Quick travel: the leisurely life of cannon fodder

Hongxu sighed and said fortunately he had younger brothers and sisters to play with.

Daily events like this became more and more obvious as the young princes of Hongxu grew up, and every day was a battlefield of vying for favor.

However, although the young princes competed for favor, they had a very good relationship with each other.

During these years, the Eighth and Ninth Concubines became pregnant twice more, both giving birth to twin daughters, so the Eighth and Ninth Princes also had ten legitimate daughters.

All of Li's daughters were taken to the main courtyard by the Fourth Prince and raised well by the Fourth Lady.

Li didn't take this matter seriously at first. After her health recovered, she tried every means to pester the Fourth Prince to give birth to a son.

But how could Fourth Prince Yinzhen let Li have her way? He gave her a sterilizing drug early on and rarely slept with her.

In the past few years, Li was almost driven crazy by the idea of ​​having a son.

The Fourth Prince was quite caring towards Li because she had given birth to so many princesses for him.

In recent years, the struggle for the throne has become increasingly fierce.

Apart from being more tolerant towards his son Yin'e, who was still as careless as ever, Kangxi now began to use tricks against the other princes to make them check and balance each other.

In this life, the Fourth Prince was more active in his work because he had too many daughters, hoping to find a good husband for each of his daughters. His excessive enthusiasm also made Kangxi jealous.

In the past few years, Mu Xi also used an artificial uterus to cultivate a set of quintuplets, three boys and two girls.

After Mu Xi gave birth to this baby, Yin'e immediately asked the imperial physician to prescribe a sterilizing medicine suitable for men, and then secretly boiled it and drank it.

Mu Xi knew that she was both touched and angry!

After Kangxi knew about this, he got furious at Yin'e for the first time. In the end, Hongxu brought his brothers to Kangxi to plead for mercy. Kangxi let Yin'e go because Yin'e already had ten legitimate sons and three legitimate daughters.

During these few years, the prince became increasingly arrogant, extravagant, lustful and greedy.

Mu Xi now lives a very leisurely life in the palace. All ten sons have gone to school in the palace, and Mu Xi doesn't need to teach her three daughters. Now the account book affairs in the palace are all in charge of Mo Yaqi, and Mu Xi has started her retirement life in advance.

That day, Mu Xi prepared dinner early and waited for her son to come back. Hongxu and others had half a day off today.

Mu Xi’s eldest son is already over ten years old.

At this time, ten handsome young men, dressed in green brocade robes, came slowly with smiles on their faces. Their steps were steady, their eyebrows were like dragons and their eyes were like phoenixes. They had extraordinary bearings and looked very noble despite their young age.

Hongxu and his brother greeted each other and said, "Son greets mother!"

Mu Xi smiled and said, "Hurry up and get up. Today, mother personally prepared your favorite dishes. Come and sit down and eat."

Hongxu smiled and sat down with his brothers.

At this time, Mo Yaqi came over with her sisters Hai Ho Na and Ge Fu He. After greeting Mu Xi with a smile, she said, "Mother is partial. As soon as my brother and brothers came back, they forgot about their daughter."

Yin'e sat beside Mu Xi and said with a smile, "Your mother has not only forgotten her daughter, I'm afraid she has even forgotten her husband."

Mu Xi scolded with a smile, "Okay, we're all hungry, sit down and eat."

Because now Hongxu and others have gone to the palace to study, and they only come back one or two days a month.

So every time I come back, the whole family sits together, talking and laughing while eating. There is no rule of not talking while eating, and every family dinner is very warm.

Hongxu smiled and said, "Mother, the Emperor is going to tour the border areas again, and this time he will take his sons with him.

Mother, are you going? If you want to go, ask your father to go to the emperor and ask for a place.

It seems that the Royal Family has no intention of taking Ama with them this time."

When Mu Xi heard this, she thought that this was the first time the crown prince was deposed since the tour outside the Great Wall.

Now that all of my sons have left, I am worried about staying in the capital, even though my sons are all very smart.

Also, now that cement roads are paved, riding in a horse-drawn carriage on the way to the parade is not so bumpy anymore.

So Mu Xi said to Yin'e, "Master, please go and ask the Emperor, I want to go out and play this time too."

Yin'e smiled and replied, "Okay, I'll go tomorrow and make sure I complete the mission."

Then the family talked about other things. A warm family dinner passed.

In the evening, Mu Xi and Hong Xu were the only ones left in the yard.

Mu Xi looked at Hong Xu seriously and said, "Son, are you interested in that position?"

Hongxu also put away his smile and replied seriously, "Mother, I don't want to lie to you. I really want that position.

But the son wanted to protect his family, no matter which uncle came to power in the future.

Although our family did not participate, we are a large family with a lot of wealth and will definitely be suppressed.

My son also wants to strike first, and he may not lose."

Mu Xi sighed as she looked at her somewhat arrogant son and said, "Pingping, I know what you said, and I support your idea.

Mother doesn't blame you, but you have to listen to me. You are now studying with Huang Mafa regularly, and you can also show your talent.

But you can't show any thoughts about that position. And you can't do anything to those uncles, understand?

You, Huang Mafa, are a long-lived person. What you need to do now is to lie low and watch the fight between the tigers. Do you understand?"

When Hongxu heard this, he was shocked. He thought that he had been a little impetuous recently, or his mother was really smart.

Hongxu nodded seriously and said, "My son knows what my mother taught me."

Mu Xi nodded with relief. Ever since she learned about Hongxu's unusual behavior from the system, she was afraid that her son would not listen to her advice.

Mu Xi continued to instruct, "Mother has cleaned up all the things you have done recently.

Now you have to learn to be a capable, talented, filial grandson of the Emperor, but indifferent to power, do you understand?

The rest will be taken care of for you."

Hongxu was a little shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that his mother even knew this. It seems that his mother is the most secretive person.

Hongxu nodded.

Then Mu Xi chatted with Hongxu for a while and let Hongxu go.

Fortunately, there is a system monitoring the surroundings, otherwise I would not dare to say so much to Hongxu.

At this time, Yin'e also came back slowly.

Smiling, he asked Mu Xi, "What are you talking about with Hong Xu? You can't even let me know."

Mu Xi smiled and said, "There's nothing to talk about. I just asked about my son's recent academic performance. It was you who wanted to watch Mo Yaqi paint. I didn't ask you to go out."

Mu Xi didn't plan to let Yin'e know about Hongxu's bid for the throne so early, otherwise this fool would be so worried that he wouldn't be able to sleep well.

Yin'e didn't think much about it when he heard this, and continued to stick with Mu Xi.

Yin'e half hugged Mu Xi and said, "Fujin, you only cared about your son tonight and ignored me. Do you want to make it up to me?"

Mu Xi glared at Yin'e. He relied on the fact that he had drunk the sterilizing medicine and found all kinds of excuses to exploit her every day. If she wasn't afraid of scaring Yin'e, she really wanted to use an artificial womb to cultivate another child. She told him with facts that even if he drank the sterilizing soup, your wife could still give birth if she wanted.
