Chapter 2098: Powerful Commander
The Ninth Prince said, "Then let's pick a big house, which will be convenient for the craftsmen to work in."
If it were any other brother, the Ninth Prince would definitely feel jealous if he received such a favor.
Don’t worry about scarcity but inequality.
But the grace belonged to the Tenth Prince, so the Ninth Prince could only be happy for him and said, "Although it's just rent, it's also an estate, not bad."
The rent for a courtyard in the imperial city is not low.
The monthly rent for the courtyard is forty or fifty taels of silver.
The four houses together are equivalent to half the salary of a county prince.
The Tenth Prince knew what was going on.
This won't last long.
According to the rules, it should have been taken back long ago.
When the throne changes, it will most likely be taken back.
However, the Tenth Prince has many properties under his name, so he wouldn't need a few sources of income.
It was previously used to house the palace ladies of Changchun Palace in its early years, and was only vacated in recent years.
The Ninth Prince came here just for this matter. After he finished speaking, he remembered the matter of the royal family examination and asked, "Is everything stuck?"
The Tenth Prince nodded and said, "The best result is a tie, and the other two are directly inferior."
The Ninth Prince sneered, "You are so shameless. You have been delaying for so many years and dared not come to take the exam. Now that your family has obtained the title of a county prince, you dare to come. What good things are you thinking?"
The Tenth Prince said, "The founding king is different from a title bestowed by grace. He has a large population and is naturally arrogant."
If he and Sunu Beizi hadn't kept an eye on it, they might have really succeeded.
The result of horseback archery ultimately comes down to calculating the target score.
If we turn a blind eye, it would not be difficult to improve this result.
The Ninth Prince said casually: "It would be better if the lieutenants could be evenly distributed, so they wouldn't be so conspicuous, and we wouldn't have to be so shabby."
The Tenth Prince looked at the Ninth Prince and said, "Would you be happy if it was changed to Ninth Brother?"
The Ninth Prince thought about it, shook his head and said, "Forget it. If I get a deputy commander in the future, it's fine to divide it among my children and grandchildren. But if I am taken into the public office, I will not accept it."
The Tenth Prince said: "The royal family will not make any major changes. The foundation of the Eight Banners cannot be disturbed."
The Ninth Prince nodded and said, "Alright, then our children and grandchildren will have a guarantee in the future. However, they have to pass the examination to be promoted. It's embarrassing, but if you can't speak the national language, ride and shoot, what else can you do?"
The Ninth Prince now has three sons. Except for the eldest son Fengsheng, the remaining two, Akdan and Zakdan, need to undergo examinations to be given titles.
However, the Ninth Prince was not worried that the two children would not pass the examination.
That is the threshold for being conferred a title, not winning the imperial examination. It is not very difficult to be excellent.
Anyway, it’s no problem for these princes.
It would be a joke if you could not pass the imperial clan examination after studying in the Imperial Academy for ten years.
By the same token, while they were studying, the children of the royal family were also studying.
It can only be said that the children of royal families are becoming increasingly arrogant and untalented, which is why the exam results are so dismal.
After chatting for a while with the brothers, the Ninth Prince returned to the Fifth Institute.
He mentioned to Shushu that the princes in Prince Xin's mansion were not good at riding and shooting.
After hearing this, Shu Shu said, "I guess the princes will take sick leave or ask for leave for other reasons in the third game."
The Ninth Prince nodded and said, "Of course they did. They must have cheated in the translation exam. They only got an A. In the second exam, they either got an A or a B. They would never dare to take the third exam. It's not easy to get promoted after receiving this title. They will probably have to plan for it later."
Shushu was a little worried about the Tenth Prince.
This is ruining someone's future, like killing his parents.
"I will find an opportunity to vent my anger on those brothers over there. Don't let them place their hatred on Master Shi..."
Shushu reminded.
As for the Ninth Prince, many of his friends are Kangxi's men, so it is not easy for others to criticize him.
As for the Tenth Prince, he couldn't stand the gossips from the public.
The Ninth Prince nodded and said, "Yes, I know. I will definitely confront Prince Xin's Mansion when I have the chance. I can't let them slap me in the face for nothing..."
This is about Fuqing being selected as the deputy commander.
Shushu thought about Fu Qing's resume and realized that he was chosen as the vice-president because of the influence of the Ninth Prince and the Fucha family.
"This time Fu Qing is the vice-president. If there is another vacancy in the cantonese army, can Fu Qing be the main candidate?"
Shu Shu asked.
The Ninth Prince nodded and said, "That's what I said, but I have asked around. The several officers of the Zhenglan Banner have been replaced in the past few years. It's rare for one to be vacant. We have to wait and see. Besides, even if there is a second vacancy, with so many people watching, it may not be my turn."
This flag vacancy does not refer to a one-term term.
If this vacancy is given to the Ninth Prince, the next time Fu Qing is promoted, this vacancy will still belong to the Ninth Prince.
Perhaps it is for this reason that Prince Xin and Prince An are willing to play dumb and refuse to give up an inch of territory.
Shushu glanced at the Ninth Prince and said nothing else.
Kangxi demoted the eighth and ninth princes to divide the power of the Zhenglan Banner.
As a result, the Eighth Prince became as close to Prince An's Mansion as a family, which obviously failed to live up to Kangxi's intentions.
The more Prince Xin and Prince An managed the Zhenglan Banner to be a united force, the more eye-catching they became.
Then Kangxi might support the Ninth Prince and add insult to injury to the Zhenglan Banner...

The next day, the Ninth Prince resumed his duty in Changchun Garden.
Shushu welcomed the Tenth Lady.
"Sister-in-law, when can we go over there to play?"
After listening to the children talking about the bustle of Baiwang Mountain, the Tenth Lady became impatient.
Shu Shu said, "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? Ask someone to prepare it for you. It will take a few days before we can go to the manor..."
Besides, even if the sister-in-law went there, she would not bring the Tenth Lady with her.
"Huh? Why are you going so late?"
The Tenth Lady was a little disappointed.
Although she is pregnant and cannot wrestle or race horses, she still wants to listen to some long songs and eat some roasted whole lamb.
Shushu told them that the twelfth prince was planning to take Madam Su with him.
After hearing this, the Tenth Lady was moved. She supported Shushu's arm and said, "Sister-in-law, Sister-in-law, can you lend it to me for a day? I also want to invite the two concubines..."
Needless to say, Concubine Duanshun was her great-aunt and had always taken good care of her; Concubine Shuhui was also very caring towards the younger generation, the Tenth Lady, and gave her a lot of good things for her wedding and the birth of her child.
Shushu originally planned to keep the yurt.
However, she did not agree right away. Instead, she looked at the Tenth Lady's belly and said, "Even if you are in good health and want to go out, you have to wait until the baby is three months old. The emperor's grandson is precious, so it is better to be safe."
The Tenth Lady was a little hesitant.
Shu Shu said sternly, "If you don't agree, then don't mention it. I can't bear the consequences."
The Tenth Lady begged for mercy, "Yes, yes, I know Sister-in-law Nine is doing this for my own good. She just thought that it would be hot by then, and if we postponed it, it would be difficult to go out."
Shu Shu said, "Then let's talk about it after it cools down."
The Tenth Concubine lowered her head and looked at her belly, then said in a muffled voice, "I know the importance of this. The emperor's grandson is more precious than me, the emperor's wife."
Shushu did not comfort the Tenth Lady.
With the lessons learned from the Eighth and Fifth Concubines, if the Tenth Concubine still doesn't understand this, she would be a fool.
While the two sisters-in-law were talking, there was a noise outside.
Dongyue came in and reported, "Fujin, the second princess from the Fourth Prince's Mansion is here."
Shu Shu nodded and said, "Please come in!"
The Tenth Lady glanced at the clock and asked curiously, "Are you here to play with Niguzhu? Why are you here at this time, neither early nor late?"
It's already past noon.
Shu Shu said: "It should be a post. This is the last place."
Sure enough, when the Second Princess came in, she greeted her two aunts and then took out the invitation.
"An invitation to my eldest sister. My eighteenth niece is hosting the banquet. Please invite all the sisters to our house for a feast."
The second princess smiled and said.
Shushu answered it personally, looked at Ergege and said, "Your sister is about to finish class. Do you want to go to the backyard to play with her? I'll leave lunch for her at Aunt Jiu's house at noon?"
The Second Princess shook her head and said, "Not today. My mother is still waiting to go home. I will come to bother Aunt Nine another day."
After talking with her elders for half a quarter of an hour, the second princess stood up and said goodbye.
Shushu asked Baiguo to send it out.
The Tenth Lady was surprised and said, "He really looks like whoever raised him. He is like an adult, generous and graceful, just like the Fourth Sister-in-law."
Shu Shu said: "The Imperial Grandson is a precious lady, and this is how it should be."
The Tenth Concubine thought of Li Gege from the Fourth Beile's Mansion, who had given birth to two sons and a daughter, and would definitely need a concubine in the future. She said, "To be honest, a concubine who comes from a bannerman family is less troublesome than a concubine selected from the Eight Banners."
Shu Shu nodded and said, "Yes, a mother is not afraid of being honored by her son, but she is afraid of being honored by her son."
Which year's concubine was Xiao Nian Gao from?
The election years were 43, 46, 49 and 52...
From the time when Imperial Noble Consort Dunsu gave birth for the first time until her death, she was responsible for all the children in Yongzheng's private residence and the harem.
If we count based on the fact that the position of Zuoling of the Nian family belonged to the Fourth Prince, then it should be the selections in the 49th and 52nd years.
However, a few years before she gave birth, she entered Prince Yong's palace and became a concubine when she was young.
Since he was young and participated in the Eight Banners selection, he should be thirteen or fourteen years old, most likely the selection in 1959.
That year, the imperial concubine was about the same age as the second princess, or even younger.
This is another child bride.
No wonder they were able to come from behind and win.
This is not just because of the support of my father and brother from my mother's family...
