My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1875 Discourteous
Akdan's eyes widened into a ball, with tears in them, as he looked at the Ninth Prince.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The Ninth Prince was completely unaware and was still laughing.

Normally, Fengsheng and Akdan act like little adults, but only at this time do they become a bit childish.

"Wow wow..."

Akdan couldn't bear it any longer, he tilted his neck back and burst into tears in anger.

Brother Ninth: "..."

He quickly stopped laughing and said with a bit of embarrassment, "It's really okay, it's not a big deal, no one is laughing at you, don't cry..."

Akdan cried even louder.

Among the three children, Akdan had the fairest complexion. When he cried, his little face turned red.

He Yuzhu couldn't bear it anymore when he saw this, and hurriedly said, "Master, please stop talking!"

The Ninth Prince gave him a sidelong look. What should he do if he doesn't coax him?
Let the child cry?
You are such a bad father and don't know how to love your children.

Having a hoarse voice from crying is no big deal, but if you have internal heat, you will have a high fever.

The Ninth Prince stood up and walked to the head of the kang.

I saw that the two quilts were next to each other, and the area covered by the quilt was close to the middle of the two mattresses.

The Ninth Prince said casually: "Look, look, maybe it wasn't you who peed, it was your elder brother who peed!"

Feng Shengben was looking at his brother worriedly, but after hearing this, he looked at the Ninth Prince with confusion and his eyes turned red.

But Akdan stopped crying after hearing this, looked at the Ninth Prince and said, "No, Big Brother!"

He Yuzhu was standing nearby, wishing he could drag the Ninth Prince out.

How can you coax a child like this?

This is going to make the other one cry.

Fengsheng was already feeling aggrieved, and after hearing what his brother said, he also burst into tears.

The Ninth Prince hurriedly said: "Father said the wrong thing, it was Akdan who peed..."

He Yuzhu pushed the Ninth Prince and said, "Master, go out and get some water. The young prince needs to change his clothes..."

The Ninth Prince gave He Yuzhu a cold look and went out to call for help.

The sound of clappers came from afar, it was almost five o'clock in the morning.

There was hot water in the kitchen. When they heard some noise in the upper room, Baiguo brought Layue, who was on duty, out.

"Go to the back and get the little prince's spare clothes and bathtub..."

The Ninth Prince ordered.

Baiguo agreed and went to the back building, while Layue prepared the Ninth Prince's bathing.

When Baiguo came back, he was followed by Nanny Qi and two nannies.

Akdan was still crying, but his voice had become softer.

The Ninth Prince had not been able to appease her before, so he could only use his trump card and said, "I have disturbed your mother, she must be sad..."

When he saw Aunt Qi coming in, Akdan immediately turned over and threw himself into Aunt Qi's arms, pointing his little arm in the direction of the back building: "Let's go, let's go..."

Feng Sheng also ran over to Madam Qi and said, "Madam, Father made fun of my brother and said that I..."

Aunt Qi: “…”

The two princes should have been taken back last night. This man is really not capable of taking care of children.

Brother Ninth: "..."

Seeing his two sons complaining, the Ninth Prince coughed lightly and said to Madam Qi, "Then take him back. Remember to change Second Prince's clothes before letting him sleep..."

Akdan's tears, which had originally stopped, began to flow again.

Nanny Qi did not dare to delay. She dressed the two little princes and took them away.

The Ninth Prince said to He Yuzhu: "I wasn't this fond of crying when I was a child. I took after my wife..."

He Yuzhu: “…”

You should say this in front of Mrs. Fu-jin, but not in front of him.

When he was assigned to the Ninth Prince, the Ninth Prince had already moved to another palace.

Did you still wet the bed at that time?
He Yuzhu really doesn't know.

Because the maids were the ones who were on duty at night, and they would not trust the young eunuchs to do the duty.

There will be a grand court session today, and the Ninth Prince is wearing court robes and crown.

He Yuzhu brought out a box, which contained red coral beads. The bright red coral beads, paired with blue lapis lazuli and light blue turquoise, looked very gorgeous.

The Ninth Prince put on the coral imperial beads and told He Yuzhu, "The rest is fine, but put the dried meat in two purses."

I'll be there early in the morning and won't be back until the afternoon, so I can take a break by then.

He Yuzhu agreed and said, "Sir, we also have peanut crisps wrapped in glutinous rice paper. They are not as sweet. I will bring you a pack as well."

The Ninth Prince nodded and said, "Take it with you."

After a simple breakfast, the Ninth Prince took He Yuzhu out of the house.

The carriage and guards are ready.

Today, the Ninth Prince still sat with the Tenth Prince, but he did not get on the Ninth Prince's carriage, but got on the Tenth Prince's carriage.

Many people entered the palace today, including members of the royal family, ministers who came to pay tribute, and imperial edicts.

If you meet someone on the road, you must give way according to your rank.

The two of them were sitting in Prince Duo Luo's standard carriage, so there were fewer people who needed to give way.

The Tenth Concubine also wanted to enter the palace and go to Ningshou Palace, but she went through the Shenwu Gate and sat alone in her own carriage.

In the carriage, the Tenth Prince asked, "How is my nephew? The third day of the third month of the lunar year is usually in the morning, so I don't think my Ninth Brother will be able to make it back in time."

You don’t have to offer wine for the “third day of bathing”, but the ceremony must be held.

The Ninth Prince nodded and said, "I was originally thinking about changing the time and having the baby's third day bath in the afternoon, but I asked the midwife and she said that according to the horoscope, this time is always before noon, and there is no arrangement in the afternoon..."

At this point, he said, "You have your sister-in-law, so there's nothing to worry about."

The Tenth Prince said, "My wife said that when she came out of the Empress Dowager's Palace, she went straight to pay New Year's greetings to the aunts and uncles. She will no longer go to the mansion to pay New Year's greetings alone. She will go back directly to attend her nephew's 'third day bath' ceremony."

The Ninth Prince said, "That's good too. I can also help your Ninth Sister-in-law. Otherwise, there are so many old and young people in the family, and no one can take charge."

The Tenth Prince said, "I guess the other sisters-in-law will also go to see the Ninth Sister-in-law."

Even if we don't have a wedding banquet, we still have to send birthday gifts.

Others may be courteous but not in person, but sisters-in-law are considered family members and must show up.

After hearing this, the Ninth Prince snorted and said, "Fourth Sister-in-law has been here, but Fifth Sister-in-law didn't move..."

She’s still my sister-in-law?
Yesterday, the princes went to the palace to attend a banquet for the vassal states and were unable to find time, but the princes' wives did not go to the palace to report for duty.

Because people had to pay New Year's greetings to the Empress Dowager on New Year's Eve, she exempted the palace concubines and the prince's wives from paying New Year's greetings on New Year's Eve.

The Tenth Prince pondered and said, "We should be waiting to go together today..."

The Ninth Prince said, "Forget it. If she is willing to follow the crowd and treat us well, then we should follow the crowd and treat her well."

The Tenth Prince didn't say anything else, but he noticed something was wrong.

The Fifth Lady's family background was not as good as others, but she was from a family of high-ranking officials, and her knowledge of the human relationships over the years was impeccable.

It was indeed unusual that she didn't show up yesterday...

*
In the Ningshou Palace, seeing the Seventh Lady coming in alone, the Third Lady asked in surprise, "Why are you here alone? Where's the Fifth Brother's wife?"

Although the two families were not adjacent to each other, they were in the same area. Normally, the two sisters-in-law would enter and leave the palace together.

The Seventh Lady whispered, "She was ill. She wanted to force herself to come here today, but her complexion was really bad and she was staggering when she walked. The Fifth Master asked someone to help her go back..."

The Third Lady covered her mouth with a handkerchief, feeling somewhat guilty, and said, "Could it be that you got sick after hearing the news that only one prince is allowed to enter the study room?"

After being sisters-in-law for several years, everyone knows their personalities.

The Fifth Lady was as quiet and elegant as a chrysanthemum, and had a certain aloofness that made her seem out of touch with reality. However, after giving birth to a child, she lost some of her ethereal air.

I'm not an open-minded person, I tend to think too much.

The Seventh Lady looked at the Third Lady with a suspicious look on her face: "What do you mean only one prince is allowed to enter the study room? Who said that and when did it happen?"

The Third Lady looked at the Seventh Lady and then realized that this matter was related to the Seventh Lady.

The Seventh Lady is only in her early twenties, and she must be hoping to blossom first and then bear fruit.

Only one child in this family was allowed to study in the palace, and the Seventh Prince was also affected.

The Third Lady laughed twice, her mind racing.

Although they learned the news because their third master mentioned that Hong Sheng was studying, it was ultimately the emperor's intention and had nothing to do with them. They couldn't take the blame or they would be blamed.

The Third Lady changed her words and said carefully, "My son Hongsheng is old enough to go to school. When our master asked about the selection of Haha beads in front of the emperor, the emperor mentioned that he didn't need to be sent to the palace. Only one grandson from a family is allowed to go to the palace to study..."

After hearing this, the Seventh Lady had a dull expression and said nothing.

The first and fourth wives were nearby and also heard it all.

The Fourth Lady lowered her eyes, having already heard what the Fourth Prince had said about this matter.

Besides, she had never thought of sending her second son to study in the palace. Her second son was the third child, and he had a half-brother who was the second child.

People outside say that there is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, but the Fourth Prince loves children. In his eyes, all of them are his children, and he probably wouldn't be happy to divide them into different levels.

The eldest wife is too old to hide her emotions, and when she looked at the third wife, the color drained from her face.

The Third Lady noticed her gaze, looked up, and saw that the First Lady's face looked strange. She really didn't know how to comfort her.

The first wife was the second wife. Even if she gave birth to the eldest son, he would be the second legitimate son of the royal palace, with the same status as her own Hongsheng.

Hongsheng was not allowed to enter the palace to study, and the eldest wife’s son was also not allowed to enter the palace to study.

In addition to the Fifth and Seventh Concubines, the First Concubine also had a great influence.

As for the Fifth Lady, she was just scaring herself.

There is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children. Can the legitimate son really be prevented from entering the palace?

With the Empress Dowager as its backer, the Fifth Prince's Mansion must be a special case.

However, there is only the Fifth Prince's Mansion...

The Tenth Concubine was standing next to them, talking with the Twelfth and Thirteenth Concubines.

The three of them married into the royal family a few years apart, but they were all of similar age.

The three were talking about the young prince of the Ninth Prince's Mansion.

It was inconvenient for the Twelfth and Thirteenth Concubines to leave the palace, but they had prepared a "third-day bathing ceremony" and were planning to ask the Tenth Concubine to take it with them.

Seeing that the sisters-in-law were in a bad mood, the three of them couldn't be happy either, so they all kept quiet.

The twelfth and thirteenth wives have not given birth yet. Even if they give birth this year, it will still be five or six years before they can enter the Imperial Study.

The Tenth Lady thought of Akdan, twin brothers who were born in the same place. Wouldn’t it be nice for them to grow up together?

If they were separated, one would be kept in the palace and the other would be kept outside, which would be really intolerable...
