Who doesn’t look forward to having many children and grandchildren?
Some people secretly counted the number of the emperor's sons.
The first ones were all seventeen, and including those who died in infancy, there were more than twenty princes.
This medicine is efficacious!
Everyone knows that gold is precious, but the entrance to the imperial court is blocked again, and everyone is like a headless fly.
However, the siege has come to an end. In a few days, the holy driver will leave the enclosure, and the princes of various tribes will also return to Mongolia.
Someone thought of Brother Jiu.
The Ninth Prince is acting in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs!
I heard that the Imperial Pharmacy is not under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Hospital, but is under the Ministry of Internal Affairs!
The happiest person was the prince of the Karaqin tribe.
Whoever has dealt with Jiu Age is the one who has dealt with the princes of the Horqin tribe.
Fortunately, the princes of the Karaqin tribe were already wealthy. They thought the golden belt was really good and in line with their preferences, so they took the initiative to ask for help, and Jiu Age also gave him face.
When it came to the Horqin tribe, the customization of the gold belt was a bit unpleasant. The prince's elder brother seemed to be forcing him. The prince of the Horqin tribe felt that it was "spending money to eliminate disasters".
When the alliance presented a banquet, the princes of the Horqin tribe watched Princess Duanmin's sons acting mischievously and pretended to be ignorant to join in the fun and trick people.
Now it is time to ask for the Ninth Prince. The prince of Horqin is a little guilty, but the prince of the Karaqin tribe is particularly magnanimous.
It was no one else who came forward. It was Princess Duanjing's father-in-law, Prince Karaqin.
My sister’s father-in-law is a biological elder, and he is also a generous elder.
Brother Jiu's attitude was very good, and he was friendly when talking, but he couldn't say the right words.
However, he reluctantly told the prince that the medicinal materials used in this medicine are valuable.
Even if I am the prince's elder brother, I am afraid that the number of people I can deal with is limited, but I still have many relatives, so I still need the consideration of the county king.
Prince Karaqin was already overjoyed.
According to his original intention, he just wanted to ask for a medicine to try.
But if there is a "quantity", the more the better.
Within one day, Haraqin sent three gifts back to Shushu and Jiu Age's residence.
Anyone who can become a county king is naturally not a reckless person, and will not do the unknown things.
This gift became Shu Shu's birthday gift to the prince Fu Jin.
The first time, a pair of one-foot-tall coral bonsai.
The second time, a cart full of tanned leather.
The third time, a Mongolian horse.
They are in the names of Prince Karaqin, Princess Duanjing, and Prince Consort Heshuo.
On the same day, the tenth elder brother also received a birthday gift from the Kalaqin tribe.
Two plates of lapis lazuli beads.
One hundred longevity noodles and two black mink cloaks.
A Mongolian horse.
Most of the Mongolian ministries have liaisons and relatives.
As soon as the Haraqin tribe moved, the Horqin tribe's prince still hesitated, and Princess Chunxi couldn't sit still.
Princess Duanjing is the elder sister of the princes, but Princess Chunxi is not?
People do not blame.
If you know that your birthday is approaching and still pretend not to know, you will offend others.
On this day, Shu Shu was thinking about the return gift from the Kalaqin tribe, when Princess Chunxi sent her dowry nanny over.
Princess Chunxi wanted to come over to visit Shu Shu, so she sent someone to come over in advance to see if it was convenient.
Shu Shu didn't make excuses, and said directly: "I have nothing to do all day long. Since the eldest sister has something to do, I just took a walk..."
After saying that, she ordered Walnut to pick out the prepared food, sweets and snacks, and take them to see Princess Chunxi.
Several princesses live on the right side of the road.
It's close to the Queen Mother's residence, so it's convenient for them to go there to greet her and talk to her.
There are not many days left to get together, and parting is imminent.
I don’t know when the next family reunion will be.
Princess Chunxi was still waiting for her nanny to come back. Unexpectedly, Shu Shu arrived. She hurriedly got up to greet her, held hands and took her into the house. They were very close to her.
Shu Shu was respectful and intimate: "You are too polite, just call me if you have orders..."
This one is the adopted daughter of the emperor, not his biological sister.
The more this is the case, the more the etiquette cannot be bad.
Princess Chunxi really smiled sincerely: "I heard that my sister-in-law's birthday is coming, and I was going to go over to wish you a happy birthday, but I'm sorry to bother you..."
"It's just a birthday party, why should I bother my eldest sister..."
There was a bit of shyness on Shu Shu's face, and she said: "We shouldn't alarm the outside world, we shouldn't make people feel arrogant..."
Princess Chunxi has a strong temper. She is not the kind of princess who lives in the inner house. She is also aware of the undercurrents in various ministries.
She thought for a moment and said straight to the point: "What's going on with Yanziwan? It's been widely spread, why haven't you heard of it before..."
Shu Shu said with helplessness: "There have always been patent medicines from the Royal Pharmacy, prescriptions passed down from the previous dynasty... but they have never been rewarded. This time, they were rewarded once, and they were exposed... Who doesn't want good things?
I want it, but the quantity is limited, and now we all have a headache..."
Princess Chunxi couldn't help but feel moved after hearing this, and asked in a low voice: "Is it really that effective?"
Shu Shu didn't answer immediately. She blushed slowly and nodded slightly after a while.
Knowing that this sister-in-law was still a new daughter-in-law, Princess Chunxi restrained her words and said: "My brothers and sisters also know that our brother-in-law is not a member of the Xijue family. The old prince who is now the head of the flag is our brother-in-law's uncle... The old man
I didn’t come this time. It’s my sixtieth birthday next month, and our husband-in-law is planning birthday gifts..."
Shu Shu listened with a smile and didn't know how to answer the question.
The old man is sixty, would you like to give this as a birthday gift?
Shouldn't you ask for medicine in the name of asking for a child?!
The name of this "Yanzi Pill" was changed by Shu Shu before.
The previous Deer Blood Ginseng Rong Pills were too straightforward, and Shu Shu was worried that someone would read ancient books to decipher the secret recipe.
Also, nowadays people are taboo against lust, and things like sex are kept in private.
Especially now, the imperial court advocates Confucianism and begins to develop ethics.
Lustfulness is also a kind of immorality.
Men usually take concubines under the guise of procreating children.
There are three kinds of unfilial piety, the greatest of which is not having offspring.
If the name is not changed, it will be directly classified as a banned drug, and many people will be embarrassed to ask for medicine.
The name of this medicine means that it is not a medicine that needs to be sneaked away from people, but a medicine that can be used confidently.
Shu Shu could see that he was respectful and approachable to Princess Chunxi, and the princess was very pleased with her, so she didn't use any pretense.
Shu Shubian became more sincere and said: "Sister, I also know that the Royal Pharmacy belongs to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but it is managed by people from Taiyuan Hospital... After all, Taiyuan Hospital is not an ordinary yamen, even we have to avoid taboos..."
Princess Chunxi was raised in the palace from an early age and was not raised until she was twenty years old, so she naturally knew the situation in the palace.
Disappointment appeared on her face: "Yes, that is the Royal Pharmacy... There are multiple words for "Yu", but they are different..."
"But the emperor rewarded our father with two pills a few days ago, and there is still one pill left. I originally wanted to leave it to my cousin... If the eldest sister is not too little, I will ask someone to deliver it later..."
Shu Shu was still as shy as a young daughter-in-law, and said with a bit of embarrassment.
Princess Chunxi was overjoyed: "Nothing is too little, nothing is too little... Really, this time I took advantage of my younger siblings..."
They are more than ten years apart, almost a generation apart.
There was nothing to say, Shu Shu's attitude was in place and the favor was given away, so she stood up and left.
Princess Chunxi ordered the accompanying maid to deliver it in person, along with the birthday gift she had prepared for Shu Shu.
Originally, she wanted to follow Princess Duanjing's example and send a cart of loose skins, but now she was a little overwhelmed, so she temporarily changed it into four silver fox skins, four wolf skins, and a pair of durian skins.
A gold hairpin inlaid with pearls and precious stones, and a pair of gold flat squares with patterns of longevity and longevity.
Both the Harqin tribe and the Horqin tribe sent birthday gifts, and other tribes followed suit.
Those who are well-informed know that Brother Jiu’s path is a way to seek medicine.
If you are not well informed, you are just following the crowd, for fear of neglecting the prince and prince Fujin and offending others.
There were a total of nine troops on the siege this time.
We all walked around for more than half a month and saved a lot of leathers. Most of the various leathers in this birthday gift were made up of.
Shu Shu put it away and her hands were hot.
She discussed with Brother Jiu: "Don't take advantage of this, otherwise it will be easy for others to talk about it... It's just a coincidence, my grandpa's birthday at the end of August is not so grand..."
There are elders on the two floors above, and it's another birthday, so it's time to have a bowl of birthday noodles instead of mobilizing troops and mobilizing people like this.
Brother Jiu didn't like to go out of his way at all, so he said: "What should we do? Collect everything and send it to Khan Ama? It's not easy for him to collect it, right?"
If it were just the tenth elder brother's side, and the son was filial, it would be justified.
It made Amala ashamed to take something from her daughter-in-law.
"Let's break it up..."
Shu Shu felt that he was not worried about the scarcity but the inequality, so he would just balance it out: "Take out the skins from the tenth brother, pick the good ones to honor the emperor, and the remaining brothers will all be divided...I
The same goes for the skins here, some should be given to the Queen Mother and the Empress as filial piety, and the rest should be divided among the other female retinues..."
Brother Jiu thought this was a good idea and whispered: "If they are here for me, then just accept it. I can't take it... But they are here for medicine, and there is Khan Ama behind them...
…Khan Ama’s advantage, whether you want to or not, I’m afraid I’ll suffer a big loss if I take advantage of it...”
Shu Shu listened and felt very amused.
Is this the intuition of small animals?
Occasionally, there are times when I am clever.
After the couple made a decision, the ninth elder brother told the tenth elder brother about the matter.
The tenth elder brother has always listened to the ninth elder brother, so naturally he will not object.
He is also restless.
I received birthday gifts one after another, and I felt unsure.
Except for Sister Duanjing's birthday noodles and cloak, he didn't want to accept them.
He knew Brother Ninth's plan and knew that this time it was not for him, so it was hard to refuse.
His future fortune will be Mongolian Princess, and these princes will bring warmth to him.
In addition, since he is a prince, his status is naturally higher than Shu Shu, the prince Fu Jin. Even if everyone wants something from the Ninth Prince and his wife, the etiquette must be met, so the birthday gift here is thicker than that there.
"There happen to be two tiger skins that can be given to Khan Amma... four black fox skins are given to the eldest brother and the third child; four silver fox skins are given to the fifth brother and the seventh brother; six wolf skins are given to the ninth brother and the third brother.
It’s thirteen…”
Brother Ten took stock of his good friends and said.
Brother Ninth narrowed his eyes and said: "The piece of tiger skin that I picked out is Xiaojing Khan Ama, and the rest will be kept by the prince..."
The tenth brother was stunned for a while, and then murmured: "Ninth brother..."
Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows and said, "That's the crown prince. Isn't it right to be respectful? How could he fall so easily?"
Brother Ten's face was serious: "Brother Ninth..."
Brother Jiu clenched his fists hard so as not to express the suspicion deep in his heart.
That is the sorrow of the eleventh brother.
Seeing his firm look, the tenth elder brother thought about it carefully, nodded and said: "Then leave a piece of tiger skin... But you can't give it to the prince alone, that would be too obvious, leave a piece for the fourth brother and eighth brother too...
…”
Brother Ninth patted Brother Ten on the shoulder: "Are you afraid?"
The tenth elder brother grinned: "What are you afraid of? I've grown up, become sensible, and know all about the brothers. No one can make a mistake... Give the wolf skins to the fourth brother, two to the eighth brother, and keep the remaining two to the ninth brother.
...Otter skins of Thirteen and Fourteen, and a few small ermine skins left..."
Brother Jiu's eyes were red, and he felt a little regretful.
Perhaps, he should not have dragged Lao Shi into the water.
The tenth elder brother had already hooked the ninth elder brother's neck and lowered his voice: "What did that old bastard Suo'etu do again?"
The ninth elder brother was shocked when he heard this, and turned to look at the tenth elder brother with surprise.
Brother Ten's eyes were stern: "If the rumors alone wouldn't have pushed Brother Ninth to this point..."
Who is the prince?
The prince is the crown prince of the country!
It is also the backer of the Soetu and Hesheli families!
Normally, they had no dealings with Yuqing Palace at all, and there was no reason for them to become enemies.
Brother Jiu's eyes were red and he whispered: "Eleventh..."
Brother Ten's eyes widened, and he said after a while: "When Brother Ninth went to Cining Palace in July, did you start checking?"
Brother Jiu nodded: "When the incident with Aunt Liu happened, I thought of Eleven...Although Eleven was born prematurely, she was almost healed when she was a child. She was fine when she was in Yikun Palace...can be moved by different palaces.
When I got to the fourth hospital, I started to get sick again..."
Brother Ten listened carefully, frowned and said: "Although it is a coincidence, there must be some omissions. There is a case in the Taiyuan Hospital, and Khan Ama will not be unaware..."
Brother Ninth gritted his teeth and told the story of the death of Brother Eleven’s nanny and the remarriage of the Jin family’s widow: “After my wedding, the Jin family arranged for their girls to be candidates for the second school. At that time, I thought it was a pretext.
It was the guise of the empress, but now I know she is not the empress..."
The empress will not let them go to the second institute to choose, nor will they be sent to Zhaoxiang Institute if they fail.
This is the way of the inner management office, which is managed by the prince's nanny.
"The Jin family is related to the Hesheli family..."
Brother Jiu was not a fool, so he naturally noticed something was wrong.
So the Jin family's widow remarried, was there any instigation from the Hesheli family?
