Chapter 1993: Grandchildren (rolling around asking for monthly tickets)
The Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince came with their families and first passed by the South Fifth Office.
The Third Prince was away, and the Third Lady got the news. She was still wondering when Shushu would bring the Tenth Lady over.
Even if he didn't come to see her specifically, he would still go to pay his respects to the Crown Princess.
As a result, by noon, Shushu had not sent anyone over yet.
The Third Lady lost her patience and told the maid beside her, "Go and have a look at what they are busy with."
The nanny responded and went to the North Sixth House.

Changchun Garden, Qingxi Bookstore.
Kangxi was also waiting for the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince to come.
Knowing son Moruo father.
It goes without saying that the Ninth Prince coming here at this time means he doesn't want to go to the Lifanyuan anymore.
I worry if my son is too capable, and I also worry if he is too lazy.
Kangxi wanted to teach his son a lesson.
As a result, when lunch was about to be served, the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince had not yet entered the garden, so he sent someone to check.
It didn't take long to find out that the two brothers had taken their children to pay their respects to the Queen Mother, who had invited them to dinner.
Kangxi looked at the assorted cabbage rolls on the dining table and immediately lost interest in eating.
He ate two pieces of bread, then went out of the Little East Gate and went to the North Garden.
The originally quiet garden was now filled with children's laughter.
"Hehe, I hugged you..."
The child's voice was cheerful and high-pitched.
When Kangxi looked over, he saw a circle of people gathered to the west of the Empress Dowager's palace.
Thinking about the voice just now, it was the voice of a little girl, and Kangxi knew who it was.
Niguzhu...
She likes to move around and is not shy. She plays with the Seventeenth Princess and the Nineteenth Prince...
Kangxi recalled the news from the Prince's Mansion last year.
He did not go to the Empress Dowager's Palace, but went towards the crowd.
Besides Nanny Bai and the eunuchs and maids from the Empress Dowager's palace, the ones who look after the child include Bai Guo, Xiao Song, He Yuzhu, Wang Ping'an and Wang Changshou.
Niguzhu was lying on a peacock, with his fat arms hugging it tightly.
The peacock had been trained since childhood and was not afraid of people, so he let her hold him.
"emperor……"
The first person to notice Kangxi coming was Nanny Bai. Just as she was about to pay her respects, she was stopped by Kangxi.
Kangxi looked at the chubby little girl in red, who was smiling happily with saliva at the corners of her mouth.
This kind of lively energy is not possessed by the little princesses in the palace.
Fengsheng was a worrier, and he was saying to He Yuzhu, "An Da, watch the bird's beak and don't nag your sister."
He Yuzhu was staring at the peacock and did not dare to look away.
Akdan frowned, wishing he could take three steps back, and his nose was wrinkled.
Bai Guo comforted him, "Don't worry, Second Prince. I'm stopping him. I won't let Que'er come over."
The little prince was a foolhardy idiot. When he saw his sister holding a peacock, he wanted to hold another one.
Wang Pingan said, "My dear brother, you are not very strong. Wait until I have finished pressing the bird before you can hold it."
There were a dozen people in total, surrounding a pair of peacocks and a pair of white cranes, making a lot of noise.
The white crane was clever and had already hidden in a corner of the garden, far away from the little demons.
The peacock was a little honest, and was a step late, so he couldn't leave.
"Giggle..."
Niguzhu was holding the peacock and kissing it.
No matter how good-tempered the peacock was, he couldn't bear it anymore. He was lying on the ground, but now he wanted to stand up.
This is a peacock that is about to reach adulthood, about four feet tall.
As soon as he stood up, the little girl couldn't hold on steadily.
Xiaosong was protecting them nearby. Seeing this, he held Niguzhu with one hand and pressed the peacock's neck with the other.
The peacock couldn't struggle anymore, so he lay down again and started to cry.
"Ah...ah...beautiful..."
After hearing this, Niguzhu let go and turned back to hug Xiaosong.
A smart little eunuch came forward and took over Xiaosong's job and continued to hold down the peacock.
Xiao Songben was squatting, but this time he stood up and said, "The eldest princess doesn't want to hold Que'er anymore?"
Niguzhu shook his head and said, "Don't hold it anymore. It doesn't want to. It will cry if I hold it again."
They are a pair of peacocks, growing up together.
When one chirps, the other will follow suit.
The little prince was imitating his sister in holding a peacock, but he was younger and his arms were shorter, so he could only hold the peacock's head.
He was startled by the cry, but instead of letting go, he directly pinched the peacock's beak.
The originally gentle peacock couldn't help but open his mouth.
Since one hand was not enough for the little prince, he used two hands, very excited.
Wang Ping'an and Wang Changshou protected him on both sides, hesitating whether to persuade him or not.
Fengsheng had seen it and said, "Brother, let go quickly. Que'er will be unable to breathe."
The little prince was an obedient child and immediately let go of the bird's beak when he heard this.
Seeing that his sister stopped playing with the sparrow, he stopped playing too and ran to Fengsheng and said, "Brother, this doesn't sound good."
Feng Sheng took his hand, smoothed out his wrinkled clothes, and said, "Let Uncle Shi find you a bird that sings beautifully."
"Uh-huh……"
The little brother nodded obediently.
Kangxi had seen the other three children. Now that they were a year older, they could also look upon each other.
This was the first time he saw the young prince, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances.
At first glance, it was clear that this child looked more like an outsider.
Niguzhu was held in Xiaosong's arms, and he looked up and noticed a group of people around Nanny Bai.
The leader was a middle-aged man wearing royal blue uniform, looking very thin.
The belt is bright yellow, and the lining faintly visible at the cuffs is also bright yellow.
Niguzhu twisted his little body and looked sideways. Xiaosong noticed it and looked over, recognizing the person at once.
It's not about recognizing the appearance, but about recognizing the clothes.
This man was followed by several guards, all of the same age and dressed similarly.
Xiao Song quickly put down the Niguzhu and reminded in a low voice: "Big Princess, that's your Khan Mafa, you have to step forward and salute."
Niguzhu understood and immediately ran over through the crowd.
"Khanmafa, Khanmafa..."
When she opened her mouth, everyone was startled.
Except for a few young ones, everyone else knelt on the ground.
Niguzhu had already run to Kangxi, but did not rush to salute. Instead, he turned around and greeted people.
"Brother, second brother, younger brother, come quickly, this is Khanmafa..."
Fengsheng looked at Xiaosong, and when he saw Xiaosong nodded, he took one of his younger brothers by the hand and walked over.
Those who had just paid their respects to the Empress Dowager were now doing the same thing.
A few younger ones began to greet each other in uneven voices.
"Greetings to Khanmafa, greetings to Khanmafa..."
Whether it is the Qianqing Palace or the Qingxi Book House, it is usually quiet and silent.
Kangxi was a little uncomfortable with the mixed voices of these children.
He had seen Xiaosong's interaction with the children and did not ask them how they recognized him.
"Let's knock..."
Kangxi waved his hand.
Several children got up.
Niguzhu looked up at Kangxi and said, "Khanmafa, have you raised geese?"
She remembered that just now at the gate of the North Garden, the Ninth Prince had pointed out Changchun Garden to her, and that it seemed to be even bigger than the North Garden.
Kangxi was stumped by this nonsensical question. After thinking for a while, he said, "There are no geese, but there are swans..."
"What color?"
Niguzhu asked.
"White." Kangxi replied patiently.
Niguzhu immediately showed disdain and said, "It's not pretty. The peacock is pretty, with many colors."
Kangxi thought for a moment and said, "The colorful ones include pheasants, mandarin ducks and parrots."
Niguzhu took Kangxi's hand without hesitation and said, "Let's go and take a look!"
Kangxi felt his palms were soft, but he did not agree immediately.
Changchun Garden was a place to avoid noise and hold court. Half of the garden was occupied by palace concubines, and the other half was the duty room for officials from ministries and departments. It was also a place for the princes and grandchildren to study, so it was not suitable for children to play.
These children are not naughty, but looking at the little girl's disrespectful look, you can tell that she has never been taught any proper rules.
Seeing that he did not respond, Niguzhu hugged Kangxi's legs and tried to run upstairs.
"Khanmafa, hug..."
Kangxi paused, then bent over and picked up the little fat girl.
The Manchus value "holding grandchildren rather than sons", but for Kangxi, it was just the opposite.
When the prince was a child, he was often held in his arms.
When the prince first learned to write, the emperor held him in his arms and taught him personally, stroke by stroke.
The same thing happened to the Fourth Prince.
He watched these two sons grow up little by little from their cradles.
On the contrary, he rarely sees his grandchildren, let alone holds them in his arms.
The first feeling is heavy, and the second feeling is warm.
Holding a child is like holding a small stove.
Niguzhu's mouth was not idle, and he asked in confusion: "Now that the family has separated, can't we visit each other? But we all came to visit Wuku's mother..."
When Kangxi heard the phrase "divide the family", his heart was moved, and he asked, "You also know the term 'divide the family'?"
Niguzhu nodded and said, "I know. Ama and his tenth uncle separated, and he also separated from his fourth uncle... In the beginning, Ama, his tenth uncle, and his fourth uncle were one family. Later, when we children were born, the house was no longer spacious, so each of us had our own courtyard, living with our wife and children... But we are still like one family..."
Kangxi listened and his expression softened.
This is the right way to teach children.
Similarly, uncles and aunts should not be taught to children too early about the distance between relatives and strangers.
What kind of relationship they have with each other is their own business. To the younger generation, they are all uncles.
As for skipping the Eighth Prince...
Kangxi had no intention of intervening.
When selecting a location for the prince's residence, four mansions were built in the Beiguanfang at once, and Kangxi did not think much about it.
Because they are two groups of princes.
The Fourth Prince and the Eighth Prince are considered the eldest princes in the front, and the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince are considered the younger princes in the back.
Now, if these four brothers were really close to each other, then the one who would be worried would be Kangxi.
The little brother doesn't like to talk at home, but when he sees his sister chattering, he also wants to talk.
He raised his head and said, "No, no... no difference..."
Kangxi looked over.
After all, the little prince was still young and not very familiar with Kangxi, so after hearing this, he refused to continue.
He was a brave man. He did not dodge or evade, and let Kangxi watch him.
Seeing this, Fengsheng took a half step forward, covered half of the little prince's body, and helped explain: "My brother wants to live with his grandson, so he said that he doesn't want to split up the family..."
Kangxi's eyes fell on Fengsheng.
The four-year-old child was not as noisy as the Ninth Prince when he was young, nor was he like the Fifth Prince who only knew how to play. He was actually very steady, with a serious face, looking like the eldest son and eldest brother...
