The fifth elder brother has a generous personality, but he is also the prince's elder brother. He is angry in his heart and is very rude to Prince Horqin.

"Brother Jiu doesn't want to see him anymore, so what other reason could there be for him? Didn't you bully him first? If you don't have an attack, it's already for the sake of the royal grandmother, so what else can you do?"

Prince Horqin was anxious.

It’s not just a matter of buying medicine.

But he really offended the ninth elder brother.

Behind him was a beloved concubine, and his half-mother, Lord Beile.

Some people started to complain to Princess Duanmin’s father-in-law, King Dalhan: “Go and apologize quickly, don’t implicate others... The princess’s palace is confident, but others still have to be embarrassed...”

King Darhan had no choice but to offend all his cousins, so he had no choice but to come forward in person and block the ninth elder brother outside the yamen.

He was also sad in his heart.

In just one month, Prince Ninth was no longer the bald prince ranked low in the rankings, but the acting general manager in charge of the royal house.

"Master Jiu..."

King Darhan did not put on the airs of his elders, and his attitude was more respectful than before.

Brother Jiu glanced at him and did not ignore him as King Darkhan expected. He responded lukewarmly: "Your Majesty..."

King Darhan smiled apologetically and said: "A few days ago, the dogs were drunk and rude, and they made light of Master Jiu. I'm coming over..."

Brother Jiu listened impatiently, looked him up and down, sneered, and turned away.

King Darkhan just felt baffled and he just said one sentence. Which word was wrong?

The confidant who was following him hurriedly reminded him in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you must have an attitude towards this apology. It's not good to talk in vain like this..."

King Darhan was puzzled: "Didn't I send you a gift a few days ago?"

Although there were not many gifts, they followed the trend and sent birthday gifts to Jiu Fujin and Tenth Prince.

Naturally, it is not in the name of the princess palace. Princess Duanmin calls herself the eldest princess and only has human relations with the East Palace. She is normal to other princes and elder brothers and does not show courtesy.

It was in the name of Prince Darhan's palace that they gave him skins, birthday noodles, etc., which made up the four-color birthday gift.

Originally, Brother Ten was supposed to be in the first place, and Jiu Fujin was in the second place.

Even if you are interested in easing the relationship with Brother Jiu, the two times are almost the same as the etiquette.

The confidant said: "Your Majesty, this code is the same code... That gift is a favor. Listening to Wu Beile's words, it is a grudge... It is better to dissolve enemies than to end them. Besides, if we really want to argue, how many of you can do it?

Tai Ji is not reasonable...I heard that many tribesmen are looking for Brother Jiu, trying to get the golden belt, but none of them can do it...Now those people in the Haraqin tribe are secretly enjoying themselves...the one with the belt

The order, Ninth Age, was handed over to the Internal Manufacturing Office... That was the Internal Manufacturing Office. If it hadn't been through Ninth Age, who among the Mongolian princes would have such dignity..."

I used to think that this prince was greedy and his money-grabbing attitude was disgusting, but now I can't tell who is taking advantage.

King Darhan felt a headache: "Then, do we need to prepare another gift?"

Even though he respects these princes on the face, he also compares them in his heart.

In terms of status, he is the hereditary Prince Heshuo; in terms of seniority, he is the uncle and cousin of the princes.

Even if the princes were decent and had high status, they could not overpower him, a Mongolian vassal king.

He didn't care about the golden belt incident before. In fact, what he was watching was not the Ninth Prince, it was for the emperor.

Who told the eldest princess to be disrespectful and offend the emperor at that time?

He, the prince-in-law, can only make up for it.

It is not the prince who is respectful, but the emperor behind the prince.

Then he prepared a special apology gift, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

The confidant hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, think about the Taijis and the little brothers of the grandchildren..."

At that time, the marriage will be arranged in the capital, and the princes and grandchildren who have no title to inherit will have to go to the capital to fill the vacancy.

Even if you can't beg the other party, you still have to guard against the other party causing mischief.

King Darhan was a practical person, otherwise he would not have lowered his dignity and made love to his wife in front of the emperor.

I was confused for a while, just because of the seniority issue.

After he figured it out, he asked someone to open the boxes he brought out and picked out a few valuable items.

Gold ingot lamp with the word "Fu", white jade Buddha's hand, sapphire "good luck and longevity", hundred sons in auspicious ink jade pendant.

Plus one tiger skin, two silver fox skins, two wolf skins, and two rolls of sable skins.

There were eight-colored gifts in total. I asked the palace chief to take them with him and personally deliver the gifts to the ninth elder brother's residence.

It's still in the name of birthday gift.

What else to do?

People talk too much, so they can't really accept it as an apology gift.

Ninth Brother is not here, Shu Shu is taking "Materia Medica" and thinking about warm and tonic ingredients.

Seeing the beginning of winter, her throat felt a little itchy.

Coupled with the cold and humid air in the mountains, there are some signs of illness.

Now in the retinue, it would be troublesome if the hospital was alerted.

Shu Shu asked someone to make "Mi Li Pu".

Last winter, it worked for her, and her symptoms were relieved in three or four days.

This year, perhaps because we are in the mountains, it is not as humid and cold as in Beijing, so it is not very effective.

She thought about changing the recipe.

If it doesn't work, we can only use the name of "rubella" and stay behind closed doors, but in the end this is the worst policy.

When Walnut came to report that it was the chief minister of the Darkhan Palace who wanted to see him, Shu Shu was a little surprised.

A few days ago, there were a lot of people giving gifts, but they were all gone.

Come to your door now...

Shu Shu changed her clothes and went out to meet the guests.

Chang Shi was a Confucian scholar in his fifties. He looked very respectful and polite, and said: "Our prince heard about the great fortune of the Jin Dynasty, and sent his ministers to congratulate him..."

Shu Shu didn't reply immediately, and she couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Could it be that I have mistakenly remembered that when Jiubu sent birthday gifts before, Prince Darhan did not send them?

She glanced at Walnut, who made a six.

Shu Shu remembered, this was a birthday gift of four sixes.

Six red fox skins, six pieces of damask, sixty longevity peaches, and sixty handfuls of longevity noodles.

It looks very comprehensive, but in comparison, it is not as valuable as the birthday gifts of other tribes.

Red fox is an ordinary leather, damask is not a rare clothing material, longevity peaches and longevity noodles are just a few.

Chang Shi had already stood up, holding the gift list in both hands.

Shu Shu's face dropped: "No reward for no merit. I have already accepted the birthday gift from the prince. There is no reason to accept it a second time. I would like to ask you to express my gratitude to the prince on my behalf..."

After saying that, she picked up the tea cup.

Chang Shi's hands and feet were numb and he did not dare to go rogue, so he could only respectfully retreat.

I didn't expect it to be rejected.

I have heard before that the Ninth Prince is greedy for money, and the reputation of this Ninth Prince is polarized. Some say that he has a gentle temperament that makes people feel like a spring breeze, while others say that he is a proud girl from a high family and is as violent as a living king of hell.

Now it seems that this bad reputation is not groundless.

How could Shu Shu pay attention to Chang Shi's slander and complained to Walnut: "What did you do earlier? I just thought about giving gifts..."

Regarding the Horqin Department, Brother Jiu has already told Shu Shu about his plans.

At Brother Jiu's place and Shu Shu's place, the entrances were blocked first.

He forced Prince Horqin to beg the fifth elder brother and give the favor to the fifth elder brother.

When there are comings and goings, the ties between them will become deeper.

Shu Shu felt that Brother Jiu's calculation was a bit naive.

If the fifth elder brother becomes powerful, even if they don't do these little tricks, the Horqin tribe will still use the name of the empress dowager to try to get close to the fifth elder brother.

If the fifth elder brother loses power, it will be a different situation.

Relying on this tie, it can only be a beautiful vision to make the Horqin tribe become the fifth elder brother's backer and provide him with protection.

However, she did not pour cold water on Brother Jiu and was still willing to cooperate.

It's rare for him to be sensible, take responsibility, and take the initiative to plan for his brother. It's better to just follow him and be happy.

Growth always takes place little by little.
