My father is Yongzheng, and I am Qianlong?

Chapter 7 A Gift to Kangxi

Kangxi glanced at Yongzheng and Hongli and said with a smile, "What exactly is this gift? It's not suitable to be announced to the public yet. Bring it here for me to see."

So, Yongzheng gently pushed Hongli and whispered a few words to him.

Hongli personally took the gift to Kangxi.

After seeing Hongli, Kangxi looked very kind and benevolent because of the generation gap between them and the fact that he had been on the throne for sixty years, far longer than any other emperor in history. He waved to Hongli and asked him to come closer.

Hongli moved closer and took the opportunity to steal a glance at the rabbit shooting expert.

how to say.

He discovered that Kangxi's demeanor was indeed somewhat similar to that of an old man named Jiao.

Kangxi has already opened the brocade box.

After seeing that it was a drawing filled with words and symbols, he took out the medicine for treating presbyopia and began to read it carefully.

Kangxi did have some talent in mathematics and had a strong learning ability.

So, after watching for a while, Kangxi's expression changed and he stood up unconsciously.

Many princes and ministers came to attend the "Banquet for a Thousand Old Men" today.

Most of the brothers have come here.

Even the fourteenth brother, who was fighting in the northwest, temporarily put aside his military duties and asked for permission to return to Beijing early. Now he is standing next to the eighth, ninth and tenth brothers.

Now, these princes and ministers all looked at Kangxi with curiosity, and then looked at Hongli.

They were obviously very curious about what kind of gift Hongli gave to Kangxi that could make the knowledgeable Kangxi so stunned.

You know, even though many of the gifts they sent were amazing, such as tall coral trees, rare Ganoderma lucidum, and a divine turtle with auspicious words on its back, they were not able to make Kangxi lose his mind for so long.

"Yinlu!"

Kangxi suddenly called out at this time.

At this time, Kangxi's sixteenth son, Yinlu, immediately walked towards Kangxi.

Everyone only knows that Yinlu is good at mathematics, but what many people don’t know is that Yinlu, like Longkodo and others, is a member of the Fourth Master’s Party hiding in the dark.

Yongzheng was testing Hongli's true mathematical and physics level, and the questions he gave Hongli were provided by Yinlu.

Therefore, Yinlu actually already knew that Hongli had "high" attainments in mathematics and physics, and he also knew about the Vieta theorem that Hongli brought out.

But Yinlu still walked over pretending to be confused: "Khan Ama, what's the matter?"

"Look at this presented by Hongli."

Kangxi suddenly laughed and gave Yinlu the paper on which Hongli had written the proof of Vieta's theorem.

For Kangxi, if a Han Chinese studied mathematics, he would be very angry, but if the descendants of his own Aisin Gioro family studied mathematics, he would be very happy.

Kangxi even did not want his descendants of the Aisin-Gioro family to be too immersed in metaphysical knowledge, but hoped that they would focus more on practical studies. For this reason, he also supported the ninth brother, who loved learning foreign languages, to learn foreign languages.

After Yinlu received the "gift", he pretended to read it seriously, and deliberately read it longer than Kangxi. Then he looked at Hongli in astonishment and said to Kangxi sincerely:

"Khan Ama, Fourth Brother's Hongli is a great talent. His talent in mathematics and physics far surpasses yours."

"Yes, you, as an uncle, are not as good as your nephew!"

Kangxi said this with a smile, then clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Interesting!"

then.

Kangxi looked at Hongli and said, "Hongli, this new discovery you presented is truly excellent! It's rare that you were able to prove it, and it's certainly not something that should be publicized."

"I like this gift very much."

Kangxi said this with a smile, and then handed the jade ruyi that he often played with to Hongli: "This is a reward for you!"

Hongli quickly took it and said, "Thank you, Khan Mafa!"

Kangxi then said to Yongzheng, "Fourth Brother, Hongli is a clever child. He will stay in the palace to accompany me for a few years. When you take him back tonight, have someone prepare something for him and ask him to come to Changchun Garden in two days."

"Whoo!"

Yongzheng raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

But the eighth prince Yinsi and the fourteenth prince Yinzhen looked solemn, as if they were thinking about something.

Hongli held the smooth and white jade ruyi in his hand and deliberately looked around, looking for the figure of the Thirteenth Prince Yinxiang.

But he found that Yinxiang did not come.

It is obvious that Kangxi did not allow Yinxiang to attend the celebration.

He couldn't help but curl his lips in disappointment when Yongzheng looked at him.

Yongzheng, who was feeling happy, noticed Hongli's hesitant gaze and his unhappy expression.

Naturally, he guessed who Hongli was looking for.

This moved him very much.

At the same time, Yongzheng felt even more guilty, and the joy on his face disappeared.

But Hongli was actually performing this act for Yongzheng to see. When he saw Yongzheng's depressed look, Hongli couldn't help but laugh secretly.

He knew that he had deceived Yongzheng!

"Ama, Uncle Thirteen doesn't seem to be here today."

Hongli also deliberately added fuel to the fire for Yongzheng, who already felt guilty about the Thirteenth Prince. After the palace banquet, he specifically mentioned the Thirteenth Prince to Yongzheng on the way home.

Yongzheng sighed and said, "Your Thirteenth Uncle said he was ill, but I think it's because your Khan Mafa didn't want him to come."

"Can my son plead with Uncle Thirteen in front of Khan Mafa?"

Hongli asked deliberately.

"cannot!"

"That will make your Khanmafa misunderstand your Thirteenth Uncle. Remember, in front of your Khanmafa, you are not allowed to say a single word about your Thirteenth Uncle. Even if Khanmafa asks you about your Thirteenth Uncle, you must pretend that you don't care about him or like him that much."

"Ah, why?"

Hongli deliberately looked at Yongzheng with reluctance and confusion.

Yongzheng sighed again: "Because every word you say to your Khanmafa, your Khanmafa may regard it as my opinion, my position!"

Hongli nodded: "Got it!"

Yongzheng smiled with a look of shame on his face and patted Hongli on the shoulder. Then, seeing Hongli's lonely face, he said to himself with emotion: "This child is more loyal and righteous than me!"

After returning home, Hongli told Niu Hulu and Haitang that he would go to Changchun Garden to accompany the emperor in two days.

Niu Hulu and Haitang were naturally very happy, and they started discussing what to prepare for him that night.

"I don't know if I'll be able to stay in my bed at Changchun Garden."

"It's okay. With Haitang here, I can fall asleep anywhere."

"I heard that the people in the palace are very strict with their rules. Will this make Hongli even more uncomfortable?"

Niohuru kept talking about this, as if Hongli was going to study thousands of miles away alone.

However, Hongli still went to school in the mansion during these two days.

Hongshi and Hongzhou also knew that Hongli was going to the palace to accompany the emperor.

Hong Zhou was a little unhappy about this. He knew that after Hongli entered the palace, he would have to play alone. After all, Hongshi was seven years older than him and they did not have much in common, and he did not like Hongshi either.

So, when Hong Zhou saw Hong Li the next day, he said, "Fourth brother, can you not come to the palace?"

"Who dares not to listen to Khanmafa's words?"

Hongli smiled and replied.

Hong Zhou said, "But I heard from Gege that the rules in the palace are stricter and there is less freedom than in the palace."

"Even so, if I go to the palace to accompany the emperor, I can have a wider world."

Hongli said something casually and then patted Hongzhou on the shoulder.

Hong Zhou didn't say anything after hearing this. At his age, he didn't know what it meant to have a broader horizon.

Hongshi was also very unhappy, mainly because he had never been treated like this before.

"Master Pan!"

Not long after, Pan Shiquan arrived.

Before he began his lecture, Pan Shiquan called Hongli aside under the pretext of whipping him, and whispered to him, "Fourth Prince, remember to mention the Fourth Master more often in front of your Khan."

"Don't worry, Master Pan."

Hongli nodded.

Pan Shiquan became more amiable.

"Isn't it just entering the palace to accompany the emperor? What's so great about that? When Uncle Fourteen ascends the throne and Uncle Eight takes power, I will only be more glorious than him!"

When Hongshi saw that Pan Shiquan, who was always serious, was so friendly to Hongli, he became even more jealous and started to grumble.

Just then.

Hongshi saw the doorman approaching and asked hurriedly, "What are you doing in the school?"

"Replying to Third Brother, Eighth Master has sent an invitation."

At this time, the doorman answered.

Hongshi stood up hurriedly: "Are you inviting me? Tell Mr. Ba's people that I'm going right away!"

"No, we are asking the Fourth Prince to go."

After the doorman answered, Hongshi was stunned for a moment.

Hongli came over from Pan Shiquan's place and asked the doorman, "Why did my eighth uncle invite me over?"

"I don't know either. Besides, the Fourteenth Master sent a small fine colt he brought back from the northwest, saying it was specially given to the Fourth Prince."
