Chapter 106 4 Master's Backyard is involved in the daily life 31
After coming out of the Qianqing Palace, Yinzhen was forcibly "invited" by the prince to the Yuqing Palace.
Yinzhen felt depressed as soon as he stepped into the magnificent and splendid Yuqing Palace, so the prince took him to the study.
"Prince, Brother, do you have something to ask me?"
The prince said coldly: "You presented the honeycomb briquettes to the emperor alone. You didn't listen to me when checking the treasury silver. You checked what you should check and what you shouldn't check. You couldn't stay in the Ministry of Revenue, and now you've returned to the Ministry of Works. You've made some money. Tell me, what other abilities and 'surprises' do you have that I don't know about?"
The prince had not yet realized that the purpose of checking the treasury silver was to "extend his life". Looking back now, Yinzhen was somewhat impressed by his royal father's methods. It was amazing that the beneficiary did not understand it!
"The honeycomb coal was made by my brother's princess in the backyard, the check for silver was ordered by the emperor, and the wool was a major plan to stabilize Mongolia. It was not convenient to go through the cabinet, so my brother directly handed it to the emperor.
If the second prince wants to take charge of this task, I can immediately report it to the emperor. I will never compete with the second prince. "
It's just something that belongs to him. Don't blame him for fighting back if you try to snatch it.
He has a clear conscience towards the crown prince. He never thought of fighting for the position before the crown prince fell in his previous life, and he cannot bring down the crown prince in this life.
After Soetu died, the prince had too few people to use. He became more and more confused and did things less and less organized.
After hearing this, the prince felt that Yinzhen was stubborn and scolded him. Yinzhen left Yuqing Palace with a gloomy face.
As soon as he left, what happened in Yuqing Palace was immediately presented to Kangxi. Kangxi was helpless: "Prince... Never mind, let's talk about it later!"
On the other hand, the atmosphere among the Eighth Prince's small group was quite subtle.
"Ninth brother, come to my house and have a chat!"
The Ninth Prince actually wanted to refuse, because because of the rumors, he hadn't visited his good brother for some time.
"Myna, why don't we go find a restaurant to talk?"
The Eighth Prince looked hurt: "Are you blaming me, Ninth Brother?"
The Ninth Prince shook his head: "How could that be?"
He blamed the Eighth Lady, but when he thought about their relationship as husband and wife, he couldn't say it out loud.
The Eighth Prince sighed and said, "I have found out that someone is fanning the flames of this rumor. It seems to be the work of the Crown Prince's men. Come to my house and tell me the details!"
The Ninth Prince finally nodded, and the Tenth Prince followed him.
In the study room of the Eighth Prince's residence, the three brothers were sitting. They didn't know what to say for a moment and it was very quiet.
The first to break the silence was the Tenth Prince: "Ninth Brother, Eighth Brother, why are you both silent?"
The Eighth Prince continued his words and looked at the Ninth Prince, saying, "Ninth brother, when you first got married, your Eighth Sister-in-law was too young, and she was spoiled by her family, so she didn't know how to behave. I, your brother, apologize to you on behalf of my wife."
Upon hearing this, the Ninth Prince smiled, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He had heard too many rumors recently, and when he thought of what his wife had said, he seemed to realize that his wife had really been wronged.
But between the lines in his words, Myna didn't mean for his wife to apologize to his wife.
"Brother Ba, what you said is serious. These are all old things and not worth talking about. It's just that Sister-in-law Ba is too good at offending people. Sister-in-law Ba listens to Brother Ba. Please have a good talk with Sister-in-law Ba. Stay away from my wife at the banquet in the future. I really can't control her."
The Ninth Prince still supported the Eighth Prince, even though he was uncomfortable, but he was used to following the Eighth Prince. The Eighth Lady's reputation was indeed not very good, so he said this for the Eighth Prince's own good.
The Eighth Prince smiled and said: "I will tell your Eighth Sister-in-law and ask her to be careful with her words and actions in the future."
The Tenth Prince was drinking tea, smiling but saying nothing.
At this time, the Eighth Prince asked: "Why did you want to go to Mongolia, Ninth Brother? If you go to Mongolia, you will be far away from the court. The time you are away can be long or short, and it will not be easy to come back."
Now, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Kangxi is dissatisfied with the Crown Prince. The Eighth Prince is too eager to bring the Crown Prince down. Now that the Ninth Prince has left the capital, he can be of less help to him.
The Ninth Prince was silent for a while before speaking: "There are rumors flying all over the capital about us brothers. I want to go out and hide."
The Eighth Prince's eyes darkened and he sighed: "It's my fault for both of you!"
Ninth Prince: "This is not my fault, but I have something to say. No matter how much I love my sister-in-law, I should know my limits. If it really doesn't work, you can bring the pregnant princess back from the farm, so that my sister-in-law won't have to worry about my sister-in-law..."
Before he could finish his words, the door of the study was suddenly pushed open. The three of them looked over and saw the Eighth Lady standing at the door with a gloomy face.
The Ninth Prince felt a little guilty for a rare moment. After all, he was talking about someone behind their back, and it would not be good if the person concerned heard it.
The Eighth Prince stood up and walked over with a smile: "Fujin, why are you here?"
The Eighth Lady snorted coldly and squinted at the Ninth Prince: "If I don't come, how can I hear what's in my heart, Ninth Brother?"
When the Ninth Prince heard her tone, his guilty feeling disappeared. He was telling the truth.
"Brother Ba, how can the servants around you do things? Sister Ba can go into the study in the front yard whenever she wants. You are just a woman, you are pampering her too much!"
The Ninth Prince looked at the Eighth Prince, and the Eighth Lady also looked at the Eighth Prince.
"Ninth brother, Fu Jin is not an outsider. I will pay attention to her in the future."
Neither of them was satisfied with the attempt to smooth things over, but the Eighth Lady was aware of the recent rumors and did not say anything more.
The Ninth Prince heard that the Eighth Prince was protecting the Eighth Lady, and he was unhappy, and said with a bit of sarcasm: "The Eighth Prince is considerate to the Eighth Lady, it seems that I, as a younger brother, must learn from him. In the future, I must also listen to the Lady's opinions more. After all, the Lady is not an outsider."
He had embarrassed his wife so many times because of the Eighth Prince, but today he was just telling the truth, and the Eighth Lady's attitude made him very angry. The Eighth Prince's attitude was still unclear.
The Tenth Prince looked innocent: "If the Ninth Brother wants to learn from the Eighth Brother, then I want to learn too. When I go back, I will hand over the backyard to Fu Jin to make all the decisions. I don't want to manage it anyway."
The Eighth Prince sensed the Ninth Prince's displeasure. The Eighth Lady was a proud person, so he could coax her any way he wanted in private but he could not embarrass her in person. For a moment, he was in a dilemma.
It's time to replace the servant guarding the gate. When someone comes, at least inform them.
The Eighth Prince looked at his wife and said, "Wife, I have something to discuss with my Ninth and Tenth Brothers. Please go back to the backyard first. I will come back to you later, okay?"
The Eighth Lady looked unhappy, but she was still ready to get up and go back.
After all, it's not that she doesn't understand the situation, she's just taking advantage of the Ninth Prince's obedient attitude towards the Eighth Prince to act like a demon.
The Ninth Prince was unhappy: "Stop it, Eighth Brother. Sister-in-law is not a stranger. We should leave to save Eighth Brother from embarrassment."
The Eighth Prince had a headache.
Although the Eighth Lady is spoiled, she still knows her limits when dealing with external affairs. She has been indulged by the Eighth Prince to the point that she has lost her sense of self-control. She is used to the Ninth Prince bowing to her in everything, and now he is unwilling to bow his head. The Eighth Lady has not changed her previous attitude, and she feels that the Ninth Prince is deliberately making things difficult for her and the Eighth Prince.
She just "exploded".
"I say, ninth brother, you should know when to stop. What do you mean by that? Could it be that you are going to Mongolia because of the recommendation of the fourth brother next door? Since you are not in the capital often in the future, you can disrespect your brother and sister-in-law?"
The Ninth Prince was confused by the Eighth Lady's sudden sense of superiority. He did intend to make things difficult for the Eighth Prince, but he just wanted the Eighth Prince to choose between the Lady and his brothers.
For the first time, he realized that perhaps his wife was really mad at the Eighth Wife and that was why she was opposing her in every way. He became furious when he heard what the Eighth Wife said.
The Eighth Prince's eloquence had no effect at all between his brothers and his wife.
The Ninth Prince stared at the Eighth Prince and said, "Sister-in-law knows about the palace incident as soon as it happens. She is really well-informed! A good man does not fight with a woman. But since Sister-in-law has said so, Brother Eighth, why don't you explain to me where I have disrespected you, brother and sister-in-law? Explain clearly so that I can change."
The Eighth Prince frowned and said, "Come here, take Fu Jin back."
The Eighth Lady was forcibly taken back to the backyard.
After she left, the Eighth Prince apologized: "It is the Eighth Prince and his wife who are sorry for you. Your sister-in-law has a quick temper. I apologize to you on her behalf."
The Ninth Prince waved his hand: "No, I can't bear it. I have something else to do at home. I'll go back first. We'll talk later."
After saying this, he stood up and left. When the Tenth Prince saw his Ninth Brother leaving, he quickly followed suit.
On the way back, the Ninth Prince's face was so gloomy that ink could drip out of it, and the Tenth Prince didn't even dare to joke with him.
