In addition to the prepared food, there are also two Song editions of military books and a set of "Qing Code".

Brother Jiu and Shu Shu raised their eyebrows and said, "Look what I did to my younger brother. I was not sensible at that time and did not study hard. Now I have to take the blame. This is a lesson learned from the past. They should study hard!"

Shu Shu couldn't help laughing and said: "I can't say whether my fourteenth brother is happy or not. Your Majesty and Concubine De must be thinking of me."

Brother Jiu was proud and said: "Among Khan Ama's many sons, others are not at the forefront, but when it comes to 'brothers, friends and brothers' respect,' I can definitely be at the forefront..."

Shu Shu said: "I'm afraid my fourteenth brother is going to cry. I had previously specified that I was looking forward to horses, bows and arrows, and sabers."

When teenagers like to play with swords, their favorite things are good horses and equipment.

Brother Jiu hummed softly: "Who told me to be so loyal? I am doing it for his own good."

The next day, Brother Fourteen sent someone over.

It turned out that the fourteenth elder brother had been depressed for a day and was unwilling to give in, so he sent a "return gift" to the ninth elder brother.

It is a set of "The Book of Rites", one hundred and sixty volumes.

"Our father specially used the New Year's money to buy it. It's the Song Dynasty version..."

The eunuch who came to deliver the book lowered his head and reported.

"Ah……"

Brother Jiu couldn't laugh or cry, and said: "This little bastard doesn't suffer at all, he returns the gift very quickly!"

The eunuch added: "Our master also went to the imperial court and mentioned the matter to the emperor. The emperor said that the ceremony was well prepared..."

Brother Ninth: "..."

When the eunuch left, Shu Shu couldn't help laughing and said, "Fourteenth brother is quite funny..."

Brother Jiu gritted his teeth and said: "You have been a bad person since you were a child, but you have been pretending to be honest in the past two years!"

The couple were chatting, when Cui Baisui hurriedly came to report that someone from the imperial court was coming.

Shu Shu and Brother Jiu looked at each other.

Brother Jiu said: "It's still far away from the Lantern Festival. Besides, even if there is a feudal banquet, the Lifanyuan and the Ministry of Rites are in the front. The Ministry of Internal Affairs just makes up the numbers, so I don't need to personally watch it, right?"

Shu Shu said: "Don't delay, I will find out when you go ahead."

Before and after New Year's Eve, I also took a break for half a month.

Brother Jiu nodded and went forward.

It's Wei Zhu who's here.

"Master Jiu, the emperor has returned to the palace..."

Wei Zhu bowed and said.

Brother Jiu was not surprised when he heard this.

Last year, after the Holy Emperor went to Changchun Garden to accompany the Queen Mother, he also returned to the palace once.

"Did Khan Amma send me the message?" Brother Jiu asked.

Is there something big going on in the Ministry of Internal Affairs?

It seems that the only thing left to do is to establish an additional Yushi Yamen.

Brother Jiu thought.

Wei Zhu said: "The emperor saw the situation of the eldest princess in the past two days. It was not good and he was worried, so he went back to the palace. He wanted to go directly to visit the eldest princess, but he was afraid of shocking the eldest princess, so he called the servants over.

Send a message to Master Jiu to go over first and ask the princess carefully, and also pay a visit to the eldest princess..."

Brother Jiu was silent after hearing this.

I had known for a long time that the eldest princess was having a hard time, but since the New Year was over, she thought things would get better.

He nodded and said: "I understand, let's get over it."

Wei Zhu went back to resume his life.

Brother Ninth went back and spoke to Shu Shu before leaving the prince's residence.

The Princess's Villa is very close to the Prince's Mansion, only two miles away.

The carriage arrived at the gate of the Princess Courtyard in less than half a quarter of an hour.

Brother Jiu got off the carriage and looked at the still grand door, feeling deeply.

In the first month of last year, their brothers were sent here to watch Suo'etu's house being ransacked and questioned.

I didn't think anything of it at the time, but now that I think about it, what does Khan Amma mean?

Kill the chicken to scare the monkey?

Knocking on mountains and shaking tigers?

Brother Ninth was a little confused.

The eunuch at the porter recognized the carriage regulations and rushed inside to report the news.

When Brother Jiu and the concierge announced their door and strode in, Princess Rongxian had already come out to greet them.

"Lao Jiu is here..."

Princess Rongxian's smile was a little tired, and she looked thinner.

Seeing this, Ninth Prince raised his hands in the direction of the Forbidden City and said: "I came on the order of Khan Amma!"

Princess Rongxian's face became more solemn.

Brother Jiu said: "Khan Ama was afraid of coming over rashly and disturbing my aunt, so I asked my brother to come over first and take a look."

Princess Rongxian heard this, her eyes were red, and she said: "Grandma has stopped eating rice water since yesterday..."

Brother Jiu frowned and said, "Then why don't you report it?"

Princess Rongxian choked up and said, "Grandma said, it's the Chinese New Year, so don't disturb everyone. She said she would wait until after the Lantern Festival before putting on the discounts."

Here at the Princess Villa, the imperial doctor has been arranged to take turns.

Brother Jiu called the imperial doctor over and asked, "Did you use ginseng?"

The imperial doctor bowed and said: "Master Jiu, the eldest princess stopped ginseng and replaced it with Korean ginseng years ago. She has been using ginseng soup for the past two days..."

Brother Jiu also understood why the emperor's father was worried.

It's really been a bad time, it's been these two or three days.

It's just that since I came here under orders, what I heard was false and what I saw was true.

The ninth elder brother said to Princess Rongxian: "Second sister, brother, go over and take a look, so that you can return to Khan Ama..."

Princess Rongxian nodded and led Brother Jiu to the eldest princess's bedroom.

Brother Jiu held his breath and concentrated, fearing to disturb the old man.

The eldest princess lay with her eyes closed and her breathing was extremely weak.

Her hair was only gray before, but now more than half a month has passed, it is completely white, has lost its luster, and looks dry.

Her eye sockets were so sunken that her eye bones were protruding.

Brother Jiu looked at it and felt a little uncomfortable.

Although I have only met this great-aunt a few times, she is a loving old lady.

Looking at this, I'm really having a hard time.

At this moment, the eldest princess opened her eyes.

"grandmother……"

Princess Rongxian stepped forward with some excitement.

The eldest princess's eyes were a little blurred, and she said after a while: "Rong Xian..."

"It's my granddaughter-in-law..."

Princess Rongxian held the eldest princess's hand, but her body froze.

The eldest princess's hands were cold.

"What day is it today..." the eldest princess asked with a smile.

"On the tenth day of the lunar month, in five days, it will be the Lantern Festival..." Princess Rongxian said with a forced smile.

"Five days..."

The eldest princess sighed and said: "I can't survive it anymore. I can only become an unpleasant person and give the emperor some trouble..."

"Yes!" Princess Rongxian choked and nodded, and in a low voice sent someone to convey a message to Chang Shi.

Brother Jiu saw that the eldest princess's forehead was shiny and her complexion was gradually rosy. He didn't dare to delay. He took out his belt and handed it to He Yuzhu, and whispered: "Go to the palace and report to the emperor that the eldest princess has woken up and is sweating."

Like pulp!”

At this moment, the eldest princess saw the ninth elder brother behind Princess Rongxian. She put down Princess Rongxian's hand, looked at it intently for several times, and said: "It's the ninth elder brother..."

Brother Jiu took two steps forward, took the old man's hand, endured his fear, and said, "It's my grandson..."

The eldest princess smiled and said: "The dishes my brother sent me years ago were so good, I ate them all, and I was very happy..."

Brother Jiu hurriedly said: "There are many more. The greenhouse at my grandson's house is bigger than this dormitory. If you want to eat anything, my grandson will send someone to get it."

The eldest princess said: "I want to eat rice dumplings. I want rice dumplings sprinkled with coriander and green onions..."

"Okay, okay! My grandson will send someone to get them now. He wants the freshest cabbage leaves, tender coriander and green onions..."

Brother Ninth held the eldest princess's hand, feeling so cold that his heart trembled.

He was afraid that he would lose his composure, so he turned around and said to Sun Jin: "Go to the house quickly to pick vegetables. You need all these. Then go to the kitchen and bring beef jerky and milk skins, and some Mongolian fruits..."

Sun Jin trotted away.

The eldest princess listened and swallowed her saliva: "Beef jerky, naipizi, Mongolian fruit..."
