Chapter 1963: Zhongxiao (asking for a guaranteed monthly ticket)(1/2)
Chapter 1964 Zhongxiao (asking for a guaranteed monthly ticket)
Disrupted by the prince's longevity gift, the third elder brother's resentment towards the ninth elder brother was gone.
He also understood that the brothers had selfish motives for increasing the birthday gift list.
On the contrary, here is the ninth elder brother. The elder brother is still young, and it will be more than ten years before Gege is divorced. It is just a waste of money.
This idiot is still very proud, but he doesn’t expect that he has prepared so much for his fiftieth birthday. How can he use it for his sixtieth birthday?
Between fifty and sixty, there is still another fifty-five, which is not an ordinary birthday.
In the fiftieth year of Kangxi's reign, the emperor's father, Yuji, would celebrate his fiftieth anniversary...
This series of birthday gifts are all big pitfalls...
The third elder brother is just waiting to see the ninth elder brother’s jokes.
With your hands so loose, you've almost spent all your money, so it's time to eat what you have earned...
The group of people left the Qianqing Gate and dispersed.
The ninth elder brother is joining the fourth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother, and the brothers have to go to Prince Gong's mansion to pay their respects.
After leaving Xihua Gate, the carriage from Jiubele Mansion was already waiting.
The guards of Sibeile Mansion were also waiting with Si Agege's horse.
The Guards Department has also arranged a number of guards to accompany Thirteenth Elder Brother.
The fourth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother's carriage and couldn't help but said to the ninth elder brother: "Nowadays, if you are neither cold nor hot, you can't ride a horse for two days?"
Brother Jiu shook his head hurriedly and said: "I can't ride. I've been blowing sand all day in these three months, and my eyesight is blinded by riding a horse..."
As he said that, he was afraid that the fourth elder brother would still be nagging, so he quickly got into the carriage.
The fourth elder brother looked lucky.
The Thirteenth Brother said from the side: "I don't blame the Ninth Brother, there is indeed a lot of dust in the spring, and I don't dare to open my mouth too much, otherwise my mouth will be rude."
Brother Si didn't say anything else and got on his horse.
The thirteenth brother also got on the horse and whispered: "Third brother is very angry today. Looking at it like this, I blame the ninth brother three parts and the elder brother seven parts."
It's quite surprising.
The third child usually seems timid, but this time he did not bully others.
The fourth elder brother was thoughtful after hearing this and did not answer the question.
He was still thinking about the final Yuqing Palace birthday gift, which was all tribute from the governor. What was the prince thinking?
The warehouse of Yuqing Palace is never short of good things.
Not to mention dozens of birthday gifts, you can even put together hundreds of birthday gifts.
But the prince didn't join in.
There are also the number of items chosen by the prince, eighteen, which is twice as many as the prince.
This isn't eye-catching.
The prince is the crown prince, and he should be more noble than the princes.
However, the six "Prince's eldest son" gifts far exceed the number of birthday gifts for the eldest son of each prince's house...
Seeing that the fourth elder brother was silent, the thirteenth elder brother didn't say anything else.
The wind in March is blowing the sand, and it's more comfortable to close your mouth than to open it.
But the Thirteenth Brother was thinking about the birthday gift list for his brothers, and thought about the ones from Wubeile Mansion, Qibele Mansion and Yuqing Palace.
In the birthday gift list of Wubeile Mansion, there is a concubine's eldest son, but there is no legitimate son.
The birthday gift list of Qibele Mansion includes the eldest son of a concubine and two direct descendants who are out of line.
Over at Yuqing Palace, although the prince had written three letters, the two elder brothers were both concubines and could not be promoted.
These elder brothers are all eldest sons, and now they are like a joke.
It is well known that the prince does not like the princess.
Although the fifth elder brother and the seventh elder brother did not spoil their concubines and destroy their wives, they were not considered a harmonious couple.
Brother Thirteen thought of the bright and generous Zhaojia family.
My family, Fujin, has no choice in terms of conduct and character, so I naturally hope that my husband and wife will be harmonious, and not let myself become a joke in the eyes of others.
In the carriage, Brother Jiu was still thinking about the two pieces of velvet material presented to him as a birthday present for the prince.
The material is thin velvet, which is different from the cashmere worn in spring and autumn. It is a material that can be worn on the body in early summer and early autumn.
I seem to like this material very much in Fujian. For this year’s Dragon Boat Festival, I will send someone in advance to inquire about the tribute from Fujian.
The three brothers arrived at the gate of Prince Gong's residence in a mighty manner.
At the entrance of Prince Gong's residence, several princes from the palace were already waiting.
The second elder brother, Manduhu, had an errand and was working as an errand in the clan mansion. The remaining third elder brother, fourth elder brother, and fifth elder brother did not send any errands, but just followed the flag.
Brother Jiu is not familiar with this place.
Manduhu was still the son-in-law of the Dong E family because Prince Gong was out and about during peacetime. The ninth elder brother was relatively familiar with him, but the remaining cousins had no contact at all.
As a result, when he paid attention today, he discovered something was wrong.
Is this title too low?
The fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother are just equal to each other. They are the third-class generals of the auxiliary country. This is also in line with the rules. According to the rules changed in previous years, Prince Heshuo's concubines, concubines, and sons living in other houses are awarded the title of third-class generals of the auxiliary country.
They have the same mother and are the sons of Prince Gong and his concubine Fu Jin.
What happened to the third elder brother Haesan?
Only one general, Feng En, was granted the title!
This is the lowest level in the clan.
This is the emperor's nephew, which is actually the lowest royal title.
Is this because my grades in the exam were too poor and I dropped several grades?!
Khan Amma showed no kindness to Prince Gong’s palace at all.
The four elder brothers in Prince Gong's palace have all been adults for many years, but only one of the youngest sons has not yet matured.
However, the younger son had a flaw in his background and was the grandson of Wu Yingxiong, so it was impossible for him to be established as the heir apparent.
Then why hasn’t the palace invited the crown prince?
The brothers were welcomed to the main courtyard of the palace.
Prince Gong had already put on his clothes and was waiting in the corridor, holding a cane in his hand.
"I've met Uncle Wang, and I want to say hello to Uncle Wang..."
Seeing this, the fourth elder brother took a few steps quickly.
The ninth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother also followed.
Prince Gong said: "Everyone is well, brother..."
Fourth elder brother stepped forward and helped Prince Gong's arm, saying: "It's the nephews who are causing trouble. Uncle Wang, please go back to the room to talk."
Prince Gong nodded, glanced at the ninth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother, and said: "In a flash, these two elder brothers have become adults."
Brother Ninth moved his eyes away from Prince Gong's feet and said, "My nephew is already twenty-one years old. He has been on the job for five years. He should make some progress no matter what."
The thirteenth elder brother said: "I just look like an adult and run errands for my brothers."
The uncle and nephew entered the house, followed by several elder brothers from the palace.
The guests and hosts take their seats.
The fourth elder brother looked at Prince Gong's emaciated face and said with worry: "This loss is too great. Do I need to make up for it?"
Prince Yu was paralyzed and bedridden, and his diet was reduced, but he did not lose weight like this.
Prince Gong waved his hand and said: "I haven't eaten less. I used to eat three meals a day, but now I wish I had five meals a day. I won't lose my mouth."
Brother Jiu has seen a lot of medical skills in the past few years. Hearing this symptom, he seemed familiar with it, so he said: "What does the imperial doctor say? Uncle Wang, is this the 'Zhongxiao' in diabetes mellitus? Eat more, you will be hungry easily, and you will be thirsty."
Knot, sweating a lot?”
Prince Gong looked at Brother Ninth and said with surprise: "Brother, have you read a lot of medical books?"
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "My nephew is very frail, so he cherishes his life a lot. In the past few years, most of the books he has read are medical books."
Prince Gong said: "I am indeed suffering from diabetes. It affects my eyes and my feet, making it difficult to walk..."
This is why the outside world thought he had recovered, but he still stayed behind closed doors.
Brother Jiu was a little puzzled after hearing this.
The Queen Mother also suffers from diabetes mellitus, but the symptoms are mild. She has been much better after following dietary restrictions in the past few years.
