With the ninth elder brother Zhuyu in front of him, the remaining birthday gifts were not too conspicuous.
The difference is that the birthday gift prepared by the tenth elder brother is more expensive, which is normal, after all, he is a knighted elder brother.
Shi Fujin, the daughter-in-law with the highest family background, also showed her magnanimity.
Among the four birthday gifts she prepared, a set of French goldware, a set of Russian silverware, a box of Siamese gems, and a European gold tapestry.
Upon seeing this, Kangxi glanced at his tenth prince and left the French goldware.
This is the only one left among the birthday gifts of princes Fujin.
Everyone knows in their hearts that this is not to show dignity to the Tenth Prince, but to show dignity to Mongolia.
Ninth Prince and Yourongyan.
Husband and wife are one.
This gives honor to Shi Fujin, and it also gives honor to Shi Prince.
This is how it should be.
We can't always be at the mercy of our tenth elder brother.
It is not good to directly grant grace to the tenth elder brother, but it is better to grant grace to the tenth elder brother and the younger elder brother.
Brother Fourteen lowered his head and curled his lips.
A Mongolian Fujin has no other benefits besides a good name and a generous dowry.
You know, the Eight Banners value in-laws, and the Yue family is also one of the important in-laws.
There is nothing to envy.
Kangxi kept two of the longevity gifts from the Prince of Dunjun, which were similar to those of the previous princes, and were not outstanding.
As for the last three bald princes, each family left one as a birthday gift.
This is also expected by everyone.
These two princes were young and had no merit, so naturally they should not receive any favors over their sisters-in-law.
Prince Zhuang was watching the prince's gift ceremony, and his eyes fell on the ninth elder brother.
This kid was also known for having difficult offspring, but what was the result?
Three sons and one daughter!
The heirs of farts are in trouble!
So what happened to "Yanziwan"?
Brother Jiu has four children, Prince Yu has four children...
Why is it that after I have eaten more than ten boxes of "Yanzi Pills" at my place, they are still soft and watery?
Brother Jiu noticed Prince Zhuang's gaze, looked over, and saw Prince Zhuang looking at him gloomily.
He didn't take it seriously.
Just watch it, you won’t miss a piece of meat.
In the past few years, Prince Zhuang has had a bad look every time he saw him, so what?
Prince Zhuang Fujin likes him, Prince Zhuang Tai Fujin also likes him, that's fine.
Seeing Brother Jiu's arrogant attitude, Prince Zhuang became angry and fell back.
However, he also knew that Kangxi was in a good mood right now, and it was not his turn to find fault with the prince. He could only look away, out of sight and out of mind.
Prince An, who was sitting next to him, was looking at the eighth prince.
I didn’t realize it earlier, but now that the ninth and tenth elder brothers below the eighth elder brother have sons, and the princes behind them have also spread their wings, the eighth elder brother’s “childlessness” is somewhat conspicuous.
Eighth prince is twenty-three...
Counting from the thirty-fourth year, the emperor pointed out that it was ten years short...
If Baozhu's child is here and is born within the same year as the eighteenth elder brother, he will enter the study room next year...
What a pity...
Kangxi sat on the kang and saw everyone's expressions in his eyes.
Prince Zhuang had no heirs, but he had many nephews.
It's just that Prince Zhuang is unwilling to accept it.
As for Prince An, we can only say that each generation of Prince An is not as good as the previous generation.
Prince An was weak, and his two sons had grown up, but their talents were ordinary.
On the contrary, my sons have their own strengths and are almost all talented.
Even the fifth elder brother, who seems to be the most ordinary, is also a good show, but because he was raised by the Queen Mother, he is gentle and generous and does not like to fight.
At this moment, Liang Jiugong, who had brought people down to place the gifts, came in and whispered: "Your Majesty, the prince is here..."
Kangxi nodded and said: "Pass it on!"
Needless to say, the prince should also be here to give a birthday gift.
The princes from both inside and outside the palace came, and everyone stood outside Qianqing Palace for two or three quarters of an hour.
Yuqinggong should have gotten the news early, but he still chose to arrive late.
Kangxi's mood was a little complicated, and he became curious about Yuqing Palace's longevity ceremony.
After a while, the prince came in.
Prince Zhuang and Prince An couldn't sit still anymore and both stood up.
They can talk about family rituals with the princes, but they cannot talk about family rituals with the prince.
"My son, I would like to send my regards to Khan Amma..."
The prince came in, strode forward, and lowered his hands to say hello.
Kangxi said: "The prince is also well..."
The prince raised his head, held the gift list in both hands, and said: "Longevity Khan Ama, my son also wants to fulfill his filial piety, but most of the gifts in my son's name are from Khan Ama, so I can only borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha."
Kangxi said kindly: "I have said before that there is no need to mobilize troops and mobilize people, just be ordinary."
With that said, he motioned to Liang Jiugong to present the gift list.
When I took it over, I saw that the folded page of this gift sheet was obviously thicker than the others.
Kangxi was not surprised.
The prince is the prince, and the longevity ceremony prepared by the prince will not follow the example of the elder brother.
When the gift list was opened, Kangxi quickly read it over.
Eighteen gifts from the prince.
Eight gifts for the Crown Princess.
There are six birthday gifts for the prince's eldest son, four birthday gifts for the prince's second son, and six birthday gifts for the prince's eldest daughter.
Yuqing Palace now has two imperial grandsons, the second elder brother and the third elder brother; one imperial grandson, Princess, is the third elder brother.
Nowadays, it is mentioned as "the prince's eldest son, the prince's second son, and the prince's eldest daughter", which is not wrong.
This is about reordering the teeth.
It's okay to pay off the three princesses. The two sisters above are both young, so it doesn't matter if they don't have the right teeth.
But the eldest brother of Yuqing Palace, Ak Dunshang, was already in his teens.
Kangxi's eyes fell on the words "Prince's eldest son" and he felt it was an eyesore.
This is not only the identity of the prince's eldest son, but actually wants to tell others that this is the emperor's eldest grandson.
In terms of age, Hong Xi is indeed the oldest among the emperor's grandsons. He was born in the Yuqing Palace and is more wealthy than the other emperors' grandsons.
But in fact, Hongxi's biological mother was a guilty person and was expelled from the study room by herself.
Even though he knew that he didn't like this child, the prince still looked after his son.
The same kind of kindness allowed him to ignore the little schemes of the eldest brother, the fourth elder brother, the fifth elder brother, the seventh elder brother, and the ninth elder brother. However, the prince's scheme here made him feel angry.
In the prince's heart, he had no respect for Khan Amma.
After seeing the contents of the gift list clearly, Kangxi raised his eyebrows.
Snuff, agarwood, and lotus incense are annual tributes from the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi and the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.
Tianma skin and pure white crotch skin are tributes from the governor of Shanxi.
Yuanhu skin and Hailong skin are tributes from the governor of Shaanxi.
Musk, poria, and saffron are tributes from the governor of Sichuan.
Jiangshan Wandai Zhang velvet jacket material, Hongfu Qitian Zhang velvet jacket material This is a tribute from the Fuzhou general.
…
It's really "borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha".
The prince said that these things were mostly rewards from Kangxi, but in fact they were not.
In the early years, one share of the annual tribute from governors from other places was the Qianqing Palace.
Later, it was divided into two copies, and one was sent to Yuqing Palace.
This was arranged by Kangxi in his early years.
Even so, Kangxi was still afraid that the prince would not have enough, so he also let Yuqing Palace use the imperial tribute.
At first he didn't think it was anything, but now Kangxi was holding the gift list and laughing angrily.
There is no better son than a father.
Kangxi knew that the prince did it on purpose.
The prince wanted to let himself know that not only the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River respected the prince, but also the governors and governors in various places respected the prince.
"Okay, okay, these are all good things. The prince is interested..."
Kangxi closed the gift list and looked at the prince.
The prince looked at Kangxi and saw an empty seat next to him from the corner of his eye.
Since when did he no longer have a seat in front of the emperor?
What else could he do?
He is the prince.
He was born in the womb of the legitimate concubine of the middle palace. He was made a prince at the age of two and held the title of junior for thirty years.
This honor was given by the imperial father and also by etiquette and rules.
He has no way out.
Seeing the prince's unavoidable appearance, Kangxi moved his eyes away and glanced at the eldest brother and the third brother.
The eldest brother is distracted, as if his soul is far away.
The third elder brother looked at the Yuqing Palace birthday gifts displayed on the ground, and couldn't tell whether he was happy or annoyed.
Kangxi breathed out, waved his hand and said, "Okay, I've accepted the gift. Let's all kneel down!"
Everyone responded and retreated from Qianqing Palace.
Prince Zhuang was still feeling sad for the royal descendants, but Prince An was looking at the back of the prince.
No gold vessels were prepared for the prince's birthday gift.
The emperor did not leave any birthday gifts from Yuqing Palace.
According to the emperor's previous behavior, the princes kept at most four birthday gifts, so there should be only a lot more in Yuqing Palace.
This is a courtesy for the prince.
As a result, not a single thing was left.
Prince An lowered his eyes.
Sure enough, everything said in the history books is true.
The royal father and son are strong, and the emperor and the prince will always face each other.
The eldest brother also looked at the prince's back.
The prince's back straightened even more, and he took the lead and walked in front of everyone, without any intention of talking to everyone.
Even the two princes of the clan did not fall into the eyes of the prince.
The prince looks like a joke to himself, but what about others?
The eldest brother was in a trance.
The third elder brother's eyes were wandering around, thinking about Yuqing Palace's birthday gift, and secretly rejoiced.
That birthday gift was definitely not prepared by the Crown Princess.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be so incomplete.
Tsk tsk...
There are many of them, but they are not rare.
Compared with Yuqing Palace's Wanshou gift, my own Wanshou gift is quite satisfactory and I can't fault it.
I can't say that my simplicity has attracted Khan Amma's eyes?
Khan Amma left two birthday gifts for himself, no more than others, but not too little.
As for Brother Ninth, he has two dollars to show off to no end...
As for the eldest brother, I have never heard how he takes care of several children. Why is he becoming a loving father at this time?
The third elder brother slowly stopped smiling.
Isn't this an intentional step on him?
The third elder brother couldn't help but look at the eldest elder brother.
The prince is like a mountain, and the eldest brother is also a mountain...
