Brother Jiu and Shu Shu had lunch in Ning'an Hall and have returned to the main courtyard.
After receiving the news, Brother Jiu went to the front yard.
Even if we are the best brothers, this inner courtyard is not the place where we can talk.
"Brother Ninth, what are you worried about?"
Brother Ten asked: "Didn't we agree not to get involved?"
Brother Jiu said: "But living like this, we have to guard against others throwing the blame. I thought about it carefully on the way. Although the two of us were knighted a few years later than the elder brother, the title has not been extended.
That’s good. I don’t think anyone has the nerve to surrender to us..."
"You should also pay attention to the Niu Hulu family over there. Carefully, they are using your banner to form cliques outside, but in the end they are defecting to others in private..."
"Here, I am just trying to find a way to make money. I am not seeking to benefit the country or the people, but I am just seeking to honor Khan Ama and make my son a better person..."
The tenth elder brother looked solemn and said: "Ninth brother is right, the Niu Hulu family should be more careful. Now the Hesheli family, the Tong family has lost their vitality, and the Niu Hulu family is not in good shape either. They want to restore the family
Power, without military merit, can only wait for the merit of the dragon..."
Brother Ninth said: "Even for our brothers, we will be more careful in the future, with a smile on our faces, but if we really want to do something dirty, we won't be able to protect them all."
The 10th elder brother nodded and added: "Not only the brothers, but also the next elder brother. The twelfth elder brother is very mean-spirited. The 13th elder brother is not as honest as he seems. There is also a troublemaker, the 14th elder brother."
"Uh-huh……"
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "There is no need to alienate anyone. Apart from eating and drinking, we don't have much contact with you on weekdays. Just don't be too honest."
The tenth brother thought for a while and said kindly: "The fifth brother is an exception. The fifth brother is sincere and kind to the ninth brother, and he is not a scheming person."
Brother Jiu said: "Of course, what I just said did not include the fifth brother. If the fifth brother still can't believe it, then none of us can believe it."
The tenth elder brother thought of the eighth elder brother and said: "Earlier, he acted with dignity in mind, but now he doesn't even care about dignity. We must be on guard against his dirty tricks. Ninth elder brother, don't give him too much face in the future, and the brothers will be at odds with each other."
It's obvious that he is still a bit wary and doesn't dare to scheme against Ninth Brother easily, otherwise others will immediately become suspicious of him."
Brother Jiu frowned when he thought about digging graves, and said: "It sounds very scary. People who love reputation are the ones who love reputation. They don't even want reputation. They need to be more careful..."
The two brothers met each other from the beginning of Shen to the beginning of You.
It was almost dinner time before the tenth prince left.
Shu Shu thought that the tenth elder brother would leave some food and asked the kitchen to add a pot, but she saw the ninth elder brother coming back.
"It's already this time, but I didn't leave any food?" Shu Shu said angrily.
Brother Jiu said: "I keep you here, but Lao Shi refuses, saying that you must be waiting for me too."
Shu Shu thought to herself and said, "My tenth brother and my younger siblings have suffered a lot in the past few months. Let's serve wine later and thank them properly."
Brother Jiu said: "I'm not in a hurry, and I'm not an outsider either."
Looking at Shu Shu's belly, Brother Jiu said: "I wonder if the Imperial Grandmother will send Aunt Bai over in the next few days, or else you will have to go to the palace to pay her respects in a few days..."
Shu Shu said: "It's okay now. I'm not that tired. I'll do it this time or twice."
Brother Jiu said: "There is frost in the morning and the bluestone is slippery. I will not feel at ease when you enter the palace."
Shu Shu said: "I should be coming over. I'll see the empress tomorrow to say hello, and I'll probably give you some instructions."
Today is August 30th, the day to enter the palace to pay your respects.
However, the Queen Mother only returned to the palace at noon today, so no one would wait there uninterested.
The next time I say hello will be the fifth day of September.
But this is the time to greet Prince Fujin outside the palace, and the concubines in the palace will also have to pay their respects tomorrow morning.
When the Queen Mother met Concubine Yi, she would inevitably think of the current situation of Wu Fujin and Shu Shu, and would give Shu Shu grace to avoid going to the palace to pay her respects.
When they were settled in the evening and only the couple were left, Brother Jiu did not bother to talk about what he had seen on the road and mentioned his hidden worries to Shu Shu.
"It seems that I still can't have too much leisure. I have to find a way to accumulate merit. Just pay for it in my stomach. The younger one is the younger one. Akdan and Fengsheng are only half an hour apart. In the future, their titles will be too far apart, which will definitely hurt the brotherhood.
point."
Shu Shu looked at Brother Jiu, a little surprised, and said, "Why did you think of this?"
This is Shu Shu's biggest worry after giving birth to three children two years ago.
But in the future, you can only figure it out yourself. The eldest son is different. This is the current rule.
Take the mistress and mistress in the Dutong Mansion for example. At first, the two brothers were legitimate sons who did not inherit the title. But later, when the mistress got a title, there was a gap between the future of the mistress and the mistress.
Unless Xiao Si accumulates meritorious service and is awarded a title in the future, the distance between their children and grandchildren will become further and further apart.
Ninth Brother, on the contrary, I didn’t worry about this before.
Brother Jiu thought for a while and said: "The two brothers grew up together, and they are inseparable from each other. But when they grow up and have a family, it will be difficult for them to have their own little family and plans."
The reason why the prince and the eldest brother are at odds with each other today is because of the people around them over the years.
Everyone has selfish motives.
The fourteenth elder brother resents and complains about the fourth elder brother, his own brother, because the fourth elder brother is the biggest obstacle in the future of the fourteenth elder brother.
At first, he didn't care about his title, so he didn't feel jealous because his fifth brother was the eldest son of his mother-in-law. Later, when he started to care about his title, he only wanted to work hard to accumulate merit. He never felt that his fifth brother was an obstacle.
The fourteenth elder brother has a sharp temper and obviously doesn't think so.
Shu Shu said: "I am only twenty. According to the life expectancy of eighty, I still have one more spring and autumn. By then, a prince will not be able to save enough."
Brother Jiu looked at Shu Shu and whispered: "Emperor and courtiers, and the clan is no exception. Being a prince is different from being an uncle to the king. The achievements I have accumulated now are real, Khan Ama
I won’t treat you badly. If it were someone else, the errands would come and go.”
Shu Shu noticed something was wrong and said, "What accident happened on the road? I have a lot on my mind."
Brother Jiu started with the red deer and lamb given to him by King Wengniute, and then mentioned the prince's small banquet and the punishments he received in the dining room.
After hearing this, Shu Shu felt short of breath and tight in her chest.
She was originally lying on her side, but now she turned over and sat up.
Brother Jiu saw this and hurriedly followed him, asking with concern: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Shu Shu saw his worried face and said, "I'm a little thirsty..."
After hearing this, Brother Jiu got off the kang and poured warm water for Shu Shu.
Shu Shu took it and drank it to feel better.
Brother Jiu put down the cup, looked at Shu Shu, and said hesitantly: "Are you angry? Don't be upset. Those people who dared to treat the emperor's grandmother indifferently were punished. They were not directly beaten to death, but they returned to the capital alive.
Less than half.”
Shu Shu was annoyed, but only half of it was because of the Empress Dowager, and most of it was because of Brother Jiu.
Shu Shu didn't want to get angry, so she nodded along with Brother Ninth's words and said, "I feel a little uncomfortable. The Imperial Grandmother acts in a low-key manner and is the most impatient of being talked about. Knowing this, she definitely feels unhappy in her heart."
Because of his thirteenth elder brother, Shu Shu was kind to the two princesses born to his concubine Min. When he was in Rehe, he was also kind to the little prince Wengniute.
But when Brother Jiu was looked down upon, Shu Shu immediately disliked that person.
Even with Thirteenth Brother, Shu Shu is missing some filters.
She knew something was wrong with her and tried to stabilize her emotions.
Maybe it’s because of my pregnancy that my emotions are more obvious than usual.
Even the moment he heard about this, Shu Shu had an idea, whether he should make some plans and become a yellow bird.
In the eyes of the world, the pattern of winning the heir is unpredictable, but for Shu Shu, it is clear.
If I were to be an oriole and hide behind Brother Si, would there be any possibility?
Brother Jiu took Shu Shu to lie down again and said, "Don't worry, Khan Ama's filial piety is not adulterated. This time, no one will dare to despise the imperial grandmother again."
It is unbelievable that the people in the Imperial Kitchen would dare to act like this.
On the surface, he is flattering the prince, but just looking at the prince's situation in the past few years, there is a hidden secret.
Because of this matter, the ninth elder brother thought of the eldest elder brother's wine bag and said to Shu Shu: "I don't want to think too much, but I can't help thinking too much, and I'm afraid that others will deliberately draw suspicion to the eldest brother. Over there in the imperial dining room
The Wuya family and the Wei family have been in business for several generations, and the Ma family and the Zhang family have been prominent for 20 to 30 years. They are the most complicated yamen under the Ministry of Internal Affairs..."
If the mastermind who framed the prince is not the eldest brother, then who is it?
Are the fourth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother innocent?
Brother Ninth babbled and sighed: "Now I suspect my neighbor of stealing an axe. It seems that no one is right. I don't believe in my own judgment anymore. Except for Fifth Brother and Lao Shi, I can't trust anyone..."
Shu Shu praised: "It is essential to be on guard against others. I am the pillar of support, and with such a big family behind me, I should be careful no matter how careful I am..."
