Chapter 14: Brothers
Princess Xintai and Princess Changkang each went out a few times with their own half-brothers, in the end, even if they were not raised in one place, they were always closer than others, and when they came to Ji Shen, Ji Hui and Ji Heng were also a little more generous, although they were still not as energetic as Ji Kai and Ji Wei, and they would not bow their heads and answer embarrassedly.
This time Princess Xintai and Ji Heng returned from hunting, and by the way, they went to Mu Biwei to ask for peace, Ji Heng followed his sister, and called "Mu Mu Concubine" with some restraint, Mu Biwei was kind and exempted, and called him to talk, Ji Heng was a little nervous at first, but seeing Mu Biwei's kind expression, he didn't care about the traces on his face, and gradually became natural, he was raised by the Empress Dowager Gao, and the response was very polite, but he kept paying attention to Mu Biwei's face, as if he was afraid that he would not be liked.
Seeing him so cautious, compared to when the Sun family was there, Princess Xintai grew up under the protection of her biological mother, even if she had the admittedly strict and harsh female history teaching like Yang Nushi, there were still times when she was domineering...... Mu Biwei sighed slightly in her heart, and she was getting better and better for him.
This side said harmoniously, before the meal, Mu Biwei opened her mouth to leave the meal, and said: "Your eldest sister took your third brother and cousin out to try it today, and asked me to say that it is better for the four of you to be companions together, and the mother concubine is more relieved." β
Princess Xintai glanced at her gratefully, knowing that Mu Biwei meant to make Ji Heng accustomed to crowded occasions, after all, as a prince, there is no hiding from people all his life, Princess Xiping and the three of them have Mu Biwei's teaching, so naturally they will not laugh at Ji Heng, and the entourage around them is not a person without eyes, so even if Ji Heng is cautious at first, but seeing that everyone doesn't care about their appearance, they can increase their confidence to some extent.
When Ji Heng heard that he was going to hunt with Princess Xiping and Ji Kai, he showed hesitation and panic, but he was pulled by Princess Xintai's sleeve, he was already very worried about not being liked because of his inferiority, and it was rare that his sister didn't mind, and persuaded him everywhere, of course, for fear of making his sister unhappy - he was even more afraid of offending Mu Biwei, so he had to thank Mu Biwei for his kindness.
The three of them talked, before dinner, Princess Xiping and Ji Kai and Mu Kite-Niang were surrounded and came back, Mu Biwei didn't wait for them to bend down and said goodbye, because she saw Ji Kai's face was flushed and sweat was still hanging on her forehead, so she hated him: "Why are you playing so crazy, I don't know how to wipe the sweat of my body." β
The attendant who accompanied Ji Kai out of the hunt hurriedly pleaded guilty, Mu Biwei didn't pay attention to it, only called Ji Kai to him, and wiped him with a handkerchief, Ah Shan ordered them to be punished for a month of silver - Ji Kai let his mother wipe his sweat on his own, and said: "When Erchen came back, he was racing horses with his eldest sister and cousin, but unfortunately he almost won." β
Princess Xiping said proudly: "If you want to win, you have to practice for a few years, is it easy for me to practice this hand?" β
When Mu Biwei said this, he immediately glanced sideways: "Who allowed you to use it again?" "Princess Xiping followed Mu Bicheng to learn riding, when practicing this hand, she fell once, broke her forehead, almost broke her face, Mu Biwei even scolded Mu Bicheng, she was not allowed to take any more risks, and now Princess Xiping said happily that she missed her mouth, and immediately attracted Mu Biwei's reprimand, and couldn't help but stick out her tongue and regret it.
However, although she listened to Mu Biwei's scolding, she was not afraid, looked left and right, and saw Ji Heng sitting silently beside Princess Xintai, and hurriedly changed the topic: "The second brother is also here?" β
Ji Heng came to see Xiping and his party come back, and immediately stopped, with his experience, whether it is Ji Kai or Ji Wei, on any occasion where these two younger brothers are there, he and Ji Hui have no sense of existence, let alone in front of Ji Kai's biological mother?
I didn't want Xiping to ask about myself, so I hurriedly got up and said, "Yes." β
Xiping smiled and said: "The second brother doesn't have to be restrained, I still told the third brother and cousin today, you two sisters and brothers are good, don't always leave us behind!" How about we hang out together, Ming'er? Seeing that Ji Heng still didn't sit down, he hurriedly said, "We are all our own sisters and brothers, just sit down and talk." β
Ji Heng sat down as he was toldβbut he didn't know what to say, so he instinctively fell silent.
Seeing this, Princess Xintai had no choice but to round the field for him and said, "The mother concubine just said so." β
"That's just right." Xiping beckoned, "Second brother is here for dinner." "Although she doesn't live with Mu Biwei now, because she was raised by Mu Biwei since she was born, she has always taken Chenglian Hall as her home, and now in the West Pole Palace, she naturally regards herself as the little master of Mu Biwei.
"The mother concubine has said it a long time ago." Xintai grimaced at her, "The eldest sister is one step too late to be a good person!" β
Xiping said: "Ah, didn't you just come here?" I also said that the mother didn't have time to say it. β
Mu Bi smiled and said, "Yingluo and Henglang have been here for a while. β
At this time, Ji Kai had already eaten two pieces of dim sum and one fruit, Fan was carefully wiping the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and whispered to remind him that dinner was coming up, don't continue to eat, after Ji Kai agreed, he looked at Ji Heng, and remembered that Mu Biwei had told him not to talk about the premise of this second brother, but he couldn't snub or discriminate against him, pondered for a while, and said enthusiastically: "Second brother, how about we race horses again tomorrow?" β
Ji Heng was really not used to talking in front of everyone like this, but he couldn't ignore Ji Hao, so he blushed and said, "Okay." Princess Xintai secretly pulled the corner of his clothes, obviously thinking that his attitude was too blunt when he only said one word, so he had to say, "I'm not very good at riding." β
"I'm not good either." Ji Kai said happily, "Let's consult my little uncle together?" The eldest sister's riding skills were taught by the younger uncle. β
Ji Heng replied indiscriminately.
Mu Biwei asked, "Did you meet your little uncle today?" β
"Not by meeting." Xiping glanced at Ji Wei and said with a smile, "It's the third brother who asked his father to come." β
"Huh?"
Ji Kai thought for a moment that he shouldn't have made any mistakes in doing this, and then continued: "The fourth brother wants his uncle to accompany him, and Erchen also has an uncle, so he also mentioned it. β
"It was Yuro who asked for it first, you said it?" Mu Biwei said strangely, "Does he want the prince of Wuying County to accompany him on the hunt?" β
Ji Kai said: "The fourth brother told his father that he wanted to be with his uncle and cousin, and his father approved it, and the son had already heard from the eldest sister that the little uncle was good at riding, so he mentioned it in passing, and the father gave the little uncle to the son." β
He said it calmly and casually, and Ji Heng's eyes showed clear envy - he not only envied Ji Wei and Ji Wei for having uncles who could accompany him, but also envied that they could get along with each other casually in front of their father Ji Shen...... The difference between Ji Shen's mood when he saw his eldest son and second son and his special joy when he saw his daughter or third son or fourth son is that everyone can find that although Princess Xintai reached over in time to hold Ji Heng's hand, Ji Heng thought desperately, maybe he can't have such a frank and fearless attitude in front of his father in his life?
The scar from the smallpox destroyed not only the position of the prince, but also the confidence.

At about the same time, Ji Wei, one of the most envious people in Ji Heng's mind, was standing timidly in front of He's, He still looked like he was smiling at the corners of his mouth and had a kind attitude, but Ji Wei was sensitive to notice that she seemed to be a little unhappy, and he didn't dare to talk more.
He pondered for a long time before asking, "Do you miss your uncle very much?" β
"Erchen is a little missing." Ji Wei whispered - He had never beaten and scolded him, but he always felt that this concubine looked at him, making him feel a little uncomfortable unexpectedly, but he couldn't sue...... Over time, he gradually became afraid of this concubine.
"But your uncle is the son of Wuyingjun." He has always been a "good temper", the meaning of a good temper is that he never gets angry in front of people, and at this moment, his voice is also very soft to Ji Wei, and he is full of earnest and seductive meaning, "Your maternal grandfather, Wuying Jungong, is now old, and when driving, there is always someone around to take care of him, your uncle is his eldest son......"
Ji Wei pursed his lips: "Back to the words of the concubine, the son-in-law...... And an uncle. β
"That's true." He said calmly, "But you miss your uncle, but you only call your eldest uncle and your eldest uncle's cousin to accompany you, and you don't call you your little uncle, how can your little uncle be happy?" β
Ji Wei was stunned, and then said: "Uncle Xiao will not be subservient......"
"That's because your little uncle sympathizes with you." He Shi smiled lightly and said, "But how can he feel better in his heart?" Think about it, if your mother didn't wait for you, but called your brothers over and ate it all, would you be happy? β
"This ......" Ji Wei suddenly hesitated.
Seeing this scene, He's eyes showed a hint of pride, children...... In the end, he was still greedy, and he didn't want Ji Wei to think for a moment, but said: "If it's the eldest brother and the second brother, it's okay for them to eat, but if it's the third brother, it's ......."
"Why can't your third brother?" He asked strangely, "Aren't they all your brothers?" β
Ji Wei clenched his fists hard, looked up at her and said, "The third brother is different. He said firmly, "My father doesn't like the eldest brother and the second brother, they are very pitiful, and the sons don't want to worry about them for a bowl of giant victory slaves, but the third brother is the same as the sons, he has the love of the father and the emperor, the love of the mother and the concubine, and he also has the love of the eldest sister and the second sister, and the sons don't want him!" β
He frowned: "Your eldest sister and second sister treat you badly?" β
"It's not." Ji Wei shook his head, "Eldest sister and second sister...... As long as there are three brothers, everything is close to the three brothers, and Erchen doesn't like this! β
He Shi looked at him for a moment and laughed: "This is ...... Did your uncle tell you, or did your cousin tell you? β
Ji Wei was silent for a moment but said, "It's Erchen who thinks so." β
"Why?"
"Some of the sons of the third brother don't have them, and the sons are unwilling." Ji Wei lowered his eyes and said lightly.
What he was thinking in his heart was the words that Su Qian stroked the top of his head: "It's not strange that your mother doesn't treat you closely, no...... It's not that you're not well-behaved and obedient enough, don't ...... It's not that you're not smart enough and not diligent enough - she's not your biological mother, if your queen mother is still there, what does Mu Guiji mean to the third prince? She will definitely love you a hundred times and love you, whether you are smart or stupid, your mother doesn't care about this, so you don't have to force your mother to treat you like Mu Guiji did to the third prince...... Your queen mother chose her to be your concubine so that she could protect you, so you should listen to her...... But you don't have to take her too seriously......"
For the first time, the young Ji Wei understood a truth, whether a person will really love you or not has nothing to do with your efforts to be well-behaved and obedient!
After Su Luo shattered his illusions about the He family, he said meaningfully: "You still have your father!" β
But the father's favorite son is not the only one......
- Fortunately, there are only two of them!
