My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1771 Summoning
Looking at the well-behaved and lovely Seventeenth Princess, Shu Shu said with tenderness on her face, "You're welcome. We are all family."

The Seventeenth Princess did not say any more words of thanks, but she leaned closer to Shushu more and more affectionately.

She knew that she had many family members, both inside Chuxiu Palace and outside Chuxiu Palace.

It’s just that people in Chuxiu Palace see it every day, while people outside Chuxiu Palace only hear about it from the Empress.

This time, there are also people outside the palace.

The Ninth Prince was quite satisfied when he saw that the Seventeenth Princess was very close to Shushu.

He is a child who knows right from wrong. He didn't make the couple work in vain, so it can be considered a good relationship.

As for the Nineteenth Prince, he still doesn't remember much, so he is at a disadvantage.

Although they are biological brother and sister, there is such a big age gap between them and they are born to different mothers. It is nonsense to say that they have sibling affection.

The Ninth Prince looked at them with a level of distance from his nephews, treating them like the children of his relatives...

Haidian, North Second Institute.

The Seventh Lady looked at the baby girl in her cradle and asked the maid beside her, "Is everything ready outside? Is the carriage ready?"

The girl said, "I'm already waiting."

The Seventh Lady said, "Let's go!"

The maid hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, aren't you waiting for the Third and Fifth Fujins?"

The Seventh Lady shook her head and said, "No need!"

Both families had children suffering from smallpox. If she had not been vaccinated before, she would have wanted to move back to Beijing long ago.

Anyway, ever since the smallpox incident at the South Second Institute, the three families have had no contact with each other, and the sisters-in-law haven't seen each other for months.

The day before yesterday, the Seventh Prince came over and told me that the Emperor would be moving to Changchun Garden in mid-month on the orders of the Empress Dowager. Then the Seventh Lady knew that it was time to move back.

I didn't leave yesterday because I asked someone to clean up the house in Prince's Mansion.

In the dead of winter, even if you have a ground dragon, you should use the fumigation cage more often to warm the house to avoid moisture.

As for waiting for the Third and Fifth Fujins...

The Seventh Lady’s face was cold.

There is no need to talk about the smallpox epidemic in the capital, the smallpox epidemic in Haidian is obviously a man-made disaster.

As an innocent innocent who was almost affected by the disaster, the Seventh Lady was also annoyed.

Unfortunately, one of them lost her eldest daughter, and the other had a sickly son. Compared to them, I was completely unscathed, and I had no place to vent my anger...

The first one is next to the second one.

As soon as the carriage started moving, the head officer got the news.

The Fifth Lady also knew about the Emperor's eighteenth relocation and was in no hurry to leave.

I was afraid that my son would feel uncomfortable due to the bumpy road, so I wanted to put it off until he was sixteen.

When the Fifth Prince came in, he saw Lady Wu doing needlework, which was the younger prince's undergarment.

Seeing that everything was not packed, the Fifth Prince frowned and said, "The Seventh Prince's wife has moved out today, so let's not delay any longer and go home early..."

This North Residence is next to the Empress Dowager's North Garden. It would be better to leave as soon as possible to avoid staying here and getting worried.

The Fifth Lady raised her head, looked at the Fifth Prince and said, "Master, didn't the Empress Dowager come at the age of eighteen? There are still ten days left..."

The Fifth Prince said, "Go back early and have someone clean up this courtyard and burn what needs to be burned."

Fifth Lady: “…”

Seeing that she lowered her head and didn't respond, the Fifth Prince felt upset and told the maid in the room, "Pack your luggage and return to Beijing tomorrow!"

After saying this, he lifted the curtain and went out without waiting for the Fifth Lady's reaction.

One lesson is enough.

In the future, you should make your own decisions wherever you can.

The Fifth Lady looked at the swaying door curtain, her face pale...

*
The second south building is the main house.

The Third Lady put on a shawl and wore a Zhaojun hat on her head.

A melon-shaped face is revealed among the long fox fur.

She had already finished her confinement after giving birth, and this time she had sustained a serious injury, and she looked extremely weak.

Being so weak, he should have continued to rest.

However, she knew the importance of things, and knew that in front of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, the prince's wife, the emperor's grandson, and the emperor's granddaughter were nothing.

If you are sick, you have to make room for him, otherwise it would be unfilial.

Therefore, she made similar arrangements as the Seventh Lady and returned to Beijing today.

When we got on the carriage, we saw a carriage parked on the roadside ahead.

It turned out that the Seventh Lady was in the car in front. Knowing that the Third Lady's car was coming, she ordered people to make way.

The Third Lady wanted to draw aside the curtain to exchange a few words, but when she thought about how they had also brought their two daughters here to avoid smallpox, and that her eldest daughter had died while the Seventh Lady's eldest daughter, who had congenital defects, was fine, she lost interest in talking.

The carriage passed directly past the Seventh Lady's carriage and drove away with a "da da" sound.

Haitang was accompanying the Seventh Lady in the car. Seeing this, she glanced at the Seventh Lady and said, "Master, the Third Lady is probably feeling uncomfortable."

The Seventh Lady snorted coldly, "Let her be. Does she need someone to coax her?"

At first I thought that the Third Lady was just strong-willed in words, but after what happened I realized that she was really a fool.

It’s better to stay away from them to avoid being led astray.

The two carriages entered the city one after the other.

However, after entering Deshengmen, the Seventh Lady ordered the carriage to go to the northern official residence.

She had a lot of things to say to Shushu.

But it’s just a thought.

When passing by the Ninth Prince's Mansion, she lifted the curtain, took a look, and then ordered the carriage to leave.

Now is not the time to visit.

Maybe we will have to wait until the Chinese New Year to see him.

Then, the Seventh Lady slapped her forehead.

I'm really stupid. Shushu's due date is in the first month of the lunar year, and she will be staying at home waiting for delivery.

She leaned back and said to Haitang, "Ninth Lady is really courageous. No one would have thought that she would agree to vaccinate the children at this time. At my age, if something goes wrong with the vaccination, my mother and I would not be well. It's worrying just thinking about it."

Haitang said, "There are so many people working in this mansion that it's hard to guard against them. The three young masters of the Ninth Lady's family are also very eye-catching. I guess the Ninth Master and the Ninth Lady are afraid that someone will get jealous and cause trouble."

The Seventh Lady nodded and said, "Yes, who could have thought that the smallpox epidemic would be so severe this time? The Ninth Lady is a smart person, and our master is also smart..."

In the capital, no one has ever heard of a six-month-old child being vaccinated.

This also sets a precedent.

*
Prince Cheng's Mansion is adjacent to Prince Zhi's Mansion.

The Third Lady took the children back home, and the First Lady received the news at noon.

She couldn't help but hesitate.

As a sister-in-law, I should have visited Dao Nao at this time.

But the pain of losing a daughter cannot be comforted by just a few words.

It’s not good to ignore it. If you ask, it’s been a month since the incident happened. Don’t bring up Sanfu Jin’s pain again.

The first wife was unsure.

When the eldest prince returned home, the eldest wife invited him over.

"Master, should I go over to check it out? Or should I just go over to see him?"

The eldest wife told about her difficulties.

The eldest prince thought about it and shook his head, saying, "Forget it. Now is not the time to visit relatives. If you really want to visit the Third Lady and then the Fifth Lady, your brothers and sisters will have to follow you. Otherwise, it will be disrespectful. Now that the smallpox epidemic has not completely passed, you should all stay calm and talk about it after this period of time."

The eldest wife was a person who listened to advice, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, Master."

The eldest prince remembered that she had taken the eldest and second princesses as housekeepers, and asked, "How are the two housekeepers doing?"

The eldest wife praised: "The eldest princess is thoughtful and the second princess is meticulous, both are excellent, so you can rest assured..."

At this point, she remembered something, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke, "It's the uncle's family. They sent people over every month this year. The aunt's wife was also very attentive when she came, and she even asked about the second princess..."

After hearing this, the eldest prince's face drooped and he said, "Thank you for your kindness. Come again next time. Don't be so polite!"

Seeing his intention and knowing that he had no intention of getting closer to the Irgen Gioro family, the first wife heaved a sigh of relief.

With the passing of the thirty-eight-year-old master, none of his children have become successful.

He wanted to become a royal consort, but he had no talent to show for it, so he had to rely on the favor of the first wife.

But even considering the relationship, there is no reason to marry my daughter off to a lower class.

After the eldest prince was annoyed, he thought of the identity of the eldest wife and knew that she would be embarrassed in front of Mrs. Irgenjueluo, so he said, "If she brings this up again, you can say that I have found a candidate and am just waiting for the eldest princess to point out the engagement after marriage."

The second princess is fourteen this year, less than a year younger than the eldest princess.

The two sisters’ marriages must have been arranged at the same time.

Thinking of this, the eldest prince felt that time was passing quickly.

The eldest wife nodded in agreement, without asking which family the candidate was from.

She could see that the eldest prince doted on his daughters who had lost their mothers, and they were all trying to keep them in Beijing.

The candidate for the son-in-law was either the Taiji of the Mongolian tribes in Beijing, or a noble family of the Eight Banners.

She lowered her head, somewhat worried that she would give birth to a little princess in the future.

It is impossible for all the princesses in this family to stay in Beijing. There must be someone to take care of them.

I gave birth to a little princess, and I have both parents. Compared with the others, I have enjoyed too much happiness. I might be spoiled...

*
As the wives of several princes returned to Beijing one after another, members of the royal family and noble families who had been staying in Haidian to avoid smallpox also left one after another.

Either move to another place to avoid acne, or go back to Beijing directly.

Due to dozens of days of investigation by the governors of each banner, all the smallpox patients in the inner city were quarantined outside the capital, and the inner city became a safe place.

At this time, Fusong, who was on duty at the Ninth Prince's Mansion, received an oral order from Kangxi and was summoned to the Qianqing Palace to meet the emperor.

By the time the Ninth Prince received the news and rushed to the front, Fusong had already left with the guard who delivered the oral order.

The Ninth Prince was a little worried and asked Cui Baisui, "What did the visitor say? Why did he leave without even waiting for me?"

Cui Baisui said, "The one who came was the second-class shrimp of the Qianqing Palace. He said that the emperor had given an oral order to summon Master Fu to see the emperor. Please wait immediately. Master Fu followed him."

The Ninth Prince couldn't think of the reason for a moment, so he returned to the main courtyard and said to Shushu, "I don't know what's going on. Do you want me to go to the palace with you?"

Shu Shu shook her head and said, "If the emperor wanted to pass on the throne to me, he wouldn't have just passed it on to Fu Song. These days, our mansion has been sealed off to avoid smallpox, and my father and I have been accompanying the children to endure it. Fu Song has worked so hard, even if he has no credit, he has worked hard, so it shouldn't be a bad thing..."

After hearing this, the Ninth Prince was moved and said, "Is it because the Seventeenth Princess and the Nineteenth Prince were successfully vaccinated against smallpox? Do they want to summon Fusong to ask for details? So will they ask him to bring back the reward?"

Shushu thought for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be this. The credit belongs to me. I will be accompanying my entourage on a hunt in two days. I can't praise them in any way. There's no need to set up a barrier..."
