Chapter 1793: Close and Distant
The two have been married for four and a half years. Not to mention that they have a mutual understanding, the Ninth Prince can also see that Shushu is tired.
"Did the child bother you?"
The Ninth Prince looked at Shushu's belly and felt a little distressed.
The baby is already seven months old and has already shown fetal movements. Now is the most active period.
Sometimes Shushu was beaten and kicked, and it was really painful for him.
Shushu shook her head and said, "I'm just thinking about Fengsheng and his two siblings. They'll be four next year, and they still have two years before they start studying in Mongolian. We can't just leave them alone like this forever. Why don't we arrange for someone to teach them Mandarin and Mongolian, and then pick a few older kids to play with them. Running around and jumping around will also help them get stronger."
What exactly does preschool education teach?
This is her knowledge blind spot.
Needless to say, language is a more suitable age.
The rest should be various crafts and games.
The Ninth Prince was originally leaning to one side, but after hearing this, he sat up and said, "How about starting to educate them in advance? Combine learning to speak and learning to read into one?"
He is more serious when it comes to his children's education.
If they learn this well in advance and then go to study and do their homework ahead of their cousins, it will be a good thing for the children.
Shu Shu said: "You can try to recognize some words. Don't force yourself. Don't let it make you hate studying. You should be playing at this age."
The Ninth Prince thought about the people in the Prince's Mansion and said, "Zhang Tingzan is of a high rank. He is just a figurehead in our mansion. I am being polite and don't want him to teach the child. Let Guiyuan be the one. He is also very good at studying. For archery, let Chunlin be the one. However, he has to wait two years and cannot be taught earlier."
Shushu had no objection. The main thing was to liberate herself and the lady of the baron.
Niguzhu was a lively child, and now he was old enough to run around all the time, so Mrs. Bo was a little lacking in energy.
There is a primary school and supervisors in the Beile Mansion, so the lady of the earl can relax for half a day every day.
After talking about his children, the Ninth Prince thought of his glorious achievements yesterday, and told Shushu the whole story from beginning to end. Finally, he said proudly: "It's a pity that I didn't catch up with the Pingzheng War, otherwise I would have followed Khan Ama to conquer, and I would have been a wise general!"
The royal children all grew up hearing about the glorious military exploits of the founding kings.
Who doesn’t have a dream of becoming a great general or king?
Shushu smiled but didn't agree.
One will be a million bones.
Is it so easy to accumulate military merits?
The ultimate result of war is killing.
The Ninth Prince talked about the Buku incident last night and said, "The guy next door, after receiving a few words of support from Khan Ama, immediately became energetic and like a different person. I felt strange watching him. He has indeed had a hard time in the past few years. Not only has Khan Ama lost his respect, but his reputation has also been damaged."
Shushu couldn't help but worry after hearing this.
Even though the two had been estranged for several years, they still had ten years of friendship before their relationship deteriorated.
Now that you feel sympathy for them, are you thinking about getting back together?
"What does your tenth brother say?" Shu Shu asked.
The Ninth Prince sighed, "Let me stay away from him, so that he won't get ahead of me. I've seen his temper. He's rude if you get close to him. If we keep our distance from him, he will be polite and won't dare to offend me..."

Next door, the Eighth Prince’s Mansion, the study.
When the Eighth Prince came back, he lay down again.
His high fever had not subsided to begin with, and after he rushed back and took some medicine, he felt a little weak.
However, he did not rest immediately, but instructed Chen Fu: "Go to the west wing and bring Fu Jin over. Tell her that the master is ill and needs someone to take care of him."
The Emperor's father was the most compassionate to the weak. Now that he was ill and needed someone to take care of him, it was natural for him to let Guo Luoluo leave the courtyard, and he wouldn't mind too much.
Chen Fu agreed and went downstairs to invite someone.
After about a cup of tea, hurried footsteps were heard at the door.
The Eighth Concubine is here.
She didn't even change her clothes, she just put on a cloak, and said with a worried look on her face, "What's wrong, Master?"
Seeing that she cared about him, the Eighth Prince was also touched and said, "It's nothing serious, just a cold."
He thought back to the beginning of his wedding thirty-seven years ago, when the Eighth Lady was just like she is today, with her heart and eyes full of him.
The Eighth Lady's expression remained unchanged, but she wanted to curse in her heart.
This cold wind can be very severe!
This cold-hearted guy doesn't even pretend.
The most selfish and ruthless.
But right now she has no choice.
She knew that the Eighth Prince asked her to come here to show it to the person in the palace.
She came to take care of the Eighth Prince and also to show it to the person in the palace.
When the antipyretic medicine was ready, the Eighth Prince drank it and fell asleep.
The Eighth Lady sat next to him and kept him company.
From afternoon to evening, and from evening to dawn.
The Eighth Lady did not take off her clothes and personally took care of the Eighth Prince's food and daily life.
No matter how long she remained silent, no one in the Prince's Mansion dared to truly look down on her.
After all, in addition to being the prince's legitimate wife, her maiden family is still the Prince An's Mansion.
However, because Fu Cha was kind and considerate in her actions, she was popular among the people and many of them were loyal to her. Someone had already told Fu Cha about the changes in the mansion.
Fucha is now in charge of the internal affairs of the Prince's Mansion. Now that the legitimate wife has come out, who will have the final say in the inner courtyard in the future?
Everyone below was worried.
Fucha's people were worried that she would lose her power as housekeeper and be bullied by the Eighth Lady.
Others were worried that the two wives would start fighting, and they would be caught in the middle and suffer.
Fu Cha was very calm.
She is happy to see this situation.
The Eighth Prince was able to make this decision because of her instigation.
It's just that the method is much more obscure.
For example, during the holidays, after she went out to socialize on behalf of the Beile Mansion, she would mention her embarrassment to the Eighth Prince.
It is not right for others to be close to you, nor is it right for others to be distant from you, as it makes things difficult for both of you.
In this way, social interaction becomes a burden and it is better not to socialize at all.
Every time she came back from the palace, Fucha mentioned that because of her status, she could not talk to other princes' wives, and even her sister, she could not get too close to her in front of others.
After a while, the Eighth Prince knew the difference between the legitimate wife and the concubine. He wanted Fu Cha to replace Guo Luoluo in going out, which would not bring him any convenience, but would be counterproductive.
After a year or two of hard work, the Eighth Prince finally made a decision.
Fu Cha went to the study to copy the Heart Sutra herself.
She didn't want to look down on the Eighth Prince, but it was hard for her to respect him as she watched him behave in a cold manner.
Especially this time, when he pushed the Eighth Prince to release the Eighth Concubine, she could see the Eighth Prince's selfishness.
If the Eighth Prince valued their marriage relationship and sincerely apologized to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor on behalf of the Eighth Concubine, who would not hold a grudge against her?
But the Eighth Prince was so cruel that he really took the Eighth Concubine away.
It was not until he weighed the pros and cons and felt that this would not benefit him that he changed his attitude.
This is not good to be dismissive.
If it is accidentally exposed, it will be a disaster.
Royal wives never divorce, so they cannot really offend the owner of the Beile Mansion, otherwise they will not have a peaceful life in the future.
Fu Cha had been dealing with the Eighth Concubine for four years and realized that she had no ill will towards her.
The idea of letting the Eighth Concubine come out was because Fucha wanted to take a step back and become an insignificant concubine of the prince, rather than following the Eighth Prince's wishes and connecting with clan relatives.
Fu Cha's heart calmed down.
Fude's heart was in turmoil.
The layout of the Eighth Beile's Mansion is similar to that of the Ninth Beile's Mansion. A supporting courtyard is also built behind the Beile's Mansion.
After Fude was separated from his family, he moved here with his wife.
He was not only a guard at the Beile Mansion, but also the "uncle" and received the news almost at the same time as Fucha.
He couldn't help but get anxious, wondering why the Eighth Prince was so confused.
Did he get confused due to the fever and forget that the Eighth Lady was under house arrest?
If the Eighth Concubine comes out, the life of the concubines afterwards will be difficult.
Fude thought so, but it was not easy for him to rush to the Prince's Mansion to question him.
Who can blame him for being the "uncle" who is one level lower than the others? He is also the follower of the Eighth Prince and cannot make decisions for the concubine.
Fu De was too concerned and confused. Since it was difficult for him to support the concubine, he would find someone to support him.
Ma Qi, who was having breakfast, saw his miserable son.
"Father, you can't let the Eighth Master release the Eighth Lady like this. The Eighth Lady is jealous and vicious, and then the eldest sister will definitely not have a good life."
Fude talked about the changes that had taken place in the Prince's Mansion in the past two days, as well as his own concerns.
Although Mrs. Ma Qi loved her daughter, she felt something was wrong when she heard this.
Ma Qi's face was as cold as frost, and he scolded, "You bastard, who do you think you are? How can you, as a servant, worry about the Eighth Prince or the Eighth Lady?"
Fu De was so shocked by the scolding that he said, "Father, you can't look at it that way. We are the concubine's family. If we don't make decisions for her, who else can make decisions for her?"
"What's the boss?"
Ma Qi became even more annoyed and said, "Eighth Prince and Eighth Lady have their own say on what to do. What does it have to do with your sister? As long as your father stands before the emperor, your sister's life will not be difficult. You have been with Eighth Prince for four years, but you haven't figured this out. You are as stupid as a pig. How could I give birth to such a stupid son like you?"
It can be seen that the Eighth Prince often flattered him, and he lost his caution and even failed to distinguish between superiors and inferiors.
Fude was so frustrated that he was completely depressed.
Ma Qi tried his luck and said, "I'll tell you again. Remember every word in your heart. Don't forget it!"
Fu De nodded honestly and said, "Then you talk, son is listening."
"The first rule is that from now on, all matters concerning the Eighth Prince's Mansion must be kept to yourself and not be shared with anyone else. This includes family members. Don't be as talkative as a colander, always gossiping about your wife..."
Fu De wanted to explain himself, saying that they were his family and there was nothing he couldn't say when following his family.
However, thinking about his two elder brothers and one younger brother serving the Crown Prince, the Ninth Prince and the Twelfth Prince respectively, he swallowed the words on his lips.
Ma Qi continued, "Second, you must remember that you are not only a member of the Eighth Prince's banner, but also a guard of the Prince's mansion. No matter how the Eighth Prince treats you, do not confuse the hierarchy and remember who is the real master!"
Fu De was an ordinary man, and was born out of wedlock, so his future was uncertain in his early years.
Now that he is promoted by the Eighth Prince and becomes a guard, he has a promising future and is very loyal to the Eighth Prince.
He lost his composure today not only because of his sisters, but also because he was afraid that the Eighth Prince would repeat the same mistake and be dragged down by the Eighth Lady once again.
Now that he had been admonished, he felt even more ashamed and said, "It was my son's fault. Father had long ago taught me and my brothers that when we serve the prince, we should abide by our status and not violate the rules. But my son kept making mistakes..."
He admitted his mistake honestly, remembered his duties as a son, asked about the health of his father and stepmother, and then left in a hurry.
Ma Qi had already regretted it, and complained to his wife: "When I saw him starting to act stupidly, I should have replaced him with someone else to work in the Eighth Prince's Mansion and replaced him with an outside vacancy."
Madam Ma Qi said, "The fourth son has been in the Eighth Prince's Mansion for four years, and his experience is almost over. This year's plan will have some vacancies by the end of the year. Would you like to help the fourth son?"
Ma Qi waved his hand and said, "It's not appropriate! It's not just Fude, it's also the case with Fuldun and the other three. Their future depends on themselves, so the family shouldn't get involved..."
*
Kangxi loved his son very much.
He was also concerned about his sick son.
When the news about the Eighth and Ninth Prince's Mansions reached the emperor, he knew that both of his sons were blessed with wives, and their wives personally took care of them when they were sick...
