Mrs. Guo Luoluo is both the elder of the clan and the elder of the family-in-law.
If we talk about seniority and inferiority, it's a mess.
The Eight Banners also have the old custom of respecting the elderly.
If they and the couple directly show the relationship between the prince's elder brother and prince Fujin and deny their relatives, that would be a mouthful.
The eighth elder brother considered it carefully and said: "My son will come to plead guilty after withdrawing the complaint."
Kangxi looked at him, without nodding or shaking his head, and just said: "Kneel down!"
The eighth prince bowed down.
Kangxi was thoughtful for a while, then looked at Liang Jiugong and said, "How would the prince deal with this matter if he changed his position?"
It was about the prince, so Liang Jiugong didn't dare to answer the question casually. He thought carefully for a while and then said: "If it is the prince, no one would dare to offend him."
The key is that the Crown Princess is not the kind of person who makes trouble out of nothing.
If there was a conflict between relatives and they couldn't get to the prince, they would ask the prince to resolve it.
"What about the eldest brother, third brother, and fourth brother?"
Kangxi continued to ask.
Liang Jiugong hesitated for a moment and said: "Maybe he is similar to the prince..."
The eldest brother is the eldest son of the emperor, and he has also been granted the title of county prince. Even the princes of the clan treat him politely. Who dares to act as a senior to him?
Not to mention the uncle-in-law, even the mother-in-law would not dare to point fingers.
The third elder brother seems to be kind, but he keeps a distance from everyone and will not be approached for no reason.
As for the fourth elder brother, he has a serious temper and loves to follow rules.
Not to mention outsiders, even among brothers, they mostly avoid him and will not take the initiative to provoke him.
Kangxi did not ask about the remaining fifth elder brother and seventh elder brother, two of whom were also princes.
No one would dare to make trouble.
Only Eighth Prince, who seems to be the most kind and considerate to others, has lost the respect of the prince, and naturally others are less afraid of him.
The eighth prince himself always puts himself very low. Otherwise, if Mrs. Guo Luoluo made a noise in Baylor Mansion this time and hurt the prince Fujin, she should have come to the house to plead guilty.
Now, it's upside down.
Kangxi had no intention of letting Eighth Prince correct himself.
He lowered his head and looked at the folder in his hand. It was the list of Zhenglan Banner's subordinates.
There are a total of seventeen assistant leaders under the Second Counselor, among which the Guo Luoluo family accounts for five.
The four auxiliary collars were established when the dynasty was first established. They were directly affiliated with the Abatai Banner of Raoyu County King. The current three are under the banner of Anjun Wangwang, and one is the auxiliary collar that has been removed from Beizi Yunduan.
There is also a new leader who was born from the population growth in thirty-four years.
The eighth prince took the banner, and the last two subordinates were directly assigned to the eighth prince's name.
I used to think that with Ba Fujin here and two more assistant leaders from the Guo Luoluo family, Ba Age would easily gain a foothold in the Zhenglan Banner and would gradually take over the flag affairs in the future.
Now it seems that it is a luxury.
Ninth brother.
Kangxi hesitated for a moment and closed the book again.

If it is short-term and fails, it is called Shang. If it is not successful, it is called Shang.
There is no mourning for the first three months of life, there is no mourning for those under seven years old, there is lower mourning for eight to eleven years old, for middle mourning for those between twelve and fifteen years old, and for upper mourning between sixteen and nineteen years old.
Mo Hui was sixteen years old and was in mourning.
Guo Luoluo's family also has to arrange funeral arrangements.
Just because it is a funeral, it should be simpler than a normal funeral.
In addition, since he died unexpectedly, he could not be mourned at home and could only be buried in the temple.
Anyway, it only took a few days. By the time Shu Shu heard the news about Guo Luoluo's family again, it was already the battle over Mo Hui's camp and burial.
According to the rules, the deceased cannot enter the ancestral graves.
But Mo Hui's age is not that of a young man.
"Gushan Gege withdrew from the marriage in the Duke's Mansion and hired a girl who died last year to marry her son in secret. This way it is not a tragedy..."
The ninth elder brother talked about the gossip outside and sighed to Shu Shu: "It seems that the second brother of Ba Fujin was forced to swear that the first son born in the future will be adopted under the name of Mo Hui and enshrine Mo Hui's incense... This The old lady is really worried about being so far away even if her son is gone."
However, Shu Shu was deeply impressed by her cousin. She was a decent person, not an unreasonable old lady.
She thought for a while and said: "This condition must be what An Na's two nephews want..."
Although Mo Hui's death was caused by a combination of circumstances and not man-made, it was still in the middle, and there would be some thorns in getting along with him in the future.
This opened up the conditions, and also took a step back, giving each other a step forward.
The old and young men of the Eight Banners were all waiting to see the excitement, but they did not expect it to end like this.
The lawsuit was settled.
It seems that "the thunder is loud and the raindrops are light".
But another life was lost, and this matter was really not a big deal.
Some people are staring at Dong E's side, thinking not to follow the example of the other side. When the time comes, big things will be reduced to trivial matters, and it will be meaningless.
Presumably they were afraid, so before Peng Chun's funeral, brothers Fu Han and Fu Hai went to the Bujun Dutong Yamen to surrender and admit the false accusation.
It's just that this time the brothers didn't accuse each other of being the mastermind. Instead, they unanimously determined that Xizhu was the mastermind.
Xi Zhu first showed his wounds and said that his legitimate mother and uncle were unkind, and then he said that he didn't want anything else but to keep his property.
The Fuhan brothers were partly chivalrous and partly greedy, which led to the subsequent accusations.
When Xi Zhu was summoned, Xi Zhu denied the matter again.
Both parties have no evidence and can prove themselves.
It’s just a mess anyway.

Forbidden City, Second Institute.
Shu Shu encountered a problem and was looking through the book of favors at home.
Wufu Jin's grandfather was promoted from the governor of Shaanxi Province to the right minister of the Ministry of War and was about to return to Beijing.
Although the governor is from the second rank, and the right minister of the Ministry of War is also from the second rank, they seem to be on the same level, but if the locality is transferred to the capital, they are still on the same level, and they are considered promoted.
They are the in-laws and elders, so they must send a congratulatory gift.
But this gift list is difficult to draw up and there is no precedent.
When Brother Jiu came back for lunch, Shu Shu told him about the matter and said, "You can ask Si Beile and Qi Beile later when you meet him, otherwise I don't know what to do..."
Brother Jiu frowned and said, "Is this a preparatory gift? Didn't Zhang Bao make any preparations when he was promoted to doctor?"
Shu Shu shook his head and said, "How can it be the same?"
His family is not divided, the old man is the head of the family, and he has been promoted to the imperial court, which is worthy of congratulations.
Brother Ninth said: "Okay, I will ask Fourth Brother and Seventh Brother tomorrow when I meet them."
After washing up and setting the dining table, Brother Jiu talked about the Fuhan brothers.
"A coward, if you dare to do it, don't do it..."
He looked down upon them very much and said: "Are you really just trying to support them so that their brothers can get away with it? It's just a dream!"
At this point, he couldn't make up his mind, and said: "My father-in-law is obstructing Xi Zhu, so he doesn't want to reconcile, right?"
The previous lawsuit against Guo Luoluo's family was withdrawn because a settlement file had to be submitted to settle the case.
Brother Jiu was worried that his father-in-law would be soft-hearted and he would do the same because of Xizhu.
Shu Shu shook her head and said, "Amma can't."
Amma is soft-hearted, but she has to divide her time and people.
Is Seok-joo innocent?
If he was completely innocent, Amma would protect him and not let anyone involve him.
But Xi Zhu is not innocent, and Amma will not "repay evil with kindness".
Brother Jiu felt relieved and said: "That's good, otherwise it will be like a farce. It is obviously a lawsuit before the emperor, but it ends in an anticlimax. I'm afraid Khan Ama won't be happy."
Shu Shu thought that it was already the end of May, and Concubine Yi's delivery date was approaching, and asked, "Have you met the imperial doctor on duty these days? What did the imperial doctor say to the empress?"
Brother Jiu said: "I think my mother-in-law has been well-raised for just a few days."
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Song came in with an anxious face and said, "Master, Fujin, Aunt Peilan sent someone to say that it was the empress who started it..."
Brother Jiu was stunned.
Shu Shu didn't care about the meal anymore. She had already stood up and called Xiao Chun, saying, "Bring me some clothes from outside."
She was wearing a light green shirt with a bright base. It looked cool, and it felt bad to go out.
Xiao Chun went to find a peacock blue cloak of the same texture and put it on her, with a swastika pattern on her head and flat boat-soled flag shoes underneath.
Shu Shu did not call the girl who was following, but brought Aunt Qi and Zhou Song with her.
This is because they are afraid that giving birth will scare them and make them fear it in the future.
She hurriedly came out of the second house, and Brother Jiu followed her carelessly.
Shu Shu glanced at him and said, "It's not easy for me to enter the inner court, so what are you doing with me?"
Even if it is a biological mother and son, in the forbidden palace, the concubine must avoid the son, especially the adult prince.
Unless it is an imperial edict, or it is like the "first meeting ceremony" after the prince's wedding.
Otherwise, it would be a crime for Ninth Prince to enter the inner court without any intention.
Brother Jiu gritted his teeth and said, "I can't sit still in the second house, so I have to stay closer to here."
Speaking of this, he said: "I'm going to the Qianqing Palace. I think Khan Ama will be waiting for me. I will be with Khan Ama..."
When Shu Shu saw this, he didn't stop him. He only reminded: "Remember to send someone to tell Fifth Brother!"
"Uh-huh!"
Brother Jiu nodded in agreement.
The couple walked in a hurry and arrived at Guangsheng Youmen in less than half a quarter of an hour.
Shu Shu entered the West Sixth Palace, and Brother Jiu stood there for a while before heading to the Yuehua Gate leading to the Qianqing Palace Square.
When he arrived at the gate of Qianqing Palace and called for someone to pass the news, the eunuch hesitated a little and said, "Master Jiu, the emperor is having a meal..."
"Gulu."
Brother Jiu's stomach growled in response.
The couple were chatting just now, but they came out before even using their chopsticks.
"Isn't that just right? I can still eat a few more bites..."
Brother Ninth said.
The eunuch stopped saying anything and went in to report.
Beside the dining table in Xinuang Pavilion, stood a young and beautiful woman in palace attire, who was none other than the noble Guarja who was now in the royal family.
Upon hearing Brother Ninth's request to see him, Kangxi frowned, waved his hand to Guarjia, and said, "You go down first, and come back later to accompany you!"
Behind the Qianqing Palace is the Immortal Tower, which is the pavilion inside the palace.
There is a residence promised by Qianqing Palace, as well as a living and resting place for the concubine who comes to accompany you.
The nobleman Guarjia was so blessed that he came out of Xinuang Pavilion and followed the palace servants to Houtouxian Pavilion.
Brother Jiu stood at the door of Qianqing Palace and looked at it. What didn't he understand?
He drooped his head, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Although I have known for a long time that Khan's wife has many concubines, and in recent years she has also doted on young concubines, but today is the day when the mother-in-law gives birth to a child.
When he entered Xinuang Pavilion, he was also in a state of mourning, without any of the usual fuss.
Kangxi saw this and said: "Are you worried about your mother? It doesn't have to be like this. The imperial doctor said that the pregnancy is fine..."
Brother Jiu glanced up at him. He didn't want to bring up the unlucky topic, but he still couldn't help but curse in his heart. To Han Ama, the empress was just one of the concubines, but to him, she was the only one. Mother.
Kangxi glanced at him and saw that his eyes were red, and said disgustedly: "You panic when something happens. Are you still a child? Can't you be calmer?"
Brother Jiu pursed his lips and remembered the words "care leads to chaos".
Khan Ama can be so calm, it seems that the love of E Niang is really thin.
Poor empress, she is getting old and losing her beauty. She should be more filial in the future.
