The eldest brother looked at his half-brother with a smile and felt a little emotional in his heart. Ever since the fifth brother's mother-in-law entered the palace, his mother-in-law had fallen out of favor, and he was not favored by her because of her mother-in-law.
Emperor Ama dotes on you.
Over the years, he has been working hard to win Huang Ama's favor, but unfortunately, Huang Ama has never looked at him.
On the contrary, the second brother, who is now the Crown Prince, is the most favored by Emperor Ama, while he, the eldest son, is left out in the cold.
Although the prince showed great respect to his eldest brother on the surface, he actually looked down on him in his heart.
He could tolerate all these, but he could not tolerate his second brother's bullying of E Niang. If the Crown Prince had not tried to dissuade him, his E Niang Hui Fei might have become the queen long ago.
The eldest brother thought to himself and made a decision in his heart. At the banquet later, he must compete with the prince to see who has the best drinking capacity.
After thinking about it, the eldest brother glanced at Yiqi, and then asked: "Fifth brother, today is your birthday, and the eldest brother has nothing to give you. He asked the government to bring some good horses over to give you a congratulatory gift.
Bar!"
As soon as the eldest brother finished speaking, the third elder brother beside him immediately took over and joked with a smile: "Fifth brother, you are really lucky. I usually ask the eldest brother to give me a good horse, but the eldest brother is reluctant to part with it. Today
I actually made an exception and wanted to give it to you?"
Hearing this, the eldest brother rolled his eyes at the third brother and said, "Third brother, don't talk nonsense! When did you ask me for horses?"
The third elder brother curled his lips and was about to reply when the servants of Wubeile Mansion announced, "The prince has arrived!"
When everyone heard the sound, they all stood up and knelt down, "My dear servant, please give your regards to the Crown Prince. May the Crown Prince be blessed!"
The prince waved his hand to signal everyone to excuse themselves, "Everyone, please stand up!"
Then he glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "I came a little late today and kept you waiting for a long time."
"What are you talking about, Prince? It's my honor for you, Prince, to come to my brother's birthday banquet!" Yinqi said quickly.
"Haha, what did fifth brother say? There is no need to be polite between us brothers!" After saying that, the prince looked at the eunuch beside him and said, "Go and bring up the gift I brought here!"
"yes!"
The eunuch bowed and left. After a while, several young eunuchs came in carrying several wooden boxes.
Yinqi asked doubtfully: "Prince, my brother's birthday banquet, why did the prince bring so many gifts?"
The prince smiled and explained, "Today is your birthday! I specially ordered someone to prepare something as a congratulatory gift for you."
With that said, the prince opened the box and cage himself. Every item in the box and cage was extremely exquisite. When Yinqi saw this, he was even more surprised. He did not expect that the prince would treat him so kindly.
The eldest brother on the side looked at the 'rich gift' sent by the prince and couldn't help but sneer, "The prince is really generous. I'm afraid these gifts won't be enough for three to five years, right?"
The prince paid no attention to the eldest brother, and the other brothers had different expressions on their faces when they heard this.
"Prince, these gifts are too valuable." They were so valuable that Yinqi did not dare to accept them. He occasionally heard from the eunuchs in the palace about the matter between the prince and Suo'etu. If these items were used by the prince to make money,
If he gets it, he will never dare to accept it.
The prince smiled and said: "What are you talking about? You are my younger brother, and these are what you should do."
The prince smiled and patted Yinqi on the shoulder. The fifth brother is the son of the beloved concubine Yi Fei, and is also the empress dowager's most beloved grandson. Although he is the prince, he must 'take care of' this fifth brother.
.
Yinqi originally wanted to refuse, but the prince insisted on it, so he had to accept it first.
"Okay, today is my fifth brother's birthday. Please stop standing and sit down." The prince ordered.
After the prince sat down, everyone sat down as instructed.
After a while, the maids came over with tea.
"Prince, please try it. This is the best Longjing. I wonder if the prince likes it." Yinqi glanced at the prince and asked cautiously.
The prince picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The aroma of tea was fragrant and the rich taste was refreshing. It was really a good tea. It seemed to be purer than the Longjing tea in the palace. He couldn't help but admire, "This tea is really good!"
Hearing this, Yinqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "As long as the prince likes it!"
After saying that, he glanced at the other elder brothers and said, "Brothers and brothers, please don't be formal, just treat yourself as if you are in your own mansion."
As soon as Yinqi finished speaking, one brother who was slightly fat, one who was honest, one who was handsome, and one who was feminine suddenly walked in. The four of them saluted the princes in the room, "My dear brother, here you go."
Your Majesty, please say hello, and please give my best wishes to all my brothers!"
Yinqi was stunned for a moment, then realized that the ninth, tenth, thirteenth, and fourteenth brothers were also here.
I told my direct descendant Fujin that the birthday party should be simpler, but now it seems to be more grand.
"Ninth brother, tenth brother, thirteenth brother, fourteenth brother, you are here too!" Yinqi stood up with a smile, came and came, and almost sat down!
Several people sat down respectively. The prince looked at them with a smile and said, "Today is my fifth brother's birthday. Let's all have fun and relax."
When Yinqi saw what the prince said, he agreed.
After everyone exchanged some pleasantries, Butler Yan came in respectfully and saluted all the elder brothers, "Master Beile, my direct descendant Fujin just sent someone over to announce that it's time to have dinner."
The princes then walked grandly from Yinqi's study to the main hall of Wubeile Mansion.
A group of people surrounded the prince and walked forward and entered the main hall. When Guar Jiayinan saw the princes coming, he immediately led the female family members in the palace to greet them.
Guar Jia Yinan wore a pink flag embroidered with orchids, which was studded with gems, agates, emeralds, etc., and had gold hairpins, silver hairpins, pearls, jade hairpins, etc. on her head, making her look graceful and luxurious.
"Wu Fujin has extraordinary temperament, fifth brother, you are so lucky!" The prince looked at Guar Jia Yinan and praised him heartily.
Hearing this, Guar Jia Yinan looked shy and said, "The prince is so complimentary."
Yinzhen listened to their conversation and smiled lightly. He looked at Wanyue and saw a bit of sadness in her eyebrows. He couldn't help but feel tight in his heart. These women were always jealous, just like the women in his house.
Same.
Thinking of the women in the house, Yinzhen felt a headache. He coughed slightly and changed the subject, "Prince, since it is the birthday of the fifth brother, we should also toast the birthday boy with a few glasses of wine."
"Yes, yes! It's my fifth brother's birthday, and we must have a great time!" Hearing this, the prince agreed with a smile.
The crown prince invited all the princes to sit down and drink. Yinqi was pulled to the table. All the princes raised their glasses and toasted to Yinqi, "Fifth brother (fifth brother), this is your birthday, we have to get you drunk.
Okay, otherwise, wouldn’t it be a waste of good wine?”
Yinqi smiled and raised his wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, "Okay, since you are so kind to me, brothers and sisters, I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."
"Okay! Fifth brother is really happy!" When the other princes saw Yinqi like this, they all applauded, and then each toasted Yinqi a glass of wine.
For a time, people were drinking and drinking, the aroma of wine filled the air, and it was very lively.
After Yinqi drank a few drinks, he felt a little dizzy, but he didn't show it and kept smiling.
