When the eldest brother returned to the Prince's Mansion of Zhijun County, he was invited to the main courtyard by Mrs. Zhang and talked about what happened in Ningshou Palace today.
"Looking at the intention of the Imperial Grandmother, the wedding date should be around the corner. Is this... going to prepare gifts according to the procedure of the Babeile Mansion last time?"
Zhang asked.
The eldest brother is still thinking about Fu Erdan.
Among the civil nobility, the duke is the highest.
The total number of people in the government offices in the capital does not exceed ten.
However, in recent years, the Guarjia family has mainly been in Gongpolen. This Fu Erdan is really not very impressive. He seems to be in his early twenties.
Is this to promote the Gualga family?
Come to think of it, this is really possible.
Now among the noble families of the Three Banners, the Tong family, the Niu Hulu family, and the Hesheli family have all lost their positions as ministers in charge of the bodyguards, and their children have also withdrawn from the bodyguards and Luanyi guards.
Then we need to rebalance, so as not to have one company dominate the market or something like that.
After hearing what Zhang said, the eldest brother nodded and said: "Yes, just follow the rules."
Mrs. Zhang also talked about the nobleman moving to the palace: "I looked through the account books this afternoon, and there is no precedent for a gift for a nobleman moving to the palace. But the nobleman is different after all. How to prepare this gift?"
The royal nobleman was not granted the title of concubine, but he enjoyed the daily necessities of the concubine's position and used half of his concubine to lead his subordinates.
During the greetings in Ningshou Palace, the royal nobles also had a seat. Sitting behind the concubines, they were basically no different from the concubines.
He really cannot be regarded as an ordinary noble person.
This time it was moved to Qixiang Palace, and the main seat was reserved, so this gift was not to be taken lightly.
The eldest brother knew why Mr. Zhang asked himself and did not make any decisions on his own. It was because such an unprecedented matter was not related to their family.
Other princely residences will also follow this example.
He wasn't patient with these trivial matters, but when he thought of the cleverness of the fifteenth elder brother and the intelligence of the sixteenth elder brother, he felt a little in love with the house, so he said: "Follow the rule of concubines moving the palace and reduce it by 20%!"
Mrs. Zhang nodded and said: "Okay, I will ask people to prepare according to what I said..."
At this point, she remembered what she was worried about, hesitated for a moment, and decided the priorities.
"I know I'm busy, but other princes' palaces have been adding children in recent years. Only our palace has been quiet for several years. The palace even rewarded people, so I don't have to stay in the study all the time. I also visit the side courtyard more often.
Leaving aside others, Wang Gege has served the empress for more than ten years. In the past few years, she has taken care of the third and fourth princesses. She is not young anymore..."
Mrs. Zhang warned with some seriousness.
Wang was the chief minister of Yanxi Palace in the early years, and was used by Concubine Hui.
In the thirty-seventh year of Dafu Jin's death, the princess in the backyard caused mischief. Just when Wang was old enough to leave the palace, Concubine Hui made the decision and rewarded the eldest brother as Princess, who took care of several mistresses on Concubine Hui's behalf.
Wang Gege was twenty-four when she left the palace and is already thirty years old this year.
If you marry young, you will be a grandmother at this age.
Mrs. Zhang thought that Wang Gege was very respectful and an old friend of her mother-in-law, so she was willing to praise her.
The eldest brother glanced at Mrs. Zhang and said, "You are indeed virtuous!"
The eldest brother is looking forward to having a legitimate son. With Hongyu as his eldest son, he is also looking forward to his second son, so when he is in the backyard, he usually stays in the main courtyard.
When it was inconvenient for Mrs. Zhang, she would also go to the study room and rarely go to the side courtyard.
Mrs. Zhang whispered: "I know that I have given me dignity, but I am afraid that as time goes by, the elders in the palace will blame me for being unworthy..."
There is a ten-year age difference between the husband and wife. When they get along in private, Zhang becomes a little more dependent and does not respect each other like a normal couple.
Seeing her like this, the eldest brother felt a little soft-hearted. He glanced at her belly and said, "Relax, it's going to be a long time, and I've discovered that God likes to mess with people sometimes. The more he asks for something,
The more nothing happens, the more we should be more open-minded. If it doesn't work in three years, it will only work in five years. We still have a long time to live..."
Mrs. Zhang felt this in her heart and nodded, saying: "Well, well, Master treats me so well, I feel at ease. It doesn't matter if the child comes early or late..."
The eldest brother is fierce and strong, and his body is also strong. Mrs. Zhang can't believe that he has always been unhappy...

Chengjun Prince's Mansion, main courtyard.
San Fujin told his guess, and the couple remained speechless.
The third elder brother thought about the contact between the fifth elder brother and himself in the past few months.
"Is it possible that you are overthinking it? When the Dongyue epidemic first came out, Lao Wu really didn't have a good attitude toward me. Later, I also apologized. It was normal. I didn't see anything different."
Sanfujin said: "The fifth master has a gentle temper and is not vindictive. He probably has figured it out. This epidemic is not what we want. It is a natural disaster. Our government has made some mistakes, but we have also been punished... except for the legitimate son.
, he also has two or three bastards, there is no shortage of sons, but for Wufujin, they are the lifeblood, I am afraid he will hate our family to death, and this hatred will never be resolved."
The third elder brother sighed and said: "If it is true as you said, then it is right to hate us."
Sanfujin felt guilty and said, "How about we prepare a big gift to apologize?"
The third elder brother looked at her and said: "I can't inherit the title. That's hurting my younger brother's foundation. Whether he can stand still is a matter of two questions. Can this be compensated?"
San Fujin rubbed his handkerchief and said, "Then you can't just do nothing. It's such a shame..."
The third elder brother thought for a while and said: "I will ask Lao Wu later to find out what the disease is. In the future, I will buy some medicinal materials at home and prepare an extra batch... When the younger elder brother is older, we will see what happens.
Make it up to my little brother..."
San Fujin thought about his eldest daughter who died and the child who was aborted during miscarriage. He couldn't help but get red circles in his eyes. He looked at Brother San and said fiercely: "One more time, I will slap me in the face. I will ask you to see me."
What a jealous woman!"
The third elder brother cannot listen to this.
If he could turn back time, he would give his stupid self two slaps.
The death of his eldest daughter, the destruction of his beloved concubines and concubine, left a bad impression in the heart of the emperor's father that he was not good at running the family.
His intestines turned green with regret.
He stood up and said: "Okay, okay, from now on, I don't care about the affairs of the inner courtyard, I just leave it to you..."
After that, he walked out.
San Fujin looked at his back and felt cold in his heart.
If the third elder brother is usually fond of the new and dislikes the old, then San Fujin is really not afraid.
Princess, concubines come here one after another.
But the third elder brother likes the new and never gets tired of the old. The old is still his only one.
Except for this old man, no one else can make the third elder brother fall in love with him.
It was because of this reason that Sanfujin could not accommodate Tian Gege before.
Now that Tian Gege has become the Tian family, his name has been registered in front of the imperial family, and he can't fall behind, and he has no relationship with Side Fujin at all, but San Fujin doesn't feel relieved.
Life for life is what she hopes for.
Thinking like this, Sanfujin called his grandma in and said, "How many months old is Mr. Tian?"
Grandma calculated in her mind and said: "I haven't changed my bath since August. It's been seven and a half months..."
Sanfu Jin said: "Ask the dining room to serve you well, and prepare food there according to my rules. Don't let her lose her mouth..."
Mammy hesitated for a moment, looked at San Fujin, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Master wants to adopt Tian's son?"
San Fujin said with a sneer: "Of course you have to keep it under my nose..."
If he doesn't survive, he will just pay Da Gege with his life.
If he gives birth to a baby, Tian will be guilty and naturally cannot raise his brother.
If she were to be raised by someone else, with how much the Third Prince loves his house and his wife, there would be many concubines in the house.
A bastard who cannot be ennobled for the rest of his life can be raised as he pleases.
When the time comes, it will be Tian's job to sleep restlessly at night...

Wubaile Mansion, main courtyard.
When Wu Fujin came back, he vomited a mouthful of blood.
She was lying on the couch with an ashen face, not wanting to say anything.
If she was given a choice, she would rather die, but she didn't even have a chance to choose.
Little elder brother, relatives from my mother’s side...
They are all things she can't let go of.
The fifth elder brother came back late. When he came out of the south study room, the eunuchs of Ningshou Palace were waiting outside, so he went to Ningshou Palace.
When I returned to Baylor Mansion, it was already time to light the lamp.
The fifth elder brother thought for a while and walked towards the main courtyard.
He felt very sad.
Everyone has close and distant relatives.
In the past few months, he had convinced himself to accept that his legitimate son was ill and his eldest son would support the family.
Now another one has fallen down, Fujin.
The situation of Hongsheng, the eldest son of a concubine, became increasingly embarrassing.
But he also knows that his wife does not have a strong temper, and he is afraid that she will get into trouble and get stuck in her thoughts.
When he saw the darkness in the upper room, the fifth elder brother felt frightened and hurriedly walked a few steps and pushed the door open.
The little eunuch holding a lantern at the back hurriedly followed.
"Fu Jin..."
The fifth elder brother rushed to the Xici Room where Wufu Jin usually lived.
The little eunuch's lantern caught up in time, and finally there was light in the room.
There was a person lying on the south kang, motionless.
The fifth elder brother hurriedly stepped forward, not daring to breathe.
When he saw Wu Fujin's eyes open and looking at him blankly, Brother Wu breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately, he realized something was wrong.
Wu Fujin's face was swollen.
"What's going on? Who hit me?"
The fifth elder brother saw it clearly and was immediately furious.
Don't hit someone in the face.
Husband and wife are one.
Wu Fu Jin is his Fu Jin, who dares to attack his Fu Jin?
