"I heard that Chun Tai and Qi Xi have entered the palace. Could it be that someone is eyeing the Zhenghong Banner Commander and wants to frame Qi Xi?"
The third elder brother touched his chin, thinking a little more complicated.
A good person dies, and it looks like he has been silenced, but if you think about it carefully, it looks more like framing someone.
By then, Qi Xi's reputation will be ruined.
You must know that the person in charge of the case in the Zongren Mansion is none other than Su Nu, the in-law and future in-law of the Qi Xi family.
After Sanfujin heard this, he couldn't help but frown and said, "Could it be the Nala family?"
Although the two branches of Dong E's family were a little unhappy because of the previous lawsuit, San Fujin could still distinguish between distant and distant relatives.
This red flag, Manchuria, is in the hands of Dong E's family, which is different from not being in Dong E's family.
The reason why Dong E's family has a transcendent status in Zhenghong Banner is not only due to their family marriage to Prince Lilie, but also mainly because of their position as the capital of Zhenghong Banner.
Starting from the great-grandfathers of San Fujin and Shu Shu, the Manchurian capital was in the hands of the direct descendants of the Dong E family most of the time.
The Nala family she mentioned is also the surname of Zhenghongqi. It is the natal family of Qifujin. It has also been married to Prince Lilie for generations. The father of Qifujin is currently the deputy capital of Manchuria of Zhenghongqi.
After hearing this, the third elder brother felt that it made sense: "If this is really the case, then there will be a lot of excitement between Lao Qi and Lao Ninth! Knife."
San Fujin hurriedly said: "Master, you can't just sit back and watch. If you really want the Nala family to become powerful, it will not be easy for the Dong E family to take back the capital of Manchuria."
Those in the Dutong Mansion are still young, and it will take at least twenty years before they can be independent. My eldest brother, Zengshou, is in such a state of disgrace that he can't even handle household affairs, let alone leave them outside.
If the Dong E family wants to remain standing, it must rely on Qi Xi for support.
The third elder brother also has a score in his mind.
Even though the two sides are separated by flags, there is not much relationship between them, but it is still different if the Yue family has real power and does not have real power.
Although Qi Xi has an annoying Lao Jiu, it's really not the time to worry about it now.
"Okay, I will keep an eye on it and ask Lao Jiu what's going on tomorrow... Since Lao Ten is here, he should be better informed..."
With this happening, it was rare for the couple to talk quietly for a while.

Due to Peng Chun's death, Shu Shu originally wore simple clothes, but now with the addition of tin pillars, all the bright colors have been put away.
It’s dry in the middle of summer, but it looks refreshing.
Today, the first day of June, the Ministry of Internal Affairs began to officially supply ice.
According to the current rules, the first ice cellar will be opened at the beginning of summer, and the emperor will give the ministers ice.
From the first day of May, ice supply begins at Qianqing Palace and Ningshou Palace.
For other palaces, ice supply will not start until June.
The current ice cubes are all reserved in winter and stored in underground ice cellars scattered throughout the Forbidden City.
Shu Shu estimated the time and asked the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to fix the time for delivering ice cubes around Si Zheng.
After waiting for more than half an hour, the room felt cool.
After Brother Jiu came back for lunch, the room was also cool, and it was just in time for a lunch break.
Shu Shu was a little afraid of the heat, so the yard was sprinkled with water three times a day according to last year's practice.
The eunuchs in the water-carrying class will start receiving an extra monthly salary this month.
The water tanks in the yard are also full of water.
But just as Concubine Yi said, the courtyard where my brother lives is not as broad and spacious as the Sixth Palace in the West, and the house is not as high as there, so it feels a bit awkward.
It's comfortable in winter, but like a big steamer in summer.
Shu Shu washes and wipes it every day to make her body feel more comfortable.
But because of the bitter summer, she had no appetite, and she looked wilted.
Grandma Qi felt distressed when she saw it, and she avoided people and whispered: "Can't you tell me? If you want more ice, can we pay for it ourselves?"
Shu Shu said: "It's not good now. Let's look back later."
If the emperor takes the harem, the little prince, and the princesses to the garden, there will be water there, which is cooler than the palace, and there will also be an ice cellar over there.
The ice in the palace will be richer.
Aunt Qi hesitated for a moment and then said: "What about the Queen's side? The Queen's maternity mattress doesn't need ice. Can you move it over? The knife."
Shu Shu shook her head and said: "It's not appropriate. The ice used by the Queen before giving birth was given by the Crown Princess and was not included in the Queen's share.) It is no longer needed now. At most, it can be used to make up for the previous one; even if there is wealth, it cannot be transferred to the second wife." As for me, there are seventeen brothers in Yikun Palace..."
Cultivating kindness is better than generating kindness.
This is especially obvious in the palace.
The concubines must also treat their adopted children equally.
Just like Concubine Hui, every time she prepares something for the eldest brother, there will be a share for the eighth brother.
Brothers should also be more respectful and filial to their adoptive mothers, and should be ranked ahead of their biological mothers.
This is the reason why the Eighth Blessings should pay their respects to Yanxi Palace before entering the palace.
The seventeenth elder brother is also the son of Concubine Yi.
In the future, when the Seventeenth Prince marries Fujin, he will also follow Shu Shu and Wu Fujin to pay their respects to Concubine Yi.
It's not that Aunt Qi doesn't know this truth, but she prefers Shu Shu.
Shu Shu said: "It's okay. We'll wait until Brother Ten and the others follow them to the garden. We can move the ice from the Third Institute over for use first."
The tenth prince is not an outsider, and people who come and go become closer to each other.
Just mentioning the tenth elder brother made Shu Shu think of the thirteenth elder brother who lived in Tousho.
Thirteenth brother.
Zhang concubine......
It was already June, and Shu Shu's heart thumped.
She felt a little anxious, but she didn't want Nanny Qi to worry about her, so she said, "I got up early this morning. I'll take a nap first..."
After hearing this, Grandma Qi stood up, moved the mosquito coil over, and said, "Fu Jin needs to sleep for half an hour, and don't rest too long to get sleepy." J.
Shu Shu agreed, and Grandma Qi withdrew.
Shu Shu lay on the couch, squinting her eyes and feeling a little confused.
After half a month of traveling to the south, there was no news of Zhang Bin's illness.
Summer emergencies.
She opened her eyes and looked at the large blue and white ceramic vat in the middle of the room.
There are ice cubes in it.
There was a slight chill.
The most likely thing to happen in summer is death from exhaustion after heat stroke.
Just like Brother Nine, he was very dangerous last year.
The nine-grid grid in history is such a disease.
Will Zhang Bin be the same?
If there were other problems with the body, the imperial doctor who requested Ping An Pulse should have reported to the imperial court long ago.
Kangxi was fond of old friendships and would not be completely unresponsive.
Concubine Yi has also been in control of the Sixth Palace of the West for many years, so there will be no news at all.
When Brother Ninth came back, Shu Shu kept doing the same thing, looking at the ice cubes thoughtfully.
Brother Jiu said: "You don't have to be so frugal with ice. The Holy Master will accompany the Queen Mother to the garden tomorrow. Then we will move the ice for Lao Shi and his wife."
The couple thought of going together.
Shu Shu pointed in the direction and said, "I was thinking of Brother Thirteen."
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Why did I leave him behind? I'll also say hello to Twelve, so we can use him first."
"It's not us, it's Zhang Concubine's side."
Shu Shu considered it and said: "Didn't I go to Yikun Palace twice in the past few days? The empress's delivery room is located in the back hall. The back hall is not as cool as the main hall. It is like the house here, a little windy. I just thought about Concubine Zhang. If Brother Thirteen follows me to the garden, can I say hello to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and move the ice on my head to the back hall of Changchun Palace..."
In the back hall of Changchun Palace, Zhang Bin lived.
Zhang Concubine first lived in the back hall of Yongshou Palace and was the concubine of Yongshou Palace. Later, she was named a concubine after having a child and she moved to the back hall of Changchun Palace.
There is a person in charge of the Changchun Palace, which is the concubine who is older than the fourth concubine.
Brother Jiu frowned and said: "Why do you think of this? It's enough to worry about us, but also worry about others!"
Shu Shu was helpless.
She didn't want to, but she couldn't bear to do nothing and wait for Zhang Bin to die.
Too many people had died recently, and she didn't want to hear any more funeral reports.
Besides, Thirteenth Brother's brother-in-law was also close and respectful to them. It would be too cold to just sit back and watch the young man lose his mother.
Kangxi had a pity for the weak. According to normal development, the thirteenth prince would become one of the most favored princes after the death of his mother. Whenever he went on patrol, he would have to accompany him.
But "love is deep and responsibility is deep." His silence for more than ten years was also because of this love, which was too close to the center of the whirlpool.
"Okay, okay, I'll keep it in mind, it's just a matter of words..."
Seeing Shu Shu's expression, Brother Jiu regretted that he had spoken harshly, but he also reminded her: "In the future, you should worry more about Master Xin. Others don't need to care too much about... the knife."
It was enough to manage a tenth brother before.
Now the tenth brother is getting married, and he and Shi Fujin are getting stuck together. At first, the ninth brother was a little uncomfortable with it, but now he thinks it's pretty good.
He didn't want to worry about another person.
Shu Shu smiled and said: "I just thought of this and casually mentioned that Thirteenth Brother has an emperor and a concubine above him, so why should anyone else take care of him?"
Brother Jiu looked at her and said, "I am confused. You are not nosy. Did you hear something?"
Shu Shu thought about the news about Zhang Bin and Changchun Palace in her mind, nodded hesitantly and said: "I heard a few gossips."
That Duan concubine was also eccentric, and was no less stingy than Concubine Rong.
There seems to be no reward for the palace servant in her name.
In addition to Zhang's concubine, there was also a concubine in her palace, who was Shiliu Gege's biological mother. Although she was only a concubine, the provision was in accordance with the rules of a noble person.
There were rumors before that Duan Concubine liked to use the palace servants of Zhang Concubine and Wang Concubine.
Duan concubine is the head of the Changchun Palace, and she also has the power to control the people in the palace.
But the old custom in the palace is not like this. Even if they live in the same palace, they rarely discipline other maids and eunuchs.
Brother Jiu said with disdain: "You are simply sick, and your background is not low. How come your virtue is so low that you can even provide three melons and two dates every day..."
Concubine Rong is stingy and not greedy for others.
Here at Duan concubine, it is customary to take advantage. During normal ceremonies, a piece of cloth would have to be cut by two feet.
"Isn't it because I deducted the ice from my concubine and the concubine?"
Brother Ninth was also a little worried.
The ice cellar in the Forbidden City is also called the "official cellar" and is also under the Ministry of Internal Affairs...
