Chapter 1964: Zhongxiao (asking for guaranteed monthly ticket)
After being interrupted by the Crown Prince's birthday celebration, the Third Prince's resentment towards the Ninth Prince was almost gone.
He also understood that his brothers had selfish motives in adding to the birthday gift list.
On the contrary, in the case of the Ninth Prince, he is still young and the arranged marriage of the Princess will take more than ten years, so it is simply a matter of having too much money to burn.
This big fool is still feeling very proud of himself, but he didn't realize that he had prepared so much for his 50th birthday, so what would he be able to show for his 60th birthday if he didn't have enough?
Between fifty and sixty, there is also a fifty-five, which is not an ordinary birthday.
When the fiftieth year of Kangxi's reign comes, there will be a celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Emperor's reign...
These birthday gifts are all scams...
The Third Prince was just waiting to see the Ninth Prince make a fool of himself.
If you are so generous, you will have to spend most of your money and start to live beyond your means...
After the group left Qianqing Gate, they dispersed.
The Ninth Prince reunited with the Fourth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince, and the brothers also went to Prince Gong's palace to pay their respects.
After exiting Xihua Gate, the carriage from the Ninth Prince's Mansion was already waiting.
The guards from the Fourth Prince's Mansion were also waiting with the Fourth Prince's horse.
The Imperial Guard Department also arranged a group of guards to accompany the Thirteenth Prince.
The Fourth Prince looked at the Ninth Prince's carriage and couldn't help but say to him, "It's not too cold or too hot now, can't you ride for a few days?"
The Ninth Prince hurriedly shook his head and said, "I can't ride. In March, there is sand blowing all day long. Riding a horse makes my eyes dizzy..."
Having said this, he was afraid that the Fourth Prince would continue to talk too much, so he got into the carriage in a hurry.
The Fourth Prince looked very lucky.
Thirteenth Prince said, "Don't blame Ninth Brother. It's really dusty in early spring. I don't dare to open my mouth too much, or else my mouth will be greasy."
The Fourth Prince said nothing else and mounted his horse.
The Thirteenth Prince also mounted his horse and whispered, "Third Brother is very angry today. It seems that he blames Ninth Brother three-tenths and Big Brother seven-tenths."
Quite surprising.
The third brother usually seems timid, but this time he did not bully the weak and fear the strong.
After hearing this, the Fourth Prince seemed to be thinking about something and did not respond.
He was still thinking about the final birthday gift in Yuqing Palace, which was all tributes from governors and governors-general. What was the prince thinking?
There is never a shortage of good things in the storehouse of Yuqing Palace.
Not to mention collecting dozens of birthday gifts, even hundreds of them can be collected.
But the prince didn't come.
There is also the number of items chosen by the Crown Prince, eighteen, which is twice as many as the Prince of Wales.
It's not glaring.
The crown prince is the heir to the throne, so it is natural that he is more honorable than the other princes.
However, the six gifts given to the "Crown Prince's eldest son" far exceeded the number of birthday gifts given to the eldest sons of the various princely houses...
Seeing that the Fourth Prince was silent, the Thirteenth Prince did not say anything else.
The wind in March blows up the sand, and it is more comfortable to keep your mouth shut than to open it.
However, the Thirteenth Prince was thinking about the list of birthday gifts for his brothers and considered the Fifth Beile's Mansion, the Seventh Beile's Mansion and the Yuqing Palace.
The list of birthday gifts for the Fifth Prince's Mansion included a concubine's eldest son and also included a legitimate son.
The list of birthday gifts for the Seventh Prince's Mansion included his eldest son from a concubine's family and two legitimate daughters of princesses.
In Yuqing Palace, although the prince was listed as the Third Princess, the two princes were both born out of wedlock, so they were still too honored.
These brothers are all eldest sons born out of wedlock, and now they are like a joke.
It is well known that the Crown Prince dislikes the Crown Princess.
Although the Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince did not favor concubines over their wives, they could not be considered to have a harmonious marriage.
The Thirteenth Prince thought of the bright and generous Zhao Jia.
His wife's behavior and character are impeccable, so naturally he hopes that he and his wife will live in harmony and not become a laughing stock in the eyes of others.
In the carriage, the Ninth Prince was still thinking about the two pieces of Zhangrong fabric presented as birthday gifts to the Crown Prince.
The material is thin velvet, different from the cashmere worn in spring and autumn. It is a material that can be worn in early summer and early autumn.
My wife seems to like this material very much. For this year's Dragon Boat Festival, I will send someone to inquire about the tribute from Fujian in advance.
The three brothers arrived at the gate of Prince Gong's mansion in a grand procession.
At the gate of Prince Gong's mansion, several princes were already waiting.
The second prince, Mandu Hu, had an assignment and worked in the clan affairs office. The third prince, fourth prince, and fifth prince did not have any assignments but just followed the flags.
The Ninth Prince is not familiar with this place.
Because Mandu Hu was on duty for Prince Gong during peacetime and was also the son-in-law of the Dong'e family, the Ninth Prince was relatively familiar with him, but he had no contact with the rest of his cousins.
As a result, when he paid attention today, he found something wrong.
Isn't this title too low? !
The Fourth and Fifth Princes were fine, they were third-class generals of the state, and this was in accordance with the rules. According to the rules changed in previous years, the concubines, imperial concubines, and sons of the Heshuo Princes living in other rooms were given the title of third-class generals of the state.
The two have the same mother, who is the concubine of Prince Gong.
What's the matter with the third prince Haishan?
He was only given the title of Feng'en General!
This is the lowest rank among the royal family.
This is the emperor's nephew, and he holds the lowest royal family title.
Is it because my grades were so bad during the exam that I was demoted several grades? !
Khan Ama showed no grace at all to Prince Gong's Mansion.
The four princes of Prince Gong's mansion have all grown up for many years, and only the youngest son has not yet reached adulthood.
However, the youngest son had a flawed birth and was the grandson of Wu Yingxiong, so it was impossible for him to be made the crown prince.
Then why hasn’t the palace appointed a crown prince yet?
The brothers were welcomed to the main courtyard of the palace.
Prince Gong was already wearing his clothes and waiting in the corridor, leaning on a cane.
"Hello, Uncle Wang. Greetings to Uncle Wang..."
Upon seeing this, the Fourth Prince hurriedly took a few steps forward.
The Ninth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince also followed.
Prince Gong said: "I wish you all the best..."
The Fourth Prince stepped forward and supported Prince Gong's arm, saying, "My nephews are sorry to bother you. Uncle, please go back to your room and talk."
Prince Gong nodded, glanced at the Ninth and Thirteenth Princes, and said, "In the blink of an eye, the two princes have become adults."
The Ninth Prince shifted his gaze from Prince Gong's feet and said, "My nephew is already twenty-one years old and has served for five years. He should have improved a lot."
The Thirteenth Prince said, "He just looks like an adult and runs errands for his brothers."
The uncles and nephews entered the house, and several princes from the palace followed.
The guests and hosts took their seats.
The Fourth Prince looked at Prince Gong's thin face with a worried look on his face, and said, "You have lost too much weight, don't you need to eat some more?"
Prince Yu was paralyzed and bedridden, and even though he ate less, he didn't become this thin.
Prince Gong waved his hand and said, "I eat a lot. I used to eat three meals a day, but now I wish I could eat five meals a day. I don't miss out."
The Ninth Prince had seen a lot of medical skills in the past few years, and when he heard the symptoms, he felt familiar with them, so he asked, "What does the imperial physician say? Uncle Wang, is this the 'middle consumption' in diabetes? Excessive appetite, easy hunger, constipation, and excessive sweating?"
Prince Gong looked at the Ninth Prince and asked in surprise, "Brother, have you read a lot of medical books?"
The Ninth Prince nodded and said, "My nephew is weak, so he is very careful about his life. Most of the books I read in the past few years are medical books."
Prince Gong said: "I really have diabetes, which affects my eyes and feet, and makes it difficult for me to walk..."
This is also the reason why everyone outside thought he had recovered, but he still stayed indoors.
The Ninth Prince was somewhat puzzled after hearing this.
The Empress Dowager also has diabetes, but her symptoms are mild. She has improved a lot in the past few years by abstaining from certain foods.
Prince Gong had no symptoms before, but his condition suddenly became very serious.
The Ninth Prince recalled an interesting story about diabetes.
It is the rumor about "Gyokusen Maru".
Walk ten miles every day to fetch Yuquan water for use as medicine, and the disease will be cured in a hundred days.
The Empress Dowager's diabetes has been alleviated, which is also related to the fact that she takes walks every morning and evening to stretch her muscles.
Unfortunately, this one does not seem to be suitable for Prince Gong.
Prince Gong was not fat and had a foot disease.
There is no normal disease.
Hundreds of people have hundreds of diseases.
The three princes had no relationship with Prince Gong.
After going through the motions and talking for a quarter of an hour and leaving the gift list, the three brothers got up and said goodbye.
Prince Gong stood up and hesitated for a moment before saying to the Ninth Prince, "At this time of year, seasonal vegetables are not on the market yet. All we can see are wild vegetables, which are hard to eat. If it's convenient, can you get some rare vegetables from your brother's house? I don't want celery, leeks, Chinese cabbage, or radishes. The vegetable shops outside have them. I'm tired of eating these all day long."
The Ninth Prince said hurriedly, "You are too tactful. Just give the order directly. When my nephew arrives home, I will send someone to pick vegetables. However, there shouldn't be much to send today. They are from the greenhouse in the mansion. From tomorrow, I will pick vegetables from the greenhouse in Xiaotangshan. I will give you one basket a day as a filial gift!"
Prince Gong waved his hands and said, "We don't need that much. One basket every ten days will be enough. By the Dragon Boat Festival, we will have almost all the vegetables available."
The Ninth Prince said, "My nephew will take care of it, so you don't have to worry about it."
Since he had read medical books, he naturally knew why Prince Gong ate dongzi vegetables every day.
This kind of knot is caused by excessive heat, and eating meat will make the symptoms worse.
The brothers left Prince Gong's Mansion.
The Ninth Prince showed worry on his face.
The Fourth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince looked at each other and felt something was wrong.
The Ninth Prince has always been carefree and has no such relationship with Prince Gong.
Without them asking, the Ninth Prince spoke up himself, "We can't let Fifth Brother get any fatter. Nine out of the ten people with diabetes are fat..."
The key is that it's too scary.
Rotten feet.
The shoes that Prince Gong wore today were specially made for him.
Loose and baggy at the front.
The toes must be wrapped to wear such shoes.
And Prince Gong's eyes looked foggy and cloudy.
It would be fine if this disease could be cured, but if it can't be cured, I will eventually become paralyzed, and my eyesight may even be damaged...
