Chapter 2036 No blessing or misfortune
In the evening, each prince's residence received a message from the guards.
The emperor will return to the capital tomorrow, and the princes will see him off.
After everyone left, the Ninth Prince said to Shushu, "We have to get up early again..."
Shushu thought for a moment and said, "How about I not come back tomorrow and go directly back to the Prince's Mansion?"
I have to go to Prince Xin’s mansion for a banquet on the second day of the New Year, and come back tomorrow afternoon, which is also a hassle.
"What about you? How about going back tomorrow too? No need to go early, you can go back in the afternoon." said the Ninth Prince.
Shushu shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate. Sister-in-law Qi will come over tomorrow and I'll go back the next day."
The Third Princess and her two sisters must be handed back to the Seventh Concubine, and she must also be apologised to.
The death of the illegitimate son affected the reputation of the Seventh Lady.
Even if it was just an accident and not a man-made disaster, the Seventh Lady would still be blamed for failing to take good care of her children and not managing the household properly.
The Ninth Prince waved his hand and said, "Then I'll come back tomorrow. The Tenth Prince will be back too anyway."
The Prince's Mansion is empty, and he would be worried about his wife and children if he goes back alone, so why would he go back?
Shushu thought about it and didn't say anything more.
The next morning, the Ninth Prince woke up early.
Seeing Shushu was about to get up, he pressed Shushu's shoulder and said, "Take a good rest, don't get up and make trouble."
The couple went to bed at four o'clock last night.
Shushu was indeed a little tired.
Nothing was done at that time. The Ninth Prince just took Shushu to translate "Three Character Classic" in the study.
Translated into Mongolian, Chinese, French, Italian and Sanskrit versions.
Shushu felt dizzy and really worried after hearing this.
I’m worried that if the Ninth Prince uses this to teach his children, the children will probably be confused.
Even though this is a good time to learn a language, it is not a good idea to cram it like this.
Thinking of this, Shushu looked at the Ninth Prince and said angrily, "My Lord, you are such a jerk. You know you have to get up early, but you refused to go to bed early last night."
In her dreams, the Ninth Prince always spoke foreign languages.
There was indeed something wrong with the Ninth Prince's condition last night. He was too excited.
The Ninth Prince yawned and said proudly, "I am preparing for a rainy day. If Khan Ama wants to scold me, I will just call in sick..."
Shu Shu: "..."
I really didn't expect this to be the reason.
The Ninth Prince cannot stay up late, and it is very obvious now. There are dark circles under his eyes and his face is no longer rosy.
"Why this?"
Shushu disagreed: "Nothing is more important than my health."
The Ninth Prince said, "It's just some of my little calculations. I don't want to ride a horse, but I still want to continue riding in a carriage. I don't want others to take advantage of this..."
Once you ride a horse, there will be a next time.
Those who are exposed to the wind and sun are the ones who have to endure hardship.
Shushu sat on the kang.
It seems that the Ninth Prince will stick to his "sickly" character to the end.
Whatever.
Now, the storm is coming, it is better to avoid it...
When the Ninth Prince left the courtyard, the Tenth Prince was already there.
The Thirteenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince were also there.
Seeing that Ninth Prince looked unhappy, Tenth Prince couldn't help but worry and asked, "Ninth Brother, are you feeling unwell?"
The Ninth Prince rubbed his temple and said, "The frogs were too noisy last night. I felt sleepy when I walked..."
Now is the transition from spring to summer, which is the breeding season for field frogs, and the frog croaking sounds alternate day and night.
The Fourteenth Prince was standing nearby, and said with lingering fear: "It is quite noisy. There are cats meowing in the palace at this time, and it happens every now and then. The croaking of frogs here is really annoying, and it happens all night long."
He tossed and turned last night, feeling a little regretful.
Next to the South Five Institutes is the Imperial Rice Field, which does not have as much water as the North Five Institutes. Although there are frogs croaking, they are not as loud as here.
The Thirteenth Prince thought of the duck release last year and said, "Let the Ministry of Internal Affairs continue to release the ducks. We can close the windows now, but when it gets hot in a while, we will have to sleep with the windows open, and it will be even more noisy then."
It’s okay for adults, but I guess children can’t bear it.
The Ninth Prince nodded and said, "Yes, we have to release the ducks again this year..."
The Tenth Prince looked at the Ninth Prince and knew that this was not the reason.
The frog croaking sound has been there for a long time, and Sister Jiu has a way to deal with it, which is to nail wool felt in the dormitory to block out the sound.
Now you are talking about this.
When the two brothers got on the carriage, the Ninth Prince said without waiting for the Tenth Prince to ask, "Don't worry, I did it on purpose..."
He whispered the reason: "Khan Ama has gathered the sons together again. I suspect he is angry and wants to scold his sons, but I don't want to be scolded."
I was scolded before, and now I am a father. It would be so embarrassing if I let the children know.
It’s still Shushu’s place. Now she lives with her sister-in-law and brothers and sisters in Haidian. Don’t embarrass herself because of yourself.
The tenth elder brother: "..."
There are more than a dozen princes here, so how could it be Ninth Brother’s turn?
This is not preparing for a rainy day, but more like worrying about something that may happen.
When the brothers arrived at the palace gate, quite a few people were already waiting there.
Including several princes living in the South Five Residences, and the Fifth Prince who had not been seen just now.
Everyone also noticed that the Ninth Prince looked unhappy.
The Fifth Prince looked at the dark sky and said, "Is it because you got up too early? Let's catch up on some sleep in the car later."
The Ninth Prince nodded and said, "Well, I'll go to sleep in the car in a while."
The eldest prince looked at the ninth prince and said, "It's not too hot or too cold now, and this place is next to the imperial horse ranch, so it's time to pick up riding and shooting every day."
The more delicate the body is, the weaker it is.
How can you be afraid of heat in summer and cold in winter?
You should still practice hard to become stronger.
The Ninth Prince begged for mercy, saying, "Brother, please forgive me. If I really have to go to the Imperial Horse Farm to train every day, I will have to stay at home the rest of the time."
The Third Prince looked at the dark circles under the Ninth Prince's eyes and said jokingly, "Is it because you are tired from walking, or something else? Old Nine, you should also think about it. If you want to be healthy, you should cultivate your body and mind more."
He is just like this. He has not returned to the Prince's Mansion for the past few days. He has been resting in the South Second House. After a few days of silence, his complexion has improved.
Having multiple concubines does not necessarily mean you are lustful.
This person who has no self-control and guards one person at a time should also be taught a lesson.
When the Ninth Prince heard the Third Prince's sarcastic remarks, his face drooped.
How can an elder brother be like this, always involving himself in his younger brother's bedroom affairs?
The key point is that this time when he came to Haidian, he did not bring a princess with him, only his wife. It would be frivolous to talk like this, as if his wife did not take care of his health.
He looked the Third Prince up and down and said, "I was just about to say that Third Prince looked good, but you said this. Tsk tsk, it seems you still have to get through this difficult time..."
The Third Prince couldn't bear to hear this, and hurriedly said, "Old Nine, don't say anything. Why are you cursing people when nothing is wrong?"
The Ninth Prince rolled his eyes and said, "Good fortune and bad luck come from nowhere, they are brought upon oneself!"
The Fourth Prince was standing nearby, touching the rosary on his wrist, and understood what the Ninth Prince meant.
The mouth is the door to fortune and misfortune.
The third prince committed a sin of speech.
The Eighth Prince was standing nearby, he glanced at the Third Prince, then at the Ninth Prince.
He had long seen through the Third Prince's intention to win over the Ninth Prince, but the Ninth Prince clearly looked down on the Third Prince.
This is better. He does not want the Ninth Prince to get involved, as the situation will become uncontrollable because the Tenth Prince will stand side by side with the Ninth Prince.
The Third Prince was well-read, so he naturally understood what the Ninth Prince meant. He said unconvincedly, "It's really a big deal. Why are you still suspicious?"
Like a woman, he gets angry if something he doesn't like is said.
The Ninth Prince snorted lightly, looked away, and ignored the Third Prince.
The Third Prince wanted to say something, but the Tenth Prince gave him a cold look.
The Third Prince held back his words.
Everyone fell silent.
The Fourteenth Prince saw this and sneered in his heart.
The Third Prince is still the same as always, bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
There is nothing to say about the Tenth Prince's attitude towards the Ninth Prince.
I am not afraid of offending the Ninth Prince. Although the Ninth Prince is narrow-minded, he is not cruel. But it is hard to say about the Tenth Prince.
Similarly, it is not difficult to win over the Tenth Prince, as long as you can win over the Ninth Prince.
Seeing that no one was talking, the Third Prince felt uncomfortable. He coughed lightly and said to the Fourth Prince, "Khan Ama has been so gracious that he has granted several talented people the status of Jinshi and allowed them to become Palace Scholars."
The Fourth Prince remained silent.
He is just a great scholar in name only.
If he had real talent and knowledge, he would not have failed the examination.
The three people who were given grace were selected as Juren. One was a close friend of Nalan Rongruo, one was recommended by Li Guangdi, and one had been in the inner court for many years and was favored by the emperor.
Although this grace did not occupy the existing Jinshi quota, the Fourth Prince did not agree with it in his heart.
This set a precedent and provided a way for intellectuals to gain advancement through personal gain.
The Third Prince was still chattering, saying: "These three talents, one is good at painting, one is good at calligraphy, and one is good at poetry. They have long been famous, but they are just unlucky..."
Everyone else was listening in boredom, except the Eighth Prince, who was moved.
These three people were personally selected by Khan Ama. After taking part in the palace examination, even if they are only in the top three, they should be admitted to the Hanlin Academy as Shujishi.
Although they are both Beile's mansions, the Ninth Prince's Beile's mansion has two Dianyi to accompany him to study, while his own Beile's mansion still has a vacancy for Dianyi.
Behind He Zhuo is Li Guangdi, who will soon join the cabinet...
With the sound of a whip, Kangxi sat on a sedan chair and left the palace gate, then got off the sedan chair and changed to a carriage.
Everyone knelt to welcome the Holy One.
Kangxi got on the carriage and looked at the princes in front of the ministers, his gaze paused on the eldest prince.
The eldest prince noticed something but did not look up.
He no longer gets elated for days just by receiving a few words of praise from the emperor, but instead thinks about the intention behind the praise.
This morning, the princes came to see him off, but the crown prince was not seen.
When the ministers saw this, they would inevitably speculate that the prince was rude.
But is the prince really rude?
The eldest prince's heart was as calm as water.
When the holy carriage set out, everyone mounted their horses and followed.
The Ninth Prince took the Tenth Prince and quietly retreated, and still got on the carriage.
"I'm sending him off today. Do I need to pick him up again after the palace examination in a few days? Why is Khan Ama acting like a child..."
The Ninth Prince couldn't help but whisper to the Tenth Prince, "There are people who can't leave their parents, but I've never heard of anyone who can't leave his son?"
At this point, he thought about the imperial tours in the past few years and found something strange: "Why hasn't the crown prince missed one in the past few years? What's going on? He usually has more attacks. What does this mean? What about staying up all night?"
The Tenth Prince blinked.
Almost all the sons of the Hesheli, Tong, and Niuhulu families were cleared out of the Imperial Guard and the Army Guard Camp.
Khan Ama is old...
Why is Shenwu Gate called Shenwu Gate?
