My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1734 Alertness
Kangxi got off the imperial carriage.

The three princes who came to welcome the emperor have led everyone to kneel and welcome the emperor.

All the bodyguards also knelt down.

Between heaven and earth, there is only one person who stands alone.

Kangxi raised his head, glanced at his three sons, raised his arm and said, "Get up!"

Everyone then began to express their gratitude, and surrounded the emperor, entering the palace and waiting outside to see him.

The Ninth Prince was also standing among the crowd and couldn't help but look at the Third Prince and the Eighth Prince.

The princes were divided into two columns.

One row is the princes who accompany him, headed by the Crown Prince, followed by the eldest prince, the fourth prince, the ninth prince and the thirteenth prince.

One row was the princes who came to welcome the emperor, headed by the Third Prince, followed by the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince.

The Third Prince looks like an older prince. Although he hasn't grown a beard yet, he looks very mature and dignified due to his age.

Eighth Prince...

He lowered his head and looked amiable, no longer the kind of person who always smiled at everyone he met, nor was he the kind of person who wore loose clothes and looked skinny.

Seeing that the Eighth Prince had noticed something, the Ninth Prince quickly looked away and looked at the Seventh Prince.

The Seventh Prince reacted quickly and looked at the Ninth Prince.

The Ninth Prince smiled brilliantly and made a bowing gesture.

The brothers have not seen each other for several months, and they should have embraced each other and paid their respects to each other, but now they are waiting in line to see the emperor, and it is not the time to exchange pleasantries, so they can only express their gratitude.

The Seventh Prince nodded slightly as a return gesture.

The Ninth Prince then stood up straight and behaved himself.

Among his older brothers, he disliked some, was close to some, but he only respected this seventh brother very much.

Born with disabilities and a member of the royal family, the Seventh Prince's childhood experiences were pitiful and lamentable.

What is rare is that the Seventh Prince did not complain about himself, but instead became self-reliant and turned the situation around.

Capable person.

The Ninth Prince has nothing but admiration.

But he and Lao Shi had no way to reverse the situation and could only go with the flow.

After about two quarters of an hour, Liang Jiugong came out and said to the Third Prince and the others, "The Emperor has ordered that the Prince and the two Beiles come to see him."

The Third Prince and others responded and followed Liang Jiugong inside.

The rest of the people continued to wait.

The Ninth Prince looked back and saw only the Thirteenth Prince.

Fortunately, the young masters don’t have to take turns, otherwise I don’t know how long I will have to stand.

Seeing him looking around, the Thirteenth Prince whispered, "Are you tired, Ninth Brother? Just bear with it a little longer. After Khan Ama has seen the Third Brother and the others, he will tell us to disperse."

The Ninth Prince shook his head and said, "I'm not tired from sitting in the car all the time, but the sun is blinding my eyes."

It is now noon, the time of the day when the sun is the brightest.

The Thirteenth Prince whispered, "I haven't heard anything about what happened in the capital recently, but it should be quick."

The Ninth Prince nodded, he felt the same way.

In the palace, Kangxi changed into casual clothes, sat on the kang, and looked at his sons.

The Third Prince had admiration in his eyes, and the Eighth Prince did not hide his excitement. Only the Seventh Prince looked normal.

Kangxi lowered his eyes, glanced at the Seventh Prince's legs, pointed to the chair next to him, and said, "Sit down and talk!"

The three of them sat down.

The third prince turned around, looked at Kangxi, and said with concern: "Khan Ama has lost weight..."

Kangxi's expression eased slightly, and he looked at the Third Prince, carefully examining him, and said, "You have lost a lot of weight, but is your job hard?"

The Third Prince shook his head and said, "It's not hard, it's just that my son was greedy during the festival and ate a few cold crabs, which made his stomach empty for a few days..."

Hearing this, Kangxi's mouth twitched.

Is it greed?

It's stingy!
You're reluctant to throw away the crabs that stayed overnight, it's your own fault!

The news from the capital could not be concealed from Kangxi.

When Kangxi saw the reason why the Third Prince was sick, he wanted to kick him.

He is already a prince, but he still acts so stingy and unbecoming.

But the Third Prince did not delay his work. Even though he had diarrhea the next day, Kangxi did not want to expose the matter to scold his son. He just said, "You are so old, but you still don't know how to take care of your body. If it happens again, don't take any work anymore. Go back and take care of yourself!"

The Third Prince stood up and said, "My son will never dare to do that again."

After he took his seat, Kangxi looked at the Seventh Prince.

This son is both sentimental and cold-hearted. Kangxi asked, "Shang Efu has become the Minister of the Imperial Guard. Have you met him in the palace? Does he seem to be in good health?"

This is Shang Zhilong, the father of Prince Chun's wife and the consort of Princess Heshun.

Although the Seventh Prince was not officially married to Prince Chunjing, he still regarded Prince Chun's wife as his adoptive mother, who could be considered a legitimate elder.

The Seventh Prince stood up and replied, "I met him once after the Mid-Autumn Festival. He seemed to be in good spirits..."

Kangxi nodded and looked at the Eighth Prince, feeling not so good.

When Shang Zhilong was appointed as the Minister of the Imperial Guard, no one thought about anything else. He only thought that he had been in the position of Minister for more than ten years and was a royal relative. He forgot that he also had a son-in-law who was the younger brother of Prince An.

The position of the Minister of the Imperial Guard is extremely important, so we should pay attention to Shang Zhilong's schedule in the future.

The Eighth Prince felt nervous, knowing that it was his turn to be questioned, and wondered what the questions would be.

Kangxi pondered for a moment and asked, "Have the other members of the Hesheli family submitted a petition to apologize?"

The Eighth Prince bowed and said, "Yes, I have submitted three memorials, saying that I was foolish and that I was unworthy of my late father's merits, and asked for the death penalty."

Kangxi's face darkened.

Xinyu deliberately killed his family members and was stripped of his title, so he should not be sentenced to death.

Xinyu's move was just a retreat to advance, deliberately reminding the emperor of Sony's contribution.

Does Sony have any credit?

As a subject, he influenced the fate of the throne; facing Oboi's dictatorship, he simply cowered to protect himself, totally disregarding the will of Emperor Taizu.

Thinking of the cautious days when he ascended the throne at a young age, Kangxi felt angry.

With so many noble ladies from the upper three banners, why did the throne fall to the Hesheli family?
Mingzhu's legitimate daughter and Ebilun's legitimate daughter both failed to be selected.

The queen was chosen to be the concubine of Sony's eldest son, which attracted the attention of the royal family.

It was just that the imperial power was unstable and the four regents each had their own selfish motives, forcing the royal family to use the position of the queen to arrange marriage in order to protect themselves.

In the past, when Kangxi thought of Empress Yuan, he only remembered the love and affection between him and his first wife. But in recent years, knowing what the Hesheli family had done, Kangxi felt particularly complicated when he thought of Empress Yuan.

By this year, when Kangxi learned that Soetu had hidden money, his last bit of mourning for Empress Yuan disappeared.

He sneered and said, "You are quite self-aware!"

The Eighth Prince listened and was secretly delighted.

The case of the Hesheli family was put on hold, waiting for the emperor to return.

Is this a severe punishment?
The prince's dignity would be completely destroyed.

After Kangxi finished talking to his three sons, he looked up at the window.

He knew that the prince and others were waiting outside for an audience.

But he didn't want to see it.

He said to the Third Prince, "Kneel down, call Maska in, and everyone else go away!"

The Third Prince responded and took the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince away.

After leaving the main hall, the Third Prince felt refreshed and said to Maska, "Your Majesty, please come to see Lord Ma."

Maska bowed and responded, then entered the main hall.

The Third Prince then said to the Crown Prince respectfully, "Prince, Khan Ama asked everyone to disperse."

The prince nodded, ignored the others, just glanced at the Fourth Prince, and left.

The Fourth Prince bowed quickly, but his heart sank.

He knew that Fourteenth Prince's rogue tactics had worked.

The prince has always been arrogant and does not hide his likes and dislikes.

He doesn't like the Fourteenth Prince.

The reason why he didn't vent his anger on himself because he knew that he was not close to him.

But in the past two days, the Fourteenth Prince has been acting like a spoiled child, following him around whenever he has nothing to do, and it is obvious that he has caught the prince's eye.

The prince's arrogance prevented him from showing any kindness to himself after he knew that he had a close relationship with the Fourteenth Prince.

The Ninth Prince was standing behind the Fourth Prince and saw everything.

Seeing that the prince was far away, he asked in a low voice: "Fourth brother, does the prince look unhappy?"

There are so many people around and it’s hard to say anything.

The Fourth Prince looked at the Ninth Prince and said, "It's probably because of the fatigue from the journey!"

The Ninth Prince also knew that this was not the right time to talk, so he didn't ask any more questions.

The Third Prince was talking to the First Prince, and was surprised to see the Fourth Prince and the Ninth Prince whispering to each other. He asked the First Prince, "Why do these two seem to be getting closer? With the Fourth Prince's temper and the Ninth Prince's sour face, they haven't fallen out yet?"

The eldest prince said, "What nonsense are you talking about? The fourth prince really acts like a big brother, and the ninth prince is also obedient."

The Third Prince bared his teeth and said, "Are you talking about the Fourth and Ninth Princes?"

The eldest prince rolled his eyes at the third prince and said, "You are also an elder brother. If you want to say something bad about your younger brother, do it in front of the fourth and ninth princes!"

The Third Prince waved his hands and said, "I am just concerned about you. Isn't it because the Ninth Prince is willful and hard to appease? That's what I am wondering..."

At this moment, the Eighth Prince had already walked to the Fourth Prince and greeted him warmly: "Fourth Brother, before leaving today, I went to see Honghui. Honghui knew that Fourth Brother was going back to Beijing and was very happy..."

The Fourth Prince had originally greeted him with a smile, but after listening to the Eighth Prince's words, he inexplicably felt irritated.

He thought of the Fourteenth Prince.

The Fourteenth Prince mentioned Honghui, and the Eighth Prince also mentioned Honghui.

Both of them are uncles, and when they mention their nephew, they speak in a familiar way, intending to bring him closer to themselves.

But because of these two people, the Fourth Prince did not feel happy, and he became more alert.

If you can see the qualifications of the emperor's grandson, others can see it too.

But everyone's attention is on the prince, and no one has paid attention to the grandson.

The Eighth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince began to pay attention to the Emperor's grandson...
