On the next day, Kangxi led the prince and his bodyguards to perform shooting. Following him were the thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers.
Not surprisingly, both father and son were hit by all five arrows.
The ninth elder brother stood under the fourth elder brother, looking at the situation on the field with envy in his heart.
If only he had the strength of the thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers.
Needless to say, the Thirteenth Brother still looks thin, but at seventeen years old, he already looks like an adult. He is also stable with the bow. He can hold a seven-power bow, not to mention five arrows, and probably a hundred arrows.
Because I wasted my strength.
The Fourteenth Brother is fifteen years old and has already used the Eight Power Bow, and he is also on the target. He really deserves the praise.
After the prince shot, several guards shot again, and then they were all rewarded. The guards received half a year's salary, and one of the two princes got a royal bow and the other a royal horse.
Brother Jiu looked hot.
It's just a matter of paying off the horse, but the bow can be passed down from generation to generation.
If he is dying, Akdan Xijing has no hope, it depends on Fengsheng.
With this thought in mind, when he came down from the school grounds, he asked his fourth brother, "Fourth brother, how is Honghui's archery practice?"
After hearing this, the fourth elder brother said with reserve on his face: "Honghui followed Khan Amma, and he also followed Guo Luomafa. He has good strength and good eyesight."
Honghui's maternal grandfather was the late Internal Affairs Minister Fei Yanggu. He was a bodyguard and a veteran of three dynasties. He was known for his bravery during his lifetime.
Brother Jiu said: "That's really good. My younger brother is also looking forward to a good life like this."
The Thirteenth Brother and the Fourteenth Brother followed beside them, listening to the two of them talking. The Thirteenth Brother did not interrupt, and the Fourteenth Brother smiled and said: "Brother Ninth, you are 'hoping for your son to become a success', right?"
If you have no future, you can only rely on small things.
Brother Jiu glanced at him and said: "Look at what they say, if you don't 'hope for your son to become a dragon', who can't 'hope for your son to become a worm'?"
The fourteenth elder brother chuckled and said: "Haha, but isn't that embarrassing the child?"
The ninth elder brother looked at the fourteenth elder brother up and down, and said sarcastically: "What's the matter? After receiving the reward from Khan Ama, do you look down on me?"
The fourth elder brother's face was also hard to look at. Looking at the fourteenth elder brother, he looked unkind.
Brother Fourteen hurriedly laughed and said: "Brother Ninth has misunderstood. That's not what he meant. He was just thinking about his son Xiao's father. Maybe my nephew's strengths are similar to those of Brother Ninth, and they are not in riding and shooting!"
Brother Jiu snorted coldly: "Is that what you mean? You know it in your heart. Since you despise me in your heart, then go back and get closer to me!"
In the past few days, the fourteenth elder brother also found an excuse to come to the ninth elder brother.
That is to say, the ninth elder brother and Shu Shu were so close that the fourteenth elder brother, the brother-in-law, couldn't follow him, so he left them alone.
After hearing this, the fourteenth elder brother couldn't help but be anxious, and hurriedly looked at the fourth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother. Seeing this, he was hoping that they could help him speak.
The fourth elder brother pursed his lips and had no intention of speaking.
The thirteenth elder brother just looked at the ninth elder brother and then at the fourteenth elder brother, without saying anything.
Brother Fourteen felt cold in his heart.
It shouldn't be like this!
Whether it's the fourth elder brother or the thirteenth elder brother, shouldn't he be disciplined well?
The ninth elder brother saw the fourteenth elder brother's demeanor, his eyes narrowed, and he understood his intention. His chest felt sick, and he really didn't want to say a word, so he threw up his sleeves and left.
When he returned to his residence, he complained to Shu Shu: "I'm so angry with you. This bastard, Fourteen, is using me as a raft to test the fourth brother and Thirteen. I look down on you, but he is worthy?! I will also look down on you in the future."
he!"
Although I didn't really like this younger brother, I didn't dislike him before.
To this day, the ninth elder brother is really tired of looking at the little tricks of the fourteenth elder brother.
The same brother, the fourteenth elder brother looks at other people's faces, but makes a face in front of himself.
After hearing this, Shu Shu felt annoyed. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Then ignore him. I'm only a few years older than him. There's no need to tolerate his bad habits!"
The ninth elder brother said angrily: "Fortunately, the fourth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother didn't say anything and just helped him, otherwise I wouldn't pay attention to them!"
Shu Shu echoed: "What kind of popularity do you have with me, and what kind of popularity does brother 14 have? If they really had to choose one from the other, the fourth master and the thirteenth brother would only choose me to get close to..."
Brother Ninth finally felt at ease and nodded: "That's right! Among so many princes, I am said to be the second most popular, and no one dares to say that I am the first..."
Sure enough, when it was time for dinner, both the fourth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother came over one after another and explained to the ninth elder brother that they had no intention of speaking for the fourteenth elder brother.
The ninth elder brother could not lose his temper with them, but once again expressed his attitude. The fourteenth elder brother looked down on him as an older brother, and he would not care about the younger brother of the fourteenth elder brother in the future.
snort!
We are all brothers of the same generation, so who has to spoil the other?
After a few days, the emperor also saw that his sons were not at odds with each other.
Kangxi sent someone to ask again and found out the general reason. It was a quarrel between the ninth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother.
He was speechless. He called Brother Jiu to the imperial tent and said, "How old are you and how old is he? Are you arguing with him? You don't act like an elder brother!"
Brother Jiu's face was aggrieved. He looked at Kangxi and was a little irritated. He said: "Khan Ama, the prince in the middle is no longer a prince? You must respect your brothers and act like a younger brother; you must also be friendly to your younger brother."
As an elder brother, how come your son is always at the disadvantage?"
Kangxi said: "We are all members of the family, why do we care about these things? We can't be more generous!"
That was Brother Jiu's own shortcoming, so there was no point in hiding it.
Brother Jiu frowned and said: "But when he received praise from Khan Ama, he relied on his talents and looked down on others. He just paid it back as a son. He also made nonsense in front of the fourth brother. That is not like being a younger brother at all. Fourth brother
He is almost a round older than me, but he is still the same brother..."
As he spoke, he told the details of the conversation that day.
Brother Fourteen’s words were filled with contempt.
On the surface, he was talking about the ninth elder brother, but he also brought in the fourth elder brother.
Kangxi: "..."
He just thought it was a quarrel between the two, but he didn't expect that archery was involved, and he was also annoyed with Brother Fourteen.
I originally thought that after a year of settling down, my temperament would become more mature, but it turns out that I am still frivolous.
He looked at Brother Jiu and didn't want to persuade him anymore. He just said: "This time, the concubines did not come out with them, and Jiu Gege is not here either. I ask you, Fujin, to go to the Queen Mother's house more often."
Brother Ninth said: "Well, well, my son Fujin goes there every day. He follows his sister-in-law and thirteen younger siblings to accompany the imperial grandmother or play cards. He is being filial!"
Kangxi didn't say anything, but asked Liang Jiugong to bring two boxes of almond tea and lotus root powder, rewarded Brother Jiu, and sent him back.
The holy driver has already left the customs, and the Queen Mother's tent is near the imperial tent.
When Brother Ninth came out, he happened to run into Shu Shu's sisters-in-law.
Dafujin was there, and Brother Jiu came forward to say hello.
Then Da Fu Jin and Thirteen Fu Jin each went back to their own tents, and Shu Shu and Jiu Age accompanied them back.
"It's still early for dinner, why are you back at this time?"
Brother Jiu asked.
Shu Shu said: "Concubine De has gone to live with the Queen Mother."
Brother Ninth was tired of being in the house and couldn't get close to Concubine De, so he said: "I'm not embarrassing you, are you? It would be great if our empress can follow you..."
Shu Shu shook her head and said: "It's not difficult. The place where we camped today was slightly damp, and Concubine De sent people to deliver blankets to the imperial grandmother."
Among the concubines in the retinue, Concubine De had the highest status and was responsible for managing the younger concubines and serving the Queen Mother.
Brother Jiu also felt itchy all over when he heard the word "return to tide".
"It's really uncomfortable to go out at this time and it rains every three days..."
Shu Shu saw Brother Jiu's reaction, thinking about the eczema on his body, and said: "I should avoid eating for a few days and apply more jasmine powder..."
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "Apply it, or you won't feel uncomfortable."
When the couple returned to the tent, they asked for hot water for Brother Jiu to bathe.
Shu Shu thought for a while and asked someone to call the accompanying imperial physician.
The imperial physician looked at Brother Jiu's rash and suggested similar advice to Shu Shu, that is, he should avoid food and avoid moisture.
Shu Shu paid it back by herself. She wiped herself diligently every day, ate a light diet, and had no rash. However, thinking that the Queen Mother's diet was heavy on meat and she was rich, she was afraid that she would not be spared, so she also took a portion of the prepared jasmine powder.
He went over and handed it to Aunt Bai quietly, telling her to use it to relieve the itching if the Queen Mother got a rash.
She ordered someone to make this when she was in the capital. Yesterday morning, she was afraid that some children would get their butts wet, and later the adults followed suit.
It can treat both prickly heat and eczema.
Within a few days, the eczema spread.
Seeing this, Brother Jiu went to the imperial court and offered a portion of jasmine powder as a tribute.
Two days later, Brother Thirteen came over and asked for two copies.
Because the concubine Min Min was the mother-in-law of Thirteen Fujin, and Thirteen Fujin had to pay attention every day and wore big clothes, the mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law also suffered from prickly heat and rash.
Brother Thirteen came over and asked for two copies, one for Thirteen Fujin and one for Min Bin.
A few days later, Brother Sixteen also came over to inquire about this and wanted to help Mr. Wang get a share.
Shu Shu also prepared two copies, one for Guiren Wang and one for the sixteenth and fifteenth elder brothers.
Every time the concubines went to the Queen Mother's house, they smelled the smell of jasmine powder.
Women's families have many clothes, so traveling in summer is often inconvenient.
Concubine He and Concubine Min had a good relationship and knew where the jasmine powder came from. She hesitated for a moment, but did not tell her to go directly to Shu Shu to ask for it. She waited until the emperor summoned her and mentioned the matter...
