My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1742: Joy (asking for guaranteed monthly ticket)

After Concubine Chen had finished washing up and had a simple breakfast, the Fifth Lady also arrived at the Yiku Palace.

Knowing that Concubine Yi was in the rear palace, the Fifth Lady came over to pay her respects.

Concubine Yi said, "I can't leave here. You can go with Concubine Chen. You don't have to pay respects to your sister-in-law!"

Although Shushu received the Queen Mother's order to exempt herself from paying respects, she still sent Baiguo to the palace on her behalf yesterday to report to Concubine Yi and bring in the Double Ninth Festival gifts prepared for the two palaces.

The Fifth Lady agreed and left the Yikun Palace with Concubine Chen.

When they walked out of the Yiku Palace, they saw Concubine Liang walking in, followed by the Twelfth Lady and Concubine Fucha.

Concubine Chen and Lady Wu made way and waited.

Liangpin stopped, glanced at Yikun Gate, and asked Wufujin, "Where is your queen?"

When Concubine Gao launched the rebellion yesterday, all the palace gates had been locked. Although Concubine Liang's Changchun Palace was adjacent to this place, there was no communication with this place.

The Fifth Lady replied truthfully: "Concubine Gao started it, and our queen is taking care of it."

Liangpin calculated the time in her mind, frowned, looked at Chen Guiren and said, "Why did it start all of a sudden? Is there still a day left?"

Concubine Chen felt something was wrong and said, "It's almost nine months, not much time left. The imperial physician has already asked for preparations."

Liangpin nodded slightly and said softly, "I just hope for good news."

As she spoke, she called upon the Fifth Lady and Concubine Chen to join her.

There is order of seniority and distinction of dignity.

The Fifth Lady and Concubine Chen responded and followed Concubine Liang out of the Six Western Palaces.

The Fifth Lady took a step behind and nodded to the Concubine Fu Cha, then whispered to the Twelfth Lady, "I haven't seen my sister-in-law for a while."

The twelfth concubine nodded and said, "Yes, I haven't seen my sisters-in-law for half a year."

There is no queen in the palace, and the prince's wife's biological mother is also very upset.

When the Empress Dowager was not in the palace, the princes and their wives outside the palace did not have to pay their respects to the palace at a fixed time.

The twelfth concubine lived in the prince's residence, and it was inconvenient for her to leave the palace.

The Fifth Lady said, "Today, except for your Ninth Sister-in-law, all other sisters-in-law can be seen."

The sisters-in-law were talking in a low voice, and Liangpin was sitting in front and heard it all.

Thinking that others have daughters-in-law around them, she is the only one who has her son's concubine.

She behaved in a dignified and generous manner, but her reputation was not right and her words were not convincing, so she lacked confidence in front of other princes' wives.

When the group arrived at Ningshou Palace, Concubine Chen went in first to report to the Empress Dowager that Concubine Gao had given birth.

"Bless the Buddha!"

When the Queen Mother heard that Concubine Gao had not given birth for six hours, she also became worried.

Not only did he feel pity for the royal heir, he was also mainly worried about Concubine Yi.

In order to take care of Concubine Gao, Concubine Yi worked hard for half a year. If anything went wrong, she might be blamed.

This villain talks without asking why, and he just believes everything he hears.

In front of the Ningshou Palace, since the concubines had not yet arrived, the younger sisters-in-law also had time to talk.

The Third Lady was originally in the room with the Crown Princess and the Tenth Lady. When she saw the other sisters-in-law talking outside, she pulled the Tenth Lady out as well.

After seeing the Seventh Lady's appearance clearly, the Third Lady couldn't help but touch her face and said, "It's only been a short time since you came out of confinement, how come your hair is so fine? It seems that you took good care of yourself during this confinement..."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The Seventh Lady laughed and said, "You've been eating and sleeping so much that you've gained about ten pounds. Your skin has swelled up, and your face looks young."

Take a step back, the sky is brighter.

The Seventh Lady was a cheerful person to begin with. After she had persuaded herself, she stopped worrying about it and she took good care of herself during the confinement period.

Filial piety is highly valued nowadays. As the legitimate wife, she has a long life. Even if she has no son, she can still support her two daughters.

Otherwise, she would be suffocated to death and her two daughters would be truly left without support.

The Third Lady looked her over and shook her head, "How can you be fat? Look at your waistline, it's shrunk a lot!"

The Seventh Lady said, "It's pinching my stomach, or some meat floss."

The Fifth and Tenth Concubines had both given birth before, and as they listened to the two of them talking, they couldn't help but look down at their waists.

The Fifth Concubine was fine, as she had a slim figure, but the Tenth Concubine was plump and round.

The twelfth and thirteenth wives, who had never given birth, began to look forward to it after hearing what their sisters-in-law said.

The time they had been married was not long, but it was not short either. After the New Year, it was already the third year.

As for Concubine Fucha, she couldn't help but think of the Eighth Concubine in the west wing.

Even if she didn't ask anyone to inquire, there would be servants who would tell her about the Eighth Lady's daily whereabouts.

The Eighth Lady sat in the yard at noon every day. She was very kind to the two little girls and did not ask anyone to discipline them harshly.

Eighth Lady...you want a child, right?

Concubine Fucha was weighing the pros and cons in her mind.

She has become accustomed to her current peaceful life and does not want the Eighth Prince to have children.

If the Eighth Prince had a bastard son now, then the mother would be honored by the son and would have an extra concubine in the future.

If he did not honor his biological mother, the upbringing of the little prince would have to be handed over to her, the concubine.

She didn't want to raise someone else's son.

If it were handed over to the Eighth Concubine, the weight of the wife, the only son and the others would not be able to be balanced by her as a concubine. At that time, the east wind would prevail over the west wind.

After a while, Concubine De and Concubine Hui arrived one after another.

Both of them rode in sedan chairs. They were not as careful as the concubines. They walked on weekdays and only rode in sedan chairs in winter when the roads were cold and slippery.

Although the Queen Mother was worried about the situation in Yikun Palace, she had not seen everyone for several months, so she asked Hui Fei: "Has the Nineteenth Prince turned one year old? What did he grab during the "Zhuazhou" ceremony? His mother is back, so it's time for him to leave the Zhaoxiang Palace."

Concubine Hui said, "A birthday on the eighth day of the eighth month is a lucky one. I have caught the jade ruyi and asked someone to choose a date."

According to the palace rules, the princes and princesses were brought to Zhaoxiang Palace when they were born, and returned to the six palaces in the east and west when they were one year old.

The Nineteenth Prince was supposed to leave Zhaoxiang Residence in August, but because of the presence of Concubine Wang, the date was delayed.

The Queen Mother glanced at the nobles standing there.

The noble lady is not qualified to raise the princes and princesses.

According to the rules, only a concubine of the highest rank can raise the princes and princesses.

In this case, another adoptive mother should be chosen for the Nineteenth Prince, but the Emperor did not mention it, obviously out of pity for Wang.

The Queen Mother didn't worry about it and looked at Borjigit again.

If Concubine Gao gave birth to a prince, then when he left Zhaoxiang Palace, a foster mother would be chosen for him.

I don’t know if the emperor can remember that there is no prince in Xianfu Palace.

Before the greetings were over, Perrin arrived.

"Our master sent a servant to congratulate the queen. The concubine gave birth to a prince, and both mother and child are safe!"

The Queen Mother smiled when she heard this and said, "Good, good, good, it is indeed a happy event!"

The palace concubine and the prince's wife who were listening nearby also had their own thoughts.

It's the little brother...

Hepin bit her lip.

The emperor is looking forward to having another prince in the royal family.

She also noticed that most of the concubines chosen by the emperor in recent years had given birth.

Although Concubine Gao was a Han woman from Jiangnan and of relatively low birth, she gave birth to this prince, so she would surely be favored in the future, and she might even become another noble lady of the royal family.

She lowered her eyes, remembering what her mother had taught her in Rehe, that there was no need to rush to adopt a concubine's little prince, in order to prevent him from becoming someone else's concubine and also causing dissatisfaction among the queen mother who already had a son.

The pampering is already great enough, you can't ask for anything more, otherwise it will cause jealousy and the gain will not outweigh the loss.

The concubines above her now have no jealousy, apart from the age difference, and also because she does her job and does not meddle in other people's business, so she does not offend anyone.

When she is older and still has no biological children, she will make other plans.

Since they came to announce the good news, the Queen Mother asked Nanny Bai to give them generous rewards and titles. Then she smiled at the princes and their wives and said, "You are here today to share the good news. I hope you can give birth to a little prince soon, and then he can study with his uncle."

The First Concubine smiled shyly and glanced at the Twelfth Concubine and the Thirteenth Concubine.

The three of them married into the royal family in the same year, and nothing happened. They just hoped that it would be just as the empress dowager said, and everyone would be happy.

The Third Concubine had two pairs of children and didn't want to have any more children. But when she looked at the Fourth Concubine and thought about Shushu who was about to give birth, she wanted to have another son.

There is no such thing as too many legitimate sons.

Can’t be less than Shushu.

It would be even better if Shushu gave birth to a princess this time.

If I could have six sons and seven daughters like the Consort of An County Prince, then...

Forget it then...

For more than 20 years, I did nothing but give birth to and raise children. It's annoying just thinking about it...

After the sisters-in-law came out of the palace, the Seventh Lady got on the Fourth Lady's carriage.

She was planning to visit Shushu and happened to talk to the Fourth Lady on the way.

The Tenth Lady also came up and asked the Fourth Lady, "When will the Second and Third Princes of the Fourth Sister-in-law's family be vaccinated?"

The fourth lady said, "Our master has chosen a date from the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, in February next year."

The Seventh Lady looked at the Tenth Lady and said, "Your little prince is still young, why are you so anxious?"

The Tenth Lady shook her head and said, "I'm not in a hurry. I'm just wondering if I can avoid implantation. I had a high fever for several days when I was teething a while ago. I'm scared..."

In the eyes of the Tenth Lady, giving birth to a child is difficult, and raising a child is even more difficult.

As long as she thought of the possibility of something bad happening, she would not let her child try it.

The Fourth Lady said, "This... since the introduction of vaccination, almost all the royal heirs have to go through this. My sister-in-law and my tenth brother should discuss this carefully. Anyway, your prince is still young, so even if he needs to be vaccinated, it will be next year or the year after next."

The Tenth Lady hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard from our master that Fengsheng and the others will also be vaccinated together. This is really worrying."

After hearing this, the Fourth Lady also felt tired.

This was my master who volunteered. Knowing that the Ninth Prince and his wife would be unable to spare the time, he just took over.

But the Fourth Prince's concerns are correct. The sooner the child is vaccinated, the better.

As you get older, you are more likely to have accidents if you have a high fever.

As soon as you can speak clearly, you should plant it when the weather is cool.

Because the triplets were born from multiple births, their foundation needs to be adjusted. It is not too early to get vaccinated at the age of four next year.

The Seventh Lady now believed in karma and could not bear to hear such unlucky words. She looked at the Tenth Lady and said, "It's just vaccination. We have to go through this. Fengsheng and the others will be fine. Don't worry, sister-in-law."

If you want to worry, worry about your own family and don't worry about other people's.

The Tenth Lady didn't realize she had said something wrong, so she nodded and said, "Seventh Sister-in-law is right. Our master also said that Ninth Brother and Ninth Sister-in-law are still thinking about taking the children out to play after they are no longer afraid of strangers..."
