Chapter 702: You pamper me, I pamper you (Thanks to the leader, May Xiutian
"Additional updates)
After a while, Concubine Hui arrived, bringing with her the Seven Fortunes and the nobles from Yanxi Palace.
Except for a few concubines, everyone got up.
When Concubine Hui sat down, Shu Shu and San Fujin also sat down.
Qi Fujin looked across from him and reacted immediately. He smiled more and winked at Shu Shu.
At this moment, the Crown Princess and Shi Fujin helped the Queen Mother out.
The eldest princess and princess Rongxian followed behind.
Everyone stood up again to greet him.
There are two chairs placed to the right of the Queen Mother's seat.
From the looks of it, it should be prepared for the eldest princess and princess Rongxian.
The Queen Mother looked at the standing Guarjia family and said to Aunt Bai: "Ask someone to move a seat for Guarjia..."
The concubines will be registered tomorrow, there is no need for them to still be standing today.
At such a young age, it is rare for him to serve the emperor so carefully.
The noble man Guarja bowed his knees and thanked me.
The Queen Mother glanced at the Crown Princess and the other Fujins again, and said, "I'll give them a seat, too, for my sisters-in-law."
After a while, the Crown Princess and all the Fujins also took their seats.
The Crown Princess sat directly under the eldest princess to accompany her.
Shi Fujin was kept by Princess Rongxian.
The queen mother did not inquire about palace affairs with the fourth concubine as usual, but looked at the eldest princess with a smile and said: "Sister, look at these children, how many do you remember?"
The "children" here are not the nieces and nephews like Shu Shu, but the concubines in the harem.
The eldest princess looked at everyone with a loving face, her eyes mainly turning on the faces of the sitting concubines.
She stayed in the palace for more than half a year during her twenty-sixth year, and most of the concubines still remembered it.
There are only two strangers at the bottom.
The eldest princess said truthfully: "Concubine Hui and the other girls really remember her. The concubines are also the same as before, but the two at the bottom are probably younger and look strange..."
This is about Wei and Zhang.
The six concubines all stood up and gave blessings to the eldest princess, and Concubine Tong was no exception.
Although she entered the palace in the 29th year, before that, she often accompanied the duchess and his wife to the palace to pay their respects and met the eldest princess.
Afterwards, the third concubine also stood up and gave the eldest princess a blessing.
The Queen Mother pointed to the concubine Wei and said: "This is the eighth prince's mother-in-law..."
Then, she pointed at Zhang Bin and said: "This is Thirteenth Brother, Thirteenth Gege and Fifteenth Gege's E Niang..."
When the eldest princess saw them, she knew that these two "had merit in giving birth to children."
Although Concubine Duan was dismissed, Concubine Wei probably forgot about this when she sat down today, and did not move forward one by one, but still sat in her old position.
Zhang Concubine had no choice but to follow her.
Therefore, a chair was clearly vacant.
When the eldest princess saw it, she took a look at it twice, and she understood something in her heart. She asked the Queen Mother, "I don't see my concubine. Is this because she is sick?"
The Dong family belongs to the Empress Dowager, and Duan concubine was selected by the Empress Dowager, and she is also one of the old concubines.
It's just that her stomach is not up to par and she has no prince, so she lags behind the fourth concubine.
When the eldest princess returned to the palace to attend to her illness, concubine Duan often went to Cining Palace to pay her respects.
The Queen Mother's expression remained unchanged and she said: "She had a bad temper and beat and scolded the palace people. The Emperor asked them to move out..."
The eldest princess nodded and said: "That can't be kept. There are so many people in the palace, and if they all make trouble, the emperor will have a headache."
The Queen Mother called to Guarja again: "My child, come forward..."
The nobleman Guarja got up, walked slowly, and came closer.
The Queen Mother said to the eldest princess: "This child has not been in the palace for a long time, but his temperament is demure and cautious. But according to the emperor's wishes, he has already prepared to be a concubine."
The eldest princess looked at him carefully and said with a smile: "He is a good boy."
When the noble Guarja retired and took his seat, it was the turn of the younger generation.
Needless to say, the Crown Princess and Shi Fujin arrived at Ningshou Palace first and had already greeted the eldest princess.
The Queen Mother first called San Fujin, and also told the eldest princess San Fujin's identity.
San Fujin smiled and said: "Greetings to my aunt..."
The eldest princess also laughed after hearing this.
Although the concubine in the harem just now can be said to be her niece-in-law, it cannot be said that way.
In the emperor's harem, one can only talk about superiority and inferiority, not seniority.
The younger generation is fine.
This is her grand-nephew and the biological sister-in-law of Princess Rongxian.
The eldest princess said: "He is a blessed child and deserves a reward..."
I have given birth to two legitimate sons, and I am still pregnant. The children are so smooth, and they have a decent background and good looks. I am really blessed.
There was already a grandma waiting nearby with a brocade box in her arms.
Princess Rongxian took it herself and handed it to Sanfujin.
San Fujin took it with both hands and said to the eldest princess: "Thank you, my aunt, for the reward. When my granddaughter-in-law gives birth, I will take the little one to kowtow to you."
The eldest princess smiled and said: "Okay, okay, great-aunt is waiting!"
When San Fujin returned, the Queen Mother called Si Fujin forward and said: "This is Si Age's wife, Fei Yanggu's old daughter, and she is the princess of the Murhu family..."
The Sifu Jin family are descendants of the Lord of Ula, but they are not a direct branch of the family, but a branch.
At that time, her grandfather brought his clan members back from the early days of the country and joined the Zhenghuang Banner.
She, Amma, was young at the time and was raised in the inner court. She had a very close relationship with the royal family. She was the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs during the reign of Emperor Shizu and the first commander of the infantry army in this dynasty.
The eldest princess also knew her Ama, and with a warm look on her face, she said: "He is a steady and honest child, and it looks like her Ama's character."
When they arrived at Wufujin, the Queen Mother said with a smile: "This is the fifth daughter-in-law. The emperor and I personally selected her. How about taking a look, sister?"
The eldest princess called Wu Fujin forward, took her hand, looked at her again and again, and praised: "He is a generous and delicate child. He and our fifth brother are a match made in heaven."
The fifth elder brother looked honest, this child was a good wife, and he was a smart wife accompanying a poor husband.
The Queen Mother smiled heartily and said: "I am the most filial and considerate in everything. With her by my side, I have nothing to worry about."
The eldest princess said: "My queen is so lucky, my fifth elder brother is so lucky."
When they arrived at Qifujin, the Queen Mother said: "This is the seventh brother's daughter-in-law. She was also personally chosen by the emperor. She is the eldest daughter of the Hadanara family. She is also a kind and careful child."
Of course the eldest princess knew that the seventh elder brother was ill, and she also knew that the seventh elder brother would support Prince Chun Fujin in the future.
She nodded and said: "Your Majesty is kind and loving. The Fu Jin you chose among the elder brothers is all outstanding. The seventh elder brother is very lucky."
When Shu Shu came forward, the Queen Mother pulled her and said to the eldest princess: "This is the ninth elder brother Fu Jin, who is also my little cotton-padded jacket. In the past two years, most of the things I eat, drink and play have come from her."
!”
The eldest princess laughed when she heard this and said, "Your Majesty, you are so kind. You are treating your grandson-in-law as your granddaughter."
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "There is nothing we can do. Who says 'eating people is soft-spoken and taking advantage of others is short-handed'? Even the dental cards we played yesterday were all due to the filial piety of this child..."
The eldest princess looked at Shu Shu, her face becoming warmer and warmer.
If I wasn't truly filial, I wouldn't be so considerate.
She praised Shu Shu: "Good boy, you work hard."
Shu Shu showed a bit of shyness and said: "The imperial grandmother is tolerant, our empress is indulgent, and the sisters-in-law are friendly, so that the grandson's daughter-in-law can be as greedy and playful as she was in her parents' family."
Because Shi Fujin was someone she had met before, by the time she met Shu Shu, the eldest princess knew all about the junior Fujin.
Everyone gets a meeting gift, impartially.
Here in Ningshou Palace, the Queen Mother left the Sixth Concubine to talk to the eldest princess, while the others dispersed.
Sanfujin also used the chariot, came out and said to his sisters-in-law, then got on the chariot and left the palace.
Qi Fujin took Shu Shu's hand and was so happy that he couldn't see his eyes: "What a happy event. The incense from Hongluo Temple is really effective!"
Shu Shu reminded: "The Hongluo Temple on the left and right is there. Even if the seventh sister-in-law wants to go there to pray, there is no need to rush."
It was less than half a year after she gave birth, and she was injured at the time, so it was not appropriate to give birth frequently.
Qi Fujin nodded and said: "Don't worry, I won't imitate the elder sister-in-law..."
As she said that, she looked at Si Fujin and Wu Fujin and said: "You two sisters-in-law can go and have a look. If you have dates or not, let's take a shot first. Later, when the news of Shu Shu's pregnancy spreads, I guess there will be a queue to ask for a child."
Got it!"
What are the real secrets in the palace?
It's just that no one dared to ask in front of Brother Jiu and Shu Shu.
As for Brother Jiu's health, the clan members would have known about it for a long time.
Otherwise, it is normal for young couples to be in trouble all day long, so why should they give the credit to Buddha?
Originally, everyone thought that the Ninth Brother and his wife would also have an heir in the future.
No one cares about the position of heir, after all, there is still the fifth elder brother from the same mother.
In the royal family, there are so many childless wives?
There is no shortage of people like Prince Zhuang's Mansion, who spent half his life looking for a son but only wanted two qualified ones.
With the precedent of Jiu Age and his wife, Hongluo Temple will set off a wave of children seeking children.
Si Fujin laughed and said, "I already have Honghui, why should I join in the fun?"
Qifu Jin said: "What's the matter? If you ask for Gege, you will have both children, and if you ask for an elder brother, Honghui will also have an arm in the future. Brothers are different after all. Look at Fifth Master, he doesn't care much about other things.
But when it comes to things related to Lao Jiu, he looks like an older brother..."
Si Fujin nodded and said: "Well, then I will go back and discuss it with our father."
Wufujin remembered what Shu Shu reminded him before and said: "I also listen to our master..."
Qi Fujin raised his eyebrows and whispered: "It's not wrong to be virtuous, but sometimes you can't be too virtuous, and you have to control what you need to do. Men are like children, and they can't be used to it. Otherwise, they should slap their noses in their faces!"
Sifujin: "..."
Wufujin: "..."
Both of them looked at Shu Shu in unison.
There is someone here who manages men as well as children.
Shu Shu smiled and said: "I treat Master Jiu as a child, and Master Jiu also treats me as a child. Isn't it nice to dote on each other? Once you get used to being pampered, you won't be able to let go of being annoyed. If there's anything to be unhappy about, a few nice words are enough.
Just smooth it out..."
Shi Fujin was standing by and said with admiration: "Sister-in-law Ninth said very well. I also want to pamper Master Shi as a child, but I am not as sensible as Master Ten. He is the one who dotes on me..."
