Chapter 947: Loss of work and rest (monthly ticket)
Ningshou Palace, East Chamber.
In addition to the Queen Mother, the Crown Princess and Shi Fujin were also there.
Since it was a festival, the Queen Mother asked her elder brother what he was doing.
Now besides the prince, my elder brother also has three young grandsons and a county prince.
"Did you ask someone to deliver the rice dumplings this morning? We have to go to the garden tomorrow, and the carriage needs to be arranged. Don't make it a mess and wrong the children." asked the Queen Mother.
The princess said: "I asked someone to deliver them. They were all small rice dumplings made by the dining room. They were not much bigger than a thumb, so that the emperor and the prince would not be able to eat them. This time they were moved to the North Garden and placed in the fourth place by the pool.
, The fifteenth elder brother is in the same place, the sixteenth elder brother is in the same place, Hongyu elder brother and Hongqing elder brother are in the same place, Hongsheng elder brother is in the same place as Pingjun Wang..."
"Where are the thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers? Why are the brothers so crowded that they have no room?" The Queen Mother asked, sensing something was wrong.
If I really neglect these two, not only will the emperor be unhappy, but also because of Concubine Min and Concubine De's dignity, I'm afraid they will complain about the Crown Princess.
The Crown Princess smiled and said: "The Thirteenth Uncle and the Fourteenth Uncle came to see my grandson-in-law a few days ago. They said that they had already asked for the decree from the emperor. Now that they are older, they will no longer live in the West Garden this year and will live next to the Ninth Uncle.
Uncle Ten and the others are going to stay at Beiliu Suo..."
Of course the Queen Mother knew where Beiliu was, just outside the east gate of the North Garden.
The old lady couldn't help but laugh and said: "These two little brothers are greedy. They are thinking about the food at Lao Jiu and his family."
The princess said: "Who doesn't care about it? Apart from other things, the watermelon grown by my brother and sister Zhuangzi is more delicious than the one grown in Huangzhuang."
The Queen Mother also loves watermelon. She remembered what Shu Shu mentioned last year and said with anticipation: "This year we will not only have watermelon, but also cantaloupe. It should be at the end of May or early June."
Shi Fujin was standing by and said: "Sister-in-law Jiu also asked people to raise cattle, deer and sheep on the village. When they arrived in Haidian, they asked people to send live sheep over to grill the lamb chops."
The Queen Mother also likes to eat mutton, especially the fat and thin mutton chops. She said: "I will also go there to eat..."
The people outside had almost arrived, and the grandparents and grandchildren stopped talking and went out.
In the little sister-in-law's house, Sifujin and Wufujin are not there, leaving only Sanfujin, Qifuxin, Eighth Fujin, Shushu and Tenfujin.
There are small stools behind each concubine, so everyone can sit on them.
The Queen Mother didn't say anything else. After everyone had paid their respects, she chatted a few words with Concubine De and Concubine Rong and then left.
Shu Shu was still left behind.
"I just happened to take Lao Jiu and the children to Haidian for a rest. Whoever is willing to take part in the messy affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs can get involved..."
The Queen Mother said.
Shu Shu nodded and said: "Our mother-in-law just urged us to go there earlier. When we go back later, my grandson will discuss this with our father."
Seeing that she could think openly, the Queen Mother said: "That's good. Please remind Lao Jiu carefully that you don't want to hold grudges. I heard that the censor was whipped by Brother Ten. How pitiful it would be for Lao Jiu to hold grudges again!"
Shu Shu hurriedly said: "Don't worry, it's not a big deal. It's just Master Jiu who exposed his shortcomings. He doesn't need to be impeached."
The Queen Mother was relieved and did not stay with Shu Shu any longer. They will live next to each other starting from tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
When Shu Shu came out, she saw Jiu Gege waiting here.
"I'm sending Sister-in-law Ninth away..." she said with a hint of sadness between her brows.
Shu Shu took her arm, looked up and down, and said, "What's going on?"
Is it premarital anxiety?
Jiu Gege lowered his voice and said: "Brother Jiu was dismissed from the job, was it because of me?"
Shu Shu was stunned and said in confusion: "Of course it's irrelevant, fine. Why is Gege trying to take the blame on himself?"
Jiu Gege whispered: "I heard from the Imperial Grandmother that she asked Brother Jiu to prepare some rent-collecting official houses as dowries. But official houses in good locations are just considered official houses. I'm afraid there may be masters behind them.
Could it be that Ninth Brother asked someone to investigate the official's office, and people noticed it, so he ordered people to take part in Ninth Brother..."
Shu Shu was silent.
This is really the cause and effect.
The first half of the pull was correct, but the second half was stopped by the Seventh Prince before anyone else noticed, and then the Ninth Prince directly revealed the matter of the master on the second floor of the official house.
"I'm really the one who got involved..."
Jiu Gege's eyes were red.
Shu Shu made a gesture of silence and said: "Good sister, please keep this matter to yourself and don't mention it to anyone! Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents. Even if there is a distinction between superior and inferior, one must be careful.
People hold grudges and retaliate privately, and besides, this matter was ordered by the Imperial Grandmother, so the old man who made such a fuss is also uneasy!"
Jiu Gege hesitated and said: "Then Brother Jiu's errand..."
Shu Shu said: "It will be fine once this wave is over and things are over..."
Speaking of this, she remembered that Jiu Gege's wedding was in September or October, and said: "I won't be able to take a break for a few months. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather will be cool."
As my sister-in-law talked, she arrived at Shenwumen.
Shi Fujin was bored there, waiting for Shu Shu to come back together.
Shu Shu said goodbye to Jiu Gege and followed Shi Fujin out of the palace.
"The Thirteenth Brother and the Fourteenth Brother will also live in the North Sixth House..."
Shi Fujin talked about the news he just heard.
Shu Shu thought for a while and said: "That's the third sister-in-law, the seventh sister-in-law, and our two families plus the thirteenth brother and the fourteenth brother..."
The elder brother's house next to the North Garden has a total of six courtyards, and can accommodate up to six families.
The ten lucky Jins clasped their fingers and said, "But are there eight lucky Jins?"
Shu Shu said: "Eldest brother and eighth elder brother should still live over there in Xinwusuo, and they are almost the same as working in the garden as errands..."
There are also five courtyards over there, where the prince and his elder brother can live.
Shi Fujin held his chin and said, "She just said hello and left. She was quite respectful in front of Sister-in-law Seven."
"It's only right to keep the elders and younger ones in order. Otherwise, in the eyes of the elders, they will think we are rude..." Shu Shu said.
"Hmm, um... I'm all respectful. When the prince Fujin comes in, he will also respect us..." Shi Fujin said.
The prince behind is Fujin?
Shu Shu thought of the direct descendant of the Ma Qi family, Gege, who was the official match of the twelfth prince. She wondered if there would be any changes next year.
And Thirteenth Brother’s Fujin, is she also one of next year’s batch of show girls?
Minister Malhan has been really active in the past two years.
He was previously the Minister of the Ministry of War. In the 38th year, he was promoted to the Censor of Zuodu. In the same year, he was transferred from the Censor of Zuodu to the Minister of the Ministry of War and became the Minister of Political Affairs.
This Manchu surname is Zhaojia, and he should be the father-in-law of Thirteenth Brother.
This Malhan was also an in-law of the Suo'etu family. His sixth daughter was a show girl in the same class as Shu Shu. After giving up her name, she was married to Yin Duli, the third son of the great scholar Yin Sang'a, who was also the grandson of Suo'etu.
.
This Yin Duli is also a famous young talent of the Eight Banners. He was the candidate of the Eight Banners last year at the age of thirteen.
However, there was no news about Yin Duli in spring this year. It may be because he is young, his family is busy with two subjects, or he has other arrangements.
After all, Suo'etu was convicted last year, and even though Yin Sang-ah had different political opinions with her father-in-law, she was implicated and resigned as a bachelor.
Compared with the Thirteen Fortunes, there seems to be not much news about the Twelve Fortunes.
Everyone only knows that she is the legitimate daughter of Ma Qi and the cousin of Queen Fucha.
Shi Fujin whispered: "Just when the big guys dispersed, Ba Fujin stopped the Crown Princess and didn't know what to say. The Crown Princess shook her head, and Ba Fujin's face looked a little ugly."
Shu Shu couldn't guess the reason, as he had never seen these two people interact with each other before.
Before Ba Fu Jin, his temperament was very shallow, and he liked to put down others, but he also didn't like to flatter others, and he was more self-centered.
Otherwise, after living in the palace for more than half a year, she never got close to the Crown Princess and Da Fujin.
In the past, she loved to go to Yanxi Palace, more as if she was using Concubine Hui to suppress her biological mother-in-law.
Now it seems that the relationship with the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law on the good concubine's side has become normal, and she is not rude to Concubine Hui, and she seems to be quite considerate.
"Don't worry about her, you can live your own life." Shu Shu said.
Shi Fujin nodded and said: "I don't care, I just think Ba Fujin is a little strange and doesn't kiss anyone..."
*
In Yuqing Palace, the main room in the inner courtyard.
The Crown Princess was also thinking about Ba Fujin and shook her head.
Ba Fujin's thinking was too simple. He wanted a list of palace ladies and wanted to choose someone from among them for Ba Age.
There is no such rule.
Every time the prince chooses someone, why is it always done after the "minor election" in February?
That is because in order to avoid suspicion, the selected palace maiden directly falls under the name of the elder brothers.
Otherwise, only the emperor can grant gifts to those who have been directly registered in the palace.
After all, in the harem, there is only one male master, the emperor.
Besides, even if you want to accuse someone, there is no reason for Bafujin to come forward.
Concubine Hui is here, and there are also good concubines.
Apart from the emperor, they are the only ones qualified to give the eighth prince a thumbs up.
The nanny came in and said, "Mother, the Imperial Physician has been sent to the Jiaofang Palace again."
"Eldest brother is sick again?" the princess asked in surprise.
After all, Akedun is already ten years old. In his early years, not only he was lively and energetic, but his body bones were also stronger. In the past two years, his temperament has become quieter, and his body seems to be not as good as before. In the past few months after the new year, he needs to have sex almost every month.
Passed on to the Imperial Physician.
The nanny said: "I asked my eldest brother's nanny and she said that I used ice in the past two days and I caught a cold and had diarrhea once. It has been recurring in the past two days..."
The Crown Princess looked cold, but she still got up and went to Xie Fang Hall.
Who called her the princess?
It is also her responsibility to take care of the children of the East Palace.
The Jiefang Palace was the busiest at first, and it looked even more prosperous than the Yuqing Palace.
But now it was quiet.
The prince has moved his second elder brother back to Yuqing Palace, and he also lives in Yuqing Palace. Only his eldest elder brother and a few princesses and concubines from his early years are left here.
The Crown Princess arrived at the cross-yard where Akedun was. The imperial doctor had just finished diagnosing the pulse, and was sitting downstairs. Akedun's nanny was standing beside her.
When they met the Crown Princess, they both greeted her.
The princess looked at the prescription in the doctor's hand and said, "How is the eldest brother?"
The imperial doctor said: "My eldest brother is overworked, yang does not enter yin, qi, blood, yin and yang are imbalanced, and he has some symptoms of insomnia..."
The princess couldn't help but frown after hearing this.
Of course she knew how difficult it was to be "sleepless", meaning she couldn't sleep all night long and was extremely tired during the day.
Even adults can't stand this, and even children can't stand it.
She looked at Akedun's nanny and said unhappily: "What's going on? Okay, why is the eldest brother so restless?"
The nanny said with worry: "At the beginning of March, the prince praised the second elder brother twice and personally taught the second elder brother archery... The elder brother followed him at that time, but he was too nervous and fell behind.
Target, the prince did not reprimand the eldest brother, but the eldest brother cried all night when he came back and started practicing archery morning and evening..."
