When they heard that Shu Shu was pregnant with twins, Brother Jiu had the same reaction as Shu Shu, not happy but surprised.
"Okay, why are there only two?"
Brother Jiu couldn't help but raised his voice and said anxiously: "With such a big belly, it is difficult to pretend to be a child. What will happen to two of them? Who can bear it?"
Doctor Jiang hurriedly comforted him: "This is a celebration of accumulated good deeds, and blessings will reach you..."
Brother Jiu held Shu Shu's arm and ignored Dr. Jiang's chatter. He looked at her face and asked with concern: "Are you tired from sitting? Does your back hurt when you press it?"
He already regretted it in his heart and said: "It's all my fault. I shouldn't be greedy!"
Everyone: "..."
Shu Shu, on the other hand, had been husband and wife with him for a year and a half, and somewhat understood Brother Jiu's thinking, and said with a smile: "It's just a coincidence, it has nothing to do with it."
Brother Ninth Brother regretted it and became frightened, saying: "Fortunately, only two clumps of bamboo were dug in the first batch. If there were four or five clumps..."
Shu Shu couldn't help but glanced at him.
Talk nonsense.
Are you a pig?
Four or five?!
Only then did Mrs. Bo and Dr. Jiang realize that they were talking about bamboo.
Mrs. Bo thought about it and later transplanted several clumps. If they were planted in the descendants, they would really flourish.
It is said that a daughter is like a mother, so it doesn't seem surprising, but Madam Uncle has not experienced the pain of giving birth one after another, but she has seen it from beginning to end.
If Shushu Ani hadn't been treated well later, and I did double confinement after giving birth to Xiaoqi, I don't know what would have happened.
Mrs. Bo made a mental note to persuade Shu Shu to use birth control after the birth of this baby, and she would have to raise the baby for two or three years before having another baby.
Like Shushuane, having five children in nine years is really too dense.
Shu Shu is now three months pregnant and there is no need to hide it from the public.
Brother Jiu couldn't wait any longer. Seeing that Shu Shu was fine, he immediately went to the palace.
In addition to announcing the good news, I also asked for an order to keep Imperial Physician Jiang on duty in the Prince's Mansion instead of asking for Ping Anmai twice every ten days like now.
These are three treasures, no matter how expensive they are, they deserve it.
If something happened to Fujin, he would feel that his life would be meaningless.
Shu Shu remembered that she hadn't paid her respects to the palace for a long time.
On her birthday, the Queen Mother and Concubine Yi had sent people out. She had planned to enter the palace after three months to express her gratitude.
Now that she has found twins, she can only take care of the fetuses more carefully. It is not good to follow her sisters-in-law to the palace to pay their respects, otherwise it will make the elders worried.
But you can also announce the good news.
She sent people to Wubeile Mansion to see Wufujin, mentioned the matter, and wanted to ask Wufujin to bring her people with her when he enters the palace tomorrow.
Tomorrow is October 25th, the day when Prince Fujin enters the palace to pay his respects.
Wufujin got the news and came over in person without any delay.
It was not to bring someone into the palace to pay her respects, but to hear that she was pregnant with twins, which made her a little uneasy.
Shu Shu was once again in a state where she had just found out she was pregnant, and was treated like a spoiled baby.
Everyone wanted to stare at her with wide eyes, for fear that she would be tired.
Shu Shu was bored. Hearing that Wufu Jin was coming, he was so happy that he wanted to go out to welcome him, but everyone persuaded him not to do so.
When Wufujin came in, he saw Shu Shu with a helpless face.
"What's going on here?"
Wu Fujin asked with concern.
Shu Shu glanced at Madam Uncle and Aunt Qi with resentment.
Perhaps the scariest thing in the world is the unknown.
People who have really experienced childbirth will regard pregnancy as ordinary.
Neither of these two elders had ever experienced childbirth, so they took it as a big deal.
Mrs. Bo explained from the side: "I had to go to meet Fujin in person, but we stopped me and I wasn't happy..."
Wu Fujin also showed disapproval, looked at Shu Shu and said: "It's not easy to be careless at this time. Not to mention that I am not a foreigner. Even if I am a stranger, I don't need you to greet me."
Shu Shu smiled and said: "I also want to get some fresh air. I can't stay bored in the house all day."
Wu Fujin said: "It's noon, when it's warm outside, I go out for a walk, but now it's windy..."
While my sister-in-law was talking, Mrs. Bo went back to Ning'an Hall first, and Aunt Qi also went back to the back room.
Shu Shu pulled Wu Fujin and said: "I have to trouble Sister-in-law Wu again. Today the imperial doctor diagnosed twins. Our father hurried to the palace in a hurry. I'm afraid that the empress and the emperor's grandmother will become worried after hearing a few words.
, I just wanted to ask grandma to come over and say hello to me."
Wufu Jin said: "You're welcome, it's time to report it, so that the elders can feel at ease."
Wufujin was a favor here, and the palace had to make a report, so Shu Shu sent Zhou Song to take the ninth brother's post and go to the guard office.
Shu Shu saw Wu Fujin's sincere concern, and was more considerate of her situation, and whispered: "Our master is afraid of fear first. Fortunately, the bamboos moved from Hongluo Temple were only two clumps. Otherwise, something big would have happened. It was also a coincidence.
Yeah, who thought they would be twins..."
After hearing this, Wu Fujin smiled and said: "It seems to be a good omen, and it happens to be here."
Shu Shu said: "Now that I think about it, before we went to offer incense, our father was very pious and fasted for half a month..."
Actually there isn't.
It's just that Shu Shu remembered a saying that couples who stick together are less likely to conceive, but those who are intimate like visiting relatives are more likely to conceive.
There is a certain scientific explanation for this.
Shu Shu couldn't tell her uncle's sexual affairs directly, so she made indirect remarks.
Wufujin understood in his mind, Xiafei raised his cheeks and said, "I really need to go to Hongluo Temple as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to grab all the bamboo..."
The clan is short of sons, but there are plenty of them.
Others don't need to pay too much attention to it, but Prince Zhuang has a high status and seniority. After getting the news, he will definitely ask for a son.
After hearing this, Shu Shu hurriedly said: "This ineffective one needs to be separated. Prince Zhuang Xu is the perfect match for a daughter."
Prince Zhuang is several years older than Kangxi. He has turned fifty this year. He has been seeking a son for more than thirty years. The concubines in the mansion are all chosen according to the appearance of men. However, he has only added two concubines in these years.
.
Shu Shu was afraid that Prince Zhuang's request for a child would not be successful and the myth of Hongluo Temple's request for a child would be shattered.
Wu Fujin smiled peacefully, patted Shu Shu's hand and said: "In this world, the fate of children is unclear. Some come early and some come late. Having Hong Sheng in our house is also a good thing for me..."
If it hadn't been for Hongsheng, she would have been silent for three years, so I don't know how many more princesses she would have received in the future.
No matter how kind the Empress Dowager is, she still loves the fifth elder brother, and she will not sit back and watch as the Fifth Beile Mansion has no son.
Shu Shu likes Wu Fujin's open-mindedness very much.
That's the way it is. With their status, it's a good thing to have biological children. If they don't have biological children, they have to be more thoughtful.
Sometimes no one makes things difficult for you, but you make things difficult for yourself...

Outside Qianqing Palace.
Brother Ninth has been waiting for a long time. Princess Rongxian has entered the palace and is currently meeting her.
Brother Jiu calculated the dates in his mind and concluded that Princess Rongxian's entry into the palace this time should be related to the trip of the eldest princess.
The eldest princess wants to go to the imperial mausoleum, which is a round trip of six hundred miles.
If we travel slowly, it will take ten days one way.
It's freezing cold in the twelfth lunar month and it's difficult to travel, so we should make the round trip before the end of November, and we'll set off at the beginning of next month at the latest.
From September to October, one Alantai and one Li Tianfu were both known to the ninth elder brother, and they were several years younger than the eldest princess.
Brother Ninth felt depressed and a little bit lucky.
Fortunately, a relative I don’t know very well is old...
If it were his own Khan Ama and his mother-in-law, he wouldn't even dare to think about it...
While he was in a daze, Liang Jiugong came out and said, "Master Jiu, where is the emperor's biography..."
Brother Jiu asked curiously: "Second sister is out?"
Why didn't he see anyone?
Liang Jiugong said: "The second princess is still here."
Brother Jiu nodded and followed Liang Jiugong in.
Kangxi was wearing brand new sapphire blue uniforms, which were different from what he usually wore. There were swastika patterns embroidered on the clothes, which made them look more refined and looser than usual.
Princess Rongxian gave her a chair, and she was leaning sideways while the father and daughter talked.
Seeing Brother Jiu come in, Princess Rongxian nodded.
With this eldest sister here, the ninth elder brother was much more well-behaved and honestly presented gifts to Kangxi and the princess.
Kangxi was a little surprised when he saw that he was pretending, and said: "Why are you here again?"
Didn't we just summon him in the afternoon?
Brother Jiu said: "My son has come to announce the good news to Khan Amma. Today, Dr. Jiang went to check for Ping'an pulse on his son Fujin, and the result was that he was twins!"
Kangxi was really happy after hearing this and said: "Are you sure? Are they really twins?"
Since ancient times, the royal family has had twins, which are said to be the result of good deeds and "the auspiciousness of twin births."
In the imperial and vassal houses of the previous dynasty, the joy of twins was often recorded.
On the other hand, the Qing Dynasty clan has only had one twin pregnancy so far, which occurred in Prince An's Mansion. Prince An He and his third successor, Hesheli of Fujin, gave birth to twins in the ninth year of Kangxi, namely Yunduan, the eighteenth son of Wang, and Yunduan, the nineteenth daughter of Wang.
County Lord.
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "It is indeed twins. My son is not sure. In addition to coming to announce the good news, he also wants to ask Khan Ama for a decree. Before his son Fujin is born, he wants to keep Dr. Jiang at the house on night duty."
After hearing this, Kangxi said solemnly, "You should be more careful. Besides Imperial Physician Jiang, you can choose another person to work at the Prince's Mansion."
Now there are no concubines in the harem to give birth, and there is no need for imperial doctors who are good at gynecology to keep an eye on them.
Brother Jiu said happily: "Thank you Khan Ama, my son is relieved, otherwise he would be really worried."
Why are twins so valuable?
That's because many women who are pregnant with twins are unable to give birth to twins, or both mother and child die, or they barely give birth to only one child.
In that case, not only is it not a good omen, it is also a pity.
Princess Rongxian was listening. Seeing that Ninth Brother was worried, she comforted her: "My younger brother and sister are from a general family, and their bodies look strong. I hope that mother and son are safe. Ninth Brother doesn't need to worry."
Brother Jiu sighed and said: "My younger brother also knows this truth, but caring about it will lead to chaos. I don't dare to rest assured until Fujin gives birth safely!"
Speaking of this, he said with a complaint in his tone: "They are all unfilial sons, why don't they come one by one?"
Kangxi glanced at him and was speechless when he saw that he was not just being obedient because he was getting an advantage, but that he really thought so.
I worry unfounded and blindly all day long.
Dong E's biological mother was in her forties, and she and her son were still safe. Dong E was so young and could draw a ten-strength bow, so what was there to worry about?
