   Chapter 113 Brothers

   In less than a moment, the eldest prince came.

   Several brothers, got up together to greet them.

   The eldest prince looked natural. He is the eldest son most loved by the father and the eldest brother of his younger brothers. The brothers should also give him a few points.

   "I thought eldest brother would stay in Wenhua Hall, but I didn't expect to come so soon." Li Jingjun smiled, but he couldn't hear the slightest sarcasm.

   The eldest prince raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I originally wanted to dine with the royal father, but you sent someone to tell me that I would like to dine with my brothers. It's rare for the five of us to gather today, and it just happened to be quite lively."

  The eldest prince quickly took his seat and asked the fourth prince's knees with concern.

  The fourth prince was a little embarrassed: "It's nothing serious, I've been kneeling for a long time, and I've been slightly bruised. Just apply the wound medicine for a few days."

   The eldest prince smiled and patted the fourth prince on the shoulder: "It's fine if there is no serious problem."

He also said to Li Jing and Li Hao: "The matter of sending the appointment made the father and grandmother unhappy, and the emperor's grandmother fell ill. Even if you two feel a little wronged in your heart, don't mention it again in the future. Brothers are like siblings, Don't ruin your brotherhood for little things."

   The eldest prince is a bit arrogant and domineering, but he also has the demeanor of an eldest brother.

  Li Hao responded immediately with a smile.

  Li Jing also smiled and nodded slightly: "Brother is right."

   In all fairness, the eldest prince is not a villain. It was because of Emperor Yongjia's favor that he was arrogant and arrogant. Having said that, anyone who is so favored will be a little arrogant.

   Of course, it may also be because the eldest prince and him in the previous life died too early, before the father and emperor struggled and hesitated between the eldest son and the son-in-law, the two brothers died on the battlefield one after the other. In the end, Li Hao easily picked the peaches and became the prince.

   All kinds of past lives, don't think about it any more.

   Who can have the last laugh in this life depends on each person's ability.

   Li Jing was so good at talking, but the first prince was a little surprised.

   The younger brothers were unconvinced by his elder brother. Especially the second prince, as a direct descendant, he has the pride of a direct son. The two of them have been competing since childhood, and they don't like each other.

   From time to time he would press the second prince on the head, and the second prince would fight back with words from time to time. Why does the second prince seem to have changed his temper today?

  Li Jing pretended not to see the surprise in the eyes of the eldest prince, and greeted everyone for dinner with a smile.

   During this lunch, the five brothers chatted and laughed, and they were very harmonious.

  …

"...Several His Royal Highnesses sat in one place, talking and laughing, without the slightest estrangement." Eunuch Liu reported with a smile: "His Royal Highness proposed to drink, and the Second Highness, the Third Highness, and the Fourth Highness all drank some. The Fifth Highness is a little younger, I can't drink alcohol, but I use a bowl of rice more than usual."

  Emperor Yongjia listened, and his mood that had been gloomy for many days finally turned clear, and a smile flashed in his dragon eyes: "How dare these **** drink at noon."

Eunuch Liu is so smart, how could he not see Emperor Yongjia's gratification, he said with a smile: "The slaves are bold and talkative. Brothers are like brothers, broken bones are connected to tendons. Even if they are a little unhappy, a few glasses of wine are imported, It's all relieved. Several His Royal Highnesses are so harmonious and loving, the servants are also happy."

   These words are not too pleasant to hear.

  Emperor Yongjia was delighted and waved his hand to reward Eunuch Liu.

   Eunuch Liu unexpectedly made a small fortune and felt happy. When he exited the hall, he called a small servant and whispered a few words. The little maid nodded and quietly went to the Jiaofang Hall.

   I don't know what this little waiter said to Queen Qiao.

   In the evening of the same day, Queen Qiao came to the Wenhua Hall in person and asked to see Emperor Yongjia.

  Emperor Yongjia actually regretted that he had too much trouble with Queen Qiao that day. Queen Qiao took the initiative to ask for peace, and when Emperor Yongjia had a step, he went down.

"The concubine came to apologize to the emperor today." Queen Qiao bowed her face with shame: "On that day, the concubine had a bad heart and argued a few words with the emperor. The emperor was so angry that he walked away. These few days, Every time I think about it, I feel ashamed."

   "The emperor is busy with political affairs, and he has to recruit and train troops to prepare rations for the war. He is very laborious. The concubines can't even manage the harem. It's the concubine's fault that makes the emperor worry about it."

   "I implore the emperor to forgive the concubine this time."

Emperor Yongjia stretched his brows and lifted Queen Qiao with his own hands: "The queen is flat. It's not all your fault for what happened that day. I was too impatient, so I blamed you. You have grievances in your heart and stabbed me a few times. I couldn't put my face down either, so I left in anger."

   paused, then said: "It's already like this, no matter how much you talk about it, it's useless. The mother is old, and occasionally makes some confusion. I'm a son, so I can't help but be considerate. The queen also takes care of one or two."

   Queen Qiao replied in a warm voice, "The emperor's words are serious. As daughters-in-law, it is only natural for a concubine to be filial to her mother-in-law, so why should you take care of it?"

   was disgusted in his heart.

   Empress Dowager Zhao became more and more willful and eccentric, which was condoned by Emperor Yongjia. It's a pity that she still has to give in respectfully, and can't show any dissatisfaction.

  Otherwise, it would be unfilial and would offend the filial Yongjia Emperor.

   She, the queen, looked at the scenery and felt aggrieved, and only she knew it.

  …

   This night, Emperor Yongjia stayed in Jiaofang Hall.

  The emperor and the queen were reconciled as before, the princes were in harmony and love, and the atmosphere in the palace was unprecedentedly harmonious.

   However, Concubine Qin's life was not easy.

  When the fourth prince went to the court, Concubine Qin went to Shouning Palace to accompany the Queen Mother Zhao every day. Emperor Yongjia often came to greet Empress Dowager Zhao, but he was very indifferent to Concubine Qin.

   No matter how Concubine Qin accompanies Xiao to show her tenderness and care, Emperor Yongjia is as cold as iron, not at all soft-hearted.

   In addition to the previous foot restraint, after all, Emperor Yongjia hadn't stepped into Concubine Qin's palace for almost a month.

   Qin Fei's heart is as bitter as a yellow lotus. In front of Empress Dowager Zhao, she did not dare to show half of it, and she cheered up every day to make Empress Dowager Zhao happy.

   Empress Dowager Zhao occasionally recited in front of Emperor Yongjia: "Your Majesty, when you have time, go to Concubine Qin's palace to sit."

  Emperor Yongjia smiled casually and said, "I often come to greet my mother, and every time Concubine Qin is there, it's not that I can't see you, so what are you doing in the palace of Concubine Qin."

  What's the use of meeting, if you are willing to go to sleep.

   After Empress Zhao favored Concubine Qin, I couldn't say such words!

   Empress Dowager Zhao privately scolded Concubine Qin: "You too, please accompany the emperor well, and it's okay to coax it. Men are not like that."

   Concubine Qin blushed with shame.

   After two days, Yongjia Emperor came to Shouning Palace again.

   Empress Dowager Zhao winked at Concubine Qin, and Concubine Qin raised a smile and walked to Emperor Yongjia to salute: "I have seen the emperor before."

  Emperor Yongjia's eyes swept away lightly, but he did not reach out to support him as he did in the past: "Concubine Qin is free from the ceremony."

After   , Emperor Yongjia talked to Empress Dowager Zhao, ignoring Concubine Qin at all.

   Concubine Qin touched a grey nose.
