The style of the Queen Mother in Qing Dynasty is different

The fifth elder brother has a lot of troubles. He wants to do what he likes. He doesn't want to be a matchmaker. He also wants to cheat the emperor's grandmother out of her money.

Qiqige persuaded the county king to go back and wait for the news. For the marriage of the three princesses, the fifth elder brother had been absent from school for a long time, and the emperor might not agree to the fifth elder brother leaving the palace.

The king of the county understood very well that the fifth elder brother was at the age of studying, and being a matchmaker was not something to be proud of his ancestors, it was a difficult task for him to force others.

The king of the county bid farewell and settled the bill when he left.

Qiqige said regretfully: "I should take him to the silver building, and then send him away."

Fifth elder brother: "Hey, you're expecting him to buy you a bracelet! Grandmother, I'm not talking about you, the older you are, the more stingy you are!"

Qiqige doesn't like to hear these words!Doesn't she know she's stingy?Of course she knows, do I need you to remind me?

"You owe a beating, don't you?" Qiqige sneered, "You were born late, and you took advantage of it. In the early years, I raided your Huang Ama's private treasury and robbed the children's New Year's money. You haven't seen it yet." It’s over! I didn’t steal your money, even if you earned it, you still dare to arrange me!”

Qiqige thought to herself: I have changed my ways, but you are still not satisfied.

The fifth elder brother cupped his hands at Qi Qige, "The emperor's grandmother is amazing, and my grandson is convinced!"

Without the support of the emperor's grandmother, he was one step away from his dream, and the fifth elder brother was a little bit disappointed.He asked Qiqige if she had finished eating, and then went to buy gold bracelets, and they went back to the palace early after shopping.

Qiqige waved her hand, telling him not to leave in a hurry.

"The Charity Hall is no longer building a school. You plan to build it yourself. Tell me, what kind of school do you want to build?"

Speaking of this fifth elder brother, he became energetic, "I want to build a world-renowned big academy, free of tuition fees, so that children from poor families can study. When these students have passed the imperial examination and become officials, my academy will become famous The world is over! Grandmother, this is a long process that needs the long-term support of a rich man."

The fifth elder brother looked at Qiqige as if he was looking at a golden mountain.

Qiqige thought: Okay!It turns out that you want to pluck my wool, and you want to keep plucking me as a renewable resource.

Qiqige sighed: "Don't blame me for pouring cold water on you, you won't be able to build a school like this, and even if you succeed, it won't last long."

The fifth elder brother looked very unconvinced, and Qiqige explained the reasons to him in detail.

"If you want to build a world-famous academy, the most important thing is to invite good teachers. As long as you invite famous teachers and scholars, scholars all over the world will crowd into your academy. But your original intention is to help the poor , which is not in line with your original intention again."

Fifth elder brother: "Then... I will explain in advance that only children from poor families will be accepted."

"Your heart is good, but the famous teachers you invite may not be willing to teach. Reading is an expensive thing. It costs five taels of silver to buy a set of Four Books and Five Classics without annotations. Children from poor families don't even have books. If you can’t afford it, you must have a poor foundation. Famous teachers and great Confucians study profound knowledge, so how can you give them the time to enlighten them?”

Fifth elder brother nodded, he took it for granted.He grew up with good food, good clothes, and good use, so when he built the school, he also wanted to build the best, but he forgot what the school needed most.

The fifth elder brother said: "The emperor's grandmother is right. My original intention is to enlighten the people's wisdom and educate the people. It is indeed too wasteful to ask famous teachers and great scholars to be enlightened. If so, I will invite some down-and-out scholars to be teachers! It can also save money! "

Speaking of running a school, what Qiqige admires the most is the vocational school that kept broadcasting advertisements on TV in her previous life.What kind of package education package meeting, no tuition fee will be charged for learning, and the phone number is 88888, which is especially brainwashing.

Qiqige suddenly smiled and said, "Are you interested in starting a vocational academy?"

"What is a vocational academy?"

"It's an academy that teaches people crafts. They teach people skills. For example, bookkeeping, carpentry, bricklaying, blacksmithing..."

The fifth elder brother retorted: "Everything is inferior, but reading is high. Who wants to learn this?"

Qiqige kept shaking her head, these elder brothers are far worse than the princesses, they don't know how to do things, it seems that they have never experienced my making things difficult for them.

"What is a poor family like? They don't have enough to eat, don't wear warm clothes, and sell their children if they can't survive. They also want to send their children to take the imperial examination, but ten years of hard study may not be able to be admitted to the scholar, even if the exam It’s up to the court, and the imperial court doesn’t give money to the scholars, and they are still poor. The imperial examination is a long process, and I don’t know when I will see the reward.”

Qi Qige sipped tea to moisten her throat, "The expenses of a family will only increase. Children will be born constantly, and when they grow up, they will marry wives and people. None of them need money. The children of poor families are already in charge of the family. , they have to go to work and earn money at a young age, otherwise, how can the whole family survive only on the support of the father?"

The fifth elder brother understood what Qiqige meant. The poor family was short of money and urgently needed their children to go out and make money.If he wants to help the poor, he must let them see the rewards in a short time.

It's just... something doesn't seem right.

Didn't he build a school to let himself teach freely?What else does he teach at Kaicheng Vocational Academy!He doesn't know how to be a bricklayer or carpenter, let alone blacksmithing and keeping accounts!

The fifth elder brother said angrily: "I was almost coaxed by the emperor's grandmother, I don't want to run a vocational school!"

"Hi! I'm just here to make a suggestion!" Qiqige laughed, "If you have a skill, you can't starve to death. It's better to rely on yourself than to rely on your parents. By the way, you are a skilled person now! You can Being a matchmaker and earning a matchmaker’s money is not the capital of your school.”

Speaking of matchmaker money, Brother Wu remembered that Huang Ama hadn't given him matchmaker money yet!He has to get the money back when he goes back!

It's getting late, Fifth Brother took Qiqige to buy a gold bracelet.

Qiqige smiled and said, "You have to think about it, even if you please me, I won't give you money."

"You are underestimating me by saying that. I am a big man, and a gentleman can't be chased after a word. If I say I will buy you a gold bracelet, I have to buy it for you. I am not flattering you, but purely filial to you."

After hearing this, Qiqige was very happy, she went to the silver building to pick out a gold bracelet inlaid with twisted silk and beads, and went back to the palace happily.

In the evening, Qiqige went to the small garden of Ningshou Palace to cool off, and the emperor came to talk to her.

"Emperor Niang, are you happy to go out of the palace?"

"Happy! Of course I'm happy!" Qiqige held up the gold bracelet on her wrist to show the emperor, "Look, Yinqi bought me a gold bracelet, isn't it beautiful!"

The emperor agreed with a smile, "It's not in vain for you to love him."

Qiqige told about the fact that someone asked the fifth elder brother to be a matchmaker, the emperor shook his head, and refused to let the fifth elder brother be a matchmaker again.

"In the past, he was asked to be a matchmaker for the princesses on purpose to make things difficult for him, and to let him retreat. I didn't expect him to do it. Now he can't do it. He is so old, what is wrong with him? Even if he is out of the palace Being a teacher is better than being a matchmaker!"

Qiqige: "I guessed that you couldn't agree, so I asked people to go back and wait for news. Yinqi still asks me for money today, and wants to build a college. I think he really wants to be a teacher, or you agree." He! People! Most of them spend their entire lives in a daze, fifth elder brother has something he really likes to do, we elders shouldn't stop us."

The emperor bowed his head and thought for a while.

When he had nothing to do, he carefully considered the future of the fifth elder brother.

At the beginning, he handed over the fifth elder brother to the concubine and queen mother from Mongolia to raise him, which showed that he gave up the fifth elder brother's studies and future.

E Wenzhu is addicted to playing cards. Although the queen mother is smart but hates reading, the emperor is even mentally prepared for the fifth elder brother to grow up to become a money addict and gambler.

But he didn't expect that the queen mother taught the fifth elder brother very well. Even though he hated reading, he patiently accompanied the fifth elder brother to study, and trained him to be a good man with both civil and military skills.

Such patience and companionship, even the fifth elder brother's biological concubine Erniang Yifei can't do it.

The fifth elder brother is so outstanding, the emperor wants to wait for him to get married and practice in the court.To be the arm of the new king in the future, or...

The emperor said: "The prince looked fine before, but now he is getting worse and worse. The princess concubine has already passed the door, and he still favors Fujin! Can't tell the difference!"

The emperor doesn't care who the prince favors, and he doesn't want to care about his son's backyard.He said that this was purely an expression of dissatisfaction with the prince through the prince's private affairs.

Qiqige glanced at him and sighed.

It is said that Jiulong's seizing the heir is very cruel, and it is not the time when the competition for the throne is the most intense, but Qi Qige has already felt the turbulent undercurrent of seizing the heir.

The queen is living well, and the emperor doesn't have to raise the prince himself, so the feelings for the prince are naturally weaker.The queen wanted to remove all obstacles for the prince, but the emperor had other sons besides the prince.Coupled with the fact that Suo'etu was agitating inside the palace, the emperor and the empress' mother and son were a little bit divorced.

Qiqige doesn't care or care about the candidate for the next emperor. No matter who inherits the throne, she is a respected emperor's grandmother.

From the current point of view, she hopes that the crown prince's position will be stable, and the crown prince's position will be stable, which will benefit both the former court and the harem.

Qiqige advised the emperor not to be too harsh on the prince, "It's no wonder the prince, you arranged several side Fujin and Gege for him before he got married, and his heart has been separated long ago. The princess is noble and dignified. What I learned is how to be a good princess, even if you ask her to put down her body and grab a man from Jian Fujin, she can't do it!"

Qiqige picked a peony and played with it in her hands, "If you want your son and daughter-in-law to be harmonious, then don't send your side Fujin Shu Fujin and concubine Gege in the future. If you have so many women, you won't be afraid of your son's kidney deficiency."

The emperor: "..." What I told you is not the same thing!

Qiqige handed the peony to the emperor, "Only Peony is really beautiful, you should be nice to the queen, set an example for your sons, and let them know that they should treat their wives with respect."

The emperor took the peony, "Emperor Niang, this is peony, not peony..."

"Yes, is it?" Qiqige took a closer look at the flower again. The flowers are layered on top of each other. Is it actually a peony? "I'm just borrowing flowers as an example. Don't pay attention to the details."

emperor:"……"

Qiqige stopped discussing peony and peony with him, and she turned the topic back to Fifth Prince.

"Yinqi wants to be a teacher, do you agree or disagree? This child has already started saving money, and you said before that as long as he facilitates the marriage of the three princesses, you will allow him to teach in the palace."

The emperor thought and thought, and finally agreed to let the fifth elder brother go out of the palace to teach.Anyway, he has many sons, so this one is not bad.

The fourth elder brother also grew up next to Qi Qige, so it is better to leave some things to him.

The eighth elder brother is smart and quick-witted, and he is a good boy.Ten 34 is still young, but he is also very smart. If he is trained well, he will not be worse than the fifth elder brother.

"Yinqi is determined to go out to teach in the palace, so go! I won't pay for him to build a school, let him figure out a way."

Qiqige smiled and said: "It's natural, this is what he has to do, let him toss about it by himself."

The emperor looked around, the servants serving him and Qiqige stood far away, he could speak out some confidential words with confidence.

"Emperor Niang, next year I may be in charge of Galdan again."

Qiqige frowned, "Why do you still go? There are so many generals in the court who are good at fighting, why do you have to go?"

The emperor: "It's hard for me to explain clearly in a few words. Galdan is a disciple of the living Buddha. He has appeal in Tibet and is supported by Tsarist Russia. I have to go to the imperial conquest, otherwise I won't be able to hold back."

Most of the Manchus and Mongols believe in Buddhism and respect the Living Buddha very much.Galdan can guide the soldiers' beliefs. Without the emperor, the real dragon emperor, it would be very difficult to do.

Although Qiqige knew that nothing would happen to the emperor's personal expedition, she still couldn't help thinking about it.She didn't dare to take it for granted. The queen and Niu Hulu were still alive and well, and things might develop differently.

"You must be careful when you go out. Just make up your mind about important military and political affairs, and don't rush forward foolishly. You have all kinds of pills, medicinal materials, and prescriptions, and you also bring medicines from Westerners. Don't be like Kangxi. It's like 29 years, being so seriously ill, it's frightening to death."

The emperor smiled and said: "Thank you, Empress Empress, for your concern, I will remember everything."

Smiling and laughing, the smile on the emperor's face suddenly faded.

"After I go to war, the crown prince will handle the government affairs on my behalf. The empress's mother is the elder, so you should worry more about family matters. Keep an eye on the queen, and don't let her do unnecessary things."

The emperor bluntly expressed his distrust of the queen.

Qiqige said: "Are you worrying too much? The queen is not that kind of person. She has been working diligently on palace affairs these years. Although she is not close enough to the other princes and princesses, she has not treated them harshly. Don't think too badly of the queen. gone."

The emperor said lightly: "I don't want to think too badly of my wife, just see what she does in the future!"

The emperor's personal conquest is a major military event and must be kept secret.Except for Qiqige, the queen and concubines have never heard of it. They are busy preparing for the wedding of the princesses.

The wedding dates of the princesses have been set, and the princess mansion has already been built, and they can live in it with just a few decorations.Because it was a happy event, everyone in the palace was beaming.

The emperor thought that the older elder brothers had also reached the age of starting a family and starting a business, so he ordered the Ministry of Industry to build the elder brother's mansion, and when the elder brothers got married, they would be released from the palace to start the mansion after living in the palace for a year or two.

The emperor agreed that the fifth elder brother would go out of the palace to build a school to teach. Now the fifth elder brother runs around the palace every day, busy like a spinning top.

Seeing the elder brother's house that is already laying the foundation, think again that he has not married a wife so far.The fifth elder brother ran to ask the emperor if he could turn the elder brother's mansion into a school, so that he could save a sum of money to build a house.

Don't worry about marrying a daughter-in-law. After he has established a career, it will be too late for him to marry a daughter-in-law.

Even if he has not had time to establish a career, he is not afraid of marrying his wife back first, the couple will live in the palace, and the emperor Ama will cover all the food, clothing, housing and transportation, and Er Niang will often help, saving money!

The emperor learned of Fifth Prince's unreasonable request, and only sent him one word, scram!

Time flies, and it will be the 35th year of Kangxi in a blink of an eye.In the first month, the emperor issued an order for the imperial conquest, and in February, the emperor led the army to the expedition.

The elder brother, the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother went out with them, and the prince stayed in the capital to handle government affairs.The fifth elder brother also stayed in the capital and continued to build his school.

Qiqige ordered the palace to guard the gate tightly, and not to leave the palace at will unless there is an urgent matter.

In order to make it easier to go out of the palace to do business, the fifth elder brother directly moved and lived in the guest room of the princess's mansion, and even called it to add some popularity to the princess' mansion.

He also said that in order to avoid people saying that he favors one another, he will live in the three princess residences in turn for a few days, so that the three sisters can feel his sincerity.

The three princesses also felt that it was inconvenient to go in and out of the palace, so the three sisters all lived in the second princess's mansion, and the three of them became companions together.

The fifth prince's school has already been built. It is a small yard, located outside the city, relatively remote and desolate.There is nothing around but trees and grass.If you ride a horse for a quarter of an hour, you can see a Zhuangzi.

The vicinity of the school and Zhuangzi have been bought by the fifth elder brother. He is not satisfied with just building a small school. He wants to cover the wasteland near the school with houses and build a big academy.In the future, when he has money, he will build another vocational academy as the emperor's grandmother said.

When the three princesses had nothing to do, they went to the fifth elder brother's school to see when the school would open and if there was anything they could help.

The fifth elder brother took his sisters around the school. There are only two rooms in the study room. One is for the older children studying the fourth book, and the other is for the younger children to enlighten.

There was another room for the gentlemen, and another room for the kitchen, with two stoves and two cauldrons.

The eldest princess said: "This is too crude. I remember that Huang Ama gave you 1000 taels of money to thank the matchmaker. You also took on two matchmaking jobs in private. At least you have to earn 400 taels, right? Sister The brothers even gave you a job as a supporter of your cause. I guess you have 2000 taels of silver in your hands, why did you only build so few rooms?"

The second princess said: "Yes! This is too shabby, how does it look like the academy built by the emperor?"

The third princess said: "Don't you cry poor with us in the future, we don't believe it!"

The fifth elder brother shouted: "My good sisters! I really have no money! I bought the surrounding land and the Zhuangzi nearby. The land near the capital! Although it is wasteland, it is also valuable. Let’s go! My 2000 taels of silver have been spent on the land!”

The eldest princess nodded, "That's true, the land is a bit more expensive."

The third princess asked him, "You bought the land near here so that you can use it to build a house in the future. I can understand that. Why did you buy Zhuangzi?"

"My good sister, I grew up delicate and delicate beside the imperial grandmother. Would you let me live in the school? It's so simple, I absolutely refuse! So I bought the nearby Zhuangzi, and I will live in it in the future." In Zhuangzi."

Speaking of Zhuangzi, the fifth elder brother felt a burst of heartache again, "I only hate that I am greedy for enjoyment and think that Zhuangzi is vulgar. I arranged it carefully and spent a lot of money."

The second princess smiled and said, "How is Zhuangzi's arrangement? I want to go and have a look!"

The fifth elder brother said: "Second sister, don't worry, Zhuangzi hasn't finished decorating yet! When Zhuangzi is finished, I invite all brothers and sisters to go shopping and relax. My tasteful sisters don't worry, I guarantee that Zhuangzi will Rustic and wild.”

The princesses laughed and said, "Okay, we'll just wait for your post."

The third princess is in charge of the business of the charity hall, and is very insightful about increasing revenue and reducing expenditure.

She said to the fifth elder brother: "Don't grow flowers and plants in the village. Not to mention taking up space, you have to find someone who understands flowers and trees to take good care of them. You plant some melons, fruits and vegetables, which are better than flowers and plants."

The fifth elder brother said: "Third sister and I thought of a place to go. Although expensive flowers and plants can also be sold for money, but I put all my energy in the school. Is it possible that I need to find someone to help me with the flower and tree business? Then Zhuangzi is not big, and the scale of the flower and tree business is not enough. It is really not cost-effective to find someone to watch over it. It is better to grow some vegetables and bring them to the school. I provide students with food and drink here, and growing vegetables myself can save a lot of money. "

The eldest princess asked again: "When will you recruit students?"

"Wait a little longer, I'll recruit two more gentlemen. Students are easy to find, and they only provide food. I don't know how many people are willing to send their children here."

The second princess asked: "Are you concentrating and cultivating?"

The fifth elder brother said: "Take it! No matter how much it is, you have to give it to Shu Xiu. It's not that I'm stingy. Most people don't know how to cherish it. If I don't charge a penny, those students will eat and drink for nothing. I'm not teaching students. It turned into teaching white-eyed wolves. As long as they are paid, they will study hard to get back their money."

The three princesses nodded together, "That makes sense."

After visiting the fifth elder brother's school, the four of them returned to the city together.

It just so happened that they were free today, and they planned to go back to the palace to pay respects to Qiqige and the Queen.

After entering the inner city, the eldest princess raised the curtain of the carriage and looked out.

Most of the people living in the inner city are banner people. In the early days of the Shunzhi Dynasty, there were deep conflicts between Manchu and Han.In order to reduce the conflict between Manchu and Han, Emperor Shunzhi decreed that banner people live in the inner city, and Han people live in the outer city.When allocating residences in the inner city, Emperor Shunzhi allocated them according to the divisions of the Eight Banners.

It is different now, some Han Chinese have also moved into the inner city to live.The houses of Bannermen can be bought and sold. Some of them have unfilial sons and grandchildren who have lost their family property and sold their houses. Some people think that the houses in the inner city are too small, so they directly move to the outer city to buy a big house.

The eldest princess and the third princess sat on the same side, looking at the vendors on the street.

The third princess rubbed her eyes suddenly, "Why do the two boys over there look like old nine and ten?"

The eldest princess poked her head out and looked out, "Where is it? I was just looking at the peddler blowing sugar, so I didn't notice it."

The third princess sighed: "I can't see it anymore, those two people entered the alley in a blink of an eye. Maybe I was wrong, the palace is strictly guarded, and they can't get out."

The fifth elder brother also glanced in the direction of the alley. The alley is not a good place.

After entering the palace, the four siblings greeted Qiqige first, talked with her for a while, and then went to greet the queen.

The queen treated them lightly, and sent them away after saying a few polite words.

The eldest princess went to Ningshou Palace again, and the other three went to pay their respects to their biological mothers.

The fifth elder brother arrived at Yifei's place, and Yifei was very happy to see him.

"You are busy with those useless things all day long, and you don't know how often you come back to the palace to see me. Now your heart is even more wild, and you actually live outside the palace. You haven't got a family yet! When you get married, yes Didn't you just throw Erniang aside?"

Fifth elder brother and even Er Niang's temper, his mouth seemed to be smeared with honey for a while.

"What did Erniang say? You see, I've lost weight. I just think about Erniang! I'm different from ordinary men. I can't forget Erniang when I marry a daughter-in-law. Erniang is the best in the world. Already!"

Concubine Yi was coaxed into a smile, and she poked fifth brother's forehead, "You know how to coax me!"

She called for tea and snacks again, "Take out all the good tea and make it for Brother Fifth, wrap up the rest and take it away for Brother Fifth."

She said to the fifth elder brother again: "I won't pack it for you when you eat snacks. It's better to eat fresh food. If you want to eat something, send someone to tell me. I'll make it for you in advance. You come Eat ready-made ones!"

The fifth elder brother smiled and said: "It's better to be born with your own mother! Er Niang, you can keep the good tea for yourself, or you can drink it for Huang Ama when she comes back."

Concubine Yi sighed: "Your Emma is not here, I can't drink the good tea. I don't know how your Emma is doing outside, it's bitter cold outside the Great Wall, leading soldiers to fight, eating and sleeping in the open, I don't know what's going on with the Emperor .”

The emperor tried his best to treat the concubines in the palace with a bowl of water, and when he was gentle and careless, it was easy for people to indulge in involuntarily.He often wrote letters when he was away from home, and favored concubines like Concubine Yi and Defei often received letters in Manchu written by him, and they would reply in Manchu.

The fifth elder brother couldn't bear the sadness of his mother, so he quickly changed the topic.

"It's time for the ninth brother to be out of school, right? Why isn't the ninth brother seen?"

Speaking of her son, Concubine Yi immediately forgot about the emperor.

She complained: "Your ninth brother is as virtuous as you. He stays away all day long! He is about the same age as eighth elder brother and tenth elder brother, and hangs out with each other every day. He just sent someone back, saying that he is going to have sex with eighth elder brother. , Elder Brother Ten are doing their homework together, so I won’t be here today, and I’ll come back tomorrow morning to say hello.”

The fifth elder brother nodded, "It's great to have a playmate to do homework with! Unlike me, I didn't like doing homework with the fourth brother when I was young."

Yifei laughed and said: "Because fourth elder brother is more diligent than you and better at homework than you, you are jealous of him!"

"Er Niang, don't expose me!"

Concubine Yi sighed: "Si elder brother has a tough temper and looks difficult to get along with, but he is sincere in heart, I would be happy to let you associate with him. Although tenth elder brother is naughty but simple and honest, I am also willing to let your ninth brother be with him Let's play together. Only this eighth elder brother, I didn't like to see him when he was young. I always feel that this kid has too many eyes!"

The fifth elder brother is a few years older than the eighth elder brother, and he rarely plays with him, so he doesn't know much about the eighth elder brother.

"I think Lao Ba is very well-behaved. Does he have a lot of eyes?"

Concubine Yi glared at her son, "Don't underestimate him because he is young, he can win people's hearts. No one in the palace will say good things about him. Hmph, that stupid ninth brother of yours runs behind his ass every day. Very promising. If there is a distinction between high and low, I am a concubine, so what is the eighth elder brother's mother."

The fifth elder brother patted Yifei on the back, telling her to keep her voice down, she looked down on her in her heart, as long as she understood it in her heart, wouldn't it be offensive to say so carelessly?

"Since Erniang doesn't want the ninth brother to play with the eighth brother, why don't you care about him?"

Talking about this Concubine Yi, I feel wronged, "Why didn't I say that? I said something to your brother, and he has ten or eight sentences waiting for me. I quarreled with him a few times, and my heart hurts from anger. I want more After living for a few years, I don't bother to quarrel with him anymore. It's just a playmate, he can play with whoever he likes!"

The fifth elder brother persuaded Concubine Yi to relax, "The eighth younger brother is more tactful, but he is not mean-spirited. Er Niang will follow the ninth younger brother's wishes, and he can play with whoever he likes! We have lived in elder brother's house since a long time ago. , the ninth brother often stays with the eighth and tenth brothers, so they naturally play together. When they leave the palace and build a mansion in the future, they will be far away, and each has their own errands, so they won't be as close as they are now gone."

Concubine Yi sighed: "You are right, who can tell what will happen in the future, let your younger brother go! It's all because I spoiled him, now he doesn't listen to me anymore."

Fifth elder brother persuaded him for a while, he stayed at Yifei's place, and returned to elder brother's place after dinner.

When he arrived at elder brother's place, he walked a few steps forward and went to eighth elder brother's place.

Brother Ba is practicing calligraphy. He has no talent in calligraphy, and his handwriting is limp after practice. He is often criticized by the emperor.

"Fifth brother is here! What a rare visitor! Come here, make tea!"

Fifth elder brother stopped him, "Don't be too busy, I'll come over for a stroll when I have nothing to do, and I'll leave in a while."

Eighth Prince smiled. He looked like his biological mother. When he smiled, he had two dimples on his cheeks, which was very cute.

"Fifth brother finally came here, so he didn't sit for a while."

The fifth elder brother smiled and said: "Oh, I'm not busy! There are a lot of things every day, and I am so busy that I am so busy. I finally went back to the palace today, thinking about chatting with Jiudi. I heard that Jiudi is in If you are doing homework with you, I will come directly."

The eighth elder brother smiled bitterly, "the fifth brother's news is not true, the ninth brother is not with me. He and the tenth brother go out to mischief, and often use me as a shield. Go to the imperial garden to pick flowers, and tell the imperial concubine and Yifei to do homework here. , to dig for the emperor’s grandmother’s food, and also said to do homework with me.”

The fifth elder brother smiled and said: "I understand, I understand. I did the same thing when I was young. At that time, I was relying on the fourth brother. It seems that we are worthy of being brothers, and we all have the same virtue."

The fifth elder brother got up and yawned, "Since the ninth brother is not here, I won't bother you. You should go to bed early. I have been running all day, so I have to go back to sleep quickly."

The eighth elder brother hurriedly saw off the guests, "Fifth brother is tired, so I won't keep fifth brother, we brothers will talk another day."

The eighth elder brother sent the fifth elder brother away, and sent him far away, watching him enter his small courtyard before going back.

The fifth elder brother went back to the yard and sat for a while, but the ninth brother was not with the eighth brother, could it be that he was in his own yard?

The third sister said that she saw someone who looked like the ninth brother and the tenth brother. It is reasonable to say that people are similar, which is not unusual, but if two people are similar, it is not normal.

The fifth elder brother waited for a while, and when it was time to go to bed, he quietly went to the ninth elder brother's small courtyard without bringing anyone else.

Brother Nine's small courtyard had already locked the gate, Brother Five didn't knock on the door, and didn't make any noise, he stepped on the wall and went in directly over the wall.

The night watchman saw a black shadow coming in, and was about to shout out in fright, but Fifth Prince silenced him.

"Keep your voice down, where's your elder brother?"

The night watchman was so frightened that his legs trembled, "Brother... Brother has already fallen asleep."

"I'll go take a look."

The night watchman hurriedly stopped him, "Fifth brother, fifth brother, please stay, my brother is really asleep!"

The fifth elder brother pushed away the night watchman, "We are brothers, even if he is really asleep, what's the matter if I take a look?"

As he spoke, he pushed open the door and went inside.Lifting the bed curtain, there was no one on the bed, and the quilt was neatly arranged.

The fifth elder brother turned around and asked the night watchman, "Where is your elder brother?"
