When they arrived at the Holy Palace, Brother Jiu followed his brothers and stood behind them to congratulate them.

Not only does he have a place with the tenth prince, but all the way up to the fifteenth prince.

This year there are sixteen more brothers.

The sixteenth elder brother is the younger brother of the fifteenth elder brother. He was born in the 34th year of Kangxi's reign and is six years old this year.

In a few days, I will go to the study room to study.

Now he is wearing a small dragon coat and a small mink hat, which looks quite strange.

Unlike the shy and honest 15th elder brother before, the 16th elder brother is much more lively and a kid who loves to laugh.

She has a chubby little face with dimples, which makes her look like a chubby girl.

No matter which brother looked at him, he would always call them with a smile and not flinch at all. He was very courageous.

This is the youngest brother, who is about the same age as the emperor's grandchildren.

We all act like brothers and are very friendly.

Seeing this, Brother Ninth felt a little itchy. He pinched Brother Sixteen's little face and said, "It's quite tough..."

Brother Sixteen smiled and said: "Not as good as Brother Ninth..."

Brother Jiu laughed and said, "There's no need to compare this with me!"

The fourteenth elder brother raised his head and said with a smile: "My younger brother has heard this too, but I just said that my younger brother is more naughty than my ninth brother..."

Brother Sixteen tilted his little head and said: "The Queen said, Brother Fourteen is first, Brother Ninth is second, and I am third!"

Brother Fourteen said proudly: "No one can try to compete with me for first place!"

Brother Jiu glanced at him and felt it was an eyesore.

Although there is nothing to argue about, I don't want to be ranked behind the Fourteenth Prince.

When the Hall of Supreme Harmony comes out, everyone will disperse.

The eldest brother turned his head and motioned for his younger brothers to follow him.

Everyone stopped gossiping and followed the elder brother honestly.

The eldest brother and his younger brothers first paid New Year greetings to Prince Yu and Prince Gong, and then went to pay homage to Prince Zhuang.

Brother Jiu followed the crowd and raised his eyebrows, feeling good, there was no need to run to Prince Zhuang's Mansion anymore.

Also saved red envelopes.

At this moment, Wei Zhu came over and said: "Master Jiu, the emperor's biography is here..."

The scene immediately fell silent.

Brother Ninth was also a little confused.

Even if it is to be passed on, shouldn't it be passed on to Prince Jian and Lao Shi?

Is the Anjun Prince's lawsuit related to the Ministry of Internal Affairs?

Seeing that he was not moving, the eldest brother urged: "What are you doing standing there stupidly? Go quickly!"

The third elder brother gloated and said, "Ninth brother, you haven't caused any trouble in the past two days, have you?"

Brother Jiu came to his senses, raised his chin, and said: "My brother is filial and sensible. Wherever he gets into trouble, he must be rewarded for his merit..."

He said proudly, but without any delay, he followed Wei Zhu to Qianqing Palace.

The fifth elder brother frowned and thought for a while, then asked the fourth elder brother: "What achievements has Lao Jiu made? Why haven't I heard of it?"

The fourth elder brother couldn't guess it either, so he said, "Maybe it's because of others."

The eighth elder brother looked worried on his face and looked at the tenth elder brother: "Tenth brother, you and the ninth brother are often together. Do you know why?"

Everyone looked at the tenth elder brother.

Brother 10 said without hesitation: "Brother Ninth said reward for merit, so that's merit. Throughout last year, Brother Ninth was not idle."

Everyone felt this was dishonest.

Who is idle?

But if the tenth prince doesn't say anything, there is nothing he can do.

The tenth elder brother looked at the seventh elder brother.

The seventh elder brother and the tenth elder brother looked at each other and looked into the distance without changing their expressions.

Brother Fourteen coughed lightly and said, "I know the reason!"

Everyone looked at him.

The fourteenth elder brother said: "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. According to last year's rules, the day after tomorrow Khan Ama will go to the garden with the emperor's grandmother. This is the first one; on the sixth and seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the sixteenth brother and the emperor's grandson will

My brother is about to enter the study room, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will keep an eye on the companions when they enter the garden. This is the second incident..."

Once everyone thought that this was really the case, they dropped the matter.

*

Qianqing Palace, Xinuang Pavilion.

Kangxi called the ninth elder brother over, and it was exactly what the fourteenth elder brother said.

First, I want to ask about the emperor’s visit to the garden, and then about the sixteenth prince’s admission to school and his new companion’s admission into the palace.

There was an example last year, Brother Jiu had already ordered people to prepare it.

Kangxi added: "He Yi was greedy and lawless, and took over the position of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Is it necessary for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to replace the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

Brother Jiu was surprised.

Why is He Yi so greedy and lawless?

Never heard of it before...

If that's the case, wouldn't he, as the master of palm seals, also make an oversight?

Although he didn't want to see He Yi, he had been working with He Yi for a year and generally understood that He Yi acted cautiously and without being too troublesome.

The fact that he had people watching his whereabouts in September was probably not his own initiative.

Brother Jiu asked: "Khan Ama, is there anyone criticizing you? Is there any evidence? Why doesn't my son know about this..."

He was really worried about someone taking advantage of the situation.

Because he hasn't treated He Yi well in the past few months, many people have been gossiping about He Yi in his ears.

He didn't want to be the one taking the blame.

Kangxi glanced at Brother Jiu and said: "There is no evidence, why should I raise this matter?"

Brother Jiu sneered and said: "You are right..."

As for whether to replace the head of housekeeping?

Of course you have to make up for it!

In addition to He Yi, there were two other directors of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, one was Haryatu, the censor of Zuodu, and the other was Ma Qi, a great scholar.

Both of them were busy with errands and had no time to take care of the general affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

But a foreigner like He Yi is not of the same mind. Having learned from past mistakes, Ninth Prince doesn’t want him anymore.

He thought of the twelfth brother he had just seen in the team of brothers, silent and always being ignored.

He said: "Khan Ama, the twelfth elder brother has become a man. Why don't we let the twelfth elder brother come to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to learn how to work?"

You have to practice and practice, and it would be better to go to Liubu for a walk.

Don't worry about being so bad-tempered now, as you might be bullied by others.

Kangxi glanced at Brother Jiu.

He didn't believe that Brother Jiu didn't understand what he meant.

What he wanted to ask was whether the Ministry of Internal Affairs wanted to hire someone to take charge of Yuqing Palace.

Even if the twelfth elder brother joins the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he will only be walking around to learn errands, and he will not be able to do his job on his own.

Brother Jiu planned to take care of Yuqing Palace's affairs.

There is no need to arrange special manpower.

Otherwise, if you get used to Yuqing Palace, you will really think that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is their Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Brother Jiu didn't hide anything, and told his plan, saying: "The princess's character and behavior are all respected by her son Fujin. The prince was taught by Khan Ama step by step, and the son Xiao's father can't do anything wrong. However, the servants of Yuqing Palace behaved a bit arrogantly, and they had often made things difficult for He Yi before. His son thought that it would be better for the Ministry of Internal Affairs not to create two stalls. Everything should be done according to the rules. With his son watching, there shouldn't be any servants who get sick. You must break the rules and treat Yuqing Palace's supplies harshly..."

After Kangxi heard this, he frowned and pondered for a moment, then nodded.

That's fine too.

Brother Ninth specially arranged for such a person before because of the special circumstances last year.

Suo'etu was asked to investigate, and some of them were implicated in Yuqing Palace.
