Chapter 1986 Ready to make a move
By the time the two brothers entered the city, it was almost noon, so they went straight home.
"Neither the Fifth Brother's family nor the Ninth Princess went to Haidian?"
When Shushu heard the Ninth Prince mention the incident in Haidian, she felt a little worried.
They didn't go with them because their children were still young and the weather was not hot yet, so they thought about waiting before going.
The Ninth Prince said: "Yes, they haven't been there yet..."
Shushu thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs tomorrow to report and ask them to clean up the yard. Let's go there early!"
If there are many people, there is no need for the couple to "add icing on the cake"; if there are few people, "entertaining parents with colorful clothes" is also a filial piety.
The Ninth Prince nodded and said, "Alright, Little Eighteen is in the garden with the Queen, we can pick him up and let him kiss her more..."
Since he was planning to go to Haidian, he also planned to tell the Tenth Prince.
"Let Old Ten and the others go over there too, and spend more time with Concubine Duanshun..."
Brother Ninth said.
Because Concubine Shuhui raised the seventeenth prince, there have been some rumors in the palace in the past two years, asking whether Concubine Duanshun would also raise the prince.
The Ninth Prince had his own selfish motives, and said to Shushu, "Even if the earlier rumors were false, Concubine Duan Shun did not have Concubine Yi Jing's private money, only her own share, and the amount would not be less."
Rather than letting this private property fall into the hands of others, the Ninth Prince would rather let it fall into the hands of the Tenth Lady.
Shu Shu said, "Isn't it said that the bulk of Grand Imperial Concubine Yijing's private property is in the hands of Prince Zhuang's wife?"
Prince Zhuang's wife was the granddaughter of Consort Yijing and Ligdan Khan.
Before she remarried Emperor Taizong, Grand Noble Consort Yijing was the first wife of the last Great Khan of Mongolia, Ligdan Khan, and held his private property.
The Ninth Prince shook his head and said, "The eldest son should still be in the palace. At that time, Abunai and his son were still alive. How could the Grand Concubine give all her private property to her granddaughter?"
When mentioning this, we have to mention the "Chahar Rebellion" in the 14th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign.
The "Three Feudatories Rebellion" was raging at the time, and the elite Eight Banners had almost all been deployed, leaving the capital short of troops.
The Chahar tribe outside the capital wanted to break away from the imperial court.
The leaders of the rebellion were Abunai's two sons, grandsons of Grand Noble Consort Yijing and grandsons of the Empress Dowager.
However, the rebellion lasted only a month before it was quelled by the imperial court, and Abunai and his son died one after another.
The direct bloodline of the Mongol Khan was cut off.
"The Tenth Brother's wife is not short of money, and she is also truly filial to the Concubine..."
Shu Shu said.
It is not easy to marry far away, so the Tenth Lady is close to and dependent on the Concubine Dowager, her only relative from her mother's family.
The Ninth Prince whispered, "Khan Ama is kind to the weak. The Nineteenth Prince and the Twentieth Prince are of low birth. We must always be on guard against Khan Ama's plans for the youngest son..."
Shu Shu: "..."
What a filial son.
It turns out that the person he was on guard against was not someone else, but his father, the Emperor Kangxi.
It's really possible.
The Tenth Prince has a high title, a noble family background, and has the private property of Empress Xiao Zhao and Consort Wen Xi on hand. It is not surprising that Kangxi wants to "equalize the rich and the poor"...

Prince Cheng’s Mansion, main house, west side room.
The Third Lady looked at the birthday gifts sent from various mansions without a smile on her face.
If she had to choose, she wouldn't want to accept any of them.
"Put it on the register and store it in the warehouse..."
The Third Lady waved her hand and asked people to carry him away.
The birth gift for a bastard is nothing more than a necklace and bracelet, nothing special.
She looked solemn, thinking about how to make the Third Prince change his mind and not send the Youngest Prince to the farm.
It's okay if it's a princess, her biological mother can take her away, but if the little prince is sent to the farm, if anything goes wrong, it will be my fault.
At this moment, the Third Prince came in, pulling aside the curtain, and said, "Tell someone to pack up. We'll move to Haidian tomorrow."
The Third Lady was startled when she heard this and asked, "Why are you going to Haidian?"
If you had planned to move earlier, shouldn't you have moved together today?
The Third Prince had been running around all morning and was thirsty. He poured himself a cup of tea and drank it before saying, "When Khan Ama got off the carriage today, he held Wei Zhu's arm..."
The Third Lady still didn't understand and asked, "Isn't it normal to help people get on and off the bus?"
The third prince shook his head and said, "Khan Ama would not help me earlier."
The Third Lady thought for a moment and said, "The Emperor is also fifty years old, so it's normal for his legs to be numb from sitting in a carriage."
In that case, it would be less convenient to get on and off the bus.
That is to say, in the royal family, the emperor looks young because he is well maintained. If he were in an outsider, even if he is in his fifties, he would already look old, not to mention his white hair and beard.
The Third Prince nodded and said, "Yes, Khan Ama is fifty years old. Not only has his physical strength declined, but his ideas are also different. In the past, he would not gather all the princes in front of him, but now he likes to greet people..."
Not only does she love to be nostalgic, she also loves to stick with her son.
The third prince felt that he should be more filial.
When people get old, what they fear most is loneliness. Sons like them should stay with them more often.
Especially the emperor’s grandchildren.
Khan Ama had never mentioned his grandchildren before, nor had he taken the initiative to get close to them, but who knows what will happen in the future?
Hong Sheng cannot enter the Imperial Study, which means he has less qualifications and connections than his older brothers. If he had the chance to go before the Emperor, he might even be able to get some grace.
As for the rule that a family can only send one imperial grandson into the palace, the rules are dead, but people are alive.
It's just a matter of a word from the emperor.
The Third Lady said, "Did the Emperor order us to go? Then let's go. Whose family is it?"
During the days in Haidian, I spent a lot of time playing cards and chatting with my sisters-in-law, which was a good way to pass the time.
The Third Prince said, "I didn't give any instructions. I just saw that both of the Prince's Residences were empty. The more so, the more we should go there."
The Third Lady hesitated and asked, "Will it be too eye-catching?"
The Third Prince thought for a moment and said, "I'll go find the Fifth Prince this afternoon. No matter what's going on at his family, filial piety shouldn't be left aside..."
With the Fifth Prince in front, it wouldn't seem out of place for them to move over there.
Otherwise, both the prince and the boss would be worried.
Thinking of this, the Third Prince went to the Fifth Prince's Mansion.
The Fifth Prince had just arrived home when he heard that the Third Prince had arrived, and he went out to greet him.
The Third Prince said directly: "I plan to move to Haidian tomorrow, Fifth Brother, please move with me!"
After hearing this, the Fifth Prince looked more conflicted.
The Third Prince was puzzled, "Why don't you want to go? This shouldn't be the case. The Imperial Grandmother loves you the most. Now that she lives in the North Garden, it is convenient for us to show our filial piety. We went every year. Why are you hiding this year?"
The Fifth Prince exhaled and said, "I was just about to move there, but there are some things at home that I haven't settled yet."
The Third Prince frowned and said, "What's so difficult about arranging it? Now that we have a younger brother or sister, she is the one chosen by the Imperial Grandmother and the Imperial Court, then we can just take her over to be filial to the Imperial Grandmother."
The Fifth Prince sighed, and when he thought of the Second Prince, he just couldn't bear to be cruel.
The Third Prince was very disappointed and said, "It seems that your filial piety is limited. You take care of this and that, but you don't care about the Royal Grandmother, right?"
The Fifth Prince hung his head and said, "I am... I am..."
He couldn't tell what he was worried about.
I always feel that leaving the Fifth Lady alone and taking Guaerjia to Haidian is a bit too much; if I take both of them there, it also feels a bit inappropriate.
He understood what the imperial concubine meant when she pointed to the concubine, which was to let the Fifth Concubine be "honored and raised".
But the Fifth Lady had a legitimate son, and he didn't want the Fifth Lady to lose face.
The Third Prince shook his head and said, "You are so indecisive that you will not be able to please others in the last two attempts. You have to be ruthless when you need to be."
The Fifth Prince was feeling uncomfortable, and when he heard the Third Prince's cold words, he felt angry. He looked at the Third Prince and gritted his teeth and said, "Third Brother, it's easy for you to say that. That's my wife, that's my legitimate son..."
Even if the relationship between a married couple is not deep, they are different from others.
There is also his legitimate son, who was the one he had been dreaming about the most, and was born with the expectation of his grandmother and mother.
Seeing the Fifth Prince getting angry, the Third Prince was shocked.
He said awkwardly: "Isn't this just because I have good intentions? I didn't say anything else!"
When the Fifth Prince thought about his eldest son's illness and looked at the Third Prince's innocent expression, he felt even more hateful and wanted to spit on him.
Third brother, how can you be so self-righteous? Don’t you feel guilty? That’s my legitimate son…
These words came to his lips, but the Fifth Prince swallowed them back.
The smallpox epidemic was out of control, and the Third Prince lost a daughter himself.
If you really want to blame someone, you should blame yourself.
The Fifth Prince recalled the scene of last winter and couldn't help but slap himself.
"Snapped"!
He did not spare his strength and the slap was so loud that half of his face swelled up immediately.
"Lao Wu..."
The Third Prince was so frightened that he felt pain on his face.
The Fifth Prince's eyes turned red, and he glared at the Third Prince and said, "When and how to go to Haidian? I will figure it out myself, so please don't worry about it, Third Prince!"
The Third Prince trembled in his heart and regretted coming here.
"Okay, okay... I'm the one worrying about nothing, Third Brother. You can handle it yourself..."
The Third Prince said this and fled in panic.
The Fifth Prince stood in the distance, looking at the Third Prince's back, feeling unspeakable.
The Third Prince walked to the door and could still feel the burning sensation on his back.
He paused, turned his head and looked over, and saw the Fifth Prince who looked like a wooden or stone sculpture.
More than just half a life...
The Third Prince somewhat understood the Fourteenth Prince's guilty conscience in front of the Crown Prince...
