Chapter 800 Black Heart (Walling for monthly votes)
Maybe it was a holiday today, maybe the dish "Family Portrait" was too refreshing, and Kangxi was in a good mood.
When he looked at the eighth prince, he was a little more patient.
If you don't criticize anything else, this son is also good at both civil and military affairs, and he can be regarded as an outstanding figure among the princes.
There is no perfect person in this world.
"Khan Ama..."
The eighth prince was holding the wine glass with a somewhat nervous look on his face and a cautious look in his eyes.
When Kangxi saw this, his heart softened. He also raised his wine glass and said, "Have a good time tomorrow and don't let your eldest brother and third brother pull you too far..."
"Um!"
The eighth elder brother's eyes lit up and he said: "My son will definitely think of all the virtuous people!"
Kangxi nodded and drank a glass of wine.
The eighth prince endured his excitement and retreated.
Ever since Fujin contradicted the Queen Mother in Ningshou Palace last year, the emperor's father has always been critical and disgusted.
Now, the ice and snow are melting.
Can the story about Fujin be turned over?
He glanced at the eldest elder brother and the third elder brother, and then at the fifth elder brother and the seventh elder brother.
When a prince lowers his flag, he does not do so alone.
If we go by the order, the ninth elder brother is Zhenglan Qi.
Thinking of this, Eighth Prince was startled.
He also thought about this last year and was happy to see it come to fruition.
My mood is a little complicated right now.
If Ninth Brother really sets the blue flag, who is the leader and who is second among the brothers?
He bowed his head and saw that the fourteenth elder brother had already taken the last bite of his bowl of "family portrait" and even drank the sugar water.
Peach flesh is the most delicious, grapes are also good, oranges are third, and cherries just look good but taste more ordinary.
It's crisp and refreshing, similar to cantaloupe meat, and it's actually cucumber balls. It's quite delicious together with these.
Seeing the Thirteenth Brother going to make a toast, the Fourteenth Brother looked at the brothers at the table.
Fifth Brother ate with a smile on his face, and looked like there was nothing left.
Brother Seven moves slower, but he keeps moving.
The third brother was faster and had already put down his bowl.
On the other hand, the eldest brother, who probably doesn’t like sweet things, ate a spoonful and put it down.
After the thirteenth elder brother finished the toast, the fourteenth elder brother got up.
He is here, only twelve years old, and the wine in his cup is the same as that of Thirteenth Brother, which is not intoxicating.
He walked forward with it, like a proud little cock, and said proudly: "Khan Ama, my son tried the six-force bow this morning and can control the string!"
Kangxi looked at his arm and frowned: "How many arrows were shot?"
Brother Fourteen smiled and said: "Just two arrows, Brother Thirteen is watching, don't tell me to shoot more..."
Kangxi's expression softened slightly and he said: "Don't act too hastily, but proceed step by step, otherwise you will injure your muscles and bones and the gain will outweigh the loss."
The fourteenth elder brother patted his arm and said: "Don't worry, my son wants to be the number one Batulu in Manchuria, and he will not commit the problem of 'cultivating the seedlings to encourage them to grow'!"
Kangxi hummed and said, "I see you are guilty of talking nonsense!"
"Khan Ama..."
The fourteenth elder brother quit his job and puffed out his chest and said: "Who is as old as my son, who can compete with him? Whether it is Buku or cavalry shooting, my son dares to challenge him alone!"
Kangxi could not see that he was proud and said: "There is a world outside the sky, ask your brothers, when you were your age, who was worse than you now?"
The fourteenth elder brother was speechless, his eyes looked between the brothers, and his eyes were tangled between the fifth elder brother and the eighth elder brother.
The fifth elder brother gave him a thumbs up and said: "Fourteen is not bad, almost the same as me at that time..."
The fourteenth elder brother silently looked away and looked at the eighth elder brother.
The eighth elder brother praised: "When I was as old as the fourteenth brother, I could only control the five-power bow, but I was not as good as the fourteenth brother!"
The fourteenth elder brother then smiled happily, turned to look at Kangxi, and said: "Khan Ama, even if my son is not as good as the above, he is still more than the next. There are also the fourth brother and the ninth brother. The two brothers are not big.
He is good at riding and shooting, and Tenth Brother is also average!"
Kangxi said dissatisfied: "Can't you compare with others?"
The fourteenth elder brother glanced at the eldest elder brother.
In fact, he was already comparing it in his mind.
The eldest brother is sixteen years older than him, and he is getting old before his eyes.
It's just that he is not a fool, so there is no need to fight in front of the emperor.
Besides, if the eldest brother is old, what about the royal father?
The eldest brother noticed something and said, "What are you looking at?"
The fourteenth elder brother smiled and said: "Brother, don't you like sweets? All the candies and fruits are left..."
The eldest brother bared his teeth and said, "It's a good thing, save it for later. It's delicious to eat after eating meat."
Even if his younger brother is as greedy as a cat, he can't give it to him.
It's not that I'm stingy, it's that I eat food that I've touched, and others bury it.
Brother Fourteen sneered and returned to his seat.
Kangxi sat on top and looked at everything.
When the fourteenth elder brother was standing in front of the emperor just now, he remembered the scene when the two younger brothers lived in Yuzhou during the southern tour.
Not only the thirteenth brother had semen, but the fourteenth brother also had semen.
Half a year has passed and Thirteenth Brother has changed his voice.
Brother Fourteen's voice has also changed a bit.
Seeing that these two brothers also look like adults.
As a result, Kangxi smiled when the fourteenth elder brother revealed that he was peeking at the eldest elder brother's candy fruits.
He's just grown taller, but he's still a child.
He then ordered the serving eunuch: "Give the Thirteenth Brother and the Fourteenth Brother another bowl of 'Family Portrait'..."
The thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother looked at each other and stood up with joy, saying: "Thank you Khan for the reward..."
The fifth elder brother stretched his neck, looked at it eagerly, and said: "Khan Ama, if there is anything left, my son will also beg for a bowl. Don't let the good things go to waste. This is also the wish of the ninth elder brother..."
Kangxi looked at him. He was usually clumsy, but he could talk when he was arguing with his brothers.
He glanced at the other sons again. The third elder brother also acted similarly to the fifth elder brother, staring at the table in front of the emperor.
Brother Seven didn't pay attention, but the fruit bowl in front of him was also bare.
Just as the serving eunuch came back from bringing sugar water to the thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers, Kangxi looked at the "family portrait" with more than half of the bowl left and said: "Listen to the fifth elder brother and divide the rest!"
The eunuch serving the meal responded.
After hearing this, the eldest brother immediately ate up several spoons, revealing an empty bowl.
Kangxi saw this, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
The more I live, the more I go back.
None of them were so greedy when they were young.
They are all Lao Jiu.
Those who are close to ink are black...

Beijing, Ninth Prince's Mansion, Ning'an Hall, Western Room.
The New Year's Eve dinner is here.
Shu Shu and Brother Jiu came over to have dinner with Mrs. Bo.
On the table are dumplings with three kinds of fillings.
Mrs. Bo’s favorite egg and leek dumplings, Shu Shu’s steamed beef and green onion dumplings, and Brother Jiu’s favorite sauerkraut and pork dumplings.
A banquet is complete only if there is chicken and fish, so there is also a chicken stewed with mushrooms, a sweet and sour river fish, and a few side dishes on the table.
Wine was also placed in front of the three of them, which was thick wine made from yellow rice.
There is osmanthus in it, and it tastes like osmanthus syrup.
After I became comfortable with my mouth, I started to like fish and shrimp more.
But she was impatient to find fault. She usually ate fish, either fish fillets or dried fish breasts.
When the fish was prepared like this today, she didn't use her chopsticks very much.
Brother Jiu and Mrs. Bo both knew what was wrong with her. One of them took the fish belly meat and put it on a plate to pick out the thorns; the other took the cheek meat and put it in a Shushu bowl.
Shu Shu ate it happily and looked at the fish head eagerly.
She also likes to eat fish heads, but she is afraid of fish eyes and dare not take them apart.
When Mrs. Bo saw this, she took the fish head and took it apart cleanly, then gave Shu Shu the fish eye meat and fish brain.
"It's delicious!" Shu Shu squinted her eyes and ate with satisfaction.
The eye flesh is tender and tender, with no fish bones; the fish brain is transparent, like jelly, and not fishy at all.
Brother Jiu had already picked out the fish bones from the fish belly and handed them to her, saying, "If you like this bite, send someone to stock up on more..."
Shu Shu nodded and said: "Okay, if you can make more preparations and make up for the situation, little brother will be smarter in the future."
Brother Jiu said: "Oh, why did you forget this? Can you only eat fish heads? Are other heads okay?"
A picture appeared in Shu Shu's mind.
Dry pot duck head.
Served with pickled radish and old duck head...
Speech makes saliva flow.
Mrs. Bo also looked at Shu Shu.
Shu Shu felt a little guilty.
You have to be patient and don't eat chili peppers anymore.
She also wanted to give birth to a white and clean baby.
She had a deep memory of Xiao Shiba's greasy appearance.
That's because Yi Fei didn't eat food during pregnancy and suffered from internal dryness.
Still eat a light diet and eat more fruits and vegetables.
Shu Shu shook his head with Brother Jiu and said, "Forget about anything else, I can't eat it for the time being..."
Duck head only likes spicy food.
Wait until after giving birth, then eat happily...

In the Imperial City, there is the East Guanfang, deep in the West Ertiao Hutong, and the Siheyuan.
This is the official residence where the Gao family lives.
The three banners covered by the inner government all live in the imperial city.
The houses here are all government buildings, with no private property. They are all under the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and assigned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for housing.
There are also some good courtyards, which are reserved for the houses given to important ministers.
Zhang Ying, who joined the cabinet this year, did not have a house in the inner city because he was not in the banner. He was given a house when he was promoted to Minister of Rites. He was also in the imperial city, but in a different place from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Although the father and son of the Gao family work as errands in the Ninth Prince's Mansion, they are still bannermen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and they still live in the Imperial City.
It's just that they lived in a large courtyard in their early years. After Gao Yanzhong was promoted to doctor, he moved to a small private courtyard nearby.
Today is the New Year's Eve. It started early in the morning and there were constant sounds of firecrackers outside.
The atmosphere in the Gao family was not that good.
Li's eyes were red, the corners of her mouth were drooped, and her face was angry.
Gao Yanzhong consoled him: "It's not a bad thing. Hasn't this been found out?"
Li choked up and said: "Sir, I really don't understand how my sister can do this. Our second son must have good looks and good character. He is her nephew..."
It turns out that after two days of private inquiries, we did find out what was wrong with Chen Zuoling's family.
That Gege had discussed marriage with someone before, and it was no one else, but her aunt and cousin.
Cousin and cousin were just hanging out together, but at the beginning of the year when the post was about to be released, something happened to the family. The men were exiled to Ninggu Pagoda, and the women were sent to Xinzheku.
Chen Gege also fell ill and was hospitalized for a month.
Neighbors leaked some words, saying that Gege often stayed at her aunt's house a few years ago and took medicine to recuperate and replenish blood.
Mrs. Li went to ask her sister, but her sister denied it and said it was because of the slander from others.
But no one is a fool.
Chen Zuoling's brother-in-law also has a name, not an unknown person.
Speaking of which, it was none other than the Jin family who were related by marriage to the Guo Luoluo family.
Gao Yanzhong thought for a while and said: "Maybe he doesn't want the second child to get married!"
The elder Li gave birth to four daughters before she got an old son, who was born in the same age group as Gao Bin. Since she was a child, she had been accustomed to praise her own sons and belittle Gao Bin, her nephew.
Gao Bin was not good at reading, and he was not good at riding and shooting. The elder Mrs. Li looked down on this nephew and felt that he was not as good as her precious son.
Now that Gao Bin has become the long-term follower of Brother Ninth, and walks in the main office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is normal for the elder Li to be jealous...
