The Crown Princess has a soft heart.

She didn't speak, but was thinking about what she had just mentioned to Shi Fujin.

Because of the emperor, the couple and their concubines promised to respect him, not to mention the prince and prince Fujin.

What did the prince do before the result?

The distinction between king and minister is superior to that of brothers.

What does the emperor think?

After a moment, she smiled and nodded: "Okay!"

"Second sister-in-law!"

Shi Fujin's title was concise and intimate. He took the Crown Princess's hand and said: "From now on, I will follow Master Shi and call the Crown Prince 'Second Brother'. I don't want to call him 'Second Uncle', as if he calls me uncle!"

The princess has no choice but to make the decision.

The princes were more respectful than close to the prince.

This is a habit that has been cultivated since childhood, and it is also the emperor's advice.

Maybe someone used the term "Second Brother" once or twice when I was a kid, but it definitely doesn't exist now.

She said kindly: "This, you listen to Uncle Shi..."

At the banquet outside, Brother Ninth knew himself well and did not show off his strength, so he pushed several cousins ​​forward.

Even the twelfth elder brother, he did not fall behind. He patted his younger brother on the shoulder and said: "Drink well and watch well. Follow the example and learn as fast as you can. You will be around the year after tomorrow..."

The twelfth prince is fifteen years old, the thirteenth prince is fourteen years old, and the fourteenth prince is twelve years old. He should also be named Fujin before the draft in the 40th year of Kangxi's reign.

The twelfth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother, hesitated, and asked: "Ninth elder brother will leave Beijing at noon tomorrow?"

Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "Yeah, don't be envious, study hard. Who told you that you are not a mature man now? Just go to the study next year..."

At this point, thinking that he would go out and his younger brother would not be in the palace for two months, he said again: "Brother Fifteen, please keep a close eye on me. If someone is ignorant and bullies Shoushan, please help me."

I'll scold you back!"

The twelfth elder brother knew that he was the ninth elder brother's brother-in-law, and said: "Anyone who can make haha ​​beads has been taught the rules at home."

Brother Jiu glanced in the direction of the East Palace and said, "It's not like there are too many people now!"

This is talking about the enrollment of the eldest brother in Yuqing Palace.

The twelfth elder brother was like a clam shell and immediately fell silent.

Although he is the prince and the grandson of the emperor, in the eyes of the courtiers and the clan, his status cannot be compared with that of the eldest brother of Yuqing Palace.

Brother Jiu took out his pocket watch and looked at it. It was almost the beginning of the month of Xu.

Because of my brother's wedding banquet tonight, the closing time of the Shenwu Sect will be later.

Seeing everything in front of him was red and bustling, he took He Yuzhu and walked back to the second house.

Today, in order to celebrate the marriage, he is also the best man, wearing a bright, sapphire blue robe and walnut-colored vest.

He changed his clothes and put on a light gray squirrel-colored robe, and took off the big red purse from his waist.

He Yuzhu was standing by and said, "I am going to Sibeile's Mansion to give Sibeile an apology?"

Brother Jiu nodded and sighed: "I never expected that I would be sad if I said I was sad."

Although he is actually three years old, the second elder brother of Sibeile Mansion is actually less than his second birthday.

Even though Ninth Brother has been there several times, he has never met in person.

To talk about the relationship between uncle and nephew is nonsense.

But thinking about the scene when he met the fourth elder brother this morning, the ninth elder brother couldn't bear it.

He followed He Yuzhu and said: "I don't have a son to look forward to. If I have a son, I still have to worry about him. I'm sorry for Khan, my eldest brother is also pitiful, and now my fourth brother is also quite pitiful."

This reminds me of the incident in the early years when the emperor's father lost seven of his ten sons, and the eldest brother and his wife gave birth to daughters one after another, just to seek a legitimate son.

He Yuzhu was silent.

He is a man, and he is looking forward to inheriting his bloodline, right?

He is a rootless person, so he doesn't need to worry about this.

I only hope that my master and Fujin will be able to get along well in the future.

Because he was in a hurry, Brother Ninth did not go to the guard office to call the guards, but directly ordered a few guards at Shenwumen to follow him, and rode to Sibeile Mansion.

*

Sibeile Mansion, front study.

Brother Si is sitting behind the desk, copying the Ksitigarbha Sutra.

Sandalwood was burning in the room, which made it look like a Buddhist chamber, adding a bit of Zen feel.

According to the current rules, there is no grave or monument for a deceased young child, and he or she can be buried directly somewhere.

The younger brother has been buried in a large village in Haidian under his name.

Although the relationship between father and son is shallow, the fourth elder brother still plans to fast for three days, copy scriptures, and hope that his son will have a good reincarnation.

At this moment, a boy from the concierge came in and said: "Master, Master Jiu is here."

The fourth elder brother was quite surprised, and then he frowned.

It's already the time to hold the lanterns, and it's also the time for my brother to open the banquet. If you don't stay in the palace at this time, what are you doing out here?

He didn't move. Just when he was about to ask someone to bring Brother Nine over, Brother Nine had already come over on his own.

"Fourth brother, fourth brother..."

Brother Jiu came in lively, and the room suddenly became noisy.

The fourth elder brother felt noisy and wanted to reprimand him. When he saw what the ninth elder brother was wearing, his heart softened and he changed his words: "Why are you coming out at this time? Shouldn't you accompany me to the banquet?"

Brother Jiu pulled up a chair and sat down, saying: "Don't worry, Fourth Brother, we have arranged for people. Prince Uncle, several brothers from Prince Uncle's residence are here..."

When he saw the written scriptures on the table, he didn't know what to say.

He didn't have a son either, and he really didn't know what would happen if he lost his son, but he still lost his younger brother.

The pain of losing a loved one should be similar.

He thought about it for a while, thought of some words of comfort, and said: "Fourth brother, if this nephew is really weak, he will be better off sooner than later."

Fourth Brother glared at him, is he this comforting person?

Brother Jiu coughed slightly and said, "It's better to raise the child for two years than to raise it to more than ten years old, right? When the child suffers, the adults won't be able to bear it either."

To put it further, for example, their cousin from Prince Gong’s Mansion died when he was sixteen years old and was about to become a male in half a year.

Speaking more closely, there was Brother Eleven, who was already twelve years old when he died.

The corners of Brother Jiu's mouth were drooped, and he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

He is a brother, if that's the case, what about the empress and Khan Amma?

Brother Si felt sad when he saw him talking, and said with helplessness: "I know this truth, but I feel uncomfortable and want to be quiet. It will be fine in a few days."

Brother Jiu sighed and said, "Being a parent is not easy. Khan Ama is so pitiful."

Fourth elder brother: "..."

He rubbed his forehead, not understanding Brother Jiu's unreasonable thoughts, and only warned: "In the future, whenever it involves Khan Amma, just think in your heart and don't say it out loud!"

No matter what the intention is, if you say it, it will easily become an excuse and be criticized by others.

Brother Jiu had already gone out on an errand and knew that this was a good thing, so he nodded reluctantly.

The lights were already on in the house, and it was getting dark.

The fourth elder brother urged: "Go back to the palace early, and eat less wine at night. We have to travel tomorrow."

Brother Jiu didn't move his buttocks. He glanced at the clock and said, "It's still early to lock up at the beginning of the day."

The fourth elder brother could not see his procrastination and said: "Then go back, I have to see off the guests on behalf of the tenth brother."

This was his job, but leaving it to Brother Nine was already worrying, and Brother Nine ran out again.

The prince's position is not easy to change lightly, and the cousins ​​in Prince Yu's Palace and Prince Gong's Palace also have low titles and insufficient status.

Brother Jiu stood up reluctantly, but he thought of Sifujin.

Sifujin is a good sister-in-law and treats Shushu as a close friend.

Brother Jiu was biased in his heart.

He said: "Fourth brother, you are in trouble, don't think about comforting Gege just for this, and then have a bastard or something. If you want to have another brother, you should go to the fourth sister-in-law. It is better for your son to be a legitimate child...

…”

Brother Si's face turned dark and he yelled: "Shut up!"

It's becoming more and more unreasonable!
