My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1783 Don’t stop

The Fourth Prince noticed the gazes of several people and looked back, only to see the Eighth Prince with a puzzled expression.

He nodded slightly.

It seemed that no one was left out and Khan Ama scolded everyone, but everyone could hear that some were more severe than others.

The Eighth Prince was not the one who was scolded the harshest, so it was not considered a loss of face.

Kangxi cursed for a while, and finally felt relieved. He looked at his sons and said, "Behave yourself and behave properly tomorrow. Don't mess around like this again!"

Everyone agreed in unison.

Kangxi waved his hand and said, "Kneel down and pay your respects!"

Everyone responded and came out.

The Ninth Prince rushed directly to the Fourth Prince and said bluntly, "It was obviously my idea, but Fourth Prince took away my good job. I have enjoyed half a day of leisure today, and you have to give me two more deer tomorrow!"

The Fourth Prince looked at him and said, "Isn't this a win? Why are you still fussing over this?"

The Ninth Prince curled his lips and said, "It's not worth it to win. It's so cold, and I have to work so hard to avoid losing face!"

At this point, he remembered his promise to distribute the half-year salary he had received.

At that time, he was calculating against his team of hunters and horses.

Later, Yaerjiang'a also brought a group of people to hunt.

The Ninth Prince turned around and said, "Brother Wang, Tenth Brother, I promised in the hunting grounds that if we win this hunting match, I will distribute my half-year salary. Should it be distributed among the more than 60 people or the more than 120 people?"

Yaerjiang'a was also a wealthy man, but he knew the rules and their rewards could not go beyond the emperor's.

Yaerjianga said, "Let's not divide it among 60 people, or even 120 people, let's divide it among 200 people. Khan Ama will give us half a year's salary, and the three of us can pool some of it and give us three months' salary, so that everyone can get a share of the spoils."

The Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince had no objection.

Baotai, the Seventh Prince and the Thirteenth Prince looked at each other in silence.

The brothers from the Plain White Banner group were able to "add icing on the cake", but they from the Plain Yellow Banner group were unable to "provide timely assistance".

That is the punishment that the emperor will impose.

All those involved will be fined one month's salary.

Compared to the rewards, it seems very little.

But this is really embarrassing.

The Thirteenth Prince regretted, "I was not well prepared. If the defense was tighter, we would have been able to fight."

Baotai also said: "It's my fault too. When I saw that it was my third brother's troops coming to seize the camp and that their numbers were greater than the defenders, I was the first to back down."

The Seventh Prince glanced at the two of them and said to the Thirteenth Prince, "What's past is past. Let's wait and see tomorrow..."

After hearing this, the Thirteenth Prince was immediately excited and said, "Yes, there is also the one tomorrow!"

Losing once is nothing, but losing consecutively is a problem of ability.

As for Baotai, the Seventh Prince did not preach, but comforted him: "It's because you just took charge of the flag. You just need to take charge of the flag a few more times in the future, and you will be more thoughtful."

Bao Tai nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I will be more careful next time."

When the three brothers arrived at the Bordered Yellow Banner.

The eldest prince and the eighth prince both looked at the third prince.

Should the Third Prince be blamed?

It doesn't seem to be surprising.

The third prince lost his camp, but he also unexpectedly captured another camp.

One inside and one outside are level.

On the contrary, the eldest prince's attack on the camp was not very good, and the eighth prince's hunting was also careless.

The Eighth Prince asked, "If we don't count the prey snatched away by the Plain White Banner, who would win?"

At that time he was thinking of relying on luck, but there was also some strength involved.

He felt that his strength was not inferior to that of the Ninth Prince and Baotai.

Just then, the imperial guards who had gone to the hunting ground to count the results came back, and the eldest prince stopped them and asked directly, "How was the hunting result?"

The guard said, "The White Banner captured the most, fifty-seven elks, ninety-five red deer, sixty-nine deer, thirty-three roe deer, twenty-five musk deer, twelve foxes, one hundred and eighteen hares, forty-seven pheasants..."

The scoring is still divided into big beasts, medium beasts, and small beasts, with big beasts getting three points, medium beasts getting two points, and small beasts getting one point.

Everyone gathered together and listened quietly as the paddock statistics were being taken.

"The next largest group was the Zhenghuang Banner, with 30 elks, 66 red deer, 37 deer, 27 roe deer, 17 musk deer, 8 foxes, 74 hares, and 42 pheasants..."

"The Bordered Yellow Banner had the least, with 22 deer, 12 roe deer, 9 musk deer, 6 foxes, 53 hares, and a dozen pheasants...

The Seventh Prince, the Thirteenth Prince and Baotai gritted their teeth after hearing this.

There were neither elk nor red deer from the Bordered Yellow Banner. Needless to say, they were taken away by the people from the Plain White Banner.

If it weren't for the Zhengbai Banner's trick, it would be obvious that the Zhenghuang Banner would have the most prey!
This advantage in the paddock should have been awarded the Zhenghuang Flag!
The Zhenghuang Banner was the first to gather its troops and was the most strict when driving away the deer, so it was reasonable that they had a rich spoils of war.

The Ninth Prince smiled and said, "Total of prey, big and small, is more than 400. That's really a lot!"

The small prey was distributed among the guards, and the big ones were for the three of them. Each person could get several carts of game.

The eldest prince rubbed his fists, looked at the ninth prince with a bad face, and said: "Since you are in the enclosure, don't be idle at night. Wait until after dinner and come and play Buku directly!"

The Ninth Prince took two steps back and hid behind Yaer Jiang'a, saying, "Big brother, you compete with me, and I will be watching and cheering for you brothers!"

The key is that the idea of ​​hosting the party myself has not been completely extinguished.

This round tonight is just right.

The best business is the one that allows you to make money directly without having to work hard.

The eldest prince looked at the others and said, "Who else is coming? We'll be competing with Standing Shooter and Buku tonight. Now that we're all together, let's relax!"

The Third Prince had put so much thought into the competition, but in the end, he ended up neither winning nor losing. He was heartbroken. After hearing what the First Prince said, his eyes lit up and he said, "Big Brother, should we set a jackpot? We can't compete in vain, right?"

Not a kid anymore.

This play is not really play.

The eldest prince thought for a moment and said, "That is, in each round, both players prepare a prize, and the winner wins everything. The prize is capped at a discount of 500 taels of silver."

The Third Prince immediately rubbed his hands and said, "Okay, then I'll join in the fun, to get a good start and bring good luck to the Eight Banners Parade tomorrow..."

The Seventh Prince didn't want to get involved, but after hearing what the Third Prince said, he said, "Then count me in, too."

The concept of luck is illusory.

But since there is a Ninth Prince among the brothers, he will also be among the flag bearers tomorrow.

The Seventh Prince felt that some things had to be believed and there was no need to force it.

The Eighth Prince was looking for an opportunity to stand out from his brothers, so he said, "I want to get closer to my brothers, too."

The Thirteenth Prince looked at the Ninth Prince, and seeing that he did not respond, he looked at the Tenth Prince.

The Tenth Prince looked away and had no intention of speaking.

The Thirteenth Prince looked at Baotai again and asked, "What about you, cousin?"

Baotai thought about the emperor's reprimand and said, "I'll try it too!"

He does not represent himself, but Prince Yu's Mansion.

Buku's chances of winning that match were slim, but he should be able to get a decent ranking in the standing shot.

Always retreating without fighting, what does the emperor think?
The Thirteenth Prince concluded: "Then add me!"

In this way, there will be seven people competing in standing shooting and buku at night.

The Ninth Prince looked at the Fourth Prince, then at the Tenth Prince.

We can't just rely on these two people to place bets, right?
Then winning or losing doesn't mean anything.

He looked at everyone and said, "I'll be the banker, and I'll bet on the outcome. If you guys have confidence in yourselves, you can bet on yourself!"

The eldest prince frowned and said, "Nonsense! Do you think being scolded is not enough? Are you going to start a gambling game under Khan Ama's nose?"

The Eight Banners ban on gambling is no joke.

As they are princes, they should set an example even more.

The Fourth Prince also looked at the Ninth Prince with disapproval.

The Eighth Prince looked at the Ninth Prince, feeling puzzled.

The Ninth Prince actually proposed gambling. Is he really stupid, or is he pretending to be stupid?

The Ninth Prince hurriedly explained, "It's not a gambling game. I'm not stupid. How could I be so stupid? There's no money involved. I'm just betting on game. One cart of game is one bet. The standard is ten large beasts or fifteen medium beasts. I'm just having fun..."

It's not just fun.

We start giving New Year gifts in the twelfth lunar month, and it is just right to include game in the gifts.

Although there was game in the tributes from General Heilongjiang, General Jilin and General Shengjing, the quantity was very small.

A lot of game was caught during this hunt.

There will also be the Eight Banners Hunting tomorrow, which will yield a lot of game.

After hearing what he said, no one objected.

The eldest prince raised his eyebrows and said, "Can I bet double?"

The Ninth Prince held up three fingers and said, "The upper limit is three cars, but it does not mean you have to pay for three cars. For example, if the eldest brother is competing with the third brother, and the eldest brother bets on three cars, then if he wins, he can only pay for one car. Otherwise, the younger brother will lose a lot..."

The eldest prince was still calculating the ratio, but the third prince had already given up and rolled up his sleeves, saying, "Old Nine, what do you mean by that? How can the gap between me and the eldest brother be that big? Do you want to win three times as many games as you lose?"

The Ninth Prince said hurriedly, "It's just an analogy. The odds of winning and losing have not been determined yet. I'll think about it later. Who told me that I'm closest to the Third Brother? I just used you as an analogy..."

"Humph……"

The Third Prince snorted, but believed what the Ninth Prince said and had no intention of pursuing the matter further.

Seeing that the Third Prince was so easy to coax, the Eldest Prince and the Fourth Prince looked at each other and tried not to laugh.

The Ninth Prince has improved and has learned how to use magic potions.

The Third Prince is so gullible that he believes anything.

The Eighth Prince looked at the interaction between the princes and lowered his eyes.

It's only been a year, has the relationship between the Third Prince and the Ninth Prince become so close?
Yes, besides being brothers, they are also connected by a woman named Dong E, so they are brothers-in-law.

The Third Prince's momentum is rising.

In the past two years, when the emperor went on tour, he left people on duty in the Southern Study. On the surface, there were several people, but in fact, the one who made the decision was the Third Prince.

The Prince Regent...

In addition to being on guard against the Tenth Prince using the Ninth Prince, we also have to be on guard against the Third Prince trying to win over the Ninth Prince...

The Eighth Prince felt a little tired.

When he looked up again, he suppressed his chaotic thoughts and said to Baotai, "We don't have any game to share today. If we are short of the capital for betting tonight, can I borrow two cars from you?"

Baotai and the Eighth Prince were of similar age and had been close since childhood. He immediately said, "Of course I can. Why should I be polite, Eighth Prince? I will do whatever you say..."
