My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1826 Epiphany
The Fourth Prince glanced at the Ninth Prince.

This is idle.

Only when I don't have a proper job do I have the leisure to think about these things.

Even if there was indeed some unfairness in the transaction of this property back then, it would not be the turn of the Ninth Prince to step in.

From the Jueluo family to the Beile Mansion, there are several levels of relationships involved.

No matter how nice the words sound, it is still greed for money.

There are no other tasks before the New Year, so I will find something for the Ninth Prince to keep an eye on after the New Year.

You can't just muddle through your days like this.

The Fourth Prince was a little confused and said, "You are not short of money, and your expenses are small, so why are you short of property?"

The Ninth Prince stretched out his palm and clasped his thumb.

"Aren't you thinking about the money for the four younger ones? When we divide the family, the court will take the money. When the younger generation divides the family, each family will manage its own family..."

The Fourth Prince shook his head and disagreed.

This is where and where.

The emperor's father had already had more than fifty children before he reached the age of fifty.

Even if they are not as good as the emperor, they still have several decades to live.

If people really had to worry as much as the Ninth Prince, no one would dare to have children.

The Ninth Prince said, "Fengsheng is three years old this year. It will only take a dozen years for him to become an adult. It would be easier if we make arrangements early."

The Fourth Prince was thinking about the imperial clan examinations and titles.

They can all catch up.

This is not a good thing for them.

The Fourth Prince can only hope that his father the Emperor will live a long life.

If the emperor's grandchildren are conferred titles when their father is still in power, they will be given high titles with grace.

If the emperor's father passed away, they would all become ordinary royal family members and would not have this grace.

Since ancient times, there has never been a shortage of emperors who lived long lives.

The emperor's father was well-read and attached great importance to health preservation.

Everyone else is hoping that the emperor’s father will live a long life. Can the prince wait that long?

The Fourth Prince suppressed his excitement.

Maybe, you can be more patient.

The Ninth Prince continued, "I don't expect them to be filial, but they still have to stand up for themselves. Don't make me worry about them anymore."

The Fourth Prince thought of Yuqing Palace, Prince Zhi’s Mansion, and Prince Cheng’s Mansion, all of which were things that caused his father the Emperor to worry.

If you can't even handle household chores, how can you take on big responsibilities?

Especially the Crown Prince and the Third Prince.

If you can’t even take care of your own children, how can you take care of your brothers and nephews?

The Fourth Prince looked at the Ninth Prince and suddenly something enlightened occurred to him.

The Ninth Prince used to be disliked by cats and dogs, and his father the Emperor didn’t like him either. When did he start to change his attitude?
After the wedding, the emperor went on a northern tour, and the Ninth Prince and his wife were filial to the Empress Dowager and took care of the Thirteenth Prince.

After returning from the Northern Tour, Dong E became close to the empress dowager. Every time the couple sent gifts to the palace, in addition to the emperor's, there was also a portion for the empress dowager.

Ever since the brothers grew up, their father the emperor always said "brothers should be friendly and respectful to each other" and also required them to do the same.

In fact, the expectation that is not mentioned is "the father is kind and the son is filial"...

The Ninth Prince noticed something was wrong and looked at the Fourth Prince and said, "Fourth Brother, what I said is wrong?"

The Fourth Prince looked at the Ninth Prince with a much softer look in his eyes. He shook his head and said, "You're right. You're sensible enough to think so far ahead!"

The attitude changed so quickly, and it was no longer as disgusted as before.

"Ha ha……"

The Ninth Prince felt a little frightened by his gaze.

The Fourth Prince coughed lightly and said, "You have achieved two things at your age: self-cultivation, managing your family, governing the country and bringing peace to the world. This is very rare."

The Ninth Prince should have laughed, but when he thought about the Fourth Prince's age, he was only five years older than him, but he spoke as if he was fifteen or twenty-five years older.

He snorted and said, "Since you are a man with a family background, shouldn't you take on this responsibility? Fourth brother, are you praising me or yourself?"

The Fourth Prince raised the corner of his mouth, stood up and went back to his room to take care of his business.

Seeing that it will be sealed in a few days, I am busy every day.

The Ninth Prince raised his eyebrows. This guy also liked to hear nice words.

Gee...

Just pretending to be serious, but actually quite easy to coax...

When he returned home from the yamen, the Ninth Prince mentioned to Shushu the transfer of Guo Luoluo's family property.

"It's unlikely that Lao Ba would take the initiative to ask for help, but who knows if he would hint to others..."

The Eighth Prince had no income at all, and tens of thousands of taels of silver that was divided when he set up his mansion were embezzled.

Over the past few years, we have been living off our savings.

Shushu listened and didn't think so.

Where are the secrets in the capital?
Once you have done it, there will be traces.

The Eighth Prince might be hypocritical, but he is not so short-sighted.

Ninth Prince is purely a mean-spirited person.

Shushu did not add fuel to the fire, but said: "The Guo Luoluo family wants to resume contact with the Eighth Lady? Does that mean the Eighth Lady is going to come out too?"

After hearing this, the Ninth Prince nodded and said, "No wonder Master feels awkward. The Guo Luoluo family is an old family of the Zhenglan Banner. They can't ask the Eighth Prince for a vacancy in the heir position. I guess they want to ease the relationship with the Prince An's Mansion..."

Since it is going through the Eighth Prince's Mansion, there is no intention to leave out the Eighth Concubine.

Mingdeng and Prince An are cousins ​​and do not need the Eighth Lady as a bond.

It’s just that everyone has different degrees of closeness and distance between them.

The Eighth Concubine was raised by Prince An and was treated like his own daughter.

If the Guo Luoluo family continues to be in a stalemate with the Eighth Concubine, the palace will not give the Guo Luoluo family a good face.

Shushu recalled the Eighth Lady in her memory.

Bright and arrogant.

Like a noble lady from the Eight Banners who could hold her neck high and be scolded by two generations of emperors.

Since the 38th year, the Eighth Lady, who had been silent for three years, has no idea what she will do next...

*
The Eighth Prince's Mansion, west wing.

The Eighth Prince handed several deeds to the Eighth Lady.

The Eighth Lady accepted it.

The Eighth Prince sat opposite her, somewhat confused.

"Since you want to resume relations with them, why don't you find an opportunity to return home after the New Year? Why bother asking for things?"

The Eighth Lady lowered her eyes and said, "Before my aunt got married, she was the only daughter of the Duke's Mansion. When she got married, my grandmother had passed away. She was used to being the only one in the Guoluo family. Since she hates me, she will not forgive me. My uncle is henpecked. Rather than causing trouble and making a fool of himself, it is better to negotiate conditions directly. She will not dare to make trouble anymore, and the relationship between the two families will ease as people see it from the outside."

The Eighth Prince did not approve of this approach.

But the Eighth Lady was right to worry. There was a life in between, and that life was Mrs. Guo Luoluo's only son. This grudge was really hard to resolve.

It's enough as long as we can maintain the face of both families.

The Eighth Prince pondered and said, "In a few days, we will have a grand court. I will ask for the title of emperor, but I don't think Khan Ama will allow it. However, the 500th birthday is different. Let's prepare the birthday gifts well. After the birthday ceremony, I will go to pay my respects to the Queen Mother."

After hearing this, the Eighth Lady felt a little disappointed.

Niguzhu's birthday is at the end of February, so it seems that he won't be able to make it.

Then, she laughed at herself in her heart.

Are you crazy because you locked yourself up?
Children will hold a "Zhuazhou Banquet" but not a "San Birthday Banquet".

There is still a long time to come, and you can afford to wait.

Thinking of this, the Eighth Lady looked guilty and said to the Eighth Prince, "Don't worry, I'm sorry to have troubled you..."

The Eighth Prince was also moved to see that she had lost her temper and had become sensible and reasonable.

If the Eighth Concubine had been so sensible when they got married, there wouldn't have been the twists and turns in the past few years.

Now they are an old couple.

Offspring...

His eyes fell on the Eighth Lady's abdomen and he remembered the imperial physician's diagnosis.

The Eighth Concubine had a miscarriage which damaged her uterus. She also caught a cold after the miscarriage, and her uterus became severely cold.

The Eighth Prince became somewhat anxious.

Due to his physical condition, the imperial physician diagnosed that the Ninth Prince would have difficulty in having children. Now he has two sons and one daughter, with another one to be born soon.

The two legitimate sons stopped and circled their names.

Look at the emperor's grandchildren in the upper study. They are all sitting side by side, and the cousins ​​get along like real brothers.

Not only does she need a prince, she also needs to give birth to one as soon as possible.

Otherwise, his age gap with the grandchildren of other princes’ mansions would be too great, and his future prospects would lag behind.

"Don't be too sad. What's past is past. Let's take better care of our two uncles in the future..."

The Eighth Prince said a few words of comfort, then got up and left.

The Eighth Lady personally saw him out and watched the Eighth Prince leave.

The Eighth Prince did not return to the study in the front yard, but went to the east courtyard.

He needed a prince, a prince of respectable family background.

At Fu Cha's place, the dining table has been set and they are about to have dinner.

Hearing the noise outside, Fucha stood up, exhaled, and put on a submissive expression.

The Eighth Prince came in, glanced at the dining table, and said, "My Lord has come at an inopportune moment and has disturbed your meal."

Fu Cha shook her head and said, "I ate two steamed buns this afternoon, but I'm not hungry yet..."

At this point, she asked, "Master, have you had your meal yet? Do you want to eat right here? If so, ask the kitchen to add two dishes."

The Eighth Prince nodded, took off his veil and sat down on the kang.

"I'm going to rest here today. I won't bother any more. Just eat a few bites. No need to add more dishes..."

There were enough dishes and bowls on Fucha's dining table, enough for two people.

After hearing this, Fucha took a towel and wiped the Eighth Prince's hands, and then ordered someone to bring spare bowls and chopsticks to set the table.

The two had dinner in silence.

When the dining table was cleared away, another maid brought up hot water.

The two of them simply washed up and settled down.

After they called for water, they lay down again. The Eighth Prince touched Fu Cha's back and said, "You have been in the palace for three and a half years..."

Fu Cha leaned on the Eighth Prince and had a bad feeling in her heart.

The Eighth Concubine is about to come out, so the Eighth Prince still wants to lift himself up?
Now is not the time when the dynasty first began to combine the heirs.

Even if the emperor arranged her marriage, she was not qualified to compete with the Eighth Concubine.

Unless I increase the amount...

There are several maids in the study in the front yard. Is someone pregnant?

Fucha didn't want to raise children.

Seeing her silence, the Eighth Prince sighed and said, "It's my fault. I neglected it. I should have asked someone to treat your body earlier. You shouldn't be afraid to see a doctor..."

Fucha raised her head.

The room was dark and the Eighth Prince's face could not be seen clearly.

Fu Cha's breathing was a little heavy.

She wanted to slap the Eighth Prince!

The Eighth Prince is sick!

There are more than ten wives, concubines and concubines, but nothing happens. Who is sick? !

But this is the master, not only her master, but also the master of the Fucha family...

Fucha's tears came out...

She closed her eyes and thought of her cousin.

The two have been childhood sweethearts since they were young. Although there is nothing inappropriate between them, they are in love with each other.

When she grew up, she also imagined what their children would look like.

If there was no arranged marriage, I wouldn't have a son and a daughter, but I wouldn't be unable to be happy...
