After the marriage, the cousin was spoiled by the whole family of the Marquis's Mansion

Chapter 89 Brothers are fighting against each other
When His Majesty heard the word "Prince Qing", he became furious.

He started to have a headache when he thought of Zhuang Kexing's memorial on the table. "This Zhuang Kexing, Zhuang Kexing, he is really my nemesis!"

Eunuch Cao naturally knew how angry His Majesty was with Zhuang Kexing.

Lord Zhuang was originally a minister promoted to the cabinet by the late emperor. He was a man who spoke his mind.

Lord Qin and Lord Zhuang are both capable censors and ministers left to Your Majesty by the late Emperor.

Your Majesty could not hold back his anger and exiled Prime Minister Qin, whose life or death is still unknown.

Now only Lord Zhuang is left, who has been demoted again and again and has now taken his seat in the Censorate.

Your Majesty also knows that if Zhuang Kexing is killed, no one in this court will speak the truth anymore.

Eunuch Cao tried to comfort him, "Lord Zhuang is also doing this for the country. Look at the court, who dares to associate with Lord Zhuang? Aren't they afraid that they will be implicated in your anger?"

His Majesty said unhappily, "Zhuang Kexing must have worn out all those old memorials he wrote every day!"

"No matter how many mistakes Prince Qing made, I have already punished him. He has no power and no soldiers, and he just took advantage of the situation. I have already punished him, so why does he keep nagging me again and again?"

"Prince Qing loves money so much, but it's just because he and I suffered together when we were young. I can understand this little thing!"

There were two wooden carts on the ice. Prince Meng Yucheng of Qing was holding the three-year-old Seventh Prince in his arms, laughing so hard that he asked the eunuch pulling the cart in front to go faster.

The Sixth Prince at the back was also seven years old. He was holding the handle of the cart by himself, and was eager to catch up with them.

The children's laughter broke through the cold and silent sky of the imperial city.

His Majesty watched from afar, and finally sighed, "Forget it, forget it. Whether it's Zhuang Kexing or Prince Qing, I'm still responsible for them all. I can't worry about any of them."

On the way back, His Majesty seemed to be in a better mood.

Eunuch Cao was thinking about the silver that Concubine Xian had given him the day before. Now that His Majesty was in a good mood, it should be a good time.

"Your Majesty, I met the virtuous concubine the other day. She asked the palace maids to pick a lot of plum blossoms, saying that the plum blossoms are in full bloom now, so she made some plum blossom cakes and sent them to you in due time. Then I can enjoy the treat."

His Majesty glanced at Eunuch Cao and asked, "Are you thinking about Concubine Xian's plum blossom cake or Concubine Xian's money?"

Eunuch Cao chuckled and said, "Of course it's the Queen's plum blossom cake."

Eunuch Cao has a scale in his heart. He naturally has a measure of what kind of money he can accept and what kind of money he cannot accept.

His Majesty rubbed his slightly cool palms and said, "Alright, let's go. I didn't get to eat Concubine Xian's plum blossom cake last year, so let's go and try some this year."

Eunuch Cao narrowed his eyes and smiled. The virtuous concubine was generous this time and got the job done, so he could accept the money with confidence.

When His Majesty was still Prince Su, the Empress Xianfei was the concubine in the palace and could be considered as His Majesty's childhood sweetheart.

Although Concubine Xian's appearance has aged and she cannot compare to the most beautiful imperial concubine, the friendship they have with her is unmatched by anyone.

The snow on the palace road had been swept clean. The virtuous concubine's bedroom was a little farther away than the noble concubine's Hanyuan Hall.

His Majesty was not riding in a sedan chair. It had been a long time since he had walked so slowly like this.

He has been walking here for decades, and this imperial city seems to have been integrated into his bones and blood.

Be it the brotherly rivalry in youth or the thorny road to the throne.

There is a small door at the corner, and it seems that someone is chatting behind the door.

"This is a quarrel between brothers!"

Eunuch Cao was about to step forward and scold him, but was stopped by His Majesty.

There were two young voices behind, and they didn't sound like eunuchs but more like two guards.

The other person lowered his voice, "Keep your voice down, do you want people to know that we are slacking off here?!"

The man spoke in a lower voice, "Commander Ji didn't give me leave, so I came here because I was bored."

"I am the youngest in the family. I didn't care about my elder and second brothers trying to earn money. But that day, even though my uncle came to our house to bully us, they hid away and didn't come out."

The other person hummed twice, then reacted, "Your uncle came to visit? What does this have to do with your uncle?" The man's voice became depressed, "My eldest brother was born to my ex-wife, and my second brother and I are brothers. Logically, my uncle came to visit to help my second brother, but I got slapped twice by my uncle, and they didn't even bother to show their heads. They just sent two servants to yell!"

"I just found out yesterday that it was my second brother who deliberately asked my uncle to come over. He wanted to accuse me of disrespecting my elders and then he would accuse my eldest brother of not serving his mother."

The other person clicked his tongue twice, "You, the second brother, are really cunning. You don't care about the brotherhood when you have so much wealth."

The human voice came again, "Although the shops under my father's name are diverse, they provide food, clothing, housing and transportation, which can be said to cover people's livelihood."

Another person exclaimed, "You are so rich, don't you want to earn some more money? Go home and be rich, why bother working so hard here!"

The man sighed again, "I don't know how to run a business. If I make money, I'll just squander it. It's better to give it to my big brother who knows how to run a business."

It seemed that someone at the other end of the passage noticed the two people's laziness.

"What are you two doing here? Commander Ji is calling the roll for training!"

After a slight rustling sound, there was the sound of the saber hitting the wall, "Quick! Here it comes!"

His Majesty stood on the palace road, his eyes dark and unclear.

Eunuch Cao looked at His Majesty carefully, "Your Majesty, it's just some family affairs of the little guard..."

"Do you want me to find those two lazy people?"

His Majesty's face darkened slightly, and he waved his hand, "No need."

He glanced at the Xianfei Palace not far away, and waved to Eunuch Cao, "Go to the Xianfei Palace to get some plum blossom cakes. I'm tired, I'll go back to the palace first."

Eunuch Cao, "I will go and get you a carriage!"

His Majesty slowly raised his feet and said, "I will walk by myself."

-

Ji Yunzhang looked at the two people who had returned, and raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Have you vented all your anger?"

The little guard who was troubled by the family nodded, "It's much easier to talk about it."

Another person also said, "General, we are good friends. I won't talk about his affairs carelessly."

The annoying little guard shook his head, "It's okay, it's just trivial matters anyway, I've made up my mind to ignore it!"

Ji Yunzhang waved his hand and the two hurried back to the team.

He looked at the neatly-organized team, but what the young lady said that day came to his mind.

——"You must ensure that no link is lost in order to close the loop perfectly."

——"How can I not fall off?"

He learned from the Crown Prince that when His Majesty was still Prince Su, he had one principal wife, two concubines, and only the virtuous concubine was by his side.

The plum blossom cake of Concubine Xian is her most famous dessert.

So when the virtuous concubine and the palace maid left the palace, he deliberately said that His Majesty was not satisfied with the plum blossom cakes in the imperial kitchen.

The virtuous concubine would naturally bribe Eunuch Cao to speak well of her in front of His Majesty.

All he had to do was observe, and if His Majesty walked towards the palace road leading to the virtuous concubine, he would deliberately remind the little guard of some trouble.

Then let them go to a less crowded alley to complain.

He walked these routes many times, even counting his steps, just so that His Majesty could 'coincidentally' run into the gossiping guards.

——"What if Your Majesty does not follow the established route?"

——"Then let's stage a quarrel between brothers in front of His Majesty."
