My father is Yongzheng, and I am Qianlong?

Chapter 8: Teaching the Dog to Bite Hongshi
After hearing this, Hongshi looked at Hongli who was standing beside him.

His face was full of disbelief.

"Why would Fourteenth Uncle like Hongli?"

In Hongli's opinion, the fourteenth brother was the most arrogant among all his uncles.

Not to mention the younger generations like them, even Kangxi, in his impression, the Fourteenth Prince dared to take the blame.

He did not hide his disgust towards his brother and was always cold and indifferent to his nephew.

Although, he has always been very fawning and flattering to his fourteenth uncle.

But what Hongshi did not expect was that his arrogant fourteenth uncle would take the initiative to show goodwill to Hongli and give him a pony.

Of course, he didn't expect that his eighth uncle would take the initiative to invite Hongli to visit the Eighth Prince's Mansion.

He himself didn't think much of Hongli, who was born to a princess, but his eighth uncle actually thought highly of him and even took the initiative to invite him!

After Hongshi lost consciousness, he quickly understood that it was because Hongli wanted to accompany the emperor that his eighth uncle and fourteenth uncle began to take the initiative to get close to Hongli.

Hongli also knew that it was because he was going to enter the palace to accompany the emperor that he allowed the eighth and fourteenth brothers to get close to him.

During the Qing Dynasty when the monarchy reached its peak.

But as long as you are close to the core of power, you will inevitably have the opportunity to influence the highest decision-makers.

Therefore, Hongli, the grandson of the emperor who was about to study and live with Kangxi, was likely to attract other people's attention even though he was only ten years old.

Even though people like the Eighth and Fourteenth Brothers could not expect Hongli to bring them any help, they also hoped to get to know Hongli better and make their relationship temporarily closer.

This is better than completely despising the emperor's grandson who is about to accompany him.

"I understand. Let them wait in the south room first."

But Hongli did not immediately agree or refuse.

He needs to ask Yongzheng for instructions first.

He had no intention of following Hongshi's example. As long as the eighth and fourteenth brothers showed their goodwill, he would run to them without caring about his own father's feelings, and even take the initiative to please them.

After all, he knew very well that Yongzheng was the ultimate winner in the fight for the throne.

And he is Yongzheng's biological son. If he stands in line now, it will definitely bring him good rewards in the future.

"Whoo!"

Hongshi looked at Hongli in surprise.

He didn't expect Hongli to be so indifferent and not show any joy at the invitation from his eighth uncle and the gift from his fourteenth uncle.

Hong Zhou was also very surprised, and at the same time he seemed to understand the meaning of Hong Li's words just now.

Pan Shiquan nodded with satisfaction.

Hongli then came to Yongzheng.

Yongzheng is still in his study.

But this time, there was no sound of barking dogs in Yongzheng's study. The dogs in the fence only wagged their tails at Hongli when he appeared.

Hongli threw over a piece of braised bone he had brought back from his home.

Wang Wang!

The dogs began to bark and fight with each other.

Yongzheng appeared outside the door at this time.

A spotted dog also jumped out, ran to the fence, and barked.

"return!"

Yongzheng called out.

But the spotted dog didn't listen.

Yongzheng had no choice but to ask Hongli to stand up first, and then asked Hongli: "What's the matter?"

"My eighth uncle sent someone to invite my son to come over and play. I'm here to ask Father for his instructions."

"Also, Uncle Fourteen gave his son a pony. Please give your opinion on it, Father."

Hongli replied.

Yongzheng was very happy that Hongli took the initiative to ask for his advice, so he said "hmm" in a gentle tone.

Then, Yongzheng walked around the fence with his hands behind his back.

after awhile.

"They are all your uncles. If they ask you to go out and play, you have to go. If they give you gifts, you have to accept them."

"When you go there, you must be respectful, know how to say thank you, and respect the people in their house, and say things they like to hear."

"Don't embarrass your Ama Ene!"

Yongzheng then gave Hongli earnest instructions.

Hongli showed a reluctant look and said, "Son, I'll remember this."

"Also, if your uncles have any instructions from now on, you don't have to ask me and your mother first. Just let me know afterward."

Yongzheng added another sentence at this time.

"Go!"

Then Yongzheng waved his hand.

"Then my son, please leave!"

Hongli left Yongzheng.

……

Hongli then came to the Eighth Prince's Mansion.

"My nephew pays his respects to my eighth uncle, ninth uncle, tenth uncle, and fourteenth uncle!" When Hongli arrived at the Eighth Prince's Mansion, he saw the Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, and Fourteenth Uncles were all there, so he bowed first.

Lao Ba hurriedly helped Hongli up and said kindly, "Hurry up, you and I are family, why be so polite!"

"Thank you, Uncle Eight!"

Hongli also replied with a smile.

Eighth Uncle Yinsi continued to smile at Hongli and said, "Eighth Uncle called you here today not for any other reason, but because I learned that your brother Hongwang celebrated his birthday the day before yesterday and he didn't invite you to come. Eighth Uncle has already scolded your brother Hongwang, so Eighth Uncle sent someone to call you here and also to talk to you by the way, so that you won't think that I, your eighth uncle, only care about Hongshi and don't care about you, my nephew."

"I will always be grateful for the love that my eighth uncle and all the other uncles have shown me, and I won't take it too seriously."

Hongli replied with a smile.

Yinsi smiled and said, "What a sensible and humble child! Your math and science skills can impress your Khan, which shows that you are very hardworking and talented. You are worthy of being a descendant of my Aisin-Gioro family!"

"Eighth Uncle called you here today to speak with you because you will be accompanying the Emperor in the palace, and I have given you some special instructions. It's inevitable that you'll feel worse at home after entering the palace, but don't be afraid. Don't make a fuss about going home and angering Khan Mafa. Eighth Uncle has already made arrangements, so you can rest assured in the palace and learn your skills well in your Khan Mafa, so that you can make some contributions to the country of the Qing Dynasty in the future!"

"That's right, your eighth uncle is in charge of the Imperial Household Department now. If any servant dares to neglect you, just tell your eighth uncle and the Imperial Household Department will make him pay!"

Lao Shi also spoke at this time.

Hongli hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Eighth Uncle and Tenth Uncle, for your concern. With your support, I am not afraid of going anywhere!"

"sensible!"

Seeing Hongli being so respectful, the ninth prince Yinzhen also smiled and said something to the fourteenth prince, then he took out a stack of tickets from his sleeve and stuffed it into Hongli's pocket:

"Hongli, Uncle Jiu has always been busy, so he doesn't pay much attention to you. But Uncle Jiu loves you in his heart!"

"This palace is not like a royal residence. Sometimes you need to reward your servants so they will serve you wholeheartedly. Besides, you will definitely need people to go out and buy some toys that you may need at the last minute. So, take these tickets."

"If it's not enough, come and ask Uncle Jiu for more. Don't be polite to him!"

Hongli knew that Laojiu was the God of Wealth of the Eighth Master’s party.

Because he could speak foreign languages ​​and was close to foreigners, he was the umbrella for maritime smugglers and traders in the court. Naturally, he had no shortage of money, and provided sufficient financial support for the Eighth Prince's party to control the bureaucrats all over the world.

Hongli hurriedly stood up and bowed to express his gratitude: "I, your nephew, would like to thank you from here, Uncle Jiu!"

"You and I are uncle and nephew, why should we be polite?"

Lao Jiu smiled and waved his hand, letting Hongli sit down.

Old Fourteen also smiled at Hongli and asked, "Hongli, do you like the good little horse that Uncle Fourteen gave you?"

"My nephew likes it very much and is just about to thank Fourteenth Uncle in person."

In fact, Hongli didn't even look at it carefully. After receiving the little horse, he asked the servants in the mansion to take it to the stable.

After all, although Yongzheng allowed him to come to the Eighth Brother and asked him to obey these people, he couldn't really show how happy he was, so as to stir up waves in Yongzheng's sensitive heart again.

Therefore, Hongli did not show much joy when he received the little colt.

As Hongli said this, the Fourteenth Elder nodded and continued, "I wanted to teach you horsemanship myself, but I have to leave for the northwest tomorrow, so I can only wait until later. Just remember, even though your father and I have some disagreements, I still recognize him as my brother, and I also recognize you as my nephew. I treat you like my own son. When your Fourteenth Elder returns from the war in the northwest, I will give you something even better."

"I am flattered by Uncle Fourteen's love!"

Hongli bowed hurriedly and replied.

Old Fourteen smiled and said, "Why are you saying this?"

Then, the Fourteenth Prince looked at the Eighth Prince Yinsi and said, "Eighth Brother, let's go watch the equestrian show."

"it is good!"

"Hongli, your fourteenth uncle brought back a team of cavalrymen with superb riding skills. He is planning to have them perform at the mansion today. You should go and see it too. As a descendant of the Aisin-Gioro family, you must not forget horseback riding and archery. You should see how powerful our most powerful warriors in Manchuria are on horseback!"

At this time, Lao Ba stood up and said to Hongli with a smile.

Hongli responded with a smile and went with them to the inner horse farm of the Eighth Prince's Mansion.

After watching an equestrian show with the Eighth, Ninth and Fourteenth Brothers, Hongli was invited by the three to stay for a meal, and then returned home.

As soon as Hongli returned home, he went to see Yongzheng.

But when Hongli came to Yongzheng, the first person he met was Hongshi.

Hongshi's eyes were somewhat unfriendly, but he still managed a smile and said, "I didn't expect Uncle Eight to keep you for so long."

"Uncle Eight and the others insisted on keeping me to watch the equestrian show, so I was delayed a little longer."

After answering with a smile, Hongli walked towards the place where Yongzheng kept dogs, because the dogs were already wagging their tails at him.

Perhaps because Yongzheng was walking his dogs in the small garden, the gate of the dog pen was not closed this time, so the dogs ran out and surrounded Hongli, wagging their tails and raising their legs.

At this time, Hongshi asked Hongli: "Uncle Jiu must have given you some money, right? Can you lend me some?"

"Why, you're reluctant to lend me some money?"

When Hongshi saw that Hongli did not respond, he asked Hongli in a cold tone.

Hongli did not respond because he was teasing the dogs and quietly waved to Hongshi.

These dogs were already familiar with Hongli, and perhaps they had understood that if they wanted to get food from Hongli, they had to bite Hongshi.

Then, these dogs rushed towards Hongshi and opened their mouths to bite him.

"Ah! Why are you biting me!"

After Hongshi was bitten, he saw these dogs chasing him and trying to bite him, so he was so scared that he ran away.

Hongli couldn't help laughing when he saw this.

"Go away!"

"What are you doing!"

"Believe it or not, I will kill you in the future!"

Hongshi ran while cursing at the dogs chasing him.

Yongzheng appeared from the small garden behind the fence, holding a puppy in his arms. His face was as cold as ice. He shouted at Hongshi who was fleeing, "Evil beast, who are you going to kill?!"
