A few days later, on the 25th of the leap month, it was the day when Prince Fujin entered the palace again.
According to the usual practice, Shu Shu waited for Wufujin at the entrance of her elder brother's corridor, and the two of them went to Yikun Palace together.
Concubine Yi put on the Ningsha blouse of "Qing Taiping", and the diamond on her head was replaced by a green tourmaline flower, matching the clothes on her body.
She looks like she is in her twenties, standing with her two daughters-in-law, like sisters.
Wufujin and Shushu couldn't help but praise them again.
It's sincere.
As her body gradually recovered, Yifei's complexion also improved greatly.
Shu Shu thought of the ten pieces of "Qing Taiping" material he had collected.
Since Concubine Yi likes it, it’s really hard to give it away.
As long as she is a woman, who is willing to wear matching clothes?
However, the emperor only gave two pieces of material to Yikun Palace. They treated them as sons, and it was not easy for the daughter-in-law to show filial piety.
Before the season is over, you can give filial piety to two horses from Yi Kun Palace and leave the remaining eight horses alone.
If Concubine Yi still likes this color next year, she will continue to show her filial piety.
If you don't like it, then talk about something else.
After a while, the group of four people still walked to Ningshou Palace.
When we arrived in front of Ningshou Palace, we found something different.
Previously, most of the guests came in chariots, and there were some chariots parked outside.
As a result, these two times Concubine Yi walked over, and all the concubines in the West Sixth Palace also walked.
Even concubines are divided into different levels.
Fortunately among the four concubines, Concubine Rong has the most seniority and Concubine De has many princes and daughters, so there is no superiority or inferiority to each other.
The others are far behind.
Especially since Concubine Yi was in charge of the West Sixth Palace before. She did not have the name of a noble concubine, but she had the status of a concubine. The whole West Sixth Palace was still headed by Concubine Yi by default.
When Concubine Yi saw it, she frowned slightly and felt a little regretful.
She disliked that her waist was half an inch wider than before giving birth, so she wanted to move more, but it made others walk along.
It seems that next time I say hello, I will have to change the carriage.
By the time the Queen Mother came out, several junior sisters-in-law had already been involved in a series of lawsuits.
Looking at Qi Fujin's appearance, he knew that he had been asked about the boxing gift list.
Also, Fucha and Fujin did not enter the palace!
The last time she went to the palace to pay her respects, she was alone. Everyone thought it would become a routine.
Unexpectedly, I didn't come today.
Was it Concubine Hui who spoke?
Or did Wei Bin speak?
Shu Shu felt a little curious in her heart.
When the Queen Mother came out, she brought accurate news.
Princess Shuhui of Bahrain tribe returns to court.
This time the Holy Emperor visited the north, and the Bahrain tribe was on the list of tribes coming to the DPRK.
Princess Rongxian and Prince Consort Heshuo met with the eldest princess and then returned to Beijing with the imperial team.
All the senior concubines were impressed by this eldest princess.
When the Empress Dowager was alive, the eldest princess returned to court several times.
In the twenty-sixth year of Kangxi's reign, when the Empress Dowager was seriously ill, the eldest princess once returned to Beijing to visit her relatives.
He is a kind person and a happy person.
Princess Rongxian was originally begged by the eldest princess herself.
Although the construction of the Princess Villa at the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been started for a month, there is no communication between the former court and the harem.
This was the first time the concubines heard the news.
Concubine Hui sighed: "I haven't seen the eldest princess in more than ten years now, and I don't know how she is doing now."
The Queen Mother lamented: "I heard that there has been a disaster in Bahrain in the past two years, and the people have not been living well. It would be good for the eldest princess to come back and relax."
Concubine Yi said: "Sister Concubine Rong will be happy this time, and the second princess can also stay in Beijing for a longer period of time."
The Queen Mother listened with a smile, but she felt worried.
Others didn't know that the eldest princess was still in court, but the Queen Mother had heard it mentioned by the emperor.
It's just that the eldest princess did not mention that Princess Rongxian and consort Heshuo were also following back to Beijing.
Now I have to follow my grandson and granddaughter-in-law. I think the old man is really not in good health, so the younger generations have to follow him.
The eldest princess is nine years older than herself and is sixty-eight years old this year.
The Queen Mother had a bad feeling...

After the greetings were completed, everyone came out of Ningshou Palace, and the sisters-in-law went to the Second Palace.
When they entered the main room and everyone sat down, Qi Fujin took out a few pieces of paper from his purse and said: "I asked Aunt Wang. These two lists are from the early years of Chun Wang's palace, and the remaining two were sent by Aunt Wang."
I went to Prince Gong’s Mansion to copy..."
This is because Prince Fujin is careful and worried about any changes between the boxing gift list from more than ten years ago and the current one.
Everyone read it and breathed a sigh of relief.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is still mainly about eating.
Moon cakes, seasonal fruits, various pastries and lanterns, etc.
Disposal fee is limited.
It's not that everyone is stingy, but there are three major festivals, including Longevity Festival, Halloween and Spring Festival, and gifts will be given to the palace.
There are several mothers-in-law, and there are also Qianqiu of each mother-in-law.
These are several rounds of rituals.
If the things you pay tribute to are all antiques and treasures, you can't afford to give them away again and again.
Also, the number of gifts here in the palace is the upper limit.
This is the case in the palace, and the etiquette among the elders of the clan is decreasing.
Shi Fujin looked at the crowd and said, "Will I give away my sheep?"
Neither the list of Prince Chun’s Mansion nor the list of Prince Gong’s Mansion includes meat as an item.
Si Fujin and Wu Fujin looked at each other and couldn't make up their minds.
Both of them looked at Shu Shu.
Shu Shu planned to give some fruit before, but it was within the scope of the gift list.
Is this meat?
What is the explanation?
Shu Shu asked: "Can this sheep be kept until winter? If it can be kept, the Mid-Autumn Festival can be followed, and the sheep can be added to the New Year ceremony..."
Shi Fujin shook his head and said: "If we don't prepare so much feed, the sheep will lose weight..."
Shu Shu said: "Then you should discuss it with Brother Ten and see how to deal with it. You can't lose weight in vain. It's a pity."
The Ministry of Internal Affairs also collects sheep here and will settle the fees according to the corresponding price.
But the specifics are not up to the women, and it depends on the opinion of the tenth prince.
If the tenth prince is willing to be a maverick prince fujin, then he doesn't have to follow the crowd.
Shi Fujin himself is different from other prince Fujin.
If the 10th prince doesn't want to stand out, there are other solutions.
Shi Fujin nodded and said: "Well, then I will listen to Master Shi."
Qi Fujin looked at Shu Shu and said: "I didn't know that the Boxing Ceremony was this scope before, and I didn't ask anyone to prepare melons and fruits. Otherwise, I will get watermelons from you this year. I just agreed that it would be calculated according to the current price. If it is free,
, I don’t dare to ask for it…”
Shu Shu waved her hands and said, "How much is a watermelon worth? Sister-in-law Qi, you are too polite."
Qifu Jin said sternly: "Brother, I have to settle the accounts. I have to send people out to buy anyway. Who can I buy from? I have to pay you a favor for dozens of taels of silver. Why don't I owe you a favor?"
Si Fujin, who was standing by, also said: "What you said makes sense, but I don't want to eat it myself. That's not how human relationships work."
Wufu Jin was also worried about the festival etiquette before, so after hearing this, he said: "It can also be included in our house. This will save trouble."
Shi Fujin joined in the fun and said, "There's still me, there's still me, don't let me down."
Shu Shu had no choice but to say: "Follow my sisters-in-law, but it's not like sending watermelons alone. We came back from Hongluo Temple a few days ago and ordered a batch of autumn fruits in Changping Orchard, which are apples and grapes. Sister-in-law
If you need it, just send someone over there to buy it."
The apples and grapes from last time were eaten by Wufujin and Shifujin.
Wu Fujin nodded and said, "The grapes taste good and the apples are crispy."
Shi Fujin asked in confusion: "Then if we all give the same gift, isn't it too heavy? How many watermelons and grapes should the elders receive?"
Si Fujin smiled and explained: "The palace has changed the situation. Watermelons are not given as gifts. They are mainly from the clan and in-laws, as well as the return gifts from the disciples. If it is heavy, it will be heavy."
Shi Fujin was relieved and said: "That's good, if it weren't for the fact that they are all the same, it feels weird."
There are several sisters-in-law at the moment, although there are new wives and old wives, but when it comes to being the master of the family, it won't take long.
Qi Fujin thought of the two princes' mansions and said, "Will we move this year? If there is no jue, how can we calculate the daily supply?"
Shu Shu nodded and said: "It should be moved. It's the same as in the palace, and it follows the rules of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Qi Fujin nodded and said, "That's fine, otherwise, if you lose your salary, you have to support the whole family, which is enough to worry about."
Si Fujin looked at Shu Shu and Shi Fujin with a smile. One of the two siblings was thoughtful, the other was simple and cute. Neither of them were troublesome people. In the future, they would only be closer to each other as neighbors.
Qi Fujin saw Si Fujin's smile and said, "By the way, I just remembered it, and I haven't asked yet. Fourth sister-in-law, why didn't Mrs. Fucha come?"
Si Fujin said helplessly: "I don't know either. I'm not here. Every family is closed and they don't visit each other."
Qi Fujin was extremely curious and said, "Did Concubine Hui's mother speak, or Concubine Wei's mother spoke..."
As she said that, she looked at Shu Shu and said, "What do you think, Shu Shu?"
Shu Shu thought for a while and said: "It shouldn't be Concubine Hui's mother, Concubine Wei's mother, or her own idea..."
Concubine Hui was magnanimous and tolerant in her dealings. Even if the Fucha family was beheaded first and then paid tribute when they came to the palace, which made her unhappy, for the sake of the Eighth Prince, Fucha family would not be harmed.
On the contrary, Concubine Wei is more confident since she is her biological son after all.
After Qi Fujin heard this, he thought deeply and said: "Yes, both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are smart!"
Click till then.
But without such a person, everyone felt much more at ease, otherwise they would have been embarrassed and didn't know how to measure it.
After a while, everyone dispersed.
It was agreed that at the end of the month, they would send someone from the family to pull watermelons from Shu Shu's watermelon patch.
Shu Shu also didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
It was originally a small village with poor land and no hope of making any profit. Unexpectedly, it was about to open.
She took Shifujin and two others to the entrance of the corridor, and then watched them leave.
Shi Fujin felt that he had learned something, and said: "Sister-in-law Jiu, don't you own a restaurant? Then can I sell the sheep to you?"
Shu Shu smiled and nodded: "Yes!"
It happens to be autumn, so you can have hot pot.
Shi Fujin said with a smile: "Then I will write to Ehe later and ask Qili to bring cattle when he comes again at the end of the year. Our yellow beef is delicious and there is no taboo on slaughtering it. Then Sister-in-law Jiu will make beef jerky."
Or beef jerky, you can eat it all the time..."
Shu Shu smiled and nodded: "The relationship is good, the more the merrier. I will give you the jewelry later to thank you..."
