The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

The Ninth and Tenth Princes, who had been silently watching the situation on the side, both glanced over. Since the Eighth Prince did not respond to them, they knew the result.

While the Eighth Prince was working, he was thinking slightly in his mind.

He wanted to stand out, but the emperor had made it clear that he disliked him and even did not allow him to see his mother for the last time. It was not that he did not hate her in his heart, but more of that was fear.

If he wants to make a name for himself, he can only choose his other brothers as his backers.

The Prince of Zhi, who used to be close to him, is not as good as before, especially since he found that his elder brother is not as ambitious as before. Since the health of his first wife has been deteriorating, most of his thoughts have been on taking care of her.

Moreover, the Eighth Brother himself knew clearly that the Emperor had never placed his hopes for the crown prince on his eldest brother.

The reason why he was promoted before was because he truly loved me, and another reason was just to find a whetstone for the second brother, the Crown Prince.

But ever since he heard that the Emperor had asked the eldest princess of the Prince of Zhi's mansion to raise Meng, he knew the Emperor's attitude clearly and knew that his elder brother would not be able to succeed.

The only one I can rely on is the second prince.

The emperor is indeed very afraid of the prince now, because the prince has the title of heir and occupies the righteousness of the world. Even if he wants to depose the prince, he has to consider the thoughts of the people and the face of Aixinjuelu.

He naturally felt the rivalry between father and son. Since he couldn't follow the path of the emperor, he could only place his only hope on the next emperor.

My Emperor, since you are unkind, you cannot blame me for being unjust.

If I don't fight back and find a way to survive, will I just let the Emperor abandon me and let me be trampled upon?

He was really tired of the days of being humble and having to look at people's faces everywhere.

So it can be said that his ideas and Soetu's ideas were in perfect harmony.

But the biggest variable lies with the prince.

By now, Soetu has already made secret plans, but his body cannot wait, so if he wants to accomplish something, he has to do it as soon as possible.

Yinzhen didn't miss the wit of several people. He never liked the Eighth Brother's research nature, and he didn't know what he was talking about with the Crown Prince. He just thought it was not a good thing.

He suddenly felt nauseous, as if he had swallowed a fly.

The Eighth Prince was disliked by the Emperor and had long been out of favor. If he wanted to get close to the Crown Prince who was under the strict supervision of the Emperor, he would have no chance in the palace and could only leave the palace.

Then my own village is part of his plan, and I have become a chess piece as well, right?

Yinzhen frowned. He had been thinking of treating them well. Changning also said that he would arrange a new dish tonight, called iron pot stew.

But seeing Lao Ba like this, what else can I do? Just let him go!

Farm work was quick and tiring. The princes worked until dusk, then went back to take a bath, change clothes, and then came out to eat refreshed.

Today's new dish is the iron pot stew arranged by Changning. Eunuch Ma directly brought up the whole big iron pot, which contained the authentic free-range chicken that Changning mentioned. There were rich side dishes, such as spare ribs, chicken feet, etc. The stew was salty, fragrant and soft, and the soup was thick. There was also a circle of large pancakes stuck on the edge of the pot, which were golden and brilliant. The lower half of the pancakes were soaked in the soup, which looked tasty.

The entire iron pot was filled to the brim, leaving everyone stunned.

"Fourth brother, the food you eat is too wild." The fifth brother did not know whether to laugh or cry. Even the Manchus on the grassland had never used such a big iron pot. It looked like enough for a person to take a bath in it, and there would be no problem putting two children in it.

Yinzhen explained: "When you come to the farm, you must try some special food."

That's true. The fourteenth brother worked the hardest today. He was sweating and his face was red. Yinzhen was a little touched when he saw him. After all, he was his brother. He personally picked up a chicken leg for him. Unexpectedly, the brat smiled and said, "Fourth brother, I don't like chicken. Pick me some spareribs."

Yinzhen rolled his eyes at him, knowing that he was being aggressive, but he still acted honestly and gave him a big piece.

After a tiring day today, no one was in the mood to drink or talk. They just kept eating and finished the whole pot.

Fourteen patted his belly and said, "It smells so good! When we leave tomorrow, Fourth Brother, please bring me some food from the farm. It's really good, with a unique flavor. This fish stew in an iron pot is also delicious."

That’s right, after finishing this big pot of food, Eunuch Ma served another pot of stewed fish, and more than a dozen plates of cold dishes were also eaten up in the end.

Yinzhen was happy to see his brothers eating well, and said with a smile: "It has been prepared long ago, everyone has a share."

Prince Zhi clapped his hands and laughed: "Old Fourth is still a good man. You must remember to give an extra portion to the Crown Prince so that he can take it back to honor his father!"

This makes it sound like both Yinzhen and the prince like to flatter.

Yinzhen looked a little uneasy, but the prince smiled gently: "Brother is right, Fourth Brother, you should take two of these fish. The Emperor loves to eat peony fish fillets the most."

The eighth elder also joined in the fun: "Yes, I think the pickled vegetables here are quite tasty, and they are perfect to serve with porridge for the emperor in the morning."

As a result, everyone began to care about the emperor. Who doesn't want to be a filial son and a good grandson? So, everyone talked about what new ideas they could come up with for the emperor's meals.

Prince Zhi secretly cursed the Crown Prince for being cunning and the Eighth Brother for being sly. He thought his younger brother was very respectful to him before, but now he seems to have become a wolf cub. He just didn't know if Yinreng was willing to take in this stray dog.

After the meal, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Prince Zhi said to the Eighth Prince meaningfully: "Old Eighth Prince, Big Brother really underestimated you."

Lao Ba knew what he meant, it was just a sarcasm, what's the big deal, even Han Xin had suffered the humiliation of being kicked in the crotch, a real man can bend and stretch, what's more, these are his brothers, what's wrong with lowering his head?

The seventh brother, on the other side, was sincerely thanking Yinzhen for his hospitality and talking about the children: "My eldest princess is on good terms with my fourth brother's second princess. She even said the other day that she wanted to invite her to play polo with us."

Hutuli, speaking of his own daughter, Yinzhen's expression softened: "Hutuli just loves to run and jump, let her go to your house to play."

The seventh brother was waiting for this sentence. He knew that the fourth brother loved his son and there would be no problem in using the child as a breakthrough point.

When Old Fourteen heard this, he joined in the fun again: "Then I'll ask Hongchun to go over too. He keeps talking about wanting to play with Hongzhao."

It’s strange to say, Hongchun is obviously closer in age to Hongyan, but he likes to play with Hongzhao who is a few years younger. It can only be said that the two of them have similar temperaments.
