My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1757 Choice
When the Third Lady listened, she felt her head buzzing.

She looked at the maid and asked, "How could the fourth princess be pregnant?"

The maid cried and said, "I don't know. I have a high fever and I have started to have rashes."

The Third Lady's face turned pale.

In these two institutes, besides the Fourth Princess, there were four other children who had not been vaccinated: the First Princess, the Second Princess, the Third Princess and the Sixth Prince!
She patted her chest and stood up, saying, "Arrange people to go to the third residence to prepare the situation. Move the eldest princess, the second princess, the third princess and the sixth prince to the third residence later..."

The prince's residence was not big, just a small courtyard with three entrances.

All these slaves and masters swarmed in and strictly controlled the outside of the house, but they could not control the inside.

How did this smallpox epidemic come about?
The prince immediately moved.

Crowds of people.

The Third Lady was the legal mother, so she had no choice but to go to the fourth wing of the house where the Fourth Lady was staying to visit.

The fourth princess's face was red, her brows were furrowed, and there were tiny red rashes on her cheeks.

The Third Lady looked at this and felt extremely confused.

If it was the Third Princess and the Sixth Prince getting married, it wouldn't be so difficult.

This was something that Tian Gege came up with. If something really happened, Tian would definitely take advantage of it.

There is already a precedent for Tian.

Because she had killed the second prince, she kept holding on to me and regarded me as her enemy. Later, she joined forces with other princesses and regarded me as a cruel and jealous mistress.

Half of his reputation was ruined by the Tian family.

The maid supported the Third Lady and was also worried.

After the court doctor came over to examine her, it was confirmed that the Fourth Princess did have acne.

Now I can only drink "acne-removing powder" to endure it.

Wait until the flowers bloom and the fever subsides, and you have survived; if the flowers are suppressed and the high fever does not subside, then it will be dangerous.

It is now the second watch and the city gates have long been closed.

Here, everything about the prince's place is decided by the Third Lady herself.

The Third Lady stood by the kang, looking at the little Fourth Princess, and felt a chill in her heart.

Who can tell what is going on in this melon field and plum field?
I brought five children here to avoid smallpox. If all of them got smallpox, other people wouldn't be able to say anything if two of them were my biological daughters. But would the Third Prince believe me if only Tian was the only one?
The Third Lady returned to the principal room, but she was still like a trapped beast.

The maid said, "Master, this... we have to be careful that the disease will spread to the Sixth Prince. If something happens to the Sixth Prince, then..."

The Third Lady looked at her trusted maid and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The terrible result is that the fourth princess cannot stand.

The worse result would be that the Sixth Prince would also be affected.

The three illegitimate sons at the beginning could be said to be born with congenital defects, and either died on the day they were born or died during the confinement period.

The Sixth Prince is already one and a half years old, just learning to speak, and looks quite chubby. If anything goes wrong with him again, my innocence will be exposed.

The Third Lady felt dizzy in front of her eyes and regretted leaving the city to avoid the smallpox.

If she were in the palace, the Fourth Princess would be raised and cared for by Tian herself, so it would naturally be none of her business.

She looked at the girl and said, "What should we do? We have all been in the same yard these days, who knows if the disease has dissipated..."

That girl didn't dare to make any random suggestions.

At this moment, the nanny who had taken people to the third house to make arrangements came back. She looked at the Third Lady with a worried look on her face.

The Third Lady looked at the maid and said, "I only trust you, so please take the Sixth Prince to the Third Residence!"

The maid was startled and asked, "What about the eldest and second princesses?"

The third wife's face turned pale. After a while, she said, "The eldest and second princesses won't move..."

After a night of chaos and war, the next morning, San Fu Jin sent someone back to the capital to report the news.

In addition to reporting the news, we also need to invite a royal physician who is good at pediatrics to come.

Ninth Prince's Mansion, West Wing.

Seeing the heat on Niguzhu's face subside, Shushu and the Ninth Prince both breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Shushu's dark circles under his eyes, Madam Bo urged him, "Go back and catch up on your sleep."

Shushu and the Ninth Prince left the west wing, but they still felt uneasy, so they went to the back room.

Fengsheng and Akdan had not shown any symptoms yet and were sleeping soundly.

The couple looked at each other before returning to the main room, having breakfast and then catching up on some sleep.

*
Prince Cheng’s Mansion, front yard.

The third prince rested in the study and started to be a vegetarian from the first day of the new year.

At this time, we can only rely on gods and Buddhas.

When his three illegitimate sons died one after another in his early years, he did not feel too sad, because either they died at birth or during the confinement period, and he only met them once in total and there was no affection between them.

It's different now.

The youngest three princesses, the fourth princess, are nine months old and can obviously learn to speak.

The Second Princess and the Sixth Prince can both call him "Ama".

The eldest princess is almost able to open her eyes.

He drank millet porridge and ate a basket of vegetarian dumplings stuffed with cabbage and vermicelli. He was about to go to the palace when someone from Haidian came over with a message.

The fourth princess is happy, but the eldest princess has a high fever, so the third wife asks for the imperial physician.

The third prince was startled.

The Fourth Princess is the beloved daughter of a favorite concubine, and the First Princess is the eldest legitimate daughter!

He hurriedly ordered the eunuch beside him, "Take my badge and go to the Imperial Hospital to invite the imperial physician and the smallpox doctor to go to Haidian..."

In addition to taking care of his two daughters, he also wanted to vaccinate the second princess and the sixth prince.

Who would have thought that leaving the city to avoid smallpox would not be avoided?

Are the remaining children safe?

You know, before the promotion of smallpox vaccination, every year when smallpox broke out, many children died.

The eunuch did not dare to delay and went to the Imperial Hospital to find someone.

The third prince had a kind heart and asked someone to arrange a horse and planned to leave the city.

When they arrived at the gate of Xizhimen, he pulled the reins.

The more this time comes, the more of a test it is.

Everything you do will be reported to the emperor.

It is a big taboo to put personal interests above public ones.

He swallowed, moved his throat, turned his horse around and headed towards the palace.

This smallpox epidemic is so severe that even I am not immune, so what about other families?
When they arrived at the South Study, they saw the Fifth and Seventh Princes. The Third Prince said, "Oh, my Fourth Princess is pregnant. Although my family is in the South Second Residence and your two families are in the North Residence, we are both in Haidian after all. So let's send someone to tell them."

"What? The fourth lady from the third brother's house is seeing a happy occasion?"

The Fifth Prince's eyes widened as he asked, "They all went to Haidian? How did it get reported? Aren't there only a few cases found in the inner city?"

The Third Prince looked at the Seventh Prince and said, "That was the first day of the new year. The Eight Banners had been screening for several days. Let alone a dozen cases, there must have been more than a hundred cases, right?"

The Seventh Prince nodded and said, "The Bordered White Banner alone reported 128 cases..."

If all the Eight Banners were like this, there would be more than a thousand cases in the inner city!

The population of South City is more dense, and the number is only slightly greater.

The Third Prince said bitterly, "What are those people who don't vaccinate thinking? Are they really not afraid of death?"

Even the princes and princesses in the palace were vaccinated against smallpox, so didn’t the servants below know what “following the example of superiors” meant?
The Fifth Prince was worried about the children and said, "This disease spreads too quickly and is hard to prevent. It is safer to vaccinate the children... No, I need to get smallpox vaccine and prepare to vaccinate the children!"

Having said that, he left the South Study Room without telling anyone and went straight to the Imperial Physician's duty room.

The Seventh Prince still looked hesitant.

The few children in his family who were not vaccinated were either sick or too young.

Should I get vaccinated?

It’s a dilemma…

Dezhou, imperial palace.

Looking at the lowered bed curtain, Kangxi looked at the prince's personal eunuch and said, "Lift it up..."

The eunuch did not dare to delay and started the fight carefully.

The prince was sleeping soundly inside, his face pale.

The prince suffered from vomiting and diarrhea last night and tossed and turned all night. He couldn't wake up in the morning, so he reported to the emperor.

Kangxi looked at the prince for a moment and asked for his pulse report.

The evil wind entering the body causes the spleen and stomach to become weak, resulting in acclimatization.

After the pulse diagnosis, there is a prescription written by the imperial physician, which is actually effective for the condition.

"let it go……"

Kangxi ordered someone to lower the curtains and left.

Inside the curtain, the prince slowly opened his eyes, his expression somewhat dull.

The Fourth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince stood at the door, both with worried looks on their faces.

Kangxi came out and motioned for the two to follow.

Yesterday, Duke Yansheng Kong Yuqi came to the court, and today the officials from the Hanlin Academy who accompanied him entered the palace to pay their respects.

The Fourth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince originally thought that since the Crown Prince was ill, the Emperor would come to stay at the Crown Prince's residence and exempt the ministers from the audience.

As a result, the itinerary did not change.

This... seems like the Crown Prince's illness is a small matter...

It seems like this is the first time...

The poets and Duke Yansheng still entered the palace and presented a piece of calligraphy, which was a copy of ancient calligraphy.

After all the ministers had paid their respects, the copied characters were displayed.

Kangxi commented on each one, pointing out many shortcomings, such as the heavy or light brushstrokes, or the differences in density.

At the end of the roll call, he personally wrote the word "朕" for the other ministers to observe.

Looking at the large characters with dancing dragons and phoenixes, the Fourth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince had different feelings.

Who doesn’t want to write this word once?

After seeing the imperial calligraphy, Kangxi instructed Wei Zhu: "Show everyone the calligraphy of the Fourth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince..."

Wei Zhu responded and led the ministers to the left wing of the palace.

There are two curtains with calligraphy hanging over there, which were written by the Fourth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince on orders.

Another round of exclamations and praises...

Jiubele Mansion, main room.

When Shushu opened his eyes again, it was already noon.

The Ninth Prince was still asleep, snoring.

Shushu didn't disturb him. She changed her clothes and went to Ning'an Hall.

She didn't go in, but just stood at the door and called Baiguo to ask questions.

After a few days, Fengsheng and Akdan are both pregnant, and the Seventeenth Princess and the Nineteenth Prince have also been vaccinated. Then she and the Ninth Prince will be nearby to take care of them.

"Seventeenth Princess had a bowl of steamed eggs in the morning, small steamed buns with milk at noon, and half a steamed apple; Nineteenth Prince had steamed eggs at noon, and half a piece of milk cake..."

Bai Guo said carefully: "He seems to be in good spirits. Before taking a nap, the Nineteenth Prince even dragged the wet nurse to take a stroll in the yard before going back to sleep. The Seventeenth Princess is much more quiet and doesn't like to talk..."

Today is the fifth day of the new year.

By the eighth day of the first lunar month, the seventeenth princess and the nineteenth prince can be vaccinated.

Shushu calculated the time in her mind and felt fortunate that they had separated.

If they really had to focus on treating acne on the third day of the first lunar month, she and the Ninth Prince would be too busy to handle it.

At that time, guarding the princess and the prince would be unkind, and guarding your own children would be unfriendly.

The Ninth Prince's Mansion is a world of its own, so naturally he is unaware that there are many families outside who are celebrating the occasion.

The royal family was not spared.

The Prince Yu's Mansion and the Prince Gong's Mansion also reported that they were expecting babies.

As a result, the Imperial Hospital’s pediatricians were no longer enough…
