Chapter 1408: Giving dignity (wowling and asking for monthly votes)
Seeing that the twelfth elder brother was cautious, the Queen Mother said to the ninth elder brother: "Take your two younger brothers to eat ahead, we will eat ours..."
Seeing Wu Fujin's lowered eyebrows, Brother Ninth seemed to feel uncomfortable, so he stood up and said, "The Imperial Grandmother is becoming more and more partial. She only has eyes for her granddaughter and granddaughter-in-law!"
The Queen Mother nodded and said: "You're right, what's so good about a brat is that you'll be disgusted when you grow up."
Brother Jiu sighed and said, "Show it to your grandson. Grandmother, you like the new and hate the old. If you have a great-grandson, it's hard to choose a grandson."
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "That's not what it should be. How nice are you little darlings..."
Brother Jiu honestly admitted that he was not good, and said to Wu Fujin and Jiu Gege: "Then Sister-in-law Wu and Xiaojiu should accompany the imperial grandmother, let's go to the front to eat..."
Both Wufujin and Jiugege are rising.
The ninth elder brother brought the tenth elder brother and the twelfth elder brother out, but did not go to the front yard immediately.
After Shu Shu and Shi Fujin came back from the backyard and said hello, the three of them went forward.
When they arrived at the front yard, the ninth elder brother muttered to the tenth elder brother: "What's going on? The imperial grandmother didn't reward me..."
As he said that, he guessed: "Are you too worried about Fifth Brother's return to the city to worry about anything else?"
The tenth elder brother said: "The Queen Mother's rewards are as she pleases. They have never been touched by rain or dew."
This is Lao Shang Ninth Sister, who gave Ninth Brother the illusion that the Queen Mother likes to reward things.
If that were to happen, how much would be the reward for having so many grandchildren?
There is also a relationship between people.
The twelfth elder brother's expression calmed down, and he lost his formality. He said to the ninth elder brother, "Ninth elder brother, you shouldn't worry about your elders' things."
If you encounter someone, you should say hello, don't think too much.
Brother Ninth said: "Why can't we worry about it anymore? We are all grandsons. What's the matter with getting a few rewards? If we don't take advantage of it, it will all be the fault of Fifth Brother and Xiaojiu..."
The twelfth elder brother said: "That is also because the fifth brother and the ninth sister are filial."
Brother Jiu looked at him and said, "You talk a lot today."
Brother Twelve hesitated for a moment, then said truthfully: "I just don't think your idea, Brother Ninth, is quite right."
Looking at the poor relatives in the story books who go to rich families to enjoy the autumn breeze, they always want to take advantage.
Brother Jiu gritted his teeth and said, "What's wrong? That's my own grandmother, not someone else. I'm not taking advantage of someone else, but I'm not taking it!"
The twelfth elder brother really wants to ask, since the ninth brother doesn’t feel that he is taking advantage and everything belongs to the fifth brother and the ninth sister, why do he still think about equalizing the wealth and the poor?
Fifth Brother and Ninth Sister are not outsiders, so they are not afraid of any rift.
Brother Ten saw his ignorance, smiled, and said: "Brother Five and Sister Ninth won't care about this, and the Queen Mother won't care about it either."
The old man is lonely, and the children and grandchildren are vying for favor, which is just to amuse the bored son.
The twelfth elder brother nodded, not knowing whether he believed it or not.
Anyway, he just finds it troublesome, so there is no need for it.
Seeing that he did not enter Yanjin, the ninth elder brother was too lazy to talk nonsense and said to the tenth elder brother: "When the Holy Spirit sets off tomorrow, let's go to Haidian Zhuangzi or go fishing in Fuhai..."
Brother No. 10 nodded and said, "Okay, it's hot at noon, but it's still cool in the morning and evening. It's good to go hiking."
Brother Jiu shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'm wheezing and covered in stinky sweat."
He felt that there were only two mountains that he could conquer, one was Jingshan Mountain and the other was Baiwang Mountain.
Baiwang Mountain is his upper limit. Like the Xishan Mountain that Brother Ten and the others usually climb, it takes an hour and a half to go up the mountain. That's not mountain climbing, it's life-threatening...

In the west room of the main room, the banquet was laid out.
In addition to the rice platters, spring cake platters and roasted meats that Shu Shu named, there are also several sweet dishes such as sweet and sour pork loin, shredded milk tofu, red dates and rice cakes, roasted pigeons, roasted pork belly, grilled sausages and several large meat dishes.
, and there are two additional side dishes, tiger cabbage and red oil jelly.
The sweet ones are Jiu Gege’s favorite, and the barbecue series are Shi Fujin’s favorite.
As for the spring cake plate and steamed rice platter, these are the Queen Mother's favorites.
The Queen Mother sat in the middle, with nine grids, Shu Shu on the left hand, Wu Fu Jin and Ten Fu Jin on the right hand.
The Queen Mother saw that the table was filled with a lot of rich oil and red sauce, and she was very satisfied.
She didn't want to go out to eat and have a half-baked meal.
"Where's the tiger dish?"
The Queen Mother still remembers the name of this dish and is looking forward to it.
But look, none of the dishes have anything to do with tiger.
Shi Fujin often eats at Shu Shu's place. He pointed to the plate of all-green side dishes in front of the Queen Mother and said: "Grandma, this is it. Tiger dishes are delicious, especially when eaten with roasted pork belly..."
The Queen Mother looked at it carefully and said: "Isn't this just a side dish? Coriander, green onions, cucumbers... and some other vegetables, shredded and mixed together..."
Wu Fujin took clean chopsticks and served the Queen Mother with dishes.
The Queen Mother ate it, and it was spicy and fragrant.
"tasty……"
The Queen Mother smiled happily after eating and said: "This tastes good..."
Shu Shu said: "My granddaughter-in-law asked someone to copy the recipe for Grandma Bai. This is very simple. It is just the three things you mentioned, add chili peppers, cut them all into shreds, and only add soy sauce and sesame oil for seasoning. The taste is enough...
"
The Queen Mother nodded, her eyes glued to the rice bowl again.
In addition to cabbage leaves and shredded green onions, there are also beef sauce, eggplant puree, and egg sauce for seasoning. There are also two kinds of rice, one is sticky sorghum, and the other is rice...

Qingxi Bookstore.
The dining table is also set.
Previously, Kangxi left four sons to talk and gave them seats.
Then, he taught me everything from how to be on duty in the south study room, to how to organize news every day, how to deliver official documents, and how to ask An Zhezi for the last few days.
The third elder brother and the eighth elder brother both had their ears straight, listened carefully and memorized it by heart.
Brother Seventh couldn't see anything.
Fifth brother, my butt feels like there are needles growing out of it, and it feels uncomfortable to sit there.
His eyes were wide open for a while, then he was attracted by the chirping of frogs and insects outside, and then he secretly glanced at the clock on the Baibao Pavilion.
Kangxi saw it in his eyes and wanted to hit him.
But he also knows that the fifth elder brother's problem of being unable to sit still has been present since he was a child.
It was like this when I was studying in the study room when I was a child, and my mind kept wandering.
Kangxi reprimanded him twice, but it didn't work, so he left it alone.
only……
Yifei's status is here, and the fifth prince's ranking is high, so she can't be idle all the time.
Among the mother and son of Yi Kun Palace, there must always be someone in front.
Also, if the fifth elder brother is not carried out, the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother must be carried out.
The ninth elder brother did not enter the court, so it was the tenth elder brother's turn. Finally, the nobles and nobles were now more peaceful, and Kangxi did not want to cause more trouble.
He lowered his eyes and felt that his temper was getting better and better.
He stopped talking and the room became quiet.
The third elder brother and the eighth elder brother are still thinking about the teachings just now.
The fifth elder brother's stomach was already filled with bowel sounds.
"Guluuluulu..."
Everyone looked at the fifth elder brother.
The fifth elder brother touched his belly and felt a little distressed for himself.
Seeing Kangxi looking over, he didn't feel guilty and just said: "Khan Ama, it's dinner time..."
So, is it time to break up?
Let’s talk about it after dinner.
Kangxi glanced at the clock, it was two quarters past noon.
He said to Liang Jiugong: "Pass the meal and cook a few bowls of noodles for my brothers."
Noodles are the fastest.
I didn't think about leaving food in advance, so it was too late to prepare the kitchen.
Liang Jiugong agreed and went down to deliver the message.
The fifth elder brother was a little sad. It was a hot day and he didn’t want to eat noodles.
He looked at his third elder brother.
The third elder brother is beautiful.
No matter what you eat when you leave a meal before the emperor, it is honorable.
These brothers, like the elder brother before them, had been taught by the imperial father.
Taken individually, he can't compare to the prince, nor can he compare to the eldest brother, but what about all of them together?
The third elder brother felt that he was starting to be down-to-earth and aware of current affairs and became a hero.
In the early years, he was still unconvinced, thinking that he was born later than his eldest brother, and that no prince would be reincarnated. His literary and military skills were no less than those of the two, and he felt a little self-pity.
Now that I think about it, it's quite boring.
It’s better not to think about the past and think more about the future.
Whether he will grow up as Baylor, or become Prince Heshuo like Prince Yu and Prince Gong, it all depends on the emperor's father...
The seventh elder brother lowered his head and thought of the twelfth elder brother who had just made up the number in the brothers' schedule.
I decided to go back to Beifu Institute with Brother Jiu.
If the emperor's father didn't leave any food, he could follow his fifth brother to the North Fifth House to get some food.
Eighth Prince here also looks honest, but he is thinking about "dried noodles".
As a tribute to the Dragon Boat Festival, the emperor went to the harem to reward seven people.
In the concubine position, there is no Concubine Xianfu and Concubine Tong, and in the concubine position, there is no Concubine Xi and his mother-in-law.
What do others think of this?
My mother-in-law was not favored. She was the eldest among the three concubines in the second volume, but she was not as dignified as the sensitive concubines and the concubines He.
And there is Zhongcui Palace...
She has been demoted and sealed in the palace, but Duanyang Gong is rewarded the same as the other three concubines...
People inside and outside the palace said that this was "mother is more valuable than daughter" and it was the emperor giving face to the eldest daughter.
If the emperor has this kind of compassion, why doesn't he show compassion to himself?
Even if his mother-in-law is old and not as favored as concubine Min and concubine He, but she still has an older son. Since the son is more valuable to the mother, why can't she reward her with a tribute to the Dragon Boat Festival?
The eighth prince had an inexplicable feeling that the situation between mother and son should not be like this.
The current situation of Minbi and her son should belong to them.
Mother is valued by her son, and son is valued by her mother.
The status of the concubine will not stop at the concubine position. In order to enhance her own status, even if she is not canonized, Khan Ama will provide daily necessities according to the concubine position.
As it is now, I am a little behind among the brothers, and my mother has been reduced to the last position among the leaders. I always feel that something is not right.
He is not a fool, and he knows when he changed.
After the wedding...
After a while, the people from the garden dining room sent a dining table outside.
The butler of the kitchen also came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince has sent us some dishes, but they can't be served..."
Kangxi nodded and said: "Come on..."
I just moved in yesterday, and I'm thinking about food today.
Apart from eating, drinking and having fun, I don’t want to do anything serious the whole day.
The few people sitting down listened and each had their own thoughts.
The third elder brother swallowed his saliva.
What is delicious?
Thinking of a new dish again?
The fifth elder brother's eyes were bright, looking forward to having a few bites when the dish was bigger.
Brother Seventh was a little distracted, but he guessed right, there was indeed a table at Beiwu Hall at noon today.
The eighth elder brother squinted his eyes and looked at the exchange between the butler and the emperor's father. This kind of dish was actually common...
The butler in charge of the dining room responded and went down to bring in the dining table.
There are two small square tables on the dining table today. In addition to the eight regular dishes, there are also two special dishes for Brother Jiu.
Different from ordinary vegetable plates, these two are shakuru plates, and half the table is set for each dish...
