Chapter 1676 The Prince of the County (wowling for monthly votes)
The two princesses came specially to express their thanks, but Brother Jiu understood the importance.
Some favors can be accepted, while others can be ignored.
He said: "This is all Khan Amma's kindness. He is trying to find ways to supplement us. It is not easy to live at home!"
One sentence made Princess Chunxi and Princess Rongxian laugh.
Princess Chunxi smiled and said: "Don't be ignorant of blessings when you are in the midst of blessings. You have received good fortune, have children, and become the 'God of Wealth.' Why is it so difficult?"
Brother Jiu counted with his fingers and said: "Our generation is not difficult, Youhan Ama is thinking about it, but the generation of the emperor's grandchildren and the emperor's great-grandchildren always have to worry about them!"
Princess Chunxi said: "Tsk, tsk, I have only been an adult for a few years, and I have already spent eight lifetimes worrying about it!"
Princess Rongxian is also thinking about the future of her children, but she can understand Brother Jiu's thoughts.
She held Shu Shu's hand and whispered: "I didn't expect that my ninth brother would be so responsible. You didn't praise me in vain."
Shu Shu smiled and said: "The emperor and empress taught me well, and our father is also kind-hearted."
The two princesses did not sit still for long. They talked for a quarter of an hour and then left.
Shu Shu and Brother Jiu sent it out.
I was seeing Brother Thirteen coming back from outside.
Seeing the two sisters there, Brother Thirteen hurriedly walked a few steps over to say hello.
Although there is an age difference between the two princesses and the Thirteenth Brother, the Thirteenth Brother has been following the Northern Patrol in recent years, and the siblings have met several times.
Princess Chunxi joked: "I'll take you Fujin to play with us later. Don't hide me!"
Brother Thirteen got married in the twelfth lunar month of last year. He has only been married for half a year now, and Thirteen Fujin is still a bride.
The thirteenth elder brother smiled and agreed, then looked at Princess Rongxian, but hesitated for a moment and said: "Second sister, to Prince Wengniute, are you familiar with your second brother-in-law?"
The Wengniute tribe and the Bahrain tribe both belong to the Zhaowuda League, and their tribes are next to each other.
Princess Rongxian was smart and asked after hearing this: "Is this the time when the Thirteenth Princess is going to choose a prince-in-law?"
Thirteenth Princess is the younger sister of Thirteenth Brother. She is sixteen this year and has reached the age to choose a prince-in-law.
The thirteenth elder brother did not nod or shake his head, and said: "Khan Ama sent a message and asked Prince Ongniute to pay his respects to the royal grandmother tomorrow."
Concubine Min was in her thirties and was still a young concubine. It was difficult for her to directly inform the feudal prince, but the Queen Mother did not interfere.
Princess Rongxian thought for a while and said: "I just know that he is the fourth prince of the Wengniute tribe. He is the grandson of the princess of Prince Ying's palace. He has inherited the throne for thirty-two years. He is fourteen this year and has not yet become a daughter. Now the prince's palace
Affairs are handled by the concubine."
As for her temperament, Princess Rongxian didn't know. They were not from the same banner, and they were different in age, so they had not had much interaction with her.
Wengniu's special department has long been looking forward to the princess's descent.
There are four tribes in total in the Zhaowuda League. The other three tribes have all lost princesses. The Bahrain tribe has also lost princesses twice. Only the Wengniute tribe has only married a princess in the Taizong Dynasty.
However, as the British prince investigated the crime, seized the title, and expelled the family status, even if the married daughter was not implicated, the princess became an embarrassing status and was not close to the court.
Brother Ninth said from the side: "He is two years younger than Thirteen Gege. Is he the person chosen by Fifteen Gege?"
Fifteen Princess is also the sister of Thirteenth Brother. She is twelve years old this year, which is the right age for the county prince.
The Thirteenth Brother shook his head and said: "In the Fifteenth Princess, Khan Ama wants to choose someone from the Horqin tribe."
Brother Jiu frowned, a little confused as to why two sisters with the same mother could have such a big difference in choosing a son-in-law.
One is the king of the county and the head of a department, and the other is just Taiji.
Princess Chunxi showed envy and said: "Khan Ama is kind."
Princess Rongxian understood that Minbin was not of high status, but she was more favored than imagined.
There are already two princesses in Horqin tribe, so there is no need for princesses to garrison Horqin.
The candidates for the fifteen-level prince-in-law should be chosen among the descendants of Taiji who are serving as errands in the capital under the Horqin tribe.
In this way, even if the fifteenth princess marries to Mongolia, she can still live in the capital with her husband, which is the same as marrying to the Eight Banners.
The difference is that there is no princess palace in the capital, and she is buried in Horqin after her death.
While she was alive, she could return to the capital and enjoy the benefits.
Brother Ninth was still confused, but looking at the reactions of the two princesses, he knew that Horqin seemed to be no worse than Prince Wengniute.
After chatting for a while, the two princesses got into the carriage and went back to their tent.
The thirteenth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother and said: "Ninth elder brother, the prince will stay in Rehe until the end of the month. After he pays his respects to the imperial grandmother, I want to invite him to hunt. Is it appropriate?"
Brother Jiu said: "It's appropriate. If you don't take a look at it now, when will you take a look? But I feel that Khan Ama mentioned this person and specified it as someone who had inquired about it before. There won't be any big trouble."
After hearing this, the thirteenth elder brother breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I only hope to have the character of the eldest brother-in-law and the second brother-in-law..."
Brother Jiu didn't know why, but he thought of Prince Zhuang and Prince Xin.
The Baby Prince has been a prince for as long as he can remember. He who is favored by everyone in the palace is more likely to have a domineering temper.
But no matter how domineering he is, he can't be as domineering as the princess.
If you are chosen as the princess's consort, if you are smart, you will know that you should learn from the consorts with large foreheads and two foreheads, and you must not be like the three-fronted princes.
Shu Shu was nearby, listening to the two brothers talking, and felt that it was a coincidence.
She was going to see the Queen Mother tomorrow morning, and she sent someone over this afternoon to tell her.
I wonder if I can meet the young prince.
The two sisters of the Thirteenth Prince have been mentioned in various novels of later generations. They are tragic figures. They both died in the two years after the "One Wasted Prince" and the two years when the Thirteenth Prince lost power.
Now that Min Bin is still there, even if the Thirteenth Prince loses power, it will not be the end of the road. The fate of the two princesses is unknown.
Early the next morning, before Chenchu, Shu Shu took the vegetarian pots prepared in the kitchen into the palace and went to the Queen Mother's Hall.
The Queen Mother had been waiting for a long time. When she saw Shu Shu, she smiled happily and said, "I was looking forward to this meal. I lost two pieces of the pastry last night."
After hearing this, Shu Shu said: "I promise not to disappoint the imperial grandmother. My granddaughter-in-law is also hungry and waiting for this meal."
The Queen Mother smiled and nodded: "Okay, it will be delicious if you rush to eat it."
When Xiaotang and Baiguo came over, they put the pot on the fire. The Queen Mother looked at it and said curiously: "Is this pot still there?"
Shu Shu said: "The ones on the side are all cooked. Some of them are delicious when they are boiled, but they don't taste good when they are old."
In the bottom of the tomato pot, fungus, kelp, fried tofu, yuba, shiitake mushrooms, and white radish slices have been cooked.
What was not eaten next to it were cabbage cores and cucumber slices.
There is also a spinach noodle and an egg noodle ready for the end.
Drink the soup first, then the vegetables, then the noodles.
Although they are all vegetarian dishes, they are extremely delicious and not as bland as ordinary vegetarian dishes.
The Queen Mother drank two bowls of soup and a bowl of noodles and said, "This pot is delicious now, and you can't go wrong eating it in winter."
Shu Shu said cheerfully: "The granddaughter-in-law of the Imperial Grandmother's sweet persimmon sauce has made it!"
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Okay, okay, the Imperial Grandmother will not eat your food for nothing, but will leave persimmon frost and persimmon cakes for you later. Those are also persimmons."
Grandma and grandson were chatting and laughing, and a young eunuch whispered to Grandma Bai at the door, saying: "Mammy, Empress Chuxiugong is here, waiting outside."
Seeing that the Queen Mother and Shu Shu had both put down their chopsticks, Aunt Bai stepped forward and said, "My Lady, Lady Min is here."
The Queen Mother remembered what the Emperor had told people to tell yesterday afternoon, and said to Shu Shu: "I'm here to see my son-in-law. The Emperor has chosen Thirteen Gege's son-in-law..."
Shu Shu already knew about this, so she stood up and said: "Then grandson-in-law, please leave. Don't delay the official business of the imperial grandmother and the concubine."
The Queen Mother shook her head and said: "No need to avoid it, just follow and take a look, and learn from Brother Thirteen when you turn around, so that he won't worry."
This is because he knew that the ninth elder brother had a good relationship with the thirteenth elder brother and gave Shu Shu a chance to do favors.
Shu Shu did not refuse, but stood up and waited for Min Bin to come in.
Aunt Bai asked someone to carry the dining table down, and then followed the Queen Mother's instructions and went out to invite Min Bin in.
Minbin was not surprised to see Shu Shu here.
The palace family members all lived nearby, and she had already heard about Shu Shu's arrival.
After greeting the Queen Mother, Shu Shu went to greet Concubine Min.
Min Bin smiled and said: "You came just in time to help you see what the prince's character is like."
Shu Shu didn't make excuses, and just said: "Yesterday, I heard Uncle Thirteen mentioned that the prince of the county came to pay his respects. I didn't expect that he would catch up with me."
The Queen Mother smiled and said to Concubine Min: "Wengniu's special department has been looking forward to the princess's descent for a long time. In the early years of Kangxi, the previous prince also submitted a marriage proposal to the court. Now this is the second time..."
Those who eagerly ask for it will also cherish it.
Min Bin nodded and said: "The person the emperor likes, no matter how right he is, is not an outsider, but the great-great-grandson of Emperor Taizu."
The Queen Mother said: "It's because Taizu's bloodline is better. If we get closer, we will get along harmoniously in the future."
The Queen Mother and Min Bin both spoke, and Shu Shu, the young uncle and sister-in-law, did not need to avoid it and followed the young prince to meet him.
So young!
He is fourteen years old, probably his birthday. He still looks like a child, and his voice has not changed yet. His stature is not that of an adult, less than five feet tall.
Both the Queen Mother and Min Bin had unexpected events.
The young prince seemed to know the importance of this marriage. He acted very nervously, did not dare to raise his head and speak, and his face turned red.
The Queen Mother was still looking at the person, and Min Bin's heart was already heavy.
Even though he is still young, he became the county king in thirty-two years and has been the prince for ten years. He should not be so shy.
He seems to have a soft temper, which is a good thing for Thirteen Gege, but it is also not a good thing.
The good thing is that Thirteen Princesses will not be bullied, but the bad thing is that the widowed mother above is either stubborn or rigid, which prevents the child from standing up; or she is equally weak. The mother and son are in a difficult situation, and asking the court to marry the princess is also a shock to the clan.
Public.
If it's the latter, it's okay, but if it's the former, the days after Thirteen Ge Ge will be difficult.
My own daughter knows that the Thirteenth Princess is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, but also has a good waist. When the time comes and she has the pressure of filial piety, she may be in a dilemma.
The Queen Mother didn't think too much and spoke to the little prince in Mongolian.
The little prince's grandmother passed away the year before last. During her lifetime, she never forgot to ask for favor from the court and asked the emperor to marry the little prince.
Shu Shu stood by and did not interrupt, but was thinking about the relationship between the little prince and the capital.
Azig himself wanted to launch a mutiny and was executed, and his descendants were expelled from their clan.
Azig’s daughter…
In addition to the old concubine Weng Niute, there is also Mingzhu’s wife who was killed by a domestic slave!
Azig's lineage has a somewhat psychopathic temperament. I wonder if the old concubine is the same?
I hope that this little prince will not only look honest, but actually be honest...
