If there hadn't been a Wanshou Festival in the middle, they would have been able to take their time on the road. They would have rushed directly to Hangzhou and followed the Holy Master back to Luan.

There happened to be a Wanshou Festival. What would Kangxi think if he missed it by just a few days?

The relationship between father and son is quite harmonious now, and they won't be picky about it. If they become more suspicious in a few years, this would be unfilial.

Just like in the 29th year of Kangxi's reign, the emperor personally went to war and the prince visited the sick.

The prince was only a teenager at that time, how could he think so carefully?

Even if there were people around him encouraging him, he himself knew what he was doing and would not really hope that the emperor's father would die early.

Kangxi felt uncomfortable at the time, but the people who complained were also members of the Hesheli family, and he did not really blame the prince.

However, in the last years of Kangxi's reign, when the emperor was getting old, the rift between them became more and more serious, and that visit became one of the evidences of the prince's unfilial piety.

Brother Ninth felt very tired, but his spirit was still high.

He turned his head and looked at the window. It was not yet noon.

"When will it get dark..."

Brother Jiu whispered carefully.

Shu Shu said softly: "Squint your eyes first, time will go by quickly."

"But I can't bear it..."

Brother Jiu put his arm around her waist, looked at her face, and said.

It seems that he has not changed much from when he set out. He still has thick hair, fair skin, slender eyebrows, and watery eyes, which makes people feel itchy when they see him.

But in this courtyard, the Queen Mother lives above, and Jiu Gege lives opposite...

Shu Shu could only pat him on the back like a child, and said: "I can't bear to leave him, so I'm just sitting here and not going anywhere."

Brother Jiu then closed his eyes with satisfaction, yawned, and said: "Then just keep your eyes peeled, let's change the yard..."

Shu Shu responded softly, pointed to the incense burner, and winked at Xiao Chun.

Xiao Chun quietly lit the sleeping incense.

Brother Jiu was so tired that he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

When the tenth elder brother and Shi Fujin came back from greeting the Queen Mother, they saw the ninth elder brother sleeping and did not come in.

Just then the steward of the Zhizhi Mansion came over to report that the yard in front had been tidied up.

Brother Shi whispered to Shu Shu and brought Shi Fujin over.

Brother Ninth slept from noon to noon.

Shu Shu didn't bother him. Seeing that Shen Zheng was still awake when he arrived, he pushed Brother Jiu and called out: "Master, wake up, there is a banquet tonight..."

Brother Jiu opened his eyes, looked at Shu Shu, still dazed, reached out and pinched Shu Shu's face, and said, "Are you dreaming?"

Shu Shu grabbed his hand, put it in her mouth and took a bite.

"Hey...it hurts..."

Ninth Prince bared his teeth.

Shu Shu smiled and said: "Then it's not a dream!"

Brother Jiu looked at the tooth marks on his hand, snorted softly, and grinded his teeth and said: "This is a new account. Let's settle the old and new accounts together in the evening!"

There was not much time, so Shu Shu stopped teasing him and said, "We still need to change the yard, so don't delay."

Brother Jiu immediately became energetic: "Change quickly, we can't delay this!"

It's easy to unpack your luggage and everything in the morning.

Shu Shu said: "Let me go and pay my respects to the emperor's grandmother. It will be almost done when we get back."

Brother Jiu nodded, remembered something, and said, "By the way, Zhu Liang is here too, and Hei Yatou's father is following the guards to the guard's office."

Shu Shu was shocked and said: "Amajan is here?"

Brother Jiu nodded and said: "I wanted to leave him in Jinan to follow the luggage slowly, but he refused to do it and insisted on showing off."

Speaking of which, that's just a child, only fifteen years old, not yet a man.

Shu Shu thought about the condition of her tenth brother just now, and was not so worried about Zhu Liang.

Even though he is two years younger than the ninth elder brother, if you really want to talk about it, Zhuliang is stronger and should not be much worse than the tenth elder brother.

The black girl’s father?

"Uncle Hei is here too? Then Ama really loves me."

Those were no ordinary noble guards. If it weren't for the status of the people under the household, they would all be people who could remember several rounds of military merits.

Brother Jiu also thought of this and asked puzzledly: "A servant under the Eight Banners can also open an account as an 'other household' due to military merit. Without his status as a servant, why didn't the black guard open an account?"

He is six feet tall and has the strength of a warrior, but it would be a pity to just be a house slave.

Shu Shu said: "I also asked Ama in the early years. It seems that Uncle Hei's family has no male members. He was also injured on the battlefield and gave up the idea of ​​having a son again, so he did not leave Dong E's family."

Brother Jiu thought about Xiaosong's approximate age and guessed: "It was also the Ulan Butong time. My father-in-law also went there at that time?"

It was the largest war after the San Francisco Rebellion.

Shu Shu shook his head and said, "Ama didn't go. He had just been promoted to the rank of captain at that time, and it was not his turn to order troops. It was my cousin from the palace who came over to borrow some people from Ama, and he borrowed Uncle Hei to go over."

Brother Jiu sighed and said: "I didn't pay attention to this before. Looking back now, I see that the structure of the clan and the court has changed since then."

Most of the political kings and ministers at that time were deposed.

Before that, the emperor's father was more tolerant towards the nobles and clan, but after that he became harsh.

Shu Shu felt that it was because the Eight Banners soldiers were timid and the princes and nobles were timid.

The Qing Dynasty's world was different from the previous dynasties' models of conquering the world.

It was not that the founding emperor brought fierce generals and advisers to conquer the world, but that Emperor Taizu brought his brothers, nephews and old Manchu heroes to conquer the world.

And because the Eight Banners have few people, if they split, there would be foreign troubles.

The royal family not only cannot "kill the donkey" like the founding emperors of other dynasties with these powerful clans and old honors, but also continues to appease and win over them.

Marriage is the best way.

However, in the Battle of Ulan Butong, several percent of the Eight Banners troops and horses were lost, which broke the myth of the power of the clan, princes and nobles.

In addition, Kangxi was already developing the Green Camp at this time, and he had three times as many Green Camp soldiers as the Eight Banners soldiers and horses, and he was very confident.

When it comes to princes and nobles, he changed his attitude from conciliation and win-over to a violent suppression.

As a result, the results have been seen, and the current principles and principles have been established.

In the Queen Mother's room.

When she heard that Ninth Prince was coming, the Queen Mother sent the message.

Brother Jiu immediately reached forward, put his left knee on the ground, took Rumu with him, and said: "Grandma Huang, my grandson misses you..."

In the early days, he was just going through the motions with the Queen Mother, respecting her, but since there was no contact, he was not very close to her.

But I became familiar with it a lot during my northern tour last year.

This year again, I can see news about the Queen Mother in every letter from my wife, and I know her love and preference for her grandson-in-law.

Brother Ninth's original five points of closeness became ten points.

When the Queen Mother saw Brother Ninth Brother's actions, she was startled for a moment, and then smiled lovingly. She did not avoid Brother Ninth Brother's hug, but leaned over to kiss him.

This is the Manchurian "hug-mei gift", also known as the "hug-waist-meeting gift", which is a great gift when relatives meet again after a long absence.

After saluting, Brother Jiu looked at the Queen Mother, looked at her carefully several times, and said: "The Queen Mother looks good. Her face looks better than in the palace. She is several years younger!"

This is really not flattery, the fine lines on the Queen Mother's face seem to be less.

The Queen Mother smiled and said: "The food is good. It's not as dry as the capital here. My hair is fine..."

What woman doesn’t love beauty?

Even older women are no exception.

Brother Jiu looked at the Queen Mother again and said disapprovingly: "The clothes are too plain, and they don't match your face. Later, my grandson will draw some clothes for you. Then they will be bright and bright, and they will not look like the imperial grandmother." Like the royal aunt..."

Speaking of this, he remembered the anger he suffered from Princess Duan Min last year and said: "When I go to Horqin again, I will make Aunt Duan Min envious..."

The Queen Mother was amused and said: "You dare to say anything, but the emperor will punish you carefully."

After hearing this, the ninth elder brother said with dissatisfaction: "Does Khan Ama want to have a concubine again? Why is he short of money? Why are he always thinking about his sons' salary?"

Kangxi walked to the door and was about to tell someone. When he heard this sentence, his face turned dark...
