At noon, after several nights of traveling, Brother Jiu rushed to the outside of the Great Wall to meet Kangxi.

Seeing that the child was full of vigor, Kangxi also felt relieved: "Xiao Jiu, how is your body now, are you alright?"

Brother Nine excitedly faced Khan Ama's questioning: "Thank you, Khan Ama, for your concern. He is in good health now. Let Khan Ama worry about it. It's your disobedience."

"Yes." Kangxi nodded, "You have been ill for a while, but you have improved a lot. Let's go back with your brother today, and perform well in hunting tomorrow."

"Yes, Khan Ama, my son will never let you down!"

The fifth elder brother took the ninth elder brother back to his tent to clean up the dust for him.

"Your tent is almost ready, now you can rest with me for a while." Fifth elder brother said.

Brother Jiu said excitedly: "Fifth brother, you can accompany me to practice immediately. I must perform well tomorrow."

Fifth elder brother couldn't refuse ninth elder brother's shining eyes. He rubbed the younger brother's little head: "Okay. Get a good sleep first. When the sun is not so bright in the evening, I will accompany you to practice riding and shooting."

"Well! It's a deal." Brother Jiu rolled his eyes.

Brother Jiu washed up, quickly finished his meal with Brother Fifth, read a book for a while, and obediently went to bed to rest.

The fifth elder brother watched the ninth elder brother fall asleep in a second. The child's face was actually a little pale. The tender skin that grew after the scab on the left ear formed a sharp contrast with the original skin around it.

He got up and walked out of the tent.

The sun is scorching hot, and the yellow sand with only a few grass roots looks even hotter.

"Brother, do you want to go out for a stroll?" Wu Yue asked on the sidelines.

"Well, come with me for a walk."

Fifth elder brother and Wu Yue left the tent group and looked at the fortifications being built in the distance.

"In a few years, this palace should be repaired. When we come here again, we won't have to live in stuffy tents." Wu Yue laughed. Seeing that Brother Wu was still not happy, he persuaded him Said, "Since we came here, there has been a small market nearby. Brother, do you want to go shopping?"

Brother Wu knew that Wuyue wanted to comfort him, so he nodded along with his words: "Alright, anyway, there is still a while before Xiao Jiu wakes up. I haven't had any fun since I came here, let's go there and have a look."

The two took four guards and went to the small market.

The actual bazaar disappointed the fifth elder brother.There is actually nothing interesting here, at most there are some vendors selling leather and various specialties on the grassland, and women in scantily dressed clothes.The hot and dry air is mixed with the smell of men's sweat and women's low-quality powder, which makes people breathless.

Fifth elder brother frowned, trying to hold his breath.Wu Yue probably didn't expect that the market would look like this, so she was a little dazed.The guards around Brother Fifth were very excited, they liked to come to this kind of place to have fun when they were on duty.Although the girls here are not as gentle as the girls in the capital city, but they are as hot as fire, which is quite interesting.

The fifth elder brother wanted to go for a walk with Wu Yue alone, but the head of the guards thought that there should be no danger in the vicinity, so he divided the money with the brothers, and each went to listen to the music with the women.

The fifth elder brother dragged Wuyue to go as far as possible to a place with few people, to see if there was no one around, and finally stopped to look around.

"Ah... how are you, master?" Wu Yue asked.

Brother Wu joked with Wuyue: "It's okay, it should still be alive." He pointed to a wood carving booth in front, "Let's go there and have a look."

The woodcarver was a Mongolian old man, wearing a heavy sheepskin cap and wrapped in a large robe, making people worry that he might suffer from heat stroke if he wore such thick clothes.The uncle sat on the ground, with a long pipe beside him, and everything was placed on the floor covered with sheepskin.The things on the stalls are exquisite, and they are unique animals on the grassland, such as cattle, sheep, foxes and rabbits, wild wolves and eagles, all of which are lifelike and exude vitality.

"My lord, what do you want the old man to carve?" The old man took a puff of the pipe tremblingly, exhaled a small smoke ring, and let out a sigh of relief.

The fifth elder brother was stunned: "Can you help me make a Costin? I want a bigger one, and I can make it a decoration in the house."

The old man frowned, and took another puff of his long cigarette: "Big things need to be carved carefully, and I can't finish them today."

"It's okay, I'll leave a deposit today. You can see how long it will take, and I'll get someone to pick it up then." The fifth elder brother motioned to May, who was beside him, to take out the money bag.

The old man nodded: "Okay, then this master will leave a certificate, so that the old man will know that he belongs to him. My stall has been kept here until Sheng Jia returns to Beijing, and this master will let someone come when the time comes."

The fifth elder brother kept the silver and rounded up all the little things on the stall by the way, put them in leather bags and took them all away.

The old man was very happy: "You are really a bodhisattva, the most generous customer that the old man has met these days is you."

"The uncle is setting up a stall here, where are your children?"

After receiving the real money, the uncle also opened his chatter box, and suddenly sang in Mongolian: "Dead - all dead - my four sons are all dead - leaving behind my little grandson Sun—poor little grandson—following the old man on the prairie—waiting for the arrival of the Longevity—"

The fifth elder brother was speechless, listening to the old man continue to sing: "conscription - the eldest son is gone - tax payment - the second son is gone - Galdan is here - everyone is gone - only me My little grandson--there's more to suffer--poor little grandson--"

Wu Yue put all the silver coins in the purse on the old man's booth, and left silently with Fifth Prince.The old man's hoarse singing voice gradually became lighter behind him until he disappeared.

"Let's go back." Fifth Prince said.

"Okay." Wu Yue asked the Xiaoer in the tea shop to go to those places to find people, and returned to the tent after all the people gathered.

It wasn't until Fifth Brother and his party returned to the camp that they realized that there was no Xiao Jiu in the tent.The little eunuch guarding the tent reported to the fifth elder brother that the ninth elder brother had followed the eighth elder brother to the racecourse.

Brother Wu hurried to the racecourse again, Xiao Jiu was galloping on the racecourse with Xiao Ba.Seeing the fifth elder brother coming, the two gradually reined in their horses, dismounted and saluted fifth elder brother.

"How's your training going?" Fifth Prince asked.

Brother Nine smiled and said: "I think it's almost done, brother five is telling us some tricks."

"Okay. Come here and listen to me carefully." The fifth elder brother rubbed the heads of the two little guys.

Brother Jiu carefully glanced at his fifth brother, and was relieved when he saw that he was not angry.In fact, he woke up as soon as Fifth Brother left.Tomorrow's hunt is really important to him, he can't miss this opportunity to show himself in front of Khan Ama, and when the fifth brother leaves, he will go find mynah.It's just that he didn't expect Fifth Brother to come back so early.

The fifth elder brother explained various skills to the two of them. After all, there is still a big difference between hunting in the field and practicing in the martial arts field in the Shangshufang. The eighth elder brother and the ninth elder brother listened very carefully.Then, the fifth elder brother took the two of them for a run in the nearby woods and gave them a chance to simulate hunting tomorrow. Seeing that both of them had captured something, he took the two younger brothers back to the camp. .

On the second day, Brother Jiu participated in the official hunting for the first time and shot two fat stags.For a child who is only nine years old, it is already very good.Although at this time, Brother Jiu looks like a half-grown boy.In the next few huntings, Brother Jiu performed very well, and even hunted a tiger cub once.Kangxi was very happy and praised him for being like a father.The hunting in the past few days has become a show for Brother Jiu alone. Kangxi praised him because he was recovering from a serious illness and still achieved such results, and the other brothers were unwilling to compete with his younger brother who had just recovered , so as not to fall into the trap.

In an atmosphere of fatherly kindness and filial piety, the group returned to the Forbidden City.

The elder brother Yinti also welcomed his fourth daughter.This daughter was born on July 21st, when the elder brother was still hunting with Kangxi outside the Great Wall.Dafujin Ergen felt that Luo Shi was almost desperate. Ever since she entered the house, the eldest elder brother had doted on her alone, and her belly was not bad, but it was a pity that only daughters were born.It's not that she dislikes her little princess, it's just that women have a harder life in this world than men.And the crown prince's side Fujin Li Jiashi has given birth to a little brother. Although the little brother is not in good health, he is still healthy and lively. She is really sorry for the big brother.

Yinti saw that when her youngest daughter came into the house to visit Irgenjueluo, she had a sad face.When she saw that it was Big Brother who came, she put on a smiling face again.

The elder brother hugged Da Fujin into his arms: "If you don't want to laugh, don't laugh. We are husband and wife, and we must treat each other honestly. I have said before that the fate of children is determined by God. You really don't have to worry about it. We You're still young, it's not like you can't give birth, don't worry!"

"Thank you, brother, for your understanding." Why didn't she want to be a couple for the rest of her life?It's just that when she arrives at Zhongcui Palace, what face does her daughter-in-law have to face Concubine Hui?Individuals have their own fate, maybe her inability to have a child is the price she has to pay for being favored by her eldest brother.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's order a meal." The elder brother smiled, "Come as you like."

"Yes, Lord." Ergen Jueluo smiled, but his heart was bleeding.She still has no way to push the elder brother to other women, so let her be selfish for a while.

In the Yuqing Palace, the crown prince was also teasing his youngest son, while Fujin Li Jiashi obediently snuggled up to one side.

"Look at this kid, how bright his eyes are. Come on, call Ama—" the prince said to Li Jiashi with a smile.

The little elder brother was spitting on the car, ignoring the second most noble person in the Qing Dynasty.

Li Jiashi wiped the little elder brother's saliva: "This is your elder brother, the prince. How can he be not smart? This child can already be called Ama, but he is just lazy now. Fu Bao, call him Amma-"

The little elder brother was still drooling, ignoring his mother.

Li Jiashi was embarrassed for a while.

The prince suddenly felt a little bored, and stood up: "Forget it, I'll go first, you take good care of the little elder brother."

Li Jiashi quickly knelt down: "Respectfully send off the crown prince."

After the crown prince had left, Li Jiashi looked at the little elder brother and sighed.Everyone said that the prince is gentle and dignified, but those gentleness is definitely not for his women.Lord Long Live dotes on the crown prince, and there are no fewer women in Yuqing Palace.Even if she gave birth to the prince's first elder brother, the prince didn't take her very seriously.When the Crown Princess enters the palace in the future, there will still be her place in Yuqing Palace.No, she must not sit still, Li Jiashi secretly made a decision.
