The place where Kangxi stayed.
King Darhan and his sons knelt on the ground.
They begged Kangxi to stay for another day tomorrow and allow the princes of Horqin's left wing to attend the banquet.
Today's banquet, although it is in the palace, is the princess and her husband-in-law.
Kangxi personally helped King Darhan up: "There is no need for this..."
Just as the blood of Horqin flows in Kangxi's body, King Darhan also inherits the blood of Aixinjueluo family.
His grandmother was the princess, the adopted daughter of Emperor Taizong, and the eldest daughter of Prince Yue Tuo of Keqin County.
His mother is the great-granddaughter of Shuerhaqi, Prince Zhuang of the county.
Of his three aunts, two are princes and one is the mourning concubine of Shizu.
His sister was Borjigit, the concubine of Xianfu Palace in Kangxi's harem.
King Darkhan showed a look of shame on his face: "I am incompetent and cannot advise the eldest princess..."
The news that the eldest princess left the banquet rudely has spread.
How could Prince Darhan and his son not be frightened?
You must know that Horqin has more than one palace.
Today, there are three hereditary princes' palaces that are not demoted, and there are two on the left wing alone.
In addition to their Prince Heshuo Darhan's Mansion, there is also Prince Heshuo Zhuoliktu's Mansion.
Starting from the late Empress Dowager, the relationship between the two left-wing palaces and the imperial court was almost the same.
But in recent years, as the older generation has withered away, the support of the new princess has also begun to change.
Kangxi's expression did not change: "I will go to worship Heshuo, the prince-in-law..."
Heshuo, the consort of Heshuo, practiced rituals with Manzhu, Kangxi's great-uncle and the first king of Darhan.
With gratitude on his face, King Darkhan knelt down again: "I thank you for your kindness..."
*
Silence returned to the small courtyard where the princes stayed.
Brother Jiu looked at Shu Shu and couldn't move his eyes away, but he said in a sinister manner: "What kind of makeup is this? It exposes arms and legs. Isn't it cold?"
Shu Shu rolled her eyes at him and tied the outer robe to cover the suspender skirt underneath.
This robe is in the style of a yukata.
The small sling inside is made of translucent gauze.
On the table is the wishful cake that Shu Shu asked Xiaotang to make in advance.
Today, August 27th, is Brother Jiu’s sixteenth birthday.
Life should have a sense of ritual.
Shu Shu did not prepare a simple birthday cake.
The cake base was just a chicken cake, which had already been on the menu of the second restaurant. It was nothing new, and it tended to smell fishy when it was cold.
The first thing she thought of was "Dingsheng cake". She thought it had a good meaning and was easier to make. It is a fermented rice cake.
When she thought about the legend about the origin of Dingsheng cake, she gave up the idea and chose Ruyi cake.
Ruyi cake can also be called Ruyi cold cake.
It's made of glutinous rice, sesame seeds, and red bean paste. It's very simple and sounds auspicious.
It was a special order, and the shape was not rolled, but like a layer cake, made into a circle.
Brother Jiu saw the large round cake that was almost a foot long and hesitated: "Why do you think of eating this? It's not easy to overcome?"
Shu Shu didn't reply, but pulled him to sit down at the table.
She reached out and took out a thin red candle as long as her thumb, inserted it into the wishful cake, lit it, and said to Brother Jiu with a smile: "It's my birthday today, please make a wish!"
"Do you remember?"
Brother Jiu felt aggrieved: "I thought you forgot, there was no movement all day..."
Shu Shu smiled at him and said, "I told you earlier, isn't there no surprise?"
Brother Ninth's eyes fell on Shu Shu, thinking about the situation just now, his mind was trembling, and he coughed lightly: "Then I'm waiting for a surprise..."
Following Shu Shu's soft instructions, Brother Jiu closed his eyes, made a wish on the wishful cake, and then blew out the candle.
"What wish did you make?"
Shu Shu asked curiously.
Brother Jiu's eyes wandered: "Don't ask, it won't work if you just say it..." As he said that, in order to distract from the conversation, he took out a knife and wanted to cut the cake to eat.
Shu Shu hurriedly took away the wishful cake together with the plate: "I just said it can't be melted, why do you want to eat it again? You should save it for breakfast tomorrow..."
There are ready covers on the table.
Shu Shu picked it up and covered the wishful cake.
Brother Ninth had been holding it in for a day and finally started to complain: "Even if Khan Ama doesn't remember my birthday, will my mother forget it too? I usually prefer Brother Five, so I won't say anything. This time I didn't even care about my birthday." , are they biological or not..."
Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will arrive.
As soon as Brother Jiu finished speaking, He Yuzhu came in and reported: "Master, Fujin, Aunt Xianglan just sent someone to say that the empress is coming this way..."
"Ah? It's this hour, what are you doing here?"
Brother Jiu was confused and didn't think about himself.
Shu Shu had already entered the inner room, quickly changed out of her bathrobe, and put on some old and new home clothes. Her hair, which was originally loose, was simply tied up, neatly, and her expression was somewhat dignified.
It took about half a cup of tea, a young eunuch held a lamp, and Concubine Yi came slowly with fragrant orchid.
Shu Shu and Brother Jiu were already waiting at the entrance of the courtyard.
The couple welcomed Concubine Yi into the east wing.
Brother Jiu sat on Concubine Yi's left hand.
Shu Shu served tea and was pulled by Concubine Yi to sit on her right side.
"Why are you here in the middle of the night? If I had an order, I would have summoned my son..."
Brother Jiu said.
Yi Fei hummed softly: "I gave birth to you, and I still don't know your pettiness? If I don't come, I'm afraid you will be talking about it for half a year."
Brother Jiu smiled and said: "That's not possible. It's only ten days and a half months at most. Why don't you allow your son to talk about it? It's okay if others don't remember your son's birthday. Even you don't remember it, which makes people feel uncomfortable..."
"My son's birthday is my mother's Good Friday! What is there to remember? If I could go back in time, I wish I had never given birth to you, so I wouldn't have to worry about you endlessly."
Concubine Yi said with disgust on her face.
Brother Jiu was dissatisfied: "Look at what E Niang said, my son has no merit at all? Even my fifth brother is stupid and can't please others, so you need to worry about it... In the future, E Niang wants to enjoy children and grandchildren. For your blessing, you still have to count on your son and your son Fujin..."
Yifei smiled: "I didn't expect you could still count on me?"
Brother Jiu felt proud and nodded solemnly: "Of course, I will wait for my son to be filial to me from now on!"
It's not early, it's almost time to arrive.
After the mother and son argued for a while, Concubine Yi stopped talking and took out a purse: "I haven't prepared anything for you even for a birthday. I'll just leave these private rooms for you. Don't keep digging around. I spend my days thinking about money..."
This is what Concubine Yi said when the news spread today that Brother Jiu was chasing Prince Horqin Taiji to customize a gold belt.
Brother Jiu didn't take the purse and explained for himself: "Is it for money, son? Is it just to vent your anger! If you are disrespectful to the Queen Mother and rude to your mother, you can't bear this anger in vain!"
Yi Fei's eyes widened: "Then when you are angry, hand over the gold!"
Brother Jiu frowned: "Who should I leave it to? I don't have the money to do it. Is this a waste of money?"
Yi Fei was furious and opened her purse directly, revealing the five thousand taels of banknotes inside: "Look carefully, am I empty-handed?"
Brother Jiu couldn't figure it out: "What's the deal with E Niang? One five thousand taels in exchange for two or three five thousand taels from my son?"
"Stop being so petty! You are so poor, can I still cut off your flesh to support your fifth brother?"
Concubine Yi also had a solemn expression on her face: "Leave it to the Emperor! Who else can I leave it to besides the Emperor?!"
Brother Ninth Brother was still reluctant: "What's the use of showing this courtesy? It's not like changing the title... Besides, Khan Ama is not short of money, and there is still less..."
Concubine Yi spoke so loudly that she took a few sips of tea, looked at Shu Shu sitting on her right, and took her hand: "If you were E Niang's girl, how much worry would E Niang have to worry about?! This is My son, I gave birth to him, I will endure it no matter how impatient I am, if I am a stupid uncle, I will not even bother to talk to him..." ŴŴŴ.
Shu Shu couldn't say anything else, so he said with a smile: "Our master is sincere, and there are things we can't think of at the moment."
Concubine Yi looked at Brother Jiu and said, "I'll learn from you Fujin. You'll be generous and generous, and you'll look royal and noble!"
Brother Jiu was surprised and looked at Shu Shu: "What did you do again?"
Shu Shu said honestly: "I just borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha..." As he said that, he talked about the situation at today's banquet in a few words.
After hearing this, Brother Jiu's face drooped and he became irritated: "It's not over yet, is it?! You bully others based on your seniority, and you have a bad mouth! It seems that it is an advantage for their family. Her sons should be two for each. Three gold belts are fixed..."
Concubine Yi looked at Brother Ninth and hated the iron: "You are so stupid that you can't even follow your example of Fujin? Their sisters-in-law all know that gold cannot be collected, how can you collect it?! It seems that our court is shabby. Is that so? They are all Horqin’s old relatives, we can’t afford to disgrace that person! Do you have to make people laugh, just say that the Ninth Prince is poor and greedy for money?”
Brother Jiu frowned: "To put it another way, all Mongolian tribes are related by marriage? Didn't the Haraqin tribe also accept them? No one said anything."
Concubine Yi shook her head: "It's different! This is Horqin, not only the Queen Mother's natal family, but also the Queen Mother's natal family!"
Ordinary people, orphans and widowers have a difficult life, let alone the royal family.
The two young rulers of the Qing Dynasty came to the throne with the help of Horqin.
Even though Horqin didn't have a real sword or spear to fight for Emperor Shizu and Jinshang, as long as he stood there, the prince of the Eight Banners would think about it.
The population of the Eight Banners is small, Mongolia is an indispensable partner, and the Horqin Department cannot be ignored.
Therefore, even if Kangxi was not worried about the eldest princess being so rude and disobedient today, he would turn a blind eye or close an eye to the Queen Mother, and he would not bear to anger Prince Horqin because of their relationship in the early years.
"All right!"
Brother Jiu lost his smile and took out the customized order: "It's so cheap, Ama. I'll send my son there tomorrow morning. At least I'll have eighteen thousand taels of silver left... For this, my son will be given to Lao Shi and Lao Shi." Old Thirteen promised two golden belts..."
Yi Fei pushed her purse forward: "Can't I give you some supplies? It's a good day, don't be embarrassed... Be happy, this year will go well..."
After saying that, she helped Xianglan get up: "We have to get up early tomorrow, so you should rest early..."
Shu Shu and his ninth brother sent them out in person and watched as Concubine Yi and her entourage left slowly.
Just as the couple was about to turn around, two eunuchs came over from the yard next to them. They were the people around the eldest brother and the fifth brother...
