Chapter 267: Startling by Each Step 9 (4)
Yinzhen could naturally feel the estrangement in his relationship with the eighth and tenth brothers, but he couldn't have his cake and eat it too.
If he had to choose between his eighth brother, tenth brother and the emperor, he would definitely choose his eighth brother and tenth brother without hesitation. But if he had to choose between his future wife and his brothers...Yinzhen would decisively choose his wife!
What Lingrong was betting on was Yinzhen's sense of responsibility and loyalty.
Not to mention that they were childhood sweethearts, Yinzhen had been treating Lingrong well for so many years, and it had become a habit for him to be kind to her. Moreover, although they were not married yet, Lingrong had subtly brainwashed him since he was a child, believing that the only person who would accompany him through thick and thin and never leave him for the rest of his life would be his wife!
Brothers will have their own families after they get married. You can see from the brothers who got married before him that the eldest brother would secretly give in to the second brother, who had been his mortal enemy since childhood, because of his eldest sister-in-law who was in poor health. This was because the second brother gave the eldest sister-in-law medicine to stabilize her body when she was about to die from weakness after giving birth to five children in succession.
In the past, no matter how much Kangxi, his father, tried to persuade him, it was useless. The eldest brother and the second brother, the crown prince, were determined to fight to the death. Both gangs wanted to beat each other black and blue. But since the second brother gave the eldest sister-in-law the life-saving medicine, the eldest brother, except for occasionally arguing with the second brother, actually stopped making things difficult for him in private.
Even the most honest and straightforward Prince Zhi can make the choice easily. Yinzhen thinks he is much smarter than his honest and straightforward elder brother, and he can only do better than his elder brother!
When Yinzhen said this, Lingrong made him a purse as a reward.
Yinzhen was so happy that he was so excited that he secretly vowed to treat his wife better in the future.
Moreover, although the relationship with his eighth brother and tenth brother became a little distant, Yinzhen's relationship with his fiancée became better, so it was not completely without other gains.
For example, during this period, his relationship with his fifth brother and eleventh brother made rapid progress.
As for the fifth brother, as the oldest brother, he always wanted to take care of his biological brothers. But he used to suffer because the ninth brother always hung out with the eighth and tenth brothers and never listened to his biological eldest brother. Even if the fifth brother wanted to keep in touch with the ninth brother, he had to see if his ninth brother was available.
But now it is different. Since the ninth brother got a "child bride", he seems to have suddenly become sensible. He no longer gets into trouble with the tenth brother all day long, and no longer chases after the eighth brother all day long to be someone else's younger brother. He suddenly knows how to care about his fellow brother, the eleventh brother, who is closer to him.
From then on, the fifth and ninth brothers often met at Eleven's place. The two brothers chattered about medical books, and he could adapt well even if he couldn't get a word in.
Anyway, his Chinese is not very good, so no matter what others say, as long as they speak faster, it sounds like bird talk to Wu Ye, and he is used to it.
Moreover, as the ninth brother grew sensible, he would not run away impatiently when he said some instructions, which made the fifth master very happy. He finally had some dignity as a brother. Especially when compared with the resentful brother combination on the opposite side, the fourth brother and the still naughty fourteenth brother, the fifth master was even more satisfied.
Fortunately, Yinzhen didn't know what his fifth brother was thinking, otherwise he would definitely complain in his heart, "I'm too young and I don't have my own power. Can I expect you to help me find more medical experts? Otherwise, who would be willing to listen to you?"
Well--
It is better to let such an unpleasant truth remain unknown.
The fifth brother was relieved that his ninth brother was finally not so naughty anymore. Although he still loved to make trouble, fortunately he could listen to his older brother and knew how to be friendly to his younger brother. He was satisfied.
Little Eleven was very happy. Children always loved to be lively and were happy to join the older children. But Eleven's health was not good, and Concubine Yi did not allow him to go out and fool around easily, fearing that he would get hurt.
The princes of his age, those in their eighties and nineties, formed a small group of their own. The twelve formed their own group because they were raised by Su Malagu herself. The thirteenth and fourteenth formed a group because the thirteenth's mother lived in the palace of Concubine De and they were of similar age. The fifteenth was too young.
For a long time, Xiaoyi was lonely. Because he was weak, everyone wanted to cover him with a glass cover and would not play with him easily.
His fifth brother did care about him, but the time they spent together was not long. When the fifth brother was young, he was raised by the Queen Mother. When he was older, he moved to the eldest brother's house to study. He often visited him and only showed some concern for his health. When the fifth brother got married, he had political affairs to deal with and wives and concubines to love, so he had even less time to care for and talk with the eleventh brother.
Now it was different. Brother Nine not only often brought him delicious food and fun things, but also introduced another patient to him, which made Eleven feel that he was no longer an outlier. Although it was not a good idea to think this way, he was indeed very happy that Sister Nine would become his patient in the future.
Although he was not happy at first when he was forced by his brother to study medicine, as he studied, Xiao Shiyi actually found some fun in it. During this period, his brother would talk to him a lot. Xiao Shiyi liked this kind of interaction very much.
Although Brother Nine is sometimes arrogant and narcissistic, and always brags about what his future sister-in-law has done for him, Little Eleven still likes to listen to him talk. He even finds it fun to argue with Brother Nine. He really likes the liveliness here.
Brother Nine also said that after the future sister-in-law gets married, he can go to her place to eat and drink. The future sister-in-law is kind and has many new things. Maybe by then their bodies can be restored to normal. Even if they don't, it doesn't matter. The three of them can study medicine together, eat good food, and play with new things from the West... Xiao Shiyi is also looking forward to his sister-in-law getting married soon.
Yinzhen studied medicine so hard, largely for his own benefit, and An Lingrong couldn't bear to see him fail to achieve any results. Wouldn't this dampen his enthusiasm for studying medicine?
Therefore, during these two years, she intentionally made her body a little better. Fortunately, the world is so big, Yinzhen is willing to spend money, and he is willing to ask his fifth brother to help him find medical experts everywhere. After such crazy efforts, he really found a few doctors with some skills.
There was no need for the small pills An Lingrong made to strengthen her body. Little Eleven's body actually became stronger after the doctors' efforts. Concubine Yi was so happy that she kept praising Lingrong for the blessing. If it weren't for her, Old Nine wouldn't have gone through so much trouble, and her Little Eleven wouldn't have become so healthy.
