Chapter 272: Decent (first update, please vote for me)
Brother Thirteen was a little worried when he saw this.
"Aren't you going to chase me? The fourteenth brother has such a bad temper that he must have really gone to Qing Palace..."
Brother Jiu was worried at first, but after thinking about it, he disagreed.
"Let's just go, what else can we do?"
Even if Khan Amma pampers her sons, they do so according to their age.
When I was seven or eight years old, I would cry and fuss, but I was still cute.
If you dare to let it go again when you are in your teens, you will be in need of a lesson.
Khan Amma's kindness has its limits.
If the prince's brothers are obedient and make progress, he can be more tolerant.
If you want to be proud of your favor, you will probably be punished.
Brother Thirteen is not easy to answer.
Brother Ninth reminded.
"After today, you can say hello to Concubine Hui and see when she will move here... With Fourteen's virtue, there will still be trouble..."
Now that the power of the palace is in the hands of the Crown Princess, Concubine Hui is still keeping an eye on the daily life of Ke Zhaoxiang's younger brother.
Brother Thirteen nodded, with a serious look on his face.
Just thinking that the fourteenth brother has been with him all these years, do we really want to separate?
He hesitated a little.
Is it true that Brother Fourteen is left alone in Zhaoxiang Station?
There are currently two vacant courtyards in Xiwusuo.
In fact, one yard for two people is just right...
But the fourth one seems to have been empty for two years...
Although it was the courtyard where Brother Eleven lived, according to the rules of the palace, after he became seriously ill, he was moved to Jingshan and was not in the palace.
So there is nothing taboo...
It's really taboo. Counting the past dynasties, this Forbidden City has been here for hundreds of years. Which house has not housed a dead person?
*
At this moment, the fourteenth elder brother had already run to Qianqing Palace.
He was tired from running and stood outside the palace gate panting.
But he also knew the importance and did not rush in directly. Instead, he raised his chin and motioned to the eunuch at the door to come in and pass the message.
Kangxi couldn't help but frown after hearing the report.
Why did everyone run towards the imperial court?
When the prince's brothers did not come to the imperial court, he would worry about it every day.
Every day, he would take time to go to the study room to test his sons' civil and martial arts.
But when you get older, most of the time you still "go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing", which is why you are in trouble...
He glanced at the clock.
Chen Chu......
If you are not studying in the study at this time, what are you doing here?
Kangxi nodded and called people in.
The fourteenth brother came in with red eyes. He wiped it on his face randomly when he came in and said pitifully: "Khan Ama, Khan Ama, the ninth brother took the thirteenth brother to be the best man, and my son also wants to go..."
Kangxi immediately made a serious face: "What nonsense! You actually skipped class and went back to the study to study!"
Brother Fourteen was a little timid and annoyed, pouting unconvinced.
"But the thirteenth brother has gone, why can't my son go?"
Kangxi frowned and looked at the fourteenth elder brother: "Did the ninth elder brother ask you to come?"
"Uh-huh……"
The fourteenth elder brother nodded quickly: "He said he couldn't make the decision, so he asked his son to ask Khan Ama..."
Kangxi looked puzzled after hearing this.
The fourteenth elder brother remembered the favoritism of the ninth elder brother and complained with dissatisfaction.
"Khan Ama, please take care of Ninth Brother. He said that his son is a brat, and he also said that today is a serious matter, so he did not take care of his son... It seems that his son is a child, how naughty, and Thirteenth Brother is not good either.
Ding..."
Kangxi frowned and hummed softly.
"Brother Thirteen has always been obedient. Now that he can become an adult, are you obedient?"
The fourteenth elder brother puffed out his cheeks and his eyes were a little wandering, but he said firmly: "My son is obedient..."
Having said this, he still remembered to make amends: "Even if there was a time when I was disobedient before, it was before, so why not be obedient in the future?"
Kangxi waved his hand and said: "Go back to study honestly... If you are obedient, I will take you out next year... If you are not obedient, I will not have you in the guard next year..."
Brother Fourteen almost jumped up when he heard this.
Can you follow me on your own?
He quickly covered his mouth and his face became more well-behaved.
"My son is obedient, Khan Ama, my son has gone to study..."
With that said, he walked out.
When he got out of the door, he felt uneasy, so he held on to the door frame and stuck out his little head.
"Khan Ama, we have agreed, you have no words to say..."
Kangxi looked at him angrily.
The fourteenth elder brother didn't dare to pester him any more, so he turned back one step at a time and left.
Kangxi couldn't help complaining: "I will be twelve in the next year, and I don't look stable..."
Liang Jiugong said with a smile: "This is the youngest son of the Empress of Yonghe Palace. He is doted on by the emperor, so he is so innocent and romantic. It will be fine in two years. The Thirteenth Master was also lively when he was a child..."
Kangxi asked in confusion: "Is Thirteenth Brother like this in the past two years?"
He thought about it and found that it really wasn't the case.
The thirteenth brother is lively and lively, but he is also sensible.
Obviously I am not very old, but because I live with my 14th elder brother, I act like a younger brother.
He thought again of the two thugs, Ninth Elder Brother and Tenth Elder Brother.
I didn't hear that when I was a child, but I didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of myself.
It’s Brother Fourteen who is more used to it.
He shook his head gently: "This fourteenth brother, I have to teach him a lesson later..."
Maybe I could just use the excuse of being a follower to correct his bad habits...
*
The second one is here.
The tenth elder brother also came over.
He was wearing a brand-new royal robe, with a sable golden satin hood on the outside.
It's said to be sable, but it's actually black.
Brother Jiu frowned when he saw it.
Before, I only thought about making my clothes less heavy and forgot about the end caps on the outside.
Everyone wears the same color as the prince's sable hood, and they all look the same.
Brother Ten smiled and said: "Brother Ninth, just wear this. It's a cold day, even if we don't wear this, others will wear this..."
Brother Jiu thought about it, he was wearing a hood and took it off when he got to the house.
Not to mention, the three brothers stood together, all wearing the same color sable warm hats and black end shields, which looked like uniforms, which was quite eye-catching.
Except for the thirteenth elder brother, the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother are almost the same in stature, but they looked too thin before.
In this winter, I first put on the daily clothes in mink fur, and then added the mink fur end cover on the outside. The whole person was propped up several times, and it looked a bit imposing.
Shu Shu stood aside and watched, holding back her aunt's smile.
Seeing her like this, Brother Jiu told her: "Stay at home well, don't worry about your wallet, don't worry too much about your eyes, don't prick your fingers, if there are good dried meats and milk pancakes on the table today, I will bring them to you." Come back some..."
The tenth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother were nearby, looking at each other, both speechless.
Is this to coax a child?
The sister-in-law she mentioned seems to be clumsy and greedy...
Brother Ninth, are you blind?
Shu Shu nodded cooperatively and said softly: "You all listen to me. I will eat less wine when I'm out. If someone is toasting, I will give it to Sibeile to avoid sweating and catching cold when I go out..."
Brother Jiu also nodded and said: "I know, don't worry..."
At about the second quarter of the lunar month, the three brothers decided to go to Qianqing Palace without any further delay.
Shu Shu wanted to follow her out to see her off, but Brother Jiu stopped her.
"Stay well in the house and go outside to eat in the cold breeze..."
Shu Shu had no choice but to send her to the corridor.
The Thirteenth Brother and the Tenth Brother were watching and witnessed a couple's farewell.
Brother Thirteen was a little confused and whispered: "Brother Ten, who is coaxing whom?"
Looking at them both seemed to have become smaller.
Not only Brother Ninth regards Sister-in-law Ninth as his child.
Sister-in-law Ninth seems not to regard Brother Ninth as an adult either.
The tenth elder brother glanced at the thirteenth elder brother, and saw his expression and knew that he was not enlightened. He hummed softly: "It's good to play with each other, isn't it good, we are all happy..."
It seems that I have learned a lot.
The three brothers came out of the second house and went to Qianqing Palace.
When the three of them arrived at the imperial court, they found that many people were present in Xinuan Pavilion.
Fourth brother has arrived.
The makeup is similar to that of the three of them.
He wears a prince's cap over his regular clothes.
Just above the fourth elder brother, there is another person, also with a black mink mask, but Bailizi, in his forties, the current Zongzheng of the Zongren Mansion, and Eza, the king of Xinjun.
Opposite the two, three people sat.
The old man with a gray beard is the minister in charge of the bodyguard and a first-class public figure.
The young minister, who looked to be no more than 20 years old, was the Manchurian Governor and Minister of Internal Affairs of Manchuria with a yellow flag, and the first-class Duke Aling'a.
The last one, who is in his forties and wearing the supplementary uniform of a first-class civil servant, is Ma Qi, the minister of political affairs, the minister of household affairs and the minister of the vassal academy.
These three are the most powerful among the powerful and the most trusted among the most powerful.
Brother Jiu saw him and brought a surprise.
Is this the minister responsible for the prince's initial engagement ceremony?
Decent!
However, the Minister of Lifanyuan...
The Lifanyuan was responsible for the Inner and Outer Mongolia vassals.
Is it too grand for the Minister of Lifanyuan to come forward?
That won't cause the Mongols to misunderstand, right?
Thought it was a national gift...
Seeing several princes come in, Prince Xin and Si Age did not move, but the three courtiers across from them all stood up.
Kangxi looked at his tenth elder brother.
The tenth prince knelt down respectfully.
Kangxi thought about his deceased sisters Xiaozhao and Wenxi, his face became warmer, he raised his hands and shouted.
"We will all be adults from now on, so we must behave well..."
The tenth elder brother looked respectful and bowed to obey the order.
Kangxi looked at Prince Xin again and said: "Starting from tomorrow, I will ask my tenth brother to come over and do some odd jobs for you. I'd like to thank you for your trouble and teach me well..."
King Xinjun had already stood up and received the oral instructions.
It was a surprise to have Brother Jiu nearby.
Before, he was thinking about how to mention this to Khan Amama.
I thought it would be after the New Year at the earliest, but I didn't expect it to be this time.
fine.
Got on a serious errand...
Even if the title of knighthood is postponed, we can’t worry about it if we open the mansion...
After all, this is the palace, so there are all kinds of inconveniences...
Kangxi looked at Brother Ninth again and said, "You said before that the Ministry of Internal Affairs was short of manpower. Please point me to two more people. What do you think of Ma Qi?"
Brother Jiu's face showed surprise: "Master Arima is the Tai Sui of Zhenshan. It is just right to deal with those monsters and monsters in the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"
You must know that although Ma Qi is a close minister of Khan Amma, he is not a lucky minister, but a capable minister.
Before he was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu, he was the Minister of the Ministry of War.
In front of the Secretary of the Ministry of War is the Censor of Zuodu.
Zuodu Yu was the governor of Shanxi before history.
Before becoming the governor of Shanxi Province, he served as an official of the Six Bureaus for more than ten years.
From bottom to top, from the capital to the local areas, he traveled all over.
He also has the title of Shi Guan Zuo.
How can the dirty tricks of the House of Internal Affairs go unnoticed by this capable minister?
Don't be afraid of what he can do, just do whatever you want.
Kangxi looked at Brother Ninth and felt helpless.
What are these descriptions?
Zhenshan Tai Sui?
A monster?
The officials in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are all servants of the royal family. If they are all "cow ghosts and snake gods", what will happen to me?
It's just that now is not the time to teach your son a lesson.
Kangxi turned to Ma Qi and joked: "For the sake of Brother Jiu's thirst for talents, you should first become the director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs..."
Ma Qi was quite self-restrained, his expression remained unchanged, and he didn't have the fierce and unfazed response of "Tai Sui Zhenshan".
"The Emperor has ordered that if Master Jiu doesn't mind, then this servant will go over and help Master Jiu..."
This is the confidence of close ministers.
If you have too many part-time jobs, one more is not too much, and one less is not too much.
The initial ceremony is auspicious.
It's not easy to delay.
Everyone came down from the imperial palace.
The person who came forward from the Zongren Mansion was Prince Zong Zhengxin.
The person who came forward from the Ministry of Internal Affairs was Ma Qi, the newly appointed director-general of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The person who appeared in front of the emperor was a minister in charge of the bodyguard and a minister of internal affairs.
The identity of the two people is more meaningful.
They are all relatives of the country.
The former is the uncle of Empress Yuan.
The latter is the stepbrother and the maternal uncle of the tenth prince.
Three members of the royal family.
The prince's brother, Sibeile.
The prince's brother, the ninth elder brother.
The thirteenth elder brother, the younger brother of the prince.
The accompanying officials from the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Military Academy were waiting outside the palace gate.
As well as the prince's first engagement ceremony given by the emperor, each one was covered with golden brocade and well prepared.
The princes and the adults who accompanied them also took their mounts and prepared the carriages.
After the group left the palace, they got on their horses, got on their cars, and went to the inner palace...

Note: The big fur cloak prepared by Shu Shu in the previous chapter was replaced by an end cap. This is one of the standard prince winter clothes.
