Chapter 2097 Movement
The Twelfth Prince agreed and rode slowly on his horse back to Beijing, thinking of going to Ningshou Palace the next morning to mention the outing to the nanny.
The weather nowadays is a bit too hot for young people, but it is just right for the elderly.
The twelfth prince had just been to Ningshou Palace a few days ago, and Madam Su was still wearing a vest.
In this case, you should avoid traveling in the morning and evening.
He carried a pocket watch with him and calculated the time so that he could return to the palace before the palace gates closed.
After entering the prince's residence, he went straight back to the main courtyard.
The eunuch at the back brought a food box, which contained cherries and elm seed cakes that Shushu had brought.
The Twelfth Lady was originally sitting, but when she saw him come in, she hurriedly stood up to greet him, with a somewhat forced smile on her face.
The 12th Prince's heart trembled when he saw this. He looked at the 12th Lady and asked, "What's wrong? Is there any news from Ningshou Palace?"
The twelfth concubine was startled, then shook her head and said with a smile: "No, it's Li Gege who is pregnant..."
You have to know that this Li Gege was not from an ordinary bannerman family. Her family had a title and she was the cousin of Li Gege of Yuqing Palace.
The Li family was very large and prosperous, and only one branch was punished before.
The Li family also has a prince named Hongxi, and no one can predict what his future will be like.
This time, Li Gege is pregnant. If she gives birth to a prince, she will definitely be made a concubine in the future.
So the Twelfth Lady's smile seemed a little forced.
The twelfth prince seemed to be in a daze, and for some reason he thought of what the ninth prince had said before.
The little prince has been reincarnated.
Is this the little brother coming again?
"How long is the pregnancy?"
The twelfth prince asked.
The twelfth concubine said: "Two months..."
The twelfth prince was a little excited.
Isn't that exactly the same day as the death of the little prince?
He looked at the Twelfth Lady and said, "Let's arrange for an elderly person to be by Li's side, and let Madam Qing go over and take care of her for a while."
That was the nanny of the Twelfth Prince, and one of the people he trusted the most.
It's not that the Twelfth Prince is wary of the Twelfth Lady, but he is afraid that this is Li's first pregnancy and she won't know how to take good care of herself, and might give birth to a sickly child.
The twelfth wife felt bitter in her mouth, but under the gaze of the twelfth prince, she nodded and said, "That's fine. Li is young, and she can rest assured with a nanny by her side to take care of her."
The twelfth prince pointed at the cherries and elm seed cakes and said, "This is what Sister-in-law Ninth asked me to bring back for you. Try some. I'll go to the front yard..."
He was already impatient and wanted to go to the study to copy scriptures.
I just hope this child can be safe.
The nanny never asked about her own offspring, but as she gets older, who doesn’t want to have grandchildren?
The Twelfth Lady escorted the Twelfth Prince out and stood in the corridor watching his figure disappear.
When she returned to the main room, she asked someone to wash the cherries and ate them one by one.
She was filled with confusion.
Her brother was a close associate of the Crown Prince, and she had naturally hoped that the Crown Prince would ascend the throne smoothly and that her elder brother would rise to prominence.
Now that there is Princess Li in the family, the Twelfth Lady has become more selfish.
The twelfth prince is ranked so low in the hierarchy that he has no obvious distance from his brothers. No matter who comes to power, no one will bully his younger brother.
After all, the Twelfth Prince’s maternal family is ordinary, but he still has his wife’s family.
But what if the prince comes to power?
He looked down upon the older princes, let alone the twelfth prince, the younger prince whose mother was of low birth.
On the contrary, Li Gege will rise to prominence when the time comes...
The twelfth prince did not take the initiative to inquire about the affairs of Haidian, but everyone else knew more or less.
South Second Institute.
The Third Prince looked at the Third Lady and said in dissatisfaction, "You are the eldest daughter of the Duke's family. Why didn't your father-in-law think of giving you a manor in Haidian as a dowry?"
The manors in the capital are all in the hands of royal family members and nobles.
Dong E's family also has a garden in Haidian, but it is in the direction of Haidian Town.
The Third Lady was very unhappy to hear this groundless accusation, and said, "Why is Master only talking about me? Master is so capable, why doesn't he have a manor in Haidian under his name? And the Ma family has worked in the imperial kitchen for decades, but they haven't even offered a manor to the Madam as a token of their filial piety?"
The third prince couldn't sit still and paced back and forth on the ground.
After being suppressed by the eldest prince and the crown prince for these years, he is now being overtaken by the fifth prince?
The Fifth Prince just looks honest, but he knows what's going on in his heart.
When has he ever suffered any loss in these years?
"These two brothers are going to work together, even bringing the Eighteenth Prince along..."
The Third Prince murmured.
The Third Lady rolled her eyes and said, "You think too much, Master. Can't the Fifth Prince be filial to the Empress Dowager?"
If the Fifth Prince really had other intentions, the royal family would not be in its current state.
He can’t rely on his wife’s family or his mother’s family, and the Fifth Prince himself is a fool, what can he fight for?
The Third Prince curled his lips and said, "Nonsense! Does the Imperial Grandmother like to go out? She went there for Khan Ama. Khan Ama is the most filial to the Imperial Grandmother. He must be worried about the Imperial Grandmother going out, so he followed her to check on her."
The Third Lady didn't want to talk anymore.
It's not like you're going far away, it's only a dozen miles away, what's there to worry about?
It was obvious that the Emperor knew that his sons were honoring the Empress Dowager, and he was in a good mood, so he brought Concubine Yi to join in the fun.
Or maybe Concubine Yi asked directly, and the Emperor took his beloved concubine out for a reunion dinner.
Thinking of this, the Third Lady thought of Concubine Rong.
Before, her mother-in-law also had this dignity. Among all the princes and princesses, the emperor treated the second princess and the third prince the best.
As a result, in the past few years, first the Ma family was liquidated, and then Concubine Rong was demoted and sealed off from the palace. Now, even though the ban has been lifted and her position as concubine has been restored, things are different from before.
The Third Prince was still nagging, saying, "No, I have to ask around for a manor in Haidian, and then I can trade it with someone for a piece of land..."
Having said that, he looked at the Third Lady, thinking about the possibility of exchanging land with the Dong'e family.
It is definitely not possible to directly exchange the Dong E family's garden. I don't know if the Dong E family has other farms in Haidian. I will send someone to inquire about it tomorrow.
The Third Lady was very surprised when she heard this and said, "Master, you want to build a garden yourself, don't you want to wait for the gift?"
You know, building a garden is a bottomless pit, and it will cost a huge amount of money.
If you want to show off these lake rocks, flowers and trees, you have to send people to the south of the Yangtze River to buy them.
The Third Prince glanced at her and said, "You spendthrift woman, why are you building a garden? I want to build a farm. When the time comes, we won't raise poultry and livestock, but will plant more vegetables and crops, and send people to find some new seeds."
The Third Lady immediately lost interest and said, "It's just a farmyard, what's so special about it? There are so many imperial rice fields next to it, does the emperor really want to see the crops?"
The Third Prince shook his head and said, "Summer insects cannot talk about ice! Is that a farmland? That is the joy of farming..."
The Third Lady was not interested.
What she was concerned about was when the South Third Institute would hold a dinner party.
Before, whether it was the Tousuo or Taoyuan Book House that entertained guests, they were all legitimate princesses.
The princess from the South Third House was born out of wedlock.
Thinking of this, Sanfujin felt a pang of fear in her heart.
If my eldest princess hadn't died, then it would be my turn to treat the guests...

The third building in the south is the main house.
The Fourth Prince was sitting at the table on the kang, watching the Second Princess writing an invitation.
He has always been a strong-willed person, and since it was his daughter's first time hosting a party, he didn't want her to lag behind her cousins.
He said to the Fourth Lady, "My Master has ordered a troupe of jugglers, and we will show the children some magic tricks."
The Fourth Lady asked, "Should we set up a platform? Wouldn't it be too narrow in the yard?"
The Fourth Prince said, "I have already told the Twelfth Prince that it will take a day to clean up the Fifth Residence, and then we will host the banquet there."
There are eleven courtyards in total, including the North Sixth and South Fiveth, and it has not been decided which family will occupy which courtyard.
However, everyone agreed that every adult prince had a courtyard.
The fifth courtyard was empty, and the twelfth prince had not been to Haidian in the past few years, but the fourth prince had already assumed that it was the twelfth prince's courtyard and greeted him.
The Fourth Lady said, "That's perfect. The peonies are in bloom at the flower market right now. We can buy some for the children to enjoy."
After Ergege finished writing the last post, she put down her pen and said, "Ernie, isn't it too wasteful? What about the flowers in the greenhouse at home?"
The Fourth Prince also has a greenhouse in Xiaotangshan, where he grows vegetables and many flowers.
The Fourth Lady said, "The flowers in the greenhouse bloom in autumn and winter. There are no flowers or trees in this season."
The Fourth Prince said, "In addition to the things to play and see, the food must also be exquisite. I have booked a Buddhist from Tanzhe Temple who is good at making vegetarian food. We can ask him to come over and cook the vegetarian dishes when the time comes."
The Fourth Lady nodded and said, "It's hot today, and the sisters are young and have weak stomachs, so it's better for them to eat light food."
The second princess was listening and hesitated, saying, "Father, Enie, should I ask sister Tana about her plans?"
The Fourth Prince and the Fourth Lady both stopped talking.
The Fourth Prince looked at the Second Princess and said, "That's not necessary. You are the elder sister, so she should follow your example."
The second princess nodded, looking forward to it, and said, "I heard that Uncle Wu asked people to buy a lot of parrots. I wonder if he will give us some parrots in return..."
The Fourth Prince looked disapproving when he heard this. He touched his Buddhist beads and said, "You are still young and need someone to take care of you. How can you take care of this?"
Children do not know the truth about life and death, nor do they have any respect for others. The result of raising living things is that they will die within two days.

North Sixth Building, study in the front yard.
The Ninth Prince was talking to the Tenth Prince about the clockwork Buddha statues and deities.
"Let's not set up the Lifanyuan anymore. I don't know if that will benefit my grandson in the future. I'll do it myself. Tomorrow I'll see if there are any empty houses in the imperial city and then rent one from the Ministry of Internal Affairs..."
The Ninth Prince said, "I'll give you a share when the time comes. The ones from the capital will be sold directly in my sister-in-law's foreign goods shop..."
The Tenth Prince did not nod immediately and asked, "What about the Fifth Brother?"
The Ninth Prince shook his head and said, "It doesn't count as Fifth Brother this time, we'll talk about it next time..."
The Ninth Prince is not a weakling.
Just by looking at this dinner party hosted by Baiwangshan, he understood a truth.
He can be close to the Tenth Prince, and he can also have a deep brotherly relationship with his brothers, but he cannot bring the Tenth Prince and the Fifth Brother together.
If that happens, not only will the emperor look at him with suspicion, the Crown Prince and my eldest brother will probably also be worried.
When the Tenth Prince saw that the Ninth Prince had an idea, he nodded and said, "Well, don't worry about the house, Ninth Prince. I own several houses in the imperial city..."
The Ninth Prince wondered, "Why didn't I know you had a house in the Imperial City? Aren't all houses in the Imperial City under the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
The tenth prince said, "It was given to my aunt by Khan Ama in the early years to collect rent and interest, and it has never been taken back..."
