Chapter 108 Concubine Yi's Persuasion
After the Ninth and Tenth Brothers had exchanged greetings with Concubine Yi, Concubine Yi's expression immediately changed. She gritted her teeth, grabbed the Ninth Brother's ear and started scolding him!
Concubine Yi's eyes widened with anger, venting all the worries in her heart! That furious look was completely different from the gentle look she had just seen. If you didn't know, you would think they were twins. They were completely different people!
Concubine Yi: "Old Nine, you are getting bold, aren't you? I won't hold you accountable for what happened when you were away from home. After all, I understand that there are things that cannot be done when the army is away from home. You ignored the letter I wrote, I can forgive you for that, but who gave you the courage to contradict your father? Do you really want to piss me off to death?"
The Ninth Brother was grabbed by the ear by Concubine Yi and screamed loudly. He kept making faces at the Tenth Brother and the Fifth Brother, hoping that they would come to save him. However, he didn't expect that these two people were so tasteless that they just sat aside and watched the show. Not only did they watch the show, but they also watched the show while drinking tea and eating snacks. The Ninth Brother cursed them in his heart. There was no other way, the Ninth Brother could only go on the stage himself, after all, she was his own mother.
Lao Jiu cried out with a face full of misery, "It hurts... it hurts, it hurts, mother, my ears are about to fall off, mother, it hurts, please let go, please let go, I brought you so many good things this time, mother, please let go! My ears are really about to fall off!"
Did Concubine Yi still feel sorry for her son? Seeing its ears turn red, she gladly let go. But even so, Concubine Yi still didn't give him a good look. This time, Concubine Yi not only scolded her own son, but also scolded the tenth son!
Concubine Yi stood directly in the middle of the hall, pointed at the ninth and tenth brothers, and started scolding them!
Concubine Yi: "You deserve it, I'm going to hurt you to death. You've saved me from having to worry about you all day long. What sin did I commit to give birth to such an evil creature like you? You've never made me happy since you were little. And you, Old Ten..., what are you laughing at? Don't think that I won't scold you just because you're not my child, right? Old Ten, I've treated you well over the years, haven't I? This is how you repay me. I don't ask for much ability from you two, I just hope that you two can have smooth sailing. I'm begging you two, can you please give me a chance to survive? Don't make me worry about you two all day long. Look at how many white hairs I have in the past few months, all because of worrying about you two brats!"
When the Tenth Master heard what Concubine Yi said, he immediately put away the smile on his face and looked at Concubine Yi with apology. Before the Tenth Master could say anything, Concubine Yi suddenly said earnestly: "Teacher, although you are not my child, I promised your mother at her bedside that I would take care of you as her own son in the future. I don't ask you to treat me as your own mother, but please don't make me too embarrassed to see your mother after a hundred years!"
Concubine Yi suddenly showed weakness, and Lao Jiu immediately hugged his mother distressed and coaxed her. Lao Jiu showed a flattering smile and said, "Mother, look at what you said. My mother is young, where did the white hair come from? Mother, don't worry! My teacher and I will not get involved in the dispute between the eldest brother and the prince! We are not interested in this, not only us, but also the fifth brother and the eighth brother. We are not interested at all! So don't worry!"
Concubine Yi looked at her son's flattering smile and was so angry that she stretched out a finger and poked Lao Jiu's forehead fiercely. She said with a look of disappointment: "How dare you say that? Among you guys, I am most worried about you. Can you have some sense of propriety? Why do you want to get involved in your brother's affairs? You two know that Manchus and Han people cannot intermarry, but you two still want to get involved. Are you two stupid?"
When the ninth son heard what his mother said, he frowned in dissatisfaction. While helping his mother sit down, he said dissatisfiedly: "Mother..., what you said makes me unhappy. Originally, there was a problem that the Manchus and the Han people could not intermarry. This matter cannot be blamed on the Eighth Brother. You are in the palace. Haven't you seen that there are many Manchu-Han intermarriages outside? Why can't it be allowed for the Eighth Brother? Isn't this too aggrieved?"
Concubine Yi slapped away Lao Jiu's hand with an unhappy look on her face, and sat on the high seat looking at Lao Jiu and the other three, saying with a look of regret: "Do you think that I really don't know what's going on outside the palace just because I stay in this palace all day? I'm not that blind and deaf. I know as much about things outside the palace as you do. Go and check for yourself, how many of those who want to intermarry between the Manchus and the Han people can have a good ending? The slightly better ones are just concubines! There are many serious cases where the Yin and Yang are separated, and even two lives are lost. This matter is not as simple as you think. I don't let you get involved because it's for your own good! I know you have a good relationship with your brother, but this is not an excuse for me to watch you fall into the trap!"
Concubine Yi looked at the expressionless faces of the Ninth and Tenth Princes and knew that they were unhappy. If he was unhappy at normal times, he would not have said this. After all, the Eighth Prince was sincere to the Tenth and Ninth Princes. Plus, Concubine Liang was a sensible and easy to get along with, and there was no dirty tricks between him and her, so he was unwilling to destroy their brotherly relationship. But this time was different. With her sensitive nerves, she knew that the Emperor would never compromise this time. You know, this was not a simple matter. Manchus and the Han people did not intermarry. This was a rule that had been set for a long time. The rules set by our ancestors were not so easy to change!
Concubine Yi sighed lightly, and once again said earnestly: "Ninth Brother, Tenth Brother, this time it is really not your turn to be yours. We can't and shouldn't interfere with Eighth Brother's affairs! There are too many frustrations behind you. I hope you two can be more mature and don't be confused!"
The Ninth and Tenth Brothers frowned and sat in their seats, still not saying a word. They naturally understood that Concubine Yi was doing this for their own good, but they just couldn't get over the fact that they had to watch their Big Brother fight alone. They really couldn't get over that hurdle!
The fifth brother also chimed in, "Ninth, Tenth, Eighth, this is not a family matter, but a matter of the previous dynasty. This matter is not only up to the emperor, but also involves the clans! You two should go and persuade Eighth in private, right? If you really can't let it go, just keep her on the farm, or give her a position as a princess!"
