My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1899 New Plan

Knowing that the Third Prince only came to ask the Twelfth Prince about the Construction Department, the Ninth Prince left.

Now that you have left the Imperial Household Department, you don't have to worry about it.

However, the sealing of Zhongcui Palace has been lifted, which is indeed good news.

The Tenth Prince, who had followed along, naturally left as well.

The Ninth Prince whispered to the Tenth Prince, "It seems that Khan Ama has had a good year. He has given grace to the Concubine Mother. No matter what faults the Concubine Mother has, it also involves the dignity of the Second Sister and the Third Brother. The Third Brother is fine. He is not a decent person. The Second Sister married far away, and she must have been worried. Now she can rest assured."

The Tenth Prince nodded and said nothing more.

He got the news and knew about this matter in the second year of the Chinese New Year.

It's none of my business, so I just ignore it.

It will make those involved feel uncomfortable.

"Old Nine, Old Nine..."

The Fifth Prince arrived and went straight to the Ninth Prince.

"How has your sister-in-law been recuperating these days? Your fifth sister-in-law is better now, we want to go over to see her..."

The Fifth Prince said.

The Ninth Prince heard this and hurriedly shook his head, then nodded again after thinking about it, saying, "It's good to recuperate, but it's not easy to entertain guests, so let's wait for a while!"

He was worried about the Fifth Lady's behavior, fearing that she would show off and come to his house before she was fully prepared.

What would happen to the wife and the little prince if the disease spread?
But he knew it was not good to refuse directly, so he said: "Young prince is too old, my wife is a little deficient in blood, and needs to take medicine for a while, and my mother-in-law has moved in."

The Fifth Prince was a little worried and said, "Ah, you call this a good rest? What did the imperial physician say?"

The wife of the in-laws came to take care of her daughter...

My ninth brother’s wife rested for a long time after giving birth last time, and it seems she suffered a lot this time.

The Ninth Prince cleared his throat and said, "The Imperial Physician said that I should take more care of myself. Even if I don't want to observe the confinement for two months, it is better to observe the full 42 days."

The Fifth Prince said, "Listen to the doctor, you need to take good care of yourself, then we won't make trouble. After this period of time, I will bring your Fifth Sister-in-law over."

"Uh-huh……"

The Ninth Prince nodded and said, "You and the Fifth Sister-in-law are not strangers, so there is no need to be so polite."

The Seventh Prince and the Tenth Prince were standing nearby and heard everything the two brothers said.

The Tenth Prince understood his Ninth Brother’s thoughts.

Illness comes like a mountain down, sickness goes like a thread.

Both the mother and the baby are weak and cannot take this risk.

However, the Fifth Prince has always been reliable. Since he did not stop the Fifth Lady, it shows that the Fifth Lady is really a good person.

Ninth brother was so concerned this time that he forgot about this.

The Seventh Prince thought of his wife.

The Ninth Concubine suffered from a deficiency of Qi and blood because the fetus was too big; when her own wife gave birth to the Third Princess, she also suffered from a deficiency of Qi and blood.

But at that time, the focus of the family was on the third princess, including the wife herself, and no one knew whether she had taken good care of her health.

When the Seventh Prince thought about this, he felt a little guilty...

After a while, the emperor came out, followed by the crown prince and the eldest prince.

The Third Prince couldn't help but look at the Crown Prince's expression. The Crown Prince looked indifferent and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

The third prince went to see the eldest prince again, and the eldest prince's face looked a little dark.

The Third Prince was a little confused and a little sad.

Khan's father called his sons into the Qianqing Palace, but he only called the crown prince and the eldest prince, not himself.

Hey, I can do three things by myself...

The Fourteenth Prince stood beside the Thirteenth Prince and whispered, "Thirteenth Brother, did Khan Amako say when he will leave the capital?"

The Thirteenth Prince also lowered his voice and said, "The plan is for the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. I wonder if there will be any changes."

For this reason, they would have to return from Changchun Garden in about ten days, and the number of concubines who would follow the emperor to Changchun Garden would be reduced by half.

There were only Concubine Yi, Concubine He, and several other high-ranking officials in the Palace of Heavenly Purity. Concubine Min and Noble Lady Wang did not go this time.

The Fourteenth Prince lowered his eyes and said no more.

If he were still a young prince, he could go to the imperial court and flirt with the emperor, hoping to go to the south to see the world.

But he was not a little prince, he was already a grown prince, and he could do nothing except wait for the emperor to send him errands...

Growing up isn't all good.

Around the beginning of the morning, silence returned outside the Shenwu Gate.

The princes who came to see him off stood up straight from outside the Qianqing Palace to outside the Shenwu Gate.

After the imperial carriage finally left, everyone prepared to leave.

It is still the New Year holiday, so everyone doesn't have to report to the government office.

The Ninth Prince's face darkened. When he got on the carriage, he complained to the Tenth Prince, "Is Prince An too much of a troublemaker? Khan Ama has never liked those empty-headed people..."

It turned out that before the emperor came out, Prince An sent someone to pass on a message, saying that the princes, grand secretaries and princes of the royal family would go to Qingxi Book House to seek an audience the day after tomorrow, in order to present gifts and celebrate before the emperor left the capital.

The tenth prince said, "This year is Khan's birthday, it's different after all."

The Ninth Prince leaned back and said, "The person outside the Qianqing Palace today is Quanhu, why don't you just ask to see him directly?"

He insisted on taking everyone back to Haidian.

Thinking about having to get up early the day after tomorrow, the Ninth Prince was speechless.

"How can we honor our Khan Ama and send him a birthday gift? Do we need outsiders to take the lead and worry about this?"

Even if there is someone taking the lead, shouldn’t it be the prince?
Why is it the clan affairs office that is stepping in?

The Ninth Prince was a little confused.

The Tenth Prince said, "This is definitely not just his idea. I think the cabinet may have some opinions as well..."

He was afraid that the emperor would go on his southern tour and would not be able to return before the Emperor's Longevity Festival, so he had to ask for permission to advance the various congratulatory ceremonies and the offering of gifts for the Emperor's Longevity Festival.

The preparations for the Ninth Prince's birthday gift have not yet begun.

He couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and said, "Do you really want to send it in advance? I haven't prepared everything yet..."

Even though it is the fiftieth anniversary, there is no precedent.

However, you can prepare it by referring to the gift lists of Prince Yu’s and Prince Gong’s palaces for the 40th birthday.

The tenth prince said, "Don't worry, ninth brother. Khan Ama will not allow celebrations in advance. If that happens, the birthday gifts for the officials in the capital arrive, but the birthday gifts for the governors outside are missing, which will definitely make people feel uneasy."

The Ninth Prince nodded and said, "You are right. The longevity gifts presented by the governors and governors-general from all over the country must be on the way. What's the point of presenting them in advance? These people in the capital can't even think of this. They must be doing it on purpose!"

The Tenth Prince: "Khan Ama will not accept these birthday gifts from the governors and governors, and will most likely return them, fearing that it will lead to a competitive spirit and allow them to exploit the local areas."

The Ninth Prince looked at the Tenth Prince and said, "Then... why do we sons accept the birthday gifts prepared by us every year? And I have never heard of the royal family returning them!"

Several tenth concubine’s Western shop’s annual revenue comes from the gifts for the emperor’s birthday and the emperor’s birthday.

The Tenth Prince said, "Because they are relatives, this is a family ritual, which is naturally different from the rituals of officials outside..."

The Ninth Prince couldn't help but muttered quietly, "I still have to think of a way to make money. With just this salary, I can't even afford the expenses of the whole family, let alone the few tributes from the palace!"

Khan Ama is becoming more and more fond of pomp and circumstance.

They also love face, so they don't show this kind of pomp to their ministers, but use it on their sons.

The tenth prince said, "Ninth brother went to the Lifanyuan, and there is a lot he can do."

The Ninth Prince rolled his eyes. When he was in the Ministry of Revenue, he was lazy most of the time because the Fourth Prince was there.

If he were to slack off like his fifth brother when he arrived at the Lifanyuan, it would be a joke.

You can't let people laugh at you for giving birth to princes that are all fools.

Apart from other things, Gao Bin's promotion of corn and potatoes in Xianghe saw early results last year, and he also started trialing boiling water after the fall.

The first thing he could do when he arrived at the Lifanyuan was to think of a way to promote the liquor.

Official pot...

It doesn’t necessarily have to be registered under the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs…

It can also be registered under the name of Lifanyuan...

The Ninth Prince was eager to try.

After returning to the Prince's Mansion, the Ninth Prince went directly to the study in the front yard and wrote a letter to Gao Bin, asking him to send a copy of the account book of the distillery workshop.

He needs to calculate the cost.

It would be foolish to promote Soju directly.

No matter how good the wine is, after being transported thousands of miles to Mongolia, its price would at most have to be multiplied several times.

If you sell it at a higher price, those Mongolian princes and taijis are not fools.

If the profits were really that high, there would have been merchants specializing in selling alcohol long ago.

But what if it’s medicinal wine?

Hehehe...

There are only two things that men fear: failure and death.

There are two types of medicinal liquor: one for boosting virility and the other for health and longevity.

The Ninth Prince wrote down whatever he thought of and gave a brief outline of his plan.

In addition to these two things, women's beauty care is of course indispensable.

Just look at the fact that among all the businesses of the concubine, the profits from the silver shop and the rouge shop rank among the top three, and you will know that it is easier to make money from women.

When they came out of the study, the Ninth Prince handed the letter to Gao Bin to He Yuzhu and said, "Go to Gao's house. If anyone from the Gao family is going to Xianghe recently, just take the letter over."

He Yuzhu agreed, took the letter and went to Gao's house.

The Ninth Prince took his brief outline and went to the main courtyard, wanting to discuss with Shushu to see if there was anything else she could improve upon.

When he reached the door of the west wing, he hesitated.

Perhaps because they spent a lot of time together and they were also siblings, the Ninth Prince respected the Lady Bo, but was less fearful of her.

The Ninth Prince feared his mother-in-law, Jueluo, more than he respected her.

What's there to be afraid of?
The Ninth Prince was not a cowardly person, so he couldn't help but ask himself the questions and answer them in his heart.

then……

He accidentally found the answer...

Feeling guilty...

My mother-in-law's eyes seem to be able to see through people's hearts.

The Ninth Prince recalled his arrogance when the ceremony was first held.

The key point is that he is not the son-in-law that his father-in-law and mother-in-law want, and this marriage was a sudden idea of ​​Khan Ama.

The Ninth Prince is self-aware, but this son-in-law is a little insecure.

At this moment, Xiaotang came over with a food box to deliver the snack. When he saw the Ninth Prince standing at the door, he stopped.

The Ninth Prince glanced at the food box in her hand and said, "Is this for Fu Jin? Didn't Fu Jin have a good breakfast?"

It’s not even noon yet, isn’t it too early for a snack in the morning?
It should be only half an hour before breakfast time.

Xiaotang hesitated for a moment and said, "Fujin vomited after taking medicine this morning, and didn't even eat a few bites of breakfast afterwards..."

After hearing this, the Ninth Prince couldn't help but get anxious and said, "Why did he vomit when he was fine..."
