Emperor Kangxi looked at the youngest of his sons present and said, "Where are the people around you? Is this the amount of food you can use for the imperial court?"

"My son wanted to see Huang Ama as soon as possible, so he took Brother Thirteen to come to you in advance after eating something to cushion his stomach." Brother Fourteen said confidently.

Seeing this, the Thirteenth Brother also walked over, "Huang Ama, I also want to see you, so I left with my Fourteenth Brother."

Emperor Kangxi pulled his two sons to him. He understood better than anyone else that he was too busy to take care of the harem on weekdays. The son who was already in court was fine, but he might not be able to remember the names of the younger sons in the harem.

Not to mention getting close to him. Only Concubine De was favored, so Shi Shi and Thirteen, who were raised by Concubine De, could see him often.

"If you want to see Huang Ama from now on, go to Yangxin Hall. If I have time, I will go and see you."

"My son understands." Fourteen and Thirteen nodded hurriedly, and Fourteen touched his stomach, "Huang Ama, my son is hungry."

Gululu.

Emperor Kangxi stared at his two sons and smiled, then turned to look at the Empress Dowager, "Empress Dowager, why don't you give them some food to fill their bellies?" After speaking, he looked at his other sons and said, "What about you? You need to use some."

"No, son, thank you very much, Emperor Ama." The eldest brother stood up and thanked him.

Prince Yinreng shook his head, "Thirty-four is still young and cannot be hungry, so they can just eat. We will use it at the banquet later. I heard that there are all good things at the banquet today."

"You guys! That's all, Queen Mother, just give them both some." Emperor Kangxi's smile deepened a little.

The Empress Dowager nodded, "Come here, give the two little brothers some ready-made food. Our little brothers can't be hungry anymore."

"Thank you, Huang Mama, for your reward, thank you, Huang Mama." Fourteen's chubby body was slightly bent over, and his movements were very naive.

The thirteenth elder brother followed closely behind and thanked him.

Emperor Kangxi sent his two sons away and started talking to the Empress Dowager again. Emperor Kangxi was usually very busy and rarely had the time to talk so calmly. The mother and son chatted happily, speaking in a low voice, just for the two of them.

The eldest brother and the prince at the starting point can hear a little bit.

When it comes to food, there are noodles and various snacks specially made in the small kitchen of the Empress Dowager's Palace. The noodles are just simple Yangchun noodles, and there are many kinds of snacks, including seven or eight kinds. They are all the regular pastries of Cining Palace for dinner.

For guest use, it tastes great.

Thirty-three-four walked up to Wu Lingzhu and Yinzhen, each of whom presented them with a plate of snacks, and then returned to their seats with the noodles and other snacks.

Wu Lingzhu shook his head and smiled, and said to Yinzhen: "The thirteenth and fourteenth brothers even know how to give us cakes to eat."

"Royal horse or something."

Wu Lingzhu was stunned for a moment and then understood. He was talking about the pastries made by people in the Empress Dowager's palace. They belonged to the Empress Dowager. The Thirty-Four were just borrowing flowers to offer to the Buddha, a five-book deal! Think about it, the two little princes

He is also a smart man, and he also knows how to please his brother Yinzhen.

"That's because the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Brothers are intentional. Otherwise, they would all be taken over and you can't say they are wrong."

Yinzhen glanced at Thirty-Four and then looked away without comment.

Wu Lingzhu didn't get frustrated when he didn't get a response, and continued: "The Thirteenth Brother and the Fourteenth Brother are also sensible. I often go to the palace on weekdays, so you should take care of them; especially the Thirteenth Brother, there is no mother in the palace.

He has two younger sisters to protect and take care of, so his life is not easy."

"Yeah." He also takes care of him on weekdays. The younger brothers below all have their own mothers, so Thirteen is an honest man and doesn't have a mother, so he can't help but take care of them more; he won't say these words.

Yes, there is no need to say it.

Wu Lingzhu smiled with satisfaction, "Then if you have the opportunity to ask the thirteenth brother what he lacks, I, as the sister-in-law, can prepare it for him. Although there are provisions in the palace, I am afraid that the provisions are not enough for normal expenses.

It’s all a bit tricky.”

Princes who have not been married are not allowed to enter the court. Therefore, the current fifth prince, seventh prince, and eighth prince have never entered the court to listen to politics. They will be assigned errands after their wedding, and they will move out of the palace in a year or two.

Residence in Beppu.

There are too few examples of princes and elder brothers who have never been on errands. Just like Yinzhen did at the beginning, what can a hundred taels of silver do? It is not even enough to reward the palace people. If you want to eat something good, there is no place, the imperial dining room

People are not easy to order.

It’s difficult! It’s also difficult to be the prince’s elder brother.

Yinzhen nodded, "Yeah."

Wu Lingzhu didn't care at all about Yinzhen's taciturnity. Anyway, she was mentally prepared. After entering the palace, Yinzhen was very reserved, and just like now, he was so taciturn that it was outrageous.

"Sir, you said that the third brother has been married for two years, why hasn't there been any news in the house?" San Fujin didn't seem to be easy to get along with. He didn't say a word to her today, but then

With a sincere face, this woman is very jealous.

"Don't lie, this is not your question."

Wu Lingzhu flattened his mouth and asked no more questions. The third elder brother's house was blocking the way, and Huang Ama couldn't urge him to come to the fourth elder brother's house. The third elder brother and the fourth elder brother were about the same age, and they both had no heirs.

If we really talk about it, the third elder brother is the eldest and has no heirs, so more people are paying attention to him.

The Cining Palace was peaceful and happy, and the whole family was chatting and laughing together. They were talking about insignificant things that would never involve the previous dynasty. The night fell slowly, and when the time came, Emperor Kangxi invited the Queen Mother to go.

Heading to Qianqing Palace, the princes' elder brother and Wu Lingzhu followed closely behind them.

"The Emperor has arrived, the Queen Mother has arrived, all princes and princes, Lord Beile, have arrived, and Sifu Jin has arrived."

Liang Jiugong stretched his voice and chanted.

Those who heard the commotion in the main hall knelt down to say hello, "I say, "Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, and the Queen Mother is a thousand years old."

"I pay my respects to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor; long live the Queen Mother."

"Everyone is seated flatly. For today's palace banquet, please feel free to do so. No need to be restrained." Emperor Kangxi raised his hand and helped the Queen Mother to go to the upper seat and sit down. All the concubines who were due to come were already in the hall, including the old prince Princess.

They are all beside their respective mothers.

"Yes, thank you Your Majesty for your kindness."

The group of people stood up with cheers and waited for Emperor Kangxi to take his seat before taking their seats one after another.

The center of the hall suddenly became sparse. Yinzhen led Wu Lingzhu to the third long table in the first row and sat down at the bottom. The status arrangement was like this, and the ministers all sat down at the back.

Wu Lingzhu was feeling a little emotional when he was sitting there. They used to sit in an inconspicuous position at the back, but now they are all in the front.

"The palace banquet begins."

Following Emperor Kangxi's order, the palace servants waiting outside the main hall brought dishes one after another. After the dishes were served, there were also fine wines and fruits, all of which were tribute fruits, such as bananas, tangerines, oranges, grapefruits, etc. for easy storage.

something.

Wu Lingzhu looked at these green and yellow fruits. Some of them did not look very good; they were not as good as the fruits grown in her house. The bananas on the display were not very bright in color and had no appetite. The oranges were good, red and big.

The orange was too lazy to peel and didn't want to move. The grapefruit had already been cut open, and it was the one with a red heart, which is the red-heart pomelo that later generations loved.
