The princes and elder brothers in the palace are all brothers, but brothers are different from brothers.
Brothers from the same mother, it is normal to have the ninth elder brother and the fifth elder brother, brothers and sisters respect each other.
There are also cases where the fourth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother have a huge age difference, a full twelve years apart.
The fourth elder brother took care of his younger brother sincerely and treated his younger brother like a son, so that the elder brother was like his father. However, the fourteenth elder brother was extremely stubborn and did not appreciate it at all.
When the two brothers got together, they started to get mad and yelled at each other loudly.
There is also the fifteenth and sixteenth elder brothers who are more than a year apart. They look like twin brothers together. It’s hard to see what will happen in the future.
There are several types of half-brothers.
One is the concubine's son and the other is the concubine's adopted son, so they are closer than the other brothers.
Just like the eldest elder brother and the eighth elder brother, the prince and the third elder brother.
The fifth elder brother and the ninth elder brother have an adopted younger brother, the seventeenth elder brother, but because he is young, he really can't tell much.
There are good relationships and there are bad relationships.
Such as the natural opposition between the eldest brother and the prince, or the eldest son and the legitimate eldest son.
For example, the seventh elder brother and the third elder brother have a long history.
The mother of the Seventh Prince, Dai Jia, was also a beautiful daughter of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In the 14th year of Kangxi's reign, she entered the palace along with Concubine De and Concubine Wei. She was a high-level concubine and was assigned to live in Zhongcui Palace.
When the seventh elder brother was born in 19 years, he was born with foot problems, and some bad words started to spread.
Zhongcui Palace is inauspicious...
It was just a coincidence that in February of that year, a nobleman's elder brother died in Zhongcuigong.
In the seventh month, another little prince was born in the back palace, who was born with an imperfection.
Kangxi was not happy and did not ask anyone to take Zhaoxiang to raise him, nor did he arrange for the manpower to serve the prince's elder brother after he landed.
Even because he disliked this son, Kangxi even came to Zhongcui Palace less often.
Concubine Rong was a concubine at that time and was already the head of the first palace, so she refused to keep Dai Jia's mother and son, and insisted on moving the palace.
Concubine Tong, who was still in charge of palace affairs, was kind-hearted and asked people to move Dai Jia's mother and son to the back hall of Chengqian Palace.
Concubine Rong disliked the prince and did not fall behind. The following year she was made a concubine and ranked last.
Perhaps there were inhumane reasons, but on the surface, Concubine Rong blamed Dai Jia's mother and son for the incident of becoming the final concubine.
Every time I meet Dai Jia, I always feel bad.
These are originally the grudges of the previous generation and have nothing to do with the seventh and third elder brothers.
But the third elder brother has loved to talk sense since he was a child.
When the seventh prince was sent out of the palace, he was already six years old and about to go to school.
It was no longer easy to hide him, so Kangxi wanted to adopt him out. Out of sight, out of mind.
The third elder brother was nine years old at the time and was studying the Book of Rites. He had only a vague understanding of the patriarchal system and was particularly fond of showing off.
Hearing that the hidden younger brother was going to be succeeded, the third elder brother came over and explained to the little seventh elder brother what succession was...
Just change Ama, change A Niang...
Amma is no longer Khan Amma wearing a bright yellow robe, but a wooden tablet.
It was not Dai Jia who promised E Niang, but Prince Chun Fujin.
When the time comes, instead of calling her E Niang, she will change her name to "E Ni".
When you come back later, you will be guests, and they will become cousins...
But it was an advantage, because he would attack Prince Duoluo in the future, or directly attack Prince Heshuo.
If he didn't have an heir, he would be the son of a concubine, and he would be a general who governs the country or something.
How can a six-year-old child compare his or her titles?
Khan Amma is a legendary person, and we have never seen him twice.
E Niang has been dependent on each other since childhood, and I don’t want to change E Niang...
Next, the seventh prince went on a hunger strike and almost starved himself to death before returning to the palace.
The words of the third elder brother were also reported to the imperial court, and he was reprimanded, banned for a month, and copied the "Book of Rites" a hundred times.
The third elder brother was so aggressive that he regarded this punishment as a great shame and humiliation.
When I got out of the ban, I found that the seventh elder brother had also come to the study room, so I deliberately stared at the seventh elder brother's legs and feet.
The seventh elder brother was angered and almost took action, but was reprimanded by his teacher and received a "disrespectful brother" test.
Brother Jiu's mentality changed when he thought of these old things.
I didn't think it was a big deal before, and the third child just had a habit of talking nonsense. With more children, it was normal for him to get into fights.
Listen now, it turns out that you have been bad since you were a child.
He couldn't help but murmured to the fifth elder brother: "This is such a non-human thing since childhood, how can Ama still treat her like a treasure..."
Isn't this bullying the weak and fearing the strong?
Why don't you dare to provoke the eldest brother and the prince?
It is also said that he is showing off his new knowledge. The elder brother of Shangshufang does not show off in front of his younger brother, so why show off in front of an invisible brother who has not shown his face for several years?
He had some scruples about saying that the eldest elder brother and the prince were elder brothers, but the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother were always younger brothers, and he never showed off in the past.
The fifth elder brother shook his head and said: "He was only nine years old at the time, and he didn't do it on purpose..."
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily true... If you want to show off to your younger brothers after learning the "Book of Rites", then why do you mention the title or not..."
There is no such thing as the inheritance of clan titles and titles in the "Book of Rites".
He also compared the titles of the concubine prince and the prince's heir.
Are these words casually thought of by a nine-year-old child?
Brother Jiu has seen the intelligence of others these days, and he no longer dares to look down on others.
"If it was intentional, then I would be very proud of it and interfered with the seventh child's succession..."
Brother Jiu narrowed his eyes: "Perhaps he is just pretending to be like this now. He doesn't look very smart, so others don't care about him, and Khan Amma is more tolerant and loving towards him..."
The fifth elder brother still didn't believe it: "That's not possible. He has been like this since he was a child. He talks a lot but doesn't mean it..."
Brother Jiu became even more suspicious.
People are growing up, how can they remain ignorant.
Besides, he is still a royal brother, not a stupid son of a landlord.
He looked at the fifth elder brother and asked seriously: "Fifth elder brother, do you think I have changed much this year compared to last year?"
The fifth elder brother nodded: "Big..." and then shook his head: "There are still some things that are not sensible..."
"Is the one I'm optimistic about better than last year?"
Brother Jiu continued to ask.
"Well, that's a lot better... Isn't it true that you have a family? Your younger siblings are also virtuous, so you will become sensible..."
The fifth elder brother told the truth.
Brother Ninth came to the conclusion and said: "So, everyone has grown up and is different from when they were children. How could it be possible that the third child has not changed? He is already an Ama, so he can still be imprudent in what he says and does.
?If he really is such a fool, why don’t we see him saying something but not saying anything in front of Khan Amma?”
The fifth elder brother had a headache after hearing this and couldn't figure it out. He asked doubtfully: "He is separated?"
Brother Jiu nodded firmly: "That's natural. If he is vain in front of Khan Amma, pretends to talk nonsense, and occasionally makes a few insults to others 'with words but without intention', Khan Amma will care about him..."
…”
The fifth elder brother nodded: "Then he is pretending... Just pretend, I also pretend to be honest in front of Khan Ama, don't hate him too much... Just look at his good qualities, diligence, perseverance, and good knowledge...
…”
His temperament is like this, he doesn't criticize others harshly, he is more tolerant.
Brother Ninth was speechless and reminded himself for a long time that he wanted Brother Five to stay away from the Third Brother in the future.
But he also recalled that Khan Amma might not be happy to see his sons alienated.
He didn't dwell on the others, and just reminded: "Anyway, Fifth Brother, remember, follow the third brother to give gifts, don't give gifts to others, just give books..."
The fifth elder brother smiled brightly and nodded: "Okay, I understand... Should I give a gift? It must be given to someone who is close to my heart..."
Brother Jiu smiled sarcastically, he finally knew what it meant to have a long memory.
Just now, I said that the third child was bad and wanted to argue, but now I have forgotten it.
My fifth brother is a bit naive...
*
When the fifth elder brother and his wife were sent away, the ninth elder brother was very worried and couldn't help complaining to Shu Shu.
"How did the Queen Mother teach you? Fifth brother is so short-sighted... I spent a long time grinding my teeth with him, trying to get him to stay away from the third child so as not to suffer losses in the future. He didn't listen as if he didn't listen, and even advised me not to be annoying.
The third child...this temper is not good. If you are going to suffer in the future, you have to change it..."
Shu Shu thought about the identity of the fifth elder brother. He was the eldest son of the beloved concubine and was raised by the Queen Mother. His status among the princes was second only to the prince and the tenth elder brother, and on par with the eldest elder brother and the fourth elder brother.
With his status and temperament, he can stand on the outside and ensure a good death.
"Fifth brother is generous. This is good. It will save you so many worries and you will be blessed in the future..."
When Shu Shu said this, he paused and said: "I have grown up, and I also know the difference between being an adult and being a child. When I was a child, my elders helped make decisions, saying it was for our own good, and we didn't care whether we liked it or not.
They all obeyed me obediently... When we grow up, we have the same elders, and they are all for our own good, but we are agitated and still want to make our own decisions... Everyone has their own way of doing things, just follow your heart.
We are forced to do so, and both of us feel uncomfortable..."
The fifth elder brother is already twenty years old, not two years old.
When temperament is developed, it can be changed wherever it is said to be possible.
Besides, the ninth elder brother is the younger brother and has no authority in the fifth elder brother's heart.
There are those who listen to the opinions of their father and elder brothers. How many older brothers can completely listen to the opinions of their younger brothers?
Brother Jiu hesitated.
Because what Shu Shu said made him feel the same way.
The teachings from the empress were all for his own good.
But he could listen and obeyed honestly before, but now he listens to the part he wants to hear, and still wants to make the rest himself.
They say stupid people are blessed, does Shu Shu mean the same thing?
If you are smart and think more, you will have more troubles.
Just like myself.
After Ninth Brother reflected on it, he stopped worrying about it.
As long as he stands up on his own, Fifth Brother can do whatever he wants. Anyway, he still has his younger brother to protect him.
*
In the following days, some princes and princes received "gifts" from Ninth Prince.
There was no movement from the Horqin tribe.
The medicine Shu Shu gave to Princess Chunxi before was given in private.
Princess Chunxi did not spread the word.
Therefore, it is unknown.
The prince of Horqin tribe could not sit still.
The Holy Driver will leave the paddock in three days, and they will return to Mongolia.
It's a bit embarrassing. Will others speculate that the Horqin tribe has lost its holy family?
In the past, Brother Jiu was just indifferent to them, but now he just turned them away.
Everyone has no choice but to beg the fifth elder brother again...
