Chapter 1382 Losing color (rolling and asking for monthly votes)
Third brother also wants to cry.
Brother Jiu was by his side, so he felt embarrassed.
Isn't this when the second sister asked the third brother in private?
Should he go further now?
But moving this place seems to be a guilty conscience, which is also awkward.
The third elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother next to him.
Princess Rongxian followed and looked over.
Brother Jiu hurriedly said: "Third brother, what we guessed just now may not be accurate. Don't turn the second sister into a ditch."
He just thought of his own family and felt that he might have misunderstood before. He felt that if the Ma family's sin was really the fault, he might not be able to blame Concubine Rong.
It is true that Concubine Rong is a daughter of the Ma family, but she has been in the palace for more than forty years and has given birth to six children, so Amma should be aware of the distance between her and her relatives.
The three officials of the Guoluoluo family committed a serious crime, but Khan Amma did not take his anger out on his own mother-in-law.
Whether it is demotion or sealing the palace, they are all aimed at honor concubines.
Then it should be Concubine Rong's own fault.
Princess Rongxian looked at Third Brother and said, "When did it start to go wrong? Please tell me carefully."
Third Brother inexplicably thought of the Northern Tour the year before last year, with his head drooping, he said: "I think it was the year before last year, when I was in the paddock, my cousin from the Ma family gave me a bag of honey twists..."
Then, he said a follow-up, the package of honey twists passed through his hand and was delivered to the elder brother, attracting the hungry bears.
When the third elder brother thought about this, goosebumps suddenly appeared on his back.
At that time, he thought it was an accident, but what if it wasn't an accident?
Mother, did you harm the prince?
Princess Rongxian heard something was wrong. Someone was using the Ma family as guns.
The target is the eldest brother. There is no need to guess the person behind the scenes. There is no one else except Suo'etu.
No wonder Suo'etu was executed and directly murdered the prince. This touched the bottom line of the emperor's father.
As for saying that E Niang harmed the eldest brother, that is nonsense.
As long as E Niang has that kind of strategy and scheming, she will not be the oldest and have the most children, but she will be reduced to the last of the four concubines.
"At the beginning of the year before last, the children of the Ma family, the Wuya family, the Zhang family, and the Wei family were all transferred out of the imperial kitchen. You know this second sister. Last year, due to the accounting department's scandal, the Guangzhou Treasury fraud case was discovered.
, involving the corruption of Yuqing Palace officials, and the accounts of the imperial kitchen in previous years, the Ma family was sent to the Shen Xing Department, and my aunt committed suicide..."
The third elder brother felt his scalp numb as he spoke.
These descendants of relatives were not only moved out of the imperial dining room, but also moved out of the guard camp.
Princess Rongxian's attention was focused on "Yuqing Palace".
Long before she came back, she had also thought about what fault her biological mother had made that made the emperor's father insist on punishing her severely regardless of her and her third brother's dignity.
As for the speculation at that time, two possibilities came to mind. One was that he was quarreling with Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi, and was the one who was at fault for being rude; the other was that he was in conflict with Yuqing Palace and was disrespectful to the prince.
But after listening to Third Brother's words, the former speculation was denied.
Then there is only the second possibility left.
My aunt committed suicide, she was silencing herself, and hiding something is more terrible than death.
There is no better mother-in-law than a daughter.
Princess Rongxian knew the nature of her biological mother, and she had some shortcomings in her behavior. She was a little mean to her daughter-in-law, but there was a reason for that.
The third brother's concubine was born one after another, which makes people have to think more.
As for harming others, E Niang has no such intention.
But rabbits bite people when they are anxious. Since they are interfering in Yuqing Palace affairs, Eniang must have a reason.
Princess Rongxian looked at her third elder brother, what crime did she want to hide from her son?
The third elder brother is not a child, he is already in his twenties.
Since the emperor's father did not tell the third elder brother, it means that the third elder brother knew that it would be harmful rather than helpful.
Princess Rongxian stopped asking and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't delay, let's go on our way first!"
We are still more than thirty miles away from Changchun Garden, and we have to walk for another hour.
Princess Rongxian got on the carriage and ordered Chang Shi to continue setting off.
The third elder brother followed and said: "Second sister, would you like my brother to talk to you?"
Princess Rongxian waved her hand and said, "Let's talk tomorrow."
She still planned to see the emperor's father first and listen to his words...
The third elder brother felt that Princess Rongxian's reaction was not quite right, but he couldn't think of anything wrong. He saw the ninth elder brother getting into the carriage and hurriedly followed him.
The ninth elder brother was originally sitting alone, but when he saw the third elder brother coming in, he reluctantly gave up his seat.
The team that came to greet the princess turned around and led the way.
"Ninth brother, did you see the second sister's reaction? Did she guess it and didn't want to tell me?" asked the third elder brother.
The ninth elder brother turned his head, looked at the third elder brother and said puzzledly: "Third elder brother, what are you worried about? The third elder brother must be informed about the siblings and concubines, and they will not be kept secret!"
The third elder brother frowned and said, "But the second sister looked at me as if I were a fool. Could it be that she was worried that I would be lax and know something would be revealed?"
Brother Jiu said: "You are overthinking it. Second sister is the one who is confused. She probably doesn't know because you don't know, so she didn't continue to ask. Anyway, we are in the capital today. If we go back and ask in front of the emperor, we should know the reason."
The third elder brother shook his head and said: "There is no such reason. If Khan Ama was willing to say it, didn't he tell me that morning? If he didn't tell me, then he probably wouldn't tell the second sister either."
Brother Jiu sneered and said: "Third brother, what you are saying is somewhat ignorant of yourself? The second sister is the eldest daughter. The precious daughter raised by Khan Amma personally, is it comparable to your one-eighteenth son?"
As for the prince, here he can still get the love of his father.
Among the princesses, only the ones at the top were cherished, while the princesses behind them were silent in the palace.
Among the princesses who were cherished, Princess Rongxian was the first.
The third elder brother almost understood what the ninth elder brother meant. He thought for a while and did not refute, but said: "When my mother-in-law was in trouble, the second elder sister submitted three letters asking for return to the court. The first two letters were refuted, but the third letter was rejected."
That's right, Khan Ama is planning to tell the second sister the inside story..."
At this point, he was very frustrated.
It's just that the second sister is very strict and may not tell herself.
The ninth elder brother saw that the third elder brother was in a low mood and could understand it.
If it were him, if Concubine Yi had a problem, he would investigate it to the end.
It's just that the third elder brother is different from me. He has an elder brother above him and a younger brother below him.
The third elder brother is the only grown-up son of Concubine Rong.
Brother Jiu advised: "If nothing else, Third Brother must remember that you are my mother-in-law's support. My mother-in-law has someone to take care of her right now, all because she has Third Brother, so you must investigate the matter of my mother-in-law.
You should also think twice before acting, and don’t get yourself involved, as Khan Ammar cannot bear his son’s disobedience.”
The third elder brother glanced at him and sighed: "I never expected that one day you, the most unstable person, would actually advise me to be steady..."
Brother Jiu said proudly: "When I was young, I could only be happy and angry as I pleased, but now I have a plan in mind for everything I do and can do it with ease..."

Qingxi Bookstore.
At noon, the dining table was set, but Kangxi had no appetite.
He glanced at the clock and estimated the distance and time from Changping to Haidian.
Given Princess Rongxian's temperament, she will not stop directly when she arrives in Changping at noon today, but will go directly to Haidian.
In that case, it will arrive in the afternoon.
Kangxi was a little hesitant, whether to see her directly today or to send a message to the princess to go to the princess's courtyard to rest first.
Regarding the treatment of Rong's concubine, he boasted that he had considered his old love and the dignity of his two children and treated her very lightly.
Otherwise, as long as Concubine Rong's true crime is revealed, Concubine Rong will not only be dethroned, but her life may not be saved.
But when he really had to face his daughter, when he was about to tell the truth, he felt uneasy again.
Does Princess Rongxian think he is heartless?
Concubine Rong gave birth to six children for him and was the first concubine to accompany him.
Liang Jiugong was standing by, looking at the cold meal, not knowing whether to persuade him or not.
Kangxi had already given instructions: "Send a message to the imperial kitchen to prepare leek and egg dumplings, and then use Dongzi vegetables to make a few dishes."
Liang Jiugong agreed and went down to deliver the message.
Kangxi emphasized health care, so even though he had no appetite, he soaked half a bowl of rice in old duck soup and ate it, then asked people to clear the dining table.
Liang Jiugong also sent a message back.
Kangxi asked: "Is the Ministry of Internal Affairs taking care of what my brother has done?"
Liang Jiugong said: "I heard that Master Jiu ordered us to clean up. If the Empress Dowager can leave the princess to talk and rest easily, she will be at Beisan Institute."
Kangxi added: "Go back and transfer 40% of the imperial regulations..."
Liang Jiugong agreed.
Outside Changchun Garden, Princess Rongxian's carriage convoy also arrived.
She was already married to a princess from a foreign vassal, and her Majesty had to ask for permission before seeing her.
The ninth elder brother and the third elder brother went into the garden to ask for the order.
Brother Jiu remembered Princess Kejing's return to the court and drove to Changchun Garden first to see her, but Khan Ama did not see her.
Will Khan Amma see you today?
Brother Jiu walked outside Qingxi Bookstore and looked down at his hands.
Princess Rongxian has long fingers.
There were two people on the errand to greet the princess today. The third elder brother was the eldest. The ninth elder brother kept silent and followed the third elder brother.
The third elder brother had listened to the ninth elder brother's advice, and his mood was much more stable. After saying goodbye, he told the story of the princess waiting in her car outside the garden.
Kangxi immediately looked at Liang Jiugong and said: "Welcome the princess in on my behalf..."
Liang Jiugong responded.
Kangxi said to Wei Zhu again: "Ask someone to send a message to the dining room, and the dining table will be served in two quarters of an hour. The princess arrives at this time, so she probably hasn't had lunch yet."
Although he had expected this, Brother Jiu still felt a little uncomfortable.
They are both princesses, but they are completely different.
Compared with Princess Rongxian and Princess Wenxian, Princess Kejing became a little pitiful.
The third elder brother did not expect that the second sister would be so decent, and it seemed that they would all benefit from it.
It is also honorable to give food to the emperor.
The third elder brother breathed a sigh of relief. Khan Ama valued the second sister so much that he would not vent his anger on the second sister.
At this time, Kangxi looked at his two sons who were struggling, waved his hands and said: "Okay, you have worked hard for a long time, kneel down and pay tribute!"
Brother Ninth: "..."
Third Brother: "..."
Seeing that they were motionless, Kangxi asked, "Is there anything else you want to report?"
The third elder brother shook his head and said: "No, my son will step back now."
Brother Jiu followed him out and glanced at Jiang Shan under the window from the corner of his eye.
This beloved son has faded...
