Chapter 1377 Strong filial piety (rolling to ask for monthly votes)
Seeing the eighth prince's reaction, the prince frowned.
It's just that he knows this is what it means, but it's hard to say it so straightforwardly.
Men care about this.
The eighth prince is not of Prince Zhuang's age, so he is unwilling to admit defeat.
The prince rubbed his brow and said: "You misunderstood. That's not what I meant. It's because Hongxi is old. Now, the people detained in Yuqing Palace are all useless. I just want to ask you to teach me. Don't worry, in the future
If you add an elder brother, a county prince can still handle it."
Eighth Prince: "..."
The anger on his face has not disappeared, but he has already considered it in his heart.
The promise made to his son, the king, must be fulfilled by the prince.
Even if it is given to the county prince, the second son of the prince's palace, there is a huge difference from the prince directly opening the palace.
If he really wanted to agree to adopt Hongxi, he would give away all of his princely wealth.
I don't want to suffer this loss.
As for Khan Amma, he had just made up for his previous mistakes. He had just eased the relationship between father and son, and then took over Hongxi, whom Khan Amma had despised. That was simply an act of rebellion.
The eighth prince had a choice, his shoulders were slumped, and he lowered his eyes and said: "My brother is not capable enough, and I really can't help the prince. He is about to go to the Ministry of Punishment, so I won't disturb you..."
After that, he turned around and strode away without waiting for the prince's reaction.
The prince sat behind a few desks, looking at the eighth prince's back with a knife in his eyes.
With his sweet talk and sword in his belly, what does he mean by being a prince?
You just want to use him, but you rub oil on the soles of your feet when you need help. What the hell?
At this moment, the eighth elder brother was on the prince's dislike list, second only to the eldest elder brother and the third elder brother, and tied for third place with the fourteenth elder brother.
Brother Eight noticed the piercing gaze and quickened his pace even more.
He clenched his fists and wished he could slap himself twice.
The prince is rude and is not disrespectful when he is close!
The eighth elder brother clenched his fists with a gloomy look on his face. Compared with the ruthless and unjust prince, he would rather the eldest elder brother be in power!
He is the adopted son of Concubine Hui, and the person closest to the eldest brother among the princes.
If the eldest brother ascends to the throne, he will be the safest prince.
Why is he so obsessed with thinking that the prince can be attached to him?!
The prince only ranked the eighth prince at third place on the dislike list, but the eighth prince had already ranked the prince at the first place on the dislike list.
Because the eighth prince knew that since the prince had this idea, he was creating future troubles.
If he doesn't have a son in a few years, and the prince begs in front of the emperor, this plan will come true.
As for the promise of another county prince, it was just empty talk.
If he really adopts Hongxi, for Hongxi's benefit, he may not have a son in the future. Even if he gives birth to a son, he may not be able to raise him.
The eighth prince was angry.
Does the prince dare to be so contemptuous and scheming towards other princes and elder brothers?
The prince did not dare, because he bullied the younger ones as well as the older ones, and the concubines in the harem would not watch.
Only she and E Niang had no divine favor and no opportunity to gossip about the prince in front of the emperor, so the prince dared to be so unscrupulous.
It's March in spring, and the breeze is gentle.
But Brother Eight felt cold in his heart...
There are eyes everywhere in the palace. The eighth prince sent a pot of bamboo to Yuqing Palace and then came out in a daze, which naturally aroused people's discussions and various speculations.
Even the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs heard the news.
Jin Yiren was shocked.
You know, before he recommended the eighth prince's relatives, he still followed the prince's instructions.
This is fine, why are the two of you so angry?
Jin Yiren seemed to have some realization when he thought about Brother Jiu's attack on him.
This is the royal elder brother. He can be happy or angry as he pleases, unpredictable, and has no respect for face at all.
If this was in Jiangnan, he would have been tricked by someone else long ago.
The ninth prince didn't give himself any dignity, and would change his attitude whenever he was dissatisfied. The prince didn't give the eighth prince dignity, so it was not unusual for him to change his attitude.
Ninth Brother is here to take pleasure in his misfortune.
He no longer had any feelings for the eighth prince, he was just an ordinary brother; but he could not stand the fact that the eighth prince was close to Yuqing Palace.
Between the prince and the eldest brother, he would not favor anyone, nor would he take sides.
But there are still feelings of distance and distance in my heart.
Bystanders know better.
The eighth elder brother is obviously the support given by Khan Amma to the eldest elder brother. It is unjust to curry favor with Yuqing Palace in this way.
He muttered to the twelfth elder brother: "Is it because the prince is angry that he didn't give too much? He only gave one pot, not two pots? Brother Ba is also very brave. Believe it or not, people outside are linking Guanyin Bamboo to Zi Si.
Now that we are together, he is no longer afraid of the consequences. How pitiful it would be to give the heir's luck to Yuqing Palace and lose his own luck!"
The twelfth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother and felt that it was a bit silly to put bamboo and children together.
However, first the Tenth Prince and his wife went to Hongluo Temple, and now the Seventh Prince and his wife are going to Hongluo Temple. It is hard for the Twelfth Prince to say that the bamboo is not good.
Heirs...
He had no expectations in his heart.
He was an unremarkable prince, and the children he gave birth to were designated as unremarkable grandsons and granddaughters.
But Grandma Su Ma mentioned that the fifth school will be added soon.
He asked: "Where's the Guanyin Bamboo that Brother Ninth mentioned before?"
"Huh?"
The ninth elder brother looked at the twelfth elder brother and asked curiously: "Why do you think of asking this? Even if it is a gift, it will be your wedding. It depends on the date of your wedding..."
When he mentioned this, he raised his chin and said, "Do you want to rush in early? Then beg me carefully. When the time comes, I will ask Qin Tian to supervise the selection of the date. I will let them choose the one closest to me..."
Brother Twelve hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, no, I'm just asking casually, don't bother Brother Ninth..."
Gege lives in the backyard, but Fujin wants to live in the main courtyard.
None of the beautiful ladies who stayed in the palace were too young, which made the twelfth prince a little regretful.
If there is a beautiful girl who is fourteen years old, even if the marriage is planned, the wedding will be postponed to next year or the year after.
Looking at it now, it’s probably this year, and the end of the year is better than the middle of the year.
Brother Jiu counted the bamboos he was going to give away with his fingers: "When the time comes, big brother will have two pots, you will have two pots, Thirteen will have two pots, and the teacher will have two pots..."
Speaking of this, he thought of Prince Kang and Prince Shuncheng.
The former looked at himself secretly on "Zhuzhou", obviously his evil intentions were not dead; the latter was Madam Uncle's nephew, and he reciprocated the favor, so he should take more care of Prince Shuncheng.
These two are also getting married this year, so they should prepare a copy.
The brothers and nephews of this clan are all given away, but the cousins from Prince Yu’s Palace and Prince Gong’s Palace are not sent?
When I treat guests and distribute posts, both families show respect, and I should also show respect to my elders.
Fu Song and Zhu Liang will probably be reserved for next year as well.
This is really tight...
Seeing that the ninth elder brother stopped mid-sentence and seemed to have a dilemma on his face, the twelfth elder brother was very considerate and said: "If you are not rich, just forget about my younger brother's share."
Brother Jiu hurriedly said "bah bah bah" several times and said: "Children's words are unbridled, children's words are unbridled!"
Brother Twelve: "..."
You are seventeen, are you still a child?
After the ninth elder brother finished reciting, he glared at the twelfth elder brother and said: "I just said that it is unlucky to send the eighth elder brother away. If you just recite this, what if the Guanyin who sends the child hears it?"
The twelfth elder brother sneered and really wanted to ask, how come the ninth elder brother is not afraid of making excuses when he sends bamboos everywhere?
Thinking of this, he was really worried.
Since he was a child, he had been exposed to the influence of Grandma Su Ma, and he still had some faith in the cause and effect of good and evil.
He hesitated whether to remind him, but he swallowed his words when he thought that the fifth elder brother's big delivery would not have any bad consequences ahead...
*
March has entered, and the Longevity Festival is getting closer.
In Shu Shu's Silver Building, this year's longevity gift has also been prepared.
Before, Ninth Brother gave away Jinshan and Jin Ruyi, but this year it became a bonsai.
A bucket of ginger mountain.
The outer barrel is made of red sandalwood, and the ginger in the middle is pure gold.
They are not small, about two feet tall, and are the kind that are placed in corners or on tables in rooms.
Four hundred and eighty taels of gold were used.
On the fifth day of March, the bonsai was put in a brocade box and carried into the prince's mansion.
Shu Shu looked at it and couldn't move his eyes away.
It’s golden, who doesn’t love it?
The color of gold is shiny and a bit frivolous, but it is much neutralized by the decoration of red sandalwood flower pots.
Placed there, it is eye-catching and low-key.
Brother Jiu couldn't put it down when he saw it. He pointed his thumb at Shu Shu and said: "That's great. I think this is more popular with Khan Ama than Jin Ruyi and Jinshan..."
The ginger mountain made of gold is stable and evergreen.
If there were thousands of pure gold in future generations, Shu Shu wouldn't be able to ask others to do this.
Because Thousand Pure Gold is too soft, it will be a pit when bumped.
The best gold smelted now has a purity of 985, that is, 985 parts of gold, 15 parts of copper and other metals out of a thousand parts.
However, there is very little gold like that, and they are all artifacts made in-house or kept in the palace.
Most of the gold sold in silver houses on the market is 90% gold.
The hardness of 90% gold is very reliable and the color is still golden.
Shu Shu said: "Xiaotangshan Palace is a gift this year. Let me think about what to give next year."
This Jiangshan was a private act of filial piety, but the overt birthday gift was the Xiaotangshan Palace given to him by the prince and other princes.
Brother Jiu, however, looked confident and said: "I told Cao Yueying that he would ask Cao Quan for the paintings of Khan Ama during his southern tour, and then he would weave the carpets at the wool farm..."
As a palace guard, Cao Quan also accompanied the Hu on the southern tour the year before last. However, the ninth elder brother heard from Cao Shun that his mother was not doing his job and drew many pictures of the southern tour.
Southern tour...
Shu Shu felt that compared with riding a carriage, riding a boat was the most comfortable.
She whispered to Brother Jiu: "Sir, are there cultivation palaces everywhere in Jiangnan?"
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "What's wrong with this? The officials and people in Jiangnan are looking forward to Khan Amma's next southern tour..."
The Holy Spirit made a tour to the south, the Jiangnan rural examination quota was increased, and local tax exemptions were reduced, all of which were favored places.
However, the businessman suffered a loss at this time and became the target of blackmail.
In the name of building a palace to welcome the Holy Emperor, the local government took a lot of money from merchants.
Shu Shu said: "Then this time interval should not be too long. I will work hard in the second half of the year and don't let the emperor find fault. When I go back to visit the south, I might still be able to benefit from it."
Brother Ninth is also thinking about Jiangnan, and the couple is still struggling with the matter of raising pearls.
They wanted to take a trip to Taihu Lake. When they were in Suzhou before, they had been to the edge of Taihu Lake.
