My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1831 No Grace
Shushu thought about what Baiguo had just said.

Is it a coincidence?
Or did the conspiracy succeed?
But the Ninth Prince is already furious, so this is not the time to talk about this. Otherwise, it would just add fuel to the fire.

The Ninth Prince became worried because of her silence.

"scared?"

He said with annoyance: "I shouldn't have told you this. You are different from her. Doctor Jiang also said that your pregnancy looks good."

Both of them are expecting a baby, so such bad news should not reach Shushu's ears.

Shu Shu shook her head and said, "I'm fine. I just thought that Master Shi must be feeling bad. Why did Master come back? I should spend more time with him..."

"Ugh……"

The Ninth Prince sighed and said, "The Tenth Prince's wife is here too, and she's urging me to come back. I guess the couple will still argue. After all, they're all just one prince. What a pity."

The child has died.

There's nothing I can do except feel sad.

Shushu lowered her head and looked at her belly.

I still have to think of a solution later.

She didn't want to be like her husband, who had one baby after another after she got pregnant...

Prince Dun’s Mansion, the principal house.

It was past dinner time and the table was set, but no one was eating.

The Tenth Prince had a tired look on his face.

The Tenth Lady felt very aggrieved.

"When have I ever been harsh to her? If I really wanted to punish her, I could just give her a beating. Why would I plot against her? You're scaring yourself, and you're letting me take the blame!"

The Tenth Prince rubbed his temple and said, "I didn't say you..."

"You didn't say it, but you blamed me!"

The Tenth Lady said with a sense of grievance.

The Tenth Prince raised his head, looked at the Tenth Lady and said, "Can't I blame you?"

Tenth Concubine: “…”

This time she really shed tears.

"I have good intentions and want to be a virtuous wife, so I allow people from Guoluo's family to visit me often..."

As the Tenth Lady spoke, her voice became quieter and quieter.

The Tenth Prince looked at her and said, "You only think about being virtuous, but you didn't ask anyone to find out more about the Guo Luoluo family?"

The Tenth Lady said, "I inquired about it. Her grandfather was the Cloud Guardian and her father was a deputy minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They are also from an official family..."

The Tenth Prince heaved a long sigh and said, "Didn't you find out that her mother is her stepmother and that she has a younger sister who is going to participate in the imperial examination?"

Tenth Concubine: “…”

She understood and said with annoyance, "I was really kind-hearted. I thought that women would miss their families when they were pregnant, so I sent someone to pass the message to Guo Luoluo's family."

The Tenth Prince looked at the Tenth Lady and said, "I have always been the one who took care of the internal affairs of the mansion. I only handed them over to you this year..."

The result was this oversight.

The Tenth Prince had a son who died young, so the Tenth Lady would be questioned.

Both sides suffer.

The Tenth Lady's tears fell "click, click".

Before, the Tenth Prince would definitely take the initiative to comfort her, but now he didn't want to talk.

He knew he was also wrong and shouldn't have let go.

But there are so many people working in this mansion, and none of them are blind. His arrangement of every detail makes others lose respect for the Tenth Lady.

He wanted his wife to be a real mistress of a prince's mansion, and wanted the couple to be united and rely on each other.

Apparently, he thought too well.

This punishment is too severe.

The Tenth Prince was exhausted both physically and mentally, and didn't want to talk. He stood up and said, "My Lord will go to the study..."

How can a lady like this, who can't even handle household chores, raise a son well?

You still have to take responsibility yourself.

The Tenth Prince wanted to lie down for a while to relax himself.

The Tenth Lady stood up and wanted to keep the person.

The Tenth Prince had already turned around and lifted the curtain to go out...

*
Jiubele Mansion, main room.

The couple were also eating.

However, Shushu gave away all the meat dishes on the table and only left a few vegetarian dishes for the couple to eat.

The Ninth Prince was in a bad mood, and Shushu was also worried, so neither the couple had the appetite to eat.

The Ninth Prince said, "Tomorrow Khan Ama will bring the Empress Dowager back to the palace, and we will all go to Haidian again..."

The girls all went downstairs.

The Ninth Prince couldn't help but complain quietly, "Khan Ama wasn't like this in the past two years. In the past two years, the show has become even more grand."

Whatever he does, his son gets tormented.

Shu Shu changed the subject and asked, "The Empress is coming back too?"

The Ninth Prince nodded and said, "It should be. It's just a hassle. I'll live there for half a month, and after the New Year, I'll definitely have to move there again."

In Shushu's current condition, she certainly cannot enter the palace to pay respects. The Ninth Prince had already sent the New Year gifts to the Empress Dowager and Concubine Yi to Haidian.

She had nothing to worry about and could only wait for things to mature.

The couple went to bed early, and the Ninth Prince got up early the next day.

Shushu slept too much yesterday afternoon and got up too since he wasn't sleep deprived.

The Ninth Prince said, "Yesterday I asked the Tenth Prince to take a leave, but he refused..."

Shu Shu said, "Master Shi is right. Filial piety should always be put first, so that the villains won't talk nonsense."

"Ugh……"

The Ninth Prince sighed and said, "No one can be at ease."

He got up too early and was impatient to eat, so he ate a chess piece pancake and got to the front.

The Tenth Prince was already there, talking to the Fourth Prince, with the Eighth Prince next to him.

The young prince of the Tenth Prince's Mansion died at dusk yesterday. He didn't show any signs of fading, so outsiders didn't know about it.

However, the Fourth Prince and the Eighth Prince also noticed the Tenth Prince's silence.

The two brothers looked at each other, both confused.

But it showed on Ninth Prince's face.

He carefully looked at the Tenth Prince and saw that his eyes were dark. He said, "You really don't need to ask for leave? Don't try to be brave. Otherwise, I will go first and ask for leave from Khan Ama on your behalf. Khan Ama will understand!"

The Tenth Prince shook his head and said, "No need. It's the New Year soon. There's no need to say these things and make Khan Ama feel uncomfortable."

Brother Ninth: "..."

Khan had so many grandsons, but I haven’t seen all of those who are still alive, let alone those who died.

It seems that the Fourth Prince and the Eighth Prince are not in the right place.

The Tenth Prince explained, "The Second Prince from my younger brother's family died the moment he landed last night."

Fourth elder brother: "..."

He had also experienced the pain of losing a child, so he said, "My condolences."

The Tenth Prince nodded and said, "Well, I'm fine."

Eighth Prince: "..."

It turns out that children are so fragile.

Even if you make it to birth, you may not be able to stand.

In addition to Fucha, he also had to choose another mother for the little prince.

Only with two little princes can people feel at ease.

The Tenth Prince still got on the Ninth Prince's carriage.

The Fourth Prince and the Eighth Prince rode horses.

The group left the city.

When they were on the road, they were caught up by several other princes.

The welcoming team arrived at Changchun Garden in a grand manner.

At the beginning of the morning, the emperor left Changchun Garden and headed for the North Garden.

Kangxi got off the imperial carriage and personally helped the empress dowager onto the phoenix sedan before setting off back to Beijing.

When the emperor entered the Qianqing Gate, all the princes except the third prince dispersed.

Seeing that the government office was about to be sealed, except for the Ninth Prince, all the other princes working in the ministry were busy.

The Ninth Prince did not return to the Ministry of Revenue to take up duty, but followed the Tenth Prince to the Ministry of Clan Affairs.

The official duties that the Tenth Prince handles now are simple, which are annual rewards for those members of the royal family who are over 60 years old and have no job.

The yellow belt weighs thirty-six taels, and the red belt weighs eighteen taels.

This sum of money was transferred from the inner treasury by Kangxi and had to be delivered by a clerk from the clan office before it was sealed.

The Ninth Prince was right beside him, and the Tenth Prince finished the task in less than half an hour.

"Brother Jiu, I'm really fine..."

The Tenth Prince looked at the Ninth Prince and said.

The Ninth Prince said, "Then I won't accompany you anymore? Let's go to the restaurant. I'll have a couple of drinks with you. I've asked He Yuzhu to reserve a table..."

The tenth prince understood his good intention, and the two brothers came out of the clan house.

When they arrived at Qipan Street, the two of them ran into the Third Prince head-on.

The third prince had a sad face, as if he had lost his parents.

The Ninth Prince looked him over and said, "Didn't you stay in the Qianqing Palace just now? You were scolded by the Khan. Why?"

I'm annoyed.

I wonder if the Third Prince is having fun here.

The Third Prince rolled his eyes at him.

"Do you think you can watch the fun? My second prince is much older than my eldest prince. If Khan Ama doesn't allow him to go to the study room, then I won't allow him. I'll wait until your two princes want to study. Let's see what you will do."

The Ninth Prince was puzzled and asked, "Why not? Are you afraid that your Second Prince will become independent, so you let him enter school a year later, together with the Eighteenth Prince?"

The third prince shook his head and said, "Khan Ama said that there shouldn't be too many people in the study room. If there's a commotion, we can just send one person from each family..."

Brother Ninth: "..."

He was at a loss.

This affects not only his family, but also his fifth brother.

The second prince from the fifth brother’s family is the legitimate son!
What does it mean?
The eldest son from the fifth brother’s side is not allowed to enter the study?

The Third Prince was originally depressed, but when he saw the Ninth Prince's expression change, he felt relieved and started to comfort the Ninth Prince.

"Khan Ama is right. For each grandson to go to school, four more Haha beads are needed. Qianqing Gate is where Khan Ama handles government affairs, so it is indeed not suitable for noise. Not to mention Changchun Garden, the four schools by the pool are only that big."

The Ninth Prince looked at the Third Prince, snorted, and said, "Is it because Khan Ama thinks the Emperor's grandson is too noisy, or is it because Khan Ama doesn't want to give you respect because of the Third Prince's family affairs?"

At this point, he felt more and more that this was the reason, and complained: "Third brother, you too, are almost thirty years old, and you still make Khan worry..."
