Chapter 54: A Letter from Outside the Palace
Hua Xi is Prince An's most beloved grandson, and he has a good relationship with Manhua, just like Prince An's palm and the back of his hand. The two of them lived with Prince An for a period of time, and their relationship was closer than that of their brother and sister.
Hua Xi wrote letters from time to time to ask Manhua about his situation in the palace, and when he saw the fifth elder brother, he asked him to help bring the letter into the palace with delicious food and fun.
Although Prince An doesn't look down on the fifth elder brother, he thinks that he has no ambitions, he only likes to play, play and sing, and doesn't want Manhua to marry him as a concubine. However, Prince An himself also likes to play and sing, and he also likes to drink, and at this point, he is a New Year's friend with the fifth elder brother. Therefore, Prince An and the fifth elder brother don't count playing and singing together, they also drink together.
The fifth elder brother often drank too much in Prince An's mansion and couldn't walk steadily, so Prince An asked the groom to send him into the palace in a carriage.
this day. The fifth elder brother went to Prince An's mansion and drank with Prince An. After he had drunk too much, Prince An sent him out, and then handed over a letter that it was for Manhua.
The fifth elder brother drank too much wine, and then took the carriage of Prince An's mansion into the palace. His groom helped him lead the horse back to the palace.
After the fifth elder brother entered the Forbidden City, he took a walk in the palace, wanting to let the alcohol on his body get rid of some of it, and then go back to his own place, otherwise the mother concubine would see it, and it would be another nagging.
The fifth elder brother was walking around the palace, and the fourth elder brother and the eighth elder brother came to him.
The fifth elder brother saw his two brothers coming over, stumbled to the fourth elder brother, and saluted him.
Then the eighth elder brother saluted the fifth elder brother again.
The prince must strictly abide by the etiquette of the palace, and he can't be sloppy, if he doesn't comply, let Kangxi know, he will be scolded.
The fourth elder brother saw that the fifth elder brother couldn't even walk steadily, so he asked him, "Old five, where are you going to drink?" Walking unsteadily, let your mother see it, it must be another nagging. ”
"Fourth brother, when the mother concubine sees it, she will definitely nag. Therefore, fifth brother, I will take a walk first and then go back. ”
"Fifth brother, take a walk slowly, be careful not to fall."
"Okay, the fifth brother will be careful!"
The fifth elder brother took a few steps forward, and suddenly remembered that there was another letter to be handed over to Manhua, so he took out the letter from his arms and handed it to the starling brother, and said to him: "Eighth brother, I don't want to go to see my mother, because the smell of alcohol on my body is too heavy. Please help me forward this letter to Manhua Gege, this is the ...... that Prince An brought her."
The eighth elder brother had to take the letter from the fifth elder brother and put it in his arms.
"Thank you!"
"Fifth brother, don't thank you for this kind of trivial matter
The fifth elder brother walked for a while, and felt that the alcohol on his body was not so heavy, so he took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, and under the cover of serving his eunuch, he quietly returned to the information and lay down on the bed to sleep.
The starling brother wanted to send the letter to Manhua, and he said to the fourth elder brother: "Fourth brother, let's go, let's go over there." At this time, Manhua Gege is usually there to laugh or take a walk! ”
The fourth elder brother knew that the eighth elder brother helped Prince An send things to Manhua from time to time. He also smiled and didn't say anything, so he walked slowly with his eighth brother, talking as he went.
The fourth elder brother and the eighth elder brother have not really entered the battle for the throne yet, on the surface, they are good brothers who love each other, not the kind of strong opponents who tear their faces and want to kill each other......
The fourth elder brother and the eighth elder brother knew that Hua Xi, the grandson of Prince An, often corresponded with Manhua, and he didn't say anything on the surface, but in his heart, he had his own ideas.
