At the beginning of the next day, the Holy Emperor returned to the palace.
The fifth elder brother, the tenth elder brother, and the twelfth elder brother who had not left the capital to welcome him, together with the clan kings, academicians, and leading bodyguards and ministers, waited at the palace gate to welcome him.
When Brother Jiu saw the brothers in front of the team, it was as if the clouds were clearing and the sun appeared, and his mind became clear.
Fifth brother is fat again.
Fifth brother has never been a fool.
However, the fifth brother did not get involved in anything. Even though he was in charge of the vassal academy, he rarely interfered with the affairs of the academy.
Lao Shi's recklessness is only reckless when he wants to be reckless.
In fact, as an orphan, the tenth prince did not suffer much even if he did not receive the protection of the imperial father.
The invisibility of the twelfth prince is more like a kind of self-protection.
How could a child raised by Grandma Suma become cowardly and incompetent?
He wanted to beat himself a few times.
Just looking at the twelfth elder brother's Qianxi Fifth Institution and the strict management from top to bottom, one should know that the twelfth elder brother is not a little elder brother who will be bullied.
No wonder my wife said before that the twelfth prince was a "showman", she must have seen what the twelfth prince was doing.
Does this count as jumping out of the game? Does anyone else know?
Brother Ninth felt a little proud inexplicably.
The tenth elder brother was also looking at the ninth elder brother, and saw that he was in high spirits, with a smile on his face.
When the holy driver entered Qianqing Palace, all the people in his entourage dispersed.
The fifth elder brother and the tenth elder brother both rushed to the ninth elder brother.
The fifth elder brother looked at him and said, "How come it has been reduced?"
Brother Ninth Brother was already thin. He had something to worry about a while ago. He had trouble sleeping and eating, and lost a few kilograms. Later, he was worried about it and didn't make up for it. It was more obvious when he looked at it.
Brother Jiu smiled and said: "If you don't like what you eat, you can just wait for a supplement. It will be just the right time to gain weight."
Seeing that he was in good spirits and didn't hear any news that he was sick, the fifth elder brother said, "It's okay if he's not sick. Don't be too picky about food."
The tenth elder brother thought about the people in his entourage. The eldest elder brother and the fourth elder brother both loved to take care of their younger brothers. The thirteenth elder brother had always been close to his ninth elder brother. The prince was a smart man and would not treat his brothers lightly in front of the emperor. There are fourteen brothers left, which makes people worry.
He asked in a low voice: "Brother Ninth, is Brother Fourteen rude?"
Brother Jiu curled his lips and said: "I owe you two words, so I can be honest if you ask me to talk back."
The fifth elder brother and the tenth elder brother both stopped smiling.
The fifth elder brother clenched his fists and said, "Next year the fourteenth elder brother will be on duty as an errand, just wait and see."
When the time comes, I will no longer be a little brother. If there is any irregularity, I will clean it up when it needs to be done.
The tenth elder brother also had dark eyes, looking towards the upper study room in the distance, and said: "The fourteenth elder brother is not popular with the elder brothers, but in front of the younger elder brother, he is a good brother and a good uncle..."
We have to think of a way to let the younger brother and the emperor's grandson know the true identity of the fourteenth brother and not let him fool him.
The grandsons of the emperor who are now in the study room, except for Hongsheng of Wubeile Mansion, are all heirs of various families. It is also a hidden danger that these people will be fooled by the Fourteenth Prince.
Brother Ninth had been holding back his words and wanted to tell Brother Ten, but he knew that Qianqing Palace Square was not the place to talk, so he said: "I want to go home. Are Fifth Brother and Tenth Brother relieved of their errands now? Or are they? Waiting to see Your Majesty?"
The fifth elder brother glanced at the Qianqing Palace, then at the South Study Room, and said, "I don't know if Khan Amma will pass the news today. Anyway, I have to be on duty in the South Study Room today."
As soon as Shengjia returned to Luang, all the chief officials of the six departments and Jiuqing Yamen were waiting to see him.
The tenth elder brother also said: "Even if we don't preach, we still have to wait for the oral instructions to come down. We won't be able to disperse until noon at the earliest."
The ninth elder brother glanced at the tenth elder brother and said: "Then old ten will send me off. Fifth brother, go quickly."
The fifth elder brother also knew that the followers were tired, so he said: "Then go home quickly and have a good rest for a few days, and let your brothers and sisters help you replenish your health."
The ninth elder brother responded and followed the tenth elder brother out.
The two brothers left Qianqing Gate and walked towards Xihua Gate.
Seeing that there was no one around, the ninth elder brother lowered his voice and asked the tenth elder brother: "Has anyone given you any trouble in the past few months?"
This year is the first time that the 10th Prince has visited the South Study Room since he became a errand.
The tenth brother shook his head and said: "No, the third brother is busy dealing with government affairs. The seventh brother is not that kind of person. The fifth brother will only protect me."
Brother Jiu whispered: "The limelight is not right right now. The prince has become a target. We will not get involved, but we must guard against being cheated."
Brother Ten had a serious look on his face and said, "Is someone plotting against Brother Ninth?"
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "No, I just watched a few lively events and want to understand many things. You come out of the palace this afternoon and we will discuss it in detail and calculate it carefully."
The tenth prince nodded, thinking of the eighth prince.
Among the brothers above, only the Eighth Prince needs to be on guard the most.
But we should also be careful not to see the dark under the lamp.
We must also guard against others dragging Brother Jiu into the water for his own sake.
Brother Jiu walked out of Donghua Gate. The guards and carriage were already waiting here.
The two brothers said goodbye, one returned to the palace and the other left.
In the south study room, the third elder brother suppressed his excitement and was reading the question book seriously.
Today is the last day to invest, so we need to make a beautiful ending.
The fifth elder brother came in and sat across from the kang table, looking at the third elder brother with straight eyebrows.
The third elder brother raised his head and said, "What are you looking at? Is something wrong?"
The fifth elder brother knew that the third elder brother liked to inquire, so he asked: "The third elder brother went to greet the driver yesterday. Did you hear any news?"
The third elder brother put down the book in his hand, thought for a moment, and whispered: "Wei Zhu got slapped once, but it was probably a small mistake. I heard that Khan Amma gave him grace and allowed him to build a temple after returning to Beijing."
The fifth elder brother was confused and asked: "What do you mean? Khan Amma wants to build a royal temple?"
Third Brother shook his head and said: "No, it's the area where Xiu Wei Zhu grew up, a shabby temple in Haidian."
The fifth elder brother was not interested and said: "What about the others?"
The third elder brother thought for a while and said: "A few of the servants in the dining room also had fits. Tsk, tsk, Musca is getting an advantage!"
What he asked was not true, but Yingyingchuochuo also knew that it might be related to the Queen Mother, so he hesitated and did not tell the truth.
Otherwise, Lao Wu couldn't control his temper and made a fuss. It would be like he was making trouble and would downplay it.
Muska left Beijing with his retinue this year, but when the Holy Emperor left Rehe, Muska returned to Beijing, otherwise he would have suffered a lot.
The fifth elder brother continued to ask: "Is there anything else?"
The third elder brother knew that the question he was asking was about the ninth elder brother, and he didn't pay attention to anything else.
He shook his head and said: "With Lao Jiu's lazy attitude and not taking on any errands, what are you worried about?"
Even if others find fault with Brother Jiu, they can't fault him other than his laziness in politics.
When I'm away from home, all my errands are put on hold, and there's nowhere to go wrong.
The fifth elder brother thought about this and felt at ease.

Jiubele Mansion.
Shu Shu sat in front of the dressing table and looked at herself in the mirror.
The Jiu A Ge people followed Sheng Jia into the palace, and their luggage had already returned home first.
The husband and wife get together happily, Shu Shu also has a bit of expectation, and she has to do her makeup in front of the mirror.
Seeing that her chin was a bit round in the mirror, Shu Shu felt slightly guilty.
Occasionally I miss it, but I don’t seem to delay eating or drinking.
Now she is five and a half months pregnant, has gained weight, and has become greedy.
Shu Shu restrained herself, but she also looked like she was eating and sleeping soundly.
She knew she couldn't do this. If she ate too much in the third trimester of pregnancy and the baby grew older, she would be the only one to suffer.
The key point is that the time of childbirth is also a time of life and death, and I don’t want to seek death.
There was movement at the door, Dongyue opened the curtain and came in, saying: "Fu Jin, my carriage has arrived."
With a smile on Shu Shu's face, she went out to greet him.
As soon as I left the main courtyard, I saw Brother Jiu striding over.
Seeing Shu Shu come out, Brother Jiu walked a few steps quickly and said, "Stand still and don't move. Don't tire yourself out if you feel heavy."
Shu Shu looked down at herself. She was wearing loose clothes, her belly was not big, and she didn't look clumsy.
However, she still stood still and looked at Brother Jiu with a smile.
Seeing her smiling face, Brother Jiu felt at ease. He stepped forward and took her hand, saying, "Did the child make trouble for you? Did it hurt you?"
Shu Shu's eyebrows curved and she said, "I'm pretty well-behaved, but I was greedy a while ago and always wanted to eat inappropriate things, such as crabs and watermelons. I'll have to eat as much as I can after the confinement period."
Shu Shu loves to read medical books, and Brother Jiu has learned a lot about medical theory in recent years.
After listening to Shu Shu's words, he said: "If you want to eat something cold, is it because you have body heat? What does the imperial doctor say?"
Shu Shu said: "It's true that I ate too much meat at that time, and I had some heat and phlegm. The imperial doctor ordered me to eat a light diet."
Brother Jiu said: "Then listen to the doctor's advice carefully and wait until the fourth child is born. Then I will take you to Tianjin to eat seafood."
Shu Shu nodded and said, "Well, I'll go there then."
I don’t want to go far away, but if it’s nearby, I can go around.
The couple talked and returned to the main courtyard.
Hot water is ready in advance.
After Brother Ninth had finished washing his clothes and changed into homely clothes, he couldn't wait to say: "Let's go to Ning'an Hall to see the county master and Ni Guzhu..."
Shu Shu said: "Feng Sheng and Akdan are also over there."
The couple arrived at Ning'an Hall.
Because Shu Shu often mentioned Brother Ninth's hard work in front of the children, and there was a portrait of Brother Ninth at home, the children were not unfamiliar with Brother Ninth.
Ni Guzhu directly hugged his legs and said: "Ama, Ama, Xiaoma is good..."
Fengsheng and Akdan studied etiquette properly, but Niguzhu was much more restrained and honest.
Brother Jiu first gave Mrs. Bo a big hug and said, "I'm sorry for your trouble."
Although the two are siblings, due to Shu Shu and the big age difference, the ninth elder brother has always respected Mrs. Bo as his elder.
Mrs. Bo patted Brother Jiu on the back and said, "Brother, thank you for your hard work."
After the salute was completed, Brother Jiu picked up Ni Guzhu, looked at Fengsheng and Akdan, and said, "Did you listen carefully to what Ma Ma and E Ni said?"
"have……"
"Listen..."
"Listen..."
The three of them answered obediently.
Looking at his own child, Brother Jiu is pleased with him no matter what.
But now he was thinking more, and an emperor's face appeared in his mind.
Poor Khan Amma hopes that her sons will be brothers and sisters, but in fact everyone is just acting.
It was not true before, but now it is true.
It's just...he is not confused, he should also know that what is fake is fake...
Thinking like this, Brother Jiu looked carefully at Fengsheng and Akdan.
Look old at the age of three.
As a dear Ama, the temperaments of the two sons are also in the eyes of Ninth Prince.
