The Ministry of Internal Affairs in the capital is still waiting for the dust to settle over the new situation.

The holy chariot had finished visiting the mausoleum, but he did not return the way he came, but continued northward.

On this day, the Holy Emperor was stationed in Luanyang.

It was already the twelfth lunar month, snow was falling outside the Great Wall, and the sky and the earth were covered in white.

Karaqin and Shuo'e consort came to court.

He had received the decree and came alone to see Your Majesty.

In the palace, the prince's face showed sarcasm.

At this time, do you remember that you value the married princess?

The fourteenth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother were both a little confused when they heard the news.

Brother Fourteen spoke quickly and said, "Is there any good news?"

The thirteenth elder brother said: "I don't know, let's see if there is a banquet tonight!"

It's the coldest weather now, and you have to ride a horse for 500 miles to come to the court. Is this a bit of a blessing?

When I arrived at Fourth Brother's place, I was thinking about the emperor's father playing with his bow these past few days, looking for the tiger's trace.

Before leaving the capital, the Holy Master ordered people to sort out the places in the capital where tiger dangers had been reported. After visiting the mausoleum, he did not return directly to the capital because it was for winter hunting.

Calling your son-in-law to travel five hundred miles to perform Hajj is not a grace, it is a punishment.

In the past, the capital seldom interfered with the lawsuits between the princess and the prince-in-law.

In the past two years, the princess has returned to Beijing more often, and the emperor has visited the princess more often.

This is not just kindness.

In the imperial tent, under Kangxi's gaze, Garzang felt horrified, as if he was being stared at by a wild beast.

Garzang was nearly 30 years old, which was in his prime. He was also strong and strong. In addition, Mongolians grew beards early, so he looked a bit tough.

But his respect for Kangxi was genuine.

The Karaqin tribe had no natural dangers and was adjacent to Manchuria. When he was in Karaqin, he was the heir to the palace, but when he came to the imperial court, he still knew his identity.

Seeing that he was respectful, Kangxi felt a little satisfied and said: "How is the princess? How is little Princess?"

Princess Duanjing nursed Meng for thirty-one years and gave birth to a daughter in thirty-three years.

After that, the relationship between the couple became weak and they became estranged.

Garzang said: "Before I left Harqin, I met the princess. The princess knew that the emperor was visiting the mausoleum and was looking forward to seeing her. Little Princess is eight years old. The princess arranged for someone to teach her Chinese and Mandarin..."

The princess was a female family member, and Kangxi also had a fatherly heart. Even if he wanted his father and daughter to meet, Princess Duanjing could only go out to greet Baili to say hello.

After the saint paid a visit to the mausoleum, he headed towards Rehe. In three days, he would reach the place where the princess would meet.

At that time, there will also be several Mongolian princes from other tribes who have received favors to come to court.

Kangxi understood what this meant. The third princess wanted to marry her daughter back to the capital, otherwise she would not ask someone to teach Chinese and Chinese.

He pondered for a moment, looked at Garzang and said: "Little Gege is my granddaughter. I can't bear to be separated from my flesh and blood. I will figure out the future and get married to her. If the princess has a son in the future, I will follow this example."

Garzang thought of the princes of Taiji in various tribes, who would have a bright future after landing.

In his early years, he had had feelings for her, but Princess Duanjing always held back, not acting like a serious couple with him. People around the princess also showed little respect for him, with contempt in their eyes.

How could he bear this?

They were originally a young couple, but over the past few years they have been relatively silent and drifted apart.

I can't say whether I'm wearing the green hat for real or not.

Last year, the couple had a quarrel, and the emperor sent his guards over. He was also punished, but the couple also began to get tired of each other.

Garzang knew that the current meeting was Kangxi's warning to him.

If he continues to disobey and neglect the princess, he himself cannot say what will happen in the future.

Princess bloodline has grace, but what about non-princess bloodline?

Garzang's back felt cold.

He immediately took a certificate of gratitude, knelt down and said: "The emperor has shown great kindness to the Kalaqin tribe, and I am so grateful... I will definitely serve the princess well in the future..."

Husband and wife can respect each other as much as ice, but they must have a son.

With a son, the inheritance of the title is stable, and the princess will have more scruples in her actions...

Kangxi signaled Liang Jiugong to help him up, looked at him and said: "Princess Duanjing is the princess I raised myself. I hope that everything will go well with her, and I will become my consort. Do you know how much I love my daughter?"

Garzang nodded without hesitation: "The emperor's love for the princess is in the eyes of the slave, and the slave will also take good care of little princess..."

The meeting between Weng and his son-in-law was not long or short, and there was nothing visible from the outside.

It’s just that there was no small banquet that night.

There was no banquet before the visit to the mausoleum, which can be said to be due to fasting; there was no banquet after the visit to the mausoleum, and the weight of the prince's consort was also unusual.

The few princes who followed him knew this by heart.

Garzang came out of Xingzai and went to the prince's side to pay his respects.

He thought about the princes and grandchildren, and it seemed that the princes and grandchildren in other princely houses were all young, younger than little Princess. Only the two elder brothers in the East Palace were the right age.

Garzang felt hot in his heart when he thought of this.

Could it be that the Haraqin Tribe, like the Horqin Tribe, can become descendants?

Garzang felt that his guess was reliable. The emperor was already old. Now that he took the prince with him to teach him, would he also let the prince familiarize himself with various tribes in Monan in advance?

When Garzang entered the prince's tent, Kangxi got the news.

There was no emotion or anger on Kangxi's face, and he asked Liang Jiugong: "It's the grace given by me, why are they still willing to go to the prince's side?"

This is not only the case in Mongolia, but when envoys from North Korea come to Beijing, they will also prepare a tribute for the prince.

Liang Jiugong felt his scalp numb. Isn't the answer obvious?

The emperor is old and the prince is in his prime.

However, Liang Jiugong said: "Among the emperor's grandsons, the second elder brother of Yuqing Palace is about the same age as little Gege, and my father-in-law still loves his daughter very much..."

Kangxi sneered and said: "It's not just the elder brother from Yuqing Palace who is of the right age, there are also Hongyu, Hongqing and Hongsheng who are also of the same age!"

Liang Jiugong did not answer the call again.

There is a world of difference between a prince and an emperor. Isn't this something the emperor himself promoted?

Ninth Prince's Mansion, front yard.

Li Can came to deliver New Year's gifts.

Among the chief officials outside the Ministry of Internal Affairs, only the Li family delayed the delivery until the twelfth lunar month, and the other families had almost finished delivering the goods as early as the end of November.

When Brother Jiu was in the Yamen, Fusong came out to meet people.

Thinking of Fusong's identity, Li Can seemed to understand his elder brother's intention of preparing a beauty.

Jiu Fujin controls the prince's mansion, is Jiu Age afraid that he is ill?

With such a master of ceremonies, even if Brother Jiu wanted to hide the secrets from the inner house and arrange for the two girls to stay in the study, he would not be able to hide it.

As the prince's elder brother, he is not really afraid of his wife, but they are just a young couple who are not willing to worry about their favorite things, so they want to put someone outside?

Fusong had long heard about the Li family, which was the natal family of aunt Cao Shun.

This Li Can is just for Li Xu's side. If he comes here, he can't really be treated like a big boss.

But looking at this gift list, and judging from the examples from previous years, it doesn’t look like a request.

Rushing for the shortage of Guangchuku?

Fusong said no again.

There may be some intention of letting Li Can appear in front of the ninth elder brother, but it should have nothing to do with Guang Chusi's absence.

Even if the news came quickly and he rushed to Beijing, it would not be so fast.

Li Can didn't mean to say more, and Fu Song remained reserved. He said a few words and then served tea to see the guests off.

When the New Year's gift post arrived at the main house, Shu Shu discovered that their family's New Year's gift had actually been postponed.

But knowing that it was Li Xu's younger brother coming to Beijing, I thought it was because of the delay on the road.

Traveling in winter is hard, and it is common to travel long distances and be delayed for ten days.

She put it aside and paid little attention to it.

When Brother Jiu came back from the Yamen, he heard that the Li family's birthday gifts had arrived. He looked at the gift list and looked a little confused.

Shu Shu said: "It's similar to the previous example. Is there anything wrong with it?"

Brother Jiu said: "I just heard Ji Hong say it when he came to Beijing, saying that Li Xu has an excellent reputation in Suzhou, he is also heroic, and his family has a large population..."
