Ninth Prince's Mansion, back building.

Brother Jiu held Shu Shu in his arms and sighed.

I finally got it, it was really not easy.

Although the couple lived in the same room these days, they shared separate beds.

The beddings in the middle are next to each other, but they are just next to each other. The most they can do is hold hands.

Shu Shu felt uncomfortable because she didn't take a shower before, and she didn't like to be close to others.

Brother Jiu understood Shu Shu's irritability and did not bother her.

Today is different.

It's just that I'm really thin, and my back is hurting. Brother Jiu feels very distressed, and he's already thinking about finding some good food.

Shu Shu also hugged Brother Jiu back.

Not only did I take a bath today, but I also changed my bedding and everything.

Shu Shu felt that she had come to life and was no longer resistant to being close to others.

It's just that she is still in her second trimester, so the couple can only hug each other.

Listening to each other's heartbeats changing from intense to gentle, they then fell into a good sleep.

A night of silence.

Early the next morning, Brother Jiu woke up early.

He still wants to go to the palace.

He came out quietly and went to the main room to freshen up without waking his wife.

However, Shu Shu woke up half an hour later, because she was hungry.

Seeing that it was right, she got up.

Every time the Holy Emperor returns to the palace from Changchun Garden, he always rushes to the palace early in the morning. When the city gate is just opened, he is so alert and does not disturb the people.

The holy team should be arriving in the capital soon now.

Shu Shu simply freshened up and didn't ask for a meal. Instead, she drank a cup of milk tea and had breakfast together when Jiu Gege arrived.

What does Jiugege like to eat?

He doesn't seem to attach much importance to food and has no obvious preferences.

Shu Shu asked Walnut to pass on the message, make a plate of egg pancakes, and then make milk stewed eggs and sweet and sour poached eggs.

The children in the palace love to eat eggs.

Girls, you can’t go wrong with dessert.

Then she said to Xiaochun: "Go to the door to greet me..."

Don't come here too early, because it won't be easy to send messages inside.

Xiaochun and Walnut both responded.

Ging Guo took a brochure and came over from the west.

Shu Shu took it and looked at it. This was the night watch record.

There are records of when the children woke up, when they nursed, and how many times they cried.

Shu Shu looked at it carefully and frowned.

If one child cries, the other two will be woken up.

There is no way around this.

That was all before, the kids were sleeping most of the time.

In the future, this sleeping time will be gradually reduced, and the impact on each other will be greater.

In order for the three children to have a better rest, they still have to share rooms.

In the back room, when she moves out, she can have one in the east room and one in the west. There are three halls in between, and the sound can be blocked by lowering the curtains.

In this case, there will be one more.

If you want to move it, you can only move it by a big grid.

Otherwise, if you move the second elder brother out and take him with you, it will easily leave hidden dangers.

The eldest brother and the second brother have different futures, but they are still treated equally by their parents since childhood.

Also, Shu Shu doesn't want to challenge his own humanity. If he keeps his second son with him, he will be biased if things go on for a long time, and the whole family will be uneasy.

Shu Shu had previously thought of sending Da Gege to Ning'an Hall when she was one year old, and this is her plan now.

Then we need to ask people to tidy up the west wing of the main courtyard and move the big lattice to the main courtyard.

Just as she was thinking, there was movement outside.

It’s Jiugege’s arrival.

Just as Shu Shu was worried, Jiugege's carriage had been parked at the door for half a quarter of an hour.

She had only thought about coming to visit Shu Shu before, and had forgotten about the time. As a result, she arrived so early, so she couldn't help but hesitate.

It wasn't until Xiao Chun came out that Jiu Gege got off the carriage and followed him in.

Shu Shu stood up and went to the door to greet him.

Seeing this, Jiu Gege hurriedly said: "Come into the house quickly..."

Shu Shu didn't move. She waited until she took Jiu Gege's hand and then said, "It's already summer, where does it get cold?"

Jiu Gege shook Shu Shu's hand and said, "Sister-in-law's hands are cold..."

Shu Shu smiled and said: "This is a beauty, cool and sweat-free!"

My sister-in-law entered the East Room and sat on the Kang. Walnut brought tea to the table.

Shu Shu poured her a cup of tea, pushed it over, and said, "I'm waiting for you to come over for breakfast..."

Jiu Gege smiled and said, "I used some before I came out of the garden."

Shu Shu said: "Then come and have a few more bites with me."

Jiu Gege nodded, looked at Shu Shu's face, put away the smile on his face, and showed worry.

Shu Shu touched her face and said: "Now I eat five meals a day, and I will make up for it soon."

Jiu Gege lowered her eyes, looked at the cup in her hand, and said: "I heard that there are some ladies outside who are very virtuous. When their legitimate sons and daughters grow up, they will take the initiative to arrange concubines for their husbands and have a common room with each other..."

So couples can’t stay together for a long time, right?

After having a legitimate son and daughter, is it okay to skip the part of giving birth and let others live?

Shu Shu glanced at Jiu Gege and said: "If someone says these nonsense in front of my sister, I can just ask the girl to spit on her. My sister is a golden branch and a jade leaf. I will not let my sister control the important affairs of the court, but living at home is not a good thing."

I come according to my sister’s wishes, no matter what is virtuous or not, when I get to the princess’s house, the hierarchy is reversed. If anyone is virtuous, it will be my brother-in-law who is virtuous..."

After hearing this, Jiu Gege burst into laughter.

Shu Shu knew Jiu Gege's uneasiness.

I can only say that the current system in the palace is too weird.

Whether it is a prince's wedding or a princess's wedding, a trial marriage of palace maids must be arranged, also called "trial marriage princess".

In the prince's case, the trial marriage princess directly became the palace maiden in the prince's name and became one of the prince's inner stories.

The one who was tricked was the prince's direct descendant, Fujin.

If it means that the day of the palace maid is close to the wedding day, it doesn't matter; if it's like the fifth elder brother and the seventh elder brother, there is a gap of two years from the wedding, and those who have children there will have to wait for a long time.

If the relationship is over, a good first-in-law will go over and become a cheap mother-in-law, making it like a step-wife filling the house.

Let’s not talk about others, just say that whether it is Yuqing Palace or several princes’ palaces, the favorites who gave birth to the eldest son of a concubine are all the maids in trial marriages.

For women, the first man is different; for men, the same is true, after all, there is more pity.

After arriving at the princess's place, when the wedding date was decided, the "trial marriage princess" was also carried to the princess's mansion along with the princess's dowry.

That night, this "Trial Marriage Princess" will have the wedding ceremony with her husband-in-law on behalf of the princess, and then check whether the relationship between the husband-in-law and the bed is normal, whether there are any hidden diseases, and what her temperament is like.

The next day, this "Trial Marriage Princess" returned to the palace and described the condition of her husband-in-law to the princess's elders.

Shu Shushi didn't know how to comfort Jiu Gege.

The formation of any system has causes and consequences.

The court system of the Qing Dynasty was mostly inherited from the Ming Dynasty, or improved upon the Ming Dynasty system.

For members of the royal family, this can avoid choosing a prince-in-law with hidden diseases.

As for the trial marriage Gege, as a dowry for the princess, she will be married off and become one of the concubines of her husband-in-law.

Shu Shu looked at Jiu Gege and said: "Everyone's life is lived by themselves. What kind of life do you want? My sister has to make her own decision. Should she save her elders' worries, save herself, or others?"
