Chapter 67: The Princes
The eldest brother looked at his half-brother with a smile, and felt a little emotion in his heart, since the fifth brother's Eniang entered the palace, his Eniang has fallen out of favor, and he is not favored by Huang Ama because of his Eniang's relationship.
Over the years, he has also been working hard to get the favor of Huang Ama, but unfortunately, Huang Ama has not looked at him once.
On the contrary, the second brother, that is, the current crown prince, is most favored by the emperor Amma, but his eldest son is left out in the cold.
Although the prince is respectful to him as a big brother on the surface, he actually looks down on him in his heart.
He can endure these, but he can't tolerate it, if the second brother's bullying of Eniang hadn't been dissuaded by the prince, maybe his Eniang Concubine would have become the queen a long time ago.
The eldest brother thought in his heart, and made a decision in his heart, at the banquet for a while, he must compare with the prince to see who has the best amount of wine.
After thinking about it, the eldest brother glanced at Yinqi, and then asked: "Fifth brother, today is your birthday, and the eldest brother has nothing to give you, let the house bring a few good horses over and make you a congratulatory gift!" ”
As soon as the eldest elder brother finished speaking, the third elder brother next to him immediately took over the conversation, and joked with a smile: "Fifth brother, you are really blessed." I asked my eldest brother to give me a good horse on weekdays, but my eldest brother was reluctant, and today I actually made an exception to give it to you? ”
When the eldest brother heard this, he gave the third elder brother a blank look, "Third brother, don't talk nonsense!" When did you ask me for a horse? ”
The third elder brother pouted, and was about to reply when he heard the people of the Five Baylor Mansion pass through, "The prince has arrived!" ”
When everyone heard this, they all got up and knelt down, "The younger brother (slave) asks the prince to say goodbye, the prince is auspicious!" ”
The prince waved his hand and motioned for everyone to be exempt, "Get up!" ”
Then he glanced at everyone and said with a smile, "I came late today, so I kept you waiting." ”
"What did the prince say! Prince, it is an honor for you to come to your brother's birthday banquet with your face! Yinqi hurriedly said.
"Haha, what did the fifth brother say, between our brothers, there is no need to be formal!" After speaking, the crown prince looked at the eunuch beside him, "Go, bring up the gift I brought!" ”
"Yes!"
The eunuch bowed and retreated, and after a while, several young eunuchs came in with a few wooden boxes.
Yin Qi asked suspiciously: "Prince, the birthday banquet of his younger brother, why did the prince bring so many gifts?" ”
The crown prince explained with a smile, "Today is your birthday!" I specially ordered someone to prepare something to make you a congratulatory gift. ”
Saying that, the prince personally opened the cage, every item in the cage was extremely exquisite, Yinqi saw this, and was even more surprised in his heart, he didn't expect that the prince would treat him so kindly.
The eldest brother on the side looked at the 'generous gifts' given by the prince, and couldn't help but sneer, "The prince is really generous, I'm afraid these congratulatory gifts won't be saved for three or five years, right?" ”
The prince didn't pay attention to the eldest brother, and the rest of the elder brothers had different looks on their faces when they heard this.
"Prince, these gifts are too valuable." It was so valuable that Yinqi didn't dare to accept it, and the matter between the prince and Suo Etu, he occasionally heard from the eunuchs in the palace, if these items were obtained by the prince's wealth, then he would never dare to accept them.
The prince smiled and said, "What are you talking about, you are my younger brother, these are all as they should be." ”
The prince smiled and patted Yinqi's shoulder, the fifth brother is the son of the favorite concubine Yifei Niangniang, and the queen mother's favorite grandson, although he is the prince, but he also has to 'take care' of this fifth brother.
Yinqi originally wanted to refuse, but the prince insisted on doing so, so he had to accept it first.
"Okay, today is the fifth brother's birthday, don't stand, let's all sit down." The crown prince commanded.
After the prince sat down, everyone sat down as he said.
After a while, the maids came over with tea.
"Prince, you taste, this is the best Longjing. I don't know if the prince likes it. Yinqi glanced at the prince and asked cautiously.
The prince picked up the teacup and took a sip, the tea was fragrant, the rich taste was refreshing, it was really a good tea, it seemed to be more pure than the taste of Longjing in the palace, he couldn't help but admire, "This tea is really good!" ”
When Yinqi heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "It's good if the prince likes it!" ”
After speaking, he glanced at the other elder brothers, "Don't be formal, you should be in your own mansion." ”
As soon as Yinqi's words fell, a slightly chubby, honest-looking, handsome, and feminine-looking elder brother suddenly walked in, and the four of them saluted to the princes in the house, "Brothers, please say hello to the prince, hello to all brothers!" ”
Yinqi was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, and the ninth, tenth, thirteenth, and fourteenth brothers also came.
The birthday banquet that I said with my grandson Fujin before was simpler, and as a result. Now it looks like it's a bit grandiose.
"The ninth brother, the tenth brother, the thirteenth brother, the fourteenth brother, you are also here!" Yinqi got up with a smile, come on, come on, sit down!
Several people sat down separately, and the prince glanced at them with a smile, "Today is the fifth brother's birthday, let's all have fun and relax." ”
Yinqi saw that the prince said this, so he agreed to come down.
Everyone exchanged a few more greetings, and Steward Yan walked in respectfully and saluted to all the elder brothers, "Lord Belle, Chang Fujin just asked people to come over to pay respects, it's time for dinner." ”
Only then did the princes walk from Yinqi's study to the main hall of Wubeile Mansion.
A group of people hugged the prince and walked forward, entered the main hall, and when Guarjia Yinan saw all the princes coming, he immediately led the ladies in the palace to greet him.
Guarjia Yinan wears a flag costume of pink embroidered orchids, which is decorated with gemstones, agate, jade, etc., and has gold steps, silver hairpins, pearls, hostas, etc. on her head, which looks graceful and luxurious.
"Wufujin has an extraordinary temperament, fifth brother, you are really a blessing!" The prince looked at Guerjia Yinan and praised him sincerely.
When Guerjia Yinan heard this, her face was shy, "The prince praised it falsely." ”
Yin Zhen listened to their conversation, smiled lightly, he looked at Wanyue, and saw that there was a little sadness between her eyebrows, and his heart couldn't help but tighten, this woman is jealous of each other, just like the group of women in his house.
Thinking of the woman in the house, Yinzhen felt a headache, he coughed lightly and changed the topic, "Prince, since it is the birthday of the fifth brother, we should also give this birthday a few glasses of wine." ”
"Yes, yes, yes! On the birthday of the fifth brother, we must return happy! When the prince heard this, he echoed with a smile.
The prince beckoned all the princes to sit down and drink, Yinqi was pulled to the table, and all the princes raised their wine glasses and toasted to Yinqi, "Fifth brother (fifth brother), on this birthday, we have to get you drunk, otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of wine?" ”
Yin Qi raised his wine glass with a smile and drank it all, "Okay, since you are so gracious, then I might as well be respectful." ”
"Good! The fifth brother is really refreshing! Seeing Yinqi like this, the other princes applauded, and then each toasted Yinqi with a glass of wine.
For a while, the staggered and fragrant wine were permeated, so it was not lively.
After Yinqi drank a few glasses, he felt a little dizzy, but he didn't show it, and kept smiling and coping.
Newcomers and new books, ask for collections, ask for recommendations, ask for comments, all kinds of requests.
