In the dining room of Shangshufang, all elder brothers sat together to have lunch, but the eighth elder brother was missing.

"Khan Ama came to check our homework in the morning, and saw that myna's handwriting was ugly, so he reprimanded myna again, and then asked myna to go to him at noon." Ninth elder brother snatched it from under sixth elder brother's chopsticks A piece of duck meat, seeing the sixth elder brother glaring at him angrily, he smiled proudly at the sixth elder brother.

Eating the duck meat snatched from the sixth elder brother, the ninth elder brother found it very delicious, and continued: "Khan Ama is very angry when he sees that myna's writing has not improved." As he spoke, he curled his lips and said mockingly, "Mynah So stupid, I can't even write well."

Sixth elder brother glanced at ninth elder brother, and mocked unceremoniously: "I think you are stupid."

"Liu Liu, what do you mean, why am I stupid?" Brother Jiu always thought he was smart, and couldn't accept being called stupid.

"You're just stupid." The sixth elder brother was full of contempt, "Only you, a fool, think that starlings really can't write well."

"What do you mean?" Brother Nine was confused by Brother Six's words.

"You mean stupid."

"Sixth..."

Seeing that Brother Nine and Brother Six were about to quarrel again, Yin Zhen said with a sullen face, "Eat well."

Ninth elder brother and sixth elder brother stared at each other, and at the same time let out a cold snort: "Hmph!" Afterwards, they didn't dare to say anything, and obediently lowered their heads and continued to eat.

As soon as Yinzhen and the others finished their lunch, the third elder brother came to the Shang study to look for him.

The third elder brother made an agreement with Tang Ruowang to go to Qintianjian to study with him every afternoon.

Tang Ruo saw that the third elder brother was interested in the knowledge of their country, so he was naturally very willing to teach.

The third elder brother asked Yinzhen to go directly to Qin Tianjian after school in the afternoon, and he was waiting for him there.As for whether to agree to help the prince, the third elder brother is still hesitating.

Yinzhen and the others rested for a while after lunch, and then went to the school grounds for class.

The archery and horse riding lessons of the sixth elder brother, seventh elder brother, eighth elder brother, and ninth elder brother are all so-so.Among them, the slightly better ones are the eighth elder brother and the ninth elder brother.

Don't look at Ba Prince's gentle appearance, but archery and horse riding seem to be a different person, becoming very fierce.

The sixth elder brother is not in good health. Whether it is Kangxi or the husband, his requirements for riding and shooting are very low.He usually stopped practicing after a while, and then went to watch his fourth brother and fifth elder brother's training.

Yinzhen's riding and shooting is very good, and it has become better and better in recent years.Before, Kangxi and Yinzhen compared archery, and Yinzhen was on par with him.

The fifth elder brother's riding and shooting is a bit inferior to Yin Zhen's, but he is also very good among a group of elder brothers.In Kangxi's words, if you bring Yinzhen and fifth elder brother to the battlefield, the two of them can not only protect themselves, but also kill the enemy.

At the end of the day, Yinzhen and the others left school.

Yinzhen asked the fifth elder brother to take the sixth elder brother and the others back first, and he went to Qintianjian to find the third elder brother.

Brother Six and Brother Nine wanted to follow, but Yinzhen didn't agree.The two of them will only make trouble and disturb their studies.

Although they really wanted to follow, but Yinzhen didn't allow it, the ninth elder brother and the sixth elder brother had to obediently follow the fifth elder brother back.

In Jingren Palace, concubines Rong, Concubine Yi, Concubine Shu, and Mingui are all present.

Ever since Concubine Shu gave birth to Elder Brother Ten, she often went to Jingren Palace.Now, the relationship between her and Concubine Tong is not bad, but they are not very close, but they will come here to drink tea and chat with each other from time to time.

Elder Brother Shi sat at the gate of Jingren Palace with his face in his hands, obediently waiting for Yinzhen and the others to come back.After a while, he heard the sound of the ninth elder brother arguing with the sixth elder brother not far away, his little face lit up immediately, he stood up hastily and ran over.

When they ran in front of Brother Nine and the others, but did not see Yinzhen, the happy smile on Brother Ten's face froze instantly.

When Brother Nine saw Brother Ten, he immediately stepped forward and squeezed Brother Ten's chubby face very badly.

The fifth elder brother saw that the ninth elder brother pinched a small face of the tenth elder brother to turn red, and the tenth elder brother dared not speak out. He walked over, slapped the ninth elder brother's hand away, and then stretched out his hand to gently touch it. Elder Brother Ten's little face turned red from being pinched. "Tenth brother, fourth brother has gone to Qin Tianjian."

The tenth elder brother looked blank: "Qin Tianjian? What does fourth brother go to Qin Tianjian?" The tenth elder brother is only five years old, and he doesn't know what the Qin Tianjian does.

"The fourth brother went to study and study, and he won't be back until a while."

Elder Brother Ten blinked, and then asked, "Then can I go to Qin Tianjian to find Fourth Brother?"

"No." The fifth elder brother said, "The fourth elder brother is going to study and study, you can't disturb him." After speaking, he gave a warning look at the sixth and ninth elder brothers who were about to try.

Although Elder Brother Ten is young, he also knows that reading and studying is very important.

"Then I won't go to Qin Tianjian, I'll wait at the door for fourth brother to come back."

"Fourth brother will come back very late, don't wait at the door, enter Jingren Palace and wait." Fifth elder brother reached out to hold tenth elder brother's chubby hand, and led him into Jingren Palace.

After entering Jingren Palace, first greet Concubine Tong Gui and the other five concubines.

Knowing that the fourth elder brother and the third elder brother went to Qintianjian to find Tang Ruowang to learn Western things, Concubine Tong and Concubine Rong looked helpless and spoiled.

Concubine Yi enviously expressed that it would be great if the fifth elder brother and ninth elder brother could study as hard as third elder brother and fourth elder brother.

Fifth elder brother pretended not to hear anything, showing a simple and honest smile.

Brother Jiu said that he can go to Qintianjian to learn Western things now.Hearing what he said, Concubine Yi didn't know what he was planning, let him learn the Four Books and Five Classics first.

Concubine Tong asked with concern what Brother Xialiu and the others learned in Shangshufang today.Brother Six obediently told Concubine Tong what he had learned today.

"Sixth elder brother, please go and greet your mother-in-law."

"Yes, my son is going now."

After the sixth elder brother left, Concubine Yi wanted to take the fifth and ninth elder brothers to leave, but the ninth elder brother was unwilling to leave and said that he would wait for the fourth elder brother to come back.

After hearing what he said, Concubine Yi let him stay.

Elder Brother Ten said that he would also stay and wait for Fourth Brother to come back, and Concubine Shu also very openly let him stay.

The fifth elder brother was afraid that the ninth elder brother would bully the tenth elder brother, so after thinking about it, it would be better to stay and watch, otherwise the tenth elder brother didn't know how he would be bullied by the ninth elder brother.

Brother Ten is honest and honest, and he doesn't know how to cry when he is bullied by Brother Nine.

On the other side, the sixth elder brother has arrived at the Yonghe Palace.

"My son, send my respects to Er Niang."

Holding the fourteenth elder brother in her arms, Depin said very coldly to the sixth elder brother who knelt on the ground and saluted, "Get up."

"Thank you, my mother." The sixth elder brother stood up and looked at the fourteenth elder brother in Debi's arms.

The fourteenth elder brother looks very much like Depin, especially the eyebrows and eyes, which are eighty-tenths like, that's why Depin likes the youngest son so much.

Although Yinzhen was born to Depin, he has no similarities with Depin.The sixth elder brother has a pair of almond eyes that look like Depin, but not like Depin in other places.The fourteenth brother is the son who looks the most like Depin.

The fourteenth elder brother suddenly burst into tears, and the concubine asked the sixth elder brother to step down if he had nothing to do.

Brother Six didn't hesitate, and immediately withdrew.

After the sixth elder brother left, Debi's face suddenly darkened, "You see he can't wait to leave." After speaking, she gently coaxed the little son in her arms.

The fourteenth elder brother was coaxed into a smile by the concubine De, which made his mother's face drool.

Sixth elder brother walked out of the Yonghe Palace without looking back, without any souvenirs.

"Sixth elder brother, fourteenth elder brother is still young, Debi's mother cares about fourteenth elder brother..." Seeing sixth elder brother being kicked out by De's concubine, Madam Zhang thought he was feeling uncomfortable, and hurriedly comforted him.

"Mommy, I don't care." Brother Liu's light-colored almond eyes showed no emotion, "I'm not sad either."

"Sixth elder brother..." Seeing sixth elder brother who said "don't care and not sad", Zhang Nanny felt very distressed.

"I've known for a long time that my mother doesn't like me." He knew it when he was very young.

Don't look at Brother Six as small, but he is very smart.When he was very young, he knew that Depin didn't like him, and knew that he was Depin's tool to win Kangxi's likes and attention.

"Sixth brother, why do you think so..."

"That's the truth, Er Niang, she has never liked my sick son." Sixth elder brother said calmly, as if he was talking about other people's affairs instead of his own. "When I was young, I was often sick, and Erniang had to take care of me all the time. In fact, Erniang was already bored. If it wasn't for Khan Ama who cared about me, Erniang might be..." At this point, the sixth elder brother didn't say any more.

Grandma Zhang was frightened by Brother Six's words, and she said with a changed face: "Brother Six, you must not think so, and you must not let Empress Debi know that you think so, otherwise..."

"Emiang, seeing that I always run to Jingren Palace, I feel that my son dislikes her and wants to become a noble concubine." Sixth elder brother thought to himself, sometimes he really wished that he was the son of a noble concubine, In this way, he and the fourth brother are brothers of the same mother.

"Sixth elder brother, you are because of fourth elder brother..."

Sixth elder brother shook his head and said, "Forget it, just let what my mother thinks." He didn't care what my mother thought of him.To be honest, he prefers the imperial concubine to the empress.

He likes the imperial concubine, not because the imperial concubine is noble, but because the imperial concubine is not as hypocritical as Er Niang.

He is not the son of the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine did not pretend to love him because Ama Khan cared about him, and claimed credit in front of Ama Khan.On the contrary, the imperial concubine has always taken good care of him, neither too close nor too indifferent.

The sixth elder brother knew that Tong Guifei took care of him because of his fourth brother's face.Concubine Tong's care for the sixth elder brother will not make the sixth elder brother feel uncomfortable.She is not the sixth elder brother's mother-in-law, so she will not be too concerned about his care, but she will not be too indifferent.She takes care of the sixth elder brother just right, so that the sixth elder brother will not be uncomfortable, nor will the sixth elder brother be sad.

"Sixth elder brother, are you going to be like this forever with Empress Depin?"

"It's always been good."

Hearing what Sixth Brother said, Mammy Zhang sighed helplessly and distressed in her heart.

"Mom, I'm fine." Sixth elder brother knew that Zhang Momo was worried about him, so he smiled at her comfortingly, "I'm really fine, don't worry."

Nanny Zhang opened her mouth to say something, but after thinking about it, she decided not to say anything.

"It's fine if you think it's okay." Brother Six really doesn't care about Empress Debi?

Sixth elder brother really doesn't care about Depin, so Depin is indifferent to him, and he is not sad at all.Because he knew that this was the real face of Debi.

Back at Jingren Palace, the sixth elder brother saw that the ninth elder brother was still there and did not go back with Yifei, and shouted dissatisfiedly: "Yinzhen, why are you still in Jingren Palace?!"

"I'll wait for Fourth Brother to come back." Ninth Brother looked at Tenth Brother and asked, "Tenth Brother, isn't it?"

Elder Brother Ten nodded obediently: "Well, wait for Fourth Brother to come back."

Brother Six glared at Brother Nine angrily, "You did it on purpose."

Brother Jiu raised his chin and said provocatively: "I did it on purpose, what can you do to me?" After finishing speaking, he snorted again, "Can you have dinner with fourth brother at Jingren Palace? , why can't I?"

Although the ninth elder brother and the sixth elder brother quarreled every day, the ninth elder brother would never say to the sixth elder brother, "Why don't you go back to Yonghe Palace for dinner" or "Why can you stay in Jingren Palace" or the like.

When the ninth elder brother was very young, the fifth elder brother told him about the matter between the sixth elder brother and the concubine De, and asked him not to mention the concubine in the sixth elder brother.

Sixth brother said: "Fourth brother is mine!"

"Fourth brother is mine..."

"The fourth brother is mine."

"mine……"

The sixth elder brother and the ninth elder brother quarreled and quarreled, and the fifth elder brother beside him held his forehead, his face full of helplessness.

Concubine Tong Guifei couldn't help but find it funny when she heard the content of the quarrel between the sixth elder brother and the ninth elder brother.

In fact, the ninth elder brother and the sixth elder brother will also compete for the fourth elder brother in Jingren Palace every day.Everyone in Jingren Palace looked numb.

However, every time she sees the sixth elder brother, the ninth elder brother, and the tenth elder brother sticking to Yinzhen, Concubine Tong feels very relieved.

In this life, Yinzhen can have so many brothers like him, this is what Tong Guifei wants to see most.

Jingren Palace also became very lively because of the sixth elder brother, ninth elder brother, and tenth elder brother.Concubine Tong likes such excitement very much.

In the words of the system, Jingren Palace has long been turned into a royal kindergarten.

In the imperial study, Kangxi heard that the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother went to Qintianjian to find Tang Ruowang to learn Western things, and he was a little curious, so he went to have a look.

San Age and Yinzhen first followed Tang Ruowang to learn Western mathematics, and learned their language by the way.

Kangxi was also very interested in Western knowledge, and learned a lot from Tang Ruowang and Nan Huairen in the past few years.

Seeing Kangxi coming, Yinzhen and the others hurriedly saluted.

Kangxi told them that if they really want to learn Western things, they should study hard.

Yin Zhen and San Age said that they will definitely study hard.

Kangxi said that they wanted to learn Western things from Tang Ruowang, so they simply learned all of them.Although Kangxi looked down on Western countries, he found some Western things very interesting, such as Western mathematics, Western musical instruments, and Western medical skills.

With Kangxi's words, then Yinzhen and San Age became more motivated to learn Western things.

At the beginning of Youshi, Yinzhen and the third elder brother left.

When Yinzhen returned to Jingren Palace, he saw the fifth elder brother, sixth elder brother, ninth elder brother, and tenth elder brother all standing at the door waiting for him, which made him slightly stunned, and then a warm feeling passed through his heart.

"Fourth Brother!"

The sixth elder brother was not as fast as the ninth elder brother. The ninth elder brother ran in front of Yinzhen with a stab, and then threw himself into the arms of his fourth elder brother.

"Yinzhen, let go of fourth brother." Sixth elder brother stretched out his hand to pull ninth elder brother who was stuck in Yinzhen's arms.

"I won't."

Yinzhen raised his hand and patted Brother Jiu on the back, "Let go of Brother Jiu."

"Okay." Brother Nine obeyed obediently and let go.

Elder Brother Ten came to Yinzhen's side at some point, stretched out his hand and tugged on Yinzhen's sleeves, raised his head, and called out sweetly, "Fourth Brother."

Yinzhen reached out and touched Elder Brother Ten's little head, "Brother Ten."

Elder Brother Ten, who was touched on the head, immediately bent | the corners of his mouth and smiled.

"Fourth brother, you're finally back." Fifth elder brother said dumbfoundedly, "If you don't come back, ninth brother and the others will have trouble."

Yinzhen looked at the fifth elder brother and ninth elder brother, and asked with a little doubt: "Why didn't you go back to accompany Yifei to have dinner?"

Brother Nine said with a smile, "Fourth brother, I will wait for you to come back."

Yinzhen looked at the sixth elder brother and asked, "Have you greeted Empress Debi?"

Brother Six said obediently, "Please."

"It's getting late, let's have dinner first."

Yinzhen returned to Jingren Palace, first went to greet Concubine Tong Gui, and then told Concubine Tong about going to Qin Tianjian to learn Western things from Tang Ruowang.

"The emperor also learned a lot from Western missionaries in the past few years. If you and the third elder brother are interested, then learn more." Concubine Tong felt that learning more was a good thing.Besides, there are some things in the West that are still desirable. "It's getting late, let's eat."

In the dining hall, Concubine Tong Gui sat at the top, with Yinzhen on the left and Fifth Prince on the right.

The sixth elder brother and the ninth elder brother failed to compete for the seat next to Yinzhen, and Yinzhen asked the five-year-old tenth elder brother to sit beside him.The ninth elder brother had to sit beside his own brother fifth elder brother, and the sixth elder brother sat next to the tenth elder brother.

Although Elder Brother Ten is only five years old, he already knows how to eat by himself and is not picky about his food.

Yinzhen would bring him some food from time to time, and he would give Yinzhen a sweet little face every time.

Sixth elder brother is also very well-behaved when eating, but because of his poor health since he was a child, he cannot eat many dishes.Even though he is much better now, he still can't eat too greasy, too salty and spicy food.His diet should be very light, so light that there is no oil.No degree of salt.

He often eats in Jingren Palace, and the cook in Jingren Palace's small kitchen has long known Liu's taste like the back of his hand, so he will fry a few dishes for him alone without much oil or salt.

Brother Nine is not very honest when eating, he is very picky about food, just like Brother Fifth when he was a child, he only likes to eat meat and not vegetables.However, he will be more obedient when eating in Jingren Palace, and he will not dare to be picky and disobedient.

He doesn't listen to Concubine Yi's words very much, but he listens to Concubine Tong Gui very much.Concubine Tong asked him to eat more vegetables, so he obediently ate more vegetables.

Concubine Tong asked Nanny Wang and Qingbi to bring food to the fifth elder brother, ninth elder brother, and sixth elder brother from time to time.Since they often dined in Jingren Palace, Madam Wang and the others knew what dishes they liked and what they didn't like.

The ninth elder brother and the sixth elder brother did not dare to quarrel with Concubine Tong, so they did not quarrel during dinner.

Concubine Tong Guifei chatted with Brother Jiu and the others while eating.She is kind and approachable, Brother Nine and the others like to talk to her very much.

Brother Jiu spoke playfully, which made Concubine Tong laugh non-stop.

Over the years, the dining room of Jingren Palace has been full of laughter.

After dinner, Yinzhen and the others drank tea for a while and then went back to elder brother's place.However, Yinzhen took a look at Brother Thirteen before leaving.

The thirteenth elder brother just woke up, and when he saw Yinzhen coming, a happy and bright smile appeared on his little face, and he called softly: "Persimmon pot." The thirteenth elder brother is still a two-year-old boy now. Baozi, just learned to speak and walk not long ago.He didn't speak much, and he didn't speak very clearly. Every time he saw Yinzhen, he would call him "persimmon pot".

"Thirteenth brother, did you eat and sleep obediently today?"

Elder Brother Thirteen nodded, and said childishly, "Yes, I'm very good."

Yinzhen reached out and touched Elder Brother Thirteen's little head, and praised: "Brother Thirteen is a good boy."

Mingui at the side said: "In the afternoon, Yinxiang kept asking me if my fourth brother had come back. He was originally waiting for you to come back with tenth brother, but he got sleepy after waiting."

The thirteenth elder brother said very seriously: "Wait for the fourth brother."

"The thirteenth brother is really good." Yinzhen praised the thirteenth elder brother a few more words, and then left.

The tenth elder brother really wanted to follow Yinzhen and the others to the elder brother's office, but he knew he couldn't disturb his brothers' studies, so he didn't make a fuss, and was obediently sent back to Yongshou Palace by Liang Shengrong.

Seeing Elder Brother Shi come back, Concubine Shu reached out and pinched his chubby face, "What did you eat at the imperial concubine's place?"

"Ate a lot..." Elder Brother Ten told Concubine Shu what he ate while wagging his fingers. "The fourth brother brought me a lot of dishes, the fourth brother is so kind."

"Fourth brother will just bring you food." Concubine Shu poked her son's forehead, and said angrily, "I usually take food for you, why don't you say yes to me?"

Elder Brother Ten smiled and said, "Fourth Brother is good."

"Why do you like your fourth brother so much?" Concubine Shu was puzzled, why did her son like Concubine Tong's son so much?When the child saw the fourth elder brother for the first time, he was anxious to ask the fourth elder brother to hug him.

Elder Brother Ten tilted his head, and said naively, "Because Fourth Brother is good-looking." After finishing speaking, he added, "Fourth Brother is the prettiest."

Hearing what her son said, Concubine Shu finally understood why her son and Concubine Yi's son liked Fourth Elder Brother so much.

It turned out to be because it looks good.

Not to mention, the fourth elder brother is really good-looking.Among the emperor's sons, the fourth elder brother has the most outstanding appearance.

"You said that Concubine De is so handsome, how could she give birth to such a beautiful son?" Concubine Shu looked at Brother Ten, touched her face again, and said with a puzzled expression, " Bengong is so beautiful, why didn't the son he gave birth to inherit half of my beauty?

Among the concubines in the harem, Concubine Shu's appearance is extremely outstanding, on par with Concubine Yi.

If you choose the top three beauties for Kangxi's harem concubines, then No.1 must be Wei Guiren with an all-powerful appearance, and No.2 and No.3 are comfortable and suitable concubines.

Concubine Shu and Concubine Yi had a bright and attractive appearance, and the other had a charming and charming appearance, but the sons they gave birth to were average, and did not inherit half of their beauty.However, Concubine Yi's daughter has inherited seven or eight percent of her beauty.

"Your Majesty, the fourth elder brother looks like the emperor, not the Empress Debi." Qing Hao said, "The fourth elder brother and the Empress Debi don't look alike at all."

"That's right, the fourth elder brother looks more like the emperor, and also a bit like Concubine Tong." Concubine Shu said with a puzzled face, "You say that the fourth elder brother looks like Concubine Tong instead of a concubine. What's the reason for that?" The fourth elder brother is obviously born to Depin, but he doesn't look like Depin at all.The fourth elder brother was obviously not born to Concubine Tong, but he somewhat resembles Concubine Tong.

"I heard that the child looks like whoever is raised by him. That's why the fourth elder brother looks a bit like Concubine Tong Gui."

"Concubine Tong Gui is not as good-looking as I am, but she has a good-looking son. Thinking about it, it's quite irritating."

"Niang Niang, if you say that, isn't the eighth elder brother also the same?" Qing Hao said, "Wei nobleman has a beautiful appearance, don't you see that the eighth elder brother has not inherited the beauty of nobleman Wei?"

Concubine Shu glared at Qinghao: "Can the eighth elder brother compare with the tenth elder brother?"

"Of course it can't be compared. Didn't you dislike the tenth elder brother for not inheriting your beauty? The servant said that the eighth elder brother just wanted to let you know that not only the tenth elder brother did not inherit the beauty of Er Niang." She kindly comforted the empress, but unexpectedly The empress also blamed her. "Why don't you know a good heart?"

Concubine Shu, who was said to be a villain, reached out her hand and poked Qing Hao's head angrily: "Thank you, Ben Gong."

"Your Majesty is serious."

Concubine Shu was too lazy to talk to Qinghao any more, and walked over to play with her son.

"You just finished your dinner, why are you eating dim sum again?" Concubine Shu took the pastry from Elder Brother Shi's hand, "You can't eat any more, if you eat any more, you'll be too fat to walk." Her son didn't inherit Forget about her beauty, she is also very fat.She has a graceful figure, how could she give birth to such a fat son.

Elder Brother Ten pursed his lips and complained, "My mother is bad."

"You are a little heartless, you are a bad person if you don't let you eat snacks."

"Well, bad guy."

"Your fourth brother won't give you snacks, so is he also a bad person?"

"No." Elder Brother Ten grinned, "Brother Fourth is a good man."

Concubine Shu laughed angrily at her son's words: "Old Ten, which one is better, Emiang or your fourth brother?"

Qinghao and Qingdai who were standing aside heard Shu Fei's question, their eyes widened in disbelief.

Elder Brother Ten said without hesitation, "Brother Fourth is pretty."

Concubine Shu was very dissatisfied with her son's answer, "Say it again, which one is the prettiest, Er Niang or your fourth brother?"

Elder Brother Ten still didn't hesitate, "Fourth Brother is the prettiest." After finishing speaking, he added heartily, "Emiang, you are not as good-looking as Fourth Brother."

Concubine Shu was successfully angered by her son, she said in a tone full of warning: "Old Ten, I will give you another chance, please tell me, which one is the prettiest, Er Niang or your fourth brother?"

The tenth elder brother was not afraid of the threat from his Er Niang, and said very sincerely and straightforwardly: "Fourth brother is the prettiest, Er Niang is not as good-looking as the fourth brother..." Before he could finish his words, his chubby face was covered by Concubine Shu. Kneaded up.

Concubine Shu rubbed her son's face hard, and said angrily: "Stinky boy, you actually said that I am not as good-looking as your fourth brother, I really gave birth to you for nothing."

Seeing Concubine Shu who cares about her son, Qinghao and Qingdai were speechless.

Elder Brother Ten's chubby face was distorted by his mother's rubbing, but he still said with great backbone: "The fourth brother is prettier than my mother."

"Stinky boy, say it again." Concubine Shu's tone was full of threats.

"Fourth brother is prettier than my mother..."

"Why did my mother give birth to such a brat like you?" Concubine Shu was annoyed, rubbing and pinching Elder Brother Shi's face again and again.

Qinghao couldn't stand it anymore, and quickly rescued Elder Brother Shi from Concubine Shu.

Elder Brother Shi's face was reddened by Concubine Shu's kneading, Qinghao and Qingdai's heart ached to death.

"Your Majesty, why are you not serious about what you do? What do you think you have done to Elder Brother Ten's face?"

"Hmph, white-eyed wolf." Concubine Shu said angrily, "From tomorrow on, no snacks are allowed for him."

"Your Majesty!" Qing Hao felt both helpless and funny about her own mother's childish temperament.

"I'm not allowed to give it to him, who told him that I'm not as good-looking as my fourth elder brother."

Elder Brother Ten continued to say "filial piety", "Fourth Brother is prettier than Eniang."

"Ten Fatty!" Concubine Shu was so angry that she called her son's nickname.

Next, Qinghao and Qingdai hugged Elder Brother Ten to avoid Concubine Shu's "chasing and killing".

In the Compassionate Ning Palace, the Empress Dowager and Kangxi were discussing about promoting the concubines.

The Empress Dowager felt that the elder brothers were all grown up, and some low-status concubines should be raised to give the elder brothers some dignity.

Kangxi felt that what the Empress Dowager said made sense, and it was time to give some concubines a promotion.

"Huang Mama, which concubines do you think should be promoted?"

The Empress Dowager was not the first to talk about Concubine Shu, but Mingui.

"Zhang Jia gave birth to you the thirteenth elder brother, so he should be promoted to concubine. What do you think, the emperor?"

Hearing the empress dowager's words, Kangxi knew her old man's purpose.

"Ms. Zhang Jia should be promoted to be a concubine, and Mrs. Wei should also be promoted to be a concubine."

When the Empress Dowager heard that Kangxi wanted to promote Noble Wei, she immediately frowned in dissatisfaction: "Emperor, Wei's background is low, so it's pretty good to be promoted to her nobleman..."

Kangxi interrupted the Empress Dowager: "Huang Mama, I promoted Wei Guiren as a concubine for the sake of Yinhu." Then, he glanced at the Empress Dowager, "Didn't you just say that you want to show respect to the brothers?"

This made the empress dowager choke, making her unable to refute for a while.

Kangxi thought for a while and said: "These two are the only ones who gave birth to elder brother under the concubine. The others are all in the position of concubine and concubine. There is no need to be promoted."

"Emperor, Concubine Shu gave birth to you ten elder brothers, shouldn't you promote her as a noble concubine?"

"If Niu Hulu's family is promoted to imperial concubine, my cousin should be promoted to imperial concubine. What do you think, Mama?"

"Emperor, Concubine Shu is credited with giving birth to Elder Brother Ten..."

"Emperor Mama, if you agree to let your cousin be promoted to imperial concubine, I will agree to make Niu Hulu the imperial concubine."

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she fell silent.She would not agree to let Concubine Tong be promoted to Imperial Concubine.The imperial concubine is the vice queen, and if Concubine Tong becomes the imperial concubine, then the fourth elder brother under her name will become half a legitimate son, which will pose a threat to the crown prince Yinfeng.

"Since Mama Mama doesn't agree with my concubine concubine, you don't need to mention Niu Hulu's concubine." Kangxi stood up and said, "As for the list of concubines to be promoted, I will ask the concubine to draw up the list of concubines." Come out and show it to you."

The Empress Dowager nodded slightly: "Okay."

"I still have memorials to review, so I will leave first."

"The emperor pays attention to himself."

After Kangxi left, the Empress Dowager rubbed her temples and sighed, "Every time Aijia raises the status of Concubine Shu with the Emperor, the Emperor wants to promote Concubine Tong, and he wants Concubine Tong to be promoted that way." Is it the imperial concubine, or will Tong Guifei be the queen in the future?"

"Empress Dowager, didn't the emperor say that he would no longer make a queen, he couldn't make Tong Guifei a queen." Unless Tong Guifei was about to die, the emperor would make Tong Guifei the queen. "As long as you don't mention concubine Shu as a noble concubine, the emperor will not make Concubine Tong the imperial concubine."

"Concubine Shu was born in a famous family and gave birth to ten elder brothers. She should be named a noble concubine because of love and reason." The Empress Dowager hoped that Niu Hulu's family could be named a noble concubine so that she could restrain Concubine Tong.

"You also know that the emperor doesn't like Empress Concubine Shu very much..."

"Oh, I thought that if Concubine Shu gave birth to the emperor's ten elder brothers, the emperor would like Concubine Shu a little bit, but I didn't expect that."

"Empress Dowager, don't worry about this matter." Aunt Su Ma persuaded, "The imperial doctor told you to stop worrying, otherwise you won't be able to sleep at night."

The Empress Dowager shook her head and said nothing more.

After Kangxi left the Palace of Compassion and Ning, he did not return to the imperial study, but went to Jingren Palace.

Concubine Tong, Concubine Rong and Min Gui were embroidering, and when they saw Kangxi coming, they all saluted.

Concubine Rong and Min Gui left after paying their respects.Concubine Rong went directly to Mingui's side hall, continued to embroider with Mingui, and teased Brother Thirteen by the way.

Concubine Tong personally brought a cup of tea to Kangxi, "Didn't the emperor go to the Palace of Compassion?"

"Emperor Mama said that my brothers are getting older, and they want to be promoted to concubines with low status, so as to give them some dignity."

"The empress dowager is still considerate, and it is time to give a promotion to the concubine who has an elder brother." Guifei Tong asked, "Who does the empress dowager want to promote?"

"What do you say?"

"Concubine Shu?"

"Emperor Mama has always wanted to promote Niu Hulu's family as a noble concubine, but I have not agreed." Kangxi continued, "She also said that Jinzhang Jia's status."

really!

Concubine Tong Guifei was not surprised at all when she heard the promotion list of the Empress Dowager.

"Since that's the case, then Mr. Wei's status should be promoted."

"That's what I said too."

"Your Majesty, why don't you promise the Empress Dowager to promote Concubine Shu to be a noble concubine."

When Kangxi, who was drinking tea, heard this, the movements in his hands stopped immediately, and he looked up at Concubine Tong in astonishment: "Yin'er, do you want me to promote Niu Hulu as a concubine?"

"Your Majesty, the fourth elder brother is getting older, and he will marry Fujin in two years." Concubine Tong looked serious and troubled, "You know that the Empress Dowager has always disliked concubines, and is very dissatisfied with the fourth elder brother being recorded as a concubine. The fourth elder brother was still young before, and the empress dowager would not do anything if she was dissatisfied, but now that the fourth elder brother is older, the empress dowager is more and more worried that our Tong family will support the fourth elder brother, and that the fourth elder brother will pose a threat to the prince."

"I know you don't mean that."

"Brother Huang, you believe us, but the Empress Dowager doesn't believe it." Tong Guifei stretched out her hand to hold Kangxi's hand, and said with a worried face, "This concubine has been worried about one thing."

"whats the matter?"

"I'm worried that the Empress Dowager will not be able to accommodate my concubine and the fourth elder brother." Tong Guifei's eyes showed a trace of fear, "When the fourth elder brother becomes an adult in two years, my concubine is worried that the empress dowager will..."

Kangxi felt Concubine Tong's fear, reached out and hugged her into his arms, patted her on the back lightly, and comforted her softly: "I won't let Madam Huang do this."

"Your Majesty, in order to prevent the concubine from giving birth to an elder brother, the Empress Dowager prescribed drugs to the concubine from the day the concubine entered the palace. The concubine was really worried about what she would do to the fourth elder brother." Concubine Tong held Kangxi tightly. The clothes on the chest said, "Empress Dowager Ether has the temper, she really can do anything."

Kangxi held Concubine Tong's hand and comforted him: "I won't let her do this."

Concubine Tong straightened up from Kangxi's arms, "Your Majesty, if you make Concubine Shu a noble concubine, the Empress Dowager will feel at ease with your concubines and Si elder brothers." She looked at Kangxi pleadingly, "The Manchu family of Niu Hulu's family has a big surname. , is also a famous family, if Concubine Shu becomes a noble concubine, the Empress Dowager will feel that Concubine Shu can check and balance the concubines, and the Niu Hulu family can check and balance the Tong family, so that the Empress Dowager will feel at ease."

In fact, Kangxi understood what Concubine Tong said.

"I will never let the Niu Hulu family rule the harem again."

"Your majesty, how about you make Concubine Shu a noble concubine, without giving her any rights or titles, and just let her be a noble concubine with no title, do you think this will work?"

"I'll think about it."

Kangxi was willing to consider, Tong Guifei knew what she said, and Kangxi listened to it, so she didn't persuade her any more.If you continue talking, it will only make Kangxi unhappy.

"Your majesty, De concubine gave birth to three elder brothers and a princess for you. If you are promoted to the position of Concubine Shu, then let De concubine fill in the remaining concubine." Tong Guifei said, "De concubine is Among all the concubines, the concubine who gave birth to the most elder brothers and princesses should be promoted to concubine."

"I'll think about it."

"Your Majesty, the Dai Jia clan should also be promoted to the first rank." Concubine Tong said softly, "Seventh elder brother needs to be more respectable."
