My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1703 Should I go and persuade them? (ask for guaranteed monthly ticket)

By the time the memorial was delivered to the Southern Study, everyone was ready to go home.

Mainly because the morning is the busiest time and the afternoon is relatively quiet.

Unless it is a secret memorial, they will also have to review the memorials of greeting sent to the emperor.

When they heard that it was a letter of greeting from the Eighth Prince, the brothers had different expressions.

The Third Prince seemed a little impatient.

"What kind of news is this? Lao Ba is moving at this time!"

The Fifth Prince and the Tenth Prince both thought of the Ninth Prince's Mansion.

At this time, it seemed that the only thing that happened was the Ninth Lady's return to Beijing.

The two governments don't have much contact, so they shouldn't be related, right?

The Seventh Prince was thinking of the news about Prince An's Mansion and couldn't think of any other reasons for a moment.

At this moment, the Third Prince had already received the letter of greeting from the Secretary and opened it.

After reading it, he said in annoyance: "Why didn't I think of this with my pig brain?"

He also offended the crown prince, so he should flatter the eldest prince!
Taking the lead in cleaning up the Soetu family is also a token of allegiance to the "Great Thousand Years Party"? !
Seeing his big reaction, the Fifth Prince leaned over.

"What did Lao Ba say in his greeting letter?"

The third prince handed him the letter.

"Look, is this still the old man who always pretends to be a good guy? After being locked up for half a year, I wonder if his brain has become smarter or more confused!"

He just said that, but he actually knew that the disadvantages outweighed the advantages.

The benefits are sold to the "thousand-year-old party", but the disadvantages are greater.

There is no need for fame.

From now on, he will inevitably be nicknamed "Grave Digging Prince".

The prince will also take note of it.

The Fifth Prince took it and looked at it, but frowned.

"This is a fool, a gravedigger, what good thing is there? It's too late to hide, but you still have to move forward?"

Then he said to the Seventh and Tenth Princes, "The Eighth Prince has asked for the job and is going to lead the digging of the graves!"

There was nothing to be seen on the Seventh Prince’s face.

He has no connection with the Eighth Prince, and he doesn't care whether the Eighth Prince is good or bad.

This is the signal...

The Eighth Prince is the best at weighing the pros and cons, but right now he doesn't take the Crown Prince's opinion into consideration, which shows that he is not optimistic about the Crown Prince.

It seemed like something was exposed.

The Tenth Prince was much more serious.

The Eighth Prince was not an enemy, but he was not on good terms with him and the Ninth Prince, and the Tenth Prince wished he would remain silent.

Given the Eighth Prince's personality, if he really wanted to turn things around, the first thing he would think of would probably be to suppress the Ninth Prince.

The Third Prince shook his head and said, "This...should we go and persuade them?"

Isn't it a bad idea to watch the Eighth Prince jump into the pit?

Will the Emperor blame them, his brothers, for not lending a helping hand?

The Fifth Prince glanced at him and said, "Then Third Brother, would you please go?"

The Third Prince chuckled twice and quickly waved his hands.

"Forget it. Old Eight has his own agenda and is prejudiced against me as his brother. If I stop him, he will think that he is not allowed to show his face in front of the emperor!"

The Fifth Prince curled his lips and said, "I have no friendship with him in the past few years, so I won't be so kind!"

The Third Prince and the Fifth Prince both looked at the Seventh Prince.

The Tenth Prince is the younger brother, so it is not his turn to speak when his elder brothers act, but the Seventh Prince is the older brother.

The Seventh Prince raised his eyebrows and said, "The Eighth Prince is twenty-two!"

So he knows what he should do and no one else needs to worry about him.

If you think about it, this is the same logic.

The Third Prince included this letter of greeting among the letters to be sent out tomorrow at noon.

Thinking about the buzz outside these days, all about Soetu hiding his property, the Fifth Prince said, "Is it only Soetu who hid it? What about Sony? Didn't the old man say that Sony is an old fox?"

When the Third Prince heard this, his eyes lit up.

"That's true. It's possible. Soetu was a bastard, and he only enjoyed his glory for a few years. It took him only ten years from his rise to fall. Sony was a minister who served three dynasties..."

The Fifth Prince said, "I guess Khan Ama also thought so, that's why he not only ordered people to surround the tombs of the Saint Guardians, but also the tombs of the Suo family, to prevent them from having a chance to move their property."

The Third Prince nodded and said, "If the Eighth Prince really wants to take the lead this time, it won't just be digging up the little girl's grave. There will be a lot of money and property in his possession. It can be said that it will be very profitable..."

Neither the Seventh Prince nor the Tenth Prince spoke.

If the Eighth Prince had any other chance, he would not have taken this step.

That person has been strong-willed and concerned about his reputation since he was young.

Are you planning to completely disregard your face from now on?
It's really hard to say if they act like this...

The next day, Shushu got dressed early in the morning.

Because the Empress Dowager was not in the palace, the princes' wives' visits to the palace to pay their respects on every fifth or tenth day were not fixed.

Shushu just happened to be there, so she chose this day.

She sent Zhou Song into the palace yesterday to report to Concubine Yi about her visit to the palace to pay respects today, and she got her consent.

At two quarters past noon, Shushu entered the Shenwu Gate.

Inside the Shenwu Gate, Perrin brought people and waited with a sedan chair ready.

Shu Shu was a little surprised and said, "Thank you for your concern, Madam."

The weather is neither too cold nor too hot now, and she hasn't reached her due date yet. Concubine Yi is so considerate, which shows that when the Emperor is not in the palace, the concubines feel more at ease.

Perrin took a quick look at Shushu's waist and abdomen.

"Ever since the Queen received the letter from Prince Beile and his wife, she has been thinking about his wife..."

Shushu took Peilan's hand and got on the sedan chair.

The eunuchs carrying the sedan chair walked steadily, and it took them nearly a quarter of an hour to cover the short distance.

They put down the sedan chair only after they entered the Yikun Gate and stood at the entrance of the main hall.

Shushu got off the sedan chair.

Concubine Yi was already waiting in the second room, thinking about Shushu's pregnancy, and gave instructions to the palace maid.

"Quickly move the incense burner and open a window..."

The little palace maid responded and left.

Shushu entered the west room and saw Concubine Yi sitting there with a smile on her face, so she knelt down and saluted.

Concubine Yi hurriedly asked Peilan to help her up and asked her to sit on the kang, saying, "You should rest for two more days..."

While talking, she looked at Shushu twice, and seeing that she looked fine, she smiled more sincerely and said, "It seems that Rehe is a good place. This child came at the right time..."

The previous pregnancies were all unexpected surprises, and this one is just the “icing on the cake”.

Shu Shu said, "It's all the kindness of our elders. Over the past few years, the Imperial Grandmother and the Empress have given us so many good things. Master Jiu and I are so full of life. We can't just eat and drink for free."

The key is that her mother-in-law is worry-free and her grandmother is also considerate. As a royal daughter-in-law, her life is much less worry-free than that of others.

After hearing this, Concubine Yi laughed and said, "You should compete with Old Nine..."

It has been only four years and one month since the Ninth Prince and Shushu got married in the thirty-seventh year, and not only have they given birth to three children, but the fourth is also in the belly.

Concubine Yi felt that Shushu was very blessed, with a good birthday and good offspring.

As for the Ninth Prince, he was purely benefited by luck.

But she just thought about it in her heart, knowing that it would be taboo to say it out loud.

Shushu knew that although her grandson was important, he was not as important as her son, so she told him about what had happened to the Ninth Prince in Rehe over the past two months.

"It rained a lot when I left Beijing, and I got eczema. Fortunately, I had some powder with me, so I didn't suffer too much..."

"When we arrived in Rehe, Master Jiu had less work to do, so he just followed behind Fourth Prince, which was not tiring. Even so, Fourth Prince cared about his younger brother and was afraid that our Master would get tired from the sun..."

"Several princesses have arrived. They all love Master Jiu very much. Knowing that it is his birthday this year, they prepared birthday gifts for him..."

"Master Jiu also sympathizes with the princesses who have to marry far away and feel uncomfortable accepting gifts, so he has also prepared gifts in return..."

"I also want to tell the queen good news. Because of the merits of the Ninth Master in supervising the construction of the Rehe Palace, the Emperor has also rewarded him with four shops in Rehe..."

Shushu spoke one by one, and Concubine Yi listened carefully.

After hearing the last part, she smiled and said, "Then Old Nine will definitely be happy. This reward really hits his heart."

Shu Shu nodded and said, "It's very beautiful. The current income is normal, but we have to wait and see. Whether I use it myself or rent it out to collect rent, it will be fine."

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get together, the first thing they mention is their son and grandson.

Shushu told the story again, and Concubine Yi listened with great interest.

Especially the greedy granddaughter.

She has many sons and no shortage of grandchildren. She treats little boys as normal and little girls as more precious.

"Have you chosen a date for the vaccination? Will it be this winter or next February?"

Concubine Yi asked with concern.

Once the child has been vaccinated, as long as he is not born, he can enter the palace to pay respects.

Shu Shu considered and said, "For such an important matter, I dare not act on my own. I still have to wait for the Ninth Master to come back, and then I will see what the Imperial Observatory has decided on."

The royal population has increased in the past two years, and smallpox vaccines are always prepared at the Imperial Medical Bureau.

Therefore, there is no need to wait for the vaccine, just look at the selected day.

Concubine Yi glanced at Shushu.

"You two should discuss this, and then ask the imperial physician for his opinion. It's better to be cautious..."

According to the Imperial Medical Service, the younger the child is when vaccinated, the better.

However, we have to wait until the child can speak and can clearly express where he feels comfortable and where he feels uncomfortable.

There is another prerequisite, that is, your body cannot be too weak and you must lay a good foundation.

Vaccination is not 100% risk-free.

Therefore, whether it was the royal family or the Eight Banners, some families with few offspring insisted on not being vaccinated.

Just in case something happens.

Shushu nodded. Even if the risk was only a tiny bit, parents couldn't remain indifferent.

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had finished their conversation, Shushu got up and said goodbye.

Now that the emperor is not in the palace, the access control of the Forbidden City has become stricter, and it is not good to stay there for too long.

Concubine Yi did not keep anyone and ordered: "Before the Queen Mother comes back, there is no need to pay respects. She is in a heavy condition and there is no need to bother. Wait until the Queen Mother comes back..."

Shushu agreed obediently.

When she came to pay her respects this time, she also brought meat mooncakes and egg yolk mooncakes made in the kitchen, which could be considered as an advance tribute.

She still rode out of the Shenwu Gate in a sedan chair, changed into her own carriage, and went to the Seventh Prince's Mansion.

According to current rules, pregnant women are not allowed to visit the mother who has just given birth, as this would "step on the breast milk" and take the mother's milk away.

Although they don't feed their children themselves due to their status, Shushu still follows the rules.

Before she went back to her parents' home yesterday, she sent Xiaochun to visit the Seventh Prince's Mansion on her behalf to visit the Seventh Lady and gave her some supplements such as ginseng and donkey-hide gelatin.

As a result, Xiaochun came back with a message, saying that the Seventh Lady was feeling depressed during her confinement period, and knowing that Shushu had returned, she asked Shushu to come over and talk when she had time.

Shushu came out today and planned to visit the Seventh Lady.

The two are sisters-in-law, and they have been good friends since childhood, so they have always had a good relationship...
