Chapter 1431 The anxious Master Jiu (asking for a guaranteed monthly ticket)
Although Prince Gong has not been on official duty in the past two years, he has heard the behavior of several of the emperor's nephews.
The Ninth Prince's Mansion and the Tenth Prince's Mansion really don't have many external diplomatic contacts.
Since they did not lower their flags, they did not have to entertain the princes with the same flag.
The two families that have friendly relations with each other are the families of several uncles and Prince Zhuang's residence.
After Prince Zhuang's Mansion and the Ninth Prince's Mansion had a rift last year, the proper etiquette was still there, but the two princes did not go to that door.
The same spirit connects the branches.
This incident was indeed an unforeseen disaster for Jiu Age and his wife.
Prince Gong patted Brother Jiu on the shoulder and said, "If you don't want to talk to me, just ignore him. They are all careless bastards."
Brother Jiu didn't nod stupidly.
The leprosy son’s own family is good.
Besides, he's still a cousin, not a cousin, so it's not his turn to reprimand.
He said: "Khan Amma is waiting for you to come in..."
Prince Gong nodded, his face a little heavy, and entered the Qingxi Bookstore.
Kangxi's expression was peaceful, no longer as disgusted as before he asked Brother Jiu to go out.
"It's rare that you still come to the garden..."
When Prince Gong came to greet him, Kangxi couldn't help but make a stab at him.
Prince Gong immediately admitted his mistake and said: "They are all slaves who are lazy. They should make more trips to pay their respects to the Emperor and Enie..."
Kangxi looked unkind and said: "You have grandchildren, but you still don't know what precepts and deeds mean? If you are a son of man and don't know how to be filial to your parents, how are you different from an animal?"
Brother Jiu was beside him, feeling numb all over.
Is this something he can listen to?!
There are rules for teaching children in person, but there is no rule for teaching younger brothers in person!
Still acting like a slave and a junior!
After Prince Gong said his greetings, Ben stood up. After hearing these words, he couldn't stand anymore and knelt down and said: "This servant is confused, has a bad attitude, and has not taught his son well."
Since leaving the branch office, he has not visited the Queen Mother many times to pay his respects.
Earlier, it was because of Prince Chun Fujin.
Prince Chun Fujin is the daughter of a princess and of royal blood. She is young and widowed. If the Queen Mother prefers her more, life will be easier.
They, the bastards who had separated from their families, were living a smooth life, so there was no need to move forward.
Later, it was because of my fifth elder brother.
The old lady has raised an eldest grandson who is like a treasure, and she is too lazy to deal with them, the bastards outside the palace, and they also understand.
When Prince Fujin is here, he greets everyone who deserves greetings, and the four seasons of filial piety are also observed.
It's just that he and the Fuquan brothers are restricted by their status and cannot go to the inner court in old age. The day of greeting each year is still the same as in the early years, such as the Chinese New Year and the Queen Mother's Holy Birthday Festival.
When we arrived in Haidian, although it was not in the palace, it was still next to the imperial garden. They were already the princes of the clan, so it was difficult for them to come here too often.
This is the truth, but it is not unjust to receive such scolding today.
From the perspective of the younger generation in the palace, Prince Gong was not as ordinary as his aunt, and he was closer to his uncle's family.
How can I think about Prince Gong's difficulties?
Horqin, the Queen Mother's natal family, was not a place where their princes could get close to each other and get a share of the pie. It was the emperor's private place.
Kangxi sneered and wanted to train him again, but he saw Brother Jiu bowing and standing at the door, like a quail, wanting to bury his head in his chest.
He couldn't help but frown and winked at Liang Jiugong.
Seeing this, Liang Jiugong tiptoed to the door and quietly pulled Brother Jiu down.
Brother Jiu followed him down obediently, and after leaving the study room, he took a deep breath.
It's just that Kangxi only let him out and didn't give any other instructions.
It’s not easy for Ninth Brother to go back to Ninth Brother’s place directly.
But standing at the door is not good. In that case, when Prince Gong comes out, the uncle and nephew will face each other, and they will be embarrassed.
Brother Ninth feels that he does not want to see Prince Gong within three to five months.
He pointed to the duty room in the east where the foreign officials were waiting, meaning that he would go there and wait.
Liang Jiugong nodded.
Brother Ninth went to check in the room.
There is no one here now, only two pen-posters on duty are there.
There is a water tank in the corner, and most of the water tank is filled with ice.
Brother Jiu often came to the imperial court. The two Bi Tie Shi also knew him and bowed to say hello.
Brother Jiu waved his hands and shouted, "I'm waiting to see you, what should you do..."
Despite his instructions, the two writers still took the herbal tea next to them and served the tea to Brother Jiu before returning to the desk.
Brother Ninth was anxious as he waited, thinking about the situation just now, and felt a little uncomfortable.
This elder brother trains his younger brother just like he trains his grandson.
If the prince lectured him like this, he would probably be furious.
So angry...
I heard that Prince Xiang, the son of Emperor Taizong and the half-brother of Emperor Shizu, was slapped in the face by the emperor's brother and died in anger.
Will it be hard for Uncle Wang to get over being insulted like this today?
Brother Jiu pursed his lips, feeling unfazed.
Although he disliked Hai Shan, he had no objection to Prince Gong and did not wish his uncle bad luck.
At this moment, the garden dining room sent a rough eunuch to bring a food box. It was a written dinner for the two of them.
When they were on duty in the garden, they used the large kitchen in the garden dining room to prepare meals together.
Just like the guards and others, they are also provided with one pound of pork and one pound of vegetables every day.
Because of the ice cubes, the doors and windows were closed.
Although the food box was delivered, neither of them opened it, fearing that the smell of the food would infect Ninth Brother.
Brother Ninth is also hungry.
Seeing the restraint of the two of them, he stood up and said: "You eat your food, I will go out and urge you..."
After that, he picked up the curtain and went out.
The two of them got up and sent them off in a hurry.
When Brother Jiu came out, he saw Liang Jiugong coming out of Qingxi Bookstore and heading to check in.
"Master Jiu, the emperor has left the prince to eat, and asked you to go back first..."
Liang Jiugong said.
Brother Ninth: "..."
I didn't expect it to develop like this.
Is this a slap in the face and a sweet date?
Or a combination of kindness and power?
He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That Shuda is busy. I have gone back to my brother's place. I am already hungry."
Liang Jiugong nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Jiu, for thinking about it. Please come back quickly. It's going to be dark soon."
The ninth elder brother did not delay, and left the garden through the small east gate and went to his elder brother's house.
After entering his brother's house, he slapped his mouth twice. He regretted that when he talked about Hai Shan, he added more fuel and jealousy and told Prince Gong the truth.
He had a small thought at that time and wanted to cut off the foundation of Haishan - the Chen family.
Otherwise, I have been tricked for nothing. How can I calm down as long as I return to the bamboo?
In fact, in these years, I have never heard of Prince Gong mentioning his maternal family, otherwise his uncle, cousin, etc. would not even have a grade.
Don't talk about other things, just talk about the staff officials in the Prince's Mansion, and arrange one or two cousins, it's just a matter of one sentence.
Thinking like this, he felt a little guilty, and he felt wilted when he entered the main room.
Shu Shu hasn't eaten yet, waiting for Brother Jiu to come back.
Seeing him like this, completely different from when he left, Shu Shu was a little worried and said: "The emperor trained me? Did you train him for so long?"
How can anyone treat me like this?
He scolds his own son for the sake of other people's sons.
Or when it's up to you.
Brother Ninth sighed, looked at Shu Shu and said: "I remembered the warning from Fourth Brother earlier, and asked me to speak more leisurely in front of the emperor. I talked too much today, like a villain..."
Shu Shu looked at Brother Jiu.
Does he claim to be a gentleman?
Whether you are a moral gentleman or a despicable villain, it is quite difficult.
Brother Ninth is still an ordinary person.
Brother Jiu was still waiting for Shu Shu to ask more questions. When he saw that she was silent, he couldn't help but wonder: "Why aren't you curious about what I said?"
Shu Shu said: "I don't tell lies in front of the emperor. I just tell the truth. I am not a villain. I think too much. Hai Shan came to Prince Gong and said what I did today, but I didn't have anything good to say. I am here.
Even if the emperor talks about Haishan’s kindness, he can’t get involved with the villain..."
Brother Jiu said angrily: "That's true, but I'm a quick talker, and I even said a few words about Uncle Wang afterwards."
Shu Shu looked at him and said: "Because of this, are you being reprimanded by the emperor? I'll just pay attention to it next time. The emperor attaches great importance to rules. Don't mess with the dignity of elders and younger ones."
That would be superfluous.
Brother Jiu sighed and said that Prince Gong came to plead guilty and received a lot of scolding.
"I was confused at that time. Even if Uncle Wang is not strict in running the family, Khan Ama shouldn't be so annoyed? The beasts have come out..."
He couldn't figure out the reason for a moment and was a little confused. He said: "It's not for me, nor for the royal grandmother's greetings. There should be other things. Khan Ama used the topic to make use of it..."
He felt embarrassed earlier, and in the check-in room he was worried that Prince Gong would be scolded so harshly that there would be bad consequences.
Later, when I heard that the emperor had reserved meals, I thought there might be something else.
Shu Shu blinked and did not interrupt.
As far as she knew, among the two close princes, Prince Yu liked his nephew, Eighth Prince, and praised him a lot.
Prince Gong, won’t he be as optimistic about the eighth prince like Prince Yu?
It's just that the "Ba Ye Party", which will become famous in later generations, has not even begun to show its signs yet.
If the eldest brother does not fail, nothing will happen to the eighth brother.
Regardless of whether it is the Eighth Prince or the Fourteenth Prince, the plate they take over is actually the "Great Chitose Party".
Then Ba Age expanded it a bit.
When I arrived at the Fourteenth Prince's place, some filling was done due to the Northwest War.
After Brother Jiu finished speaking, he took a long breath and said: "I was really scared when I was on duty. If Khan Ama scolded Uncle Wang to death, then I would have to bear a heavy debt..."
Having said this, he reflected for a moment and said: "From now on in front of the emperor, I will never be careless again..."
Even if you want to add trivial words, it is only for the enemy, forget about others.
Shu Shu said: "It's okay, it's okay. It's a good thing that I learned a lesson..."
It was already time to light the lamps, so Gingguo led others to light all the lamps.
The dining table was finally set.
The honey bitter gourd prepared earlier was taken to the garden, and another dish was made in the kitchen, so this dish is still available.
There is also a mustard fungus as a cold dish, which is crisp and refreshing.
There is another cake tonight, which is black sesame, black bean and purple rice cake.
Brother Jiu looked at the black fungus and black rice cake, but he didn't take off his chopsticks for a long time.
Shu Shu saw that he was stunned and said: "If I can't eat, don't force it. I'll make almond tea later..."
She was afraid that Brother Jiu would be frightened and lose his appetite.
Brother Jiu shook his head, widened his eyes, looked at Shu Shu, and said: "No, I was tricked by Khan Ama. When did Khan Ama scold Uncle Wang, but today... I am taking the blame."
