Chapter 2079: Perceiving the Unfairness
Everyone was chatting and laughing when the Crown Princess and the Ninth Princess arrived.
Both of them came to deliver something.
The Crown Princess prepared a cage of quails and two flying dragons.
Jiugege prepared Mongolian fruits, which were fried in several different colors.
The Queen Mother motioned for Nanny Bai to take it and said with a smile, "You guys wait at home, I will bring you some delicious food too."
The time was almost up, so everyone left the North Garden without delay.
Even though there was no ceremonial guard, the noise made by everyone going out was still quite loud.
In addition to the guards and escorts of the Fifth and Ninth Beile's Mansions, there are also guards and escorts in the palace, which total about 400 people.
In addition, there were dozens of maids, eunuchs, nannies and others who followed them.
Including the master, there are nearly 500 people.
As soon as the convoy set off, someone noticed it.
The news spread quickly, and everyone knew that the Queen Mother had traveled...
*
In the duty room of Changchun Garden, Fourteenth Prince originally wanted to look for Thirteenth Prince, but when he thought about how Thirteenth Prince kept silent when he was being scolded yesterday, he felt it was pointless.
Obviously, they could have brought a few more people with them, but they kept the news a secret.
Fifth Prince, you are not kind.
The Fourteenth Prince naturally would not doubt that the Fifth Prince had any ambitions in monopolizing the Queen Mother, but he also felt that it was not just out of filial piety.
This must be because he is thinking about the Queen Mother's private property.
You know, the storehouse in Ningshou Palace has more than a dozen rooms.
The Fourteenth Prince is not a stingy person, but he is also depressed.
They are both grandsons, so it’s ok that the Queen Mother values the Fifth Prince, but why does she also value the Ninth Prince?
Not only does the Fifth Prince take advantage of the situation himself, he also wants to drag the Ninth Prince into taking advantage of it as well. Aren’t these two brothers going too far?
Even if this infringement is not on his interests, it is on Jiugege's interests.
The Fourteenth Prince was very upset, so he left Changchun Garden and went to the princess's residence.
Jiugege came back from sending someone off, feeling a little nauseous, and was sniffing a grapefruit peel.
When she heard that the Fourteenth Prince was coming, she was a little puzzled.
Although they are siblings, they are not very close because of the age gap.
For example, this time when they moved to Haidian and lived next to each other, the Fourteenth Prince did not come over and only sent the princess over once.
Since it wasn't someone else, the Ninth Princess didn't move and directly ordered people to bring the Fourteenth Prince to the main courtyard.
Seeing how calm and composed Ninth Princess was, Fourteenth Prince said, "Sister, why aren't you anxious? The Empress Dowager has asked Fifth Brother and Ninth Brother to go and coax her away..."
This nonsensical sentence made Jiugege frown: "What kind of nonsense is this?"
Fourteenth Prince said, "You are still deceiving yourself. Is Fifth Brother a troublemaker? Did Ninth Brother get close to the Imperial Grandmother in his early years? All these have been planned right before your eyes, and you are not fighting for it?"
The Ninth Princess's face became more solemn. She stared at the Fourteenth Prince and said, "You don't care about the rules? What the Empress Dowager says, what the Fifth Brother and the Ninth Brother say, is none of your business. Is it your turn to comment?"
The Fourteenth Prince looked at the Ninth Princess and said, "I am only speaking the truth. If I were not thinking about the Imperial Grandmother's private possessions, would I have to resort to all these tricks?"
The Ninth Princess looked annoyed, glaring at the Fourteenth Prince and said, "Well, in your eyes, there is no filial piety, right? The good idea of dressing up to entertain your parents has turned into something devious..."
The Fourteenth Prince snorted, "Only others are allowed to scheme, and I am not allowed to say anything? Even if the Empress Dowager only favors the grandchildren she raised, they are still my fifth brother and my sister. She can't leave all the good things to my fifth brother, right?"
The Ninth Princess looked at the Fourteenth Prince with surprise, and after a long while she said, "You have been generous since childhood, and you are not the type to take advantage of others. Why are you saying all this? It is up to the Empress Dowager to decide who the Empress Dowager wants to give her private property to. When I left the palace, she had already given me a lot of things. I don't care about the rest, so it's not your turn to care about it either!"
Fourteenth Brother: "..."
He looked at Jiugege carefully.
This sister is not the type of person who says one thing and means another.
She said this and thought this.
The Fourteenth Prince could not understand and said, "Even if the Royal Grandmother gave Sister some dowry, how much could it be? At most, it would be half a set of dowry and a few dozen things. But in the Royal Grandmother's private storehouse, there are so many good things!"
The Ninth Princess shook her head and said, "No matter how many good things there are, they have nothing to do with me. The Imperial Grandmother raised me, and I am the only one who owes her. The Imperial Grandmother doesn't owe me anything..."
"But...but...Tong Enie's private property was given to Fourth Brother..."
The Fourteenth Prince said.
Has my sister become stupid from reading so much?
This is not the place for aloofness.
Isn't it normal for the Queen Mother to personally raise a grandson and a granddaughter and divide her private property into two and leave them to her two grandchildren?
Jiugege still shook her head and said, "What you said is not a serious matter. There is no such thing as this..."
As she spoke, she looked at the Fourteenth Prince, worried, and said, "Why are you so fussy? Is it because you don't have enough money to spend? I heard that the Empress gave you all the tributes that the Wuya family sent to the palace in the past two years. Where did you spend the money?"
The Fourteenth Prince is now half grown up, and is most likely to be bewitched and learn bad things.
Jiugege planned to ask someone to find out if the people around him were fooling him.
The Fourteenth Prince looked stiff and said, "The Wuya family only has a few silver coins, which are not enough to reward the servants on weekdays..."
At this point, he was moved, coughed lightly, and said, "If sister is free, can you give me some money first?"
After hearing this, Jiugege felt a little embarrassed.
This was the first time my younger brother had spoken, and I should have agreed readily, but I was afraid that the Fourteenth Prince would not learn his lesson.
When Fourteenth Prince saw her hesitation, his face turned a little ugly.
He was not short of money, he just wanted to find an excuse to get back together with his sister.
This give and take relationship becomes closer.
The Tong family is not just the Fourth Prince’s in-laws.
I didn’t expect Jiugege to react like this.
Seeing his grim expression, Jiu Gege sighed inwardly and asked, "How much will it cost?"
The Fourteenth Prince lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said, "Twenty thousand taels..."
Jiugege: “…”
What would a bald prince who doesn't have his own palace need so much silver for?
Jiugege was puzzled, but she couldn't ask any more questions. She nodded and said, "I'll write you a note and ask someone to go to the bank to withdraw the money!"
Her dowry included, in addition to the official residence in the imperial city that collected rent, a pawnshop and a money house.
I haven't spent any money in the past few years, so I'm still relatively wealthy on paper...
"Thank you sister..."
The Fourteenth Prince got what he wanted and a smile appeared on his face.
This changeable look made Jiugege even more unsure.
Where should I spend this money?

In Taoyuan Book House, the Crown Prince was waiting for the Crown Princess.
The Crown Princess concealed her dullness.
Her consideration was not for the prince's advice, but for the relationship between her and the empress dowager as grandparents and grandchildren.
Replace sincerity with sincerity.
Even if the prince didn't tell her to, she would still go and deliver the gift.
Unfortunately, the prince didn't know.
"Has Old Ten gone?"
This is what the prince is concerned about.
Whether it's the Fifth Prince or the Ninth Prince, you don't need to care too much.
However, the actions of the Tenth Prince easily make people think too much.
The Niuhuru family is now quiet and has withdrawn from the Imperial Guard. The two chief secretaries in the Khatun Prince's Palace are both members of the Niuhuru family.
Among the palace guards there were also descendants and in-laws of the Niuhulu family.
The Crown Princess shook her head and said, "No, there are only the Fifth Prince, the Ninth Prince and the Eighteenth Prince..."
As for the eldest prince of Prince Dun’s Mansion, the Crown Princess did not mention it.
Whether brothers are wary of each other or wary of each other, it is enough to just fight among themselves. There is no need to turn your attention to the younger generation.
The prince was not surprised and said, "The Tenth Prince is a smart man..."
The more this is the case, the more we have to guard against the Tenth Prince taking advantage of the situation.
The Ninth Prince is a sincere man without any ulterior motives, while the Fifth Prince is protective of his people.
If the Tenth Prince really had any intentions, the forces behind him, one after another, would be a considerable force.
The Crown Princess had a headache.
The Tenth Prince has already retreated to this point, and we still keep focusing on him, isn't that bullying?
What's the point?
The Crown Princess looked at the Crown Prince with a bit more bewilderment.
If she can understand this truth, why can't the prince understand it?
What does the prince want to do?
When the Crown Princess left, the Crown Prince had a look of sneer on his face.
He looked in the direction of Qingxi Bookstore.
Khan Ama supported the eldest prince, wanting him to fight against himself and limit his power as the crown prince.
But he forgot that if there is one, there will be two...
If he showed his instability, there would be more than one prince who would develop ambitions.
If everyone starts fighting and brothers become enemies, what will the emperor think?
Why should I be the only target?
By then, the one who will be criticized will not be just me, the prince...

The empress dowager's carriage was very spacious, so she stayed with Shushu, Guaerjia, and her two great-granddaughters.
Niguzhu sat next to the Queen Mother and said, "Mother Wuku, I'll catch a chicken for you and we can roast it. The birds in the garden can't be roasted and eaten, but the chicken is fine..."
The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Okay, then let's roast the chicken."
Niguzhu smiled and nodded, then looked at Shushu, then at Guaerjia, and his little face became more thoughtful.
Shushu couldn't help but look at Niguzhu's short legs. It was not so easy to catch a chicken.
The chaotic situation is a description, not an exaggeration.
There are big geese on the farm, and Shushu plans to ask someone to release two of them so that the children can see what a "bully" is.
Guaerjia was also surprised to hear Niguzhu's chattering.
I always thought that children of this age were still confused, but I didn't expect them to be like little adults.
Niguzhu, who was like a little adult, looked at his delicate cousin again, then lowered his head to look at himself, raised his head and asked the Queen Mother: "Mother Wuku, do I look good?"
"She's pretty, a pretty girl..."
The Queen Mother looked at Niguzhu and said lovingly.
Shushu was standing next to them, feeling a little embarrassed.
The Queen Mother has Mongolian aesthetic.
Beauty lies in being strong and firm.
Should I prepare a small mirror for Niguzhu?
This big fat face and small eyes, this praise is a bit subjective.
Niguzhu said: "Beautiful birds are precious. You can only look at them, not eat them. The ugly chickens and ducks will be eaten."
Queen Mother: "..."
Some of them couldn't keep up the conversation.
As the little girl spoke, she realized the unfairness and suddenly felt that the chicken was no longer fragrant...
