Chapter 1684: Grass ashes lie on the line

In the same manner as the eldest sister, Princess Rongxian behaves differently from Princess Chunxi.

Princess Chunxi is more disciplined, while Princess Rongxian is more easy-going.

This is the confidence of the eldest daughter of the emperor.

In addition, Princess Rongxian has returned to the court twice in the past few years, and she has had many interactions with the young couple, so they all became more familiar with each other.

The ninth elder brother couldn't help complaining to Princess Rongxian about the strange behavior of the third elder brother, saying: "It wasn't obvious when I was in the palace earlier. This one is the master of the house, but it's amazing. The other one is so dignified. I heard that

The servants in Prince Cheng's Mansion have a meal of sticky rice cake every day in the kitchen, just to survive the hunger. Do you think this is a big joke?"

Princess Rongxian was stunned when she heard this and said, "When did this happen? Why didn't I hear about it when I returned to Beijing last year?"

Why is this so?

No more dignity?!

Brother Jiu said: "Even after I was promoted back to the Prince's Palace, there were more people working on errands and more money to spend. I couldn't make ends meet, and there were various interceptions. Now everyone in the capital knows that the master of Prince Cheng's Palace only has four dishes..."

"When I first heard about it, I tried to persuade him, saying that I could save a sip of rice wherever I went, and that I didn't have to dig money into the mouths of slaves. But the third brother was still convincing, saying that it would also satisfy hunger, and one pound of rice would be exchanged for two pounds.

Huang rice, this strong man can eat half a catty of rice in one meal, but he can't eat half a catty of sticky rice cakes. With just this amount, this big stove can save more than two hundred taels of silver a year..."

"There are also seasonal clothes for the servants in the mansion. They are made of defective cloth from various cloth shops. They are colorful and it is also a scene..."

Princess Rongxian, listen, it’s not a big deal.

Isn't this a bit much?

Even if the third elder brother is stingy, he is a prince, so how can he achieve this?

It has been four years since I moved out of the palace at the end of thirty-seven years. How come you were so good in the early years without any major wrinkles?

Princess Rongxian's heart was heavy, but she didn't show it on her face. She just shook her head and said: "As time goes by, she loves money. This is probably because she is afraid that the salary will not be able to support the palace, and she is afraid that she will have to supplement it, so she is trying every means to save money."

Is this because he is afraid of the prince's power and is "self-defeating"?

Princess Rongxian somewhat understood what Third Prince was thinking.

This is because he knows that the limelight is not right, and he is afraid of becoming a target, so he will show his shortcomings first.

Brother Jiu curled his lips.

"I haven't heard of any company that relies on the salary to live, but they divide various industries into various industries. If they don't manage it well, they will earn 8,000 taels of silver in a year, and there will be blue armor silver!"

The prince of Duoluo County is divided into fifty blue armors and one thousand eight hundred taels of silver armor per year.

"What did Khan Amma say?" Princess Rongxian asked.

Brother Ninth shook his head and said: "I haven't heard what Khan Amma said. Who knows whether a private lesson will teach you a lesson, but I think about it, even if you reprimand me, it's hard for the third brother to change."

Princess Rongxian sighed and said: "He is nearly thirty and can never change, so let him be!"

After Brother Ninth finished talking, he saw Princess Rongxian showing worry and regretted a little.

He hurriedly added: "But it's not all bad. There are actually a lot of people outside who praise Third Brother, especially the old gentlemen from the Ministry of Rites and those from the Hanlin Academy. When it comes to Third Brother, only those who praise him say that Third Brother is not mean.

Instead of serving others, we should start from ourselves and practice frugality..."

Of course, the people who praised him were just a few, and the people who laughed at him were more likely to laugh at him.

Especially everyone up and down the Eight Banners regarded it as a rare thing and chewed their tongues for half a month.

Although Shu Shu had heard about it before, she didn't take it seriously. Now that she heard it, she realized it was this point.

Promoted back to the Queen...

Do you want to withdraw?

Still want to enter?

Or both.

The third prince is one of the "Kowloon Seizing the Progeny" players. Even if he is not the main player, he has not fallen behind from the beginning to the end.

Previously, the third prince himself was demoted first, followed by his biological mother. Compared with other princes, his status became a bit subtle.

Now that he has been promoted back to the county king, things have turned upside down and it is a completely different situation.

Princess Rongxian pinched her palms.

She was a little anxious.

She guessed a lot about the reason why her biological mother was sealed from the palace.

She would not interfere in royal affairs unreasonably, but she also knew that if the prince came to power, his biological mother and younger brother might not end well in the future.

For several generations of the Qing royal family, there were many clans that had their yellow belt removed.

She also knew her brother's shortcomings. It would be fine if he didn't jump around. As long as the prince was not the prince and other princes came to the throne, she would only respect the older brother, Third Prince. But if he was jumping around, it would be bad.

But that is the throne, and my husband-in-law is honest and honest, but if he has the opportunity to inherit the throne of the county, he will do his best. This is what men want, and they all want power...

Shu Shu and Brother Jiu stayed at Princess Rongxian for half an hour before leaving.

Princess Rongxian also prepared a return gift, which was two jars of kumiss, two rolls of lynx skin, a soapstone ornament and a box of soapstone seal materials.

When we arrived at the third princess's place, she was already waiting.

The small banquet of the Three-Enchant Prince Consort was held over there at the prince's residence, not here.

So just like the previous one, the three princesses entertained the guests alone.

It's just that unlike the eloquent Princess Chunxi and the considerate and kind Princess Rongxian, the third princess remains as taciturn as ever.

Whether it's Brother Jiu or Shu Shu, it's all indifferent.

Although Brother Jiu knew that she was confused, he was not very happy when he saw her neither salty nor cool look.

The third princess was hesitant. She originally planned to find Shu Shu privately and inquire about the temperaments of Honghui from the fourth elder brother's family and Hongsheng from the fifth elder brother's family.

Among so many brothers, these two value human kindness the most.

Si Fujin was a child bride of the royal family. She was married into the palace when she was only ten years old. She also had dealings with the three princesses, and she was an honest and not meddlesome person.

But in front of the ninth elder brother, the third princess hesitated.

She remembered the importance of it. Brother Jiu was a talkative when he was a child and could not hold two ounces of sesame oil in his stomach.

She didn't even look at her, and she hesitated to speak. Brother Jiu became a little impatient and hummed softly: "The third sister is eager to see me, Fujin. Now that we have come to my door, why are there nothing to say..."

At this point, he came to his senses and said, "Okay, are you guarding me, my brother?"

He has some emotions.

If it's not easy to say something in front of him, then it's none of Brother Ten's business.

These three princesses came to Rehe. Even if they didn't return to the court, they were still half way there. They didn't say a word to the ten princes?

The third princess touched the multi-treasure bracelet on her wrist. The color combination was a bit lively and did not match her temperament. It was her daughter who had hand-strung it for her.

This marriage was not a feud, she glanced at Brother Jiu.

After being a cadre for several years, Ninth Brother should not be as open-mouthed as he was when he was a child.

It would be fine if you can go out with some proper exposure.

She coughed lightly and said to Shu Shu: "I wanted to find my younger siblings before, because I wanted to find out about the temperaments of the eldest brother of the Fourth Beile House and the eldest brother of the Fifth Beile House."

She was not a lively person, and she didn't mean to make any insinuations, so she asked directly.

Shu Shu was stunned and didn't answer for a while.

Brother Jiu became more and more unhappy as he listened.

A serious brother doesn't ask a question, but instead asks about a nephew he has never met. What's the point of this?

"Third sister, why are you asking about this? Although he is a nephew, he is of the younger generation and cannot get along with him." Brother Ninth asked.

The third princess was speechless for a moment.

It's hard to say that you want to choose a husband for your daughter if you haven't even figured out the horoscope yet.

Shu Shu understood that this was for the eldest daughter of the third princess.

She considered it carefully and said: "Honghui's fourth brother and sister-in-law think highly of him, and he is above average in civil and military skills; Hongsheng follows the fifth brother, he is a well-educated man and has a laid-back temperament."

The third princess glanced at Shu Shu and understood what she meant.

Honghui, the eldest son of the Sibeile Mansion, is both civilized and military, he is quite motivated, and his parents love him.

Hong Sheng, on the other hand, is not very good at his homework, but he has a good temperament.

The third princess felt a little melancholy.

Fewer and fewer Mongolian noble girls are marrying into the capital.

Even if she is the daughter of a clan, a noble daughter of the royal family is not the choice that a noble family would like.

After listening to the child's sutra, the ninth elder brother finally understood. He stared at the third princess with wide eyes and said, "Third sister, are you confused? The marriage between the emperor and his grandson can only be a marriage by Khan Ama, and it is other people's turn to worry about it."

?”

The Eight Banners' customary marriages were limited to close clan clans. It was a matter of royal dignity and also to prevent royal people from colluding with outsiders in the form of marriage.

This close clan, starting from the emperor's father, the descendants of Taizong to the emperor's grandchildren, are all within the scope of marriage.

The elder brothers in these families do not have the final say in their marriage.

The third princess's face turned red, her lips moved, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence, "I just asked first..."

Brother Jiu snorted lightly and said: "Brother, I advise you not to inquire in private, so as not to offend Khan Amma's taboo. If you really have this plan, then find an opportunity to ask Khan Amma for grace and let Khan Amma choose

People are the real truth!"

If the marriage is planned before the three-amount prince-in-law inherits the title, there will be more room for choice.

The legitimate sons and the eldest sons of the concubines of each prince's house who are of suitable age are considered suitable.

If you wait until the prince consort with a third amount of money to propose marriage, then it will be a high or a low decision, and there will be less room for choice.

But this is for the third princess.

For the princes in the capital, marrying a noble of the Eight Banners, or marrying a famous family of the banner, is more beneficial than marrying a son to a Mongolian Fujin...
