My father-in-law is Kangxi

It's a holiday today. The ninth and tenth elder brothers originally agreed to have dinner together in the evening, but now it's not convenient.

When they arrived at the door of the house, the ninth elder brother said to the tenth elder brother: "Don't prepare dinner. When the time comes, ask someone to bring the dinner directly."

The tenth elder brother nodded and watched the ninth elder brother enter the door before telling the carriage to move on.

Here in Shushu, when I saw Brother Jiu didn't come back at noon, I knew that things were not going well with my concubine.

She remembered the worry and fear she felt before giving birth last year.

Before the development of modern medicine, the first child was a matter of life and death for a woman.

Not to mention others, but those around Shu Shu, Fusong's Eni and Guizhen's Eni both died at the time of first childbirth.

However, it seems that the second child is not insured.

Queen Yuan did not have the second child.

Is it because she has never been pregnant?
Or would you be pregnant for ten months and then give birth to a child who dies tragically?
Shu Shu thought of the draft the year before last.

She and her concubine lived together for half a month. Even if it was not a house, it was a courtyard. She had seen them many times.

On weekdays, the two of them just nodded to each other when greeting each other at the Ningshou Palace, but because they were the most beautiful ladies of the same period, they still couldn't help but pay attention to each other.

She is like this, and so is the concubine.

When Brother Ninth arrived at home, he felt hungry.

When he met Shu Shu, he asked an old saying in Beijing: "Have you eaten for lunch?"

Shu Shu shook her head and said, "I only ate one piece of milk skin mooncake, and the food is still prepared in the dining room."

Brother Jiu said: "Let's ask someone to prepare food, but I'm really hungry."

Ging Guo went down to deliver the message.

Brother Ninth simply freshened up.

The meals are all prepared. Since we have prepared the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the evening, lunch is relatively simple, including fish head cakes, slippery fish fillets, grated fish offal, crab roe tofu, fish ball soup and a lettuce platter.

When the couple sat down to eat, the ninth elder brother mentioned the incident in Chengqian Palace: "I am sad that my concubine gave birth to a princess. The princess sealed off the inner dining room. I heard that it was my concubine who discovered it by herself. Poria was added to the white flour." I don’t know how many days I’ve been eating powder…”

When the concubine found out she was pregnant, she didn't have to pay her respects, and no one could see her. They really didn't know what was going on with her.

Shu Shu listened, the crab roe tofu in the bowl was no longer fragrant.

When were these hands and feet made?
If it was done in Chengqian Palace, it would be fine. If it was done in the Imperial Kitchen, then the Prince's Mansion would not be safe.

The rice, flour, grains and oils here are mainly allocated by the palace.

The concubine and the concubine provide food according to the concubine's position, with three pounds and eighty ounces of white flour every day.

However, with her status, daily necessities such as rice, noodles, seasonings, etc. would not be allocated on a daily basis. They would all be allocated at the beginning of the month for the entire month.

"Imperial dining room, if you check back, you should be able to find the person who handled it, right?" Shu Shu asked.

Brother Jiu said: "That's natural. The Treasurer, Treasurer, and Supervisor all have to sign and sign. When you withdraw money, you have to keep an account here. When you get to the dining room in Chengqian Palace, you have to enter the account. At least two people sign and sign... "

At this point, he said: "The Crown Princess only asked people to check the Chengqian Palace, but not the imperial dining room. That's because she knew that when the imperial dining room was inspected, the commotion would be big. Dehan Ama issued an order, but I thought, Nothing can be found here in the imperial dining room. Catch thieves and seize stolen goods..."

Shu Shu looked at the bubble cake and didn't want to eat it.

Brother Jiu knew that she was timid, so he said: "If you don't worry, we won't eat the rice and noodles we receive from the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the future, and buy others from outside."

Shu Shu said: "Go back and build a mill in the mansion. When the new grain comes, I will prepare some in the mansion."

With Xiaotang in the dining room, I can feel at ease after giving the instructions in private.

But thinking about Xiaotang's age, Shu Shu was also troubled.

Xiaotang's biological mother died during childbirth, and she saw that her father had an affair with her sister-in-law before her biological mother died, so she hated the relationship between men and women and decided not to marry or have children.

Keren's thoughts are not permanent.

With both Xiaochun and Walnut getting married, who knows if Xiaotang will change her mind.

Everyone has selfish motives, and Shu Shu is no exception.

She hoped that even if Xiaotang wanted to get married and have children in two years, she would leave the Prince's Mansion and continue her job in the kitchen.

Otherwise, if there is no proper person watching the things at the entrance, it would be really uneasy.

Brother Jiu said: "We live outside the palace, and we are all worried about the supply of the imperial dining room, let alone the emperor. I am afraid that Khan Ama will be very angry this time."

Shu Shu nodded and said: "If this is not found out, I'm afraid it will be difficult to sleep and eat well in the future."

Brother Jiu said bitterly: "All these adults have been tricked. If we use tricks against the little prince, who can escape?"

Shu Shu said: "Perhaps our worries are unfounded. The imperial dining room is full of things that belong to the master's entrance in the palace, and a more rigorous inspection method is designated..."

Brother Jiu nodded and said, "Maybe, the concubines and relatives in the imperial dining room have all been cleared out long ago..."

Speaking of this, he thought of Concubine De, Concubine Rong, Concubine Liang and Concubine Min, and said: "Fortunately, the empress has never touched the imperial dining room from beginning to end, otherwise, like other concubines and concubines, this time There seems to be some suspicion..."

Shu Shu said: "Let's wait for the imperial investigation. An imperial daughter has been killed. Since the emperor values ​​​​his concubine, he must give an explanation. No matter who takes action, he will not be able to get away with it."

Brother Jiu nodded and said: "That's right, the Crown Princess is unlucky. In name, the power of the palace is in her hands, but the east and west palaces are all under the control of the empress. She just takes the title. There are no benefits, and all the bad things are the result." On her..."

Shu Shu also had a hard time thinking about the position of the Crown Princess.

With a high position and great authority, there are also heavy responsibilities.

Early the next morning, Brother Ninth went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

This morning he is going to give some discounts.

It took the Shenxing Division an afternoon and an entire night to interrogate all the dozens of people who were on duty in the Qian Palace today.Sure enough, when he arrived at the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Chenzheng, Doctor Dutu of the Shenxing Division was already waiting outside the duty room.

"Please greet Master Jiu..."

Everyone wanted to see him come in, and they rushed to greet him.

Brother Jiu called him in and said, "What did you find out?"

Du Tu said: "Ms. Chen, the owner of the kitchen in the inner dining room, has brought Poria cocos powder into the palace many times since June and mixed it into the flour. Chen's family has been detained. Her husband has died and one of her sons is missing..."

After hearing this, Brother Jiu said angrily: "Which bastard would use such despicable methods..."

As he said that, he felt something was wrong and said, "It's hot in June and everyone is wearing thin clothes. How can we get involved? Are the gatekeepers dead?"

Dutuka paused, made gestures on his upper body, and said: "It was Mrs. Chen's sister-in-law who came forward and took two banknotes and her son's braid... Mrs. Chen is plump and plump..."

Just hide it in your clothes and bring it in. No matter how much you check, no one will touch your chest.

Brother Jiu realized that it was really hard to explain.

Brother Jiu nodded and said: "I understand, please leave the confession and remember to go to Yuqing Palace to explain this matter to the Crown Princess..."

Everyone agreed, left a confession, and went to Yuqing Palace.

Brother Jiu read the confession in general, refined the causes and consequences and wrote a secret, and then ordered He Yuzhu to send it to the south study room. There was a driving officer on duty there, and at noon, manpower would be arranged to deliver the question book to the emperor.

The twelfth elder brother listened to everything.

When the Ninth Elder Brother was free, the Twelfth Elder Brother said: "If a stranger enters the palace, the access control will be strict, and those with palace cards, and those who enter the palace every day as errands, will be loosened..."

There are many people working in the palace, and there are between 5000 and [-] people with palace cards. The entrance guard has already formulated various inspection rules.

But rules are dead and people are alive.

Brother Jiu hummed softly: "Khan Ama was punished the year before last. They don't have a long memory, so they will definitely be punished this time!"

The gold utensils used for the New Year sacrifices the year before last were stolen, and many imposters were found in the palace.

It can be seen that the access control is almost useless.

At that time, a group of people were punished.

It has only been two and a half years, and this disaster is related to entrainment, and the guards guarding the gate have become loose again.

These are mainly the soldiers of the Guard Camp of the Three Banners and the soldiers of the Three Banners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It is hard to say whether the rules are loosened or there are other involvements.

Here in the south study room.

The third elder brother, the fifth elder brother and the seventh elder brother came over this morning and also got news about Chengqian Palace.

But except for the third elder brother, the fifth elder brother and the seventh elder brother did not mention this.

They are just a news relay station. If such a major event happens in the palace, they can just hand over a joint statement. It is useless to say anything else.

The third elder brother, on the other hand, was extremely curious and wanted to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to find out something.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of questions today, so I don’t have time to spare.

By noon, the third elder brother knew that the ninth elder brother had also handed over the coupons, and then went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The ninth elder brother had already returned.

The Ninth Prince's Mansion, the main house.

Shi Fujin came, holding Shu Shu's hand, trembling like a quail.

"Sister-in-law Ninth, what should I do? I heard that the concubine and Sister-in-law have the same symptoms as Sister-in-law Seven. If they eat too much, the child will grow bigger. So, wouldn't I be in danger too?"

Shu Shu hurriedly shook his head and said: "Don't scare yourself. You are so well-proportioned now and your belly is of normal size. Who said anything?"

If it were Brother Ten, he wouldn't tell Shi Fujin this.

Shi Fujin was pregnant for the first time and was uneasy, asking her why she was talking to her about these useless things.

Shi Fujin said with a bitter face: "It's Mrs. Aling'a who is here. She says she has good intentions and hopes that I will give birth safely..."

Shu Shu frowned and said: "Brothers and sisters, please remember that anyone who says he has good intentions will not be at peace with him. Okay, why are I telling you this? You still have three months. As long as you don't eat Haisai's food, you will be fine." no problem……"

Shi Fujin said with dismay, "Sister-in-law Qi was quite scared of people that time, but I didn't expect Sister-in-law and Concubine to be even scarier this time."

Qi Fujin had a difficult delivery, and the San Ge Ge she gave birth to was different from ordinary children. Now he is three years old and can't speak clearly.

Here, concubines will die immediately after giving birth.

Shu Shu said calmly: "Don't worry, your Ehe will be here next month, and I will keep an eye on you and change the recipes for you then to ensure that you can satisfy your cravings and not gain weight."

After hearing this, Shi Fujin immediately hugged Shu Shu's arm and said, "Sister-in-law Jiu still loves me, so I'm relieved. I'm afraid I won't eat enough and gain weight. During the Chinese New Year last year..."

Shu Shu walked with her to the backyard again and saw Fengsheng and Akdan.

The two sisters-in-law stayed with the child for a long time, and Shi Fujin's anxiety subsided.

When Shi Fujin returned home, Brother Jiu also came back.

Shu Shu then complained: "The rules in July only restrict Bao Yi from talking about royal matters in front of people outside, but they can't control the noble family. There are still people in the A Ling A family palace. The news is quite good." Well-informed..."

As she spoke, she told the story of Mrs. Aling'a going to the Prince's Mansion to scare Shi Fujin, and said: "The black-hearted thing has the intention of harming others. She herself has given birth. How can she not know the panic of pregnant women..."

After hearing this, Brother Jiu stood up and said: "So bold and bold, this is the heir of the scheming old man!"

Shu Shu remembered the awkwardness between mother and daughter Wu Ya when she went to Aling'a's house in April to be a married woman, and said: "They and the [-]th prince are usually on the same page, so why do they come to the door for no reason to disgust people? Is this the news that the emperor’s proposed marriage has something to do with the tenth prince?”
