The fourth elder brother was originally worried that the ninth elder brother would be picky, but when he saw that he was taking down his chopsticks honestly and said nothing else, he still explained.

"Autumn is inherently dry, and venison is easy to get angry."

This explains why no one asked anyone to kill a deer and roast its meat.

Brother Jiu said casually: "Well, well, let's go back and ask He Yuzhu to find a bag of almond tea for the fourth brother to prepare. That one will be defeated."

Fourth elder brother: "..."

At this moment, Aunt Bai has arrived.

When the two brothers heard that the Queen Mother had sent someone, they were both a little confused. They looked at each other and stood up.

"Greetings to my two brothers..."

Aunt Bai bowed respectfully.

The fourth elder brother waved his hand and said, "Mom, please come, but does the Imperial Grandmother have something to say?"

Aunt Bai pointed to the lunch box carried by the eunuch behind her, and replied with a smile: "Before eating just now, the empress thought of the two elder brothers. She was afraid that they would have no one to take care of them, so she pointed at them.

Here’s a dish, send your servant to bring it over.”

There are no female relatives here in the Ninth Age, and even a single Gege in the Fourth Brother cannot be considered a serious female family. Aunt Bai’s argument can be justified.

The fourth elder brother said matter-of-factly, "Thank you, Grandma Emperor, for the food."

Brother Jiu was a little puzzled and said: "It's not the festival yet, why does the Queen Mother think of us?"

He also wanted to ask whether it was given to them alone or to other princes as well.

If you give them all...

Is it because the special dishes don’t suit your taste?

The human heart is full of flesh and blood, and in Brother Jiu's heart, the Queen Mother, the royal grandmother, has been a very close elder to her in recent years.

Naturally, Aunt Bai didn't want to mention the gossip about the two brothers, so she smiled and said, "While the empress was eating the side dishes, she was thinking about the Nine Fortunes."

After hearing this, Brother Jiu immediately believed him and said with a smile like Yourong: "Haha, it turns out I miss my grandson's daughter-in-law. The side dishes of our house are really nothing to say..."

Brother Si blinked his eyes and guessed the possible reason.

Is this someone going to chew their tongue in front of the Queen Mother?

He felt sulky in his heart.

The atmosphere in the palace has always been like this. I wish everyone could watch and listen in all directions and bring all kinds of news to please the master.

Brother Ninth is generous and has always been familiar with Aunt Bai.

Throughout the year, Aunt Bai would go to Baylor House two or three times on behalf of the Queen Mother.

Seeing that Aunt Bai was about to leave after delivering the dishes, he told He Yuzhu, "Thank you for your hard work, I will send you off to you on my behalf."

He Yuzhu agreed, sent Nanny Bai out, and stuffed a light purse.

Aunt Bai knew that Brother Jiu and his wife had a lot of money, so she accepted it directly.

When she returned to the Queen Mother's tent, the Queen Mother had just put down the bowl.

Although Prince Wengniute paid tribute to a deer and lamb, he did not slaughter it today.

There were still regular dishes and side dishes on the Queen Mother's dining table.

She put down her chopsticks after eating half the bowl.

Seeing Aunt Bai coming back, the Queen Mother asked with concern: "How are the two brothers? The same goes for the fourth elder brother. As an elder brother, he doesn't know how to let his younger brother..."

Aunt Bai smiled and said: "Fourth Master is in Jiuye's tent. When the servant passed by, the dining table was also set, and the two brothers couldn't tell that they had quarreled..."

At this point, she paused and said: "My servant also asked specifically that Fourth Master is worried about Master Jiu's food these days. He eats two meals a day in Master Jiu's tent. Look at this situation today.

This meal is no exception."

The Queen Mother listened and nodded and said: "This is how the fourth elder brother behaves as an elder brother. The ninth elder brother does not hold grudges. This is how brothers should be."

Although he lives in the harem, Ningshou Palace has people in charge, chief eunuchs, and various female servants, so the news is not blocked.

The Queen Mother knows that the momentum has not been good in recent years.

As the princes become knights and serve as errands, the good and bad things between the brothers are also revealed.

For example, the relationship between the prince and his eldest brother is not on good terms, as everyone knows...

The prince doesn't want to see his third elder brother...

The ninth elder brother and the eighth elder brother fell out...

The prince doesn't want to see his fourteenth brother...

The fifth elder brother and the eighth elder brother fell out...

The third elder brother and the eighth elder brother are at odds...

The thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother have an estranged relationship...

There are no secrets in the palace, and the minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is a royal servant, so naturally everyone can see it clearly.

With her status as Queen Mother, she does not even interfere with the affairs of her sons, let alone her grandchildren.

However, she could see clearly that the relationships between these princes had become complicated, whether they were good or bad, all had something to do with power. Only the fifth elder brother and the ninth elder brother were two silly children who had true temperaments and were not involved in the struggle for power.

The Queen Mother couldn't openly start a fight, she still had a bias in her heart.

Now that the dispute has been resolved, the Queen Mother has let the matter go...

News that can reach the Queen Mother will naturally reach others.

In Brother Nine's tent.

The ninth elder brother and the fourth elder brother had already eaten half of their food.

Influenced by Shu Shu, Brother Jiu prefers the taste of cumin.

Today's mutton is lamb again, cut thinly and tender to eat.

Brother Jiu ate several chopsticks.

The fourth elder brother saw this in his eyes and felt a little lucky.

Fortunately, the Queen Mother rewarded the dishes, otherwise the vegetarian dishes on this table would probably have been cooked with tea and rice.

Brother Jiu is not that picky. In addition to the cumin mutton, a dish of bean sprouts vermicelli rolled in tofu skin and eight-treasure spinach, he also ate a few bites.

When he was almost done eating, he found that Brother Si had eaten half the plate of sesame seeds and eggs, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"It's so sweet, don't you think it's too scary?"

The fourth elder brother rolled his eyes at him and said: "The imperial grandmother rewarded..."

Brother Jiu couldn't say anything, but he couldn't help complaining in his heart.

I still like sweet food, otherwise people who are not used to it will not use their chopsticks so frequently.

Don't worry about breaking your teeth.

By the time Fourth Brother finished eating, there was nothing left on the plate of sesame seeds and eggs.

The fourth elder brother also felt his mouth was full of nausea, so he asked Su Peisheng to pour strong tea to relieve the nausea.

Here, He Yuzhu led people to clear the dining table, and the eldest brother and the thirteenth brother came over.

It turned out that the two brothers also got the news of the "quarrel" between the fourth elder brother and the ninth elder brother.

The two hurried over and saw that the fourth elder brother and the ninth elder brother were still looking as usual.

The brothers were eating, but when they saw them coming, they were also a little puzzled.

The eldest brother looked at the two of them and said bluntly: "What's going on? If everything is fine, why are you saying you were quarreling outside?"

Brother Thirteen said nothing, feeling a little uneasy.

The timing of the quarrel was too coincidental, just after Prince Ongniute gave the lamb as a gift.

On the way here just now, Brother Thirteen had already reflected on his thoughts.

He knew he was wrong.

It was not very appropriate for Prince Wengniute to allocate deer and lambs like this. He himself knew this and was ashamed and uneasy.

I shouldn't have spoken for Prince Ongniute.

Prince Wengniute's distribution method divided several adult princes into three grades. The prince and the eldest brother were in the first grade, the fourth and ninth princes were in the first grade, and he was in the first grade.

Such a distribution did not offend the eldest brother and showed that he was close to him, but it was considered rude to the fourth and ninth brothers.

Also, there are more than five princes in this camp, and the little prince is also a prince.

If Prince Ongniute wanted to think carefully, he should have thought of everything.

It's just that he is only fourteen, a half-grown child, and without the guidance of his father and brother, he still behaves in a petty manner.

The fourth elder brother frowned, glanced at the ninth elder brother, and then said: "There was no quarrel, it was just that I annoyed the ninth elder brother by saying a few words about my errands."
