My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1906 Changed the Rules
In the Fifth Prince's carriage, the two brothers were also talking about the tour that would take place in a few days.

"Isn't he still on a tour with the two Grand Secretaries? He shouldn't be walking very fast, right? Zhang Yushu is getting old, isn't he?"

Zhang Yushu was the Grand Secretary of the Wenhua Palace. He was over 60 years old and entered the cabinet at the age of 28. He served as the Taiping Pavilion Elder for more than ten years.

The Fourth Prince said, "The official road from the capital to Shandong was repaired a few years ago, and it is not bad to take a car."

Given the Ninth Prince's laziness, even if a mount was prepared, he probably wouldn't be able to last for two days and would still have to take a carriage.

The Fifth Prince frowned and said, "Traveling by car is not as tiring as traveling by water."

The waterway is the canal, so the boat sails smoothly and is less tiring.

The Fourth Prince looked at the Fifth Prince and said helplessly, "Old Nine is already twenty-one, he's not a child anymore, you should worry less!"

The Fifth Prince complained in a low voice, "Will Khan Ama want to transfer the Ninth Prince back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs? The Ministry of Internal Affairs is just a place for running errands. What can you learn from it?"

The Fourth Prince thought about it and shook his head, "No, since he was told to go to the Lifanyuan next, he still has to take over the ministry."

The Fifth Prince nodded and said, "That's not bad. With me in the Lifanyuan, he doesn't have to be in the dark. The Fourteenth Prince is about to take up his post, and it's impossible for the Ninth Prince to learn nothing..."

The Fourth Prince's eyelids twitched and he had a bad feeling.

The Fourteenth Prince is worrying, so when the rotation of the tribes begins, which yamen will Khan Ama arrange him to?
It doesn’t seem hard to guess…

The group went directly to the North Official House.

The Fifth Prince followed the Fourth Prince down from the carriage and came to the Ninth Prince.

"Has my nephew gotten on the scooter? I'll go check it out..."

The Ninth Prince would not be at home after he went out. When the little prince was one month old, it was not convenient for the Fifth Prince to come over, so he wanted to see his little nephew in advance.

After hearing this, the Thirteenth Prince followed and said, "It weighed seven pounds when it landed. How much does it weigh now?"

The Ninth Prince was very proud when he heard this, and said, "I weighed myself yesterday, and it was seven taels more. I gain one tael of fat a day since I was born..."

Seeing that the Fifth and Thirteenth Princes did not understand, the Ninth Prince shook his head and said, "Really? I can tell you are ignorant. Normally, a child would lose weight after a few days of passing feces. Our little prince grows one or two pounds a day. He is being raised very well."

The Fifth Prince snorted, "Who would be so careless as to think about this?"

The Thirteenth Prince smiled.

He hasn't become a father yet. After becoming one two or three times, he will definitely be as knowledgeable as Ninth Brother.

Everyone wanted to see their little nephew, so they followed the Ninth Prince into the palace.

The Ninth Prince did not lead people directly to the main courtyard, but took them to the living room to serve tea, and then sent He Yuzhu to the west wing to pass on the message.

It was not yet the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, and the weather was still cold. He could not bear to take the child out, so he had to take everyone with him.

Shushu was in the postpartum period and didn't need to come out to entertain guests, but it was not a good idea for them to go over directly.

But Fengsheng and the others can come and wish their uncles and aunts a happy new year.

The Ninth Prince then instructed Zhou Song to fetch Niguzhu and the two princes.

When Zhou Song went down, the Ninth Prince looked at the waists of the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince and said, "You are uncles. It's New Year's Day. You can't meet the children empty-handed, right?"

The Fourth Prince couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Fortunately, it is still the New Year and I have a lot of money on me, otherwise I would have been so embarrassed.

This younger brother really takes advantage of every opportunity and is obsessed with money.

The Fifth Prince looked at the Ninth Prince and said, "Do I need you to remind me of this?"

The Ninth Prince said, "I'm afraid that my brothers will be embarrassed if they can't help me at the moment, so I just remind them..."

As he said this, he looked at the Thirteenth Prince and said, "As an uncle, you can't save money either..."

The Thirteenth Prince nodded and said, "Of course, Ninth Brother, don't worry."

After a while, the three children were carried out.

Niguzhu stood at the door, looking at the people sitting in a circle, feeling a little curious.

"Father, Uncle Ten..."

The little baby spoke in a crisp voice, but did not rush forward.

Fengsheng and Akdan did not rush to call for help, but waited for the Ninth Prince's instructions.

Everyone looks familiar, but since I am young and have seen few people, I can't recognize anyone clearly.

The Fifth Prince was standing nearby, and he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, saying, "Have you forgotten about Fifth Uncle? I took you to Fifth Uncle's house last summer?"

The Ninth Prince defended his shortcomings and said, "I haven't seen you for half a year. I can't remember my uncle or my father clearly..."

As he spoke, he introduced several children to each other.

"This is Fourth Uncle, this is Fifth Uncle, this is Thirteenth Uncle..."

The three children called for help obediently.

Fengsheng and Akdan are okay. They are well-behaved and don't like to talk in front of others.

When he got to Niguzhu, he was very familiar with everyone.

After she called everyone, she looked at the Thirteenth Prince, then at the Tenth Prince, and looked back and forth between the two.

Seeing her adorable appearance, the Tenth Prince stood up and hugged her, saying, "What are you looking at, Princess? Don't you have enough eyes?"

Niguzhu hugged the Tenth Prince's neck and whispered in his ear, "Thirteenth Uncle looks like Tenth Uncle, why don't we usually see him at home?"

The Tenth Prince also lowered his voice and said, "Your Thirteenth Uncle lives far away. Now that you live closer, you can come more often."

The two newly built prince's palaces are located in the territory of the Bordered Yellow Banner, not far from the Beiguanfang.

The Fifth Prince held Fengsheng in one hand and Akdan in the other, and was reluctant to let go.

The two nephews are good-looking and seem smart.

Three years old look old.

From now on, my brother’s family will be younger, so there’s nothing to worry about.

It's my own family, a confusing account.

My second prince looks a bit like Akdan...

The Fifth Prince felt bitter in his mouth and truly regretted it.

The Fourth Prince remembered that the Ninth Prince wanted to set up an inner school and asked, "How will we start learning? Have you set the rules?"

The Ninth Prince nodded and said, "Let Cui Anda teach Mandarin. Chinese is too difficult, so let's take it slow. Cao Yueying is a beginner, so there's no need to teach too fast. It will take two years, so take your time..."

After listening to this, the Fourth Prince considered it carefully and felt that this arrangement was a good one.

You can also make this arrangement for your two little ones.

The prerequisite is to move the second prince away from Li.

The two younger sons, both four years old, were also vaccinated.

The Fourth Prince thought that he could also go before the Emperor and ask for a name. It would be hard to not even have a name.

However, the government seals it now, and the Imperial Observatory and the Ministry of Rites are no exception. We can only wait until the emperor returns to the palace before asking for it.

Everyone gave the three children New Year's pouches, and the three children were taken away.

He Yuzhu just came back.

"Master, the little prince has just finished his feeding and is awake..."

The Ninth Prince brought a few people into the main courtyard and went to the south room of the west wing.

The little prince was already on the sled, his arms and legs were tied, his eyes were open, looking around, with no intention of sleeping.

When a few people came closer to take a look, they saw a chubby white baby.

The Fifth Prince smiled and said, "This is really well-fed..."

The Fourth Prince looked at the round face and the double chin and was also surprised.

It is rare to see such a strong child in the royal family.

Then, the Fourth Prince discovered something was wrong with the stroller, pointed at the towel roll under the Little Prince's pillow, and asked the Ninth Prince, "Where's the pillow? Why are you using it like this?"

According to Manchu customs, children must sleep with flat heads, and the pillows used by babies are millet pillows or sorghum pillows.

The pillow is hard and allows the back of the head to lie flat when sleeping.

The Ninth Prince said, "I just changed to this soft one. A flat head doesn't look good. If you're not careful, you'll have a round face. A round head is better. You won't look stupid even if you're fat..."

Fourth elder brother: "..."

Fifth Prince: “…”

The two of them simultaneously thought of their nephews and nieces they had just met, and realized that the children all had round heads, not flat heads.

Perhaps because all the children looked blessed, they did not notice the difference.

The Tenth Prince couldn't help but touch the back of his head.

Also a flat head.

Manchus have flat heads for the purpose of looking good and appearing wealthy.

Maybe because he was thin, he had none of the four signs of wealth and nobility: a full forehead, a square chin, wide cheeks and a round chin.

The Thirteenth Prince had a round head and looked more handsome than his brothers. He couldn't help but glance at the Fifth Prince.

After gaining weight, his face becomes a bit round.

The Fifth Prince pointed at the Ninth Prince and said, "This is a custom that has been passed down from generation to generation. You want to change it just like that?"

The Ninth Prince wondered, "Why can't this be changed? Is it stipulated in the law or in the Great Qing Regulations? Can't you tell the difference between beauty and ugliness yourself?!"

Fifth Prince: “…”

The wing room was small to begin with, and when the five brothers came in, the room was full.

Xiaochun brought her wet nurse and babysitter, and they were all kicked out of the house.

Seeing this, the Ninth Prince immediately urged, "Just take a look. I won't keep you any food today. I still have to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs..."

It was still early for dinner, and although he didn't want to keep more food, the Fifth Prince couldn't help but kick him when he heard the Ninth Prince urging him, saying, "That's almost it. There are still ten days left. Look capable. Be careful, I'll come to you next time!"

"what?"

The Ninth Prince exclaimed in surprise and looked at the Fifth Prince.

If Fifth Brother hadn't reminded him, he really wouldn't have thought of this.

The Fourth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince looked at the Fifth Prince.

The Fifth Prince then realized that he had let the cat out of the bag, and he coughed twice, saying, "It's fine to go on a northern tour, and follow the escorts to get out of the capital to avoid the summer heat. But the southern tour, or the tour of the capital, the time is uncertain, and it will be very painful."

A group of people came out of the Ninth Prince's Mansion.

The Ninth Prince was escorted out of the palace, and the Thirteenth Prince was left behind: "I will go into the palace with you later..."

Although the Fifth Prince reminded him, the Ninth Prince did not intend to slack off on his job.

He is the capable Ninth Prince, and he must show his true abilities first.

As for if he comes to me again next time, I'm not afraid. It's a good opportunity for me to go to Jiangnan a few more times and think about other ways to make money.

Although it is hard to go out, it is not bad if you have a purpose.

The Thirteenth Prince agreed, and the others went home.

The Ninth Prince wanted to see Shushu and say a few words to stop her from worrying about him, so he said to the Thirteenth Prince, "Wait for me in front. I'll tell your Ninth Sister-in-law that she will probably have to stay in the Imperial Household Department for half a day this afternoon..."

The Thirteenth Prince responded and watched the Ninth Prince leave before taking his seat again.

He thought of the fat nephew he had just met, and also of Guarjia Gege's pregnancy.

Whether it was the eldest son or the eldest daughter, it was not what he wanted, but seeing that it was ripe, he also had some expectations...
