After entering the right gate of Guangsheng, you will reach Yikun Gate within a few steps.
Shu Shu brought Walnuts and Xiaosong and did not go in immediately. Instead, they waited for Ba Fujin to move forward before turning around and entering the palace gate.
The two sisters-in-law looked polite and polite, but their expressions were languid, and the girl who was following them was also holding their breath and concentrating.
In Yikun Palace, Concubine Yi was fully dressed and was sitting by the kang looking at the seventeenth and eighteenth elder brothers.
The seventeenth elder brother held two pottery tigers in his hands and was teaching the eighteenth elder brother to speak.
"Tiger, tiger..."
The eighteenth elder brother turned to look at his elder brother, but had no intention of speaking. He sat next to the seventeenth elder brother, motionless.
Brother Seventeen obviously had no choice but to look up at Concubine Yi: "Concubine..."
Concubine Yi smiled and said: "My younger brother is stupid, don't teach me at Qi Qi."
Brother Seventeen shook his head and said: "My brother is not stupid...my brother just doesn't like to talk..."
The eighteenth elder brother has had more than one birthday, and it is the time when he is learning to speak, but he doesn't like to speak.
Seeing Shu Shu come in, the seventeenth elder brother helped the eighteenth elder brother, let him sit down, and then turned over and got off the kang.
"Sister-in-law Ninth..."
We had met him several times in the garden and he already remembered him.
Shu Shu greeted Concubine Yi, and then touched the forehead of Brother Seventeen.
Right now I feel like I'm hairy, I haven't started to grow my hair, and I'm wearing a white jade collar.
In the past, Brother Seventeen didn't wear these very much.
When the nanny took the seventeenth and eighteenth brothers down, Concubine Yi's face showed reluctance.
Shu Shu said: "Is the Empress worried about Seventeenth Brother's vaccination? The Prince's vaccination will definitely be prepared with 'ripe seedlings' at the Imperial Hospital. It will be safe. Don't worry."
Yifei nodded and said, "Well, if it weren't for the preparations, Taiyuan Hospital wouldn't dare to choose a date. It's just a waste of worry."
Shu Shu thought about her visit to Wubeile Mansion two days ago and the farewell to Princess Kejing.
The princess also entered the palace yesterday, but the mother and daughter did not have long time to talk.
As for Wufujin, even if Concubine Yi was concerned about it, it would be hard for her to send people to visit frequently.
Shu Shu said: "Fifth Sister-in-law has made all preparations. In addition to preparing Fifth Sister-in-law Enie to accompany the childbirth, the Imperial Grandmother has also sent Nanny over."
Concubine Yi said: "It will be fine after giving birth to this first child. Don't worry about it. You will have experience in the future."
The chariot is ready outside.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted for a few words and then went to Ningshou Palace.
After a while, when I arrived at Ningshou Palace, almost all the concubines and nobles who came to pay their respects had arrived.
In addition to the Crown Princess, there are only three junior princes, Fujin, namely Shu Shu, Ba Fujin, and Shi Fujin.
Qifu Jin Eni is seriously ill and has been staying at her parents' house to take care of her illness for the past few days.
Of the six concubines before, there are only three concubines left now.
Concubine Hui, Concubine Yi and Concubine Xianfu.
There were two people on the concubine seat, the Xi concubine and the good concubine, and seven or eight noble people standing there.
The number of people sitting suddenly decreased by half.
The Queen Mother had no interest in gossiping, so she left after a few words with Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi.
When they left Ningshou Palace, they saw Concubine Hui calling Bafu Jin to Yanxi Palace.
It turned out that she heard that Bafujin needed panax notoginseng powder, so she asked someone to buy it in exchange for two kilograms and a box of pearl powder.
When they arrived at Yanxi Palace, Concubine Hui asked someone to bring two brocade boxes.
"Sanqi looked at the imperial doctor and ordered him to apply pearl powder and milk on the face, which also has the effect of beautifying the face."
Concubine Hui looked at Ba Fujin and said, "You cared about this before because I was afraid you would be sad, so I couldn't bring it up. Now that you want to treat your face, just give it a try."
Ba Fujin looked at Concubine Hui, with more shame on his face, and said: "In the past few years, my daughter-in-law has made things difficult for my concubine."
She didn't like her mother-in-law before, and she only flattered Concubine Hui. In fact, she was causing trouble for Concubine Hui.
Some villains who are afraid of the world being in chaos also gossip about Concubine Hui behind her back, saying that she is suppressing her adopted son and daughter-in-law, and does not allow the Blessed One to get close to her biological mother-in-law and so on.
Concubine Hui didn't mean to blame, and said: "Everyone has his own childhood. It will be fine when he grows up and becomes sensible."
The Eighth Blessings received blessings and said: "My mother-in-law mentioned this to my daughter-in-law many times, but she didn't even listen."
Concubine Hui pulled her up and said with a bit of sadness: "I don't have a daughter, so you and Da Fujin treat you as daughters. However, you both have stubborn tempers. From now on, you should be good. You are always outside.
It is not easy for a woman to take care of herself..."
Bafujin nodded and said with red eyes: "My daughter-in-law must be good and abide by the rules and not embarrass my mother-in-law."
Concubine Hui sighed and said, "It doesn't matter if others say a few words to me. It's better for you to stand up for yourself. Your direct descendant is your direct descendant. Don't wrong yourself."
Bafujin nodded and said: "Don't worry, Madam, I'll never do it again..."
She is alone. If she doesn't feel sorry for herself, who else will feel sorry for herself? It would be too pitiful...

Ningshou Palace, Gege Suo.
Shi Fujin was holding a plate of plums and eating them. The plums were as big as a child's fist, with thick flesh and small core, and a sweet and sour taste.
Eating "Kacha Kacha" makes your mouth full of saliva.
Shu Shu was drinking flower and fruit tea.
After entering the palace, I walked to the Sixth Palace in the West, and then went here again. I was already three miles away, and I was thirsty.
This is the recipe she gave Jiugege. It contains dried peaches and white tea, and it tastes fruity.
Jiu Gege was blushing and looking down at the dowry booklet.
This was also the first time she looked at the dowry brochure. She couldn't see anything else, but when she saw the material of the clothes, she was stunned.
They are all made of the best quality. The princess's quota is one or two horses a year, but in the end, they are all 200 horses here.
The total number turned out to be 2,000 pieces, and there were only 200 pieces of cotton cloth. The other 1,800 pieces were made of various colors of satin, damask, cloud brocade, Sichuan brocade, velvet, palace silk, palace yarn and other fine materials.
You must know that the Empress Dowager has the largest number of pieces in the palace. She has more than 150 pieces of silk and satin cloth of various colors a year, half of which are cloth.
When I arrived at Gege, just like the prince, there were more than forty pieces a year, half of which were cloth, and the remaining twenty or so were various colored satins, palace silks, gauze, damask, etc.
"Sister-in-law Jiu, is this quantity of cloth excessive?"
Jiu Gege said: "This is too much. Twenty horses of good material a year will cost a hundred years..."
Shu Shu shook her head and said: "No, it was prepared according to the rules of Princess Heshuo. Isn't this what it should be? When I got married, I was given more than 800 pieces of various materials. This is my confidence. Everything I wear is from my mother's family.
.”
Jiu Gege hesitated and said: "But I remember that when the third sister and the fourth sister got married, there was not so much dowry..."
Although she didn't see the dowry list, she was impressed by the amount.
If there really was so much cloth, how many sets would we need? How many people would be needed to transport it to Mongolia?
Shu Shu said: "Princess Fumeng's dowry is different from that of those married to the Eight Banners. Princess Fumeng's gold and silver utensils are more."
There was no gold or silver in the nine-square dowry list, but there were four hundred purses, the one containing gold and silver.
After the princess gets married, she returns to the palace to pay her respects and is given a reward of silver.
"Is it too much?"
Jiu Gege was a little uneasy.
This is only the dowry purchased by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The Queen Mother and everyone’s additional dowries have not yet been put into it, so the amount will not be small.
It will be another 20% to 30% more on the current dowry list.
Shu Shu said: "This is the style of the Tian family. From now on, I will not only raise my sister, but also my nephew and niece..."
Speaking of this, she remembered that when the princess got married, she had to arrange a trial marriage with Gege and the accompanying nanny.
These are all systems, and they are actually arranged to protect the rights and interests of the princess.
But she also gave Jiu Gege a warning: "The bosses in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are all arrogant, respectful to their masters, and arrogant to outsiders. Although my sister is surrounded by decent people, I still have to guard against anyone taking advantage of my sister.
Under the banner of bullying, the husband-in-law and the Tong family will be bullied. In that case, the relationship between husband and wife will also be ruined."
Jiu Gege nodded and said: "Don't worry, Sister-in-law Jiu, I will keep an eye on you."
Shi Fujin was listening and did not interrupt. He waited until his sister-in-law finished speaking and then said, "Will my husband-in-law live in the princess's mansion then? Why did I hear that the princess has to live alone? My husband-in-law should still live in my family."
Jiu Gege looked at Shu Shu and said shyly: "I also heard that they live separately."
Shu Shu said: "When did we break up? When we were young, we just lived together if we liked each other. We can't live together at the same time. Then wouldn't we be two families? Wait until a few years later and we no longer like living together. Then again, it's the same sentence.
If someone talks or talks to my sister about the rules, my sister will teach them a lesson. My words are the rules."
Shu Shu has mentioned similar words several times in the past two years, and Jiu Gege has listened to it and no longer offends the Tong family like before.
Jiuge nodded.
After hearing this, Shi Fujin smiled and said: "When Master Shi gets old, I won't mind it and we will live together."
As she said that, she looked at Shu Shu and said, "If Sister-in-law Ninth lets Brother Ninth live by himself, Brother Ninth will cry."
Shu Shu thought it was time to change the topic and asked Jiu Gege: "At the beginning of May, several concubines' natal families raised their flags. Will the beautiful girls from the Wuya family also participate in the Eight Banners draft next year?"
Jiu Gege nodded and said: "This is the rule, but there is no suitable girl in my uncle's family."
Shi Fujin had only heard about the Eight Banners draft, but had not seen it yet, and asked: "Does the Meng Eight Banners also choose?"
Shu Shu nodded and said: "The choice is just that there are not many beautiful girls left in the palace for inspection in the end. It depends on the number of people in the nearby clan who need to marry the elder brother. If there are more, there will be more, and if there are fewer, there will be less."
There are quite a few that directly refer to the harem.
Shi Fujin said: "Then next year it will be the Twelve Fujin and the Thirteenth Fujin? I am also going to be a sister-in-law. I will definitely learn from Jiu Sister-in-law and the other sisters-in-law and teach them well.
Hearing this, Shu Shu thought about Ma Qi's family.
Mrs. Ma Qi's birthday is coming up. For students, this is also one of the "three festivals and two birthdays".
Lord of Heaven and Earth, dear master, this is not a formal gift.
Shu Shu and Brother Jiu are going over tomorrow to give gifts and celebrate birthdays.
By then, she will be able to meet the second princess of the Fucha family.
Just by looking at Fucha and Fujin, you can tell that the Maqi family's upbringing is not bad.
That Er Ge Ge also makes people yearn for him.
The aunts and sisters talked for half an hour before Shu Shu and Shi Fujin stood up and left.
The dowry list was left directly to Jiugege.
"Sister, you can talk to the imperial grandmother and see if there is anything added or subtracted. I will take it out next time if you please."
Shu Shu said.
This is also what Brother Jiu meant.
Jiu Gege held Shu Shu's hand and said, "Excuse me, Brother Jiu, Sister-in-law Jiu has taken the trouble..."
