The next day, Brother Nine not only went to Prince Gong's Mansion, but also to Dutong Mansion.

What was copied in Prince Gong’s Mansion was the list of clans of Zhenglan Banner, and what was copied in Dutong Mansion was the list of clans of Zhenghong Banner.

Although the Zhenghong Banner clan is descended from Prince Lilie, it has been passed down to the sixth generation. In addition to Prince Kang's Palace and Shuncheng County Prince's Palace, there are also several Duke's and General's Palaces on the side of the two palaces.

As for Zheng Hongqi, he would give it directly to the tenth prince.

It was because of myself that I thought of my tenth elder brother.

Shi Fujin was someone who didn't worry about anything. Brother Jiu was afraid that Brother Ten would be negligent, so he just worried about things ahead.

The tenth elder brother was born high, and his first title was also high. The more so, the more cautious one should be to avoid being singled out for mistakes.

Besides, the tenth prince is holding the red flag by himself. He is weak and weak, so the most important thing is to be harmonious.

Otherwise, if you offend one family, you will offend the entire family.

The tenth elder brother was speechless after receiving the clan list.

My Ninth Brother is the most impatient of such favors, but now he is so considerate.

Brother Jiu looked at him and said: "There will be a long time to come. There is no need to offend them for no reason. We have to live up to our reputation. We can't always be princes..."

For the last sentence, he lowered his voice.

When they are no longer princes and become ordinary clans, they will not be able to compare with these old royal families.

The number of subordinates held by these founding kings is several times that of theirs, their families are also rich, and they are not vulnerable to attack.

They are confident as princes, but when it comes to the generation of their children and grandchildren, they may not have the weight.

Just looking at the elder brothers in Prince Yu's Mansion and Prince Gong's Mansion, one knows that in front of Prince Gong, the emperor's nephew is nothing at all.

Even Prince Yu and Prince Gong, if we really want to talk about it, they should stay behind against Prince Gong.

In private, he is called uncle, but when it comes to the imperial court, the ranking is fixed.

Brother Ten nodded and said, "Brother Ninth, don't worry, I will send out the posts properly."

With the list in hand, invitations from the two mansions were prepared, and guards were arranged to be sent to each mansion.

No matter which family's post it was from, it didn't leave the Babel Mansion.

You must know that Ba Age's appearance during the Longevity Festival also means to announce that he has recovered from his illness.

In this case, if you don't send a post to Ba Beile Mansion, it would seem like you are looking down on Ba Age.

As for the past post, whether the Eighth Prince comes forward or not, that is the Eighth Prince's business...

Babel Mansion, study room.

The eighth prince looked at the three posts in front of him, two county prince's mansions and one Baylor's mansion.

The county prince's palace...

It was no surprise that the tenth prince was granted the title of Duke. The rules of the mansion and the arrangement of the guards were originally based on those of the Duke.

The prince of the third elder brother...

The eighth prince was born with injustice.

What kind of credit is it to be admitted to the South Study Room?!

It's just that the emperor's father is partial.

A concubine of honor will not be granted a palace title unless she commits a serious crime, but she will only be demoted to a concubine, and the provision will still be provided by the concubine position.

There are also Princess Rongxian and the third elder brother, who were also favored among the princesses and princes since childhood.

He looked up at Mr. Fucha who was sitting across from him and said, "Are you ready for the congratulations?"

Mrs. Fucha nodded and said, "It's ready. All three families have two hundred taels of silver."

The book of favors at the eighth prince's office is all managed by the eighth prince himself.

He shook his head and said: "It's missing. It's for outsiders. Let's add two more ornaments from the two county and prince's houses!"

Mrs. Fucha nodded and wrote it down.

She actually wanted to ask whether the eighth prince would go to the banquet or not.

But seeing that the eighth prince didn't mention this, he knew better.

This one is going to go.

When he returned to Dongkuaoyuan, Mrs. Fucha touched his forehead.

Ba Beile's Mansion turned out to be in trouble, and Ba'age was confused.

She, Xi Fujin, had to go out and socialize...

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed by in a hurry, and it was March 26th, the day when Chengjun Prince’s Palace hosted a banquet.

Shu Shu and Brother Jiu arrived early, but they were shocked when they got off the bus.

How many guests have you invited?

I haven't seen such excitement in a long time.

On the road in front of Chengjun Prince's Mansion, cars and horses lined up at the street entrance.

Shu Shu was a little unsure, so she asked Brother Jiu in a low voice: "Are our posts short of distribution?"

Brother Jiu hesitated and said: "Maybe there are more clans in Xianglan Banner?"

They came with the 10th prince and his wife.

At this moment, the eleventh prince and his wife also got off the carriage.

Shu Shu saw the side branch of Prince Shuncheng's Mansion and said to Brother Jiu: "This is located on the boundary of Zhenghong Banner. The princes of Zhenghong Banner should also be invited..."

The chief minister of the third elder brother's house was waiting at the door to greet the guests. When he saw the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, and then called for his grandmother to lead Shu Shu and Shi Fujin in.

The ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother looked at the gate of the county prince's palace.

You know, the number of doornails on the door of this county prince's mansion is different from that of Baylor's mansion.

In a few days, the door has been replaced and the number of door nails has been replaced.

The two brothers followed Chang Shi into the living room.

There are already many people sitting in the living room.

There are the eldest elder brother, Prince Kang, Prince Shuncheng and others who live nearby, as well as the twelfth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother who live in the palace.

The ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother met everyone and sat down to talk.

There were also a few unfamiliar princes and generals.

Seeing this, the ninth elder brother asked the tenth elder brother in a low voice: "Are those clans with blue flags or those with red flags?"

The tenth elder brother took a few glances and saw that those people spent more time talking to the elder brother and less time to Prince Kang and Prince Shuncheng. He said: "They should be the ones with blue flags. Look at those two

The prince is not very familiar..."

The clan with the blue flag is also relatively simple. Except for the eldest elder brother and the third elder brother, the others are all descendants of Taizu's younger brother Shuerhaqi. There are always more than ten branches passed down, except for Prince Jian and Prince Jian.

In addition to Prince Shuo, there are also several palaces for the Duke and the General.

Brother Jiu looked away.

No wonder the emperor's father wanted to restrict the clan titles.

It's really possible.

I didn't have any favors before, so I didn't know that there were so many princes' and generals' mansions outside. Now that I had a favor, I discovered that under the same banner, there were dozens of princes and generals, big and small.

Even if there are fewer Three Banners, there are still hundreds if the Eight Banners are included.

If there were no restrictions, the salary expenditure would have to be doubled several times.

Even the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother, two princes who had lived outside the palace for several years, looked down upon these clan members, not to mention the twelfth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother who lived in the palace.

The thirteenth elder brother brought the twelfth elder brother over and sat next to the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother. He asked curiously: "Ninth elder brother, where is the fourth elder brother?"

Brother Ninth said: "Fourth brother went to the household department this morning. He should have come from the Yamen. It seems that the fourth sister-in-law and the fifth sister-in-law have made an appointment to come together."

Brother Thirteen whispered: "Is it too rude to just let Qian sit down?"

This is the disadvantage of having too many guests.

The third elder brother was overwhelmed, and there were no other important guests in the county prince's palace.

They were brothers and did not choose this courtesy, but many of them felt uncomfortable looking at the guests below.

Brother Jiu also felt a little awkward and said: "It's not quite right. We should arrange the theater troupe. Everyone can watch the theater and have tea, so it won't be so awkward..."

Just as he was talking, the third elder brother came over with a bit of urgency, and his forehead was sweaty. Looking at it like this, he was also anxious.

Treating guests with great fanfare is not good hospitality and will make people laugh later.
