The next day was the third day of the tenth lunar month, the Holy Birthday Festival. The Empress Dowager had already issued a message and exempted the clan members from having to go to the palace to celebrate her birthday.
But early in the morning, the fifth elder brother still went to Ningshou Palace to kowtow.
"My grandson wishes the imperial grandmother a long life and good health..." said the fifth elder brother. The Queen Mother supported him and said: "There are no new words, they are the same every year." The fifth elder brother said: "Grandson This is the only thing we hope for." The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Seventy or eighty years old is enough, any older will be annoying." The fifth elder brother hurriedly said: "The Imperial Grandmother is so good, the grandchildren only love her, who would dislike the Emperor?" Grandma? When you are ninety-nine, your grandson will carry you on his back to climb Jingshan Mountain..." The Queen Mother smiled more and more cheerfully and said: "At that time, you will be over sixty, can you still carry the emperor's grandmother?" Five The elder brother immediately straightened up his back and said, "I'm sure, my grandson's bones are very strong. When he is sixty, he will be like sixteen." The Queen Mother thought of the pox epidemic outside, looked at the fifth elder brother and said: " You guys are going to be busy this time. Once the pox breaks out, how many things will happen..." The fifth elder brother whispered: "My grandson sees that the third elder brother is enjoying it. Only when something goes wrong can he show his talent. He was the one who took the lead for us to be able to come. The credit is his and the fault is his." After hearing this, the Queen Mother felt relieved.
The grandson she raised is certainly not stupid and has a plan in mind. Now that the prince is in a delicate situation and the emperor has lost his temper, it is best for the other princes to stay safe.
If you do less, you will make fewer mistakes; if you do more, you will make more mistakes. The Queen Mother asked Wu Beile Mansion about avoiding acne. The fifth elder brother said: "Yesterday afternoon, I asked Fujin to take the children to Haidian, and the third brother and Lao Qi also went there. I can also take care of you." The Queen Mother nodded, thinking about the sealing of the Jiubele Mansion, and said: "Have someone keep an eye on it, and send someone over the next day to see if there are any unlucky people over there." The fifth elder brother nodded and said, "Don't worry, Grandmother, the arrangements for your grandson have been taken care of." The Queen Mother knew that he was in the south study room, so she didn't keep anyone around. The grandma and grandson ate longevity noodles together and asked the fifth elder brother to leave.
Before the fifth elder brother could go out, the third elder brother came with the seventh elder brother and kowtowed to the Queen Mother.
"The imperial grandmother was considerate of her grandchildren and did not have to salute, but the grandchildren did not come to kowtow and felt uneasy..." As the third elder brother said, he knelt down and kowtowed three times.
The seventh elder brother followed behind and followed suit. The Queen Mother waved her hand and said with a smile: "Okay, I received the filial piety, and go ahead!" Then the three brothers came out of Ningshou Palace.
The third elder brother scolded the fifth elder brother and said: "Fifth brother, really, how can you come here alone? Is the imperial grandmother your own imperial grandmother?" The fifth elder brother was confused by what he said, and said: "But the imperial grandmother is yours alone." Didn't you give me a birthday greeting before?" During this epidemic, even if you are familiar with it, it's hard to run around.
What if there are other illnesses? The third elder brother stopped, looked at the fifth elder brother and said: "Those are other people, can they be the same as us? We are our own grandchildren, and we are on duty in the palace every day. Nan The study is half way from Ningshou Palace. If you can't get there, what will Khan Ama think?" Fifth Prince: "..." I really didn't think much about it.
He blinked and said: "What about the twelfth elder brother? He is also on duty in the palace, do you want to tell me?" The third elder brother snorted: "That guy is just a thief, we don't need to tell him, he will go in the morning Ningshou Palace kowtowed too much." The fifth elder brother really didn't expect it.
"Then how many younger ones are left?" asked the fifth elder brother. The third elder brother took schadenfreude and said, "The fifteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother went to Ningshou Palace early in the morning and kowtowed in front of Ningshou Palace and did not go in; Fourth elder brother, you probably haven't thought of this yet." He asked the seventh elder brother to make up for it, but the fourteenth elder brother didn't make up for it.
When the emperor finds out, he will probably make a note to the fourteenth elder brother. The fifth elder brother is silent and has no intention of reminding the fourteenth elder brother.
He was just surprised. Among the brothers, the third elder brother was notoriously ill-informed in the past. Now, it's different.
After joining the South Study Room for several consecutive years and taking the lead in handling government affairs, the third elder brother's popularity seemed to have reversed.
Did the third elder brother take the initiative to arrange for the spy to find out this news, or was it someone else who took the initiative to inform the third elder brother in order to curry favor with the third elder brother?
No matter which one it is, the third elder brother has made great progress. Tsk, it will be even more lively in the future... At noon, the Ministry of War will hand over the documents approved by the emperor to the south study room.
The third elder brother read the greeting card that the three of them sent out yesterday, but did not move for a long time. The fifth elder brother noticed something strange and said: "What's wrong with the third elder brother? What exactly did Khan Amma arrange for Seventeenth Princess and Nineteenth Agosh?" ?" The third elder brother handed him the zhezi and said, "See for yourself!" The fifth elder brother took it and read it. When he saw Zhu Pi clearly,
He stood up in a hurry. Isn’t this causing trouble to the ninth prince?! There are three children over there and a pregnant woman. How can you have the energy to watch the princes and princesses get vaccinated!
The third elder brother was already upset: "What does Khan Ama mean? It's not the ninth elder brother's turn to take care of his younger brothers and sisters, right? He is still a child, what can he do?" The seventh elder brother saw the two of them. After reacting, knowing that something was wrong with the approval, he stood up and took the fold from the fifth elder brother's hand, looked at it hastily, and muttered: "Perhaps Khan Ama knew that the ninth brother was inoculating the children in the house, so he arranged it like this." Seventeen Gege and Ten If Brother Ninth doesn't get vaccinated, he will have to go out of town to avoid acne. But at this age, he always needs someone to look after him.
The Crown Princess is in charge of palace affairs, and due to her status, she cannot leave the palace. The biological mothers of Seventeenth Princess and Nineteenth Prince are young palace wives, and they are not allowed to stay outside.
The time to avoid acne is uncertain. After the vaccination is cured, you can return to the uterus. Compared with avoiding acne, vaccination is safer.
In that case, someone needs to be properly escorted by Seventeen Princess and Nineteenth Brother. Third Brother said angrily: "The Crown Princess cannot leave the palace, and there is a sister-in-law with me outside the palace. The sister-in-law has never given birth and is not suitable to take care of children. Isn't I, Fujin, the best candidate?" The fifth elder brother wished that his younger brothers and sisters would not get involved, so he hurriedly said: "Then, third brother, you can give me a discount and take the initiative to join me. Third sister-in-law is indeed more reliable than the old Jiu Fujin. The old Jiu Fujin is heavier, I'm afraid It's not enough." The third elder brother snorted and said: "Did Khan Ama listen to the advice? Since the old man arranged it like this, how can there be any room for change? Send people to Yonghe Palace and Chuxiu Palace to call the concubine, and the concubine will give it. Prepare the manpower and luggage, and then send them to Lao Jiu's house. The house over there must be tidied up..." The fifth elder brother was worried about his younger brother and said: "I'll go to Lao Jiu's mansion..." The third elder brother and the seventh elder brother It was difficult to go in and out of the inner court, so he asked the eunuchs around him to send messages to the two palaces.
Jiubele Mansion, main courtyard, back room. In the east, Fengsheng is preparing to vaccinate. The current method of vaccination is no longer the nasogastric method used during variolation, but has been replaced by vaccination with a higher probability of success and faster flowering. of
"Planting flowers" method. Fengsheng is currently wearing a sleeveless gown, exposing his arms. The doctor who vaccinates him holds a knife in his hand and bakes it on the candlelight.
There was Shu Shu preparing alcohol next to him. Brother Jiu looked at the situation and whispered to Shu Shu: "Do you have to go under the knife? Nasal feeding is slower..." Shu Shu said: "You are not afraid of being slow, but nasal feeding If only half of the flowers bloom, if there are no flowers, you have to do it again, and each time it takes a month..." It is originally intended to prevent acne, but if it really takes two or three months to vaccinate, then this Who can guarantee that nothing will happen during this period?
After hearing this, Brother Jiu understood the importance, and went over to Fengsheng and said: "eldest son, be strong, just a little pain, and then you will be fine..." No matter how sensible Fengsheng is, he is still a child. Afraid, he turned to look at Shu Shu: "Enie..." Shu Shu stepped forward, held Fengsheng in his arms, and said: "Enie is holding her. It won't hurt anymore after it's over. Come on, your brothers and sisters." So is the lady next door." Today is the day to vaccinate the children. Since the children of Dunjun Prince's Palace, Erhe, and Zhang family have decided to vaccinate, they have also arranged it for today.
"Hmm..." Fengsheng waited for a while before nodding. Brother Jiu told the imperial doctor: "The smaller the flowers, the smaller the wound, the better..." Although the weather is not afraid of the wound festering nowadays, children are afraid of pain, so the smaller they are, the better. good.
The acne doctor responded and wiped Feng Sheng's left arm with alcohol. At the Xiaoshuo point, the acne doctor quickly made a small cross with the tip of the knife.
"Woo..." Fengsheng was the grandson of the emperor and the eldest son of the Baylor Mansion. He had never experienced such pain since he was a child, and he couldn't help crying.
Shu Shu and Jiu Age felt uncomfortable listening to it. But this was just the beginning of the vaccination, and the main text would come after the physical injuries were over.
Apply the dried vaccine to the wound.
"If the inoculation is successful, a rash will appear in two to three days. If it is not successful, it will be re-inoculated at the Qinglengyuan point..." The pox doctor bandaged the wound and said to Brother Jiu and Shu Shu.
Brother Jiu hurriedly said: "Then it's better to do it once, so as not to suffer twice!" Shu Shu remembered that cowpox had been out for three years, and asked the doctor: "It's happened twice? How many times at most?" said the doctor. : "Up to four times, the two acupuncture points on the right hand are full before you feel happy." Shu Shu: "..." After a while, I will put a stick of incense on the Buddha.
Fengsheng stopped crying and looked a little unhappy. He looked at Shushu with moist eyes and looked pitiful. Shushu hugged his son and said, "Enie and Ama will go and vaccinate your younger brothers and sisters first. I'll come over to see you after the planting is done. You can take a nap first, okay." Fengsheng nodded.
Shu Shu and Brother Jiu went to Xishuojian. Aunt Qi was here to accompany Akdan. She was also a squeamish person.
Shu Shu hugged the person in her arms, groped around, and said: "Brother has already vaccinated the pox, it's Akdan's turn, and Enie will accompany you." Akdan raised his head and said, "I've been vaccinated against the pox, Enie. When you go out again, will you take us with you?" Shu Shu nodded and said: "Yes, I will definitely take you with you, but you have to wait until the weather gets warmer, in March or April next year, then Enie will take you to Haidian to see the flowers, including pear blossoms and peach blossoms... ..." Brother Jiu also said from the side: "Amma will take you out too, and then go to Tianjin Wei to catch big fish..." Akdan listened, his little face shining.
Watching the acne doctor pick up the knife, he didn't flinch. But when he got the knife on his arm, he still trembled in pain and his lips were filled with tears...
