Chapter 1996 Anger
Kangxi had another meeting with two ministers of the Ministry of Rites in the afternoon, so he sat for a while and then stood up to say goodbye.
Seeing that the empress dowager's eyelids were a little heavy, Kangxi ordered the ninth and tenth princes: "You should go back too!"
The two brothers responded.
Niguzhu was overjoyed at first, but now that he saw his father and Enie were leaving, he pulled the Queen Mother's hand and said, "Mother Wuku, I have to go back first. I haven't told Mama yet. Mama doesn't know that I'm here, so I won't leave."
The Queen Mother knew that she was talking about Lady Bo, and she also knew that Niguzhu had been raised by Lady Bo since she was born. She nodded and said, "Good child, it's time to go back. There's no need to rush back."
"Um……"
Niguzhu thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll come back after lunch break. You should also have a good sleep."
"Okay, okay, Mother Uku will sleep well..."
Only then did Niguzhu put down the Queen Mother's hand and looked at the elders, his gaze moving between Kangxi and the Tenth Prince.
Kangxi looked amused and raised his eyebrows.
Shushu was standing behind the Ninth Prince, and seeing that Niguzhu was still trying to make a scene, she gave her a knowing look.
When Niguzhu saw this, he immediately ran to the Tenth Prince, hugged his thigh, and said, "Tenth Uncle, hold me, my feet hurt..."
The Tenth Prince immediately picked him up.
Kangxi then realized that the fat granddaughter was picking people to hold. When she saw the Tenth Prince, she wanted to kick him. Why did she move her hands so quickly?
Fengsheng and Akdan didn't need anyone to hold them, so the Ninth Prince picked up the younger prince.
The two families followed Kangxi out of the North Garden.
Kangxi did not ride in a sedan chair, but came on foot.
When he passed by the prince's residence, he stopped, looked at the child again, and instructed the Ninth Prince: "Find a time, remember to take the child to pay respects to your mother..."
At this point, seeing the expressionless Tenth Prince standing beside him, Kangxi said, "The Tenth Prince should go too!"
After the Tenth Prince lost his mother, Kangxi did not choose another adoptive mother for him because of her noble status. Concubine Yi was in charge of palace affairs and took care of him.
The Tenth Prince was startled, then bowed and said, "Son, I accept your order."
Kangxi then turned around and led the eunuchs and guards to the Xiaodong Gate.
The families of the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince were not in a position to leave immediately, so they stood in the corridor and watched the imperial carriage go away.
Only after seeing Kangxi and his entourage enter the Xiaodong Gate did everyone move.
"call……"
The Tenth Lady let out a long sigh.
She shrank for a long time like a quail.
Although Kangxi did not scold her, she knew that it did not mean he was satisfied.
Seeing this, Shushu said nothing.
Knowing fear is not a bad thing.
The Ninth Prince shook his eldest nephew in his arms and said, "This is too light, not even half as heavy as the Niguzhu. If he eats with his two brothers this time, he will definitely become fat and plump."
The youngest prince hugged the ninth prince's neck, laughing as he was shaken, and even imitated him: "White and fat..."
The first place has been swept and dusted, which is different from the second and third places.
The Tenth Lady took Shushu's arm and said, "Fifth Sister-in-law should be here soon. Then we can go and play cards with the Empress Dowager."
"Um……"
Shushu nodded, but felt that the Fifth Lady would not come.
Her son is still young. If she brings him here, everyone will live next to him and the child will have to show up in front of others.
I guess I will "take sick leave"...
In that case, the one coming is the Guwalgiya clan.
Who doesn’t like a beautiful and smart woman?
It’s just that their identities and positions are different, so Shushu and the Tenth Lady would not associate with Guaerjia to avoid embarrassment.
While they were talking, they arrived at the gate of the Fifth House. The Tenth Prince put down the Niguzhu and reached out to take the Youngest Prince.
"No!"
The young prince turned around and refused firmly.
The Ninth Prince said, "I will go home directly. You can go back first. We will meet at the door in two quarters of an hour."
They brothers have to go back to the city.
The tenth prince was very lucky and discussed with Shushu: "Why don't we take Fengsheng over to save his sister-in-law the trouble of taking care of the child alone."
Niguzhu has been given a lot of space in the North Garden, and now this naughty kid of his has come here to cause trouble.
Shu Shu shook his head and said, "No need. Let the three brothers keep each other company. They can relax for just one afternoon. Tomorrow morning, we will listen to the teacher's class and let the little brother follow suit."
The Ninth Prince said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense. If you are worried that your sister-in-law will suffer, just ask your brother and sister-in-law to come over more often. It will be more convenient even if there is a wall between them."
The Tenth Prince nodded and went home with the Tenth Lady.
Shushu and the Ninth Prince also brought their children into the fifth institute.
The lady of the Bo family was in the back room. In the east wing of the backyard lived Xiaochun and the little prince, and in the west wing lived Huijie.
The east wing of the main courtyard belongs to Fengsheng, and the west wing belongs to Akdan.
With the new little prince, Shushu discussed with Fengsheng and decided to let Fengsheng live with him.
The little brother could not walk steadily, but he was very clingy and called "big brother" very clearly.
After settling the three little boys in the main courtyard, the couple took Niguzhu to the back room.
Mrs. Bo was helping Hui Jie'er string beads. When she saw the couple come in, Hui Jie'er stood up and stood by their side.
Niguzhu turned around from behind Shushu and smiled at Madam Bo and Huijie.
Madam Bo looked at Sister Hui and said, "Go back and have a rest."
Hui Jieer responded, apologized to Shu Shu and the Ninth Prince, and retreated.
Niguzhu was already standing next to the lady, but he was not in a hurry to speak.
Although she spoke a lot, she also learned the rules and was not allowed to interrupt when adults were talking.
This is when I saw my parents were about to talk to Mrs. Bo.
Shushu mentioned the visit to the North Garden to pay respects and have dinner, as well as the questions Kangxi asked Niguzhu.
Mrs. Bo looked normal, but there was worry in her eyes as she looked at Niguzhu.
Niguzhu immediately grabbed her hand and said, "Mammy, Mammy, Mother Wuku is so pitiful. She has such a big house and such a big garden, but she doesn't even have a friend..."
Mrs. Bo: “…”
Shushu couldn't help but feel scared, fortunately she didn't make such a noise in front of the emperor just now.
Niguzhu continued, "Mother Wuku loves me very much. When she heard me say that I would take her fishing and picking eggs, she started thinking about it..."
At this point, she stretched out her chubby little hand and gestured: "I will only accompany Mother Wuku for two days, and I will be back in two days..."
Mrs. Bo was extremely worried, and it was not easy for her to say anything at this moment, so she patiently taught him: "Then you should be good, don't be picky about food, don't ask for food actively, and speak softly to Mama Wuku..."
Niguzhu nodded, then shook his head, with a troubled look on his face, and said, "But Wuku's mother speaks loudly, and everyone speaks loudly to Wuku's mother..."
Mrs. Bo was stunned and looked at Shushu.
Shu Shu nodded.
No matter how pampered she is, the empress dowager is over 60 years old and has started to become a little hard of hearing in the past two years.
She is hard of hearing, so she speaks loudly involuntarily, for fear that others may not be able to hear her clearly.
Those who often came to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager also noticed the change in her and raised their voices.
Madam Bo looked down at Niguzhu and said, "Then just talk as usual. I see that Mother Wuku is tired and doesn't want to chat anymore, so you can play by yourself."
Niguzhu has a loud voice.
"Uh-huh……"
Niguzhu nodded and said, "I'll take my little tiger with me!"
These were the little ceramic tigers that the Ninth Prince brought back from Jiangnan some time ago. There were a total of twelve of them in a set, and the Ninth Prince divided them among the children.
Fengsheng's three siblings and the little prince each had three.
"tiger……"
The Ninth Prince remembered something. Last year, the Ministry of Internal Affairs added a new Tiger City to the northwest of the Imperial Horse Farm.
The few tigers originally raised in Nanyuan Paddock were moved here, and a few tigers were sent over from Mulan Paddock, too. In total, there were more than ten tigers, big and small.
"When I'm free in a couple of days, I'll pick you up and take you to see the big tiger..."
The Ninth Prince said to Niguzhu.
Niguzhu said happily: "Then I want to ride a big tiger..."
"Ha ha……"
The Ninth Prince didn't dare to agree.
A tiger is still a tiger. Even if it is kept in a cage, it will never become a house cat.
Riding a tiger, this is really a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger...
Niguzhu thought of Hui Jie'er who had just gone out, and said to Madam Bo, "I will go to accompany Mother Wuku, and let Sister accompany Mama first. I will leave the sachima for Sister to eat."
Mrs. Bo nodded and said, "Okay..."
Shushu said to Niguzhu: "Have a good nap, and I'll take you to see Mother Wuku later..."
Niguzhu responded obediently, saying, "Enie should also have a good nap, and Ama should also have a good nap."
Shushu and the Ninth Prince came out from the backyard and returned to the main room.
The Ninth Prince drank a bowl of tea and said to Shushu, "There is no rush to go to the Empress's place. Wait until I move the matters of the government office over. As for the Crown Princess, when can you and your sister-in-law go to pay your respects?"
Shushu thought for a moment and said, "Don't delay too long. Let's go after sending Niguzhu off. I also need to go and see my third sister-in-law..."
The Ninth Prince nodded and said, "I'll leave Zhou Song to you. You can take him to the West Garden later. It will be convenient for you to send things to Xiaoliu."
Shushu shook his head and said, "It's a mess today, so I won't see Xiaoliu. When I'm home, I'll pick up Xiaoliu one day."
The time was almost up, so the Ninth Prince went out to meet up with the Tenth Prince and returned to the city...
*
The second south building is the main house.
After hearing the nanny's report, the Third Lady was surprised to learn that the Ninth and Tenth Princes and their families had gone to the North Garden.
"With the child?"
she asked.
The Empress Dowager is old, and we have been living in Haidian in recent years. Even if we bring our children here, we don't bring them to her.
The Empress Dowager has more than ten or twenty grandchildren, not to mention great-grandchildren.
If they all try to get close to the Empress Dowager, it will cause a huge disturbance.
The maid nodded and said, "They took them. Each of them held one. They went into the North Garden and never came out. They must have left some food for them. Then the emperor passed by. I didn't dare to look or move. I just avoided them and waited until the emperor left before I followed them back..."
After listening to this, Sanfujin felt extremely regretful.
Why isn't she so clever?
The Ninth Princess didn't come, the Fifth Prince didn't come either, and there was no one around the Empress Dowager.
Her own Hongsheng is already a grown-up boy, and he knows the proper manners of a man. If she brings him along, he might catch the empress dowager's eye.
The emperor has always respected the empress dowager. If Hongsheng really wins the empress dowager's favor, the emperor will definitely follow suit and respect Hongsheng.
In that case, entering the palace to study would be just a matter of a word.
Now, is it too late to follow suit?
The Third Lady was a little hesitant to make a decision, so she decided to wait until the Third Prince came back and discuss it with him...
