Hubu Yamen.

The third elder brother's heart sank when he heard Chang Sui's report.

The person who came forward from the Zongren Mansion was Prince Zong Zhengxin.

You know, this person is not in good health, takes leave all year round, and rarely shows up.

This time, it was to attend the prince's first engagement ceremony.

Suo'etu, Aling'a, Maqi...

They are all important officials of the imperial court.

There are three groomsmen of the prince.

The thirteenth brother is young and not mature, but he is still three people!

This prince has already made his first wedding ceremony, surpassing the prince's elder brother in front of him.

The third elder brother felt uncomfortable. Is this how the son of a noble concubine is treated?

Khan Amma what does this mean?

Why should Zong Zheng come forward?

When the other princes first made arrangements, the clan's mansion did not send anyone specially.

The third elder brother's mind was racing and his inspiration flashed.

There is speculation.

The tenth prince is the next Zong Zheng whom Khan Amma has chosen in his heart?!

It doesn't seem surprising.

Compared with the princes of the clan, Khan Amma definitely hopes that Zongzheng will be in the hands of the royal family.

However, according to the law, Zongrenfu Zongzheng only selects from Prince Heshuo and Prince Duoluo.

Khan Amma is now becoming more and more stingy about the clan title.

Nowadays, except for the uncle and uncle, most of the princes passed down are the queens of the meritorious kings.

If you take your six assistant collars back, they won't be for the tenth prince, right?

The authorities are obsessed with it.

He thought more and could actually justify himself.

Originally, he was thinking of working well as a servant before and after the year, maybe he could save up his merits and earn back his title as the king of the county.

Now, I feel a little worried.

He sent the long attendant down and began to pace.

What's deplorable is that he doesn't have a half-brother, so he doesn't know who to talk to for consultation.

The boss has put off all his errands now, and An Xin is staying at home with Da Fujin.

Forget it, Lao Wu, we are not from the same group.

Seventh Brother...

The third elder brother thought for a while and shook his head.

This is something that oil and salt cannot enter.

There is also a prince's palace behind him, and he will also be a county prince at least in the future.

Last time when we were conducting a siege in the paddock, I spent a long time talking about it, but this lame old man was just pretending to be confused.

Speaking of which, the brothers had a rough time before.

The third elder brother is not a saint, but he keeps them all in mind.

Lao Jiu just misunderstood, and it would be better if we let it go.

Lao Wu is a straight person with a weak brain, so it would be unreasonable to hold a grudge against him.

Where is the tenth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother?

Originally, they had nothing to do with each other, but in the end, the two of them started to disagree with each other, and made small talk in front of Khan Amma...

The only ones left are the twelfth elder brother.

The twelfth brother will be fifteen next year.

Seeing Cheng Ding.

I have to think of a way to win over this younger brother...

This side of the inner building.

The table has been set.

In addition to the rice dumplings given by the imperial kitchen, the rest is the roasted whole lamb prepared in the inner hall, which has been cut up.

Everyone is seated separately, two people per seat.

Sitting on the left side are Prince Xin, four princes, Duke Yunsheng, Suo'etu, and Aling'a. Below them are Ma Qi, Qi Xi, and then two uncles, nephews of the Dong'e clan, and the rest are just a few.

A Langguan from the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Lifan Academy.

On the right side, there are Taiji, princes of various Mongolian tribes.

The ninth elder brother still remembered Shu Shu's instructions. If there were too many people toasting, he would push them towards the fourth elder brother.

result……

What's happening?

Someone went to make a toast at the table.

Prince Xin's seniority status is here, he is still Prince Duoluo, and many people come up to propose a toast.

The fourth elder brother has a straight face, is very serious, and looks like a grown-up man.

Lao Shi, who was sitting at the same table, was the main host today. He was led by his brother-in-law Aba Haitaiji to the opposite table to toast.

The appearance of the old thirteenth brother at the bottom is similar to that of the tenth elder brother, as if they are brothers.

Prince Taiji outside could not tell which of the queens the princes were born to, and most of them mistakenly thought they were brothers of the tenth prince.

He is very affectionate towards Brother Thirteen.

Fortunately, Brother Ninth had already given instructions to replace the jug on Brother Thirteen's right hand with water, otherwise he would have been forced to drink too.

No one is toasting here at Ninth Brother.

He didn't know that the tenth elder brother had already quietly greeted his brother-in-law.

I said that Brother Jiu is taking medicine now, so he doesn’t need wine, so don’t toast.

The brother-in-law was an honest man, and he explained everything table by table long before the banquet started.

On a wonderful festive day, with no grudges or grudges, who would think of forcing the prince's elder brother to drink?

As for the Eight Banners officials here, they are just guests.

Today is not the time to get close to and curry favor with the prince, so naturally no one goes to the first table or the second table to toast.

Brother Ninth was a little embarrassed.

Everyone else was changing glasses, but he was so desolate and aloof, which could not be wiped off his face.

He thought for a moment, picked up the wine bottle, stood up, and went to his father-in-law's table.

Hahaha……

Yesterday I met my mother-in-law and uncle-in-law's mother-in-law, and I was filial. Shu Shu was very happy.

Today I can be filial and filial to my father-in-law, and go back and tell Shu Shu that maybe the two of them can continue to study...

Qi Xi sat at the foot of Ma Qi.

Both of them are first-class officials.

However, Ma Qi is not only the Minister of Household Affairs, one of the Nine Qings, but also the minister of political affairs. He is also at the front when arranging duties in the court on weekdays.

Therefore, Ma Qi is at the top and Qi Xi is at the bottom.

The two were of similar age, both walked in front of the imperial court, and were acquaintances.

The two of them were talking before, and they were talking about the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Qi Xi heard his wife say that there was definite news from the ninth elder brother's house.

He was very concerned.

Knowing that Ma Qi was also the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he asked about the construction of the mansion.

Ma Qi has only been in office for half a day, how did he know this?

There is nothing I can do to help...

Qi Xi was very sorry.

Brother Jiu came over with a wine bottle and saw Ma Qi shaking his head and Qi Xi sighing.

Brother Jiu's eyes immediately widened, and when he looked at Ma Qi, his face became a little ugly.

It seems that he misunderstood and thought that his old father-in-law was being bullied.
