Chapter 1,708 Repeatedly(1/2)
After listening to the prince's words, the fourth elder brother also felt sentimental and said: "It is difficult to raise a child, and my younger brother also gave birth to a second son, so he will be called Ama..."
Neither of them mentioned Brother Fourteen again.
The prince has been very depressed these past few years.
However, he was trapped in the palace, watching the brothers who were granted titles and opened mansions becoming more and more famous.
Seeing that the fourth elder brother had no objection, the prince had the idea of confiding.
However, he knew that there were some things that he couldn't put into words, so he could only talk about them in private.
"The Crown Princess is cold and arrogant, with a good reputation, but lacks some caring; the princess in the backyard is shallow and has no knowledge; Hong Xi left the study and doesn't know what to do in the future; Hong Jin is dull, dull and lacks aura..."
The fourth elder brother listened, but it was difficult to follow and comment, so he could only remain silent.
The prince was talking and wanted to drink, so he ordered the young eunuch: "Ask the dining room to bring a table to you. I want to have wine with Sibeile."
The little eunuch responded.
Fourth Brother endured it and did not change his expression.
The prince looked at him and said: "Now that we have caught up, my fourth brother will accompany me to have a few cups..."
The fourth elder brother could only express concern and said: "It's already this hour and drinking at night is harmful to people. Second brother should eat less."
The prince lamented: "If my fourth brother hadn't been here, I wouldn't have been able to find someone to drink with me even if I wanted to have a drink..."
The fourth elder brother said: "My brother is a light drinker, so I'm afraid I won't be able to have all the fun with you."
The prince thought of his childhood and said, "Haha" twice, "I've seen it since I was a child. When you were three years old, the fifth elder brother arrested Zhou and held a banquet in Cining Palace. If you stretched out your hand to reach the wine cup, I would use chopsticks.
I ordered to feed you, but you immediately turned red and turned into a shrimp, and fell into a deep sleep before the meal was gone..."
The prince is four years older than the fourth elder brother. When the fourth elder brother arrived, the prince had already remembered things.
At that time, the eldest brother and the third brother also took him back to the palace.
Compared with those two, the prince naturally preferred the more familiar Fourth Brother.
Brother Si's face turned red.
He really doesn't drink well.
When he was young, he had an impetuous temper. After being criticized by the emperor once, he began to learn to be restrained and forbearing.
Drinking can easily make you lose your temper.
He couldn't stand this, so when the other brothers started practicing their drinking habits after they were teenagers, the fourth brother only drank two or three glasses of wine every time.
As soon as the prince asked for a banquet, the entire dining room was in motion.
The stoves that had been sealed were all lit again.
It's just that the prince's side always wants big dishes, but big dishes take time.
When a few stewards come together, it's a bit confusing.
"It's all stir-fried, isn't it too shabby?"
The foreman paid homage to Tang Awen, the cook on duty.
No one dares to take the prince's orders lightly, otherwise he will be punished later and lose his job.
The cook looked at the ingredients on the other side of the stove, which were preparing breakfast for the emperor and the queen mother tomorrow morning.
Among them is a dish of venison in an earthen pot, which is ready to be cooked. The pot has not been opened yet. It will be convenient to heat it in the morning.
There are also soaked sea cucumbers in preparation for the sea cucumber porridge served by the Queen Mother tomorrow morning.
Even if the prince wants to have a table with the dishes prepared by the royal family, he cannot misappropriate them, otherwise it will be a sin.
The Queen Mother's side is fine.
Even if it is misappropriated, just start preparing it later.
These two dishes can be temporarily used as main dishes...
When the banquet was delivered, there were two main dishes, simmered venison and braised sea cucumber, as well as several quick dishes and several cold dishes, adding up to sixteen dishes, and a table was set.
Looking at this main dish, the prince was dissatisfied and said: "Eating this at night, it's weird..."
The fourth elder brother looked at it and glanced at the prince.
Although the prince only wanted a meal and did not order any dishes, the dishes prepared in the dining room were designated according to the prince's preferences.
Is what the prince usually eats too supplementary?
Thinking again about what the prince meant just now, he was also worried about the issue of heirs in Yuqing Palace.
When the wine came, the prince did not persuade him to drink, but drank several cups himself.
The fourth elder brother didn’t show off. He took the initiative to propose a glass of wine, and even touched his lips with the second glass.
As for the dishes on the table, he also avoided the two main dishes and only picked the fungus, goldenrod and other vegetarian dishes.
The prince saw this and his eyes fell on Brother Si's wrist.
On Si Age's wrist is a string of agarwood beads, which are the relics of Queen Xiaoyi.
Empress Xiaoyi believed in Buddhism during her lifetime, and Jingren Palace was the first to set up a small Buddhist hall in the six east and west palaces.
The prince looked at the fourth elder brother again. The fourth elder brother was wearing a sapphire blue plain satin uniform with no embroidery.
Is this person really pure-hearted?
Or just pretending?
The prince was not sure for a moment.
The fourth brother noticed the prince's inspection, but did not see it. Looking at the alfalfa, fungus, and fungus, he felt that the combination was not good. Stir-fried yam or lily with fungus looked better, with clear black and white.
And this day lily is stir-fried with cabbage leaves, not cabbage leaves, and the heat is a bit too...
In Brother Nine's tent.
Brother Jiu was soaking his feet and yawning, and said to He Yuzhu: "Remember this realm. When the Holy Master came back from Wengniute, he asked Chunlin to hunt here to see if he could catch a few deer and lambs.
, Fujin loves to eat roast venison.”
He Yuzhu heard this and said in confusion: "Sir, are you bringing it back from such a long distance? There are also red deer in the Nanyuan Paddock."
Brother Jiu said: "Khan Ama will be at the Nanyuan paddock in the twelfth lunar month. When his old man is not there, it is not easy for me to directly send people to the paddock to ask for things."
Under Shu Shu's repeated reminders, Brother Jiu clearly separated his own things from those belonging to the royal family.
If it's stained by the imperial treasure, you can't touch it yourself.
If someone touches the royal family, he can't even reach out to him without the emperor's instructions.
You can't take advantage of it, otherwise you'll suffer a big loss, so it's not cost-effective.
The master and servant were talking, and there was movement at the entrance of the tent.
It turned out that Li Gege was worried when he saw that his fourth elder brother was still not coming back, so he sent the young eunuch over.
Brother Jiu heard that something was wrong, so he took out his pocket watch and took a look.
It's the beginning of the year.
He doesn't trust his fourth brother anymore.
Why is the prince so angry?
Why haven't you let him go?
Brother Jiu took his feet out of the footbath and said to He Yuzhu: "Let's go over and have a look..."
He Yuzhu responded and hurriedly lit the horn lantern, then turned over the quilted cloak and tied it on Brother Jiu.
Brother Jiu saw it and said with disdain: "Where is this?"
He Yuzhu said: "Master, the wind is blowing..."
The key point is that I soaked my feet and my body was sweating.
Brother Jiu didn't say anything else and let him tie his cloak.
Before leaving the tent, Brother Jiu said to the little eunuch: "Okay, go back and tell your princess, don't worry, Sibeile has gone to the prince's place."
The little eunuch bowed in response and withdrew.
The master and servant came out, and it was Fu Qing and Chun Lin who were on duty outside the tent.
The two followed.
The master and his servants went to the prince's tent.
It was only a few steps away, and it was time to talk.
In the prince's tent, a jug of wine has been consumed.
The prince was a little drunk.
No matter how little the fourth brother drank, he still had three or four cups, which would make his face stained.
To be continued...
