In the lotus pond.
Now that the ninth elder brother and his wife and the tenth elder brother and his wife no longer live in the West Garden, their residence in the west garden becomes more relaxed.
The thirteenth elder brother lived in Zhongsuo by himself, and the fourteenth elder brother who lived with him before went to Nansuo.
But every day at meal time, the fourteenth elder brother still came over and the two brothers ate together.
Otherwise it would be boring.
The two have been together in Zhaoxiang's house for several years, and have long been accustomed to going in and out together, and they are comfortable with each other.
There were more apples and grapes today. Brother Fourteen regretted a little and said, "Brother Ninth and the others have been there for four days. It's definitely fun. It would be great if we could go too!"
The Thirteenth Brother glanced at him and said, "It's a round trip of more than two hundred miles, and we spend most of the time traveling. What's so fun?"
Come and try it quickly. 】
Brother Fourteen snorted: "Have I never traveled far on horseback?"
In the first half of the year, the southern tour was carried out by boat and there was no freedom of movement.
Brother Thirteen said: "I'm going out in a few days, and I'm afraid you won't want to ride a horse at all..."
The fourteenth elder brother said with joy: "That's not possible, I am the Batulu of our generation, a man who grows up on horseback!"
Brother Thirteen nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll wait and see."
He was planning to take the car anyway.
I rode a horse last year, but then I couldn’t even close my legs when walking.
Brother Fourteen blinked, pointed in the direction of Tuoyuan Bookstore, and whispered: "Brother Ninth has a grudge. It seems he didn't send it to Tuoyuan Bookstore?"
The Thirteenth Brother's smile faded, and he said: "The Crown Prince has a noble status and is different from you and my brothers. Ninth Brother was too sincere before, so it's better to stay away."
The fourteenth elder brother said angrily: "Why is it different? They are all the sons of Khan Amma?"
The thirteenth elder brother lowered his eyes and said: "A son is more valuable than his mother, which is also the rule of the Qing harem!"
The fourteenth elder brother hummed and said: "Then it is Manchu custom to be a direct descendant. Where can I explain this?"

Hechidongsuo.
The twelfth prince lives here.
He was sitting in the study, holding a book in his hand.
The aroma of apples hits your nostrils.
He looked at the fruit and his expression relaxed.
Before, he seemed to be a lonely ghost, independent.
Before I knew it, I became close with my brothers.
This feeling is a bit strange, but it also feels good.
It seems that some of the resentment in my heart has dissipated a lot.
When did the change begin?
He was a little stunned.
It seems that at the end of last year, the elder brother and Fujin moved out, and the ninth sister-in-law became the eldest sister-in-law...

The west lotus pond.
This is the smallest of the four courtyards and has the fewest houses, so in the first month and this time, the youngest fifteenth brother lives here.
He was urging grandma to load the dishes.
He asked his nanny to put a plate of apples and a plate of grapes into a food box, and planned to send someone to Tuoyuan Bookstore to present them to the Crown Princess.
He divided the remaining plate of apples and the plate of grapes into two, keeping half for himself and planning to send the other half to the reading center.
There are now only six of his companions.
There are two vacancies and no suitable person has been able to fill them.
Previously, Brother Baofu and Xiaoliu went home to recuperate and returned after a ten-day rest.
With the friendship of sharing weal and woe, everyone is closer than before.
*
After a while, the food box was delivered to Tuoyuan Bookstore.
The princess looked at the two plates of fruit, feeling tingling in her heart.
I have never seen such a well-behaved child.
When she first took over, she just followed orders and wanted to make sure there were no mistakes.
As a result, the fifteenth brother, with his innocent heart, was wholeheartedly attached to her.
Recalling what Shu Shu said last time, that Akedun had privately warned his fifteenth brother not to come visit her, the Crown Princess became cold-faced.
After being married to the prince for several years, she finally understood why the prince was tolerant of Aktun.
The emperor didn't like Aktun, and he didn't even want to see his half-brother.
But who knows what the future will be like?
If the crown prince ascends to the throne, this guilt will probably be doubled to compensate Akdun.
Aktun has been misled by his mother-in-law and lacks respect for himself.
If Aktun really succeeded to the throne one day, it would not be easy for his mother, the Empress Dowager, to do so.
The princess was a little indifferent.
For a moment, she didn't want to change the current situation.
The emperor's longevity is not a good thing for the prince, but it is a good thing for her.
If the third elder brother becomes a talent, or if there are other younger elder brothers who can teach him in the future, will Aktun's position still be transcendent?

Companion reading center.
The apples and grapes have arrived.
There are six apples, exactly one for each person.
There are three big bunches of grapes, and it is easier to divide them, one bunch for two people.
Needless to say, Cao Qi's string was separated from his cousin Li Ding.
Brother Baofu's string was not shared with Xiao Liu, but with Brother Chang'en.
Because Xiaoliu took a bunch and shared it with the youngest Xishan.
Perhaps because he has been a younger brother for so long, Xiaoliu is quite happy to be an older brother.
The children younger than him are all very caring.
It's just that around Xishan, it turns out that he is followed by two ministers' children, which is considered a small internal gang.
Now that those two have been cleared, Xishan is left alone.
Xiaoliu is very chivalrous and takes good care of Xishan.
Xishan is like a little chicken, following Xiaoliu around...
*
The deserted place is the Palace of Virtue.
Looking at the two large baskets of apples and grapes, the Queen Mother also made distributions.
"Qi Muge likes to eat crispy apples at this time; Ao Dun likes to eat grapes that are juicy..."
Its wooden frame is Princess Shuhui, and Ao Dun is Princess Duanshun.
So, Princess Shuhui shared two plates of apples and one plate of grapes; Princess Duanshun had the other way around, one plate of apples and two plates of grapes.
The remaining few princesses are the same half-plate.
Nine squares double.

New second institute.
Sanfujin was a little surprised when he saw the things sent by the Fourth Institute.
A few days ago, she was careless and spoke harsh words, but was pushed back. She thought Shu Shu wanted to hold a grudge.
Later, she also understood.
Shu Shu was doing this to save face. After all, under everyone's noses, it was hard to treat her brothers and sisters favorably.
She also breathed a sigh of relief.
That's it.
Everyone lives their own life.
If Shu Shu loses her temper and pulls her sisters to isolate her, she will be embarrassed.
She regretted it a little.
After carefully counting the sisters-in-law, they found that none of them were close friends.
When I was in the palace before, I could walk around with Da Fujin and Si Fujin quite well, but now that Da Fujin is gone, Si Fujin is also unsociable, and I don't even have anyone to agree with.
As long as there are siblings who agree with each other, there is no need to worry about being alienated by the siblings...
*
New Third Institute.
It was Shu Shu who came personally to deliver the fruit, and also carefully told Wu Fujin about the entire incense-burning itinerary.
He also told us how we walked on the road, what the regulations were when we arrived at Hongluo Temple, and how we gave up the sesame oil money in the temple, as well as the copper plates and clothing materials left outside the temple.
In this way, Wufujin and the others can make rough arrangements based on these if they want to go to offer incense.
Wufujin listened very carefully.
During her previous tour of the South, she followed the Queen Mother to worship Buddha, went to so many temples, and prayed countless times in her heart.
In fact, I feel a little discouraged towards gods and Buddhas.
But Hongluo Temple is different.
Shu Shu's parents' experience of begging for a child was so legendary that she also gave birth to hope...
*
Shu Shu and his party set out to pray on the sixth day of the seventh lunar month and returned on the ninth day of the seventh lunar month.
Within two days, news came down that the Fourteenth Holy Emperor returned to the palace with the Queen Mother.
Four people went up and down and started packing their luggage.
Although we only lived here for a month, everyone got a taste of freedom.
Not only Brother Jiu and Shu Shu were comfortable, but the people below were also comfortable.
For example, eunuchs such as Sun Jin and Zhou Song could go to the nearby market to purchase.
Like Xiaochun and Walnut, they are also much more relaxed.
During the intervening time, Shu Shu also gave them a holiday and allowed them to go home and visit their relatives.
When you return to the palace, it will be different. All your comings and goings must be recorded in the palace register, and you must report in advance.
"Master, are you ready to move?"
Shu Shu asked.
For example, last year when my eldest brother and his family moved, it was at the end of winter and it was so stressful.
It is best to move out before winter, which saves a lot of trouble.
Brother Jiu calculated the time and said, "I can't say we can really move out by the end of September."
The Holy Spirit's northern tour in a few days will be different from last year.
Last year, the northern tour followed the eastern tour, which took a little longer, about three and a half months.
Just for the northern tour, I will be back in about two months, which is mid-September.
By then, the details of the Prince's Mansion will have been repaired.
They can request permission to move out before winter.
Shu Shu was a little excited. In that case, there would be less than three months left in the palace, so it wouldn't be difficult.
Xiaochun took most of her luggage and returned to the palace two days early.
On the fourteenth day of the seventh leap month, Shu Shu took the remaining people and followed the large army back to the palace.
Qianxi No. 2 Institute has been renovated.
Aunt Qi and everyone were waiting at the door.
Knowing that Shu Shu went to Hongluo Temple to ask for a child at the beginning of the month, she was overjoyed and said: "Hongluo Temple is the most effective way to ask for a child. The appointment is correct..."
Shu Shu helped her and said without shame: "Mom, just wait, there will be a new baby in the family this time next year..."
She planned to prepare for pregnancy in the past two months, and her ninth brother would also "recuperate".
Wait until the end of September to move and then start messing with it when you get to your new home.
In this way, the time is stuck just right, and production can be done at the end of July next year, just in time to avoid the hottest period.
Aunt Qi said: "Amitabha's, that old slave is looking forward to it."
Shu Shu thought of her habit of being a vegetarian at every turn, and hurriedly said: "Mom, you can't be a vegetarian. When the time comes, you will be bored. You should still eat and drink. Help me take care of my brother next year. I am still a child myself. How can I take care of a child?" Woolen cloth……"
Aunt Qi had indeed planned to become a vegetarian before, but hesitated after hearing Shu Shu's words.
Shu Shu said: "Mom, just listen to me!"
Aunt Qi then nodded and said, "Well, the old slave will start preparing the young master's things."
Shu Shu said: "Do this slowly, there is still one year left..."
A few days after the emperor returned to the palace, he left the palace again.
On the seventeenth day of the seventh lunar month, he went on a patrol outside the fortress and ordered the emperor's eldest son Duo Luo Zhijun Wang Yi Ti, the emperor's third son Duo Luo Beile Yinzhi, the fourth emperor's son Duo Luo Bei Le Yinzhen, the emperor's fifth son Duo Luo Bei Le Yinzhen, the emperor's seventh son Duo Bei Le Yinzhen. Robeleyinyou, the eighth son of the emperor, Duorobeleyinsu, the thirteenth son of the emperor, Yinxiang, and the fourteenth son of the emperor, Yinzhen, accompanied them.

The next update will be at 12 noon on December 24th. Welcome to the Qidian app.
