The ten princes and clan members in the room, except Jiu Age and Baotai, all looked at Kangxi.
Baotai was cautious. Even when facing his own uncle, he abided by the rules of a monarch and his ministers and did not dare to look directly at the holy face.
Brother Ninth had a guilty conscience and was afraid that Kangxi would see it, so he bowed his head directly after asking.
Ha ha!
He did it on purpose!
When the tenth elder brother and the seventh elder brother threw Buku, the ninth elder brother also saw the look on Kangxi's face.
He also recalled the days when all the elder brothers were favored, but only he and the tenth elder brother were left out.
Needless to say, the eldest brother is the first prince to stand. He is tall, strong and healthy, the young son of Batulu, and the great eldest son of the emperor's father.
The prince was a sweetheart, doting on him even more than his doting sons, elevating him to the level of the emperor.
The third elder brother was both civil and military, and the concubine Rong was also decent in her early years.
The fourth elder brother is also in love with Empress Xiaoyi, and like the prince, he is the most arrogant child of the emperor's father.
The fifth elder brother is looking after the Queen Mother, but the seventh elder brother is so sensitive and pitiful.
He and Brother Ten were the only ones who picked it up!
Now in front of so many sons, Khan Ama, stop hiding, come and sort out the relatives far and near.
Brother Jiu became an amma himself and was deeply touched.
Even though Da Gege ranks first in his heart, Fengsheng, who is similar to Fujin, also values him, and he is also close to Akdan, who looks similar to his empress and fifth brother.
At least in front of the children, he, the Ama, still behaves equally.
It is not easy to be an impartial Amma.
Kangxi was stared at by eight pairs of eyes, so he naturally understood everyone's expectations.
He looked at the ninth elder brother and only saw the ninth elder brother's forehead.
Because the eldest brother had asked before, Kangxi also knew that the next match was with the eighth prince, and the only opponent in the same match was the thirteenth prince.
Kangxi looked at the Eighth Elder Brother and the Thirteenth Elder Brother and said, "You two are about to end up. Then tell me, should I take custody?"
The thirteenth elder brother was full of expectations. After hearing these words, his eyes were bright, but he did not rush to speak, but looked at the eighth elder brother.
Along with the thirteenth elder brother, everyone also looked at the eighth elder brother.
This time, Jiu Age and Baotai were also included in the gaze.
Brother Jiu was secretly happy.
The Eighth Prince has always thought a lot, and has always shown himself to be modest and gentle in front of others, but this time he probably doesn't know what he's doing.
The eighth prince was a little nervous, he was looking forward to Kangxi's bet.
If you bet on him, it's his dignity; if you bet on the Thirteenth Brother, when he wins the Thirteenth Brother, the Thirteenth Brother will be twice as embarrassed.
People outside will also know that even if the thirteenth brother is favored, it is because of his young age and is not really outstanding.
All good things.
He thought carefully and said: "If Khan Amma encourages his sons, they will be happy!"
Kangxi hummed and said: "Besides encouragement, there is no punishment?"
Speaking of this, he looked at Brother Jiu and said: "In this bet, add one, and the loser will pay for it. It's a small punishment!"
Brother Jiu immediately understood this algorithm.
That is, the losing side has to pay the winning side again.
It is equivalent to this bet. If the bet is correct, the win or loss will be doubled.
Brother Jiu said: "Khan Ama, in the previous two games, the banker had to divide half of the surplus to pay for the hard work of both sides in the next game. So starting from this game, this half will also be shared with the loser?"
"No distinction!"
Kangxi said without hesitation: "They all came from the study room and learned the same lessons. If you lose, you should admit that you are embarrassed!"
Seeing that he seemed to be changing his subject, the ninth elder brother wanted to remind him whether it was the eighth elder brother or the thirteenth elder brother.
whee……
Which one is more important, the former favored youngest son of the emperor, or the current favored youngest son of the emperor?
At this moment, Kangxi looked at the thirteenth elder brother and said: "Do you think I should bet on you or the eighth elder brother in this game?"
Brother Thirteen didn't expect to ask him this.
He doesn't want to lie.
Naturally, he hoped that the emperor would think more highly of him.
But he knew that the eighth elder brother only looked at Ruya. He had been implicated by Fujin in the past two years and was in a difficult position, but his ability was real. When he was in the study, he could compete with the brothers above him.
Brother Thirteen's mouth opened and closed again, with a look of confusion on his face.
Kangxi said disgustedly: "Are you arrogant again? Do you think you can beat the eighth prince?"
The thirteenth elder brother still decided to follow his heart and said: "Son, I will try my best."
Kangxi knew that he had promoted the Thirteenth Elder Brother too much in recent years, especially the sacrifice to Mount Tai at the beginning of the month.
Nowadays, there are also some speculations outside, saying that Brother Shishisan is his favorite candidate for heir apparent, and he has only been keeping him by his side for the past few years to teach him by words and deeds.
Anyway, it’s quite outrageous.
This is the arm prepared for the prince. He cannot be kept at the forefront of the storm to avoid causing resentment to the prince.
On the other hand, the Eighth Prince's side has been silent for two years and now looks weak compared to other princes.
Kangxi looked at the eighth elder brother again and said: "I bet on you to win! Don't let me disappoint my expectations. Show the thirteenth elder brother a good look. Don't let him underestimate you brothers!"
The eighth elder brother suppressed his excitement and bowed: "Thank you Khan Ama, my son will obey the holy command!"
Kangxi nodded and said: "Okay! I'll wait and see!"
It's just two sentences, with only a few words in total, but it's very effective.
The Eighth Prince straightened up, got on the carpet, and stood face to face with the Thirteenth Prince.
The whole person's mentality is different.
Eyes like a knife, ready to go
The Thirteenth Prince looked quite shocked. He probably didn’t expect that the Emperor’s father would take the Eighth Prince into custody so neatly, and he was sure that the Eighth Prince would win.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue!
Does this mean you really don’t think highly of yourself?
Brother Jiu stood in the crowd and looked at this scene, feeling inexplicably familiar.
Huh?
Isn't this like fighting crickets?
When you see which insect has lost its energy, stir it up with grass to cheer it up.
This fight is evenly matched, and it looks even more lively.
Not only is this scene like this.
In the early years, the eldest brother and the prince were not in the same relationship, but the emperor's father valued both the eldest brother and the prince. He praised this and that. Isn't it also a kind of teasing?!
Brother Ninth was a little distracted.
This insect fight, not to mention a life and death game, is pretty much it.
The fight was brutal at the end.
The insects that lost the fight were either bitten to death directly, or were missing arms and legs, making it difficult to complete them.
Kangxi looked at the others and said, "Don't you want to place a bet? Just bet!"
The eldest brother still started first. Except for the banker, the eldest brother, everyone else bet once.
The eldest elder brother, the third elder brother, the seventh elder brother, the tenth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother.
Prince Jian, fourth elder brother, and eighth elder brother Baotai.
Brother Ninth quickly wrote it down.
It's still a subtle four versus four.
But in this case, neither the Eighth Prince nor the Thirteenth Prince were betting on themselves.
As Kangxi signaled the start, the two people on the field were already moving.
The Eighth Prince was as desperate as he could win.
The thirteenth elder brother felt that he was looked down upon by the emperor's father, and wanted to suppress the eighth elder brother and prove that the emperor's father had the wrong person.
Compared with the previous scene where the seventh prince and the tenth prince had occasional stalemates, in this scene the two of them were moving smoothly.
Grasp!
top!
hug!
push!
The two lacked neither strength nor dexterity, and their base was extremely stable.
After the two of them moved around twice, they were still standing in the middle of the carpet, far away from the edge.
This is based on the lessons learned from the previous two games, so as to prevent people from falling to the ground and getting out of the circle first.
The eighth elder brother is twenty-two this year, and the thirteenth elder brother is seventeen this year.
The Thirteenth Brother was as skinny as a bamboo pole earlier, but he has become an old guard these days, but he also looks knowledgeable and intelligent, and still has the stature of a young man.
It's just that he doesn't have the same shortcomings as the seventh elder brother, and he is fully focused, and he doesn't make the same mistakes as the tenth elder brother.
Therefore, the fight between the Thirteenth Prince and the Eighth Prince lasted longer than the previous one.
A moment passed, and another moment passed before my eyes.
Their faces were red, beads of sweat on their foreheads fell to the ground, and their bodies were soaked.
The eighth prince knows that he can only win!
I have been silent for too long. I haven't had a chance to show my face in front of the emperor or the princes for a long time. During the day, I still lost miserably.
If this Buku loses, he will probably become a low-ranking prince in the future.
Thirteenth Brother's youthful spirit has attracted the attention of the Emperor's father in recent years, and is praised by many outsiders.
There was a setback in the paddock today, but he was not the commander in chief. He just followed the orders of his brothers and made no obvious mistakes.
In this tonight's game, Brother Thirteen doesn't want to lose.
Regardless of whether Khan Amma is a general or not, he is on top.
The ninth elder brother's bench was occupied by Kangxi, so he could only follow the crowd and stand there with his brothers.
Bystanders noticed that this was a fierce battle between dragons and tigers, and Brother Jiu was still thinking about the scene in a cricket jar. He felt bored and stood up straight, and couldn't help but take out his pocket watch and take a look.
Hey, it’s not over yet…
Buku requires a lot of energy and concentration, and it usually ends within a cup of tea, which means the winner is decided within half a minute.
The two people on the field did not take a breath in between, and faced each other for two moments.
Brother Thirteen's breathing was a little erratic, and his calves began to tremble.
Even the Eighth Prince, with his mouth tightly closed, the rise and fall of his chest was particularly obvious.
Not to mention the ninth elder brother, even others can see that the thirteenth elder brother has insufficient stamina.
Sure enough, after half a cup of tea, the Thirteenth Prince was picked up by the Eighth Prince and his feet were lifted off the ground.
With a "pop" sound, Brother Thirteen was thrown to the ground.
But the moment he landed, Brother Ba lifted him up, making him fall half lighter, so he didn't grimace in pain like those who fell in the Buku field.
The Thirteenth Prince was in the middle of the game, so he felt the Eighth Prince's kindness.
Originally he was a bit competitive, but this time he was much calmer and looked at the eighth prince.
The eighth elder brother reached out, grabbed the thirteenth elder brother's hand, and pulled him up.
"Thank you, Bago..."
Brother Thirteen thanked him.
The eighth prince's face did not show the arrogance and joy of a winner, and he said sincerely: "You lost to me this time, not because of your strength and skills, but because you are old and don't have enough endurance. When you are as old as me, , let’s compete again.”
This is a sweet thing to say.
Although the Thirteenth Prince had some prejudice against the Eighth Prince, he was a little more grateful now and nodded, knowing that he was stepping down for him.
Kangxi looked at the interaction between the two brothers with deep eyes.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little cold, Brother Jiu didn't want to waste time. He was still thinking about going back to the imperial doctor to ask for his pulse later.
He said: "Thirteenth brother, there are rewards and punishments in this game, you have to pay one round..."
