Just as the opening of the outer city commercial district was in full swing, the candidates for the legitimate wives of the Ninth Prince and the Twelfth Prince were also decided.
In this selection, in addition to choosing wives for his two sons, Kangxi also selected some young and beautiful women to expand his harem.
The concubines also each selected a few princesses and sent them to the princes.
Since Yinreng had no mother, Kangxi personally selected several princesses of good family background and sent them to Yuqing Palace.
However, until the end of the audition, there was no news about the candidate for the Tenth Concubine.
At that time, Yinzhen was very busy, but after hearing this, he was stunned for a moment.
When the second brother handed over the glass window business to him, he also mentioned the tenth brother to the emperor and asked him to follow the eldest brother to the military camp outside the capital.
The eldest brother now has a lot of say in the firearms battalion, so it is better for the tenth brother to stay in the barracks than to follow him. After all, the tenth brother knows nothing about business.
His talent in languages is also mediocre.
During the past six months, every time Yinzhen and Yin? met, he felt that the smile on his tenth brother's face was a little wider than usual. He was secretly grateful to his second brother for finding a good place for his tenth brother.
In fact, if the candidate for his twelfth brother's wife had not been decided, Yinzhen would not have felt so unhappy.
The twelfth brother hasn't even come out of the Shangshufang yet, but the emperor has already considered his marriage. However, the tenth brother, who is older, has been ignored by the emperor. What's the reason for this?
Yinzhen was indignant and ran to the Palace of Heavenly Purity that day to seek justice for the Tenth Prince.
However, Kangxi shut him up with one sentence: "This is not something you should worry about!"
When Yinzhen wanted to ask more questions, Kangxi glanced at him expressionlessly, and Yinzhen could not ask anything.
Yinzhen was unhappy and went straight to the Lifanyuan after leaving the Qianqing Palace.
When Yinsi saw him, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
"Ninth brother, why are you here at this time?"
There are a lot of big and small things happening in the commercial district, and you usually don't see Ninth Brother, but today is unusual.
Yin'er walked to Yinsi in a daze and sat down next to him. The first words he said made Yinsi's hair stand on end.
"Eighth brother, is Tenth Brother the Emperor's son?"
When Yinsi heard this, he stood up and rushed to the door in a few steps.
He glanced around like a guilty thief and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that there was no one around.
"Are you going to die? How dare you say such words? If someone hears and tells the Emperor, you will have to stay indoors and reflect on your mistakes for several months at least..."
Yinzhen pursed his lips and said nothing.
Yinsi scolded Yinlu a few times, and seeing that he was in a bad mood, he asked the reason.
"Tell me, what happened? I've never seen you so irrational before."
The ninth brother is a smart and smart person. He says one thing to one person and another thing to another person. He doesn't pretend much only to those who are very close to him. Everything he says and does has a bit of a weird tone.
It is rare to see Ninth Brother in such a depressed mood.
"Today's draft is officially over..."
Yinsi was stunned for a moment, then frowned deeply. What did he have to do with his ninth brother after the selection was over?
wrong!
He slapped his forehead. All he had heard recently was that the Emperor had arranged marriages for his ninth and twelfth brothers.
Could it be related to my tenth brother?
Yinsi frowned and asked tentatively,
"Is it because of the tenth brother?"
Yin'er's eyelids drooped even more.
Seeing this, Yinsi knew that he had guessed right, so he spoke again to comfort her.
"Perhaps it's because none of the noble ladies this time are of a status worthy of Tenth Brother."
Yinzhen sneered,
"If they were really so well-matched, then there wouldn't be a single noblewoman in the capital who could match my second brother and my tenth brother. Why would the Emperor spend so much time cultivating a Yue family for my second brother?"
He used the word "cultivate", and both of them understood the difference between them.
The difference is that the second brother is the emperor's favorite, but the tenth brother is just a neglected grass on the side of the bridge.
Yinsi was silent.
The emperor has so many sons, but which one can compare with my second brother?
There is only a difference of "legitimate" between the tenth brother and the second brother, but the treatment is so different that it makes people feel the gap is too big.
But over the years, the second brother has monopolized 80% of the emperor's favor, and all the other brothers have to compete for the remaining 20%. Everyone has become accustomed to this pattern.
If they didn't have a good relationship with the Tenth Brother, they would probably just be happy to see such a situation.
Yinzhen slumped in the chair, staring blankly at the ceiling.
"It's so strange... My second brother clearly didn't do anything; everything was decided by the Emperor alone. But from the moment I left the Palace of Heavenly Purity, I instinctively started blaming him..."
When Yinsi heard this, his pupils shrank for a moment, and the hand holding the brush clenched unconsciously. He had the same idea.
"But think about it, from the eldest brother to the tenth brother, who among us hasn't received the kindness of the second brother? If it weren't for the second brother speaking up for the tenth brother, he might still be sleeping here right now!"
"Looking at it this way, there's no difference between me and that ungrateful wolf..."
As Yinzhen spoke, he stood up and walked towards the door with a dull look on his face.
Yinsi looked at his back and fell into deep thought.
The facts seemed to be just as Yinzhen said. Every time the emperor made a decision, as long as the beneficiary was the second brother, the brothers would blame him for it.
But my second brother is so innocent.
