Chapter 1967: Two-fold (asking for guaranteed monthly ticket)
Lifanyuan Yamen.
The Minister of the Court of Colonial Affairs, Hayaltu, waited until noon but still did not see the Ninth Prince coming, so he knew that this gentleman would not come today.
The two got along very well when they were in the Imperial Household Department, and neither of them was the kind of person who sought power.
At that time, the Ninth Prince was in charge of overall affairs in the Imperial Household Department, and Hayatu had another full-time job and was only nominally in charge of the Imperial Household Department.
Now that the Ninth Prince has gone to the Lifanyuan, Hayaltu hopes that the two of them can get along well with each other just like they did in the Imperial Household Department.
If the Ninth Prince doesn’t come today, he will come tomorrow.
Hayaltu thought about it and went to the Fifth Prince's duty room.
The Fifth Prince is here, counting the time, and is about to leave.
Seeing Hayaltu coming over, the Fifth Prince was a little surprised and asked, "Master Ha, are you free?"
This year marks the 50th birthday of Emperor Kangxi. The Mongolian princes and nobles who had been on duty in Beijing last year did not leave in February as in previous years, but stayed in the capital, waiting for birthday celebrations.
These days are the time when the princes and nobles of various Mongolian tribes present birthday gifts.
These birthday gifts must first be inspected by the Lifanyuan to see if there is anything inappropriate or disrespectful.
Hayaltu said: "Fifth Master, I want to ask about the duty room prepared for Ninth Master. I wonder if there is anything else that needs to be added..."
The Fifth Prince said, "When the Ninth Prince comes tomorrow, I'll ask him first."
Thinking about the time when Ninth Prince was on duty at the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Revenue, he said, "It should be almost enough. If there is any shortage, Ninth Prince will buy it himself."
With the Fifth Prince's words, Hayaltu felt relieved.
The Ninth Prince is a man of good nature and not difficult to get along with.
Just don't neglect it, otherwise the Ninth Prince won't care, but there are still the Fifth Prince and the Tenth Prince.
Hayartu went to do something, and the Fifth Prince left the Lifanyuan. As he was still a little worried about the Ninth Prince, he went to the Beiguanfang.
It is better to come by chance than by chance.
Here, the Ninth Prince and Shushu had just set up the dining table and prepared lunch when Cui Baisui came in and reported, "Master, the Fifth Master is here."
Shu Shu looked at the time and said, "Fifth Brother probably didn't have lunch..."
The Ninth Prince stood up and said, "Well, I guess he came from the government office and turned to us."
Shushu immediately ordered Baiguo, "Ask the kitchen to fry a plate of Mushu pork, and fry a plate of shrimp cakes..."
Then, he pointed at the clay pot meatballs and beef pot on the dining table and said, "Move these two dishes over there too!"
This kind of time-consuming dish cannot be made in time.
Baiguo agreed and took Dongyue to prepare the vegetables.
The Ninth Prince had already lifted the curtain and left, wondering in his heart why the Fifth Prince had come.
Could it be that he was blaming himself for the gift list he saw this morning?
Then, the Ninth Prince rejected this idea.
It shouldn't be because of that.
I wasn't the only one who added or subtracted from the birthday gift list this morning.
Even the fifth brother himself actually added to the gift list.
Thinking of this, the Ninth Prince arrived at the front living room.
The Fifth Prince was drinking tea and eating shachima.
Seeing this, the Ninth Prince hurried forward and moved the plate of steamed buns away, saying, "You've eaten half a plate of this. It's so sweet. Don't you feel sick of it?"
The Fifth Prince raised the teacup in his hand and said, "It's just right with some strong tea."
The Ninth Prince said, "Forget it. My wife has asked the kitchen to prepare food."
The Fifth Prince put down his teacup and said, "Well, well, I'll wait for dinner then."
The Ninth Prince was already worried about him, and after taking one look at him, he became even more worried.
Sitting on the chair, with a big belly and a bit of laziness.
My brother can sit instead of standing, and he has a good appetite.
It would be strange if you weren't fat.
The Ninth Prince said, "Fifth Brother, you should also be careful about what you eat from now on. Eat less fatty foods. For mutton, eat more lamb legs and less lamb chops. Don't eat pork belly. Eat more chicken and fish. You should lose weight to avoid getting fat and suffering from diseases of the rich."
After hearing this, the Fifth Prince quickly shook his head and said, "Why should I be so serious? I am fat because I am happy and carefree. It has nothing to do with eating and drinking!"
The Ninth Prince rolled his eyes.
How can someone who eats four bowls of rice, one pork elbow, and half a lamb chop in one meal have the nerve to say that his fat body has nothing to do with eating and drinking?!
The Fifth Prince laughed twice and said, "I don't have any other hobbies. I just like to eat a few bites of delicious food. If I really have to abstain from food, life will be too boring. It's not time to go to that stage yet. I can wait until I'm forty or fifty, then I can take care of my health."
The Ninth Prince had a serious look on his face. He leaned forward and said, "Uncle Wang is only fifty-one... Uncle Wang is forty-seven..."
When the two princes first fell ill, the princes in Beijing had already visited them.
The Fifth Prince was puzzled and said, "It's fine if it's Uncle Wang, but why are you mentioning Uncle Wang? Isn't Uncle Wang's illness almost cured?"
Brother Ninth: "..."
However, Prince Yu was paralyzed in bed and Prince Gong was using crutches, so it seemed that the latter's condition was not serious.
Diabetes is a disease of the rich, but if you take good care of yourself, you can die of it naturally.
The Queen Mother also suffers from diabetes, and the Ninth Prince is afraid that if he tells her that it's serious, the Fifth Prince will get worried.
He then said thoughtfully, "Uncle Wang is also very thin, and doesn't look much better than Uncle Wang."
The Fifth Prince said, "The disease is easy to go away, and spring illness can easily damage your vitality. You will be fine after a period of conditioning."
On the contrary, Prince Yu's paralysis only recovered 10% to 20% after acupuncture and he could no longer get out of bed.
The Ninth Prince also hoped for this.
Even if they had no friendship, he was still his uncle, and he hoped that Prince Gong would get better.
because……
Prince Yu’s situation is not very good.
The emperor's father only has these two brothers left, they can't all die at once.
At this moment, Cui Baisui brought people from the kitchen to serve the meal.
The two brothers had lunch before continuing their conversation.
The Fifth Prince thought of his business and said, "I have to go to the Lifanyuan tomorrow. You should be diligent for a few days and then find Youzi to rest after the Wanshou Festival."
The Fifth Prince had been an escort before, and knew the hardship of a long journey. It would take seven or eight days to recover.
The Ninth Prince nodded and said, "Well, I'll go there tomorrow..."
The Fifth Prince looked at him and said, "Why did you suddenly add the names of Akdan and Niguzhu?"
As for the smaller one, it's probably just there to make up the number.
The purpose is still for Akdan and Niguzhu.
This is his biological brother, and the Ninth Prince did not hide it. He whispered: "I want to ask for grace next year to allow Akdan to enter the palace to study."
Fifth Prince: “…”
With shame on his face, he said, "If it weren't for our Second Prince, Khan Ama wouldn't have ordered that only one person from each family be sent..."
As a result, my younger brother's family was implicated.
It would be fine if he was just an ordinary second son, but there is an age gap between him and the eldest son.
As for my younger brother, the eldest son and the second son were born one after the other and grew up together.
The Ninth Prince shook his head and said, "Why are you saying this? There is no order without rules. There are more and more children in the various mansions. If they all want to go to the palace to study, the South Study Room will not be able to accommodate them."
The Fifth Prince knew it very well.
Even if there are many imperial grandchildren who need to study in the future, that is a matter for the future.
If it wasn't to help cover up the Second Prince's shortcomings, the Imperial Court wouldn't have limited the number of imperial grandchildren who could study so early...
He became more and more annoyed.
My family’s problems actually affected my brother’s family.
He is neither a good father nor a good brother.
In front of his brother, he said nothing more.
But when he left the Ninth Prince's Mansion, he felt depressed.
When he got home, he looked in the direction of the main courtyard, became annoyed, and went to the side courtyard.
Guaerjia was sitting on the kang, doing needlework, wearing a brown headband.
Seeing the Fifth Prince coming in, she quickly stood up and said, "My Master is here..."
The Fifth Prince nodded, sat down on the kang, leaned over to look at her work, and said, "Who is this for? It looks a bit old-fashioned."
Guaerjia poured a cup of tea for the Fifth Prince, and said with respect and trust, "What color do you think is good, sir?"
"Who wears it?"
As the weather is getting warmer, not many people use headbands.
Guaerjia said: "I want to give this as a tribute to the Empress Dowager..."
After hearing this, the Fifth Prince showed some concern and took the headband.
This one is just dark in color and made of silk, which is smooth and thin.
It looks inconspicuous, but the stitching is fine and it features the pattern of five blessings holding longevity.
The Fifth Prince's face became more friendly, and he said, "This color is not bad, it can be used all year round. When autumn comes, we will change to thicker materials, or indigo. The Royal Grandmother's daily clothes are mostly indigo, and the same color headband is easy to match..."
At this point, he thought of Concubine Yi and said, "I'm making this for the Imperial Grandmother, but what about the Empress?"
Guaerjia said, "The queen likes to use incense in her room. I want to make two boxes of incense pills to honor the queen, but I'm afraid of breaking taboos, so I want to ask you..."
The Fifth Prince thought for a moment and said, "Incense pills are indeed inappropriate. If you know how to make dry incense, you can make a few sachets to honor the Empress. They will be convenient to carry with you for use and to fumigate clothes."
Guaerjia nodded and said, "Well, then I will prepare two pairs of purses. Your Majesty likes pink, and I happen to have a piece of silver-red silk in my dowry, which looks very bright..."
The Fifth Prince looked at Guaerjia's young face and felt a little dazed.
Although he is young, he is very thoughtful in his actions.
Especially towards the elders in the palace, he has filial piety.
Regardless of whether this filial piety was genuine or just for show, it was what the Fifth Prince had hoped for.
It's just that the person is not the right one.
For a moment, he was a little confused.
The Fifth Prince could no longer sit still, so he coughed lightly, stood up, and said, "You go ahead and do your work, I have something else to do in my study..."
Guaerjia stood up and said, "Then I will see you off..."
When the Fifth Prince came out, Guaerjia accompanied him all the way to the gate of the courtyard.
Only when the Fifth Prince waved his hand did Guaerjia stop, but she did not rush back to the house. Instead, she stood at the gate of the courtyard and watched the Fifth Prince leave.
The Fifth Prince felt the heat on his back and couldn't help but turn around, and saw Guaerjia smiling at him.
The Fifth Prince's heart softened, and he said, "Come back in the evening..."
Guaerjia smiled and nodded, saying, "Then I'll wait for you to come..."
*
When the Eighth Prince returned from the Imperial Household Department, he would listen to his subordinates reporting news from various places.
I knew that the Ninth Prince's Mansion was delivering food to Prince Gong's Mansion in the morning, and I also knew that the Fifth Prince was coming.
He asked, "You only sent it to Prince Gong's Mansion, but not Prince Yu's Mansion?"
The steward reported: "It was only delivered to Prince Gong's mansion. It was He Yuzhu who led people to deliver it."
The Eighth Prince raised his eyebrows.
It's really not thoughtful.
It's not wrong to do nothing, but the more you do, the more mistakes you make.
How can we favor one uncle over another when they are the same uncles?
