In the evening of the same day, Third Brother's eight carriages arrived.
The eunuch, the leader of Third Brother, brought someone here.
He no longer looked as guarded and fearful as before, his expression was very respectful.
"This is what our master sent from his slave. He said that he had promised the emperor in advance to provide supplies to Lord Nine as an apology for the previous misunderstanding..."
When the ninth elder brother saw this, his expression was expressionless and he was very surprised.
Before, he thought he was taking advantage of his third elder brother, and wanted to cure his stinginess, but he didn't expect that the other party had the solution.
Is the phrase "courtesy reciprocity" that I mentioned earlier so effective?
Could it be that the third child felt generous and did a favor to Khan's Ama, and others accepted his things in vain, so he would get something similar in return?
What big dream are you having?!
Brother Ninth was a little unhappy, inexplicably feeling that he had talked too much and allowed the third child to take advantage.
"Where is the third brother? Are you still in front of the emperor?"
Brother Jiu asked.
Are you two still sticky?
It’s already been updated. The two of them talked for more than an hour?
You must have thinned your lips.
Or hold your head and cry loudly, with runny nose and tears?
The chief eunuch said: "Our master went to the Prince of Zhijun to apologize..."
Brother Ninth: "..."
When the eunuch left, Brother Jiu and Shu Shu said, "The third child is smarter this time..."
Shu Shu smiled and said: "Who can be a fool after growing up in the palace..."
It was an unexpected incident before, so I didn’t think everything through.
Brother Jiu looked at Shu Shu and said, "This doesn't sound like a compliment..."
Shu Shu urged him to wash up: "There are many people in the palace, so naturally I am more sensible than the children outside. I see that I am more sensible than others..."
Brother Ninth's eyes were sticky: "So tonight, is there any other 'new knowledge'..."
Shu Shu joked: "If there is, what can we say? If not, what can we say?"
Brother Jiu hummed softly: "No matter whether it's old or new, I will always be invincible..."
On this night, Brother Ninth had the tendency to destroy the old and establish the new.
Shu Shu's position was a little unstable, and she was so rubbed that she stood up and stared.
But when she saw that her ninth elder brother was doing well, she couldn't bear to get angry.
With all this fuss, it was the third watch of the night.
After the cleaning was completed, the couple hugged each other and squinted for a while, and it was already the fourth watch.
The two of them yawned.
This morning the holy cavalry departed, and even if they did not accompany him, they still had to go and see him off.
Brother Jiu finished dressing and went directly to the imperial palace.
Shu Shu went to Yifei's side.
As soon as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law met, they both looked a little embarrassed.
Yifei also had dark circles under her eyes and looked tired.
The holy driver rested here yesterday.
He didn't mess around like young people, but he listened to the emperor talk about the "Son Sutra" for half the night.
Starting from the time when the heirs were in difficulty, the eldest son Chengrui, who died in infancy, and his legitimate son Chenghu...
Even though I was young at the time and didn't know the importance of flesh and blood, I still felt uncomfortable...
Let’s talk about the elder brothers I raised...
First, he was scolded one after another, and the reasons for his shortcomings were different. Some were improperly raised by his biological mother, some were delayed by the gentleman who went to the study, and some were abducted by Haha beads.
After that, there were compliments one after another, each with its own merits, but they all followed his Ama.
Concubine Yi felt uncomfortable for half the night.
The Emperor did not mention Brother Eleven...
The emperor had ten sons who died in infancy, and only the eleventh brother was over ten years old...
Brother Eleven, he should have stood still...
However, the emperor mentioned the son who died earlier, but did not mention the eleventh brother who died after being raised until he was a teenager.
The emperor did not praise the fifth elder brother, only the ninth brother...
The reason why Lao Jiu is praised is because Lao Jiu is filial to Lao Ama, loves his house and his family, and is kind to his precious third son...
Concubine Yi listened as if listening to a story.
Seeing Shu Shu coming, Concubine Yi called her to come closer.
"What's going on? I heard that Lao Ninth went to persuade Lao San?"
There was a look of suspicion on her face.
Brother Jiu came out of her belly, and he is the most petty and carefree. Doesn’t she, the mother-in-law, know this?
It was like he was a new person all of a sudden, and he didn't know what he was holding back.
Shu Shu knows the importance of it. Just as she told Brother Jiu yesterday, there are some things that don't need to be said, and it's not easy to say them.
She had a confused look on her face and said vaguely.
"My daughter-in-law doesn't know much about it. The people from the kitchen came to report that there was no rice in Sanbeile for two days. Master Jiu was worried, so he took his daughter-in-law there... Maybe there was some misunderstanding. Now
Did you talk about it?"
Concubine Yi nodded and didn't say anything else. She just told him: "You guys should be careful outside. When you go back, keep an eye on Lao Jiu and don't allow him to ride a horse... It's cold and the wind will make you feel uncomfortable..."
Shu Shu nodded in agreement.
Brother Ninth's body is a bit delicate, so you should be careful no matter how careful you are.
Even in the middle of summer, you should wear a vest when sleeping to protect your stomach, otherwise you will have diarrhea if the night wind blows.
Seeing Shu Shu's well-behaved manner, Concubine Yi's expression softened.
"It's your birthday, and I can't make it in time. You guys can make some delicious food later..."
Because the Tenth Prince was recovering from illness and was staying with the Ninth Prince and his wife, people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were also left in the dining room as errands.
Thinking of her daughter-in-law's birthday, which coincides with the Golden Award Festival, Concubine Yi really felt that her daughter-in-law was really lucky.
Such a background, such a birthday, and such a behavior.
Even the emperor will make a note of it.
As for the birthday gift, she had already sent it a pair of fragrant orchid hairpins set with rubies.
Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law exchanged a few words.
It’s almost time,
Shu Shu took a one-foot-square brocade box from Walnut's hand and handed it to Yi Fei with both hands.
"Every time I give my mother's favor, this time my daughter-in-law also shows her filial piety..."
Out of curiosity, Yifei took it and opened it with her own hands.
Inside is a half-pin.
It has a golden flower as the base and an inch-square coral word "Fu" on top.
One big and nine small, there are ten blessing characters in total.
Concubine Yi had a smile on her face: "This is quite exquisite..."
Most of the jewelry made with characters are hairpins, earrings and other small objects. This is the first time I have seen such hairpins.
"Just some little thoughts, nothing..."
Shu Shu said.
In fact, I wanted to add such auspicious characters to the Queen Mother's birthday gift, but then I thought that the Queen Mother didn't know Chinese characters.
Yifei loves beauty, and her aesthetics is also online.
After looking at Tianzi for a while, she thought thoughtfully and said, "You can refer to this or do something else..."
Shu Shu said sincerely: "If you like something, you can send it outside to try it...it's not as exquisite as the craftsman inside, but it's more convenient..."
Everything in the palace must be recorded.
Even someone like Concubine Bianyi, who is the lord of the first palace, does not have the qualifications to send people to make customized jewelry in-house.
Most of them were made in-house and sent to the emperor, who then rewarded the concubines.
The rest will be put into the Qianqing Palace warehouse.
Concubine Yi knew that she was married to Yinlou, so she appreciated it very much and said: "When I return to Beijing, I will draw some exquisite figures and make them for people to appreciate..."
It's just that she is the elder and has no reason to take advantage of the younger ones.
Let Xianglan set up an account later, and you can order some gold and silverware from there.
Not to mention other things, birthday gifts such as longevity locks and children's bracelets are given to more than ten sets in a year.
As the elder brothers have grown up and taken wives and concubines, there will be more younger elder brothers and little princesses in the palace.
*
In front of the emperor.
Brother Ninth was talking to several internal ministers.
Looking at him as if he were a young adult, asking about the arrangements ahead of the holy drive, several elders were also speechless.
Speaking of which, there is no ownership relationship between everyone.
Not to mention the acting Director-General of the Internal Affairs Bureau, even the most serious Director-General of the Internal Affairs Bureau cannot control them.
You must know that the internal ministers are from the first rank, and the internal ministers who lead the bodyguards are from the first rank.
The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is only a third-grade official.
But who is calling this the prince...
Brother Jiu's attention is actually on Suo'etu.
His beard is all gray.
The once-prominent Prime Minister is old...
How old is the old man?
It seems that he is over 60 years old...
After working hard all day, can we wait until the prince ascends the throne...
Suo'etu noticed Brother Jiu's gaze and looked over.
Brother Jiu strode forward with a look of displeasure on his face.
It's Brother Ten who has come out.
His face was pale, he was not showing off, and he was sitting in a chariot.
Seeing Brother Jiu coming over, he smiled and called for someone.
Brother Jiu scolded: "Okay, why bother? Khan Ama will still find fault with you?"
Brother Ten smiled and said: "I'm tired from lying down and feeling very depressed. I just came out to get some air..."
Brother Jiu hummed softly and said nothing more. He only asked the eunuch to put the chariot down on his shoulders.
Most of the bruises on Brother Ten's face have gone away, but because he vomited everything he ate in the past two days, the uninjured half of his face is pale and his cheeks are deflated.
The third elder brother came over. The stubble on his face had been shaved off, and he still looked like the gentle prince elder brother.
He looked at Brother Ten, looked at it carefully, and said with guilt: "It's all my brother's fault. I acted stupidly for a moment, and Brother Ten also suffered..."
After saying that, he bowed down and bowed to Brother Ten.
Although the tenth elder brother received an apology from the third elder brother last night, he thought it was just a formality to show Khan Amma.
Unexpectedly, this person really let down his posture.
He quickly turned away, refusing to accept the courtesy of Third Elder Brother.
"Oh, third brother, it's nothing, there's no need to be like this..."
Can’t you say beautiful words?
The tenth prince looked careless, as if he didn't take it to heart at all.
"It's not intentional, it's okay, it's just a scratch..."
Seeing this, the third elder brother smiled more on his face and said: "Anyway, this time, I appreciate my kindness. I will be of use to you later. Tenth brother, please speak..."
Brother Ten was confused when he heard this, but he still nodded obediently: "That's a good relationship..."
The third elder brother patted the ninth elder brother on the shoulder again, showing a close look, and then left in high spirits.
Brother Ten asked in a low voice: "Is this person stupid? Why doesn't my brother know when he sold a favor to him..."
Brother Jiu smiled sullenly and said: "Why didn't you sell it? If you and the boss hadn't stopped him, and his fist fell on Brother Five's face, would the Queen Mother have spared him? Our queen is not a vegetarian..."
"Humph! Boss?"
The eldest brother came to visit the tenth brother and happened to hear this sentence.
When Brother Jiu saw this, he smiled brightly and stepped forward to greet him: "Brother, hello..."
The eldest brother looked him up and down and said angrily: "What's An An? Isn't he the boss? Why is he the eldest brother again?"
Brother Ninth raised his finger and gave a thumbs up: "You are the first one anyway. It's good to be the oldest. This is also closeness. You see, my younger brother usually calls Brother Ten 'Lao Shi'..."
The eldest brother raised his eyebrows: "No wonder I can convince the third child. He has taken smart medicine and can talk..."
Brother Jiu couldn't help but feel excited after hearing this: "Smart medicine... I really need to think about this. If I really get it, I will sell it to the south. After eating this, I will never forget it while reading..."
The eldest brother was amused: "I'm just talking like a kid, that's not a smart medicine, that's a magic medicine..."
At this point, he remembered serious matters and said: "On the Mongolian side, just stretch your arms... Mongolians are straight-tempered. If you stretch your arms, they will take it seriously. They think those medicines are not for sale, but there is really no follow-up...
"
Brother Jiu lowered his hands and listened with gratitude: "Thank you, brother, for reminding me. I have been distracted in the past two days, and my brother has forgotten this..."
The accompanying convoy is almost ready.
The holy chariot is about to leave.
The Thirteenth Brother rode over, looked at the Tenth Brother several times, and said bluntly: "Tenth Brother, please take good care of yourself. If you lose weight, it will be scary, like a skeleton..."
Brother No. 10 glared at him: "It sounds like you have gained a lot of weight... Let's go back and enjoy the spicy food and see who has lost weight..."
The thirteenth elder brother choked and reluctantly followed the eldest elder brother to the imperial palace.
Seeing the team getting further and further away.
Everything became empty.
Although it was just a small farewell, Brother Jiu was also inexplicably a little sentimental.
This is parting...
Maybe it's because the vegetation dies in autumn and winter.
As Brother Jiu was thinking, there was movement behind him.
Someone limped forward and greeted cautiously.
"Master Jiu..."

I was a little tired today, so I got up early, but within a few hours, the second update only came out with half a chapter, so it was going to be later.
At the beginning of the month, I asked everyone for a guaranteed monthly ticket. Xiaojiu went to have breakfast and continued to work after breakfast, ^_^
