When he arrived at the palace gate, Brother Jiu noticed something different.
It seems that the guard's posture is more upright.
Did Shengjia return to Luan so soon?
That should be ashore, and it won't be so fast to come back by boat.
Brother Twelve is already here, and so is Gao Bin.
After meeting Brother Jiu, Gao Bin said: "Master Jiu, the Holy Emperor entered the palace a quarter of an hour ago..."
Brother Jiu nodded: "Well..."
Having said this, he remembered his trip to Changping and said: "The Queen Mother is going to Changping, you should come with us..."
Gao Bin agreed.
The twelfth elder brother was standing quietly, feeling a little moved at the moment. He looked at the ninth elder brother and said, "Ninth elder brother..."
Brother Jiu looked over and saw his eager eyes, so he smiled and said, "What? You want to go too?"
The twelfth elder brother nodded hastily.
Now that he has reached adulthood, it stands to reason that he should be able to make his own decisions when entering and leaving the palace.
But when the prince travels alone, who dares to let him go?
You must first go to the guard office to report, and they will arrange for the guards and escorts to come down before you can leave the palace.
Once this happens, there will always be a reason to leave the palace.
The twelfth prince never left the palace without any suitable reason.
The ninth elder brother said to the twelfth elder brother: "Don't keep silent like a piece of wood. Children who cry will have milk to eat. If you want to go, just tell me."
The twelfth elder brother said: "I want to go!"
The way he cherishes his words like gold is comparable to that of the Seventh Prince.
Brother Jiu shook his head mercilessly and said: "Next time!"
The twelfth elder brother was very disappointed and felt a little resentful.
Brother Jiu then said: "Forget it this time, you will have to compete with the clan examination for a day. Then you can practice archery and show off those clan dudes who are not up to par!"
The age range for this clan assessment is from sixteen to twenty years old, not only the ninth and tenth elder brothers are among them, but also the twelfth elder brother.
The twelfth elder brother's eyes widened after hearing this.
Go to Changping on the day of the exam?
Isn't this skipping the exam?
Brother Jiu coughed slightly and returned to his seat.
Gao Bin understood what was happening and couldn't help but chuckle.
Brother Jiu glanced at him and said: "It seems that we should talk to Fujin and carefully select from the left-collar children in the house. If there is a promising one, it happens to be the girl next to her, and she will be the imperial wife!"
Gao Bin's smile froze, and he immediately raised his hands in prayer.
"snort!"
Brother Jiu then sat down and started handling today's official duties.
*
Ninth Prince's Mansion, Shangfang.
Madam Bo and Jue Luo are both here.
Jueluo Shi had already asked people to inquire around, and said: "I heard that the prime minister's wife has a good temper and treats her daughters-in-law kindly. The second daughter-in-law has been married for more than ten years and has no children, and she has never interfered. She is also kind to her concubine.
Nowadays, apart from the eldest son who is an official in the capital and the second son who is preparing for Chunwei, the only ones under Cheng Huan's knees in the capital are the concubines..."
The uncle said: "It's rare."
However, the youngest son, who is younger than the eldest grandson, really has nothing to care about.
Shu Shu knew better and said: "The younger one is only eight years old this year. The younger one should be sent back in two years. Their children were initiated in the capital and taught the rules, and they were all sent back to the old family to learn.
, The Zhang family is a scholarly family that has been around for several generations. There are seven brothers of Prime Minister Zhang’s generation..."
Jueluo Shi nodded and said, "That's fine."
If there is a swarm of swarms in the capital, those who are successful will not have to worry about it, but those who are not successful will still have to worry about it.
If one passes the exam and the other goes to Beijing, they will all stand up.
Otherwise, there is no telling whether the imperial examination will be ups and downs. When Zhang Xiang takes office, the Zhang family will be an ordinary family, and there is no doubt that there will be trouble for Fusong.
Today, in addition to Jue Luo Shi, Fu Song will also accompany him.
It is estimated that at the beginning of the year, Jueluo took Fusong and left the prince's mansion.
Shu Shu couldn't help but complain to Mrs. Bo: "It's not comfortable to be a mother-in-law. This son is raised by someone else."
Mrs. Bo glanced at her belly and said, "How are you, mother-in-law? It's all the same, so I should look away as soon as possible and cherish myself more. Don't be like others and just stick to the child after giving birth."
Shu Shu smiled and looked down at her stomach.
It's getting tighter and tighter, and it's uncomfortable to fall down.
The legendary floating belly?
She waved her hand and sent Xiao Chun and Walnut away. Then she held Madam Bo's arm, leaned into her ear, and whispered: "Ah Mou, if it's two elder brothers this time, I don't want to have another child..."
This is a question that Shu Shu has been thinking about since entering the third trimester of pregnancy.
I just couldn't tell anyone else.
After all, in the eyes of the world today, having more children means you are blessed, and being able to have children is a blessing.
Mrs. Bo stroked her back and said, "Don't be afraid. It's just the first time you feel uncomfortable. It's twins again, so you feel uneasy. You'll feel better after the second time after a few years of good health."
If there were princesses and concubines in the prince's palace, Madam Bo would not be nagging about these things.
But since the young couple couldn't tolerate others, the two children were a bit weak.
It's not easy to raise a child nowadays. If you really want to have someone to cry, you won't have anywhere to cry.
When Shu Shu gets old and can no longer have children, the palace will not watch in vain.
Shu Shu hugged Mrs. Bo's arm and sighed.
Anyway, she planned to try the safe period contraceptive method after giving birth. Otherwise, if she got it, she would go crazy.
The feeling of being a mother is very magical. On the one hand, I feel that I am very powerful and can actually give birth to a baby. I have a sense of expectation of opening a blind box. On the other hand, I have hidden regrets and disgust. I feel aggrieved, as if I have become a container and it has affected myself.
rhythm of life.
Or this is the selfishness of human nature.
I don’t know how deep maternal love is needed to overcome this.
Thinking of this, her eye circles turned red again.
Mrs. Bo felt very distressed and said hurriedly: "Don't cry, don't cry. If you don't want to give birth, you won't give birth. We will wait until a few years later when you are happy to give birth..."
Shu Shu leaned against Madam Uncle and could only smile bitterly.
There are no secrets in this world.
Just like the Zhaojia princess in their house is a decoration, it can't be hidden from the outside world, but it can't be hidden from the emperor and Yikun palace.
She and Brother Jiu are husband and wife, and they love each other so no one will question them.
But if she doesn't want to have children, things will become subtle, and the current peace and beauty may not exist.
But that was a long time ago.
When the ninth elder brother is in his thirties, if he still has few heirs, the palace will probably interfere and reward the beautiful daughter of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Twelve years...
Shu Shu lowered his head and glanced at his stomach. If he could deal with two of them this time, it would be just right to do it again in five or eight years...

In the carriage, Fusong and Jueluo were talking.
"Madam is also from a scholarly family. She is a member of the late Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice. She became a member of the Zhang family at the age of thirteen. She gave birth to a boy at the age of fifteen. She is now in her sixties..."
Mr. Jueluo listened, as for this lady, it was also considered as news in the early years, that she gave birth to a son at the age of fifty.
Before that, they had given birth to five sons and four daughters. Except for one son who died in infancy, all the others were born.
With the addition of this old man, it is perfect.
A lot of people say mean things.
But as long as she is the legitimate wife and married woman, she is still more envious.
"The Yao family and the Zhang family are township parties, and they have married several times over the years. The second son of Prime Minister Zhang married the youngest daughter of the Minister of Punishment. The eldest daughter of Prime Minister Zhang also belongs to the Yao family, and Xu married his uncle's cousin; the third daughter is also from another Yao branch.
His son; when it comes to the junior generation, Xueshi Zhang’s second son is also a cousin, but he has not yet been married..."
Speaking of this, Fusong did not hide the reason why Zhang Tingzhan chose a son-in-law for his sister in the capital, saying: "The second girl in the middle was also promised to the old Tongcheng clan, the Fang family of Prime Minister Zhang's mother's family. As a result, twenty years later, the eldest uncle and the second uncle
The people in Tongcheng are simple and honest, unlike the capital city. They respect Confucianism and etiquette, and there are books everywhere. Women regard virtuous and filial piety as their duty, and they lead a miserable life..."
Jueluo sighed and said: "Elder brother is like father, no more than that. From now on, you must respect Bachelor Zhang well."
Zhang Ying is the only one in the capital who chooses a mate for his children.
If it were any other person, they would all be ministers, and the marriage of their children would have to be based on the best.
In that case, the daughter-in-law will be fine, but the daughter will not be fine in the future.
They all got married in the same hometown, and they will all be in front of each other from now on, and the brothers and sisters can take care of each other.
While the mother and son were talking, the carriage entered Xi'an Gate and arrived at Zhang House.
The carriages in the uncle's house are all regulated.
Black shaft wheel, green cover, green edges at four corners, soap curtain.
When the porter saw the carriage, he knew it was the carriage of Madam Marquis or Madame Bo, and immediately sent someone to report it inside.
Mrs. Yao had been waiting for a long time. After receiving the message, she brought her eldest daughter-in-law and came out to welcome her.
Mr. Jueluo was also supported by Fusong and got off the carriage.
When Mrs. Yao came forward, she knelt down and said blessing: "I, Mr. Zhangmen Yao, have met Mrs. Uncle..."
She used clear language.
It may be said that they are following the locals, or that they are aware of current affairs. After all, the world is under the Qing Dynasty. They live in the imperial city and are surrounded by bannermen.
Mr. Jueluo stopped him quickly and said in Chinese: "You are too polite, you don't have to be like this."
After hearing this, Mrs. Yao also changed her Chinese language.
Then, Mrs. Yao introduced the eldest daughter-in-law to Jueluo and said, "This is my eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Gu..."
Zhang Tingzhan's wife died of illness in his early years, and his current stepmother is the daughter of his predecessor in the Hanlin Academy.
Mrs. Gu also congratulated Mrs. Jueluo, and Mrs. Jueluo helped her up and said, "My lord, please rise..."
Fusong didn't see Gu last time, and this was the first time he met her.
No wonder Zhang Tingzhan is also thinking about having a son. This step-in-law is not too young, he is estimated to be in his thirties.
"Fu Matsu has met Kyouto..."
Fu Song also handed over his hand as a courtesy.
Mrs. Gu looked at Fusong with kindness on her face.
When she got married, her two stepsons had already been sent back to their hometown in Tongcheng to study. My wife did the housework, and she took care of most of my sister-in-law.
Looking at Fu Song now, I feel a bit like looking at my son-in-law.
The group of people entered Zhang's house.
This time I mainly wanted to see the fourth girl.
After the guests and hosts were seated, Mrs. Yao ordered the four girls to come in.
Jueluo fell in love with her as soon as she saw her figure and appearance.
Mrs. Yao is here at this age. Even though she looks young, her youth is gone.
Here at Fourth Girl, it is the time when the green onions are tender and the water is tender.
Jueluo Shi took hold of the fourth girl and was reluctant to let go, saying: "Looking at the fourth girl, it's like looking at my little aunt. I guess she loves reading, right?"
The fourth girl nodded shyly and said, "Does Fujin also like reading?"
Jue Luo Shi smiled and said: "I have been a little person since I was a child. I have no other hobbies except reading. I am like a little teacher. Fusong and the others were all taught by their elder sister."
The fourth girl smiled and felt relieved.
Although the Eight Banners have been promoting Confucianism in recent years, this is due to the officials. I heard that many women can't even speak Chinese, let alone Chinese.
The Dong E family is different.
Jueluo took off the red coral blessing bracelet from her wrist, put it on the fourth girl, and said: "Not only does Sister Fusong love reading, but the girl that Brother Fusong mentioned also loves reading. Now that you two sisters have met, it's just right."
Learn poetry and paint as a companion to pass the time..."
The fourth girl listened with a little yearning.
Ever since she landed, the Zhang family has become a distinguished family, and there are no friends of the same age to interact with.
When she heard that there was a boudoir girl who had the same preferences as hers, she was more interested than when she met Brother Fusong.
Mrs. Yao herself was a talented woman. She couldn't listen to those words that "a woman's lack of talent is a virtue", and she was not modest. Instead, she continued: "If you have a good relationship, you can't stay behind closed doors. You should also learn more from others and gain experience."
Talented women of the Eight Banners..."
As a woman, Mrs. Yao also envied the life of the Eight Banners women.
Before you leave the court, you are wanton. After you leave the court, you only need to have a decent family and a straight back.
She also likes to write poems and articles, but the manuscripts are kept in boxes.
You can only take it out when your husband returns home after his official career and you no longer have to worry about material issues.
Women from the Eight Banners don't have so many scruples. A family is divided. They are all the real matrons of the family. They are two families. They don't interfere with each other, let alone their cousins. They have no control at all. They can print it if they want.
