Chapter 696 Venison (Part 1)

The emperor is in the throne of Kreuliyasutai.

Although it was not yet Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather on the grassland was getting colder. Yidu stood tightly and looked not far away. Within his sight, an official wearing a white geese dress followed the eunuch and walked towards the direction of the Holy Divine.

Seeing this, Yiduli couldn't help but sigh. At this time, someone laughed and said, "Old Yi, what are you watching?"

It was the Sixteenth Prince who arrived, and Yiduli quickly turned around and greeted the Sixteenth Prince.

The sixteenth prince held his arm and said, "Why do you pay respects to him when you see him three or two in a day? If there are no outsiders, you will save these false rituals."

While speaking, the Sixteenth Prince looked in the direction the Sixteenth Prince had just looked, and shadows recognized that it was the Shaoqing of Taipu Temple who was called to come from the capital to report.

There are several Hua Shan in this dynasty, the most famous one is the deceased Heshuo's prince, the inner minister Hua Shan, who is the family of Yiduli.

Hua Shan, who had just followed the eunuch, was originally a guard in the palace. After Yiduli was demoted last year, he took over as the Shaoqing of the Taipu Temple.

"Old Yi knows Hua Shan?" The sixteenth prince said with a smile: "This time it's a bargain. There is a shortage of military horses in the northwest, and the supply of the Eight Banners Ranch is insufficient. This time, I will rely on the two-wing ranch of Taipu Temple. After solving the military horse problem, the emperor was happy. Even if he doesn't rise, he will have a bright future."

Because he was familiar with the Sixteenth Prince, Yiduli was less concerned and said, "Sixteenth Master, I was just because of this annoyance. To be honest, if Lord Cao and Tang Zhiyu were not dedicated to the two-wing ranch, they would not have achieved the same results today, but they would not have been the master of today's successors who planted trees and later generations enjoyed the cool air. Called it Tang Zhiyu came over to talk to him, and the slave didn't say anything; but Hua Shan, the master who might not even have been to the ranch..."

The sixteenth prince nodded and said, "That's right. Although there was no big news, I didn't see Cao Yong being idle. The method of epidemic prevention seemed to be the one he and Tang Zhiyu had figured out that year."

In fact, Yiduli said this, but in his heart he lamented that he was not lucky. If he had no mistakes and asked the censor to catch Xiaopengzi and impeach him, then the one who came to report today would be himself.

Although he is free and easy on the face, which man doesn’t expect him to succeed?

Those who are both scholars, either become governors or governors, or the officials of the church, are the only ones who are ups and downs and downs and still keep on the position of the officials.

During the holidays, he felt embarrassed when he met his tribe members.

The Sixteenth Prince is a human sperm, so he naturally understands it at a glance that Yiduli is pantothenic acid.

He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I just asked someone to exchange for a few pieces of venison. Let's go, Lao Yi, go barbecue with me..."

"Venerine? Are the ones I visited a few days ago?" Yiduli said with a smile: "It's better to follow the Sixteenth Master to make a fire outside the tent."

The sixteenth prince turned his head, looked towards the direction of the capital, and said, "I saw the Mid-Autumn Festival. The gifts of meat to the capital, and the governors from other provinces, are almost here... I still have Cao Yong's share this year, which is decent..."

Haidian, Lianbeile Garden.

Looking at the budding chrysanthemums in the garden, the Ninth Prince also felt a little leisurely. Looking at the scenery in the garden, she smiled and said to the Eighth Prince next to her: "Brother, this is a good place to rest and have a good scenery. Although it cannot be said to be a paradise, I have fewer worries when I stay in this garden. The only drawback is that there are many flowers and plants, but fewer moving flowers. When the eighth sister-in-law changed her temperament, it is the great blessing for her brother." The last sentence lowered the volume and joked.

The eighth prince looked thin, but his complexion improved a lot.

After hearing the Ninth Prince's words, he smiled, pointed to the small houses in front, and said, "Brother Ninth, go over there and have a look. I have also built a quiet room."

"Qingshi?" The Ninth Prince heard this and said, "Can my brother learn from the fourth brother to meditate?"

"It's not meditation, I'm reading the "Tao Te Ching" recently." The Eighth Prince said calmly.

After hearing this, the Ninth Prince stopped, stopped the smile on his face, gave him a little worry, and said, "Brother..."

The eighth prince reached out and patted his shoulder and said, "Ninth brother, don't worry, my brother is still in love with the world and can't be a Taoist priest. He has been lonely for a year, thought a lot, and seems to have realized a lot. Thinking of the prosperity of the past, the arrogant and shallow at that time, he was not without regrets." Speaking of this, his gaze looked at the distant sky and said, "If he could calm down as soon as possible and go to the vanity, he would not end up in this situation today."

This is a re-introduction of old words, and tears are all about saying it.

Even if I want to come to the careless Ninth Prince, I can't bear to continue this topic, which makes the Eighth Prince sad.

He remembered something and said, "Brother, tell me about it with my sister-in-law, and keep all the gold in the mansion and make up more."

"My ninth brother uses money? Why do you still have to ask for gold? I don't know how much gold is. If there is silver, the silver treasury in the mansion seems to be a little bit. If you want to use it, you should just talk more, just talk." said the eighth prince.

"Look at what the starling said, if my brother is short of silver, wouldn't he be generous in this capital?" The Ninth Prince said with a little pride: "It was the news from the clan's mansion that it was the exchange of gold from the clan's family. The official exchange was one tael of gold for ten taels of silver, and they exchanged eleven taels of silver."

The Eighth Prince was confused. A few days ago, he heard the Ninth Prince telling him that the clan mansion was short of money, and he was afraid that the emperor would "rob the rich and help the poor" to make him a move. Why did the clan mansion have money now?

Seeing that the Eighth Prince was puzzled, the Ninth Prince said, "I forgot to mention it to my brother. Yaerjiang A paid 200,000 taels of silver from the Ministry of Revenue last month."

"Twenty-hundred thousand? Didn't it mean that the Ministry of Revenue is short of money and is about to start donating and raise funds?" The eighth prince became more and more confused as he heard it. Logically speaking, he was also well-informed in all directions in the officialdom.

But after moving to the garden, he wanted to go to the impetuous and cultivate his character, so he was not too concerned about external news.

Now, when I listen to this in one place, I feel awkward, as if there is something in it that I don’t know.

This feeling is very bad, as if I have become a useless person.

"It seems that the clan's mansion is short of money. According to the previous example, the money will be paid for by the Ministry of Revenue." The Ninth Prince said: "Who in the royal family would think whether the imperial court lacks money? As long as they don't feel wronged, it's good. Otherwise, I don't know how to make trouble. The emperor cannot afford to treat the clan's relatives, so I can only indulge them. They are all waste snacks. If it weren't for the blood of Aisin Gioro, I'm afraid there would be no place to go to beg for food."

At the end, the Ninth Prince was already a little contemptuous.

The two brothers were talking when an eunuch ran over in a hurry.

"What's the matter? I'm so panicked?" Seeing him, the Eighth Prince frowned and said, "Have you seen me talking to Master Jiu? Go down and get twenty boards from the supervisor."

The eunuch shivered when he heard this. He still knelt down and thanked his master for his "grace" and then reported: "Master, Madam Ding ordered me to come and ask my master over. He said that... I am afraid that something is wrong with the concubine..."

When the Eighth Prince heard this, he couldn't help but have a headache, afraid that he had not been quiet for several days.

The Eighth Concubine was the daughter of the princess. She was spoiled since childhood and was the most unbearable person. The Eighth Prince stopped her salary these days, and there were rumors about the silence outside, which was nothing more than losing her holy heart and banning her.

The Eighth Concubine was not convinced. If she heard someone ridicule, she would definitely scold her and return it.

Today I heard that I went to the Chengwang Mansion Garden to listen to the opera, so I must have heard something ugly.

"Didn't the Eighth Sister-in-law visit? Are you back?" Seeing that the Eighth Prince didn't move for a long time, the Ninth Prince said, "Since there is something wrong with the Eighth Sister-in-law, go quickly. I won't go to pay my respects to the Eighth Sister-in-law today. The Eighth Brother will say hello to the Eighth Sister-in-law on behalf of the younger brother."

The Ninth Prince was obedient and had also seen the harshness of the Eighth Prince. He was afraid that the Eighth Prince would not be able to see through his face, so he said goodbye tactfully.

The Eighth Prince smiled bitterly and said, "I still want to buy a table with someone to have a meal. I have a drink with my ninth brother. It seems that I will be suffering after waiting."

"I will come again in two days. Then I will exchange two jars of good wine to honor my brother and sister-in-law." The ninth prince said with a smile, and did not stay for a long time. He asked someone to call his close servant He Yuzhu and went out casually.

After leaving the garden, the Ninth Prince asked, "You were waiting by the garden just now. Have you heard the movements in the house? What's going on? What's going on in the Eighth Concubine?"

"When I say that, I am far away, and I am not real when I hear something happening there. But from afar, I saw the mothers dragging a girl out. Maybe I have disobeyed the Eighth Concubine and been swept with family rules. I am afraid I didn't get over it."

Thinking of the Eighth Concubine's temper, even the Ninth Prince frowned and said to himself: "How old are you, you still have this temper? Why don't you think about learning the "Tao Te Ching" with your husband..."

House in front of the garden, Huanxiu Hall.

Looking at the messy ground and thinking about the blood stains in the yard that had not yet been washed away, the Eighth Prince looked at the Eighth Prince who was crying almost crazy, and whispered to Madam Ding beside her, saying, "Did you hear any bad things again?"

Madam Ding shook her head and whispered the reason.

The root of this time is not gossip, but because of venison.

There are many concubines who have listened to operas today, but no one dares to provoke her if they know the temper of the Eighth Prince. Even if the Eighth Prince is not successful, he is still the status of the prince of the current dynasty.

There are not many people who dare to mock the Eighth Concubine in person; but she is very careful. Some words that clearly don’t mean the same thing, but they sound like good things. She only thinks that others have a hidden meaning and must argue for a while before she can calm down.

While listening to the opera, the imperial guards came over to pass the imperial edict, which was a reward from Kangxi, two pieces of venison.

The third prince was following the entourage, and the third concubine happily received the order and thanked the holy grace.

Although no one family lacks these pieces of meat, this is something that Mulan is surrounded by, and it is also a gift from the emperor. The Three Concubines naturally have a glory on their faces, and other noble ladies are also flattering.

The Three Concubines were influenced by their husbands' "humility", saying that it was the grace of the Emperor Ama, and the designation was also found in other princes' houses.

It just so happened that the fifth concubine also lived in Haidian Garden. After hearing this, he asked the guards more.

In addition to the third prince, there are all the fourth prince, fifth prince, seventh prince, ninth prince, tenth prince and twelfth prince. Even the princes in the palace are all part of the princes.

The Eighth Concubine next to him had changed her face after hearing this.

Among the princes of the dynasty, except for the eldest prince and the third prince who were in the circle, and the Thirteenth prince who were in the circle, only the eighth prince did not give him any meat.

She had a heart disease, and when she looked at others, she felt that other people's eyes were wrong.

After saying a few words in a cold voice, the Eighth Concubine came out of the Chenggong Mansion Garden and returned to his own garden.

But the more she thought about it, the more she felt wronged, and the more she felt annoyed. Even if the father and son had something incompatible, they were the closest relatives. Could it be that if she lost her holy heart, the eighth prince was not the prince and she was not the prince’s concubine?

In this way, when it comes to the eyes of those who are interested, the husband is like the eldest prince, the second prince and the others, and he is completely useless.

Angry, the Eighth Concubine held Ruyi on the kang table and threw it hard to the ground. The fragments splashed, making a little maid next to her scream in surprise.

The Eighth Concubine looked over, and the little maid almost lost her soul. She quickly knelt down and kowtowed to apologize. Because she was frightened, tears came out, and she was filled with pear blossoms and rain.

The Eighth Concubine was full of evil and fire, and the most unbearable thing was that the maid was charming and snorted coldly, and dragged her out to hit the board.

This maid should be unlucky. Before she could be dragged out, she was already so scared that her pants were wet.

The Eighth Concubine was feeling unlucky. When she saw the urine stains on the ground, her eyes turned black and she almost passed away. The maid also changed from forty boards to "beating hard, beating to death."

After hearing this story, the eighth prince looked stunned, and felt a chill on his back, and his whole body was so cold that his teeth were about to tremble.

The Eighth Concubine was crying in tears. When she saw her husband coming in, she slowly stopped crying. However, after hearing Madam Ding’s story, she couldn’t help but burst into tears again.

She stood up and took two steps forward, not caring about the mother-in-law and maid being by her side, hugged her husband and cried, "Master, when the priest comes back, I will go to the palace to ask the queen mother and go to the palace to ask the emperor. The emperor is so cruel. What crime has he committed? He will suffer such grievances..."

The eighth prince felt stuffy on his chest, salty mouth, and hot throat, and vomited a mouthful of blood. He swallowed hard, reached out, patted his wife's back comfortably, and said softly: "It's just a piece of meat, what's there to worry about..."

Cao Mansion, Lanyuan, Shangfang.

Looking at the two half-dried venison on the plate, each of which is the size of a palm and the imperial silk on the edge, Cao Yong was also quite novel. He thrust twice and said, "Is it a little too little? It's only two kilograms to touch. Tianyou, the two little guys in Hengsheng, now they have a lot of appetite."

Seeing his son like this, Li couldn't help laughing and said, "It's a royal gift from Mongolia that has traveled thousands of miles away. How many more can it be? It's the emperor's grace. I think there are only two pieces of them, and I think there are some people who can get them. Tianyou and the others want to eat venison, and there are still some in the kitchen, but they are not just these two pieces of venison at home."

Chu Yu was by his side, and he also agreed with what his mother-in-law said.

Li's side had already asked someone to go to the central hall to set up an incense table and ordered the meat to be offered to the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion banquet, the whole family would enjoy it and feel the holy grace.

It’s not that she has shallow eyes and has never seen venison before, and she takes it as a precious object; but because of the rules, she always has to be more serious and respectful.
