After Emperor Kangxi knew that the fourteenth elder brother couldn't play Manhua in odds and evens, he said to Concubine De with a smile: "The old fourteen and Manhua Gege guess the odds and doubles are not her opponents, I estimate that Manhua Gege is a little clever, just play some cleverness in front of the old fourteen!" ”

Kangxi was deeply impressed by Manhua and asked someone to secretly investigate her, but he didn't expect to find out that Manhua actually teamed up with Brother Jiu and made a lot of money in business.

"I really can't see that Manhua Gege is so capable at such a young age!" Kangxi felt a little surprised, and wanted to pay attention to this Gege, after all, she was the granddaughter of Prince An, and she was the grandson of her own prince, and her background was also qualified.

The fifth elder brother and the third elder brother like to play and sing, so the two brothers who play hard-hearted are sticking together all day long. The thirteenth elder brother has a good relationship with the fourth elder brother, and from time to time he fishes, hunts, archery, and practices calligraphy with the fourth elder brother.

The eighth elder brother is smart and capable, and there are nine elder brothers, ten elder brothers, and fourteenth elder brothers gathered around him. They hunted and archery together, and also liked to get together to read and write.

Because the crown prince is not angry, and there is intrigue between capable brothers, there is a dark tide surging in the Forbidden City, and those elder brothers want to secretly cultivate their own power, want to suppress their competitors, and then take the throne themselves.

The four concubines with the most status in the harem are Concubine Hui, Concubine Yi, Concubine De, and Concubine Rong, all of whom have princes, although their status is lower than that of Concubine Tong Jia, but their actual status is on an equal footing with Concubine Tong Jia, which makes her suffer a lot. Moreover, some concubines and nobles who gave birth to princes cannot be underestimated. For example, the good concubine Niangniang gave birth to a smart and capable eighth elder brother, she was born from a humble and dark background, and she is very hopeful of being promoted to the concubine position.

These harem concubines who gave birth to princes secretly supported the princes they gave birth to compete for power.

For the sake of her family and her own false name, Concubine Tong Jia tightly tied the fourth elder brother to her side. In order to make the fourth elder brother a member of the Tong Jia family, she secretly provoked a conflict between the fourth elder brother and Concubine De, so that her Tong Jia family could benefit from it.

The princes born to Concubine De, the fourth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother, grew up. She seems to be a quiet concubine, but she is not a concubine to be messed with, secretly fighting for the interests of her mother's family. In secret, she didn't take Concubine Tong Jia in her eyes, and wanted to replace her and sit on the throne of the concubine herself.

Concubine De saw that the fourth elder brother was getting close to Tong Jia's family, she was angry, and her relationship with the fourth elder brother was stiff, and she was secretly bullying Concubine Tong Jia.

It turned out that Manhua thought that Concubine De was a very talkative concubine, so she stayed quietly and didn't quarrel with anyone, but she didn't expect to be in the palace for a long time, and she knew that Concubine De was not a concubine who could be bullied casually. She doesn't talk much, but when she speaks, it's like a poisonous tongue spitting out letters, and few people can afford it.

Concubine Tong Jia failed to give birth to a prince, and in the face of those concubines who were aggressive and had princes, her momentum could not compare to them, and she endured many things, unless Kangxi gave her direct order, she faced those concubines who gave birth to princes.

Prince An was always worried that Manhua would suffer in the palace, after all, he knew that the palace seemed to be peaceful, but behind his back, he ate people and didn't spit out bones. Therefore, from time to time, I begged the eighth elder brother to send some pocket money to Manhua.

On this day, when the eighth elder brother saw Manhua, he took out a stack of silver tickets with a small denomination from his arms, and said to her: "Manhua Gege, Prince An asked the master to give you these silver tickets, and told you to buy whatever you want." If you ask for help, it's also convenient to use these small denomination silver tickets! ”

Manhua thought that his grandfather was too, he was so rich, and he didn't take these small denomination silver tickets seriously at all. So, I couldn't help but laugh.

The eighth elder brother knew what Manhua really thought in his heart, but he didn't say anything, and after two more gossips, he left.
