Chapter 1938 Hugging the thigh (rolling around asking for monthly tickets)
When He Yuzhu came in, the Ninth Prince still looked unhappy and asked directly, "What's Li Xu's reaction?"
He Yuzhu said: "I apologized and said that I shouldn't be so self-centered!"
The Ninth Prince snorted coldly, "What a bullshit apology! You will definitely go to Khan Ama to flatter me!"
If that really happens, he should thank God.
Since the grudge between the two was exposed, the emperor would not let Li Xu get involved in his pearl field.
Just now he was three parts annoyed and seven parts taking advantage of the situation just to plug this loophole.
Everyone has different degrees of closeness and distance.
No matter how nostalgic and caring the emperor is about old times, he would not consider outsiders closer than his own son.
Knowing that the Ninth Prince disliked Li Xu, Li Xu had no chance of getting involved in his future business in Jiangnan.
He Yuzhu said: "I guess he will come to see me soon..."
As he said this, he took out a purse with two gold ingots in it. "He is a patient man. I was delivering the message on behalf of the master and was not polite. But the old man was polite in front of the servant and was generous when he was with his money."
He Yuzhu was frightened by Li Xu's arrangement.
If his master were to take the person in without thinking, the peace in the Prince's Mansion would be gone.
For this reason, He Yuzhu also kept Li Xu in mind.
The Ninth Prince said directly: "If he comes, let him go away and don't see him!"
The Fourth Prince happened to come over and heard it all.
The residences of several princes were adjacent to each other, and the Ninth Prince's outburst at the gate of the courtyard just now was naturally seen by others.
The Fourth Prince came over after hearing the news.
"Fourth brother..."
The Ninth Prince was sitting, but when he saw him coming, he stood up.
The Fourth Prince said, "It's not a big deal, just get rid of it, why bother?"
The Ninth Prince said, "I just can't stand his scheme. In name, he is sending a maid away, but is she a maid? I want to expose him and let Khan Ama know that this servant is getting bolder and bolder and is scheming everywhere."
Having said that, he looked at the Fourth Prince with a hint of suspicion on his face.
The Fourth Prince felt uncomfortable being stared at by him and asked, "What are you complaining about again?"
The Ninth Prince said, "With Li Xu's tact, I can send the maids away without leaving Fourth Brother and Thirteen behind. What about the two maids in Fourth Brother's courtyard?"
The Fourth Prince sat down and said, "Sweeping the yard..."
Since the Li family has arranged for you to be a servant, you should just sweep the yard honestly.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
After hearing this, the Ninth Prince couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The Fourth Prince also had a smile on his face, and advised the Ninth Prince, "Just fool him. Why slap him in the face? It may make you feel good for a while, but it will also offend me."
The Ninth Prince said proudly, "So what if I offended him? Who is he? Is he worth my trouble to fool him? I have to make him aware of the situation and avoid me in the future, so that I won't come close to him and cause trouble."
The Fourth Prince sighed and said, "The Fifteenth Prince and the Sixteenth Prince are getting older, and Khan Ama will continue to support the Li family."
Concubine Wang is going to move to Qixiang Palace and has reserved the main seat. She will definitely be promoted to concubine in the future.
Several young princes also need a respectable family from outside the emperor's family.
The Ninth Prince looked annoyed and said, "I still don't believe that the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Brothers still think that their adopted uncle is closer to them than their own brothers!"
The Fourth Prince also went through this age, and in his early years he could not tolerate any injustice, but now that he has seen more, he knows that things in this world are not black and white.
He looked at the Ninth Prince and said, "Li Xu is fine, he is a bondservant. If you don't want to be polite, then you don't have to be polite. When you go to the Lifanyuan, you will be a court official, so you'd better be more gentle."
The Ninth Prince knew that this was a good thing, so he nodded and said, "I know, it wouldn't happen to anyone else, but Li Xu's behavior is despised by others, and when I saw his little trick, I got angry..."
It was already dusk.
The room was dark.
He Yuzhu lights the lamp.
The Fourth Prince did not stay long and got up to return to his own courtyard.
The Ninth Prince saw someone out, stood at the door, looked at the yard on the other side, and then turned and entered the yard.
He Yuzhu was holding a lantern beside him and whispered, "From what I can see, the Thirteenth Master is acting differently now than he did in the early days."
In the early years, he loved to stick to his master, and now he still looks warm and cozy, but there is a difference.
The Ninth Prince exhaled and said, "Yes, it's fine if he's here to eat and drink, but he won't come over at other times because it bothers the Crown Prince."
He Yuzhu whispered, "Then how dare you think about doing business with me?"
The Ninth Prince shook his head and said, "One thing is one thing. He has a high status and is under the Crown Prince's watch. It's not good for him to get too close to the other brothers..."
He knew in his heart that the Thirteenth Prince didn't have too close contact with him, not because he was really alienating himself from him, but because he didn't want to make things difficult for each other.
Otherwise, in the eyes of others, it would seem like the Thirteenth Prince was trying to win over people on behalf of the Crown Prince.
If the Crown Prince also has that idea, then is it better for the Ninth Prince to be close to Yuqing Palace or not?
The Ninth Prince felt unhappy.
In just a few years, so much has changed.
During the 38th year of the Southern Tour, there were not so many concerns between the brothers.
With the addition of a prince in the middle, it seems like things have changed...

In front of the emperor, Kangxi looked at Li Xu and said unhappily: "You are well prepared!"
Li Xu said awkwardly: "It is my fault that I was thinking too much."
Kangxi snorted and said, "Are you anxious?"
Li Xu heard something wrong and knelt down, saying, "I dare not. I do have some selfish thoughts. I think the prince is noble and there is no maid with him this time..."
Kangxi's face was cold, and he said, "Since you know that the prince is noble, you still dare to send anyone to your side. The people who serve in the various mansions, even the fire-making maids, are only allowed to serve after three generations have been sorted out. You are really brave!"
Li Xu's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He said, "My servant...most of the people under my control are girls from honest families..."
Kangxi's expression became more and more unsightly, and he asked, "Is that 'buying a good person for a cheap one'?"
The law prohibits this.
Li Xu hurriedly said, "No, no, she is a girl from a famine-stricken family in Songjiang, Huai'an and other places."
Kangxi pondered and said, "It sounds innocent for the people fleeing famine to sell their children. Is it really so? Can we ensure that there is no fraud in the process? Can we find out the parents and relatives after returning to our hometown? Or is it that the father is dead and the mother is dead, and the uncles are not close to each other? In this case, who can ensure that the person you buy is the same person you sell..."
Li Xu's expression changed.
Kangxi looked at Li Xu and said, "You are becoming more and more courageous."
Li Xu kowtowed and said, "I am guilty. I was careless."
Kangxi did not wake him up immediately. He looked at the top of Li Xu's head and said, "Please think more about the fifteenth and sixteenth princes in your future actions."
Li Xu's back was covered in cold sweat, and he said, "I will obey the master's orders..."
After Li Xu left, Kangxi showed some disappointment on his face and said to Liang Jiugong, "You look down on my fifteenth and sixteenth princes and want to cling to others."
Liang Jiugong said: "I heard that maids were arranged everywhere, which seems to be a common thing."
Kangxi sneered and said, "If you want to cling to someone powerful, you must cling to the thickest one. The others are just to make up the numbers."
Liang Jiugong didn't respond.
Kangxi thought of the Ninth Prince and felt somewhat worried. He asked, "What happened to the Ninth Prince?"
They are just two girls, so if you don't like them, just send them away. Why are you so angry?
Is it possible that he has some unspeakable secret that makes him afraid to have outsiders around him?
Thinking about his son who always likes to think about "health wine" and "health pills", he became a little worried.
Liang Jiugong didn't dare to make random guesses and only told what he knew.
"It is said that Master Jiu loves to maintain his health. He soaks his feet with a medicine bag every night, and the tea he drinks during the day is also a health tea like chrysanthemum and wolfberry..."
"Chrysanthemum and wolfberry..." Kangxi's eyes were a little subtle.
However, thinking that the Ninth Prince already had three legitimate sons, he put his worries aside.
It's not a bad thing for young people to cultivate their moral character...
Li Xu came down from the imperial presence, exhaled, and walked towards the Ninth Prince.
He didn't expect the Ninth Prince to be so rude.
Even the Crown Prince was polite to the Emperor's trusted ministers, but the Ninth Prince showed no respect at all...
