Chapter 1988 Fisherman
Although the Ninth Prince felt that the Third Prince came here for him to help pass on a message, he did not intend to follow the Third Prince's wishes.
What is he getting involved in this for?
In terms of closeness, he is closer to his fifth brother.
He was kind enough not to join his fifth brother in attacking the third prince.
Because he knew that the one who was in charge would not be happy to have his sons separated by distance based on their biological mothers.
So no matter what you think in your heart, you can't show it.
Otherwise, you won't be well received and will be criticized by the Emperor.
The Third Prince came here in the middle of the day without hiding his whereabouts.
The other families also knew that he had come to the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
At dusk, the Fourth Prince returned from the Ministry of Revenue and heard Fu Nai's report on the matter.
The Fourth Prince thought about the Third Prince's recent activities and suspected that he had come to win over the Ninth Prince, but he felt that he would not be so stupid.
If the Ninth Prince had been alone, the Emperor would not have cared who he was close to or who he was being wooed by; but the Ninth Prince was connected to the Tenth Prince, which made it obvious.
Anyone who dares to win over the Ninth Prince will appear to have something to hide.
On the contrary, it was the case with the Eighth Prince, who grew up with the Ninth Prince and was close to him before they came of age. It could be said that they had a brotherly relationship and nothing else was involved.
Thinking of this, the Fourth Prince was stunned.
When the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince became estranged from each other, he lost his greatest support.
The Fourth Prince breathed a sigh of relief.
He is three years older than the Eighth Prince, but they grew up together.
At that time, he was the "eldest prince of Jingren Palace" and the eighth prince was the "youngest prince of Jingren Palace".
When the Eighth Prince learned to speak, the first words he said besides "Mammy" was "Ahui".
It was only after we moved out that we no longer had the intimacy we had in childhood.
The Fourth Prince did not want to confront the Eighth Prince.
The Fourth Prince breathed a sigh of relief, but the Eighth Prince felt heavy.
Everyone has close brothers. Even the Third Prince can get close to the Ninth Prince under the name of brother-in-law. But he is limited to being the "adopted brother" of the First Prince, and cannot get close to anyone...
*
The Ninth Prince never thought that having a guest at home would stir up such a storm.
Since he had the idea of moving to Haidian, he mentioned it to the Tenth Prince early the next morning.
The Tenth Prince naturally had no choice but to respond.
Just thinking about the small size of the mansion, he said, "When the time comes, we will take the children to Jiusao's manor."
The Ninth Prince nodded and said, "Well, take the children to catch a chicken. When I was a child, I saw a live chicken for the first time in the imperial kitchen, and I was curious."
Thinking that the Tenth Prince and his wife were like him and not sociable, the Ninth Prince said, "Prince Zhuang's wife is kind and kind, and she is still a relative to my sister-in-law. You can get closer to her."
Prince Zhuang’s Mansion has a royal garden in Haidian, not far from Changchun Garden.
Prince Zhuang no longer had any real official duties, so he followed his wife to Haidian.
The tenth prince smiled and said, "Ninth brother doesn't bear grudges."
The Ninth Prince said, "One thing is one thing. Prince Zhuang is annoying, but my aunt is very nice, and the Dowager Lady is also kind. It won't hurt to be closer to her."
Just like them, the couple had always been close to Prince Zhuang's wife, and Prince Zhuang's wife was also very kind to them, and always gave generous gifts in return.
The Ninth Prince didn't want to take advantage, but it would make people feel more comfortable if they didn't suffer any loss in the interpersonal relationship.
When he arrived at the Lifanyuan, the Ninth Prince was bored, so he went to the Imperial Household Department.
The twelfth prince was delighted to see him coming over: "Ninth brother..."
The Ninth Prince didn't bother to be polite with him and directly ordered: "Tomorrow your Tenth Brother and I will move to Haidian. Ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to clean the North Fifth and North Sixth Houses."
The twelfth prince agreed and immediately planned to send someone to pass on the message.
The Ninth Prince stopped him and said, "These two courtyards are not enough. Let's clear out the courtyard on the east side of the back where the princesses live."
Behind the prince's residence in the northeast corner of Changchun Garden, a row of courtyards were built to accommodate the Ninth Princess when she came to perform filial duties, as well as other princesses who were on court missions. They were basically empty.
This reminded me that the children had started to study and were running all over the place, and it was not easy to confine them to the small yard.
Cao Yueying and Cui Zongguan, who are responsible for teaching the children, will also move to Haidian.
It took a lot of effort for the children to get used to studying every morning, and we can’t just move to Haidian and leave it alone.
In this case, a yard is really needed to accommodate it.
The twelfth prince hesitated and said, "Ninth brother, it would be more convenient to clean up the fourth building, right? It's next to the fifth building..."
The Ninth Prince shook his head and said, "It's not convenient."
At that time, the A'geso in the northeast corner was built to supplement the South Five So.
There are a total of eleven courtyards in the two places. From the eldest prince to the fourteenth prince, there is enough space for everyone to live in, even if they all live in Haidian.
After living here for a few years, everyone has come to accept the idea that each family has its own yard.
The twelfth prince said, "Ninth brother, I am not going to Haidian, so there is an empty yard. You can occupy it if you want."
The Ninth Prince looked at him, angrily saying, "You just suffered a loss in the gift of silver, but you still haven't learned your lesson. If you don't get closer to Khan Ama, how can Khan Ama remember you?"
The Twelfth Prince knew that he had good intentions, and the Ninth Prince had also given him advice several times in recent years.
He said with some seriousness: "Ninth brother, the nanny is old and the noble is timid. The two elders just hope that I will be safe and sound."
Now that the Prince's Palace has been built according to the Beizi Palace, he is already getting an advantage. Why should he be dissatisfied?
The Ninth Prince thought about the rumors of the past two years and stopped encouraging the Twelfth Prince. He just said, "Even if you live your own life behind closed doors, you can't be bullied. You should get closer to your sister-in-law. We Manchus have always valued marriages. It won't hurt for you to get closer to Yue's family."
The emperor father did whatever he wanted to his sons, but he was considerate of the dignity of his subjects, especially the old subjects, who were much more dignified in front of the emperor than his sons.
This is also an old saying.
The twelfth prince nodded awkwardly.
He didn't want his family to be complicated, and he was hoping for a legitimate eldest son, but he didn't expect that.
The Ninth Prince did not like others to interfere in his affairs, so he would not interfere in the affairs of the Twelfth Prince. He said, "Didn't you also reserve land in Xiaotangshan? It's time to have someone clean it up. You and the Thirteenth Prince should move out before winter."
He had worked in the Imperial Household Department for several years and knew that it would take the Construction Department approximately one to two months to repair a house.
However, outdoor work was stopped before winter.
In that case, in order not to delay the Eighteenth Prince's move to the palace next year, the Twelfth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince must move in August at the latest.
The twelfth prince nodded and said, "Tell Fu Jin to pack up the dowry."
Now that he was here, the Ninth Prince thought of the plan to raise money for pearl farming, and said, "If you have money that is not urgently needed, you can keep it. I will think about it and come up with a way to increase income. However, it will take a long time, and it will not be as fast as Xiaotangshan. It will take at least three to five years to see the return of money."
The twelfth prince hesitated and said, "Will it be too much trouble for the ninth brother?"
The Ninth Prince shook his head and said, "No, but I guess it's just this time. We brothers are all grown up, so it's not good for us to always get involved with each other."
Anyway, the one who raised pearls was planning to offer his services to the emperor in the end, a few years later, by setting up a sea pearl farm to let the brothers earn some pocket money, and it would not be a benefit to outsiders.
The twelfth prince thanked and said, "Then I'll trouble you, ninth brother."
The Ninth Prince knew that the Twelfth Prince had a fortune of about 40,000 taels of silver. He was unwilling to see him miss this opportunity again, and planned to give him a few tens of thousands when the time came.
The 12th prince was ignored and treated coldly by his father. He watched but did nothing for the 12th prince. He felt a little ashamed and wanted to help the 12th prince to the best of his ability...

Jiubele Mansion, Ning'an Hall.
Shushu is talking to Mrs. Bo about moving to Haidian.
Mrs. Bo didn't worry about these things. She said, "Then let's move. We have to go there eventually. The weather got hot early this year. If we don't move now, we probably won't make it to the Dragon Boat Festival."
Shushu said: "Age Suo is still too small. I don't know when I can build my own garden."
They have two farms in Haidian, one not far from Changchun Garden and the other in Baiwang Mountain.
It’s just that other people didn’t build gardens, and it was not easy for them to do so. There was a farm on the other side of Baiwang Mountain, which was not habitable. In another farm, they dug two fish ponds and raised a lot of fish.
Nowadays, the live fish in the mansion are raised in the family’s fish pond, including grass carp, carp, crucian carp, and loach.
It's okay to go there occasionally for fishing, but it's not a suitable place to live.
Madam Bo said, "You have families to support, and the emperor has seen it all, so it should be soon."
The old-fashioned princes all have royal gardens in Haidian, and there are no fewer princes.
The emperor has always been protective of his sons and would not let them suffer any loss.
Shu Shu said, "Then I'm looking forward to it. Otherwise, every time I go to Haidian to stay at the A-ge Residence, my movements will be under everyone's eyes, which is also inconvenient."
If I had my own garden, it would be convenient for my father and mother to go there...

Haidian, South Second Institute.
After entering the courtyard, Sanfujin felt heavy in her heart and felt a little uncomfortable. She scolded Sange, "Sir, you are such a fool. The six northern residences are all empty, why do you live here? It's not convenient to go several miles to pay respects to the empress dowager."
The Third Prince looked at him and said, "If we move to Beitou, what will Khan Ama think? The older princes have always lived here, so they should just stay here."
The Third Lady frowned and said, "No one has determined which courtyard belongs to which family. The Thirteenth and Fourteenth Princes are still young."
Here in Nanwuso, the families of the eldest prince, the third prince, the fourth prince, the thirteenth prince and the fourteenth prince used to live here.
When other princes came to Haidian, most of them lived in Beiliusuo.
The Third Prince waved his hand and sent the maid away, saying, "Don't be too deliberate. If we go to the North Head House, we will occupy the Fifth Brother's yard. It would be strange if the Empress Dowager would be happy about it. But there is no such rule for living in the Second House."
The Third Lady said, "Then live in the sixth house and take the other end."
The Third Prince shook his head and said, "After the Fifth and Sixth Houses are completed, the Ninth and Tenth Princes will live there. They haven't come yet, but they will come in the summer. It will be troublesome to vacate the yard by then. If we don't, the petty Ninth Prince will definitely remember it."
The Third Lady lowered her eyes, thinking of her deceased eldest daughter, and felt sad.
She already regretted coming to Haidian.
I had thought that the emperor's grandchildren would live here to study, and it would be more convenient to bring them back, but I didn't expect that they would have to live here.
The Third Prince said, "Living here will make it convenient for you to go to Taoyuan Book House. Aren't you close to the Crown Princess? It will be convenient for you to pay your respects to the Crown Princess here."
The Third Prince did not think of his eldest son, but of the Crown Princess.
In the past few years since Concubine Rong was conferred the title of Imperial Concubine, whenever the Third Lady entered the palace to pay her respects, she would go directly to Ningshou Palace with the Crown Princess and the Tenth Lady. For this reason, the Third Lady did seem closer to the Crown Princess.
The Third Lady looked up at the Third Prince and said, "Do you plan to get closer to the Crown Prince? Didn't you want to be the one who reaps the spoils before? Why did you change your mind?"
The Third Prince looked at the Third Lady and thought she was stupid. He patiently explained, "The Crown Prince is the heir to the throne. It is only right that you treat him with respect. I am not a fool. Why are you jumping out at this time? Just listen to the flattery outside. Don't take it seriously."
He wanted to be the fisherman, so there was no need for him to appear on the scene early.
As long as the prince is the prince, he will not move.
He abides by the rules and regulations, and the rules and regulations naturally abide by him. This is his greatest asset.
Establish the heir, the eldest son, the most virtuous...
He is tall and virtuous...
He jumped out so early, like the eldest prince, and was labeled a traitor. What would the Manchu and Han officials think of him?
By then, I will just become a target, or a clam in a quarrel...
