No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

In Huixianju, the sound of stringed instruments lingers in the ears.

The Fourth Master tasted a dish of fish sashimi in front of him and thought that Cha Cha would really like it.

But now that I’m pregnant, the doctor said it’s better not to eat raw food.

She loves to play around. Maybe after she gives birth, after the New Year and the beginning of spring, I can bring her out to try...

Seeing his daydreamy look, the Third Master felt angry too.

Obviously, he was the only one in this group who was granted the title of Prince, but the fourth brother was highly regarded by the court officials because of his ability.

Moreover, the fourth brother used to be a cold-faced devil who never gave face to anyone, especially the matter of the Ministry of Revenue owing silver, which offended many officials.

In fact, if you ask him, just owe it. The emperor agrees anyway, so why should he be anxious?

After all, the Third Master himself had borrowed a lot, including setting up his own household outside the palace, having wives, concubines, and children, as well as ancient books and famous paintings. Which one of these wouldn't cost money?

His mother's family was not prominent and could not provide him with much help. Since the emperor said he could lend him money, of course he went to borrow it.

At that time, with the fourth brother's straightforward temper, it was very likely that the debt would be collected from him, and he would lose all his face and dignity.

Fortunately, the prince was a kind brother and used the money from his own private treasury to help the brothers pay off their debts.

Later, because of debt collection, the fourth brother lost all his achievements, and the third master felt relieved.

Unexpectedly, a natural disaster made him stand up again.

The Third Master thought sourly and asked deliberately, "Fourth Master, what are you thinking about?"

Are you thinking about when to confer the title of Prince?

The Fourth Master came back to his senses and said expressionlessly, "Nothing."

The brothers met when they were leaving court today, and they made an appointment to have dinner together, which he couldn't refuse.

The eldest brother and the prince had no time to play with them, so the third brother relied on being the only prince among them and acted like an older brother.

He was a man of few words, so it would have been better if he had been ignored. However, the fifth, seventh, and eighth brothers under him were annoyed by him.

The three of them looked at each other, and since they had almost finished eating, they were all ready to leave.

It is true that the third brother has learned the demeanor of a scholar. He speaks in a very literary way and it takes a long time to understand him.

It's okay that other people are good at Chinese studies, but Wu Ye can't even speak Chinese well enough. Listening to him speak is like listening to a book from heaven.

He stood up anxiously and spoke in Manchu: "Third brother, fourth brother, I have something else to do, I'll leave first."

The Third Master was still not satisfied and held him back, saying, "Don't leave, Fifth Master. The weather is getting colder soon, and we, as the elder brothers, can't ignore the younger ones in the palace."

"Let's find a day to take the little ones out of the palace to play, so they can relax."

When they were still living in the prince's residence, if the eldest brother was in the mood, he would take them out to race horses.

Now that the eldest brother is too busy to take care of his subordinates, it is time for him, the older brother, to step up and take care of the younger ones.

But the Third Master himself couldn't stand up, and he was afraid that if he went to the Emperor to complain, and then failed to accomplish his goal and was kicked out, it would be embarrassing.

So he wanted to take this opportunity to bring all his adult brothers along, and then go to talk to the emperor together.

If it succeeds, he is the leader and his younger brothers will remember him well.

If it fails, we can all be scolded together and no one will be embarrassed.

He had a good idea. Except for the fifth brother, everyone present was not a fool and they immediately understood the meaning.

The Eighth Master was particularly clever. How could he possibly let the three of them take all the credit? He smiled harmlessly and said, "Third Brother, the Nineth, Tenth, Thirteenth, and Fourteenth Brothers below us are all troublesome. If we put them all together, we won't be able to control them."

"If something goes wrong after I pick it up, won't I be asking for trouble?"

The Third Master was not a particularly courageous person, and the thought of picking up his younger brothers to play was also because the Prince's hat was too big, and he felt proud wearing it.

At this moment, after being reminded by Mr. Ba, he sobered up a lot and said hesitantly: "Then why don't we take them?"

But he had revealed everything to Xiao Twelve. Although he didn't say it was a sure thing, if he couldn't wait any longer, his credibility as a brother would be completely ruined.

Seeing him being so cautious, Mr. Ba felt a lot of ridicule in his heart, but he always maintained a gentle expression on his face.

The Fourth Master couldn't bear to see them like this, so he said, "Why not take them to their respective homes to play separately? That way it will be easier to keep an eye on them."

Others are okay, but Fourteen is not easy to discipline.

If he is brought out alone, he can still manage things with the authority of his brother, but when there are too many people around, he will go crazy and won't be able to follow instructions.

"That's a good idea," the Third Master said, as if he had found a lifeline. "Then I'll pick up Old Twelve. He's told me several times that he wants to come to my house to play."

In this case, the Fifth Master naturally had to take in his younger brother, the Ninth Master, because he was his biological son after all and would be easier to discipline.

The Eighth Master had a good relationship with both the Ninth and Tenth Masters. Since the Ninth Master was taken away, he would of course choose the Tenth Master.

The Seventh Master himself has poor legs and feet and rarely walks in front of people. If he were to bring his younger brother along, it would be very inconvenient, so he decided not to get involved.

Now, among the princes who can leave the palace, only the Thirteenth Prince is left, pitiful and has no brother to pick him up.

The next day, after getting the emperor's approval, the fourth master went to Yonghe Palace to pick someone up, and saw Fourteenth Master jumping up and down.

Old Thirteen stood pitifully aside, looking envious but not daring to speak.

His biological mother was also favored, but for some reason she was always a concubine.

It can be said that the emperor has become harder as he grows older. The mothers of the earlier princes all held high positions, while the later princes would not have had much status unless they had prominent family backgrounds.

The Fourth Master threw away the idea of criticizing the Emperor, looked at the Thirteenth Master's expression, and remembered his past self.

"Old Thirteen, come with me. It will be better for you two brothers to play together," the Fourth Master couldn't help but say.

Now not only Thirteen, but even Concubine De was a little surprised.

The fourth son was not even willing to bring his own younger brother, so why would he bother to bring Thirteen along?

She looked up and observed carefully, and saw that he was really not reluctant or embarrassed for the sake of face.

All I could think of was that he might be trying to save face for his mother.

After all, Zhang Jia lived in Yonghe Palace and was considered her subordinate.

Thinking of this, my heart, which had always been cold because of the Fourth Master, seemed to warm up a little.

She smiled and said, "It's rare that you're so kind. Then take Thirteen with you. I'll have someone tell his mother."

Thirteen was still young after all. When he heard in the study room that his brothers were going to pick them up to go out and play, but no one was there to pick him up, he almost cried.

Now that Fourth Brother was willing to take him, he jumped up and hugged his thighs: "Thank you, Fourth Brother!"

Before leaving, Concubine De also advised with a pleasant face: "Forget about the Fourteenth Brother. He is your own brother. Mother won't say anything if he bumps into something."

"Please pay attention to Thirteen. His mother is ill these days. If anything happens to him again, I'm afraid Zhang Jiashi will be upset."

The Fourth Master nodded, indicating that both of them would be careful and there would be no problems.
