Chapter 1,694 A little thing (rolling to ask for monthly votes)
As the prince continued to speak, the eunuch in charge went directly to the dining room.
But now that I'm out and about, the pastries prepared in the dining room are all rare, and they are all shelf-stable, including Shaqima and peach cakes, as well as seasonal homemade red moon cakes and golden jujube cakes.
The little steward Bai An here packed a plate of each item, totaling two food boxes, for the eunuch in charge to take with him.
Old and young are in order.
The eunuch in charge first went to the fourteenth elder brother.
The fourteenth elder brother is holding "Zi Zhi Yao Lan" in his hand, which is the emperor's sacred teachings compiled by Emperor Shizu. In the last two years of studying in the study, the princes mainly studied "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" and this "Zi Zhi Yao Lan"
.
The more he studied, the more incredible ideas came to his mind.
Even if you are a commoner, you will say, "Princes, generals and prime ministers would rather have their own kind", let alone a prince?
The real distance between that position and him, not to mention just one step away, was much closer than ordinary people.
It’s just that Brother Fourteen knows the importance and wants to hide this idea.
Duduo learned from the past, even though he was the youngest son of the eldest concubine and was favored by Emperor Taizu, he was still deceived by his brothers despite his age.
Compared with Dodo, he still lacks status and holy family.
There is no way to deal with identity. As long as the prince is here, the harem structure will not change.
Holy Family...
Should I go and see Wei Zhu?
In the past few years, I have been studying in the study room, which is where I see Wei Zhu in the courtyard of Qianqing Palace.
It's just that I don't have any friendship with him. Wouldn't it be too presumptuous?
Hearing the noise, he knew that the prince had sent someone here, so the fourteenth elder brother got up quickly and called for someone to come in.
The eunuch in charge said: "It's cold today and I'm going to be hungry very quickly, so the prince will send his servants to deliver cakes to the fourteenth elder brother."
The fourteenth elder brother was puzzled in his heart, but with gratitude on his face, he said: "The prince is considerate. Now that the nights are getting longer, I can't stand it without a midnight snack. I am missing this bite of food."
The eunuch glanced at Brother Fourteen, remembered Brother Fourteen's reaction, and left.
Brother Fourteen opened the food box, looked at some familiar pastries, and sneered.
Okay……
He is actually a "frequent customer" that he has seen every day these past few days. This prince is taking care of his younger brother, but his appearance is somewhat lacking.
Can't you give the stove master two ingots of silver and just make some new pastries, or some jerky or something like that?
With just one sentence of instructions, who would eagerly accept the instructions?
They are princes and elder brothers. They don't have enough food for themselves, so they won't ask others to go to the dining room to ask for it?
Brother Fourteen felt disgusted in his heart, but he wiped his hands and took two pieces of soft golden jujube cake to eat.
After eating, he loudly ordered the little eunuch: "Pack up the pastries that the prince has given you. Don't attract insects. Fill them up before going to bed!"
The little eunuch took the food box respectfully and put the pastries in the cabinet...
…
The eunuch in charge left the fourteenth brother's tent and went to the fifteenth and sixteenth brother's tents next door.
The two elder brothers were born from the same mother and were both of the same age. They shared a tent when they went out.
Because the tent was not big, there were not many people left to take care of it. Only the fifteenth elder brother's knowledgeable eunuch followed him.
Brother Sixteen is writing big characters behind his desk, practicing Mongolian in a gibbering manner, and doing two things seriously.
Although he was young, only eight years old, he grew up in the palace and was influenced by his childhood. He also saw the future of his brothers and said, "Sons are more valuable than mothers."
There are several brothers among them. Their biological mother is from a low background and cannot afford to be rich, so they have to strengthen their abilities.
If he could be as talented as Thirteenth Brother in civil and military affairs and become a prince whom the emperor valued highly, his title would not be low.
The fifteenth brother is squatting on horseback.
He likes quietness but not movement, and is unusual in riding and shooting.
However, every time he visited the Crown Princess, she would ask about his daily riding and shooting lessons, and the fifteenth elder brother would tell him to work hard.
He thought it was because the Crown Princess was born in a general family and liked brave men. In fact, it was because the Crown Princess was worried about the health of her fifteenth brother due to the tragedy of Akedun, so she paid attention to his riding and shooting, hoping that he would be strong and healthy.
Grew up in Kangdi.
The eunuch in charge came over, and the eunuch on duty at the door came in to report.
The two little brothers looked at each other, then they both settled down and called for others to come in.
If it was similar to that of the Fourteenth Brother, the Fifteenth Brother's reaction was not as obvious as that of the Fourteenth Brother, but the corners of his mouth were raised and his eyes were bright as he said: "Thank you, the Crown Prince, and thank you, the Crown Princess..."
With that said, he hurriedly ordered the eunuch Shuda next to him to prepare tea bags.
Eunuch Shuda knew that the people around the prince were high-minded and would not look down on ordinary tea bags. He had nothing else for the moment, so he quietly took the golden horse from his purse, put it in his new purse, and stuffed it into the steward's hand.
eunuch.
This year, his birth year is Tai Sui, which is a reward from his fifteenth elder brother during the Chinese New Year.
Brother Fifteen saw it and was a little confused.
The eunuch held the purse and felt it was tight. He knew whether it was gold or silver. He smiled sincerely and said to the fifteenth elder brother: "The princess has always loved my brother, and the prince feels the same way. When I have time, please remember to go there often."
Your Majesty, please give me my regards."
The fifteenth elder brother didn't respond, and the sixteenth elder brother frowned slightly.
What is this name?
The princess regarded her fifteenth brother as a junior, but it was not the eunuch's turn to call him "brother" directly.
The fifteenth elder brother was a little afraid of the prince. He hesitated for a moment. Thinking of the prince, he nodded and said: "Well, well..."
The eunuch in charge returned to the prince to resume his duties.
The fifteenth elder brother looked at eunuch Shuda, a little puzzled, and said: "It's just a normal gift, why should the reward be so generous? That's what I prepared for Shuda..."
Eunuch Shuda hurriedly apologized: "I was careless and didn't prepare anything else. I misappropriated the little golden horse that my master gave me as a gift..."
At this point, he lowered his voice and said: "The rewards for people in Yuqing Palace are higher than those outside. It will be cheaper for the master to go back."
Although the fifteenth elder brother is older, the princess is the eldest sister-in-law and has raised him in the early years. After a year, the fifteenth elder brother can still go over and pay two or three visits.
The fifteenth elder brother still felt a little sorry for the little golden horse, and said in a low voice: "Akedun is gone, no one will stop me anymore."
Brother Sixteen had already opened the food box and saw four kinds of pastries inside.
He immediately covered his mouth and felt the roots of his teeth hurt.
There were four kinds of cakes in total, and two of them violated his taboo!
He had a sweet tooth, and his favorite pastry was Shaqima, which resulted in his teeth being broken.
The imperial doctor has given orders to ban honey-based pastries.
Fortunately, he is changing his teeth, so it's not too late to be careful.
This "Zilaihong" also has a grudge. He ate it the day before yesterday and knocked out his shaky front teeth.
My mouth was bleeding at that time, but now that I think about it, my mouth still smells fishy.
"Can't you prepare some fine cakes?"
Brother Sixteen covered his mouth, feeling bitter and resentful.
Seeing this, the fifteenth elder brother shook his head in disapproval and said: "These are all fine cakes. They are always kept in the palace, so you treat them as rough cakes. You can't be so picky about your food."
Brother Sixteen pointed at Saqima and Zilaihong and said, "Anyway, I won't eat these two, and you don't want to eat either, just eat the other two!"
The fifteenth brother is only two years older than him and has not yet finished replacing his baby teeth.
When the fifteenth brother saw the two plates of cakes, he didn't respond immediately.
It's rare for the prince to bring something over. Wouldn't it be good if he didn't eat it?
People who don't know, think they don't respect the prince.
When Eunuch Shuda saw this, he whispered: "Is this slave using the light of Master and Master Sixteen to do this?"
Brother Fifteen didn’t want to eat these two things, so he nodded lightly...
At this moment, the eunuch in charge had returned to the prince's account.
The prince asked: "How did the brothers react?"
The eunuch in charge thought that the reactions of the younger brothers were normal. The prince showed his kindness, and as a younger brother, he was naturally willing to accept it.
The elder brothers at the top each have their own support, and they are also ordinary in facing Yuqing Palace, but the ones below have no confidence.
But thinking about the purse in his arms, he saw the shortcomings of the fourteenth elder brother in comparison.
Brother Fourteen's gratitude is a little fake.
If you really want to respect the prince, how could you forget to reward him?
Even the fifteenth elder brother knows the rules. The fourteenth elder brother is several years older than the fifteenth elder brother.
He didn't hide it and said: "Several brothers are very grateful, but I think the fifteenth brother is more sincere..."
As he said this, he also took out his purse and said twice whether there was a reward or not.
The prince was not surprised by the reactions of his younger brothers. Thinking of his fourteenth elder brother, he sneered and said, "Give him some shame and give him a few days!"
If you beat a dog, it depends on the owner. If you don't beat the dog, it also depends on the owner.
What's the difference between fooling your own slaves and fooling yourself?
The prince's actions did not avoid anyone at all.
When it was time to hold the lamp, it was spread to the emperor.
What is strange is that not only the matter of the eunuch delivering things was reported, but also his words before several elder brothers were reported.
There was no emotion or anger on Kangxi's face, and he did not find fault with the reactions of his younger sons. His thoughts were on the "elder brother" the eunuch called him.
The noble prince, a humble eunuch, actually called him "Brother"!
You can call me your elder, you can call me your master, it's not like a slave can call you.
The slave looks like his master, which shows that the prince does not put his younger brother in his eyes.
Otherwise, the servants of Yuqing Palace would not be so arrogant and rude in front of the prince.
As for taking care of...
With himself as the royal father around, it would be the prince's turn to take care of his younger brother!
Even the fourteenth elder brother has some share, this magnanimous one does not look like a prince...
The prince's behavior has changed.
Kangxi did not feel happy.
He hoped that the prince would treat his brothers and sisters as kindly as he did. What he hoped for was the prince's sincerity, not hypocrisy...
He thought of Wang Guiren again because of his fifteenth and sixteenth elder brothers, and also thought of a small incident in the thirty-second year.
Wang Guiren had a special look when he was young, otherwise he would not have set a precedent for civilian girls to enter the palace.
It's just that time flies by. For this beauty, Kangxi once asked a Western painter to paint a portrait of Wang Guiren.
After the painting was completed, the beauty picture was sent to the Xinuang Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace. In front of the emperor, in addition to Gao Shiqi, there was also the prince.
Gao Shiqi wanted to retreat and let himself stay; but the prince had no intention of retreating. He followed him and Gao Shiqi and looked at the portrait of Wang Guiren...
