My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1789 Khan Ama is not right

Of the ten princes and clan members in the room, except the ninth prince and Baotai, all the others looked at Kangxi.

Baotai was cautious. Even when facing his own uncle, he followed the rules between the monarch and his subjects and did not dare to look the emperor in the face.

The Ninth Prince felt guilty and was afraid that Kangxi would notice, so he just lowered his head after asking the question.

Haha!

He did it on purpose!

When the Tenth Prince and the Seventh Prince were wrestling with the Buku, the Ninth Prince also saw the expression on Kangxi's face.

He also recalled the days when all his brothers were favored, but he and the Tenth Prince were the only ones neglected.

Needless to say, the eldest prince was the first prince to stand up. He was tall, strong and healthy, the son of Baturu, and the emperor's father's good eldest son.

The crown prince is the apple of the emperor's eye and is favored even more than the other favored sons. He is elevated to be on par with the emperor.

The Third Prince was both talented in literature and martial arts, and Concubine Rong was also respectable in her early years.

As for the Fourth Prince, he also has the affection of Empress Xiaoyi, and like the Crown Prince, he is a child raised by his father the Emperor.

The Fifth Prince is taking care of the Queen Mother, while the Seventh Prince is sensitive and pitiful.

Only he and the Tenth Prince were picked up!

Now, in front of so many sons, Khan Ama should stop hiding and come and sort out the close and distant relatives.

The Ninth Prince became a father himself and felt deeply touched.

Even though the eldest princess ranked first in his heart, he also valued Fengsheng, who looked like Fujin, and was also close to Akdan, who looked like the empress and fifth brother.

At least in front of the children, he, as a father, treats them equally.

It's not easy to be an impartial father.

Kangxi was being stared at by eight pairs of eyes, so he naturally understood everyone's expectations.

He looked at the Ninth Prince and only saw his forehead.

Because of the questions asked by the eldest prince earlier, Kangxi also knew that the next opponent would be the eighth prince, and the only opponent left was the thirteenth prince.

Kangxi looked at the Eighth and Thirteenth Princes and said, "You two are going to be punished. Tell me, should I detain you?"

The Thirteenth Prince was already expecting something, and his eyes lit up when he heard this. However, he did not speak first, but looked at the Eighth Prince.

Everyone followed the Thirteenth Prince and looked at the Eighth Prince.

This time, the Ninth Prince and Baotai also looked up and watched.

The Ninth Prince was secretly delighted.

The Eighth Prince always thinks a lot and acts humble and gentle in front of others, but this time he probably feels unsure.

The Eighth Prince was a little nervous as he was looking forward to Kangxi's bet.

If he bets on him, it will be a honor for him; if he bets on the Thirteenth Prince, when he wins the Thirteenth Prince, the Thirteenth Prince will be doubly humiliated.

People outside would also know that even though the Thirteenth Prince was favored, it was only because of his young age and he was not truly outstanding.

It's all good.

He then said thoughtfully: "If Khan Ama encourages his sons, they will be happy!"

Kangxi snorted, "Apart from encouragement, there is no punishment?"

At this point, he looked at the Ninth Prince and said, "For this bet, there is one more thing. The loser will also have to pay for it as a small punishment!"

The Ninth Prince understood the algorithm immediately.

That is, the losing party has to pay the winning party again.

It is equivalent to a bet. Whoever bets on the outcome correctly will directly double the winnings or losses.

The Ninth Prince said, "Khan Ama, in the previous two games, the dealer had to give half of the profit to the two sides as hard work fees. So starting from this game, will the same half be given to the losing side?"

“No difference!”

Kangxi said without hesitation: "We all came from the upper study room, and we all learned the same lessons. If you lose, you should admit your shame!"

Seeing that he seemed to be about to change the subject, the Ninth Prince wanted to remind him whether he was betting on the Eighth Prince or the Thirteenth Prince.

Hehe...

Who is more important, the former emperor's youngest son who was once favored or the current emperor's youngest son who is currently favored?
At this moment, Kangxi looked at the Thirteenth Prince and said, "Do you think I should bet on you or the Eighth Prince?"

The Thirteenth Prince didn't expect to be asked this.

He doesn't want to lie.

Naturally, he hoped that his father would look favorably upon him.

But he knew that the Eighth Prince only looked elegant. He had been implicated by his wife in the past two years and was at a loss as to what to do. But he was truly capable. When he was in the upper study, he was able to compete with his older brothers.

The Thirteenth Prince opened and closed his mouth, with a conflicted look on his face.

Kangxi said disdainfully, "Are you arrogant again? Do you think you can defeat the Eighth Prince?"

The Thirteenth Prince decided to follow his heart and said, "My son will do his best."

Kangxi knew that he had been praising the Thirteenth Prince too much in recent years, especially at the beginning of the month when offering sacrifices to Mount Tai.

There are some speculations outside now, saying that the Thirteenth Prince is the candidate for the Crown Prince that he values, and that he has been brought by his side to teach him by example in recent years.

Anyway, it's outrageous.

This is an arm prepared for the prince. He cannot be in the limelight all the time, so as to avoid causing resentment among the prince.

As for the Eighth Prince, he has been quiet for two years and now seems weaker than other princes.

Kangxi looked at the Eighth Prince again and said, "I bet on you to win! Don't let me down. Show your ability to the Thirteenth Prince and don't let him look down on you brothers!"

The Eighth Prince suppressed his excitement and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Father Khan, your son will obey your command!"

Kangxi nodded and said, "Okay! I'll wait and see!"

They are just two sentences, with only a few words in total, but they have a great effect.

The Eighth Prince straightened his back, stepped onto the carpet, and stood face to face with the Thirteenth Prince.

The whole person's mental state is different.

Eyes like knives, ready to strike

The Thirteenth Prince looked quite shocked. He probably didn't expect that his father would bet on the Eighth Prince so easily, and his words and deeds showed that he was certain that the Eighth Prince would win.

Do you really not think highly of yourself?

The Ninth Prince stood in the crowd, looking at this scene, and inexplicably felt familiar.

Huh?
Isn't this like cricket fighting?

If you see a bug that's looking listless, use some grass to poke it a few times to cheer it up.

This fight is evenly matched and more exciting to watch.

It's not just the scene before our eyes that is like this.

In the early years, the relationship between the eldest prince and the crown prince was not as hostile as fire and water, but the emperor's father valued both the eldest prince and the crown prince, praising this and that, isn't this also a kind of teasing? !

The Ninth Prince was a little distracted.

This fight with insects is almost a life-and-death game, if not a life-and-death one.

The fight was brutal.

The insects that lose the fight are either bitten to death directly or lose limbs and are unlikely to be complete.

Kangxi looked at the others and said, "Don't you want to place a bet? Place your bet!"

The eldest prince started again. Except for the ninth prince who was the banker, everyone else made a bet.

The eldest prince, the third prince, the seventh prince, and the tenth prince escorted the thirteenth prince.

Prince Jian, the Fourth Prince, Bao Tai and the Eighth Prince.

The Ninth Prince wrote it down quickly.

It's still a delicate four-on-four situation.

However, in this round, neither the Eighth Prince nor the Thirteenth Prince bet on himself.

As Kangxi signaled to start, the two people on the field started moving.

The Eighth Prince was as excited as a chicken and wanted to win brilliantly.

The Thirteenth Prince felt that he was looked down upon by his father, and he wanted to suppress the Eighth Prince to prove that his father had bet on the wrong person.

Compared with the occasional stalemate between the Seventh Prince and the Tenth Prince in the previous scene, this one was like flowing water between the two.

Grasp!
top!
抱！
push!
The two men are neither lacking in strength nor agility, and their lower bodies are extremely stable.

After the two of them moved around twice, they were still standing in the middle of the carpet, far away from the edge.

This is because they have learned from the lessons of the previous two games, so as to avoid being kicked out of the circle before falling to the ground.

The Eighth Prince is twenty-two this year, and the Thirteenth Prince is seventeen this year.

The Thirteenth Prince used to be as thin as a bamboo pole. In recent years, he has been an old bodyguard, but he has grown into a knowledgeable and intelligent man, and still has the stature of a teenager.

But he did not have the same shortcomings as the Seventh Prince, and he was fully focused, so he did not make the same mistakes as the Tenth Prince.

Therefore, the fight between the Thirteenth Prince and the Eighth Prince lasted longer than the previous one.

A quarter of an hour passed, and another quarter of an hour passed.

Both of them had red faces, beads of sweat on their foreheads fell to the ground, and their bodies were soaked.

The Eighth Prince knew that he could only win!
I have been silent for too long and haven't had the opportunity to show up in front of the emperor and the princes for a long time. I also lost miserably during the day.

If Buku loses, he will probably become a last-rate prince in the future.

The Thirteenth Prince is a young and ambitious man. In recent years, he has been valued by his father, the Emperor, and has been praised by people outside.

Today's paddock was a setback, but he was not the main commander and was just following his brothers' orders, so he did not make any obvious mistakes.

Thirteenth Prince doesn't want to lose this evening's match.

Regardless of whether Khan Ama was a general or not, he was already overwhelmed.

The Ninth Prince's bench was occupied by Kangxi, so he had no choice but to follow the crowd and stand with his brothers.

Others could see that the situation was one of fierce competition, but the Ninth Prince's mind was still filled with the image in the cricket jar. He felt bored and stood with his back straight. He could not help but take out his pocket watch and take a look at it.

Hey, it’s not over yet…

Buku is a very demanding game that requires both physical effort and full concentration, and is usually finished within a cup of tea, meaning the winner is decided within half a quarter of an hour.

The two men on the field confronted each other for more than two quarters of an hour without even taking a break.

Thirteenth Prince's breathing became a little unstable and his calves began to tremble.

Even the Eighth Prince had his mouth tightly shut, and the rise and fall of his chest was particularly obvious.

Not to mention the Ninth Prince, even other people could see that the Thirteenth Prince lacked stamina.

Sure enough, after another half cup of tea, the Thirteenth Prince was picked up by the Eighth Prince and his feet were off the ground.

With a "bang", the Thirteenth Prince fell to the ground.

However, the moment he landed on the ground, the Eighth Prince lifted him up, making his landing half as light, so he did not grimaced in pain like those who fell on the Buku field.

The Thirteenth Prince was in the middle of the situation and naturally felt the Eighth Prince's kindness.

Originally he was a little excited in the competition, but this time he was much calmer and looked at the Eighth Prince.

The Eighth Prince reached out, grabbed the Thirteenth Prince's hand, and pulled him up.

"Thank you, myna..."

The Thirteenth Prince thanked him.

The Eighth Prince did not have the arrogance and joy of a winner on his face. He said sincerely: "You lost to me this time not because of your strength or skills, but because of your age and lack of endurance. When you are as old as me, let's compete again."

That's a thoughtful thing to say.

Even though the Thirteenth Prince had some prejudice against the Eighth Prince, he now felt a little more grateful and nodded, knowing that he was giving him a way out.

Kangxi looked at the interaction between the two brothers with a deep look in his eyes.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, the Ninth Prince didn't want to waste time. He was still thinking about going back to ask the imperial physician to take his pulse.

He said, "Thirteenth brother, this round has rewards and punishments, you have to pay for one round..."
