By the time the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law arrived at Ningshou Palace, everyone was almost there.
Not only was Concubine Yifei in a good mood, the other concubines were also beaming with joy.
I have just received a gift of money from the Wanshou Festival. No matter what they think in their hearts, no one will be disappointed.
Daily necessities in the palace are provided, and the annual salary of the concubines is not high.
Fortunately, the parents can help me by sending some money on birthdays and New Year holidays; if the parents can't help, life is tight.
Don't talk about anything else, just talk about the palace people, eunuchs, and various silver rewards around you, it won't be enough.
Seeing Concubine Yi come in, several concubines stood up.
Concubine Yi nodded and sat down in the west corner.
Diagonally opposite her were Concubine De and Concubine Tong.
Concubine Yi took a look and saw that the corners of Concubine De's eyes were drooping, and she felt quite happy.
She has always been cautious.
She still remembers how Concubine De relied on her elder brother and bullied her ninth elder brother.
And Concubine Tong...
Shun Anyan was obviously Ninth Age's lover, but he was closer to Eighth Age and had no affection for Ninth Age, his old master.
Concubine Yi smiled heartily.
Times have changed.
When the emperor promoted the Tong family, the Tong family was respectable, and Concubine Tong was also a quasi-noble concubine due to her status as a cousin. But when the emperor stopped promoting the Tong family, Concubine Tong was just Concubine Tong, not to mention Jingren Palace, even Chengqian
Gong didn't catch it either.
Concubine Hui came in and saw Concubine Yi smiling happily.
Concubine Hui also laughed.
She envied Concubine Yi because she was so good-looking and had a good temperament that made people happy when they saw her.
Shu Shu stood behind Concubine Yi and looked at Qi Fujin behind Concubine Hui.
Qi Fu Jin and Da Fu Jin walked side by side, and there was nothing visible on their faces.
When Concubine Hui took her seat, the Queen Mother brought out the Crown Princess and Shi Fujin.
Like Concubine Yi, there were many concubines who changed their jewelry and changed into new clothes.
Several princes, Fujin, were also well organized.
When the Queen Mother saw this, she smiled and said: "It can be seen that the emperor has rewarded me well with this money. I have enough money to buy new clothes and a new head."
Concubine Hui usually doesn't dress up much, but today, along with the sapphire on her head and face, she also changed into an eggplant-purple flag dress and said: "The emperor's kindness is so great. I have received this reward, and I am looking forward to it in three years."
The Queen Mother saw that she was not arrogant and was still the same as before, so she told everyone: "This time I have rewarded Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi with double salaries. Your Majesty is wise. This is what they deserve. Since the Emperor built Zhaoxiang Institute, Concubine Hui is
Taking care of and worrying about it for more than twenty years..."
Speaking of this, she remembered that the first child born after Zhaoxiang was repaired was Brother Jiu, so she asked Concubine Yi: "Brother Jiu was born in the 22nd year, right?"
Concubine Yi nodded and said, "Yes, she was born on August 27th of the 22nd year. She went to Zhaoxiang Office on the full moon."
The prince's elder brother before the ninth elder brother, the eldest elder brother and the third elder brother were raised outside the palace, the fifth elder brother was raised in Ningshou Palace, and the fourth elder brother, seventh elder brother and eighth elder brother were raised in Jingren Palace.
Starting from the Ninth Prince, princes and princesses are sent to Zhaoxiang House when they are full moon.
Since then, there was only one prince and princess who died in the palace, the son of Concubine Ping. However, it was not that he died in Zhaoxiang Station, but that he was not well before he was sent to Zhaoxiang Station. He barely survived until the full moon, and then died.
.
Concubine Hui was a little embarrassed and said: "I didn't do anything, I just took charge. The emperor is so powerful. Since the vaccination in the palace, all the princes and princesses have stood down."
The Queen Mother said: "If it wasn't careful, it wouldn't be like this."
Concubine Yi also said, "That's right. I'm not talking about other people, but I'm just talking about Brother Jiu. He came out of Zhaoxiang and his mouth is strong and he is well-raised."
Concubine Hui also recalled that Brother Jiu was the first child she took care of after taking charge of Zhaoxiang Institute.
"Like a little girl, she was very delicate when she was a child. If someone hugged her, she wouldn't let go or she would cry..."
Concubine Hui said.
Shu Shu listened with great interest and somewhat understood who Akdan followed.
This is just following Brother Jiu.
Concubine Yi listened and said: "Now I am no longer squeamish. I am just stingy and can irritate people."
The Queen Mother didn't like hearing it anymore and said: "Why are you so stingy? Our ninth elder brother is generous. He knows how to take care of his brothers and be filial to his elders. You can't find fault with others!"
Concubine Yi hurriedly admitted her mistake and said: "It's my concubine's fault. I shouldn't talk about my grandson. I will praise him if I mention Lao Jiu again."
The Queen Mother was then satisfied, nodded and said: "Praise is what you deserve, but I don't want to offend the old child..."
The Queen Mother praised Concubine Hui in front of everyone, and then praised Concubine Yi.
"There are many young concubines in the West Sixth Palace, and many of them are taken care of by Concubine Yi. She is tolerant and considerate, and everyone praises her..."
After hearing this, Concubine Yi smiled and was not modest, and said: "I have no other preferences. I am just beautiful, and I also like to look at beauties. I accompany young sisters every day, and I feel that I am getting younger."
After hearing this, the Queen Mother looked at Wang Guiren and said, "Did you hear that? Concubine Yi loves beauty. Remember to take Mrs. Shi to pay tribute to Concubine Yi..."
The noble king said respectfully: "According to your Majesty's instructions, I will bring someone over tomorrow to pay my respects to Madam Yi Fei."
The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Yi and said, "This time there is another card partner. Are you happy or not?"
"joy……"
Concubine Yi nodded without hesitation.
The key point is that this woman is not an ordinary Jiangnan woman, she is the daughter of a salt merchant.
In this case, you don’t have to tie your hands when playing cards.
After praising the two of them, the Queen Mother looked at Concubine De again and said: "I always feel that Brother Fourteen is still a child, and he will eventually become an Amma. He is young and does not need you, a mother-in-law, to worry about."
Concubine De said: "I sent you supplements. Shu Shujue Luo is also a worry-free person. The pulse case looks good."
The Queen Mother nodded and said: "That's good..."
She ignored Concubine Xianfu and Concubine Tong, looked at Concubine Rong and said, "Has the Qintian Prison chosen a date? When will it be moved back to Zhongcui Palace?"
Concubine Rong said: "After a few days, the emperor circled the fourth day of April."
The Queen Mother pondered: "It was Manjushri Bodhisattva's Christmas day, a good day. It happened that last year I got a statue of Manjushri Bodhisattva, which was consecrated. I asked someone to send it to Zhongcui Palace..."
After saying a few words to some old concubines, the Queen Mother sent everyone away, leaving Concubine Yi to speak.
Shu Shu looked at Qi Fujin, who happened to also look over.
The two sisters-in-law got together.
Qifu Jin said: "I was just looking for you. I wanted to see your family's inner school..."
There are many children in Qibele Mansion, and they have all reached the age of enlightenment.
Shu Shu knew that these were all excuses and she probably had something to say.
She was also curious about the relationship between Qi Fujin and Wu Fujin, why they suddenly became estranged. The last time they greeted each other, everything seemed normal.
Shi Fujin was sleeping well. Seeing that the two of them had something to say, he put his arm around Si Fujin and said, "Sister-in-law Four, Sister-in-law Ninth is with you now. Let me talk to you."
Si Fujin nodded and said, "What did you say? Did something new come into the shop?"
Her dowry was not generous, and she refrained from shopping outside on weekdays. However, she bought a lot of things in Western shops in Shifujin in the past few years.
In fact, she didn't buy it, it was Si Age who liked Western items and was too embarrassed to come forward.
Shi Fujin nodded and said, "It's true. The snuff bottles this time include a set of crystal and a set of ivory, both with portraits of foreign beauties. They look exquisite."
Si Fujin nodded and said: "Then later, you can ask someone to send it to our house, and I will take the pick."
Shifujin agreed.
The sisters-in-law have their own dowry shops, so they can come to them whenever it is convenient and there is no shortage of money.
Wu Fujin and Qi Fujin did not speak during the whole process. Da Fujin and Ba Fujin also saw it, but neither of them was worried.
As for Sanfujin, he reluctantly told his sisters-in-law about having a baby in his house.
If she was given a choice, she would rather not accept this newborn gift.
After hearing this, everyone congratulated Sanfujin.
San Fujin was stigmatized in his early years, and with the addition of a bastard, fewer people would complain about him; this time, he has a bastard, and if he is raised well, no one will make any accusations against him.
For Sanfujin, this is a good thing.
But this was born to the Tian family, and the princes Fujin, who had seen Tian's style, all looked at each other in shock.
Before, the third elder brother had suppressed the invitation to be granted the title of Fujin because Tian died in childbirth.
Now that I have given birth to another pair of children, the rule of "giving birth to children is meritorious" is enough.
If the third elder brother invites Fujin to be a sidekick, it will not be a good thing for the other prince Fujin.
That would set a precedent for people to ask for a title. The Li family of the Fourth Beile Mansion and the Nala family of the Seven Beile Mansion would also ask for the title at some time.
The sisters-in-law Fucha and Zhaojia had not thought of this.
Seeing San Fujin's slumped face, both of them were puzzled.
She was not pretending, she just showed her dissatisfaction with her concubine and concubine on her face.
They, outsiders, are preparing for the new birth ceremony. While following the rules, they must be able to do as little as possible, otherwise they will seem to be embarrassed by Sanfujin...
The princes Fujin and others outside the palace left the Shenwu Sect together.
Qi Fujin got on Shu Shu's carriage.
"What's the reason? Is this Jijiji?"
Shu Shu asked directly.
Qi Fujin breathed out and said, "I'm holding my breath too. What's this? It was when I asked An to come out of the palace on the 15th, I said a few words to Guarjia, which broke her heart.
Come on, just show me her face, she is a sister-in-law who has separated from her family, it’s just a show of affection, why should I look at her face..."

My father woke up early in the morning with a mild fever and cough. In the afternoon, my mother and I developed cold symptoms. Then I checked and found that there is a virus again. Please take care...
