Chapter 2056 Double Happiness
After the mother and daughter had breakfast, Niguzhu went to the back to attend class.
Shushu looked at the clock, somewhat surprised.
It's almost time for midnight, but the Ninth Prince hasn't come back yet.
According to the time when the Holy Chariot came to Haidian every time, he should arrive at the garden at the beginning of the morning.
Are you going to the Imperial Palace?
*
Haidian, outside Qingxi Bookstore.
The Ninth Prince had been standing there for quarter of an hour.
He glanced at the Tenth Prince standing next to him, stretched out his fingers and made the number "four", feeling helpless.
The Tenth Prince whispered, "It should be soon later."
It turned out that these princes who were accompanying the emperor had received oral instructions before and did not disperse immediately. They all came over in unison to wait for the audience.
I thought everyone would go in together, but they came one by one.
Start with the eldest brother.
Now half an hour has passed and I have only seen the second one.
The one inside now is the Third Prince.
According to this ranking, there are still four more people to reach the ninth prince.
The Ninth Prince glanced at the duty room next to him and wanted to go in and wait.
But seeing that his brothers were all waiting here with their hands down, he did not act differently. He just couldn't help but reflect in his heart, wondering if Khan Ama was unhappy about something again, and was he punishing his son intentionally?
How much do I need to say? How long can a son spend talking for two quarters of an hour?
It happens every now and then, what can I say?
Although some princes were granted titles, some were not.
Those who were granted titles were also divided into different levels.
But now it is not a court meeting, so the classes are arranged according to seniority.
The Thirteenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince were ranked last.
The Fourteenth Prince held the pocket watch in his hand and could not help but whisper to the Thirteenth Prince: "The eldest brother has been in there for two quarters of an hour, and the third brother has been in there for almost two quarters of an hour too..."
In this way, when it was the two younger ones' turn, it was already noon.
The Thirteenth Prince hesitated for a moment and whispered back, "It should be soon later, right?"
The princes in front all had their own independent assignments, and could talk about government affairs in detail; but the two of them were just walking around, so what was there for them to say?
Fourteenth Brother: "..."
Don't want to be fast!
At this moment, the Third Prince came out, looking very excited, with joy in his eyes.
Upon seeing this, the Fourth Prince clenched his fists in his sleeves, then unclenched them.
The Third Prince was very good at studying when he was young, but he was a little clumsy in other aspects. Not only was he not eloquent, but his personality was also a bit simple.
He was a son that Khan Ama worried about.
If you worry about this too much, you will inevitably be a little biased.
Just by looking at the fact that the Third Prince could be conferred the title of Prince together with the First Prince, the eldest son of the Emperor, you can tell that he is highly valued by the Emperor.
The third elder brother said, "Fourth elder brother, please go in quickly. Khan Ama is waiting for you!"
The Fourth Prince nodded and entered Qingxi Study.
The Fifth Prince glanced at the Third Prince and said, "Third Brother, are you pregnant?"
Could it be that he was rewarded with silver?
This is so beautiful that it makes me want to burst into tears.
The Third Prince tried hard to hold back his laughter, turned around and clasped his fists towards Qingxi Book House, and said, "It is Khan's grace that our queen has been reinstated as a concubine..."
In this way, the gap between him and the eldest prince was eliminated.
They are all the concubine’s sons.
There is another grace, which is that Hongsheng will be allowed to enter the upper study room next year.
Now, you can choose Hong Sheng as your study partner.
The emperor's father asked him to choose from among the grandchildren of Lord Zhongda.
Tu Hai, the Duke of Zhongda, is a relative of the Empress.
This is to make up for the weakness of my external family...
The Third Prince just felt dizzy, as if he was drunk, as if he was dreaming.
These were all the things he had been looking forward to, and his dreams actually came true.
You should know that as early as when Hongqing was choosing a study partner, he had mentioned in front of the emperor that he wanted to choose someone from Tu Hai's children and grandchildren, but was rejected by his father the emperor.
Now, it was Hongsheng's turn to choose a study partner. He did not mention it himself, but his father did.
Although the Third Prince was happy, he was also a little nervous.
Is it that Hong Qing's qualifications are really too poor and not worthy of Khan Ama's eyes, so he wants to help himself to promote Hong Sheng?
Each family had one imperial grandson enter the upper study, but he sent two himself.
This kind of grace is unique.
But because this aroused jealousy, he concealed it and did not mention it.
The Fifth Prince said happily, "Then I have to prepare a gift for my mother."
When he was a child, he was taken care of a lot by his elder sister, Princess Rongxian. Not only out of Princess Rongxian's affection, but also out of hope that Concubine Rong's situation would improve.
The Eighth Prince also said, "Congratulations, Third Brother."
The Third Prince then laughed out loud and said, "It's all thanks to Khan Ama's grace..."
I never expected that there would be such grace.
He was startled at first, thinking that he was going to talk about Tian's matter again, or that he was going to have a concubine.
Just by looking at the current situation of the Fifth Prince and the Eighth Prince, one can tell that the concubine appointed by the Emperor is not a good thing.
The Ninth Prince asked the Tenth Prince in a low voice: "What merits did Third Brother accomplish?"
It was already a grace that Concubine Rong was lifted from the ban a few years ago, and this time it happened again.
A mother is honored by her sons, but nothing is this expensive, right?
The Tenth Prince glanced at Qingxi Study and thought about the recent news in the capital that the Tong family's position as prince would be restored, and he understood.
It's just a balance.
This is to use the Third Prince to balance the Fourth Prince, and also to use the Third and Fourth Princes to force the First Prince.
He couldn't say this out loud, so he just whispered, "My mother-in-law gave me a great contribution in giving birth to you, my father-in-law is nostalgic, and my second sister's dignity is also involved..."
After hearing this, the Ninth Prince nodded and said, "That's right."
He is so nostalgic towards his ministers, so it is not surprising that he is also nostalgic towards the harem.
The Third Prince saw the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince whispering to each other and asked with a smile, "What did the Ninth Brother say?"
The Ninth Prince smiled brilliantly, looked at the Third Prince, and said, "Third Prince's face is glowing red, it doesn't look like a happy event, but rather a double happiness. Should we have a banquet?"
Third Prince: “…”
There's no reason to collect money, so why have a banquet? !
And what’s wrong with Laojiu’s eyes?
Could it be that he had gained enlightenment from reading the Book of Changes?
How can you be so accurate?
The Third Prince was in a state of confusion and regretted speaking to the Ninth Prince.
The Tenth Prince looked at the Third Prince and said, "That's true. I didn't notice it until Ninth Prince mentioned it. Now that I've mentioned it, I realize that Third Prince is indeed looking better. It looks like Third Prince's family is really going to hold a banquet."
For a moment, everyone looked at the Third Prince.
The Thirteenth Prince also said: "Third brother, congratulations!"
He suppressed his laughter in his heart.
The Third Prince's face was indeed flushed, and he was obviously excited.
As a result, the third prince believed the ninth brother's tricks. It seems that Khan Ama has given him more than one favor.
It's just a coincidence of words.
It's rare to see the Third Prince getting confused when it has nothing to do with money.
The Fourteenth Prince narrowed his eyes and asked, "Ninth Brother, what is Third Brother's other happiness?"
Naturally, he did not believe that the Ninth Prince could read faces. They had all studied the "Book of Changes" in the upper study room, but that was just study. He was not a shaman, so who could really be psychic?
It's more like fooling people.
He suspected that the Ninth Prince was well-informed and had received some news, which led him to say this.
I didn't notice it before, but now that I think about it, the Ninth Prince and Wei Zhu are very familiar with each other.
Wei Zhu is now always in the imperial court, so it is possible that she leaked some unimportant information to the Ninth Prince in private.
The Ninth Prince glanced at the Fourteenth Prince and said, "You should ask the Third Brother. I just saw that the Third Brother looked good."
If it was just the news that Concubine Rong was restored to the throne, it wouldn't be like getting a great advantage.
Now he is smiling slyly, and it is obvious that he has gained other benefits.
Everyone looked at the Third Prince.
The Third Prince coughed lightly and said, "I still have to go back to the government office, so I won't delay any longer..."
At this point, he said to the Tenth Prince, "The Ministry of Rites has selected a few names for my nephew, and they will be presented to the Emperor later."
The Tenth Prince said: "Thank you, Third Brother. I will wait for you then..."
The Third Prince sold out a cheap favor, said goodbye to everyone, and left the garden...

In Qingxi Bookstore.
The Fourth Prince had been told to sit down and talk, but when he heard clearly what Kangxi said, he stood up and said, "My son dare not. After all, I am a junior..."
It turned out that Kangxi had just told him about letting Tong Guowei's four younger sons come to Beijing, and asked the Fourth Prince to examine these four and choose one of them to inherit the title of Duke.
The Fourth Prince said, "Those people may be young, but they are my son's uncles, so it is not easy for me to comment on them."
Kangxi looked at him and thought of something. He said, "I remember that before you entered the upper study, the Empress took in her younger brother to the palace to accompany you. Later, when she was choosing a study companion, she fell ill and was delayed. Who was it?"
After hearing this, the Fourth Prince looked somewhat sad and said, "It was Fourth Uncle Hongshan, who passed away before the imperial examination in the spring of the following year..."
He was a talented scholar in the Tong family. His marriage had already been arranged and he was just waiting to get married after the imperial examination in spring of the following year. However, he died before the wedding and left no children.
Kangxi fell into deep thought.
Was Hongshan’s illness back then a real illness, or were there other reasons?
Just by looking at the fact that Tong Guowei did not allow his young daughter to get married until she was in her twenties, we knew that the Tong family was still looking forward to their own grandson and was not happy with the Queen adopting the Fourth Prince.
Kangxi said to the Fourth Prince, "I am not energetic enough, nor do I have the patience to examine them one by one. Please do not refuse. Please choose someone who can support the Tong family on behalf of your mother."
At this point, the Fourth Prince could no longer refuse, and bowed and said, "Then I will follow Khan Ama's instructions. When the time comes, I will interact more with the uncles, find out their personalities, and then ask Khan Ama to decide on the candidate for the succession to the title."
Kangxi nodded and said, "Well, kneel down and pay your respects!"
The Fourth Prince responded and walked out.
He was worried that his father would also keep him for two quarters of an hour, as that would be too conspicuous.
He didn't want such grace.
What the third prince is obsessed with is to be on par with the eldest prince.
The Fourth Prince, on the other hand, just wanted to take a step back and hide among the other princes...
*
There are more than one or two people who are as mindful of time as the Fourth Prince.
Seeing the Fourth Prince come out, the Fourteenth Prince looked down at his pocket watch, confirmed the time, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
He is not likable, he is not even as likable as the third brother, and yet he has the nerve to preach to everyone he meets.
The Thirteenth Prince, who was standing nearby, breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, fortunately, the fourth brother is different from the third brother.
Khan Ama only planned to promote the third prince.
The Fifth Prince was somewhat happy.
It's very tiring to stand. If everyone stands for fifteen minutes, it would be too painful.
Naturally, the shorter the better.
His thoughts were written all over his face. Seeing this, the Fourth Prince felt relieved and said, "Fifth Brother, go in!"
"Hey!"
The Fifth Prince responded and walked briskly into Qingxi Book House...
