Yinzhen: Become the favorite of the group in the Qing Dynasty where the brothers were reborn

Time flies, and several months have passed in the blink of an eye.

October 1st is Yinxiang’s birthday.

As the current emperor, his birthday is an absolutely major event and the Longevity Festival needs to be held in a very grand manner.

But Yinxiang was too lazy to do so many unnecessary things, so he simply cancelled the Wanshou Festival and went to his fourth brother's house to celebrate his birthday with his brothers.

Don’t hold big banquets, but small banquets must be prepared with care.

So Yinzhen and his brothers were very serious about preparing a birthday party for Yinxiang's 18th birthday.

Especially Yinzhen, he treated this birthday as Yinxiang's coming-of-age ceremony.

As for the other brothers, they should also be serious when necessary and playful when necessary.

People like Yinreng and Yinzhi wanted to bother their Thirteenth Brother, who always assigned them a lot of things to do, but they also wanted to give him a perfect birthday party.

After all this trouble, they are the ones who are in trouble.

For Yinsi and Yinlu, it was much simpler.

One of them contracted fireworks all over the city for Yinxiang, while the other treated Yinxiang equally by making a golden statue for him.

Yinlang always had a passion for all kinds of things made of pure gold. He had previously made a pure gold statue for Yinzhen as a birthday gift, and now he made a life-size gold statue of the same style for Yinxiang.

The moment he received the gift, Yinxiang was petrified.

The other brothers all turned their backs to each other, trying to hold back their laughter and almost suffocated themselves to death.

Yinxiang looked at the golden statue, then at his ninth brother who stood in front of him with a proud look on his face, and he felt like he was short of oxygen.

He urgently needs oxygen!

Can’t Brother Nine give up the golden statue?

If all else fails, carving a God of Wealth will also work!

Yinxiang had a slight headache and his temples were throbbing.

He recalled the gifts his fourth brother had received that year and was filled with complaints.

Fourth brother has already hidden the golden statue in a secret room in the warehouse, where it has never seen the light of day. Is he going to do the same?

Yinxiang pursed his lips, feeling that being an emperor was too difficult.

He sighed deeply, smiled and nodded at Yinzhen who was looking at him with burning eyes, "Ninth brother, thank you for your gift, I ... will keep it well."

This statue will never see the light of day!

Yinzhen raised his eyebrows and said cheerfully, "I knew you had good taste, Thirteenth Brother. Look at this gift of mine. It's very beautifully carved for you. Every stroke of it was carved according to your portrait. It looks exactly like you."

Yinxiang was speechless. It was exactly the same, which was even more terrible.

He could accept it calmly as long as the sculpture turned out to be something weird.

After all, if he is a weird creature, as long as he denies it, then the golden statue is not of him.

Yinxiang felt a little tired, so he chose to send his ninth brother away.

"Nineth brother, didn't you say that tenth brother sent you something as a birthday gift for me? Where is it?"

Hearing this, Yinzhen finally remembered that he had forgotten something, and he quickly said, "I'll go look for it, you wait."

Before he finished speaking, the man had already run out.

After Yinzhen ran away, Yinxiang first breathed a sigh of relief, then turned a blind eye to it by covering his golden statue with red cloth, and then asked the secret guards to move away quickly.

Finally, he opened his dead fish eyes and looked at the brothers who were laughing uncontrollably.

He said with a fake smile: "Brothers, have you laughed enough?"

Seeing his fourth brother also grinning from ear to ear, Yinxiang immediately puffed up his cheeks and looked at him a little aggrieved, "Fourth brother! Why are you laughing at me too?!"

Yinzhen couldn't help laughing, he suppressed his smile, "No, I didn't laugh at you."

He did want to laugh though.

Because he was finally not the only one who had the Ninth Brother’s “inability to attend birthday celebrations”, and now the Thirteenth Brother came to accompany him.

"Cough..." The more he thought about it, the funnier it got. Yinzhen coughed quickly, trying to divert his attention.

Yinxiang looked at him resentfully. He could clearly see what his fourth brother was thinking, so he silently complained in his heart, wondering if his ninth brother only gave the golden statue to him and his fourth brother. Was he doing it on purpose?

He looked at his brothers who were laughing so hard that their jaws dropped, especially his mynah bird!

Yinxiang rolled his eyes and came up with a bad idea.

He decided that he would go and trick his ninth brother someday and try to get him to arrange a golden statue for each of his brothers, so that he and his fourth brother would not be the only ones laughed at.

If you want to laugh, let's laugh together. That's what good brothers do.

Yinreng and his companions, who were laughing happily, shuddered immediately, thinking that someone was trying to trick them behind their backs.

His eyes drifted towards Yinxiang, and Yinzhi said firmly: "It must be that Thirteenth Brother is thinking about making trouble for us again."

He didn't even need to think about it, he knew it was definitely his Thirteenth Brother who was thinking about this and that.

Yinreng gave a thumbs up in agreement, "I think you are right."

Yinsi nodded silently, "I think so too."

If Thirteenth Brother wasn't thinking about how to trick them, his name would be written backwards!

After Yinxiang's birthday and when he turned 18, the court officials began to tentatively talk to him about marrying a queen and taking concubines.

From time to time, the ladies of honor would pass signs into the palace to inquire about this matter from the two Empress Dowagers. The position of Queen had been filled, but the positions of the many concubines in the six palaces were still vacant.

If one could occupy a high position, there would be a lot of things that one could accomplish in the future.

The two Empress Dowagers naturally understood the thoughts of the ladies.

They just smiled faintly and chatted with the ladies of honor. As for things like the emperor's harem, they didn't say a word.

The queen hasn't even entered the palace yet, so it's not someone else's turn.

Plus ...

"Hey, all these married princes only have one wife by their side. Sister Tong Jia, Yinxiang wouldn't just want a queen, right?" Zhang Jia spoke in a somewhat entangled and panic tone.

The princes only cared about their wives, and the court officials could not say anything.

But her Yinxiang was the emperor. If he only had the empress, it would probably anger all the ministers.

Tong Jia patted her hands comfortingly and said, "Let him be. Yinxiang has his own ideas. We just need to support him from behind."

Whether to follow the example of his brothers and only have one wife, or to take in three thousand beauties, it was up to Yinxiang to decide.

Tong Jia smiled and said, "Sister Zhang Jia, you have to know that Yinxiang is the emperor. The emperor's harem is not something that the court officials can control."

Emperor Yinxiang was not a weak emperor like those in history who were constrained by his ministers, but an emperor who held great power and was in charge of both military and political affairs.

He could listen to the court officials' words when he wanted to, but if he didn't want to, no one could force him to do so.

Tong Jia's confidence infected Zhang Jia. Thinking of her son's ability, she nodded in agreement, "Indeed, Yinxiang has so many brothers and sisters behind him. How can he be controlled by others? I worry too much."
