My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1788 You Try It Too
It turned out to be Kangxi.

Knowing that his nephews and nephews were preparing for the funeral, he had not wanted to come over. However, after finishing his government affairs, he was bored, so he strolled over from the main hall.

The Ninth Prince and the Fourth Prince were the only two people sitting in the room, and they stood up quickly upon seeing this.

Others also lined up at the door to welcome them.

The Ninth Prince stood behind his brothers, feeling a little conflicted.

Can this still make people happy to be the banker? !

Should I appear listless or energetic?

You were full of energy as the banker, but you became listless and asked for leave tomorrow. Isn't that a bad idea?

But can I hide it from my father if I pretend to be listless now?
Kangxi, wearing a formal hat and walking with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, had already entered the side hall, followed by Liang Jiugong and several guards.

He looked around, at the brand new carpet on the floor, and then at the bench not far from the carpet.

The side hall was empty except for one stool, which was prepared for the referee to sit on. After the Ninth Prince sat on it, no one else was ordered to bring in the stool.

When the eldest prince saw Kangxi looking at the bench, he said, "Khan Ama, please sit down. You can be a referee for us brothers."

Kangxi walked over and sat in the middle of the bench. He hesitated and said, "Just now it was the Ninth Prince...compared with the Third Prince? What is the difference between the two of them?"

In fact, even he, as a father, couldn't understand what the comparison was between the Ninth Prince and the Third Prince.

Is there any need to compare these two brothers?

The Third Prince smiled and said, "My son didn't compete with the Ninth Prince. He was just making up for the afternoon attack and defense, and dragged Baotai to warm up."

Kangxi raised his eyebrows, looked at Baotai, and said, "Is this a win or a loss?"

Baotai felt his back tighten and said honestly, "I am not strong enough."

Kangxi didn't say anything, just glanced at the third prince.

Is this a buku throw or bullying?
There are few people in this room who are weaker than Baotai. The Third Prince did not want to find someone to fight against him, but chose Baotai.

How could such a little thought be hidden from him?

The Third Prince felt a little guilty and swallowed.

If not Baotai, who else should we choose?

With Lao Qi’s legs and feet, will he trip him or not?

The Eighth Prince and the Tenth Prince are both capable of doing ruthless things, so what should I do if I fall into the gutter?
The Thirteenth Prince is ten years younger than him, so his victory is unfair.

There is no way to deal with Baotai.

Kangxi looked at the Ninth Prince again and said, "How can we have such a happy occasion if you don't come on stage?"

The Ninth Prince cleared his throat and said, "I was afraid that my brothers would find it boring, so I set up a banker and asked them to use the prey they caught during the day as a jackpot to guess the winner."

Kangxi snorted lightly and did not chase after him to scold him.

After all, this is leisure time, not class.

He looked at the eldest prince and said, "Who will compete next?"

The eldest prince did not answer immediately and looked at the seventh prince and the eighth prince.

He and Yaerjianga will definitely be the last to go, but I don’t know which of the two groups will go first.

The Seventh Prince stepped out and said, "It's my son and the Tenth Prince."

Kangxi nodded.

Although the Seventh Prince had leg problems and his lower body was not as stable as others, he had trained his arm strength hard when he was young and was a frequent visitor to the Buku field.

Kangxi looked at the Tenth Prince again.

The Tenth Prince looks skinny, but just looking at the battles he fought during the day, guarding the camp twice, leading the reckless Yaerjianga and the Ninth Prince, and still being able to get three first place, you can tell that he is not behind others in terms of both intelligence and martial arts.

He was curious about the result of this game.

In front of the Emperor's father, if the Tenth Prince had not appeared in this scene, the Ninth Prince would have just shut up.

But since the Tenth Prince is here, I can’t let my younger brother work in vain.

The Ninth Prince said, "Brothers, place your bets. This time, bet on the Seventh Prince to win, and you'll get one and a half times the payout. Bet on the Tenth Prince to win, and you'll get double the payout."

The Seventh Prince glanced at the Ninth Prince and saw his slightly upturned lips. He must be quite satisfied with the compensation ratio.

Kangxi listened with curiosity and waited for his sons to place their bets.

In front of him, everyone followed the rules and no one spoke first. Everyone looked at the eldest prince.

The eldest prince said, "Then I'll bet on the seventh prince to win."

We are all younger brothers, and we are all as close as brothers, but having watched the Seventh Prince since he was a child, I know what his taboos are.

Although Yaer Jiang'a also knew the Seventh Prince's faults, he had been a comrade with the Tenth Prince for a day, so he supported the Tenth Prince and said, "I bet on the Tenth Prince to win."

The Third Prince looked at the two people on the sidelines and really couldn't make up his mind.

However, weighing the two evils, I would choose the lesser of two evils. If I were to offend someone, I'd rather offend the Tenth Prince.

Lao Qi is a cripple with a sharp eye. I can't afford to offend him.

The Third Prince said, "I'll bet on the Seventh Prince."

When it came to the Eighth Prince, he knew that he should say Tenth Prince.

This showed that he had no grudges and did not take the unpleasantness of the past two years to heart.

But the Eighth Prince didn't want to say it, and didn't want to give the Tenth Prince that respect, so he looked at the Fourth Prince.

The Fourth Prince thought for a moment and said, "I'll bet on the Seventh Prince too."

Sometimes, what you bet on is not winning or losing, and what you win is not the prize, but the human relationships and social skills.

The Eighth Prince still did not speak and looked at Baotai.

This is courtesy and protection.

Baotai thought of his father's private comments on the princes.

Except for the Ninth Prince, everyone else is a tough guy.

These two are not easy to offend.

He shook his head and said, "I'll bet next time."

The Eighth Prince was unwilling to be a vassal of the First Prince and appear to have no opinion of his own, nor was he willing to flatter the Tenth Prince, so he said, "Then I will stop playing too."

In the heart of Thirteenth Prince, both Seventh Prince and Tenth Prince are powerful.

However, he had never dealt with the Seventh Prince, and was closer to the Tenth Prince. Seeing the disparity in numbers between the two, he flattered them, "I'll bet on the Tenth Prince!"

All of a sudden, the closeness of his sons and nephews was all under Kangxi's attention.

Kangxi looked at the Seventh and Tenth Princes and asked, "Are you ready? Do you want to start?"

The Tenth Prince knew that at this moment, he should hide his incompetence and lose to the Seventh Prince without showing any emotion.

But he doesn't want to lose!
He doesn't fight for anything, but when his brothers are together, he has to stand up for himself so as not to be looked down upon.

The Tenth Prince looked at the Seventh Prince and said, "I have a small stake, I will bet on my own two cars and start again!"

The Seventh Prince looked at the Tenth Prince's eagerness to fight and said, "Then I'll also bet on two of my own cars!"

These two brothers are equally confident.

Everyone in the paddock was looking forward to this game.

Kangxi watched and couldn't guess who would win between the two.

One has pride, the other has arrogance.

They are all sons that make us worry less.

Seeing this, the Ninth Prince couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Both of them were determined to win, and they were evenly matched, so it would be difficult for Buku to lose in this match.

Sure enough, when it started, the atmosphere between the two was different from that of the previous group.

Without the Third Prince's ease, both of them looked more solemn.

For a moment, the room became quiet and everyone breathed carefully.

I just watched the two of them moving on the carpet. The Seventh Prince pushed the Tenth Prince one step, and the Tenth Prince took a step back.

His feet were also moving, and he did not avoid moving his feet because of the inconvenience of the Seventh Prince's one foot.

I don't know whether he did it intentionally or unintentionally, but he moved his left foot and his movement was to trip over the Seventh Prince's intact right leg.

Seeing this, the Eighth Prince narrowed his eyes.

Did the Tenth Prince do this on purpose?!

The Seventh Prince has a disabled leg, so all his strength is in that good leg.

If we attack here, the Seventh Prince will lose his base.

The eldest prince and the fourth prince nodded secretly.

Buku is good at using both hands and feet. If the Tenth Prince only uses his hands without moving his legs, it would seem like he is looking down on the Seventh Prince.

Giving your all is the greatest respect to the Seventh Prince.

The Ninth Prince frowned.

This is really a dilemma...

If the Tenth Prince tries to target the Seventh Prince's good leg, he will be criticized; if he tries to target the bad leg, that will definitely not be acceptable.

With his hands tied, Lao Shi couldn't move freely and lost the initiative.

The first round of Buku just ended in half a cup of tea.

Now the two brothers on the field have been playing for a full quarter of an hour, but the winner has not yet been decided.

Both of their foreheads were steaming.

Just as the Ninth Prince worried, compared to the Seventh Prince's smooth movements, the Tenth Prince's movements were a bit slow.

The Tenth Prince was held by the Seventh Prince's shoulders, and the two of them turned around in a staggered manner.

The situation became that the Seventh Prince had his back to Kangxi, while the Tenth Prince faced Kangxi.

The Tenth Prince saw the thoughtful look on Kangxi's face.

He felt resentful and thought about his early days in the study.

That look again!

In the same way, when the princes were tested, if others made progress in their studies, they would be rewarded; if he himself made progress in his studies, he would receive inquiring looks and indirect inquiries, wanting to know whether those people in the guard class of Nianhulu's family treated him differently.

Even his ninth brother, who was always with him, was not worthy of the emperor's father's attention.

As time went by, the Tenth Prince lost his ambition and became known as a "causeless prince" in the eyes of the world.

The Tenth Prince lost his mind and relaxed his grip on the Seventh Prince's shoulders.

The Seventh Prince noticed it immediately, and while the Tenth Prince was still stunned, he moved closer and changed his grip from grabbing the other's shoulders to hugging his waist.

By the time the Tenth Prince realized something was wrong and wanted to fight back, the Seventh Prince had already moved swiftly and thrown the Tenth Prince to the ground.

As soon as the Tenth Prince touched the ground, he jumped up, but one of his feet was already outside the carpet. He was out of the circle and had already lost.

He half bent down, supported his thigh, panted a little, and said, "Seventh Brother is so powerful, I can't compare to him!"

Before anyone else could react, the Third Prince had already clapped his hands and said, "Well done, well done. Seventh brother is still as good as ever, and Tenth brother has made great progress!"

The most important thing is that the Seventh Prince’s payout was one and a half times, so he won half a car!

He looked so excited that if you didn't know him, you would think he had a very good relationship with the Seventh Prince.

Kangxi glanced at him. If the records of his sons' interactions were not laid out on his desk, he would have suspected that the Third Prince and the Seventh Prince had become close friends because they both worked in the Upper Study.

Is Third Prince acting like this on purpose?

The Ninth Prince laughed along and felt relieved in his heart.

It is said in "Zeng Guang Xian Wen" that the bird that sticks its head out will be shot down by the gun, and the local snake will be killed by the knife.

Standing out as the tenth brother is not a good thing.

Kangxi looked at the Ninth Prince and said to him, "The Tenth Prince lost, and you are still happy with him? Aren't you two brothers the best and closest people on weekdays?"

The Ninth Prince cleared his throat and said righteously, "Khan Ama, everyone in this room is my brother, so I can't be partial to anyone, right? This is my banker, so I should be fair and just."

"Humph!"

Kangxi didn't believe his nonsense.

The Third Prince explained, "Khan Ama, the Ninth Prince is so happy because the banker always wins. For example, in this game, the bet on the Seventh Prince is five carts of prey, and the payout is 1.5 times, which means two and a half carts are lost. The bet on the Tenth Prince is four carts, so there is still one and a half carts left."

However, according to what Khan Ama said before he came in, the Ninth Prince still has to take half of the one and a half carts.

However, the Third Prince wanted to expose the Ninth Prince’s greedy face, so he concealed this fact.

Kangxi then realized how the banker operated. No wonder the payout multiples set by the Ninth Prince were different for both parties.

Seeing that Kangxi was quite interested, the Ninth Prince said, "There are still two games left. How about you, Khan Ama, try it too and guess the winner..."

One sentence raised everyone's heart.

The Eighth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince looked at each other.

The eldest prince and Yaerjiang'a also became more serious.

In the emperor's heart, which son is stronger?
Who will he bet on...
