My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1832 Brothers in Suffering
"Your mouth..."

The Third Prince pointed at the Ninth Prince and said, "Speak less in the future, or you might get beaten one day!"

The Ninth Prince snorted, "I am speaking the truth. Honest words are hard to hear! You are just trying to vent your anger on others. Don't bully the weak and fear the strong!"

If the Tenth Prince hadn't been around, the Third Prince would have argued with him about what was "honest advice" and what was "foul talk", but in front of the Tenth Prince, it was better to keep his distance.

The Third Prince glanced at the Tenth Prince and said, "It's already dinner time. What are you doing here if you're not at the government office?"

The tenth elder brother: "..."

Brother Ninth: "..."

Neither of them wanted to say it.

My third brother not only loves to be stingy and save money, but also loves to take advantage of others.

The Third Prince immediately understood and said, "Okay, you guys don't look like you're going back home, are you going to a banquet?"

As he spoke, he pulled one with one hand and said, "Don't stand here like an idiot, let's go!"

The Ninth Prince said unhappily, "You really love to join in the fun. Who invited you?"

The Third Prince smiled and said, "We are who we are. Do we need to treat this brother and his brothers to a meal? They are not outsiders."

The carriage was waiting.

The three brothers got on the carriage and went directly to Baiweiju outside Di'anmen.

When we arrived at the place, as soon as we got off the car, the rich and overbearing spicy smell hit our noses.

The Third Prince took a deep sniff and said, "The spicy hotpot in your restaurant is now well-known in the capital!"

There's no need for word of mouth to spread the word, you'll smell the same flavor everywhere on Di'anmen Street.

The Ninth Prince said proudly, "It's OK, the servants will use it."

The key is that their peppers are from Beijing, and although they are not the only ones, they at least account for the majority.

There are dozens of acres of peppers planted on the farm in Baiwang Mountain.

If others want to imitate what we do, they can make it for one or two meals, but the aftertaste is not strong enough and there is not enough chili.

The smart waiter had already called the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper recognized the Ninth Prince and immediately stepped forward to greet him: "My servant greets the master, please greet the master..."

The Tenth Prince also knew him, and the shopkeeper then paid his respects to him.

When he came to the Third Prince, he was also wearing a mask and a yellow belt, but the shopkeeper didn't dare to shout.

The Ninth Prince said: "This is the Third Master..."

The shopkeeper paid a thousand yuan and led the way, taking them to the private room upstairs.

The Third Prince sat down in the seat of the landlord, and did not forget to greet the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince: "Sit down, you have been busy all morning and you must be hungry."

Because they were going to Haidian to welcome the emperor, everyone got up early.

After traveling dozens of miles back and forth, the food I ate in the morning was almost digested.

The Ninth Prince snorted and tried to pull the Third Prince up.

"This is to annoy Old Ten, Third Brother, you'd better not steal the show!"

When the Third Prince saw him pulling someone, he wanted to exert more force, but he didn't want to stand up. After hearing the words behind, he stood up.

"What happened to Old Ten?"

The Third Prince was puzzled: "He was also scolded by Khan Ama? Why?"

The Ninth Prince said, "The Tenth Prince's illegitimate son died at birth."

Third Prince: “…”

He quietly moved and sat on the left seat.

The Tenth Prince looked at the empty space and said to the Ninth Prince, "Ninth Brother, I was just upset for a while yesterday, but I have come to my senses now. The relationship between the young prince and me is shallow, so there is no need to mention it again in the future, so as to avoid him leaving in uneasiness."

The Ninth Prince pressed his shoulder and asked him to sit down.

"What's wrong with feeling uncomfortable for two more days? It's not a sin... Can't men feel uncomfortable?"

There is tea on the table.

The third prince picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp as if he was drinking wine.

"Children are difficult to raise. If you have too many children, everyone will experience this..."

The Third Prince said in a muffled voice.

The Ninth Prince almost jumped up: "Pah, pah, pah! What a crow's mouth! It's not working!"

Third Prince: “…”

The Ninth Prince frowned.

The Tenth Prince looked at the Third Prince with condemnation on his face.

The Third Prince slapped his mouth and said, "What a slip of the tongue!"

It is indeed unlucky, as if it is a curse.

The Ninth Prince's expression improved a little, and he said, "Look at what you said. Even if children are difficult to raise, it depends on whether the adults are reliable. As long as there are proper people to take care of them, they will be safe and sound. It's not said that every ordinary bannerman family has children who die!"

In his opinion, there are more man-made disasters.

After hearing this, the Third Prince sighed and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Are we going to call people to eat or not?"

At this moment, the dishes have already been served.

Because the Ninth Prince came to drink with the guests, there were eight hot and cold side dishes on the table.

There are also four dishes in plates, four dishes in bowls, and two pots.

With dried fruits, fresh fruits, and steamed buns, the table was full.

We also served liquor, rice wine and wine.

The Third Prince looked at the Tenth Prince and said enviously, "With the Nineth Prince's drinking capacity, he still thought of drinking with you, which shows that you two are really good friends."

The Ninth Prince didn't like to hear this.

"You don't even need to tell me that. If it's not really good, then who would pretend to be good?"

The Third Prince said helplessly: "I am just saying nice things. Are you angry? You just love to provoke people!"

The Ninth Prince also knew that his tone was not right, so he took a sip of tea and said, "I'm just a little irritated..."

As he spoke, he instructed He Yuzhu, "Ask the shopkeeper to serve another dish of cold-mixed bitter melon and another dish of bitter melon rolls..."

He Yuzhu agreed and went out to pass on the message.

The Tenth Prince looked at the three wine jugs, called Wang Changshou, and said, "Change to rice wine, heat it up and bring it up..."

Wang Changshou also went out to give orders.

The Third Prince heard it clearly, turned around and looked at the Tenth Prince and asked, "Are you drinking wine or sweet water?"

I don’t drink proper wine, I only drink rice wine.

The Tenth Prince looked at the Third Prince and asked, "Are you not hungry anymore?"

The Third Prince said, "Isn't it because you think Old Nine is not doing well? I will drink with you for a few cups?"

The Tenth Prince said, "I understand, brother. Please pick up your chopsticks quickly, the food is getting cold."

The third prince picked up his chopsticks and headed for the red oil shredded chicken in front of him.

It's spicy and numbing, different from the salty and fragrant taste of the thick, oily and saucey food in his own kitchen.

The Ninth Prince looked at the Tenth Prince and said, "I have nothing to do this afternoon anyway, don't you want to have a good drink?"

The Tenth Prince shook his head and said, "Ninth Brother knows me. I don't like drinking alcohol. I just drink rice wine to get a taste of it."

When the hot rice wine came up, the Ninth Prince took the pitcher and filled the Third Prince's and the Tenth Prince's cups.

With the Third Prince around, some things were hard to say, so the Ninth Prince drank two more cups of rice wine.

The rice wine in their restaurant is brewed using an ancient recipe, not the Jiangnan method. It has a lighter taste and is not intoxicating.

This is also always available in the Prince's Mansion.

The Ninth Prince drank alone, and the Tenth Prince didn't say anything.

The third prince ate his food while looking at his two younger brothers.

After all, you are young and inexperienced.

Where are we now?

Before Khan Ama, more than ten princes died one after another, and the ones who died in Prince Yu’s and Prince Gong’s palaces were the eldest sons.

Especially in Prince Gong’s Mansion, the eldest son was already sixteen years old and was gone.

To talk about more recent times, Sunu Beizi also lost his son and then his daughter a while ago.

No one can escape birth, old age, illness and death.

The third prince despised his two younger brothers for not taking responsibility and felt heartbroken.

Lao Jiu is a bastard who can stab people in the heart.

Khan Ama, do you really dislike him?
In the past, all three princes of Yuqing Palace entered the upper study room...

Why didn’t Khan Ama think about the trouble caused by the large number of imperial grandchildren at that time?

As for the claim that Khan treated the crown prince differently from his other sons, that is true.

But the difference is the rules and etiquette, which are not too different in such family matters.

Khan Ama has always loved his son.

If you can't handle your own housework well, then Khan Ama won't give you dignity?

The third prince wanted to run to the Qianqing Palace and hug his father’s legs and cry.

He was the one who lost his eldest daughter, and he felt sadder than anyone else.

The cold bitter melon and bitter melon rolls that the Ninth Prince ordered were also served.

The cold bitter melon was served on a plate with a small dish of honey on top.

Bitter melon dipped in honey is sweet and refreshing.

The bitter melon rolls are filled with vermicelli, shredded egg skin, shredded wood ear, and shredded ham in all five colors. The dipping sauce is soy sauce and mustard, and it is also a great dish to go with wine.

The Ninth Prince took two bites of each dish and found it more appetizing than the other dishes.

When he wanted to pick up his chopsticks again, he found that half of each dish was missing.

The Ninth Prince looked at the culprit.

The Third Prince's face turned red and his chopsticks moved quickly, but his expression was strange.

Seems like crying but not crying.

Looking at his eyes again, they were red.

The Ninth Prince was not a heartless person. Seeing the pitiful look on his face, he swallowed all the derogatory words on his lips.

He quietly poked the Tenth Prince and motioned him to look at the Third Prince.

The Tenth Prince pointed to where the wine was placed.

The Ninth Prince looked over and discovered that of the three wine jugs, only one was left.

The Third Prince poured himself a drink and had already drunk nearly two pots of wine.

"Is this really uncomfortable?"

The Ninth Prince asked the Tenth Prince in a low voice, "Is it because Khan Ama didn't teach you enough that you are not used to it?"

The Tenth Prince whispered, "He must have thought of his niece. After all, she is the eldest daughter, and he has raised her for several years."

The Ninth Prince thought of the eldest princess from Prince Cheng’s Mansion, who was born in the same year as the three Fengsheng siblings and was one and a half months older than the triplets.

She stayed at my home for a while last year and was a well-behaved little girl.

The Ninth Prince took a sip of rice wine and whispered, "I now understand why Khan Ama favored the sons who were earlier in the order..."
