Chapter 1978 Inquiry

The fifth elder brother took his things and left.

The two value rooms were reserved for Brother Ninth.

Brother Jiu walked around. Since it was a side room, the two rooms together were not big, but it was enough for one person.

He Yuzhu went to the tea room, brought hot water and made chrysanthemum tea for Brother Jiu.

Chrysanthemum tea improves eyesight and refreshes the mind, suitable for drinking in spring.

When I came here this morning, Shu Shu had installed tea sets, an incense burner, a study room and other items.

Brother Jiu sat on the Arhat couch, picked up the tea cup, and looked at the chrysanthemums floating inside, feeling very comfortable.

The official roasting pot is one achievement, and the second one is left in Mulan Paddock.

Putting the two things together, this year has almost passed.

Brother Jiu was confident and his whole body relaxed.

He was just here to walk, and it was not his turn to worry about other official duties of the Lifan Yuan.

Because the fifth elder brother was in the Lifan Courtyard, the ninth elder brother had already known that this was Qingxian Yamen.

All year round, the busiest months are from October to February.

At that time, princes and princes from various Mongolian tribes came to Beijing for shifts, stayed in the inner and outer halls, and provided various introductions and banquets. The Lifanyuan was responsible for this.

Other times, it is the free time of the Lifanyuan Yamen.

"Brother Ninth, Brother Ninth..."

Before anyone could come in, there was a commotion at the door.

Following the voice, Brother Fourteen opened the door and came in.

Brother Jiu rolled his eyes and said, "What are you yelling about? This is a yamen, not home."

The fourteenth elder brother sneered and said, "I was so anxious to see the ninth elder brother that I didn't bother to do it for the moment."

Brother Jiu glanced at him and guessed the reason for his coming.

For yesterday’s gift of silver?

The fourteenth elder brother saw the tea tray next to the ninth elder brother and was not polite. He poured a cup of tea and drank it himself.

Brother Jiu said: "This morning, you are not in the Yamen, running around, and the fourth brother doesn't talk about you?"

That one is good at coaching people. When he was working as an errand in the household department, he was always honest.

If you only talk about yourself and not your 14th brother, it will make people feel uncomfortable.

The fourteenth elder brother said angrily: "I am busy, Khan Ama has passed on!"

Brother Ninth: "..."

That must be the right thing.

The fourteenth elder brother saw that the ninth elder brother did not ask further questions, so he looked at him and said: "Ninth elder brother can sit still!"

Brother Jiu said: "You have a bump on your butt? Why can't you sit still?"

The fourteenth elder brother looked at him and said: "Not only the fourth brother was passed on, but the third brother and the fifth brother were also passed on!"

Brother Jiu was a little unsure when he heard this.

If this was only passed down by the third and fourth brothers, it would still be considered a serious matter, but with the addition of the fifth brother, it would not be a serious matter.

The fourteenth elder brother said in a sour tone: "Ama Khan is the big brother in front of us. For us little brothers, Khan Ama will not think of him easily."

Brother Jiu said: "That's not a good idea. You can hide and relax."

The fourteenth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother carefully and said: "Ninth elder brother is willing to have a lower title than his brothers?"

Brother Jiu disapproved and said, "Why is it so low? When the first few brothers were my age, they were still bald brothers!"

The eighth elder brother was awarded Baylor at the age of eighteen, the seventh elder brother was nineteen, and his fifth elder brother was twenty.

I am also twenty years old.

On the other hand, the brothers before Fifth Brother were all knighted in their early twenties.

Brother Fourteen shook his head and said: "How can there be such a comparison?"

Brother Jiu said: "How can we compete if we don't do this? The eldest brother or the third brother are much older than us!"

As for the tenth prince and the two other princes, the ninth prince ignored it.

The fourteenth elder brother said with resentment: "We are also sons, why did the eighth brother start to seal Baylor? The ninth brother's prince's mansion was built directly according to the regulations of the Baylor mansion. When it came to the thirteenth brother and us, we only had the regulations of the Beizi mansion!"

Brother Jiu pointed in the direction of Qianqing Palace and said: "If you can't ask me, ask Khan Amma!"

The land boundary was drawn up last year, and three prince mansions were built in accordance with the regulations of Beizi Mansion. Now that they are almost completed, I think I am sick of thinking about this.

The fourteenth elder brother lowered his eyes and said: "I haven't told the ninth brother about the happy events in the palace yet. Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi have said that they are about to be promoted to the throne."

Brother Jiu was unhappy and said: "Okay, what are you talking about with these ladies? If Khan Ama is granted a harem, there will be news before the Longevity Festival. Why wait until now?"

Mainly Concubine Rong and Concubine He.

The former has seniority and enjoys the support of the concubine, but in the end his reputation is not justified.

The latter is favored and is the youngest empress in the palace, and she is also provided according to the concubine position.

Before the Wanshou Festival, there were people outside speculating whether these two people would be promoted to concubines. As a result, during the Wanshou Festival, there was no news.

The fourteenth elder brother said: "Yesterday, the inner court granted silver. The other concubines and concubines received annual stipends. Only Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi received double annual stipends."

Brother Jiu hummed softly and said, "Even three hundred taels of silver is worth talking back to you?"

Fourteenth Brother: "..."

Brother Fourteen just feels embarrassed.

You know, before the crown prince, it was the fourth concubine who was in charge of palace affairs.

Now there are only three concubines left among the four concubines, but my empress has been left behind.

Is that an ordinary three hundred taels of silver?

Brother Jiu's thoughts have already gone to Qianqing Palace.

What did Gozenden do with so many people?

*

At the gate of Qianqing Palace, the fifth elder brother also asked the fourth elder brother in a low voice.

"What's the matter? Just ask your two brothers to come over. Why are you still here with me?"

He felt a little guilty.

Could it be because he delayed going to the Penal Department Yamen?

The fourth elder brother couldn't guess it, so he looked at the third elder brother.

The third elder brother felt that cold sweat was forming on his forehead.

He was worried that news of Tian's premature birth would reach the imperial court.

Launching on the Longevity Festival, this plan is too obvious.

Seeing that the third elder brother was distracted, the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother looked at each other.

The fifth elder brother said: "Third brother, what did you do? One person does the work and the other takes responsibility. Don't make us get scolded..."

The third elder brother said harshly: "It was a good day yesterday, what can I do? Can't it be that we entered the South Study Room before and Khan Ama wanted to praise us?"

The fifth elder brother pointed at himself and said, "Isn't it nonsense to praise me?"

Then, he pointed at the fourth elder brother and said, "If it's something about the South Study Room, the fourth elder brother can't be blamed."

The three brothers were all worried.

At this moment, Liang Jiugong came out and said: "The emperor sent the prince and the two Lords of Belle to go in."

The three of them entered Qianqing Palace.

Liang Jiugong did not move where he was and went to send a message to the guards.

When they entered Xinuang Pavilion, the three brothers paid their respects.

Kangxi looked at his fourth elder brother and said, "You went to Prince Yu's Mansion a few days ago to see how Prince Yu was doing?"

Fourth Brother said: "I am still bedridden and have difficulty moving, but I can speak now, and I think my condition is getting better."

Kangxi looked at the third elder brother and the fifth elder brother again: "When did you visit Prince Yu? How was Prince Yu's condition at that time?"

The third elder brother said: "It was the twentieth day of the first lunar month, a few days after Uncle Wang became ill. At that time, Uncle Wang was aphasic and paralyzed. He looked very bad."

But I wasn’t too worried.

Stroke is not a rare condition for elderly people. Even if they cannot fully recover, they can recover slowly.
