My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 2106 Colorful Gate
Seeing that the eldest prince was determined to borrow the manor for a family trip, Zhang thought for a moment and said, "After all, it's Aunt Jiu's manor, not Uncle Jiu's. Don't ask for anything, I'll ask for it!"

The eldest prince was a little surprised. He looked at Zhang and said, "We are family. What's the difference between you speaking and me speaking?"

Zhang is a gentle and honest person. She usually doesn't take the initiative to take on things, but today is a rare occasion.

The first wife said, "Aunt Nine is the real boss. Aunt Twelve lives in the palace, not in Haidian. Uncle Twelve and Uncle Nine just asked for it. We should live in Haidian, so I'll borrow the manor!"

Husband and wife are one.

But marriage and childbirth are different.

If I don't tell the main person, it would seem like I'm using the Ninth Prince to pressure Shu Shu.

The eldest prince did not argue about this, and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Madam. My ninth brother's wife likes to shop for food. It just so happens that there is some surplus from the Dragon Boat Festival tribute. The steward bought some lily powder and osmanthus flowers. Ask someone to pack two boxes."

The eldest wife nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go tell Aunt Jiu tomorrow."

Today is April 18th, and the day after tomorrow is the day to pay respects to the Empress Dowager's Palace. We could have waited until the day after tomorrow when we came out of the North Garden and then went to the North Fifth House, but the First Lady thought that was not a good idea.

If you are asking for help, you must have a asking-for-help attitude.

After the eldest prince had lunch and left, Zhang sent the nanny to the North Fifth House to ask if Shushu was free the next day.

Although Shushu was somewhat curious about Zhang's intention, she did not ask much and said that she would be free the next day.

The nanny then said that the eldest lady wanted to visit the next day.

Shushu smiled and said, "Then I'll wait for my sister-in-law to come over."

After the nanny left, Baiguo sent her out. At the entrance of the fifth residence, the Seventh Lady happened to come and they bumped into her head-on.

The maid quickly stepped aside to make way and greeted.

The Seventh Lady recognized the person, called out, and then walked past the group of people and entered the fifth room.

The Seventh Lady came to meet Shushu and go together to pick up the children.

"Why did the sister-in-law send someone over here?"

The Seventh Lady was puzzled and asked Shushu casually when she saw him.

Although Zhang was about the same age as them, she was the eldest sister-in-law after all. Apart from paying respects and interacting with them on weekdays, she had no private relationship with them.

Shushu couldn't think of the reason, but thinking about the two pregnant women in Haidian, she said, "Maybe she's asking about Hongluo Temple?"

Zhang married into the Prince of Zhi's mansion forty years ago. This year is already the third year. Apart from her offspring, her biggest concern should be nothing else.

The Seventh Lady listened and nodded, saying, "She must be anxious, as next year will be the year for the talent show."

The emperor loves to appoint princesses to his princes, and every time he does so, he always includes the Prince Zhi's Mansion and the Yuqing Palace.

Shushu changed into clothes for going out, and her two sisters-in-law came out.

Just then, Guaerjia came out, and the three of them got on the same carriage.

Guwalgiya was also worried.

Next, it was Tana's turn to treat.

"When Master Wu heard that the Fourth Prince's residence was hosting a banquet at the South Fifth Residence, he felt that his home was too stuffy, so he said that we should wait until our eldest princess hosted a banquet and then go directly to the Tiger and Leopard Garden..."

Shushu and the Seventh Lady looked at each other.

After hearing this, Lady Seven expressed disapproval and said, "What does Uncle Wu think? He is not a little boy anymore, aren't you afraid that he will scare your nieces?"

They had also heard of the tiger and leopard garden enclosed in the imperial horse ranch.

Sometimes when I return to Beijing, I can still faintly hear the roar of tigers coming from there.

It's scary just to hear about it, let alone seeing it in person.

Shushu didn't comment.

Although it is called a tiger and leopard park, the tigers and leopards are not free-range. They are all in cages and are not dangerous.

It would be nice to see it for yourself.

Isn't that a zoo?

Guaerjia said helplessly: "I also advised them in this way, but the Fifth Master asked Princess Hailan and Princess Niguzhu before, and both of them said they were not afraid, so the Fifth Master planned to ask someone to arrange it."

The Seventh Lady said, "They are young and don't know what fear is. They are so foolish and brave. The older girls should not scare them."

Shushu said, "The tigers and leopards over there are all in cages. There are only little tigers and leopards. They are not allowed to get close to them. There is no need to worry too much."

The Seventh Lady listened to the advice, thought for a moment, looked at Guaerjia and said, "Why don't we go over and take a look someday? If we are not afraid, the children probably won't be afraid either."

Guaerjia said gratefully, "Will this... be too much trouble for you two ladies?"

The Fifth Prince was a man, and he followed the Emperor in hunting expeditions every year, so he was not afraid of tigers and leopards. However, for women and children, such ferocious beasts were somewhat terrifying.

You should go and have a look first.

The Seventh Lady smiled and said, "I'm free anyway..."

As she spoke, she looked at Shushu.

Shu Shu did not nod, but looked at Guaerjia and said, "It is not convenient for us to go directly. At that time, we will either trouble Uncle Wu or ask Uncle Jiu to take you. How about letting Uncle Wu accompany you? It seems more convenient?"

Guaerjia thought about it and her face turned red. She nodded and said, "Okay, let's see when Fifth Master is free and go over to take a look."

The Seventh Lady listened nearby and said nothing more, but she felt a little chill in her heart when she thought of the Fifth Lady.

With such a temperament and character, Guaerjia respected the Fifth Prince in everything and took good care of Tana Gege. The Second Prince also took her over to take care of her. The couple lived a small life in Haidian, just like other princes and their wives, so it was not surprising that she came to power later.

It's only been a few months, and no one mentions the Fifth Lady anymore...

When the sisters-in-law arrived at the South Third House, they saw the First, Third and Eighth Concubine were all there.

There was a card table in the hall, and it turned out that they were playing cards there just now.

The eldest wife smiled and said, "We had nothing to do in the afternoon, so we came here early. It was just right for us to gather four families."

This is the thoughtfulness of the first wife.

I saw that at every small banquet, the sisters-in-law would personally pick up and drop off the little princesses, and the eldest wife did the same.

The Third Lady was beaming with joy and said, "I am lucky today. I won three families with one family."

The Eighth Lady stood up without saying anything.

The Seventh Lady said with envy, "I will also organize a game some other day. My sisters-in-law and Eighth Sister-in-law will come over to play. We don't have enough people over there. The princess and Tenth Sister-in-law can't sit for long, and Thirteenth Sister-in-law hasn't come back yet."

The eldest wife smiled and said, "Then wait."

The Third Lady looked at Shushu and said, "When you host a party next time, don't forget to set up the card table."

Shu Shu shook her head and said, "I am exhausted. I finally got some fresh air outside. My sisters-in-law should stretch their muscles, too."

The Third Lady was moved and said, "Then let's set a date. I'll bring my horse over and you can ride it easily when the time comes."

The Fourth Lady looked at the Third Lady and asked, "Third sister-in-law, do you have a horse? Was it brought as a dowry in the early years?"

The Fourth Lady missed the days of riding horses.

But she had no horse now, and if she wanted to ride a horse, she had to talk to the Fourth Prince and find a gentle one from among the horses owned by him.

The Third Lady got married in the 31st year of her marriage. If she had brought the horse as a dowry at that time, it would have been old now.

The Third Lady shook her head, somewhat proudly, and said, "My brother and sister-in-law gave them to me two years ago. In addition to the horses given to Hongqing and Hongsheng, there are also two horses for me."

You should know that most of the horse farms outside the capital are in the hands of royal family members, and there are a number of nobles among them.

All the nobles who owned horse farms were founding dukes and marquises.

The first wife was also moved and said, "I brought the horse I rode in my early years to the Prince's Mansion."

The Third Lady said cheerfully, "Then ask someone to send the eldest sister-in-law to Haidian when the time comes. Let's see who can run faster."

The Seventh Lady also became interested and said, "I want to ride a horse, too..."

The fourth lady took Shushu in her arms and said, "Let's not do those fancy things. Let's just ride horses and play archery."

These people are all daughters of generals.

Shu Shu smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to my sisters-in-law. We're just going out to relax, so we can do whatever makes us happy."

Guaerjia listened from the side and felt even more envious.

There is a difference in age and in their upbringing since childhood.

By the time she grew her hair, the noble ladies of the Eight Banners had already begun to compose poetry, paint, and learn the Three Obediences and Four Virtues.

Everyone chatted and laughed, and then the invitation to go horseback riding was finalized.

The small banquet next door has also ended.

The second princess brought her sisters back.

Seeing that the elders were all there, the little princesses hurriedly called for help.

Then, they started chattering about today's little show.

"Such a big egg..."

Niguzhu's eyes widened and he gestured to everyone the size of a watermelon.

The sisters-in-law listened with smiles on their faces.

Magic tricks are enjoyed by people of all ages, and as you go out to parties and see them more often, there are only so many kinds.

The Third and Fourth Princesses stood behind Zhang. The Fourth Princess also said to Zhang, "It's fun to turn into a goldfish. I have hidden a dozen goldfish bowls on my body, but I don't know where I hide them."

Tana held Guarjia's hand and said, "The clothes were burned, but they are still in good condition, just like new clothes."

Hai Lan raised her hand towards the Seventh Lady and said, "Pigeons, there are pigeons..."

For a moment, the room was filled with the sound of children talking.

It's so lively.

The Eighth Lady's gaze fell on Niguzhu.

She is obviously the youngest princess, but her stature seems to be no smaller than the other two.

Niguzhu also saw the Eighth Lady and remembered the address she had given when she was meeting her just now: this was the Eighth Aunt.

This is my eighth aunt. She is so pretty, and the red silk dress she wears is glittering...
