My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1792: Beginning and Ending (Requesting Double Monthly Tickets)
There were also people in the Thirteenth Prince's carriage.

It was the Fourth Prince who had a lot to say.

The Thirteenth Prince hung his head, feeling very ashamed.

Although he was not the only one who was ill today, he had his reasons for ending the trip early. He felt embarrassed to face his brothers.

Everyone is busy with work all year round, and only now can they relax for two days.

Hunting under the same flag is different from any other ordinary pastime. It can also be used to train soldiers and get to know the soldiers of each flag.

"It surprised me that……"

The Thirteenth Prince murmured.

They didn't expect that the emperor would cancel the hunting trip just because they were uncomfortable.

Although people have been saying that the Emperor dotes on him in recent years, the Thirteenth Prince knows in his heart that he is not treated differently.

On the contrary, since he was a child, he had seen how his father the emperor loved the crown prince and the previous group of princes.

The Fourth Prince reprimanded him, "You still have the mind to think about other things? Do you think arthritis is fun? It's just a mild case now, just a pain in the legs due to the cold. If it gets serious, you can only stay in bed. Not to mention others, just Uncle Wang, he had arthritis attacks in the past two years and hasn't left the palace for half a year!"

He is not a paraplegic, but he is almost one of them.

The key is that it hurts so much and is very painful.

Prince Yu is old, over fifty, so this disease is not uncommon; but it is really unusual for the Thirteenth Prince to have arthritis.

Thirteenth Prince smiled and said, "Ninth Brother mentioned it once in the summer, asking me to try salt compress and ant wine, but I forgot about it."

It was raining continuously at the time and he felt a little unwell, which was noticed by the Ninth Prince. The two brothers talked a few words about arthritis.

After hearing this, the Fourth Prince pondered, "What does salt compress mean?"

The Thirteenth Prince said, "Heat up the salt packet until it's boiling hot, and place it on your knees to take advantage of the heat."

The Fourth Prince said, "That can also drive away the cold, you can give it a try."

As for ants, according to the herbal medicine, they are actually a good remedy for rheumatism...

In the Ninth Prince’s carriage.

The Ninth Prince yawned continuously.

He slept for the whole morning and when he got up he had a bowl of medicine soup.

Besides keeping away the cold, the other thing that helps you sleep makes me feel sleepy.

The Ninth Prince's mind was a little fuzzy, but he still remembered his gains from yesterday, and said to the Tenth Prince, "Is everyone going to cheat on the prey we bet last night?"

The Tenth Prince smiled and said, "Don't worry, Ninth Brother, don't worry about this. I think the instructions have been given and they will be delivered to Ninth Brother's residence later."

Except for the Thirteenth Prince, everyone has their own residence and they always bring a lot of servants with them when they travel. If there is anything to do, they just give the order and someone will get to work.

The Ninth Prince said, "I lent Fourth Brother two carts. I thought he would return them to me after the hunting trip today. He would not refuse to pay me back."

This is the difference between brothers.

It is not easy for older brothers to take advantage of their younger brothers, but younger brothers can take advantage of their older brothers.

When the Ninth Prince thought of this, he sighed and said, "What did the Fourteenth Prince rely on in the past few years? Wasn't it because he was young back then? You said that our ranking is not too high, but if I were the Nineteenth Prince and you were the Twentieth Prince, we wouldn't have to worry about anything else. We wouldn't have to worry about anything and could just be rich and idle."

We don't have to be like we are now, and we have to learn to be cautious so as not to be affected by the disaster.

The Tenth Prince said proudly: "Ninth Brother, don't worry too much. We won't bully others, and we can't let others bully us!"

You can't be a softie, because if you do, others will follow the trend and bully you even if they don't want to.

It is a good character to be vindictive. If someone dares to approach you, bite him back and make him remember it.

The Ninth Prince said, "Of course, we are all princes, who would be willing to be a grandson?"

With their current status, they are already above tens of millions and below a few people.

The only people who dare to bully them and have the qualifications to bully them are the royal family themselves.

Since they are our own people, they have room to fight back.

Especially since they are not isolated and helpless, they have each other as their arms and the Fifth Prince as their helping hand.

The two brothers have similar ideas.

The Tenth Prince said, "For the time being, we don't need to be too cautious. We can just watch from the shore."

Let alone anything else, just the rumor that spread farther and farther this morning is not groundless.

When the Eighth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince stopped riding horses and instead switched to carriages, it seemed more like a confirmation of "both sides suffered losses."

For a moment, the Tenth Prince couldn't guess where the source was.

Who knows whether it was because the Third Prince was acting stupidly or because he was unlucky and was being blamed.

Anyway, since this came from the Bordered Blue Banner, let's explore it.

Not to mention others, the Eighth Prince definitely suspected the Third Prince.

It's another situation of two tigers fighting each other.

In addition, there is an eldest prince in the Bordered Blue Banner.

No one has said anything about the eldest prince yet, but it’s just a rumor. If someone brings this up again tomorrow, the eldest prince might be considered the mastermind.

But if you put it the other way around, you can also guess that the eldest prince was blamed.

There are other people interfering in this.

The Ninth Prince remembered that the Emperor would accompany the Empress Dowager to Changchun Garden tomorrow, and an idea came to his mind.

"Tell me, can I use my illness as an excuse to have the Seventeenth Princess and the Nineteenth Prince sent back to the palace?"

There are many empty courtyards in the Prince's Mansion, but no matter how young these two guests are, they are still princes and princesses.

As brothers and sisters-in-law, they really need to treat them with courtesy.

Niguzhu recovered early.

But if the Seventeenth Princess and the Nineteenth Prince are not sent away, Lady Bo and Niguzhu cannot return to Ning'an Hall.

The Tenth Prince also understood the Ninth Prince’s dilemma. After thinking about it carefully, he shook his head.

"It's not appropriate. I wonder if the emperor will go to Changchun Garden to take a few concubines with him tomorrow morning. If my mother and the noble lady move to Changchun Garden, there will be no one to take care of them if you send them back in such a hurry."

After all the hard work of taking care of two children for a month and a half, it is better to have a beginning and an end to it, so as to avoid wasting all the hard work and not getting any good results.

The Ninth Prince frowned and said, "What if my mother and Noble Lady Wang go to Haidian? Then we can't send the child back?"

Who knows when Khan Ama will return to the palace.

In recent years, the time the emperor has spent in the palace has become shorter and shorter, and the time he has stayed in Changchun Garden has become longer and longer.

The Tenth Prince said, "We can't just send it without asking for permission. When it was sent over, Khan Ama wrote a red seal, and Ninth Brother also wrote a memorial to ask for permission, detailing the health of the prince and princess, and then asked for the date of sending it back."

The Ninth Prince listened to this and said with a bitter face, "Why are you so thorough? It's just a matter of a word. This person is not an outsider. It seems like we are not a family anymore."

The tenth elder brother: "..."

From the day they left the palace to set up their own offices, they each opened one.

In the future, their descendants will be recorded in the Yellow Book as a new clan.

The Ninth Prince shook his head and said, "Forget it, forget it. I can't be so thorough. That way I'll appear too sensible. If I'm not thorough again, I'll be scolded and criticized by Khan Ama. It's better to be sloppy. He won't ask the same of me as he asked of the older brothers."

The Tenth Prince listened and felt that what his Ninth Brother said was right.

They really can't box themselves in.

Not only will they be hard-working, but others might also think they are changing their appearance for some other purpose.

I should continue to maintain this little problem on my body.

After more than half an hour, the team entered the city and the emperor returned to the palace.

Before leaving the Nanyuan enclosure, the emperor sent guards to pass on a message, asking several ill princes to return home or to the palace to have a good rest.

The Ninth Prince's carriage went straight back to the North Palace.

The two brothers got off the carriage, and the tenth prince whispered, "Since the ninth brother is ill, he should be placed in the front yard."

The Ninth Prince knew that this was a reminder to himself that if he pretended to be sick, he had to pretend to be completely healthy.

The Ninth Prince glanced at the front door of his own house.

He knew that the emperor had spies in the palace.

Chief Steward Cui originally came from the Qianqing Palace.

Before Cui Baisui was transferred to the Second Institute, he was also a eunuch in the Qianqing Palace.

But the Ninth Prince didn’t pay much attention to it before.

There is nothing private here that he cannot tell anyone.

But now he was thinking about his father's appearance last night and felt a little upset.

He said to the Tenth Prince, "Old Ten, you have the best brains. Please help me think about this. Should I change the gatekeeper for my Prince's mansion?"

The Tenth Prince really thought about it seriously and shook his head, "No, this is just right."

It's not a bad thing to know that the emperor has eyes and ears.

If one day they want the emperor to hear something, it will be convenient.

The Ninth Prince suddenly had this idea, but when he saw that the Tenth Prince rejected it, he did not insist.

As the brothers were talking, Shushu came out wearing a cloak.

It turned out that she had received the news and knew that the Ninth Prince had returned home, so she came out to greet him.

I thought I would meet him at the entrance of the main courtyard, but I didn't expect to meet him directly outside the gate.

"Master, Uncle Ten..."

Shu Shu said.

The Tenth Prince bowed and said, "Sister-in-law, Brother Nine has caught a cold and needs to rest for a few days."

Shushu was already worried that the Ninth Prince would come back early and was feeling uncomfortable, so she looked directly at the Ninth Prince's face.

This looks good.

The Ninth Prince was afraid that she would worry, so he hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay, I just caught a cold and need to take medicine for a few days. I'm afraid that the disease will spread to the children, so I'll stay in the front yard for a few days."

After hearing this, Shushu became even more worried and said, "The more this is the case, the more we should move back to the main house. It will be more convenient for me to look after the master. As for the children, just stop them from being carried upstairs."

The Ninth Prince listened and was a little undecided. His suggestion was different from what the Tenth Prince had just proposed.

He looked at the Tenth Prince, questioning with his eyes.

How about living in the main courtyard?
He also didn't want to live in the front yard alone.

Especially since it was not just one or two days, he planned to use this excuse to rest for ten days and get through the coldest days of the year before recovering. Otherwise, he would have to report to the Ministry of Revenue every day in the wind and snow.

The Tenth Prince thought about it and decided it was okay. He said, "Then Ninth Brother, remember to ask the palace doctor to take your pulse after taking the medicine for three days."

The Ninth Prince thought about the medicinal soup which was not bitter but not tasty either, and nodded with a conflicted look on his face.

The brothers separated, the tenth prince returned to the Prince's Mansion, and the ninth prince took Shushu back home.

When they entered the main room and were left alone with the couple, the Ninth Prince said, "I didn't have anything wrong. I just didn't want to go hunting, so I was lazy and called in sick. Who would have thought that the guy next door and the Thirteenth Prince would catch a cold, so my father-in-law canceled the hunting today. It's not good for me to be so energetic in just a short while, so I have to pretend to be sick for a few more days."

Shu Shu said: "Then the master washed up and lay down, as if he was recuperating from illness."

The Ninth Prince nodded, washed up, took off his outer clothes, and sat down on the kang. He looked at Shushu and said, "How have you been these past day and a half? Did you miss me?"

Shushu thought about how she spent most of the day coaxing her child yesterday, and the laughter of the child was still ringing in her ears...
