My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1830 Demonic Wind
"Sir, don't say that anymore. The princes in the palace, except for the Crown Prince and the Tenth Prince, are all born to the imperial concubines. They are all the masters..."

Jueluo said.

Although several young princes were born to common women, the noble lady was registered as a member of the Li family and used the status of a bondservant.

The key point is that their brother-in-law, the Ninth Prince, was also born to a bannerman concubine.

What would Ninth Prince think if I accidentally showed this attitude in my daily life?

Qi Xi exhaled and said, "It's different for the princes. The nobility comes from the emperor. I heard someone say that the reward given to the wife of Prince Ping by the palace was sent by Cao Yin's daughter."

The wife of Prince Ping, Guaerjia, was Prince Ping's stepmother. The age difference between mother and son was seven years.

When Prince Pingdao passed away, Guaerjia was only seventeen years old and pregnant with a posthumous daughter. She was taken back by her natal family to observe chastity for her and now lives in her natal family.

She was widowed at a young age and was still young in generation, being the emperor's grandson, so the empress dowager took good care of her.

But everyone knew that the Empress Dowager didn't care about anything. Whether this Princess Cao was appointed as the princess's study companion or educated in the inner court, it was all the grace bestowed by the Emperor on the Cao family.

After hearing this, Jueluo was silent, and after a while she said, "Are you overthinking it?"

It's too mismatched that a bondservant woman is the legitimate wife of a royal prince with an iron hat.

"She was brought up in the inner court and became a study companion to the princess. She couldn't be assigned to the prince as a princess. She was most likely a legitimate wife of the royal family..."

Qi Xi said.

However, arranged marriages among clan members were limited to close relatives, so there was not much room for choice.

Prince Ping was not a close relative of the royal family, but he was raised in the inner court, which was different.

Jueluo said: "Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the emperor, so don't worry about others!"

But by then, the ones who will be embarrassed are the side branches of Prince Kang’s Mansion and Prince Ping’s Mansion.

Qi Xi nodded and said nothing else.

There are only so many flag vacancies. The vacancies of lower ranks are limited to various flag colors; but the vacancies of higher ranks are not limited to flag colors and can be in their own wings.

In recent years, the emperor has liked to use idle members of the royal family. Many royal guards have been released to serve as generals-in-chief and deputy generals-in-chief. These people have occupied many vacancies in the banners of noble families.

After a few years, those who are released to serve as provincial governors may be replaced by bondservants.

These bondservants have the emperor's favor, but what they lack is the support of respectable in-laws.

In this way, the emperor never lacked people to serve him, and naturally he preferred to use the three banners' Baoyi.

Like Zengshou, the heir of a noble mansion has to wait for three years before the vacancy can be filled. This is not uncommon in the future...

Jiubele Mansion, main room.

Because of Gui Dan, both the Ninth Prince and Shu Shu recalled the past.

March of the thirty-seventh year...

It was four and a half years ago, but it seems like a long time ago.

"My eyes were on my forehead, and I looked at people through my nostrils..."

Shushu recalled the confrontation between the two in the back hall of the North City Bingmasi Yamen.

"Mr. Jin..."

Shushu thought of the arrogant Ninth Prince when he was young, and her eyebrows curved.

Fortunately, Fengsheng and the others did not follow the Ninth Prince's temper, otherwise he would have been beaten three times a day.

The Ninth Prince also recalled the situation where Shushu opened his mouth and closed his mouth to recite the "Great Qing Law".

"Whose eyes are on his forehead?"

He was even trying to be clever by bringing out Fusong to scare people.

Even though Guidan was a new upstart, his status was not as high as Fusong's, so he was completely defeated.

At that time, he used a pseudonym to hide his identity as a prince, and could only watch Shushu and Fusong being proud.

As the couple was talking, Shushu's stomach started to move.

I don’t know if it was a little hand or a little foot, but it touched Shushu gently.

Shushu lowered her head and touched her belly.

Be at peace and have a good Lantern Festival before coming back to earth.

Last time I raised three premature babies, Fengsheng and his sister, and I was worried for half a year.

This time, be healthy.

At this moment, there were messy footsteps coming from outside.

It was Cui Baisui who came hurriedly with Wang Changshou.

"Master Jiu, Lady Jiu, our Princess Guo Luoluo started to recover this morning, but now she is not feeling well. Our master sent me here to ask Imperial Doctor Jiang to come over..."

Wang Changshou greeted the two of them and then went straight to the point.

Ever since Shushu was seven months old, there has been an imperial physician on duty here, and that physician is their old acquaintance, Imperial Physician Jiang.

The Ninth Prince was startled and stood up immediately.

"Then why are you still wasting time? Go to the front and call for help..."

Then he said to Shushu, "I'll go take a look, otherwise I'll be worried..."

Shu Shu nodded and said, "Go quickly, Master..."

The inner house of Prince Dun's mansion now has one wife, two princesses, and two or three concubines.

However, Princess Guo Luoluo is different after all. She is the first princess of the Tenth Prince.

Before the prince's wedding, he would ask the princess to teach him about personnel matters.

The others were two princesses, but for the Tenth Prince, only one was appointed in order to give respect to the future Tenth Wife.

Before the Tenth Prince's wedding, the two of them had spent two years in the Prince's residence, so naturally they had some feelings for each other.

Seeing Shushu worried, Baiguo comforted her: "Don't worry too much, Fu Jin. I remember clearly that the Tenth Fu Jin said that Guo Luoluo Gege's pregnancy is one month older than Fu Jin's, so it's full-term..."

Shushu glanced at Baiguo and didn't want to mention the dangers for a first-time mother, for fear of scaring her.

She nodded and said, "Yes, it's time to make it happen. Even if things are not going well for a while, they will eventually turn around."

Baiguo brought a small stool over, sat next to the kang, and massaged Shushu's legs.

"Speaking of this Princess Guoluo, there have been some rumors recently, saying that she is the niece of our queen, and that the Ninth Master favors this cousin and interferes with the Tenth Master's inner house..."

Baiguo had a troubled look on his face as he talked about the gossip he had heard recently.

Shushu felt something was wrong when she heard this.

"How can this be related? Princess Guoluolu is a bondservant of the Zhenghuang Banner in the capital, and my empress's family was a bondservant of the Xianghuang Banner in Shengjing before they were promoted to the banner. We are not from the same place, and we even crossed banners..."

Bai Guo nodded and said, "This nonsense is ridiculous. It doesn't seem to be made up by someone in the flag. I'm afraid they don't know what the flag color is at all."

Shushu listened, thoughtful.

These words didn't seem to be intended to sow discord between the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince, but rather between the Tenth Lady and her.

If the Tenth Lady was foolish enough to believe these words, she would feel uncomfortable.

But isn’t this evil wind blowing a little late?
If the Tenth Lady had just married the Tenth Prince, she might have really believed it.

It has been four years since the wedding, and the Tenth Concubine is no longer a helpless person.

The Tenth Lady also knew a lot about the flag colors and the population of the flag members.

This fabricated nonsense has become a joke.

"Where did I recruit this villain from..."

Shushu murmured.

Bai Guo thought about it carefully and said, "Fujin, could it be that Princess Guo Luoluo usually said something that caused people to misunderstand?"

After hearing this, Shushu's face turned pale.

If the evil wind really originated from Princess Guo Luoluo, then this was a despicable act.

Princess Guo Luoluo was about to give birth, and it was a very anxious time before delivery.

If there is someone around you who is doing bad things, intimidating and tempting you, what is the difference between that and murder?
I hope I'm overthinking it.

Shushu touched her stomach, yawned, and her eyelids felt heavy.

I feel sleepy after eating.

It is indeed not a good time to use your brain during pregnancy.

Seeing this, Bai Guo stopped pressing Shu Shu's legs, took out a blanket and covered him with it: "Take a rest..."

Shu Shu nodded, lay on her side, and closed her eyes...

When she opened her eyes again, the lights in the room were on.

The Ninth Prince has returned and is sitting on the kang.

Seeing the Ninth Prince's expression clearly, Shushu's heart sank and she sat up.

The Ninth Prince heard the noise and looked over.

Shushu didn't know how to start.

If there was anything wrong with Princess Guo Luoluo, the Ninth Prince would not have such an expression.

That is the little prince or princess...

The Ninth Prince did not wait for her to ask, and took the initiative to say: "The little prince died when he was born..."

Shushu was surprised and said, "It's already full-term, how could this happen?"

The baby was born in the morning and before sunset, so the time was not too long.

"The imperial physician said that Guo Luoluo's pregnancy was not a good sign. The little prince suffered a lot in the womb..."

The Ninth Prince said with anger: "I don't know how the Tenth Prince's wife takes care of people. This Guo Luoluo is also unlucky. Poor Tenth Prince, he has to bear the pain of losing his son..."

Shu Shu was silent.

She couldn't empathize with the Ninth Prince.

She was a little worried about the Tenth Lady.

The situation of the Third Prince's several illegitimate sons was similar. Some died at birth or during the confinement period, and the Third Prince's wife was criticized.

When it comes to the Tenth Lady, it is no exception...
