Yinzuo just felt like crying, but he carefully endured his curiosity and the pain of being crazily practiced by the elder brother, just not wanting to get involved in things that shouldn't be involved.Unexpectedly, he still didn't escape, and was unilaterally trusted by the elder brother.
——I also heard such exciting news!
Eldest brother suspects that Mingzhu is not wholehearted in treating him?Strange isn't it!As the backbone of the Big Brother Party, Mingzhu will be suspected of having intentions. Could it be that they are not as close as they seem?
Yinzuo didn't want to get involved with them at all. The ancients said it well: You can't be close if you are distant.But seeing elder brother's depressed face, Yin Zuo couldn't ignore it, he just asked strangely: "Brother, why do you think so?"
"You also think that Mingzhu treats me wholeheartedly, right?" Eldest Brother was relieved, "I think so too, we have known each other for so many years, and he has been working hard for me..."
Yinzuo: "..."
I thought this was a suspicious master, but I didn't expect it to be a fool.
He interrupted the big brother: "You misunderstood! I wonder why you think that Nalan Mingzhu is wholehearted to you? In this world, apart from parents, how can anyone treat another person wholeheartedly for no reason? He must have Purpose!"
And they are in the royal family, the father's love for his children has to be discounted, but there is no need to say that.
This is a very simple truth, big brother is not stupid, how can he not understand, it's just that he has never thought about it before.
He was silent for a while and said: "I have known Nalan Mingzhu since I was young, Khan Ama loves the prince, he is the one who comforts me, how could it be..."
Yinzuo sighed: "Xingde told you to guard against him, right?"
The elder brother nodded, he knew this as soon as he thought about it, there was no need to hide it.
Yinzuo asked him: "Nalan Mingzhu couldn't even treat his character well, which made him almost die young, and now he's gone to the west, why should he treat you so well?"
It was only at this time that Yinzuo understood what Nalan Xingde was thinking, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and counted to the elder brother with his fingers: "Because you are his nephew and grandson? Xingde is still his own son, no closer than you! You are the big brother, the master? Khan Ama and the prince are the serious masters, why doesn’t he treat them well! Or rely on you to attract people..."
Yin Zuo looked big brother up and down, and paused in the eyes of the other party staring like copper bells: "...It's not impossible!"
Eldest brother: "..." Thank you, I am not happy.
Yinzuo said: "Most people in this world gather for profit, and when the profit is exhausted, they will disperse. He is attached to you for the sake of profit. If you don't take precautions and treat each other with sincerity, I'm afraid you will suffer a loss!"
The elder brother was silent for a moment, then smiled lightly and said, "I didn't expect the sixth brother to understand this."
Yinzuo waved his hand: "I'm talking nonsense, brother, don't take it to heart."
Thanks to myself who loves surfing the Internet in the 21st century!
The elder brother nodded after listening to Yin Zuo's words, then frowned and went to think about his own business.Yinzuo didn't bother him either, but just sat beside him silently.
From time to time, Thirteen and Fourteen could hear the humming and humming sounds of exercising on the school field, but the surroundings of the two sitting on the sidelines were completely silent.
Yin Zuo didn't know how long he just sat like this. Thirteen and Fourteen ran over sweaty after training. Seeing the two sitting on the sidelines, they were a little puzzled: "Sixth brother, you can forget it if you don't train yourself. Big brother is broken?"
Yinzuo: "..."
Yinzuo held Shishian's arm, raised his right hand to face his buttocks, and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Say it again, who led the other?"
"You've spoiled big brother!" Fourteen yelled, scratching his neck, and was spanked in the next second, and then howled "Wow"!
Eldest brother squinted at Yin Zuo, "Why did you hit him, is he right?"
Yinzuo: "..." What do you think?
It was the thirteenth little angel who was caring, and explained with a smile when the elder brother was trying to rescue Shishi: "Don't worry, elder brother. Sixth brother has a sense of propriety, and he doesn't hit hard at all. Little fourteen likes to fight thunder so that it doesn't rain. We I'm not used to him!"
Fourteen stared at him after he finished speaking, Thirteen was not afraid at all, and returned a grimace.
Eldest brother: "..." That's all, I don't understand today's kids.
Thirteenth and Fourteenth asked the eldest elder brother to check the training results, then washed and changed clothes and returned to the Yonghe Palace. Yinzuo also went with them to the Yonghe Palace to greet Concubine De.
Eldest brother is fine today, so he simply went to Yanxi Palace to see Concubine Hui.
The elder brother is older, unlike Yin Zuo who often greets his mother and concubine, Concubine Hui is so happy to see him, she keeps booing and asking for warmth, and asks someone to bring him tea and fruit snacks.
Eldest brother looked at the dessert, it was his favorite glutinous rice cold cake, and it could be brought out so quickly. He thought that he would prepare it every day in the small kitchen. He remembered that both Concubine Hui and Kangxi didn’t like glutinous rice cold cake, who did he prepare it for? is obvious.
The elder brother rarely paid attention to these trivial details in the past, but now he has something on his mind to realize that Concubine Hui is so careful, and he can't help but think of what Yin Zuo said: In this world, except parents, no one will wholeheartedly treat another person well.
Only parents!
The elder brother ate two pieces of glutinous rice cold cake silently, and suddenly wanted to know Concubine Hui's opinion of Nalan Mingzhu, so he apologized: "Recently, Nalan Mingzhu and Nalan Mingzhu are busy with the affairs of the previous court, so I don't have time to greet my mother, please Don't blame my mother."
"You are busy with your work. I have nothing to do on weekdays. It doesn't matter if you come or not." Concubine Hui smiled and comforted him, then paused and said, "However, Master Nalan has a high position and authority, and he also has a lot of political affairs if you want to come. Don't bother him all the time, wouldn't it be beautiful to delay the emperor's important event?"
The elder brother nodded silently.
Concubine Hui also told him to take good care of himself, not to be too tired; get along well with his brothers, don't rush to turn pale and so on.
The eldest brother just listened silently, but his heart was extremely complicated.
Concubine Hui often said these words to him before, but he didn't take them to heart at the time, he just thought it was her casual instruction, but now he listened with thought and realized something else—Concubine Hui didn't want him to be with Nalan either. Mingzhu fights against the prince together!
Eldest brother may not believe in Nalan Xingde, even if the other party is about to go to the West, there is no reason to harm eldest brother and his own Ama; he may not believe in Yin Zuo, even if the other party has never been involved in government affairs and does not belong to the prince's party.
He could not trust anyone, but he had to trust Concubine Hui, she was his biological mother!
But even Concubine Hui disapproved of what he did, and the elder brother had to reflect on whether he really did something wrong.
Eldest brother had something in his mind, and when Nalan Mingzhu came to discuss matters with him the next day, he was a little absent-minded.
Mingzhu looked at him and asked, "Big Brother, is he unhappy because of Liu Guang?"
The elder brother was stunned for a while: "What's wrong with Liu Guang?"
Liuguang is a famous horse presented by Fan Bangjin. It is strong in stature, vigorous in movement and extremely fast, so it was named "Liuguang" by Kangxi.
The elder brother liked it very much, and even asked Kangxi for it, but Kangxi didn't give it to him.
Nalan Mingzhu snorted coldly: "I heard that the emperor rewarded Liu Guang to the prince."
The elder brother felt a little uncomfortable, and wanted to ask Khan Ama why he favored the prince so much.But looking at Nalan Mingzhu's face, he tried to calm down and asked, "Do you know why?"
Mingzhu froze for a moment, as if he didn't expect the big brother to ask this question, he thought for a while and said: "It is said that the crown prince's mount is old and cannot be used, so the emperor gave it to him with a streamer."
"That's what it should be." The elder brother heaved a sigh of relief.
Mingzhu said angrily: "The emperor has so many horses to reward, which horse is not for the prince, but Liuguang? The emperor knows that you love Liuguang the most!"
"I love my Pilixiang the most," the eldest brother interrupted Mingzhu, "Khan Ama is right. Although Liuguang is vigorous, he is not suitable for the battlefield. It is not suitable for me. On the contrary, Pilixiang is a natural war horse, and he is with me. It would be more appropriate to have a tacit understanding after a long time. Pilixiang is only seven years old, he is in his prime, and he can fight with me for a long time, there is really no need to raise another famous horse, but it will be delayed."
Nalan Mingzhu said: "You are the eldest son of the emperor, what's wrong with raising a few horses?"
The elder brother smiled faintly: "I don't need so many horses. A few days ago, Khan Ama rewarded me with a good bow, and I like that one better."
Nalan Pearl: "..."
Nalan Mingzhu looked at the elder brother in surprise, wondering why he was so patient today.Just didn't say anything.
After Nalan Mingzhu left, the elder brother sat alone in the study for a long time.
If he had listened to Nalan Mingzhu's words in the past, he would have been angry because Khan Ama favored the prince, and Nalan Mingzhu and him share the same hatred, and he will definitely gain his trust and value.But today, when he looked closely at Mingzhu's expression, he felt a little hypocritical.
Eldest brother recalled carefully, in fact, he had a good relationship with the prince when he was young, how did he get to this point step by step?
It seemed that Nalan Mingzhu kept whispering in his ears that Khan Ama was partial to the prince, and he became more and more annoyed when he was young, and he wanted to compare the prince, so that Khan Ama knew that he was not inferior to the prince.
In the beginning, they were just fighting over homework, and later they were fighting for favor and credit, and gradually turned into party disputes, so that it almost got out of hand.
Who knew that the elder brother actually had no intention of competing for reserves at all, he was just dissatisfied with being favored, but now that he thought about it, did Khan Ama really treat him badly?
——Before Nalan Mingzhu mentioned it, he didn't notice it!
For example, this time, Khan Ama rewarded the prince with a horse, but at the same time he also rewarded him with a bow. In fact, there was no preference.But Nalan Mingzhu said that Khan Ama was partial to the prince, and even gave the prince the horse he couldn't ask for. If he hadn't thought about it today, would he be angry about it?
The elder brother became suspicious of Nalan Mingzhu, so he would pay attention to observe it in the following days.
For example, Nalan Mingzhu was dissatisfied that Kangxi summoned the prince more than the elder brother, but the prince helped Kangxi handle government affairs, and many things needed to be reviewed by Kangxi, so it was normal to go to and from the imperial study.On the other hand, Eldest Elder Brother loves to practice martial arts, and rarely needs to discuss official business with Kangxi, so he doesn't often go to the Imperial Study Room.
For example, Nalan Mingzhu was dissatisfied with Kangxi who reused the princes and ignored those who abandoned them.However, after reading the resumes of the two, the elder brother found that the person selected by Kangxi was indeed more suitable for the official position, and it was not all because of his partiality for the crown prince.
……
One after another, in Nalan Mingzhu's mouth, it was evidence that Kangxi favored the prince, but the elder brother felt that it should be taken for granted.He didn't even understand where he got so much hostility in the past.
The big brother turned his head around, and when he looked at Mingzhu again, he felt that something was wrong.He wanted to observe more, so he only dragged Yinzuo to study armaments and training on weekdays, and didn't care about Nalan Mingzhu's various provocations and instigations.
Time flies, and soon another year will pass.Spring returns to the earth, and everything recovers.
March [-]th is Kangxi's birthday and Wanshou Festival. At that time, Kangxi will entertain all the ministers, and all officials will also present congratulatory gifts.
Every time this is the time when civil and military officials, princes and grandchildren compete to perform, it seems that whoever gives the best and most thoughtful things is the most loyal to the emperor.
In the past, the eldest brother and the prince had to compete secretly on the Longevity Festival. Mingzhu and Suo'etu behind them were very concerned about this. This year, it was only March, and Nalan Mingzhu came to discuss the gift with the eldest brother. Be sure to suppress the posture of the prince and Suo'etu.
"Qibaozhai has an extremely high-quality jade ruyi, which is transparent and moist, warm to the touch, very beautiful..."
As he spoke, he refuted again: "It's not right, Ruyi is a little more ordinary. I heard that there is an authentic Dong Qichang work in the □□ Pavilion. The emperor loves Dong Qichang the most. You will definitely win the emperor's favor by presenting this."
"There is also a coral with an excellent color..."
Nalan Mingzhu was eloquent, but the elder brother was not interested for some reason, he waved his hand and said: "There is no need to spend so much money, I don't have any money."
"Why are you out of money?" Nalan Mingzhu frowned, "I remember that you don't have any expenses."
The elder brother raised the notes he was writing: "Here, researching armaments is burning money."
This is a serious matter, Nalan Mingzhu has nothing to say: "It's just that the emperor's birthday gift can't be sloppy."
He thought for a moment, then lowered his voice and leaned into the elder brother's ear and said, "If you need money urgently, the slave has a way... Some people want to be promoted but have no connections. If someone speaks a few words in front of the emperor, they will go It can be offered in real money."
The elder brother was stunned for a moment before he understood what he meant. He felt angry immediately, slapped the table heavily, and shouted: "Do you know what you are talking about?!"
Nalan Mingzhu was taken aback, and quickly comforted her: "I just mentioned it this way, if you don't like it, that's all."
"Don't even mention it!" Elder brother taught me a lesson, "No matter what you want to do, the first thing you must remember is that you are a courtier of the Qing Dynasty, and you must put the court and the people first. If you let me know what you have done in private , don't blame me for righteously killing relatives!"
Nalan Mingzhu promised again and again: "I know, I didn't promise at first. If you didn't need money urgently, I wouldn't think of it. I just don't mention it in the future."
Eldest Brother's face paled slightly: "I have my own plans for Khan Ama's birthday, so leave it alone."
Nalan Mingzhu nodded, and then turned to talk about other things: "There is a vacancy for the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi. We can't let the prince take advantage of this. The slave thinks that Falun is suitable. He has all the abilities, but his qualifications are not good enough. It will be fine if we recommend you, what do you think?"
The elder brother waved his hand: "You can figure it out."
He is still doubting life, and has no interest in these messy things.
What's more, Fo Lun said that he belonged to him, but in fact he had never met him, and the letter had not been passed. In the end, he still belonged to Mingzhu.
In a blink of an eye, it was March 18th, the Longevity Day. Kangxi hosted a banquet for his ministers, and the princes were also among them.
The eldest elder brother didn't know what he was thinking, so he didn't have any money, so he simply gave it away, and only gave Kangxi a scroll of hand-copied Buddhist scriptures, and decided to send the newly written book to Kangxi as a congratulatory gift in private.
He was worried that his congratulatory gift was too thin, but he did not expect that the crown prince did not send any expensive gifts this year, but wrote a "Longevity Picture" by himself.A total of 1 "shou" characters have different shapes, implying longevity and boundless, and the heart is rare.
Except for the elder brother and the crown prince, the other elder brothers have not yet married or entered the court, so they don't have much money in their hands, and the gifts are only about their wishes and not about their value.
Among them, the most meaningful one is the fifth elder brother. His congratulatory gift is a basket of food called 'potatoes' and several dishes made from these potatoes.Brother tasted it, and the taste is really good. More importantly, the yield of this potato is extremely high. It can be used as a dish or as a substitute for filling the stomach. It is an excellent variety.
Kangxi was overjoyed immediately, and praised the fifth elder brother greatly, and gave a big reward to Ye Gui who dedicated this species to the fifth elder brother.
Yinzuo is poorer than his eldest brother, and he racked his brains for the birthday gift. Finally, he simply borrowed from the story of "A Bucket of Ginger Mountain" and gave him a bucket of ginger as a gift.
All the ministers: "..."
It's all about sending potatoes with your own handwriting, but what does it mean to send a bucket of ginger?
Yinzuo explained solemnly in the eyes of everyone's surprise: "'A barrel of ginger mountain' means 'unifying the country', which means Khan Ama is majestic and powerful, and one emperor through the ages!"
Everyone suddenly realized, and nodded one after another: As expected of you, Six Baylor!This dragon fart is really well shot!
Yin Zuo smiled slightly, and continued: "Secondly, the weather is getting warmer and colder now, and my son sent Khan Ama a bucket of ginger, in order to ask Khan Amamo to get cold and hurt his body, so as not to worry about my son and all the adults here. ah."
All the adults who were cue spoke in unison: "Please take care of the dragon body, Your Majesty!"
Kangxi's face became more genial, and he laughed loudly and said: "My sons, no one is better than Yinzuo in terms of ingenuity, and in terms of thoughtfulness!"
Everyone present complimented Yinzuo one after another, but Yinzuo was embarrassed.Fortunately, he has always been thick-skinned, sitting upright, not at all abnormal, and his face is slightly red, others only think that he has been drinking.
In the end, the most expensive congratulatory gift among the princes was Brother Jiu. He and Yin Zuo had made money by cooperating. What he prepared was a piece of pure gold silk inlaid with emeralds and three Ruyi inlaid with it.
It's just that he was not at all proud when he came forward to present the gift, he just felt like a fool under the backdrop of his brothers, just like the "upstart" that the sixth brother said, he was squirming.
Seeing his embarrassment, Eldest Brother suddenly felt a little scared, if he listened to Nalan Mingzhu and prepared a generous gift, he would be as anxious as Ninth Elder Brother now.
Luckily fortunately!
After presenting the gifts, the banquet began. Everyone was coming and going, and Kangxi would also give dishes to those who valued him. The elder brother got one dish, but when he turned his head and saw that the crown prince had two dishes, he felt very unhappy.
However, he soon lost his temper, because Kangxi was more kind to Yinzuo and the fifth elder brother, and directly asked them to choose by themselves, even the number was not limited.
Big brother: "..."
Lost, lost, I lost this game.
He glanced at the prince again: both losers, who is more noble than the other?
Prince: "..."
……
After the banquet, Kangxi asked the fifth elder brother to go to the imperial study, and the eldest elder brother followed with a booklet, and Yinzuo was also brought along by the way.
There is nothing to say about the potatoes. Now we have only planted a little bit, and we have to try planting for another year. After confirming that it is worth promoting, we can follow the example of golden potatoes and follow the steps.
On the contrary, there are some new things in the brochure that the elder brother took out, and Kangxi had to ask them one by one. The eldest elder brother and Yinzuo answered together, and Kangxi nodded and said: "You can try it in a small area in the army first, and see the effect. .”
Big Brother happily agreed.
After the discussion was over, Yin Zuo went back to Gandong No. [-] with the elder brother, and the elder brother smiled and asked: "Are you going to have something to do later?"
"Yes!" Yin Zuo was categorical, not giving the elder brother a chance at all.
Big brother: "..."
Eldest brother squints at Yin Zuo, is he that scary?
"Your sister-in-law ate a dim sum and thought it was good, so I asked you to try it," the eldest elder brother looked at Yinzuo with a look of 'not knowing a good heart'.
Although Yinzuo felt that he wanted to say "a gentleman's belly with a careful person".
Facing the elder brother Yinzuo, he would rather be a villain. He was really afraid of being tossed, so he just chuckled and refused to let go at all: "Thanks to my sister-in-law thinking about me, I am too busy these days, so go back and ask my sister-in-law for her pulse. Snack You don’t need anything, if you really want me to taste it, send it to my palace!”
The elder brother smiled and nodded at him. He was still talking when he saw Nalan Mingzhu waiting at the intersection.
Yinzuo seemed to have seen a savior, and hurriedly said goodbye: "Brother is talking to Master Nalan, I won't bother you."
After speaking, the soles of the feet were oily.
The elder brother looked at his back and sneered, then turned to see Nalan Mingzhu's expression was not good, and said with a smile: "What's wrong?"
Nalan Mingzhu endured this for a long time and couldn't hold back anymore, and she was not very polite: "You said you knew the congratulatory gift, but you just gave this Buddhist scripture to the emperor?"
"What's the matter?" Eldest Brother's smile faded, "All brothers gave it like this, and so did the prince! Khan Ama is not unhappy, and I don't think there is anything wrong with it."
"There is nothing wrong, but there is nothing good! The crown prince's congratulatory gift today is so simple, if you put your heart into it, you will definitely beat the crown prince and win the emperor's favor!" Nalan Mingzhu felt very sorry, "Such a good opportunity, just like this from you slipped away!"
The elder brother said indifferently: "The congratulatory gifts of the fifth and sixth brothers are so outstanding. In terms of value, the ninth brother is also the best. I may not be able to match it."
"What's the matter with them? No matter how well they give gifts, they are no match for you!" Nalan Mingzhu hated iron for steel, "Your match is only the crown prince!"
Big brother glanced at him: "Pay attention to your words!"
This is the palace!Haven't arrived at your own place yet, just say openly that your opponent is no match, do you think your life is too comfortable?
Nalan Mingzhu was like a cock being strangled, her face flushed and she couldn't speak.
The two walked away in silence for a while, only to see Yin Zuo who had already slipped away and turned back: "Brother, your book fell to me."
Yinzuo stuffed the booklet into the elder brother's hand, turned his head and was about to slip away again, his eyes glanced at Nalan Mingzhu but his footsteps stopped: "Master Nalan is not feeling well?"
Nalan Mingzhu said coldly: "No."
"Don't shy away from medical treatment," Yin Zuo looked at him suspiciously, "Do you have a lot of eye mucus these days? When you wake up in the morning, you can't keep your eyes open. When you encounter strong light, your eyes hurt, and there is always a feeling of sand getting into your eyes." ?”
"Yes," Nalan Mingzhu paused, "my eyes..."
"It's a serious illness!" Yin Zuo hurriedly pulled the elder brother back a few steps away from Nalan Pearl, "You have a serious pink eye disease!"
Nalan Pearl: "..."
Big brother: "..."
——I also heard such exciting news!
Eldest brother suspects that Mingzhu is not wholehearted in treating him?Strange isn't it!As the backbone of the Big Brother Party, Mingzhu will be suspected of having intentions. Could it be that they are not as close as they seem?
Yinzuo didn't want to get involved with them at all. The ancients said it well: You can't be close if you are distant.But seeing elder brother's depressed face, Yin Zuo couldn't ignore it, he just asked strangely: "Brother, why do you think so?"

Eldest brother: "..." Thank you, I am not happy.
Yinzuo said: "Most people in this world gather for profit, and when the profit is exhausted, they will disperse. He is attached to you for the sake of profit. If you don't take precautions and treat each other with sincerity, I'm afraid you will suffer a loss!"

It was the thirteenth little angel who was caring, and explained with a smile when the elder brother was trying to rescue Shishi: "Don't worry, elder brother. Sixth brother has a sense of propriety, and he doesn't hit hard at all. Little fourteen likes to fight thunder so that it doesn't rain. We I'm not used to him!"
Fourteen stared at him after he finished speaking, Thirteen was not afraid at all, and returned a grimace.

The elder brother felt a little uncomfortable, and wanted to ask Khan Ama why he favored the prince so much.But looking at Nalan Mingzhu's face, he tried to calm down and asked, "Do you know why?"
Mingzhu froze for a moment, as if he didn't expect the big brother to ask this question, he thought for a while and said: "It is said that the crown prince's mount is old and cannot be used, so the emperor gave it to him with a streamer."
"That's what it should be." The elder brother heaved a sigh of relief.
Mingzhu said angrily: "The emperor has so many horses to reward, which horse is not for the prince, but Liuguang? The emperor knows that you love Liuguang the most!"
"I love my Pilixiang the most," the eldest brother interrupted Mingzhu, "Khan Ama is right. Although Liuguang is vigorous, he is not suitable for the battlefield. It is not suitable for me. On the contrary, Pilixiang is a natural war horse, and he is with me. It would be more appropriate to have a tacit understanding after a long time. Pilixiang is only seven years old, he is in his prime, and he can fight with me for a long time, there is really no need to raise another famous horse, but it will be delayed."
Nalan Mingzhu said: "You are the eldest son of the emperor, what's wrong with raising a few horses?"
The elder brother smiled faintly: "I don't need so many horses. A few days ago, Khan Ama rewarded me with a good bow, and I like that one better."
Nalan Pearl: "..."
Nalan Mingzhu looked at the elder brother in surprise, wondering why he was so patient today.Just didn't say anything.
After Nalan Mingzhu left, the elder brother sat alone in the study for a long time.
If he had listened to Nalan Mingzhu's words in the past, he would have been angry because Khan Ama favored the prince, and Nalan Mingzhu and him share the same hatred, and he will definitely gain his trust and value.But today, when he looked closely at Mingzhu's expression, he felt a little hypocritical.
Eldest brother recalled carefully, in fact, he had a good relationship with the prince when he was young, how did he get to this point step by step?
It seemed that Nalan Mingzhu kept whispering in his ears that Khan Ama was partial to the prince, and he became more and more annoyed when he was young, and he wanted to compare the prince, so that Khan Ama knew that he was not inferior to the prince.
In the beginning, they were just fighting over homework, and later they were fighting for favor and credit, and gradually turned into party disputes, so that it almost got out of hand.
Who knew that the elder brother actually had no intention of competing for reserves at all, he was just dissatisfied with being favored, but now that he thought about it, did Khan Ama really treat him badly?
——Before Nalan Mingzhu mentioned it, he didn't notice it!
For example, this time, Khan Ama rewarded the prince with a horse, but at the same time he also rewarded him with a bow. In fact, there was no preference.But Nalan Mingzhu said that Khan Ama was partial to the prince, and even gave the prince the horse he couldn't ask for. If he hadn't thought about it today, would he be angry about it?
The elder brother became suspicious of Nalan Mingzhu, so he would pay attention to observe it in the following days.
For example, Nalan Mingzhu was dissatisfied that Kangxi summoned the prince more than the elder brother, but the prince helped Kangxi handle government affairs, and many things needed to be reviewed by Kangxi, so it was normal to go to and from the imperial study.On the other hand, Eldest Elder Brother loves to practice martial arts, and rarely needs to discuss official business with Kangxi, so he doesn't often go to the Imperial Study Room.
For example, Nalan Mingzhu was dissatisfied with Kangxi who reused the princes and ignored those who abandoned them.However, after reading the resumes of the two, the elder brother found that the person selected by Kangxi was indeed more suitable for the official position, and it was not all because of his partiality for the crown prince.
……
One after another, in Nalan Mingzhu's mouth, it was evidence that Kangxi favored the prince, but the elder brother felt that it should be taken for granted.He didn't even understand where he got so much hostility in the past.
The big brother turned his head around, and when he looked at Mingzhu again, he felt that something was wrong.He wanted to observe more, so he only dragged Yinzuo to study armaments and training on weekdays, and didn't care about Nalan Mingzhu's various provocations and instigations.
Time flies, and soon another year will pass.Spring returns to the earth, and everything recovers.
March [-]th is Kangxi's birthday and Wanshou Festival. At that time, Kangxi will entertain all the ministers, and all officials will also present congratulatory gifts.
Every time this is the time when civil and military officials, princes and grandchildren compete to perform, it seems that whoever gives the best and most thoughtful things is the most loyal to the emperor.
In the past, the eldest brother and the prince had to compete secretly on the Longevity Festival. Mingzhu and Suo'etu behind them were very concerned about this. This year, it was only March, and Nalan Mingzhu came to discuss the gift with the eldest brother. Be sure to suppress the posture of the prince and Suo'etu.
"Qibaozhai has an extremely high-quality jade ruyi, which is transparent and moist, warm to the touch, very beautiful..."
As he spoke, he refuted again: "It's not right, Ruyi is a little more ordinary. I heard that there is an authentic Dong Qichang work in the □□ Pavilion. The emperor loves Dong Qichang the most. You will definitely win the emperor's favor by presenting this."
"There is also a coral with an excellent color..."
Nalan Mingzhu was eloquent, but the elder brother was not interested for some reason, he waved his hand and said: "There is no need to spend so much money, I don't have any money."
"Why are you out of money?" Nalan Mingzhu frowned, "I remember that you don't have any expenses."
The elder brother raised the notes he was writing: "Here, researching armaments is burning money."
This is a serious matter, Nalan Mingzhu has nothing to say: "It's just that the emperor's birthday gift can't be sloppy."
He thought for a moment, then lowered his voice and leaned into the elder brother's ear and said, "If you need money urgently, the slave has a way... Some people want to be promoted but have no connections. If someone speaks a few words in front of the emperor, they will go It can be offered in real money."
The elder brother was stunned for a moment before he understood what he meant. He felt angry immediately, slapped the table heavily, and shouted: "Do you know what you are talking about?!"
Nalan Mingzhu was taken aback, and quickly comforted her: "I just mentioned it this way, if you don't like it, that's all."
"Don't even mention it!" Elder brother taught me a lesson, "No matter what you want to do, the first thing you must remember is that you are a courtier of the Qing Dynasty, and you must put the court and the people first. If you let me know what you have done in private , don't blame me for righteously killing relatives!"
Nalan Mingzhu promised again and again: "I know, I didn't promise at first. If you didn't need money urgently, I wouldn't think of it. I just don't mention it in the future."
Eldest Brother's face paled slightly: "I have my own plans for Khan Ama's birthday, so leave it alone."
Nalan Mingzhu nodded, and then turned to talk about other things: "There is a vacancy for the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi. We can't let the prince take advantage of this. The slave thinks that Falun is suitable. He has all the abilities, but his qualifications are not good enough. It will be fine if we recommend you, what do you think?"
The elder brother waved his hand: "You can figure it out."
He is still doubting life, and has no interest in these messy things.
What's more, Fo Lun said that he belonged to him, but in fact he had never met him, and the letter had not been passed. In the end, he still belonged to Mingzhu.
In a blink of an eye, it was March 18th, the Longevity Day. Kangxi hosted a banquet for his ministers, and the princes were also among them.
The eldest elder brother didn't know what he was thinking, so he didn't have any money, so he simply gave it away, and only gave Kangxi a scroll of hand-copied Buddhist scriptures, and decided to send the newly written book to Kangxi as a congratulatory gift in private.
He was worried that his congratulatory gift was too thin, but he did not expect that the crown prince did not send any expensive gifts this year, but wrote a "Longevity Picture" by himself.A total of 1 "shou" characters have different shapes, implying longevity and boundless, and the heart is rare.
Except for the elder brother and the crown prince, the other elder brothers have not yet married or entered the court, so they don't have much money in their hands, and the gifts are only about their wishes and not about their value.
Among them, the most meaningful one is the fifth elder brother. His congratulatory gift is a basket of food called 'potatoes' and several dishes made from these potatoes.Brother tasted it, and the taste is really good. More importantly, the yield of this potato is extremely high. It can be used as a dish or as a substitute for filling the stomach. It is an excellent variety.
Kangxi was overjoyed immediately, and praised the fifth elder brother greatly, and gave a big reward to Ye Gui who dedicated this species to the fifth elder brother.
Yinzuo is poorer than his eldest brother, and he racked his brains for the birthday gift. Finally, he simply borrowed from the story of "A Bucket of Ginger Mountain" and gave him a bucket of ginger as a gift.
All the ministers: "..."
It's all about sending potatoes with your own handwriting, but what does it mean to send a bucket of ginger?
Yinzuo explained solemnly in the eyes of everyone's surprise: "'A barrel of ginger mountain' means 'unifying the country', which means Khan Ama is majestic and powerful, and one emperor through the ages!"
Everyone suddenly realized, and nodded one after another: As expected of you, Six Baylor!This dragon fart is really well shot!
Yin Zuo smiled slightly, and continued: "Secondly, the weather is getting warmer and colder now, and my son sent Khan Ama a bucket of ginger, in order to ask Khan Amamo to get cold and hurt his body, so as not to worry about my son and all the adults here. ah."
All the adults who were cue spoke in unison: "Please take care of the dragon body, Your Majesty!"
Kangxi's face became more genial, and he laughed loudly and said: "My sons, no one is better than Yinzuo in terms of ingenuity, and in terms of thoughtfulness!"
Everyone present complimented Yinzuo one after another, but Yinzuo was embarrassed.Fortunately, he has always been thick-skinned, sitting upright, not at all abnormal, and his face is slightly red, others only think that he has been drinking.
In the end, the most expensive congratulatory gift among the princes was Brother Jiu. He and Yin Zuo had made money by cooperating. What he prepared was a piece of pure gold silk inlaid with emeralds and three Ruyi inlaid with it.
It's just that he was not at all proud when he came forward to present the gift, he just felt like a fool under the backdrop of his brothers, just like the "upstart" that the sixth brother said, he was squirming.
Seeing his embarrassment, Eldest Brother suddenly felt a little scared, if he listened to Nalan Mingzhu and prepared a generous gift, he would be as anxious as Ninth Elder Brother now.
Luckily fortunately!
After presenting the gifts, the banquet began. Everyone was coming and going, and Kangxi would also give dishes to those who valued him. The elder brother got one dish, but when he turned his head and saw that the crown prince had two dishes, he felt very unhappy.
However, he soon lost his temper, because Kangxi was more kind to Yinzuo and the fifth elder brother, and directly asked them to choose by themselves, even the number was not limited.
Big brother: "..."
Lost, lost, I lost this game.
He glanced at the prince again: both losers, who is more noble than the other?
Prince: "..."
……
After the banquet, Kangxi asked the fifth elder brother to go to the imperial study, and the eldest elder brother followed with a booklet, and Yinzuo was also brought along by the way.
There is nothing to say about the potatoes. Now we have only planted a little bit, and we have to try planting for another year. After confirming that it is worth promoting, we can follow the example of golden potatoes and follow the steps.
On the contrary, there are some new things in the brochure that the elder brother took out, and Kangxi had to ask them one by one. The eldest elder brother and Yinzuo answered together, and Kangxi nodded and said: "You can try it in a small area in the army first, and see the effect. .”
Big Brother happily agreed.
After the discussion was over, Yin Zuo went back to Gandong No. [-] with the elder brother, and the elder brother smiled and asked: "Are you going to have something to do later?"
"Yes!" Yin Zuo was categorical, not giving the elder brother a chance at all.
Big brother: "..."
Eldest brother squints at Yin Zuo, is he that scary?
"Your sister-in-law ate a dim sum and thought it was good, so I asked you to try it," the eldest elder brother looked at Yinzuo with a look of 'not knowing a good heart'.
Although Yinzuo felt that he wanted to say "a gentleman's belly with a careful person".
Facing the elder brother Yinzuo, he would rather be a villain. He was really afraid of being tossed, so he just chuckled and refused to let go at all: "Thanks to my sister-in-law thinking about me, I am too busy these days, so go back and ask my sister-in-law for her pulse. Snack You don’t need anything, if you really want me to taste it, send it to my palace!”
The elder brother smiled and nodded at him. He was still talking when he saw Nalan Mingzhu waiting at the intersection.
Yinzuo seemed to have seen a savior, and hurriedly said goodbye: "Brother is talking to Master Nalan, I won't bother you."
After speaking, the soles of the feet were oily.
The elder brother looked at his back and sneered, then turned to see Nalan Mingzhu's expression was not good, and said with a smile: "What's wrong?"
Nalan Mingzhu endured this for a long time and couldn't hold back anymore, and she was not very polite: "You said you knew the congratulatory gift, but you just gave this Buddhist scripture to the emperor?"
"What's the matter?" Eldest Brother's smile faded, "All brothers gave it like this, and so did the prince! Khan Ama is not unhappy, and I don't think there is anything wrong with it."
"There is nothing wrong, but there is nothing good! The crown prince's congratulatory gift today is so simple, if you put your heart into it, you will definitely beat the crown prince and win the emperor's favor!" Nalan Mingzhu felt very sorry, "Such a good opportunity, just like this from you slipped away!"
The elder brother said indifferently: "The congratulatory gifts of the fifth and sixth brothers are so outstanding. In terms of value, the ninth brother is also the best. I may not be able to match it."
"What's the matter with them? No matter how well they give gifts, they are no match for you!" Nalan Mingzhu hated iron for steel, "Your match is only the crown prince!"
Big brother glanced at him: "Pay attention to your words!"
This is the palace!Haven't arrived at your own place yet, just say openly that your opponent is no match, do you think your life is too comfortable?
Nalan Mingzhu was like a cock being strangled, her face flushed and she couldn't speak.
The two walked away in silence for a while, only to see Yin Zuo who had already slipped away and turned back: "Brother, your book fell to me."
Yinzuo stuffed the booklet into the elder brother's hand, turned his head and was about to slip away again, his eyes glanced at Nalan Mingzhu but his footsteps stopped: "Master Nalan is not feeling well?"
Nalan Mingzhu said coldly: "No."
"Don't shy away from medical treatment," Yin Zuo looked at him suspiciously, "Do you have a lot of eye mucus these days? When you wake up in the morning, you can't keep your eyes open. When you encounter strong light, your eyes hurt, and there is always a feeling of sand getting into your eyes." ?”
"Yes," Nalan Mingzhu paused, "my eyes..."
"It's a serious illness!" Yin Zuo hurriedly pulled the elder brother back a few steps away from Nalan Pearl, "You have a serious pink eye disease!"
Nalan Pearl: "..."
Big brother: "..."
