Chapter 135 A Big Heart
Lady Tongjia couldn't truly understand her husband's anxieties, but she knew that if her youngest son could catch the eye of Prince Chenghu, his future career, whether as an official or doing something else, would be much easier than for others.
No one understands better than these people what the title of eldest son of the legitimate wife represents.
"yes."
Gabula also instructed his wife, after all, the relationship between the six brothers was such that they couldn't be too biased towards the third brother in some matters, otherwise they didn't know how many complaints they would have in the long run.
"Just bring this up, let the Empress make the decision, and remember not to let your younger siblings worry."
Previously, when his fourth and fifth brothers approached him about the Chenghu Haha Beads, he did not agree on the spot, but only said that he would ask the Empress.
Previously, due to certain events, it was inconvenient to transmit messages within the palace.
Now that he had the opportunity, he naturally had to inform the Empress of the news from outside.
"Alright, I'll remember that. But Changhai has also enrolled. The Empress said last time that Changhai should pretend to be sick. My lord, if this continues, Changhai's reputation will be ruined."
Borjigit's wife was puzzled by her daughter's arrangement, and felt very sorry for her youngest son who did not leave the mansion all day.
Gabula sighed, "The Empress is absolutely right. The Emperor is increasingly favoring our third brother, and his attitude towards our family is unclear. Changhai should just stay home and study."
Anyway, he's just pretending to be sick in public, not really sick, and he likes reading, so it's fine for him to stay home and read.
The teachers he hired were also quite good; although not as good as those at the Royal Academy, they were all top-notch scholars.
When Changhai gets a little older, let him go out and travel. As the Empress said, "Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles."
Since the Empress has made arrangements for the brothers, and he, as their father, is incompetent, he should simply listen to her.
Borjigit's wife was also aware of this situation, and seeing her third brother step by step into the inner chambers, she naturally felt envious.
But his own master was placed in that position by the emperor and never moved, having only the title but no real power.
If their daughter weren't still firmly seated on the Empress's throne, countless people would laugh at their family.
"Okay, I've got it."
Borjigit's wife felt sorry for the child. "My lord, when you have time, you should spend more time with Changhai, so that he won't feel resentful."
Seeing the wife's words, Gabula knew that those in the backyard were making sarcastic remarks again.
"Yes, I've got it."
Thinking of those troublemakers, Gabula felt an urge to kill them, but he couldn't, because they were bestowed upon him by the Empress Dowager.
He hated it, but he also knew the Empress Dowager's intention in doing so.
If his wife hadn't come from the Borjigit clan, he probably would have had a different wife by now.

When Fanghua met with her family, she saw that both her fifth and sixth aunts were accompanied by a little girl.
She knew what they meant without even thinking about it.
So she asked whose princess it was, and when she learned that it was the niece of her two aunts, she couldn't stop smiling.
They're using her, the empress, as a stepping stone. Who gave them the audacity?
After exchanging a few words, Fanghua ruthlessly had them taken to the banquet hall in the Qianqing Palace. They wanted to get close to the Emperor, so she gave them this opportunity.
There must be quite a few people waiting in the Qianqing Palace.
"Your Majesty." Borjigit's wife was also very annoyed. She only learned of their intentions after entering the palace.
Before entering the palace, she would have easily sent people away, so as not to offend her own empress.
"It's alright. It's normal for people to strive for higher positions. I've given them the opportunity; whether they get it or not is up to their fate." Fanghua never considered herself a good person.
"Let's not talk about them. Mother, Third Aunt, Fourth Aunt, how are you all doing lately? How's everything at home?" It's been a while since I've heard any news from outside. I'd rather spend my time talking to my loved ones than worrying about those who are so carefree.
This was not the first time that Consort Gorkun had met the Empress, but this was the first time she had shown such concern.
She knew that what her master had told her was true; the Empress really wanted her family to do things for her.
That's good. After all, she has a son and naturally hopes to be valued by the Empress so that she can secure a good future.
"Your Majesty, everything is fine at home." Perhaps she was too nervous, because she actually answered before Borjigit Fujin could.
After she finished speaking, she realized something was wrong and felt very uneasy.
When Borjigit's wife and Tongjia's wife saw her like this, they exchanged a glance and smiled at each other.
However, they did not interrupt Consort Ke'erkun, leaving the decision to the Empress.
Fanghua smiled and looked at her fourth aunt without any concern. "That's good. I can only be good in the palace if the family is doing well. With you all taking care of me, I'm sure my uncles and children are all doing very well." Fanghua praised her sincerely.
Now, the still somewhat nervous Consort Ke'erkun relaxed, as long as the Empress was not angry.
"Your Majesty is too kind; it's all thanks to Your Majesty's excellent leadership."
Regardless of whether this is true or not, the person who hears it is definitely happy.
Seeing that her fourth aunt was so sensible, Fanghua took her into her protective circle.
"I dare not accept such credit. If I remember correctly, Fourth Uncle is now a third-rank guard. I wonder if Fourth Uncle would like to change places. Of course, I was just saying this casually. Fourth Aunt should ask him when she gets home."
His fourth uncle had spent his entire life stuck as a third-rank imperial guard. He had no noble title or high-ranking official position, but because he belonged to the Imperial Guard, he still had some prestige.
However, compared to his background, it was indeed rather low.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I have remembered this. I will definitely go back and convey Her Majesty's words to Your Majesty."
Fanghua waved her hand, feeling more and more that her fourth uncle was a good candidate. "Alright, then I'll wait for your good news, Fourth Aunt."
She didn't say which department of the Six Ministries she would be assigned to, but she believed that her fourth uncle would definitely be willing to leave the Imperial Guard.
To put it nicely, he was the emperor's personal bodyguard, but in reality, he was just a bodyguard, and he couldn't compare to Suo'etu at all.
It would be a lie to say I'm not envious or jealous.
They are all descendants of Sony, so why are they being treated this way?
People never reflect on themselves, and of course, it cannot be ruled out that the emperor's arrangements for the Hesheli family were intentional.
Besides Suo'etu, even her own father was a Minister of the Imperial Guard. Her fourth uncle, who was close to her father, didn't even have a title, while her fifth and sixth uncles, who were less close to her father, both had titles.
One was already a first-class earl, and the other was a first-class duke.
It's hard to say whether Kangxi was particularly generous to them; it might have been a reprimand for Suo'etu or her.
In any case, she never understood why Emperor Kangxi and the Empress Dowager treated her Hesheli family this way, even in both her lifetimes.
If they won't give it to her, she'll just take it.
In any case, she would never allow her family to decline, nor would she allow her children to be without a mother or clan to rely on.
The fact that Suo'etu fought Mingzhu to the death in the previous dynasty was all intentionally orchestrated by Kangxi. He promoted Yinzhi to prevent Yinreng from seizing his imperial power.
They say they're grooming him as a stepping stone for the crown prince, haha, they'll actually kill him in the end.
They've really done a great job raising them.
