Chapter 2005 Doing the opposite
Six, the main house.
The Tenth Prince and the Tenth Lady were also having dinner.
Looking at the dining table, the couple looked at each other and thought of their rebellious son.
"He looks pretty good. He won't do anything naughty in front of Brother Nine and Sister-in-law, right?"
As the Tenth Lady spoke, she herself felt unconfident.
However, the Tenth Prince, seeing his son being obedient in front of his brother and sister-in-law, said, "He is so well behaved, like a different person. That kid is just doing it on purpose to irritate us."
At the end, he couldn't help but grit his teeth.
It's just a small thing, but it's so smart.
The Tenth Lady was relieved and said, "That's good, otherwise it won't cause trouble for the Ninth Sister-in-law."
This was the first time that the little prince had left her sight since he was born. No matter how relieved she said she was, she was still worried.
The Tenth Prince saw through it and said, "Tomorrow you should come over and sit more often, and help Ninth Sister-in-law look after the child."
"Uh-huh……"
The Tenth Lady agreed immediately...

Qingxi Bookstore.
A family of three was also having their meal.
This is not the first time.
Earlier when the emperor went to Qingxi Book House, the family of three also had dinner together.
The eighteenth prince met Kangxi more often and did not have the fear of his father that other princes had.
Kangxi was also willing to love his youngest son more.
Seeing that the Eighteenth Prince enjoyed everything he ate and had a good appetite, Kangxi nodded and said to Concubine Yi, "He is better than his Ninth Brother. He is not picky about food."
Concubine Yi smiled and said, "There are also some who don't like to eat them. They don't eat cabbage, celery, or coriander, saying that they have a vegetable taste. Now in spring, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has also started to provide bitter melon and shepherd's purse, but they still won't eat a bite."
Kangxi said: "Then eat something else. If he doesn't like it, don't force him..."
At this point, thinking that the Eighteenth Prince would be moving to another palace next year, he said to Concubine Yi, "Please remember everything. When the Eighteenth Prince is assigned a new residence, have the chief eunuch remember it."
Concubine Yi nodded in agreement.
The Eighteenth Prince could already understand what was said and said, "Father, my son doesn't like to eat radishes and cowpeas..."
Kangxi did not nod, but became a little worried.
You can't just not eat any food.
He looked at Concubine Yi and asked, "What does Eighteen usually eat?"
Concubine Yi thought for a moment and said, "Spinach, eggplant, winter melon and gourd strips are the standard dishes. The others are the added vegetables, cucumbers and potatoes, which are also edible."
Kangxi listened and nodded, "That's good, there will always be something to eat."
The regular dishes in the palace are prepared on a monthly basis.
There are several fixed dishes every month that remain unchanged.
It would not be good if the Eighteenth Prince doesn't want to eat it.
Meat is dry and hot in nature. Eating too much of it will not only cause phlegm, but also easily lead to constipation.
Concubine Yi was a little surprised. She smiled at Kangxi and said, "I still remember that the Fifth Prince didn't eat vegetables when he was a child. The Emperor even said that..."
Just now she was complaining about the Ninth Prince being picky about food.
When it comes to the youngest son, it’s different.
Kangxi said: "The Eighteenth Prince is the youngest son, so he is different. Besides, the situation in the palace is no longer the same as before."
In the early days, the local area was unstable, the royal family and princes were powerful, and the imperial power was weak.
In addition to supporting his brothers, Kangxi also trained his sons, intending to use them to balance the power of distant princes.
Now, he has given birth to more than thirty sons, the twentieth prince, and eleven princes of Chengding.
This number is too much.
There were so many that Kangxi himself gave up the idea of conferring a high title on his son.
He somewhat understood why Taizu divided his sons into different classes. Besides the fact that sons were nobler because of their mothers, there were not so many assistant commanders to be divided.
The three sons born to Taizu's queen were divided into Taizu's two yellow flags.
Concubine Yi looked at the carefree Eighteenth Prince and knew that the Emperor's words were meant for her.
Although they are born from the same mother, the Eighteenth Prince's title will not be as high as that of his two brothers.
Otherwise, it would not be a good thing if the three princes became one family.
If you want to be a rich and idle person by then, it will be an eyesore.
Concubine Yi was in mixed feelings, but thinking positively, the current situation was already good.
Earlier, the emperor had made it clear that the ninth prince would also be given a lower title.
She changed the subject and said, "I wonder how the eldest princess is doing in the North Garden? The Fifth Princess was well-behaved when she was young, but the Fifth Prince was naughty when he was young, and caused the Queen Mother a lot of worry."
Kangxi thought of Niguzhu's annoyance and couldn't help but smile. He said, "He is good at making people happy. He is a chatterbox..."
The Eighteenth Prince was eating elephant-eye buns and listening to the Emperor's concubine talking. He became somewhat curious about his eldest niece.
The uncle and nephew met more than a year ago.
For the Eighteenth Prince, it happened too long ago and he had no impression of it at all.
We will see each other soon. I wonder how my niece will make a fuss...

The second south building is the main house.
The food on the dining table has gone cold.
Most of them didn't move.
It was already dusk when the lights were turned on, but the Third Prince still hadn't returned. Mrs. San knew that the Third Prince must have gone back to the Prince's Mansion.
She was so upset that she lost interest in eating.
He abandoned her and the child to Haidian, under the pretext of being filial, while the Third Prince went back home to fool around.
Tian was still in confinement after giving birth, so the Third Prince couldn't go to her place to fool around.
Those are the two new concubines in the backyard.
Girls of fifteen or sixteen are at their most delicate, and they were chosen based on Tian's character.
They all have slender figures and a scholarly air.
It goes without saying that these two will definitely catch the Third Prince's eye.
This was the person chosen by the Third Lady herself, just to give some favor to Tian.
Now the Third Prince spends half a month resting in these two places every month.
The favor was indeed divided, and the Third Lady regretted it again.
This is the man she chose.
He actually shot himself in the foot.
Husband, husband, a husband is a husband within ten feet of his wife.
She was more than 20 miles away from the Third Prince, so what did this mean...

Taoyuan Book House.
The prince is having a meal.
There is a new dish tonight, with red soup and snow-white fish fillets inside, which tastes extremely delicious.
The prince looked at the eunuch who was serving him food.
The eunuch serving the food said, "These are dishes sent by the Empress. The Ninth Prince just sent someone to deliver a few live fish."
The prince took two more bites before picking up other dishes.
The Ninth Prince was a man who loved to take care of things, and it became a routine for him to deliver food to various places in Haidian every year.
Eat people with short mouths, and take people softly.
If the food was produced from the Ninth Prince's own farm, the Crown Prince would have eaten it, but knowing that it was produced from Dong E's farm, he felt embarrassed to take advantage of it.
The prince thought about the age of the triplets and told the chief eunuch: "Go to my private storehouse and pick out two inkstones and a necklace for the princess. Tell them they are my gifts for the three children."
The chief eunuch hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, the eldest prince of the Dunjun Palace is also in Haidian, as well as the third prince and the second princess of the Chengjun Palace..."
The prince frowned when he heard this.
In previous years, he would not care what the two families thought; now, he thinks more.
He let out a sigh of relief. It was nothing to prepare a gift for the Tenth Prince's eldest son, but he was not happy to prepare something for the Third Prince's children.
The emperor father probably wouldn't be happy about it either.
Thinking of this, the prince actually wanted to give it away.
"Prepare three more copies and send them to the Crown Princess..."
The prince ordered.
The eunuch in charge agreed and retreated.
There was more sarcasm in the prince's mouth.
Did he make his father worry too much before?
He was not close to his uncles and brothers, so being a prince made him a lonely man.
My uncles and aunts are fine, they are all sick and we don’t have much contact with each other normally.
Brother, what if we start to get close?
The emperor's father always kept saying "brothers should be friendly and respectful to each other", but he helped the eldest prince to compete with him.
He himself was hypocritical and supported Prince Yu and Prince Gong before his son came of age. After his son came of age, he took advantage of the Battle of Ulan Butong to seize power from Prince Yu and Prince Gong.
This "brotherly love and respect" seems a little ridiculous.
One of the things I am dissatisfied with myself is that I am not friendly to my brothers.
Then I will be friendly and loving...

North Garden.
Bright lights.
Niguzhu changed into a crepe cotton shirt and knelt on the kang, playing cards with the empress dowager.
The fight is about comparing size.
If the cards are dealt cleanly, you win.
Niguzhu was enjoying the game so much that he asked the queen mother, "Mother Wuku, is it fun?"
The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, "It's fun..."
Niguzhu said: "It's so fun, my mother also said so, I often play with her at home..."
