Chapter 867: Unruly

On this day, outside Changchun Garden, colorful flags were waved.

Prince Beile, civil and military officials gathered outside Changchun Garden to send the priest out of the capital. Among the princes, the third prince, the ninth prince, the fifteenth prince, and the sixteenth prince are often in front of the imperial court. In addition, there are the tenth prince who has been "retreated" for many years, the fifteenth prince, and the twenty-two prince who has appeared in front of the court officials for the first time.

These two young princes were both born in the 50th year of Kangxi and are only ten years old this year. The former was born by the nobleman Chen of Xi, and the latter was born by the nobleman Se Hetu of Jin.

In addition to the prince of Suihu, several princes who stayed in the capital also arrived in Changchun Garden. Among them, the Thirteenth Prince and the Seventeenth Prince are both princes who have been "responsive" for a long time. Although they have "recovered from serious illness", they still look a little bit clear.

Most of the other adult princes have been awarded titles and are dressed according to their grades. The Thirteenth Prince is over, but like other little princes, she wears a royal blue prince to serve, which has attracted many people's attention.

The Thirteenth Prince only did not see him, and his face showed a little indifferentness. The Seventeenth Prince has always been close to him and brought several young princes in the palace to speak with the Thirteenth Prince.

God is pitiful to see that the three underage little princes, only the twenty-four princes were still two or three before the "destroyed prince". However, I still don't remember it at that time. This is the first time that the two young princes, such as the twenty-first prince and the twenty-second prince, met his brother.

If an ordinary family is still a child in his teens; if someone comes from the palace, he is not young at the age of ten.

The two little princes, looking at the thin-faced middle-aged prince in front of them, could not be equated with the legendary "Termao Shisanlang" who was most favored by the emperor's father.

The twenty-first prince is still good, and his pretty little face shows a bit of obedience. He listens to the Thirteenth prince and the seventeenth prince respectfully. Although the twenty-second prince is half a year younger, he looks at the Thirteenth prince and his eyes are a little weird.

Even if I heard people occasionally mention this "Thirteenth Brother", I was still vague. "Circle" or something, why are you here now?

Besides, since he is the "Thirteenth Brother", shouldn't he be about the same age as the "Thirteenth Brother", why do he look older than the fifth brother and the seventh brother?

The child just didn't hide his curiosity and had no malice.

The fourth prince who came by next to him had a little anger in his eyes. He thought that the twenty-second prince had bad character, and he looked at the snobbishness at a young age, and felt a little displeasure in his heart.

At this moment, the Thirteenth Prince and the Seventeenth Prince both saw the Fourth Prince, hurriedly said, and turned around. Brothers had seen it.

The fourth prince has never liked to laugh. He looked stern, and the young princes were all trembling and saluted respectfully.

The fourth prince swept across the faces of the twenty-two princes and the twenty-two princes, and finally fell on the face of the twenty-first princes. He asked a few words indifferently who followed him this time, whether he was preparing to ride a horse or not.

The twenty-first prince was eloquent and answered one by one, and his voice was crisp.

The fourth prince's face became more gentle, and the princes all thought it was rare in their hearts. The twenty-second prince even became bolder and called "Fourth brother" a few pleasingly, and took the initiative to mix a few words.

The fourth prince agreed with a smile, and he had complained about the little brother's upbringing. He had already blamed Concubine Xuan, who raised the twenty-second prince; on the contrary, because the twenty-first prince was well dealt with, he had a good impression of Concubine He.

The biological mothers of these two little princes are not of high rank, so they are kept in the palaces of Concubine Xuan and Concubine He respectively.

The sound of rituals and music came from afar. The Sixteenth Prince brought two eunuchs over and picked up several little princes to return to the team.

As the rituals and music approached, the emperor ascended to the chariot and took the escort clan members and civil and military officials to leave Changchun Garden in a mighty manner...

Everyone knelt down and saw him off. When the chariot was nowhere to be seen from a distance, the eunuch who held the ceremonial voice shouted in the duckling.

Prince Zhuang Bo Guoduo was old. After kneeling for a while, his legs and feet became a little numb, and he kept humming and was helped up by two little eunuchs.

Among the royal kings, he was the oldest and had the highest seniority. Everyone had to stop and wait for him to go first. All the princes and belles stopped, and those civil and military ministers who came to see him off naturally couldn't move first.

But Bo Guoduo left without a hurry. He held the eunuch's hand and walked to the Thirteenth Prince staggeringly and stopped. He said with a smile: "Oh, isn't this the Thirteenth Prince? Is this the Thirteenth Prince? Is this the illness cured? Yes, it's been more than ten years, and the young man has to raise an old man. If it's not good, I'm afraid... cough... No wonder the emperor is thinking about you, the treasure prince. We immortals should also make room for you. Since we value this, we want to issue the decree to be awarded a title. What's the point? At least we must be a prince. At that time, the Thirteenth Prince will remember to carry us."

It is said that "there is no slap in the face, and the weaknesses are not exposed." Bo Guoduo's words are full of thorns and are unwilling to leave any room for the royal officials.

Bo Guoduo would rather offend the prince than speak quickly for a while, but he was really angry.

In the first month, when the bank bidding bid, the Thirteenth Prince took the Shandong Wang family to intercept the cloth from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which ruined the Cheng family's transactions and made Bo Guoduo shameless, which made him feel unhappy. However, it was just a bit of a shame and did not make Bo Guoduo suffer in money. He just said that the Thirteenth Prince was not familiar with the worldly affairs.

In March, the Thirteenth Prince's illness improved. Kangxi was determined to let his son come back, and finally "compassionately" Bo Guoduo's old age, so he ordered the Thirteenth Prince to take care of his job as the Ministry of Revenue.

Bo Guoduo naturally did not dare to complain about the emperor's "sympathy". He hated him so much that he said that he should drink the northwest wind next year.

But he didn't think about it. The name of the royal palace, more than a dozen farms and thousands of acres of fertile land were just for support of his family, and the cost was not inferior to that of the palace. After all, it was still the word "greed".

However, the emperor has not had a great court these days, and the two have no chance to meet.

Now, after finally meeting, the fire in Bo Guoduo's belly popped out. After finally waiting for the Emperor to leave, he didn't have any idea.

A prince with an iron hat and a prince who made a comeback, this is a direct match. Many people secretly looked at the Thirteenth Prince, some intentionally watching the fun, while others were worried.

The Thirteenth Prince's expression remained unchanged. He looked at Bo Guoduo, and after a while he showed a smile, he slowly said: "The prince's eyes are not dazzled, it is indeed Yinxiang who is back..."

His voice was not loud, but because of the silence around him, it was clearly heard into the ears of everyone.

He was not proud or timid, but said this sentence in a plain tone, but for some reason, Bo Guoduo's heart trembled.

He suddenly remembered that more than ten years ago, even when he was the prince, he gave a small item to please the prince every few days, and he felt a chill on his back.

He turned around and glanced at everyone. Seeing the fifth prince, the seventh prince and others who were always good-tempered, frowned and showed some dissatisfaction, knowing that he had just passed.

Regardless of whether the emperor really let the Thirteenth Prince come back, whether the Thirteenth Prince has a title or not, the Thirteenth Prince is a prince. The few people standing in front of him are all his brothers.

It is true that the royal family has no affection, but the princes do not mention intrigue. As they watch their brothers be humiliated by others in front of everyone, few princes can bear it.

Bo Guoduo's face was a little stiff, and he squeezed out a little smile. He reached out and patted the Thirteenth Prince on the shoulder, and said kindly: "It's good to come back. The errands of the Ministry of Revenue are trivial. Don't work too hard. It's easy to take care of it, so you can avoid worrying the emperor."

The Thirteenth Prince replied with a smile, Bo Guoduo laughed awkwardly, holding the eunuch's hand, walking very fast, not like an old man in his seventies.

The royal kings and civil and military ministers also left one after another this time.

The Seventeenth Prince looked at the Thirteenth Prince and originally wanted to walk with him, but when he saw the Fourth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince, he walked a few steps and talked to the Seventh Prince.

He is close to the fourth prince, and the thirteenth prince two brothers are true, but it is okay to be with one person alone. If the three of them fall into the eyes of outsiders, they will be suspected of "forming a clique" and he will not be dissatisfied with the people.

The Thirteenth Prince followed the Fourth Prince and only stopped smiling when he got on the Fourth Prince's carriage.

When the bamboo curtain of the carriage was lowered, the fourth prince was already furious and said with a dark face: "This old man, don't know how to live or die!"

Seeing him like this, the Thirteenth Prince was quite uneasy and hurriedly said, "It's just that I lost my job and took off my anger. I can't see you for a long time. It's not worth being angry with the Fourth Brother."

The fourth prince looked at the Thirteenth prince and said for a while: "How about I'll give a memorial in a few days? The Thirteenth brother is over thirty years old and will be awarded the title soon... Among the brothers, even if the twelfth brother is late, he will be awarded the title at the age of twenty-six..."

Upon hearing this, the Thirteenth Prince waved his hand vigorously and said, "The Fourth Brother feels sorry for my younger brother, I know everything. But now there are many people waiting to see my younger brother laughing. If I make a fuss, I will be shameless and greedy in the eyes of everyone... The Emperor Ama may not have forgotten this on purpose. It's just that the brothers were not awarded titles as the sons of the royal family. They were just one time to catch up with the titles. Now the Fifteenth Brother and the others have already passed the titles, so they have not even been awarded the titles, so there is no news of the opening of the mansion..."

These two brothers have always been close to each other. The Fourth Prince also knew what the Thirteenth Prince said was true. He nodded and said, "You are right. The Emperor Ma didn't just forget you... The prince's title is a big deal after all. The Emperor Ma was busy with the war in the northwest in the past two years, so he didn't care about it..."

Guangzhou, Wangjia Villa.

Looking at the beauty in front of her wearing a fluffy skirt and blonde hair, Cao Yong was a little surprised.

I think there is no future generations who think that thinness is beautiful. This little beauty is round and smooth, with two and three chins. She doesn't look like a seventeen-year-old girl, but like a doll of the size of the first size.

"You are the Earl Lord Zhang Yi's master whom brother-in-law often talks about? " She looked tender on her face, but not short, and wearing high heels, she was almost the same as Cao Yong, and asked loudly.

The voice is a bit stiff, but the pronunciation is quite clear. Perhaps it is Chinese dialect learned from Wei Xin, with a bit of Jiangning accent.

It is worthy of being a pirate ancestor, and the little girl actually showed a bit of domineering spirit. It seems that this second lady of the Ai family can be a helper to her father and compete with her uncles for a reason. Just talking about this momentum of talking to others is a complete task.

Cao Yong nodded and said, "Miss is right. I am Wei Xin's friend Cao Yong."

Seeing that Cao Yong was warm and did not show off his noble airs, she felt a little embarrassed to say loudly. She stretched her skirt and performed a Western court ceremony, saying, "It's a great honor to see you. Lord Earl, my name is Gina, and Ada is my sister."

Cao Yong was not familiar with the Western etiquette three hundred years ago, so he nodded, and he had seen it. He pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Miss Gina, please sit down."

While speaking, servants already brought tea.

Seeing Cao Yong's motionless look, Gina couldn't help but feel a little calm. She didn't care about the fragrant tea in front of her and asked, "Is the Earl going to Guangzhou this time to prepare for the Europa voyage?"

After hearing this, Cao Yong shook his head and said, "I don't plan to go out to sea. Miss Gina wants to go to Europa?"

Gina looked at Cao Yong in confusion and said, "Don't you Chinese pay the most attention to 'loyalty'? My brother-in-law has lost news for more than a year. As his good friend, why don't you be in a hurry?"

Cao Yong did not reply. To be honest, Wei Xin was very important in his heart, but besides his friends, he had other morals to bear.

Cao Yong has always admired the person who has been trying his best to do his best.

Seeing that Cao Yong didn't say anything, Gina bit her lip and said, "Sorry, whether to go to Europa is the private matter of Lord Earl. I'm rude. I'm worried about my sister and brother-in-law, I want to go to Europa to find them, but I can't leave it. So I thought it would be great if Lord Earl went."

Cao Yong was not in the mood to explain to a little girl what step he would do for Wei Xin.

"The ships coming from Europa this year will arrive one after another in May. Maybe your brother-in-law and brother-in-law will be on the boat. Miss Gina, it's useless to be anxious, so wait and see." Cao Yong said.

Although I knew it was a comforting word, Gina still sincerely thanked Cao Yong and drank the tea gracefully.

Cao Yong's heart never knew whether Wei Xin was safe or not was in the hands of God.

Every year from May to August, it is the summer monsoon climate, and ocean-going ships come back at this time.

If Wei Xin didn't come back and there was no news about him, then the ship he rode last year would be in danger.

Thinking of this, Cao Yong didn't know that he should have hoped that the days would pass soon, waiting for the monsoon climate to come, and looking forward to Wei Xin's return; or it would be later in May, so as not to hear bad news...

At this moment, Gina had already drunk half a cup of tea, stood up and said, "I won't disturb the Count again today. My father will come to Guangzhou in a few days. Then there will be a foreign party. If you have time, I hope you can come here, so that we can show our hearts."

Cao Yong stood up and said, "I am very honored to be invited, so I will bother you."

Gina owed her body and said goodbye and left.

Cao Yong asked Zhang Yi to give it to him and took two sips of tea himself.

It was clearly the best-selling Longjing in front of the rain, but I felt only bitter at the entrance.
