and the minister in charge of the imperial guards had already been waiting to welcome the emperor.

From afar, watching the smoke rising.

The Eighth Prince stood beside the Third Prince's right hand, feeling somewhat agitated...
