Chapter 1565: Everyone in the world is suffering (wowling for monthly votes)
Seeing that Shu Shu stopped talking, Brother Jiu smiled.
"Do you take the rumors outside seriously? All the royal love affairs are fake..."
Brother Ninth said.
Shu Shu said: "I just think it's a little strange to go to Wutai Mountain with the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager was already over seventy at the time."
Brother Jiu thought for a while and said: "I remember that Khan Ama went to many places with the Empress Dowager in those years, and even went to Gubeikou to spend the summer vacation. There may not be other reasons. In that year, the Empress Dowager
She is seventy-two years old. She has believed in Buddhism all her life. Maybe she just wants to pray for blessings from Mount Wutai?"
There is an old saying among the people, seventy-three or eighty-four, the king of hell will not ask you to go.
For older people, these two ages are more taboo and they will prepare in advance.
Shu Shu said: "What I said makes sense. People outside are just trying to catch wind and shadows. There is no real secret that can be spread. What everyone can talk about is either not a secret or made up..."
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Yes, if it really involves royal secrets, even if someone notices any clues, they will just think that they are mute and wish they didn't know anything. How can they dare to tell others..."
As the daughter of the Dong E family, Shu Shu also heard Luo Shi and Mrs. Bo mention Empress Xiaoxian in her early years.
It is said outside that the Empress Dowager is not happy and that Emperor Shizu only favors her. This is actually not true.
It is true that the Empress Dowager was not happy, because the Empress Dowager allowed Mongolian concubines to enter the palace. Her original intention was to continue the Manchu-Mongolian marriage just like the Taizong Dynasty.
But at that time, the Eight Banners had already entered the customs, and the Eight Banners were the main force to pacify the world.
Emperor Shizu wanted to suppress the Mongolian concubines at that time and wanted to marry the Dong E family into the palace as a wife.
At that time, there were rumors that the imperial concubines of the East and West Palaces would be included.
The Dong E family was only the concubine of the West Palace, and there was another concubine of the East Palace, Kong Sizhen, who was ranked above the Dong E family.
This Kong Sizhen was the daughter of Kong Youde, King of Dingnan.
After King Dingnan died, Kong Sizhen was taken into the palace by the Empress Dowager.
Later, for some unknown reason, Kong Sizhen did not become the imperial concubine of the East Palace, but became the adopted daughter of the Empress Dowager. She was named Heshuogege, married into her father's old tribe, and returned to the south.
During the San Francisco Rebellion, her husband and sons were gone, and she herself was placed under house arrest in Guilin by Wu Sangui.
After the San Francisco Rebellion was put down, she returned to the capital to retire. The princess's residence was located in the imperial palace outside Xihua Gate.
Brother Jiu also thought of the old princess and said: "The daughter of meritorious service is also pitiful. She is almost 70 years old and has no children or grandchildren. She lives alone in the imperial city. Now the supplies are all paid by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
…”
Shu Shu thought of two masterpieces written by a certain aunt in later generations.
One is Crescent Moon Princess and the other is Little Sparrow Princess.
The setting of the heroine in it all has the shadow of the adopted daughter of the Empress Dowager.
When I read the novel, I didn't think much of it. Now that I know the life of the old princess, Shu Shu also wants to "poof".
The novelist's words are indeed the most untrustworthy things...

The Fourth North Institution currently houses the Thirteenth Prince and his wife.
Although moving does not require the owner to do it himself, it does consume energy.
Thirteen Fujin is still a bride, she wants to do everything by herself, and she is a little tired.
When Brother Thirteen came back, Thirteen Fujin was lying on his side, closing his eyes and recuperating.
Brother Thirteen sat by the kang.
Thirteen Fujin noticed something, opened his eyes, saw that he was back, pursed his lips, smiled, and sat up.
"Feeling tired after waking up early? Then catch up on some sleep. No one else is around. How can you be more comfortable..."
Thirteenth Brother said.
Thirteen Fujin shook his head and said, "Fortunately, I'm over the sleepiness now."
The princes who came here this morning were from the Sixth House. The eldest brother, the third prince and the fourth prince all lived in the fifth house in the south; the seventh prince, the thirteenth prince and the ninth prince lived in the sixth house in the north.
There is also a solo fourteenth brother, who is still in Nanwu this time.
It's close to where I study.
Thirteen Fujin said: "We are here, when should I go visit my two sisters-in-law?"
The three families all live in the courtyard here. From now on, if you don't look up when you see them, they are young, so they must be polite.
Brother Thirteen said: "Don't worry. I'll send someone this afternoon to see if my sisters-in-law are free tomorrow. Sister-in-law Seven is cheerful and Sister-in-law Ninth is kind and considerate. Both sisters-in-law are very good to deal with."
Thirteen Fujin thought about the vacant three and six houses, and said: "This prince came to Haidian, what is the arrangement of this courtyard? The sixth house belongs to the tenth master, and the three belong to the twelve masters and others, or the eighth house
Baylor’s?”
The Thirteenth Brother shook his head and said: "There is no rule that which courtyard will be given to which family, but this place is close to the North Garden. The Fifth Brother and the Fifth Sister-in-law will definitely live here. The Tenth Sister-in-law will also live here for the convenience of greeting the Dowager.
This is the side; the Ninth Brother and the Tenth Brother Meng Buli focus on this side; the Seventh Sister-in-law, the Fifth Sister-in-law, and the Ninth Sister-in-law have a good relationship, and they are happy to live here..."
This fixes four companies.
This year, the thirteenth elder brother did not live in the fifth south residence, but chose to bring Fujin here because the sisters-in-law there are older and the sisters-in-law here are closer to each other.
Otherwise, according to the example at the beginning of the year, the thirteenth elder brother should live in South Fourth House.
After hearing this, Thirteenth Fujin hesitated and said: "I watched the Holy Master move to Haidian, and all the princes followed him. Why is it that only the Twelfth Master did not move? Is there any reason for this?"
It’s not that Thirteen Fujin is boring and has to worry about other people’s affairs.
When she was at her brother's place, she had interacted with Twelve Fujin several times. The two were similar in age and had both stayed in the palace, so they got along happily.
However, when we moved to Haidian today, she and her thirteenth brother were the only ones here. There was no movement from Qianxi Fifth Institute, which made me feel very embarrassed.
After hearing this, the thirteenth elder brother said: "Khan Ama has been stationed in Haidian in the past few years. He has not ordered which son to follow him or which son is not allowed to come. It is all based on everyone's free will. But the twelfth elder brother came out.
After the study, I could make the decision, but I didn’t follow him even once. Brother Ninth also tried to persuade me, but Brother Twelve said it would be convenient to stay in the palace and go to the Yamen..."
Although the emperor's father didn't say it, he still hoped that his sons would follow him to live here, otherwise he would not have built the fifth southern residence and added the northern sixth residence.
Now the princess's residence has been built.
It's just that the twelfth brother's disobedience is not just once or twice.
As the younger brother, Thirteenth Brother, it is not easy to be verbose, otherwise it will be like teaching the elder brother to do things.
Thirteenth Fujin said: "It's convenient for the Twelfth Master, but what about the Twelfth Sister-in-law? When others go to pay their respects to the Imperial Grandmother, will she come or not? If she does, she will have to come from the palace alone.
Come here, if you don't come, it will be too conspicuous..."
Brother Thirteen said: "The Crown Princess did not come to Haidian this time. How to greet her later, it is better to see the Crown Princess..."
Anyway, they are at the back of the queue, and they can't go wrong by following the actions of the brother and sister-in-law in front.
Thirteen Fujin nodded and said: "This is the only way..."

North Second House, main room.
Qi Fujin stayed with Sangege for a while, then sent the nanny to take Sangege to the west wing to place her there.
Sangege is four years old and looks like an ordinary child, except that she is extra quiet.
Only people around him know that Sangege's reactions are a bit slow. He speaks slowly and reacts slowly.
Such children, even if they grow up and get married, may not be able to make people feel at ease.
There was no smile on Qi Fujin's face, and the corners of his mouth were drooped, looking a bit frustrated.
When the nanny saw this, she advised: "Fu Jin is still young..."
Qi Fujin smiled bitterly and said: "This mansion is getting more and more lively..."
She was busy begging for a child last year, and even urged her seventh brother to go to Hongluo Temple. However, there was still no movement in her stomach. Instead, there was movement in the two princesses in the backyard, and among them, Nala Gege was already the fifth child.
Na La Gege herself was frightened, she was pitiful. While others had gained weight during pregnancy, Na La Gege had lost weight.
I gave birth to four children in the past five years, and they still haven't nursed back to health. Now I'm pregnant again this time. It's strange that I'm not afraid.
The other princess was also uneasy. Everyone in the house knew that his legitimate son Fujin was seeking a son, but they ended up rushing ahead of him. Not to mention being arrogant, they didn't even dare to breathe when they were in front of Qi Fujin.
Qi Fujin found it boring and had been looking forward to moving out a few years ago.
There was no one else around at the moment, so she said to her nanny: "If I really can't live again, what will Sangege do? My father and I will go ahead of her..."
Nanny is the most loyal, but she also knows not to make random ideas.
Qi Fujin's situation seems to be rock solid, but without a son, it's not easy to say.
Even if a man respects his legitimate wife, how does that compare to blood?
If Fujin didn't have an elder brother, then in order to promote Hongshu's elder brother's identity, Lord Baylor would definitely ask Fujin to be his father.
At that time, it was Fujin who was in a difficult situation.
In fact, the best way is to imitate the princess and educate the bastards who come after her.
If we look for opportunities in the future to push down the eldest son of a concubine and lift up the educated concubine, then Baylor Mansion will have another pattern.
But in that case, you are going against Lord Baylor.
I am so smart, so why don't I know that is the best way?
It's just that we don't want to do that out of consideration for the relationship between husband and wife.
After Qi Fujin finished speaking, he felt a little depressed.
Hongshu looks like an honest boy now, but that's because he is a concubine and she is the legitimate mother.
What if Hong Shu really becomes the heir to the mansion in the future...
Don't look at other people, just look at the layout of Prince Yu's palace, and you will know.
As long as the biological mother is around, Fujin becomes the housekeeper.
When the title changes, the housekeeper Fujin will have to move away. Whether the future will be good or bad will all depend on the conscience of the concubine.
Qi Fujin thought this way and became sentimental, saying: "If I really don't have a legitimate son, let me go ahead of you..."
As she said this, she burst into tears.
When the time comes, once everything is over, there is no need to worry about the future, and there is no need to think about the bleak future of one's life.
When the nanny saw this, she hurriedly said: "Fu Jin is only twenty-one, why do you think about these things and reach this point? Now that everyone has moved here, Jiu Fu Jin is here. When Mrs. Du Tong gives birth to a child, she will have a mistress
It’s ten…”
"Woooo..."
Qi Fujin still felt uncomfortable. Thinking about the desolate scene in the future, she, who loves fun and is so strong, couldn't bear it.
After being the mistress of Baylor Mansion for several years, she was very strong and smart in public. Except after having the third child, she had never been so weak.
She is really jealous of Nala Gege!
Women are all jealous, and she is no exception.
She was not jealous of Na La Gege, but she was jealous of Na La Gege's body that was easy to give birth to.
Nalagge has been taking medicine to maintain his health in the past two years. The seventh prince came there only a handful of times last year, and only once when he asked for water.
As a result, it was only once that Nalagge became pregnant with her fifth child. Now it is more than four months and the pregnancy is stable.
"I am respectful and filial to Fujin and the nobles. I serve the Lord with all my heart. I am also kind to Princess's servants. I have never treated my little brother or little princess harshly. Why did the Buddha bless everyone but not me... Wuwu...
"
The more Qifu Jin talked about it, the more aggrieved he became, and at the end he couldn't help crying.
When the nanny saw her like this, she burst into tears and wished she could scold the Bodhisattva together.
They are all princes, Fujin, so how come other people can get the emperor's grandson from Hongluo Temple, but Fujin himself can't?
Qi Fujin cried, his face became paler and paler, and he spat out "Wow".
Grandma was startled and said hurriedly: "Fujin, Fujin, what's wrong with you?"
Qi Fujin felt that his body was weak, and his eyesight was turning black.
The nanny hurriedly shouted: "Someone come quickly, Fujin is sick..."
The girls who were cleaning the house in the west room heard the commotion and came over.
Seeing that something was not right with Qi Fujin, the nanny endured her panic and ordered: "Send someone to ask for the imperial doctor, then send someone to the garden to send a message to Lord Beile, and then go to the fifth institute to ask for Jiu Fujin..."
