Nantou Institute is not far from the entrance of West Garden.
Kangxi had no intention of getting on the carriage. Instead, he called a horse and got on the horse.
Seeing this, the eldest brother took the reins and followed him towards the entrance of the west garden.
Kangxi sat on the horse and looked at his tall son. Thinking of his appearance when he was a child, his expression became loving and he said, "I will point you to a good successor Fujin later. You should also let go of things at home. It's time to cheer up." Woke up."
The eldest brother said: "Wait here, son. Khan Amma has the most good taste. When my son looks at his brothers and sisters below, there is nothing bad about him."
Kangxi hummed softly: "It's a life-long matter for you. How much care have I put into it? Which prince, Fujin, is not carefully selected?"
There was only one exception for Bafujin. At that time, the marriage was decided based on family status.
But it's not the baby's fault. The Crown Princess and Si Fujin were also favored by the palace early on, and they are not of the character of Ba Fujin. It can be seen that there is a flaw in Prince An's upbringing.
The eldest brother didn’t ask much about the candidates.
For him, whoever succeeds Fujin has little impact. It is completely different from the excitement and expectations before the wedding more than ten years ago.
The only thing he was curious about was whether the Princess of the Fucha family would point out the name to the twelfth or thirteenth elder brother, or leave the sign directly to the fourteenth elder brother.
No matter who he is, he will have a brother-in-law relationship with the eighth prince.
It's just that this brother-in-law may not be close to him. Just looking at the third elder brother and the ninth elder brother, they have been in trouble several times in the past few years.
While talking, the group arrived at the gate of the West Garden.
The eldest brother watched the saint drive away before turning back.
He thought about the prince's temper, and found that he was most domineering.
The Holy Spirit came over to see the prince first.
Among the emperor's grandsons, the emperor would look at Hongyu first, and the prince would be unhappy.
The eldest brother sneered in his heart. He was so old, but he still saw what was in front of him.
Just like the fourteenth elder brother, no one cares about making noises when he was young, but when he gets into trouble, he will be punished.
Here at Prince Edward, you can express your seven emotions when you are young, but when you grow up, you can only suppress them.
Go get angry, you will piss the monkey to death.
The eldest brother feels like he wants to drink a few cups...
*
In the Tuoyuan Bookstore.
The prince did get the news and watched the clock for half an hour. The emperor still hadn't entered the garden.
This time, the eldest brother was wrong.
The prince was not unhappy, he felt there was no problem with this order.
If Akedun is the eldest son, it goes without saying that he will definitely be more valuable than the eldest son of the county prince.
If the Li family has not yet been charged with the crime, as the eldest son of the concubine, Akdun is more valuable than Hongyu even if the princess has no children.
However, when asked about the crime by Li Shi, even if she was buried with noble rites, she was still a concubine in the East Palace.
Akedun was the eldest son of a concubine, and his status was not necessarily higher than that of the eldest son of a county prince.
This is the truth that a son is more valuable than his mother.
Unless there is no emperor's elder brother with a better background in the East Palace in the future, Aktun's status will rise.
He looked dull, thinking about how to apologize.
Now is not the time to blame others.
He himself is the culprit for this disaster, and he still has some responsibility for it.
He didn't make any big show of seeking an imperial doctor, but he also knew that his pulse in the past six months often showed symptoms of yang hyperactivity.
He thought it was because of the heat in the house in winter, but now he saw that there was something wrong with it.
Concubine Rong has been in the palace for more than half a year.
If it wasn't Concubine Rong, would it be someone else who would take action?
The prominent concubines in the harem, in addition to the concubines, also have princes and elder brothers.
The prince has always been arrogant, but this day and night, he actually felt a little more miserable.
There were footsteps at the door, and the little eunuch announced at the door: "Master, the Holy Driver has entered the garden!"
The prince stood up and ordered: "Go and report to the princess."
The little eunuch responded and trotted away.
The prince stood up and paused when passing by the glass mirror.
Looking at the gloomy figure in the mirror, the prince looked straight at it several times.
His face was blue and white, his eye circles were dark, and his eyes were cloudy.
How did you become like this? !
When he walked to the door of Tuoyuan Bookstore, the prince's steps were a little wobbly.
The weather is fine and the sky is blue.
The prince's mood was still full of gloom.
The princess got the news and hurried over, only to see the prince looking restless.
She looked away, not wanting to speak and having nothing to say.
It's already the seventh year of their marriage. There's nothing that needs to be said or advised. Enough is enough. Now they just look at each other with disgust.
Kangxi sat on his horse and saw someone coming out of the door of Tuoyuan Bookstore from a distance.
He looked back at the guards at the gate of the West Garden, and was not surprised to hear the news from Zuoyuan Bookstore.
Although the young brothers still live in the West Garden, it was given to the prince and is his garden.
He moved the reins and spurred the horse to gallop.
In the blink of an eye, the horses arrived at the door of Tuoyuan Bookstore.
Kangxi got off his horse and looked at the prince and princess.
Prince...
But I haven't seen him for a few days. His face is dry and there are heavy Sichuan lines between his eyebrows. He looks like he is several years older.
Looking at the Crown Princess again, standing three steps behind the Crown Prince, she is also much thinner.
"I just came over to take a look. What are you doing out here in the cold weather?"
Kangxi turned over and dismounted, looked at the prince and said.
The prince smiled bitterly and said: "I should have asked my son to go to the emperor in person to plead guilty..."
There was no way to hide the flogging of Akedun, everyone in the Tuoyuan Bookstore was watching.
The prince didn't know how many of them were the emperor's eyes and ears, how many were second-level masters.
He only knew that if he kept this secret, it would become his own shortcoming.
I can only reveal it and say that whether it is punishment or scolding, he deserves it.
Kangxi didn't want to mention this in front of others. He didn't answer the prince's words. He just looked at the princess and said, "Are you feeling better? Is there someone suitable to take care of Akdun?"
The Crown Princess said respectfully: "It's better. Aunt Cui is taking care of the emperor's grandson."
Aunt Cui is also one of the prince's wet nurses. She has an honest and responsible character. She was excluded from the palace by the Lingpu couple in her early years. She was only invited back by the prince's concubine in the past two years.
Nowadays, Akhdun and Hong Xi live their daily lives under the care of the Prime Minister.
Kangxi also remembered this person, nodded and said: "I will talk to the prince, and the princess will go on."
The Crown Princess responded and retreated.
Kangxi followed the prince to the main hall.
When the father and son were seated and the eunuch served tea, Kangxi waved his hand and told people to go down.
"Tell me, what's going on? I heard that Aktun's situation is not right, and he's not out of danger yet..."
Although Kangxi heard the fourth elder brother briefly mention it, he still wanted to ask the prince.
The prince looked at the palm of his hand, then at Kangxi, and said with a wry smile: "Akedun had a fever all night last night, and it only subsided this morning. Amma, I'm afraid my son will get sick after sitting down!"
After Kangxi heard this, he immediately became serious, reached out and pulled the prince's arm, and said: "Let me take a look..."
He also knew some basic pulse patterns.
The prince's pulse was weak and slippery.
He looked at the prince's face again, his cheeks flushed.
This is a symptom of excessive liver yang.
"Didn't you take medicine to soothe the liver and regulate qi a few years ago? Why haven't you recovered yet?" Kangxi frowned.
Hyperactivity of liver yang will lead to insomnia, dreaminess, and dizziness.
After a long time, my body was exhausted.
The prince rubbed his temples and said: "My son doesn't know the reason, but he is easily upset and angry. He is just like when he was a teenager. He has no patience at all. He does this to the servants and the princess. The same goes for kids..."
Kangxi heard this and said: "This is all about staying up all night. It should not only soothe the liver and regulate qi, but also calm the mind and promote sleep. Don't overdo things in the room, but there is no need to hold them in."
The prince nodded and said, "My son understands."
Kangxi shook his head and said: "I just know it's not possible, and you have to take good care of it. In this draft, I will point you to a few characters with good backgrounds. Then I will wait for you to add a few more royal grandchildren to me."
The prince had mixed feelings after hearing this.
He had earlier been looking forward to the Eight Banners showgirls coming to the East Palace, either Fujin or Gege from a good background.
But now, he was thinking of Akedun and Hongxi.
If the East Palace really has an imperial grandson whose biological mother has a high status, then Akedun and Hongxi will be in a difficult situation.
Kangxi also thought of the two emperors and grandchildren.
It's just that his temperament is clear between love and hate. Since he doesn't like Aktun, he won't change his original intention, and he has no intention of visiting him personally at the moment.
He only said indifferently: "There are some things that I don't want to hear from others. I want to hear from you, Prince. Who said what on earth last night that made you insist on whipping Akedun?"
The prince looked at Kangxi and was speechless.
He thought of Hong Xi's words in front of him yesterday, his denial in front of the Crown Princess, and his innocence when he was finally exposed.
He didn't understand that Hongxi had bad intentions.
Where are the real children in the palace?
It's just that he is Hongxi, the one who is most like him among the three sons, and he is excellent in both civil and martial arts.
Even if he tried to be careful, Akdun was the one who hit him in the face first.
Adults can swallow their anger, but how can children be so tolerant?
"Is there anything you can't say?"
Kangxi's voice turned cold.
The prince smiled bitterly and said: "Khan Ama, it is still my son's fault. I listen to one side and believe in the other, and I care about face. I feel that Aktun is talking nonsense and has lost my son's face outside. It is because my son is unkind!"
Kangxi glared at the prince and said: "You protect your son, and I also protect my son! Hongxi is unfilial and disrespectful, and has weird thoughts. I can't tolerate it, causing you to almost bear the sin of murdering your son!"
"Khan Ama..."
The prince prayed and said: "'It is the father's fault if the son does not teach'. Hong Xi is only eight years old and is still a child. His son must teach him well!"
Kangxi thought about Li Gege, who was just a palace servant who taught the prince how to be an adult. As a princess, he enjoyed the treatment of Fu Jin, and was more tolerant than the princess. However, his desires were difficult to satisfy, which damaged the prince's direct blood and damaged the body of the princess.
Such a vicious and greedy woman is truly the only one in the palace.
What kind of good child can such a biological mother give birth to?
Akdun in front of me is arrogant and arrogant. He is bad in appearance. What he does wrong is the rules. Most of them are caused by the confusion of the people around him.
Now this Hongxi is bad at heart. At a young age, he stirs up trouble and persecutes his brothers.
"There is no need to plead for him. If you indulge me, I'm afraid next time you won't be sowing trouble with your words, but directly harming others! Zhu Hongxi will withdraw from the study room from now on, haha Zhuzi will be cleared!"
Kangxi said seriously.
Look old at three years old.
Don't talk about others, just Hongyu, who is generous and kind, following the character of the eldest brother and Da Fujin.
This Hongxi is not a good person, and he followed the evil of his biological mother.
The prince's face turned pale and he said: "Khan Ama, Akdun's physical condition is probably not good enough for him to go to the study..."
Kangxi thought for a while and said: "Then let him rest for two months. Even if he has epilepsy, taking good care of it can delay the recurrence. This is not a disease brought in the mother's womb. If it is controlled, the recovery will be almost the same as that of ordinary people. It will not affect the heirs..."
What he said was the best outcome.
Worst outcome...
In the worst case, Kangxi would ask the imperial physician to keep Akedun alive for one more day, and his death could not be linked to the prince's whipping.
The prince clenched his fists, knowing that Kangxi's arrangement was to protect his reputation and face.
He said in annoyance: "My son has failed to live up to the teachings of Khan Amma. The longer he lives, the more he goes back. He is about to reach the end of the year, and Khan Amma has to worry about all this..."
Kangxi sighed and said: "Ama is not such an easy person. You have to pay attention to the upbringing of your children. If they grow crooked, you are the one who has to worry about it. Women here are all debts. If you don't manage them well, the holes will become more and more. The bigger..."
