Chapter 1735: Look old at the age of three
At the beginning of the next day, the emperor returned to the palace.
The fifth prince, the tenth prince and the twelfth prince, who did not leave the capital to welcome the emperor, together with the princes of the royal family, the grand secretaries, the minister in charge of the imperial guards, and others, welcomed the emperor at the palace gate.
When the Ninth Prince saw the brothers in front of the team, he felt as if the clouds had cleared and the sun had appeared, and his mind became clear again.
Fifth brother has gained weight again.
Fifth brother has never been a stupid person.
But the fifth brother didn't get involved in anything. Even when he was in charge of the Lifanyuan, he rarely interfered in the affairs of the yuan.
Lao Shi is reckless only when he wants to be reckless.
In fact, as an orphan who lost his mother, the Tenth Prince did not suffer any loss even though he did not have the protection of his father.
The Twelfth Prince's invisibility is more like a form of self-protection.
How could a child raised by Aunt Suma be cowardly and incompetent?
He wanted to smack himself.
Just look at the Twelfth Prince's Qianxi Five Offices, which are strictly managed from top to bottom, and you will know that the Twelfth Prince is not a little prince who will be bullied.
No wonder my wife said before that the twelfth prince was a “talented man”. She must have seen through the twelfth prince’s actions a long time ago.
Does this mean that I have stepped out of the situation and am a bystander?
The Ninth Prince felt inexplicably proud.
The Tenth Prince was also looking at the Ninth Prince, and seeing that he was in high spirits, a smile appeared on his face.
When the emperor entered the Qianqing Palace, the guards dispersed.
The Fifth Prince and the Tenth Prince both ran towards the Ninth Prince.
The Fifth Prince looked him over and asked, "Why have you lost weight?"
The Ninth Prince was already thin. He was troubled by something a while ago and couldn't sleep or eat well, so he lost several pounds. After his worries were gone, he didn't gain any weight back, and it was quite obvious.
The Ninth Prince smiled and said, "The food is not tasty. I will eat some more to make up for it. It is just the right time to gain weight in autumn."
Seeing that he was in good spirits and had not heard of his illness, the Fifth Prince said, "It's good that he is not sick. Don't be so picky about food."
The Tenth Prince was thinking about his bodyguards. The Eldest Prince and the Fourth Prince both loved to take care of their younger brothers. The Thirteenth Prince had always been close to his Ninth Brother. The Crown Prince was a smart man and would not treat his brothers badly in front of the Emperor. The only one left was the Fourteenth Prince, who made him feel uneasy.
He asked in a low voice: "Ninth Brother, was Fourteenth Prince rude?"
The Ninth Prince curled his lips and said, "You've been rude twice, and now I've let you talk back. You're being honest now."
The Fifth Prince and the Tenth Prince both stopped smiling.
The Fifth Prince clenched his fist and said, "Next year the Fourteenth Prince will be a young official, so just wait and see."
By then, he will no longer be a little prince. If he behaves unruly, he will be punished.
The Tenth Prince also had a gloomy look in his eyes. He looked towards the study room in the distance and said, "The Fourteenth Prince is not popular with his brothers, but he is a good brother and uncle to the youngest prince..."
We have to think of a way to let the younger princes and the emperor's grandchildren know the true face of the Fourteenth Prince so that they won't be fooled by him.
Now, except for Hongsheng from the Fifth Prince's Mansion, all the other imperial grandchildren in the Upper Study are inheritors of titles from various families. If these people are really fooled by the Fourteenth Prince, it will be a hidden danger.
The Ninth Prince had a lot to say to the Tenth Prince, but he knew that the Qianqing Palace Square was not the right place to talk, so he said, "I'm going home. Are Fifth Brother and Tenth Brother relieved of their duties now? Or are they still waiting to see His Majesty?"
The Fifth Prince glanced at the Palace of Heavenly Purity, then at the Southern Study, and said, "I don't know if Khan Ama will pass on the message today. Anyway, I still have to be on duty in the Southern Study today."
As soon as the emperor returned to the palace, the chief officials of the six ministries and nine government offices were lining up to see him.
The Tenth Prince also said, "Even if it is not passed on, we still have to wait for the oral order to come down, and we can't disperse until noon at the earliest."
The Ninth Prince glanced at the Tenth Prince and said, "Then let the Tenth Prince see me off. Fifth Brother, go quickly."
The Fifth Prince also knew that the escort was tired, so he said, "Then go home quickly and have a good rest for a few days. Let your sister-in-law nourish you."
The Ninth Prince responded and followed the Tenth Prince out.
The two brothers walked out of the Qianqing Gate and walked towards the Xihua Gate.
Seeing that there was no one around, the Ninth Prince lowered his voice and asked the Tenth Prince, "Has anyone given you any trouble in the past few months?"
This year is the first time that the Tenth Prince has been on duty in the Southern Study since he started working.
The Tenth Prince shook his head and said, "No, the Third Brother is busy with government affairs, the Seventh Brother is not that kind of person, and the Fifth Brother will only protect me."
The Ninth Prince whispered, "The situation is not right right now. The Crown Prince has become a target. We should not get involved, but we should be on guard against being tricked."
The Tenth Prince had a serious look on his face and asked, "Is someone plotting against the Ninth Prince?"
The Ninth Prince shook his head and said, "No, I just watched a few lively events and figured out a lot of things. You come over from the palace this afternoon and we can talk about it in detail and think it over carefully."
The Tenth Prince nodded, thinking of the Eighth Prince.
Among the older brothers, only the Eighth Prince needs to be guarded against the most.
But you also have to be careful about the dark side of the lamp.
You also have to be careful about others dragging Brother Jiu into trouble because of you.
When the Ninth Prince came out of Donghua Gate, the guards and the carriage were already waiting there.
The two brothers said goodbye, one returned to the palace and the other left.
In the South Study, the Third Prince suppressed his excitement and was looking at the question book seriously.
Today is my last day on duty, so I have to end it beautifully.
The Fifth Prince came in and sat down opposite the kang, staring at the Third Prince with straight eyebrows.
The Third Prince looked up and asked, "What are you looking at? Is there something wrong?"
The Fifth Prince knew that the Third Prince loved to ask questions, so he asked, "Did you hear any news when the Third Prince went to greet the Emperor yesterday?"
The Third Prince put down the memorial in his hand, thought for a moment, and whispered, "Wei Zhu was beaten once, but it should be a minor offense. I heard that Khan Ama gave him grace and allowed him to repair the temple after returning to Beijing."
The Fifth Prince was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean? Khan Ama wants to add a royal temple?"
The Third Prince shook his head and said, "No, it's the place where Xiu Weizhu grew up, a shabby temple in Haidian."
The Fifth Prince was not interested and asked, "What about the others?"
The Third Prince thought for a moment and said, "Some of the servants in the kitchen also got angry. Tsk tsk, Maska got the upper hand!"
What he inquired was not true, but he had a vague idea that it was probably related to the Queen Mother. After hesitating for a moment, he did not tell the truth.
Otherwise, if Lao Wu couldn't control his temper and made a scene, it would seem like he was the one causing the trouble, so he would just downplay it.
Maska accompanied the emperor out of Beijing this year, but when the emperor left Rehe, Maska returned to Beijing, otherwise he would have been in trouble.
The Fifth Prince continued to ask: "Anything else?"
The Third Prince knew that he was asking about the Ninth Prince and didn't care about anything else.
He shook his head and said, "Old Nine is so lazy and doesn't take on any tasks. What are you worried about?"
Even if others find fault with the Ninth Prince, they can't find any other faults except his laziness in governing the country.
When you are away from home, all errands are put on hold and there is no room for mistakes.
The Fifth Prince thought about it and realized that this was the truth, and he felt relieved.
*
The Ninth Prince's Mansion.
Shushu sat in front of the dressing table, looking at herself in the mirror.
The Ninth Prince followed the Emperor into the palace, but his luggage had already been returned home.
As the couple got together, Shushu also felt a bit of anticipation and had to put on makeup in front of the mirror.
Seeing that her chin in the mirror looked a little round, Shushu felt a little guilty.
I miss it a little sometimes, but it doesn’t seem to affect my eating and drinking.
Now she is five and a half months pregnant, she has gained weight and started to eat more.
Shushu tried to restrain himself, but he also looked a bit silly and sleepy.
She knew she couldn't do this. If she ate too much in the late stages of pregnancy, she would be the only one to suffer when the baby grew up.
The key point is that delivery is a matter of life and death, and I don’t want to die.
There was a movement at the door, Dong Yue lifted the curtain and came in, saying, "Fu Jin, the master's carriage has arrived."
Shushu smiled and went out to greet him.
As soon as I walked out of the main courtyard, I saw the Ninth Prince striding towards me.
Seeing Shushu coming out, the Ninth Prince took a few quick steps and said, "Stand still. Don't get tired because you are too heavy."
Shushu looked down at herself. She was wearing loose clothes, and her belly was not very big, so she didn't look clumsy.
But she still stood there obediently, looking at the Ninth Prince with a smile.
Seeing her smiling, the Ninth Prince felt relieved. He walked up to her and pulled her hand, asking, "Did the child bother you? Did he hurt you?"
Shu Shu smiled and said, "She's pretty well behaved, but she was greedy a while ago and kept wanting to eat inappropriate things, like crabs and watermelons. I'll eat as much as I can after I'm out of confinement."
Shushu loves to read medical books, and the Ninth Prince has learned a lot about medical principles over the years.
After hearing what Shushu said, he said, "You want to eat something cold, is it because you have a fever? What does the imperial physician say?"
Shu Shu said, "It is true that I ate too much meat during that period, and I had some heat and phlegm. The imperial physician told me to eat a light diet."
The Ninth Prince said, "Then listen carefully to the doctor's advice. When the fourth child is born, I will take you to Tianjin to eat seafood."
Shu Shu nodded and said, "Well, I'll go there when the time comes."
I don’t want to travel far, but if it’s nearby, I can go for a walk.
The couple talked and returned to the main courtyard.
Hot water was already prepared.
When the Ninth Prince finished washing and changing into casual clothes, he couldn't wait to say, "Let's go to Ning'an Hall to see the county lady and Niguzhu..."
Shushu said: "Fengsheng and Akdan are also there."
The couple arrived at Ning'an Hall.
Because Shushu often mentioned the hard work of the Ninth Prince in front of the children, and there was a portrait of the Ninth Prince at home, the children were not unfamiliar with the Ninth Prince.
Niguzhu hugged his legs and said, "Father, Father, Hello, little Ma..."
Fengsheng and Akdan were learning etiquette, but Biniguzhu was much more restrained and behaved honestly.
The Ninth Prince first greeted the Lady Bo with a hug and said, "I am sorry for the trouble you have caused."
Although the two are siblings, because of Shushu and the large age difference between them, the Ninth Prince has always respected the Lady as an elder.
Mrs. Bo patted the Ninth Prince on the back and said, "You've worked hard, Prince."
After the ceremony, the Ninth Prince picked up Niguzhu, looked at Fengsheng and Akdan, and said, "Did you listen carefully to Mama and Enie's words?"
"Have……"
"I heard..."
"I heard..."
The three of them answered obediently.
The Ninth Prince liked his child more and more.
But now he thought more, and an emperor's face appeared in his mind.
Poor Khan Ama, he hoped that his sons would be friendly and respectful to each other, but in reality they were all just putting on an act.
It wasn’t acted realistically before, but now it’s acted realistically.
But... he is not confused, he should know that fake is fake...
Thinking of this, the Ninth Prince looked carefully at Fengsheng and Akdan.
Three years old look old.
As the biological father, the Ninth Prince also saw the personalities of his two sons.
The second one is smarter...
