My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1834 A home that cannot be returned to

The Ninth Prince himself didn't care about the gossip, but since it concerned the Tenth Prince, he took it very seriously.

He stood up and said, "I'll go talk to Old Ten and see if there really is someone up to no good, deliberately disturbing Old Ten's inner house..."

Shu Shu nodded and said, "Then go quickly!"

If it is really a conspiracy, the Tenth Prince can find out and take precautions.

If it wasn't a conspiracy, it could have diverted attention, so that the dissatisfaction wouldn't be directed at the Tenth Lady, affecting the relationship between the couple...

*
Prince Cheng’s Mansion, front yard.

The third prince held Chunlin's arm tightly.

"Don't think of abandoning me... send me home..."

He was completely drunk and looked a little confused.

In front of so many servants in Prince Cheng's mansion, Chunlin didn't dare to pull him away, so he just looked at the gatekeeper for help.

The doorman said, "Guard Chun, please wait a moment. We have sent a message to our wife."

"I want to go home... go home..."

The Third Prince howled like a ghost, and he had his eyes fixed on Chunlin.

When others came over to help him, he pushed them away.

"Get lost, don't come near me..."

When the Third Lady heard the news and hurried over, she saw the Third Prince pushing and shoving the people in the mansion.

"Master..."

The Third Lady called the Third Prince, looked at Chunlin with a somewhat unfamiliar face, and walked hesitantly.

Chunlin saw that he was the one who made the decision, but his arm was being dragged, so he couldn't kowtow, so he bowed quickly.

"I am Chunlin, the guard of the Ninth Prince's Mansion. I am here to escort the prince back on the orders of our master."

The Third Prince stared at the Third Lady blankly and murmured, "This woman... looks familiar..."

The Third Lady heard this and was so angry that she fell backwards, gritting her teeth and saying, "Are you really drunk? You don't even recognize me!"

She didn't believe it.

After more than ten years of marriage, other people may not know how much the Third Prince can drink, but doesn’t she know?
Seeing that she was fierce, the Third Prince pulled Chunlin's arm and half-hid himself backwards.

"Don't scare me... I'm a prince... I'll ask Khan to deal with you..."

The Third Prince's mouth was numb, but he made his words clear: "If you are in a rage... don't come near me... don't touch me without permission..."

Seeing that the couple was about to start quarreling, Chunlin didn't want to watch the fun.

He quickly stepped aside to let the Third Prince pass, and said to him respectfully, "Third Master, you are home. Please ask the Third Lady to take you in to sober up. I have to go back and report..."

The Third Prince's eyes fell on the surrounding houses and he immediately shook his head.

"This is not my house... The tiles in my house are not this color..."

The Third Lady realized that he was really drunk this time.

She couldn't be angry, nor could she be not angry.

This yard is full of servants, it's a joke.

Just then the chief emcee was also alarmed and came over to check.

The Third Lady said, "The master is drunk. Find two strong men to help him in."

The chief emcee responded and called two guards on duty to follow him to help the man.

The Third Prince did not hide this time. He recognized the man and tilted his head to look at him. He said, "Fifth Prince, how come you are so old? You have wrinkles all over your face."

This is his Haha beads, they grew up together since childhood.

The fifth prince supported the third prince's arm and placed it on his shoulder, saying, "I am three years older than my master, and I will be thirty next year..."

Seeing that someone had taken over, Chunlin hurriedly said to the Third Lady, "Then you go ahead and I will go back and report."

"Don't leave in a hurry..."

The Third Lady calmed down her anger and said, "Aren't we welcoming the Emperor today? Why are you all gathering together to drink again?"

Chunlin said: "I don't know either. It was our master and the tenth master who went to have dinner and ran into the third master coming out of the palace..."

Sanfujin: "..."

The couple rested together last night, and the Third Lady urged the Third Prince to quickly ask the Emperor for permission to discuss the matter of his second son's studies.

The Third Lady's face was a little stiff, and she ordered the nanny beside her, "Put a tea bag in Chun Shiwei's bag. It's so cold, please trouble him."

The nanny responded and gave Chunlin a purse.

Chunlin bowed and said, "Thank you, Third Lady, for the reward..."

Chunlin didn't delay, apologized, and turned away.

The Third Prince was still talking to the Fifth Prince: "Why don't you go back to the palace... It's not okay to run away..."

The fifth one advised in a gentle voice: "Master, take a rest first, and come back to the palace when you wake up."

"Khan Ama...Mother...Has mother sent the rice dumplings to my brother's residence?"

The Third Prince closed his eyes and said, "I want to eat rice dumplings... not dipped in sugar... dipped in honey..."

The Third Lady was following beside him, and was about to ask about the audience with the Emperor today, but after hearing this, she slowed down her pace...

*
When Chunlin returned to the Prince's Mansion, he happened to meet the Ninth Prince.

The Ninth Prince came back from next door.

He was self-aware and knew that the Tenth Prince was smarter than he was, so after telling him about the strange rumors, he stopped worrying about it.

"Why did the delivery take so long?"

As the Ninth Prince spoke, he looked towards the carriage and said with gritted teeth, "Could it be that he vomited on the carriage?"

Chunlin shook his head and said, "I didn't vomit, it's just that the Third Master was so drunk that he didn't recognize anyone and insisted on going back to the palace, and he pulled me and wouldn't let me go."

The Ninth Prince became interested and said, "He can't drink much. Let him learn from me how to make a fuss!"

Chunlin replayed what happened after the Third Prince got off the car.

In fact, the Third Prince also made a fool of himself on the road.

But since the Ninth Prince didn't ask, Chunlin was kind enough not to mention that he was on the way.

On the way, the Third Prince lowered his head and almost vomited. He was about to burst out the liquid. Later, he covered his mouth and tilted his head back to prevent himself from vomiting.

So the Ninth Prince was right to worry about the carriage, as he almost got it dirty.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The Ninth Prince couldn't help laughing when he heard Chunlin's vivid words. He said, "Woman? The Third Sister-in-law didn't tickle him. She has a good temper!"

How could I not share such an interesting thing with Shushu?

Chunlin took out his purse and told him about the Third Lady's reward of tea envelopes.

The Ninth Prince said, "Just keep it and go to the accounting office to get another one later..."

After saying this, he quickened his pace and headed towards the main courtyard.

It's a good time to talk about something fun and brush aside the matters concerning Old Ten's family, so that Shushu won't have to worry about having a smooth childbirth.

In the main room, Shushu saw the Ninth Prince dancing and imitating the Third Prince's drinking and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

These are really plastic brothers.

The Ninth Prince even laughed and said, "Maybe he was pretending to be drunk. He didn't know how to tell Third Sister-in-law about Hong Sheng, so he pretended not to recognize her..."

Shushu felt something was wrong and asked, "What happened to Hongsheng?"

That is the second prince of Prince Cheng’s Mansion, who is five years old this year.

The smallpox epidemic did not affect the second prince this time because Hongsheng had been vaccinated last winter.

Brother Ninth: "..."

His eyes were a little dazed as he thought about how to get around it.

Shushu looked at him carefully. He was still in the mood to make fun of the Third Prince. That shouldn't be because Hongsheng was sick.

What is it that makes the Third Lady concerned but the Third Prince avoid talking about it?
Shushu felt like she had guessed it.

Seeing that she no longer had a smile on her face, the Ninth Prince hurriedly said, "Don't worry, there are still two years left. Khan Ama may not be blocking the emperor's grandson from entering the palace to study. Maybe he is impatient with Third Brother recently and does not want to give him this grace."

Shu Shu exhaled and said, "Just now I heard from Master that the Third Master was drunk, and I was wondering why he mentioned the palace. It turns out it was because of this..."

For the third prince, the Forbidden City is his home.

There were his parents and eldest son.

Although he was granted a title and established his own palace, the meaning of his legitimate son returning to the palace to study was different.

Now that he is not allowed to send it back, it is understandable that he feels aggrieved.

The Ninth Prince thought for a moment and said, "The Third Prince was really sad today. He probably didn't expect Khan Ama to refuse. And then because of the Tenth Prince's loss of his son, he thought of his little prince and eldest princess..."

The Ninth Prince had not expected that the Imperial Court would refuse the Third Prince's request to send his second son to the Upper Study.

Previously, the Third Prince went to the Ministry of Revenue and mentioned the matter of Hong Sheng's studies. The Fourth Prince asked him not to delay and to make arrangements as soon as possible.

The Fourth Prince was not setting a trap for the Third Prince, but was thinking of the second son of the Fifth Prince.

There is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children. It is impossible that the eldest son of a illegitimate child can enter the palace to study, so why can't the legitimate son?

In this way, the Fifth Prince's Mansion will have two imperial grandsons entering the palace, and the other princes' mansions should also be able to send two imperial grandsons.

In this way, the second sons of other princes' palaces can also take advantage of this opportunity and enter the palace to study.

Who would have thought that this request was rejected.

Here, Fengsheng is older than Akdan and cannot go to the palace to study, but I can explain the truth to him.

"Fifth brother's situation is even more troublesome. The eldest son of a concubine entered the palace to study, but the legitimate son was not allowed to go. What will happen to his title in the future... I don't know what Khan Ama is thinking. Why doesn't he even care about the Empress Dowager..."

The Ninth Prince sighed and said, "Fortunately, that Princess Liu was sent away, otherwise the Fifth Prince's mansion would be in chaos..."

Shushu listened quietly and felt that this rejection was a bit strange.

This is inconsistent with Kangxi's practice of emphasizing the legitimate wife and suppressing the illegitimate daughter.

The key is that the Queen Mother is in the middle. She loves her grandson, the Fifth Prince, and also values ​​the Fifth Prince's legitimate son.

When the little prince was born, the empress dowager was happy for a while.

The time that the Emperor spends in the palace is limited now. In a year, there are two months more than that.

At other times, he was either on tour or staying in Changchun Garden.

How noisy can this study room be?
unless……

There are reasons why the little prince cannot be allowed to study in the palace.

She remembered that the little brother had acne last month...
