The next day, the group left Mashen Bridge and walked there.
Everyone just saw the eldest princess, and they were all frightened.
Compared with when she arrived in Beijing at the end of September, the eldest princess seemed to be several years older.
Her face was withered, the grooves on her face were deeper, her face was abnormally rosy, but her eyes were cloudy, and she looked like a skeleton.
Before I even got close to her, I could smell the strong scent of sandalwood on her body.
Just don't smell this smell carefully, otherwise you will find other odors in it.
When Brother Jiu saw this, he clenched his hands tightly.
He had met Xinda Li, and Xinda Li also had a strange smell at that time.
This is the breath of dying...
Brother Jiu's heart was heavy.
The eldest princess looked at the elder brothers, her eyes fell on the ninth elder brother, and said lovingly: "Thank you for the face cream and hand cream, elder brother. I feel that my complexion has improved after using it."
Brother Jiu hurriedly said: "Then you can use it more often. This one is for winter, it has grease in it. When spring comes, my grandson will give you a floral-scented one. I want one that smells like roses. It smells delicious."
It feels refreshing when applied.”
The eldest princess was amused and said: "Okay, okay, I will wait for my brother's rose cream..."
It was cold in the morning, and after saying these few words, the eldest princess began to cough.
"Cough...cough..."
Her voice was weak and weak, but her body was stooped.
Kangxi glared at Brother Jiu, stepped forward to hold the eldest princess's arm, and said: "Aunt, get in the car, we have to make time..."
The eldest princess nodded slightly and got into the carriage.
Princess Rongxian followed her into the car and watched closely.
This one is the spare carriage brought by Ninth Prince.
The princes all saw that the eldest princess was in bad condition. The eldest brother stepped forward and patted the ninth brother on the shoulder and said: "Not bad, I can still think of this..."
Brother Jiu whispered: "Why...why does my great-aunt have to go through all the trouble?"
If instead of returning to Beijing, he went directly to Zhezi to ask the imperial doctor to go to Bahrain, would it be a different situation?
Traveling a long way back to Beijing and traveling in bad weather are enough hardships.
The eldest brother thought for a while and said: "My aunt is married far away, so I think about it when I return to Beijing!"
Brother Jiu whispered in a low voice: "Brother, please do your job well, Da Ge Ge is not a small child..."
The eldest brother was stunned.
The ninth elder brother had already muttered: "My younger brother should have a younger elder brother. Who can bear this? Let alone Fu Meng, even if you marry from Beicheng to Nancheng, the younger brother will be far away..."
The eldest brother hummed softly: "Master Qi Xi definitely thinks so too!"
The ninth elder brother glanced at the eldest elder brother and said: "Brother, please don't take advantage of it and behave well..."
The eldest brother said he was confused and said: "What does it have to do with me?"
Brother Jiu said: "If you and the third brother hadn't chosen Zhenghongqi as their residence, then maybe the younger brother and Lao Shi would have gone there. It would be close to the Yue family!"
The eldest brother ignored him.
The thirty-mile journey from Mashen Bridge to the Imperial Mausoleum took nearly two hours because we were traveling slowly.
The group first went to the Temporary Anfeng Hall to salute, drink libations and express their condolences.
Everyone was worried that the eldest princess would be sad and lose her temper, but she was very calm and even had a smile on her face.
It wasn't until she put on the incense that water shone in her eyes, and she couldn't bear to look away.
But her body was trembling slightly and sweat broke out on her forehead.
Kangxi then ordered Princess Rongxian: "Okay, please follow the eldest princess to get back to the car first..."
Before Princess Rongxian agreed, the eldest princess looked at Kangxi and said, "No, I also want to sacrifice Emperor Shizu."
Kangxi frowned and couldn't bear to refuse, so he looked at his ninth elder brother.
Brother Jiu had already asked someone to prepare a shoulder chariot, so he asked the eldest princess to get on the chariot.
Then when the group arrived at Xiaoling, they still saluted, drank libations and expressed condolences.
Kangxi urged again, and the eldest princess nodded this time, but did not ask Princess Rongxian to serve. Instead, she said: "There are still people around me. Now that the second princess is here, she should also fulfill her filial piety."
So, she went back to the carriage surrounded by the chief eunuch and the nuns.
Kangxi took a group of princes and princesses to the Queen's Mausoleum.
This time, the princes and princesses saluted, and then Kangxi offered libations and offered condolences.
Kangxi stood here and wanted to ask Queen Renxiao and Queen Xiaoyi if they knew what the Hesheli family and the Tong family were doing in the palace.
Immediately, he put on a wry smile.
It's just self-deception.
Empress Xiaoyi entered the palace relatively late, in the 15th year of Kangxi's reign. It would be fair to say that she did not know her past affairs.
Where is Queen Renxiao?
Without her as an internal support in the palace, how could the Hesheli family treat the harem as their own backyard?
His face became colder.
The so-called married couple is more like a joke.
If the eldest brother had not been raised outside the palace, he probably would not have been saved.
In that case, the prince would be both the legitimate son and the eldest son, and the Hesheli family would have peace of mind.
Kangxi couldn't help but feel happy.
Fortunately, there was a age difference between Concubine Ping and Empress Renxiao, and they were still in the palace for a long time, so they had no chance to interfere in palace affairs. Otherwise, she would not have dared to think about it.
The ninth elder brother stood behind the eldest elder brother and the third elder brother, looking at the lonely back of the royal father in front of him, he also felt sympathy.
Although there are many concubines in the harem, they are different after all.
The emperor's father was also a widower.
Those who were packing their luggage after going out were all eunuchs from Qianqing Palace.
The thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother also have their own thoughts.
The thirteenth brother thought about the appearance of the eldest princess, and felt sour in his heart, thinking of his biological mother.
If it hadn't been for Ninth Brother's intervention last year, he would have become a motherless little prince.
The fourteenth elder brother's eyes fell on the throne of Queen Xiaoyi.
This one has been gone for eleven years.
When the fourth brother was a teenager?
I was two years old at the time and my fourth brother was twelve?
Brother Fourteen feels weird. Is your wife stupid?
That's the eldest son. Isn't it just right to take over naturally?
As a result, the emperor's father was worried and got a child bride and his fourth sister-in-law...
Maybe it’s not just because of the empress?
Is it because the fourth brother misses Empress Xiaoyi so much that it upsets the empress?
The fourteenth elder brother glanced at the eldest elder brother and the third elder brother. He was not very familiar with the two elder brothers and it was not easy to ask them.
After going to three places, we spent a total of an hour.
Vegetarian meals are also prepared here at the imperial mausoleum duty room.
Everyone simply used it and returned to Beijing.
It's just that this time we came from a different direction. We chose another official road, which is gentler and avoids the mountain roads of Shunyi and Pinggu.
It should be that Kangxi was concerned about the health of the eldest princess and could not bear the bumps in her road.
The fourteenth elder brother pulled the ninth elder brother into the car with him, and then said slyly: "Ninth elder brother, do you remember Tong Enie?"
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "Of course I remember. When Tong Enie passed away, I was already in school, so I've already remembered it."
When Empress Renxiao and Empress Xiaozhao died, Jiu Age was not yet born, but Empress Xiaoyi's funeral was experienced personally.
Empress Xiaoyi died on the tenth day of the seventh month in the twenty-eighth year of Kangxi's reign. She was crowned queen one day before her death, so all the princes and princesses in the harem were married.
Classes in the study room are closed.
"Zigong stayed in Chengqian Palace for five days, and the entire funeral lasted for three months..."
Although he was young at the time, Brother Jiu still remembered clearly: "My fourth brother was so pitiful that he fainted from crying..."
The fourteenth elder brother said: "Then... what kind of person is Tong Enie? How does his character and behavior compare with that of Concubine Hui?"
Brother Jiu glanced at him and said, "Where do you know where to go? I have never dealt with Tong Enie. Shouldn't I ask Fourth Brother?"
The fourteenth elder brother said with a smile: "The fourth brother must have said yes..."
Brother Jiu thought for a while and said: "No one seems to say it is bad, it should be good, otherwise Khan Ama would not be able to trust the princes to be educated by Tong Enie."
Empress Xiaoyi had only one adopted son in name, but in fact she had several elder brothers raised in Jingren Palace at that time. The fourth elder brother, the seventh elder brother, the eighth elder brother, and the fifth elder brother were also sent there for upbringing.
The fourteenth elder brother said: "Then between the fourth brother and our mother-in-law, mother and son are not close, who is right and who is wrong?"
The ninth elder brother did not expect the fourteenth elder brother to think about this, and said: "What are you going to do if you are so clear-cut among family members? Just look good on the surface. Don't mess with it!"
The fourteenth elder brother frowned and said: "I just feel that our empress is not very smart. The fourth brother is the elder prince and the one who is interested in Khan Ama. Shouldn't we be more close to each other?"
Brother Jiu also thought so.
It's just that the fourteenth prince can whisper about Concubine De, but the ninth prince can't.
He said: "Why worry about these things? Just make a decent appearance..."
The fourteenth elder brother glanced at the ninth elder brother and said, "Aren't you envious of the relationship between the fifth brother and the ninth elder brother? It would be great if the fourth brother treated me the same way!"
Brother Jiu hummed softly: "Fifth brother is the treasure of the emperor's grandmother, and also the best of our empress. He is favored, and it is not right to be partial to others..."
Having said this, he looked at Brother Fourteen and said: "You are also favored. You are the most popular person of Concubine De. Most of the grievances that Fourth Brother has in front of Concubine are caused by you. If you feel uneasy,
, I also learned from the fifth brother, how much I love the fourth brother..."
Brother Fourteen was dumbfounded and said: "How can it be calculated like this?"
Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows and said: "Why can't it be calculated like this? The concubine and her two sons love you nine points and love fourth brother one point. It's not fair. It's just that people's hearts are biased. Fourth brother is also older, so it's not fair.
You are a baby, so no one will settle accounts with you..."
"You have thought of it yourself, so let's forget it. Concubine De's mother is old and has a temperament that cannot be shaken easily. Then you can make up for it yourself..."
The fourteenth elder brother quit and said: "That can't be settled like this, isn't it because Khan Ama is looking for compensation and pointed out Fujin to him early?"
I heard that Queen Xiaoyi also left manpower and property for the fourth brother, so that was considered as compensation.
Brother Jiu said: "Then don't bother with this anymore, just leave it in the middle and mix it up. The more you mix it up, the more chaotic it will be. There will be more injustice in the palace..."
He thought of his twelfth elder brother.
If the Fourteenth Prince is so favored and still feels aggrieved, then the Twelfth Prince will be wronged to death.
The fourteenth elder brother wilted and said: "Okay, I won't mention this anymore. I just looked at Tong Enie's statue and thought of it."
Thinking about it, if the fourth brother was really unfilial, Khan Amma would not condone him.
Then it is clear who is right and who is wrong between the empress and the fourth brother and her son...
