On the royal chariot, the thirteenth elder brother was holding a teapot and pouring tea for Kangxi. Starting from the thirty-seventh year, every time the Holy Emperor went on a tour, the Thirteenth Prince was on the list of accompanying princes.
He has ridden on both chariots and boats. I was apprehensive earlier, but now I feel very comfortable.
He knew his identity, he was just a little brother. In front of his brothers, he does not strive for superiority and acts like a good younger brother.
Except for the fourteenth elder brother who was unhappy with him, the other brothers had no intention of arguing with him, including the prince.
Kangxi picked up the tea cup and drank it, then handed a question book at hand to his thirteenth brother. The Thirteenth Brother took it with both hands and read it. It was a document from the Prince of Wengniu Special Division asking for his clan daughter.
The Wengniute Tribe, next to the Kalaqin Tribe, is more than 700 miles away from the capital. It is considered the closest tribe to the capital among all Mongolian tribes.
Brother Thirteen's heart moved. His two sisters, one is thirteen years old, sixteen years old this year; the other is fifteen years old, twelve years old this year.
Nowadays, it is popular for eldest daughter to marry late, and most people do not get married until they are over 18 years old. However, one must first pay attention to the choice of consort.
The thirteenth elder brother looked at Kangxi and said with gratitude on his face: "Khan Ama..." Kangxi said: "The five princesses are different. They have to serve the Queen Mother. It is not easy to marry far away. It is not easy for other princesses to stay in Beijing. But if the princess is not Point it out to the princes of various tribes and counties, point it out to Taiji, and you can return to Ning and stay in the capital..." The thirteenth elder brother became more and more grateful and said: "It's all Khan Amma's kindness. The thirteenth sister can be close to the third sister. To take care of you." He knew well that he had two sisters, but this time he only had one grace to live in Beijing.
Since he had seen the marriage proposal of Prince Wengniu Special Division, the one he was interested in should be Thirteen Gege.
Prince Wengniutebu is fourteen years old this year. Although he is between thirteen and fifteen years old, early marriage is popular in Mongolia.
By the time Thirteen Gege is eighteen or nineteen years old, the county prince will be sixteen or seventeen years old. If it takes a few more years, all the children of the common people will be born.
In this way, as the younger sister of Thirteen Gege, Fifteen Gege can choose the prince-in-law in Taiji, which is not honored by the various ministries.
Kangxi said: "Don't worry, wait and see for two more years. In these two years, Prince Wengniute will come to court, so you should pay more attention." The thirteenth elder brother nodded in agreement.
Kangxi pondered and said: "After you have studied in the Ministry of Justice for a year and a half, go to the Ministry of War!" The thirteenth elder brother showed surprise and said: "My son must learn to work hard..." When he went to the study, he finally I also love the art of war class.
It's just that he was born at the wrong time, the world is peaceful, and there are fewer wars among the Eight Banners. Otherwise, which prince has not dreamed of becoming a general king?
Kangxi also showed relief on his face and said: "You are not young anymore, and you have a family. When you become an Ama, you will understand my heart." The thirteenth elder brother smiled and nodded and said: "My son must work hard. I will give birth to a little princess as soon as possible..." At this point, he thought of Thirteen Fujin and smiled more on his face.
The couple can read together and talk together. Although they have only been married for a short period of time, they still have some common thoughts.
Kangxi saw this in his eyes, lowered his eyes and looked at the tea cup. In the teacup is longan and red date tea that nourishes qi and nourishes health. The red dates float in the teacup.
He was happy to see his son get along with his daughter-in-law Qin Se, but he could not tolerate his son being too deeply influenced by his wife's clan. He knew that he was a little repetitive and felt sorry for the Thirteenth Brother, but he would not really let the Thirteenth Brother get too close to Malhan, Yisang'a and others.
This time he was referring to Princess, and he specifically gave two instructions to Masika. The first thing was that the princess in Sanbeile Mansion should have a bookish aroma, and the second thing was that the princess here in Thirteenth Prince should look good. It is also necessary to have a higher birth status, and to choose from the relatives of several consecrated ladies and patron saint ladies.
The thirteenth brother is smart, and he will understand what he means when he sees the person he is referring to...* It took Shengjia eleven days to go to Mount Wutai, and thirteen days to return. On the last day of February, Shengjia finally arrived. Arrive at Changchun Garden.
The princes living in Haidian have returned to Beijing one after another in February. On this day, everyone gathered in Haidian to welcome him.
The weather has warmed up completely. Inside and outside Changchun Garden, everything is green to the eye. The magnolias are about to wither, the apricot blossoms are beginning to bloom, and the peach blossoms are also blooming.
The third elder brother stood next to the eldest elder brother, looking better and better, and his body became taller and taller. The fifth elder brother likes the cold rather than the heat. He looked up at the sun and felt that the top of his head was steaming.
"It's getting hot early this year. I don't know when I'll change my hat..." He muttered. The seventh elder brother said: "The Ministry of Rites chose March 16th." The fifth elder brother said happily: "It's not bad, not bad, it's six or seven days earlier than in previous years. If I hadn't worn a warm hat, I would have had prickly heat on my head. Now." The tenth elder brother was nearby and answered: "The fifth elder brother asked someone to make some velvet hats. Choose the one with sparse needle holes. The one is breathable and cool." The fifth elder brother heard his heartbeat and said: "Okay, go back Just ask someone to pack up two new hats." The twelfth elder brother stood in the back and listened to his brothers talking without saying much.
The eldest brother, on the other hand, looked at the fifth brother and said: "You have lost a lot of weight, why are you still afraid of the heat?" The fifth brother said with a bitter face: "It's getting hot very fast this year, and my body hasn't adapted yet. I'm sweating." The eldest brother looked up at the sky and said, "It hasn't rained since the beginning of spring. It looks like there will be a drought in Zhili this year." When the third brother saw this, he said, "I just finished treating the Yellow River. , Yongding River has just finished work. If it doesn't rain, it won't be a good thing..." The fifth elder brother said: "That's still hard to think about. Everyone said that if the treatment is good, it should be rewarded. It's not easy. "The fifth elder brother also patrolled the Yongding River a few years ago and knows the difficulties of river construction.
After hearing this, the third elder brother felt very sorry for the money that was allocated every year, and said: "The money has been allocated like running water these years. It's time to wait for two years and take a breather, otherwise the national treasury will be empty of money." The money in the river went from 10% to 25%. The burden was too heavy.
Fortunately, Junggar was disabled a few years ago, otherwise there would be no expense to prepare for war. The brothers chatted here and there, and the third elder brother who talked the most became the center of attention without realizing it.
The princes and ministers who were waiting to greet him stood behind him. They could not hear what the princes were saying, but they could see the general situation, and they were also weighing the weight of the third elder brother.
The eldest brother is taciturn, the seventh brother talks even less, and the twelfth brother doesn't speak at all. The tenth elder brother looked at the third elder brother's spirit and felt that it was different.
He couldn't help but feel depressed when he thought about the distribution of those beautiful girls. Is this because he is afraid that the princes will not care?
He glanced at his elder brother. Since the death of Dafu Jin, the eldest brother has lost his spirit. The confrontation between the eldest brother and the prince also changed with the death of Suo'etu and the hiding of the pearl.
Are you trying to push Third Brother to the stage? Will it turn into a three-way melee? Why did you choose the third elder brother and not the fourth elder brother?
The tenth elder brother felt that he seemed to understand the truth... After a while, the emperor's royal chariot arrived. Without getting off the car at the gate of the palace, he directly gave a few instructions, asking the elder brother and the third elder brother to follow him, and then went to the small palace. Went to the east gate.
The accompanying ministers and guards dispersed directly at the palace gate. The prince's car drove directly back to the West Garden.
The fourth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother were riding horses and came down to talk to the brothers. Brother Ninth Brother was still in the carriage. He got off the carriage and muttered: "We should go home halfway, this is such a hassle." The Holy Master stayed in Nanyuan last night and set out from the Nanyuan paddock in Haidian this morning.
The tenth elder brother smiled and said: "If the ninth elder brother is tired from riding, just take a rest and return to Beijing in the afternoon." After hearing this, the ninth elder brother hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, I miss us so much, I'd better go home early..." "He had already received Shu Shu's home letter and knew that Shu Shu had taken the children back to the city a few days ago.
The fifth elder brother looked at the thirteenth elder brother, remembered a piece of news, and said: "Congratulations to the thirteenth brother!" After hearing this, the thirteenth elder brother thought about thirteen princesses' marriage, and then felt something was wrong. There is no final word.
He asked curiously: "Fifth brother, what are you talking about?" Fifth brother said: "Didn't my brothers and sisters tell you? Among the batch of beautiful girls selected in the first month of this year, the most outstanding one entered your head office. She was born well and is the grand-niece of Mrs. Baosheng!" Mrs. Baosheng was Kangxi's nanny Guarjia.
Although Mrs. Baosheng is deceased, her relatives and descendants have repeatedly given her grace, and she is a decent family in the world.
Brother Thirteen listened with a smile, feeling a little confused. His wedding was less than three months ago, so he was given the gift of Princess?
Didn't it mean that this group of beauties were born to give birth to royal grandchildren? He remembered the words on the royal chariot, was this accelerating birth?
"Huh?" The ninth elder brother was a little surprised. He looked at the twelfth elder brother and said, "Didn't these breast-protection families receive grace and exempt their women from the primary election? How come they are still on the list?" said the twelfth elder brother. : "The people chosen are not Mrs. Baosheng's husband's family, but her mother's family, and they are not exempt from selection." The fourth elder brother knew that the thirteenth elder brother had a special qualification, but he did not expect that he was born like this.
Seeing that the fourth elder brother and others were busy with work, the brothers chatted for a few words and then all returned to the city. The tenth elder brother got on the ninth elder brother's carriage and said: "A while ago, the eighth elder brother was ill..."
