When the prince's chariot was far away, Zhao Chang raised his head, looked at the prince's back and squinted his eyes.
In Qingxi Bookstore, Kangxi rubbed his temples.
The dragon gave birth to nine sons...
He could only comfort himself in this way.
There is no doubt about the ability of the third elder brother. In two days, he thoroughly investigated the accounting department.
There is no shortage of courage and means.
That is to say, if you are timid, you will be timid. It doesn't take long to become hardened. You are still a shirk, and you are less responsible.
The prince here has enough knowledge, but he is too young and spirited. He values decency more than brotherly love and is a little less tolerant of his brothers.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Chang would like to see you..." Liang Jiugong reported.
Kangxi nodded and thought of the two ordinary-looking official ladies in the prince's dormitory in Tuoyuan Bookstore.
Zhao Chang came in with a bow, a dull expression on his face.
"Have you checked it out? When did the people around the prince change? Were these two people chosen by the prince or the princess?"
Kangxi asked.
If it was the Crown Princess who chose them, would it be a dereliction of duty? Those two people looked a little too ordinary.
If the prince chose it, what does that mean?
In the future, you don’t plan to recruit beautiful girls from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but are only waiting for the Eight Banners beautiful girls with good backgrounds next year?
Zhao Chang bowed even more fiercely and said: "Your Majesty, the prince is surrounded by people who were replaced early on the seventh day of May. They were chosen by the prince from among the palace ladies in the back hall."
The room suddenly became quiet.
On the sixth day of the fifth lunar month, the Holy Emperor accompanied the Queen Mother out of the palace, and the Prince and other princes followed.
Yesterday was the seventh day of May and today is the eighth day of May.
Kangxi felt angry. He was replaced yesterday morning?
Are you sure he will go over to visit?
Why are you so sure?!
He looked at Zhao Chang and said: "There was someone coming from the Heavenly Palace yesterday, but the prince didn't see him?"
Zhao Changdao: "The steward of Xie Fang Palace reported to the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince was in the study. He asked people in advance not to disturb him, and then the steward went to the Crown Princess's chamber..."
Kangxi's face became increasingly ugly, and he looked at Zhao Chang and said, "Before the seventh day of May, who will be serving the prince?"
Zhao Chang lowered his head and said, "It's Zhao He, the Haha Pearl eunuch who was just transferred to Yuqing Palace..."
Haha, the bead eunuch is a young and immature eunuch.
The age for eunuchs to enter the palace is thirteen, and some are relaxed to twelve, that is, young eunuchs under sixteen years old.
Kangxi's chest felt tight, and he remembered the several wrappers from Yuqing Palace that he had ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to deal with the year before last.
Except for Haha Zhu Dezhu, who is in his teens, the others are all young men who have just grown up to make up for their shortcomings.
Is it a repeat of the past?
At that time, I took the prince's dignity into consideration and punished those people with other crimes.
This has only taken three or four years...

The prince's chariot came out of Changchun Garden and returned to the West Garden.
When he was about to reach the gate of the garden, the prince saw a familiar figure to the west.
It's Brother San. Is he going to the fifth place in the south?
Who lives in Nan Wu House now?
The eldest elder brother, the fourth elder brother and the eighth elder brother.
The prince ordered the people around him: "Follow me and see which courtyard the third elder brother has entered..."
The people around him responded and walked over. After a while, the young master came back and reported: "Master, the third master has entered the third house."
Sansuo, Eighth Prince?
The prince sat on the chariot, a little surprised.
According to the habit of the third child, isn't it to seek favors from the fourth elder brother?
What caused trouble for Jiugege in choosing her dowry...
The third child has had this problem since he was a child. He doesn't like to take on troubles, but he likes to ask for favors.
I wish I could take it as a huge credit if I help you casually.
When did he hook up with Eighth Prince?
Could it be that he was deliberately trying to deceive others and actually asked the eighth elder brother to pass a message to the eldest elder brother?
The third child is so sinister and must be guarded against.
The prince felt irritable and looked in the direction of Changchun Garden.
The fourth concubine was enjoying herself and looked very harmonious.
He thought about what Tong Guowei said when he was in Shengjing last winter, Concubine Tong had no children, and his harem had no help.
If he can help Concubine Tong become a noble concubine, Concubine Tong will also lead the Tong family to support the direct descendant of the East Palace.
The fourth concubine will take a step back. Without the current honor, the older princes born from the fourth concubine will not have the current dignity...
*鵇
In Nansan Institute, the fourth elder brother got the news and knew that the third elder brother was coming, so he went from the main room to the front yard.
The third elder brother was drinking tea while looking at a plate of walnuts and red dates with disgust.
"Third brother..."
Fourth elder brother bowed and said.
The third elder brother pointed at the two plates and said, "Can't we serve some serious cakes? Who uses this for tea?"
I am too lazy to smash the walnuts, and eating too many red dates will hurt my stomach.
Brother Si looked at the two plates of dried fruits and didn't think there was anything wrong.
The third elder brother touched his belly and said, "I've been very tired this day..."
After all the words were said, the fourth elder brother ordered: "Go to the dining room to prepare a few plates of cakes..."
The young eunuch responded, and the young eunuch brought a tray over. There were two plates of cakes on it, one was furnace fruit and the other was monk's head, both of which were hard-faced cakes.
When the third elder brother saw it, he curled his lips and said: "You guys are too tough to deal with. This is all the pastry that has been left aside for several days..."
His mouth was full of disgust, but he didn't stop holding it in his hands. After eating the monk's head, he felt that it was different from usual ones, softer and sweeter.
The fourth elder brother sat opposite and looked at the third elder brother speechless.
The third elder brother hummed while eating: "I'll be the one in front of you, and you guys will watch the fun from the side..."
The fourth elder brother was full of curses in his heart.
Isn't it awesome?
We arrested dozens of people and raided more than a dozen businesses...
When the third elder brother saw that the fourth elder brother didn't answer, he felt aggrieved and said, "Who am I doing this for? If it hadn't been for the marriage property for Jiugege, I wouldn't have thought of visiting the shop, so I wouldn't have gone to Yufeng Building..."
Mentioning this brought him to tears.
This credit cannot be concealed!
Not only did he have to tell the fourth child, but he also had to ask Fujin to tell the Queen Mother later.
After hearing this, Fourth Brother's face became solemn.
A nine-part dowry...
He is his biological brother, and he has actually asked about this matter before.
I started making furniture last year and jewelry after the new year.
Did the Ministry of Internal Affairs start purchasing dowry shops so late?
He lowered his eyes. Brother Jiu was not patient and would not delay this matter...
After the Queen Mother and Khan Amma have given instructions, Brother Jiu will start to make arrangements.
The third elder brother was still nagging: "Who would have thought that this would stir up a hornet's nest, and even start a false case? The Fucha family found out is actually a member of the prince's family. Do you think I am unjust or not?!"
At this point, he stood up and realized something was wrong. He took a breath of air and said, "That's not right. I'm trying to top the cylinder for Lao Jiu?! If Lao Jiu was still in the House of Internal Affairs, wouldn't this be true?"
Is it about Lao Jiu?”
The fourth elder brother looked at the third elder brother and thought about the censor's impeachment and the tenth elder brother's attack.
The impeachment of the censor...
This is unusual and not surprising, as the censor is originally a supervisory official.
Those censors were transferred to the censor's office, and they first used force against Brother Jiu, which was also a way of preservation.
But Brother Ten's reaction was indeed reckless...
Is Brother Ten such a reckless person?
The third elder brother felt depressed and thought about the ninth elder brother's "Fang Ren" incident, and said to the fourth elder brother: "It's all me, the old ninth elder! He should have faced off with the prince, it has nothing to do with me!"
He was supposed to be watching the fun!
He simply regretted it!
Fourth Brother's mouth twitched and said, "Isn't Third Brother the self-recommended general manager?"
The fourteenth elder brother preached it in the palace, and everyone knew about it. The third elder brother couldn't change his words.
The third elder brother covered his chest and said: "I was seduced by Lao Jiu. He was so angry that he refused to show his filial piety, and he became obsessed with me!"
He felt weak, sat down again, and started humming, saying: "Can I report illness now? Give this manager back to Lao Jiu, I can't afford it, don't do anything to me anymore!"
"
After hearing this, Brother Si's face suddenly turned cold.
He thought about the fifth elder brother, looked at the third elder brother and said: "Third brother, the cadres of the Ministry of Internal Affairs do not often marry outsiders. They are all for family marriages and family friends. The cadres we have divided are also from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
.”
The third elder brother immediately stopped moaning, looked at the fourth elder brother in confusion, and said: "Fourth elder brother, what do you mean by this?"
The fourth elder brother thought for a while and said: "Check the household population of the mansion carefully. For the time being, we will use the eunuchs and the third sister-in-law's household population, especially the nephews and nieces, just in case..."
Third Brother's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and he said, "You can't, right? Are you so bold?!"
The fourth elder brother frowned and said: "Destroying someone's money is like killing one's parents. Who knows if there are any old relatives in the Fucha family who want to take revenge!"
The third elder brother is not bold. Otherwise, when he came back from the city today, he wouldn't know how to guard him, and the number of guards would be doubled.
He trembled his lips, looked at Brother Si and said, "Can't I go and make amends to Lao Jiu? Let him go and let others go!"
When the fourth elder brother saw that he was still blaming the ninth elder brother, he was afraid that something might happen. He held a grudge against the ninth elder brother and became more serious and said: "Third brother, this is not child's play. Even if there is anything unpleasant between us brothers, say
It's just a matter of time. No one will hold a grudge to find fault, but those villains really need to be on guard."
The third elder brother couldn't sit still and said: "I'll go back soon..."
The fourth elder brother reminded him: "Don't forget Hong Qing, are the haha beads around you safe? Where is the wet nurse who followed you into the palace, the nanny?"
The third elder brother thought for a while, shook his head and said: "It's your third sister-in-law who is worried about it. I'll go back and ask..."
After saying that, he hurried away immediately.
The fourth elder brother sent him out, looked at the back of the third elder brother, sorted out the matter in his mind, looked at Changchun Garden, and his expression softened.
Although Khan Amma is Khan, she is also Amma.
The old man was still kind to his son. He first took the ninth elder brother out of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. After the third elder brother jumped down on his own initiative, he also arranged for Dong Dianbang to come forward.
From the outside looking in, it looks more like internal strife within the Baoyi family.
Brother Si took a breath and his steps became brisk...
*
North Fifth House, main room.
It was dark, and the lights were on in the house.
Brother Ninth rolled on the kang and said, "Let's go to Baiwang Mountain tomorrow. We won't wait for Thirteen and Fourteen. It's useless for them to ask for leave!"
It's boring to hold it in like this.
Shu Shu had no objection and said: "Then why don't you ask someone to tell Jiu Gege now, and then bring the tenth brother and his younger siblings..."
The ninth elder brother was just about to nod, but he remembered the fifth elder brother's words, hesitated, and said: "Sister Kejing will come over tomorrow, and she will probably come to see the children..."
