My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1861: Love for the Child
In the main house, the living room.

The Tenth Prince sat below the Ninth Prince. Seeing the Ninth Prince's uneasy look, he also became worried.

It's not that he likes to think of something unlucky, but he has the lesson of his eldest prince.

It’s better for a couple to be their original spouse…

He came here in the afternoon to bring milk cakes to the children. After knowing that Shushu was born, he stayed here and did not go back.

Knowing that Jue Luo was here to accompany her during the birthing, he did not call the Tenth Lady over.

There are too many people and it becomes a mess, which only adds to the trouble.

I guess everyone will be surprised when they know about the launch here tomorrow.

Fortunately, it happened today. If it happened tomorrow, there would be some gossips and speculations about whether we deliberately wanted the child to be born on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

"Master, the wife has given birth. Both mother and child are safe. The little prince weighs seven and a half kilograms..."

He Yuzhu came back briskly to report the good news to his master, and spoke of the most important things as soon as he came in.

The Ninth Prince stood up and said, "What's the matter? Do you want the imperial physician to take your pulse?"

He Yuzhu said, "Madam said that Fu Jin has relaxed and is eating."

The Ninth Prince was worried and looked at Doctor Jiang.

Doctor Jiang stood up and said, "Then shall I go and take Fu Jin's pulse?"

Men should avoid entering the delivery room as they may easily suffer bloody disasters.

But for doctors, since they are not afraid of ghosts and gods, there is no such taboo.

The Ninth Prince nodded and said, "Then go!"

Having said that, he called for Doctor Jiang to go out.

Qi Xi stood up and looked at the back of the Ninth Prince with worry on his face.

Fu Song comforted her: "Sister has always been in good health, don't worry too much..."

Zhuliang also felt that as long as mother and child were safe, everything was going well. What was there to worry about?
Qi Xi looked at his two sons and said unhappily, "The youngest brother weighs seven and a half kilograms. Don't you think about how heavy the eldest and second brothers are when they fall to the ground..."

It’s not okay not to be a father. It’s short-sighted.

Fusong and Zhuliang came to their senses and started to worry.

Giving birth to a little prince is twice as heavy as giving birth to the other one, so the adult will definitely suffer.

The Tenth Prince was standing nearby, thinking of his second son who died at birth. He looked like a kitten, and was not weighed, but judging from his appearance, he was about the same weight as Akdan when he was born, just over three pounds.

If the baby had grown bigger in the womb, it wouldn't have died.

The Tenth Prince let out a sigh, not wanting to think about it anymore, and ordered Cao Shun: "Go hang up the bow..."

Today is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and tomorrow is New Year's Eve.

This bow is hung out to serve as a reminder to people in the streets ahead and behind.

During the New Year, just set off firecrackers for your own goodness sake. Don’t set off too many or you may scare the children.

Cao Shun agreed and went to make arrangements.

The bow and red silk were prepared in advance.

Although Shushu and the Ninth Prince both hoped to have a little prince, they didn't know when the time would come, and no one could say for sure whether it would be a little prince or a little princess, so they were preparing for both situations.

In the central hall of the west wing, the Ninth Prince stretched his head, trying to look towards the north room.

Baiguo led Doctor Jiang in to take the patient's pulse.

Jueluo said, "Fujin was too tired, she ate half a bowl of noodle tea and fell asleep."

However, since the patient is asleep, there is no delay in taking his pulse.

Otherwise, the Ninth Prince would be worried, and the Jueluo family would also be concerned.

After all, the child is too big, and I’m afraid there will be deficiencies in the mother’s body.

The Ninth Prince said, "Mother-in-law, since the wife is weak, would you like to take a ginseng lozenge?"

He prepared all the first-class ginseng.

Jueluo said: "Listen to the imperial physician..."

At this moment, Bai Guo led the imperial physician out of the north room.

"Fujin is fine, but she is exhausted and has lost blood and qi after childbirth. You can't use any prescriptions now. Eat some tonic food for a few days and use some lochia-removing prescriptions. Wait until the seventh day, if the lochia is completely discharged, then use donkey-hide gelatin and Guipi pills..."

Doctor Jiang said.

The Ninth Prince took note of it carefully, but still worriedly asked, "Does the concubine need to observe a double confinement period this time?"

Doctor Jiang shook his head and said, "That's not necessary. Mrs. Fu has been in good health, so a month of confinement is enough."

"How can that be possible? The little prince weighs seven and a half kilograms. He has taken up all of Madam Fu's energy and blood. How can we take care of him in a month?"

The Ninth Prince frowned, disagreeing with Doctor Jiang's diagnosis.

Doctor Jiang: “…”

I hate amateurs like this.

However, he also knew that the Ninth Prince loved his wife dearly, and this was not something that needed to be argued about, so he followed the Ninth Prince's words and said, "If the Ninth Master is worried, then Fu Jin can leave the confinement room after 42 days."

The Ninth Prince was finally satisfied and nodded, saying, "That's how it should be. Giving birth is so hard, how can you rest for a month? Forty-two days is not that long."

Jueluo was standing nearby and felt that it was inappropriate.

Last time Shushu was in confinement for two months, rumors spread that both mother and child were dead; this time she is in confinement for a long month, and I don’t know what kind of nonsense people will make up.

She had no intention of stopping him.

Compared to the gossip outside, Shushu’s health is the most important.

This was the Ninth Prince's idea again. Even if Jueluo had some objections, she would not interfere in an annoying way.

Although Shushu gave birth safely, Doctor Jiang's duty at the palace was not over yet.

After giving birth, women should prevent metrorrhagia; the confinement period for newborns is also dangerous.

Although Shushu's health is better than that of ordinary women and the young prince looks strong, the possibility of that happening is very small, but one should never be afraid of a thousand things.

Imperial Physician Jiang has to continue to be on duty.

He could only resign and return to the Imperial Hospital after Shushu had finished her confinement.

The Ninth Prince ordered He Yuzhu to send him back to the guest room in the front yard.

We all stayed up all afternoon and didn’t even have a proper dinner, especially since it was the New Year.

Xiaotang came over to deliver the food, took the lunch box and went into the north room, and came out of the north room after a while.

The Ninth Prince remembered that no one had eaten yet, so he ordered Xiao Tang: "Ask the kitchen to prepare three tables again, one for the main room, one for this side, and one for Doctor Jiang..."

Jueluo said, "Two tables are enough. I will go back to the main room to eat."

Xiaochun is looking after the child here, and Baiguo and Xiaosong are looking after Shushu, so there is nothing to worry about.

The Ninth Prince glanced at the door curtain of the north room again. He was still worried, so he walked to the door, lifted the door curtain, and took a look inside.

Shushu was lying there with her eyes closed, while Xiaosong was sitting on a stool, eating a plate of meat buns.

She noticed the Ninth Prince's gaze and stood up awkwardly.

The Ninth Prince made a gesture to her to keep quiet and looked at Shushu again.

Seeing that she looked calm and nothing seemed unusual, the Ninth Prince felt relieved and lowered the cotton curtain.

Jueluo saw it and looked at the Ninth Prince with an even more loving gaze.

In today's world, it is common for men to take concubines and maids, let alone the royal family.

The Ninth Prince loved Shushu so much that he didn't say anything in front of his mother-in-law, but he was happy for his daughter in his heart.

This marriage was arranged by the Emperor, and whether it is good or bad, it will last a lifetime.

The love and affection in the early days of marriage is nothing, as young people are greedy for sex and novelty; but it is rare for a couple to still be as loving as they were at the beginning after five years of marriage.

Even if the relationship between husband and wife fades in the future, they will still be like a family and will show more care and love to each other.

The Ninth Prince felt embarrassed by being looked at, and said, "It is because I am not steady and have wild thoughts that I have to see Fu Jin with my own eyes before I can feel at ease..."

"Master Jiu is a man of great loyalty and righteousness. It is a blessing for Shushu to be Master Jiu's wife..."

Jueluo praised sincerely.

The Ninth Prince said sincerely, "It is my son-in-law's blessing. These past few years have been good days that I never dreamed of."

Jueluo: "..."

This is a bit exaggerated.

As the son of a favorite concubine, his life would not be bad if he changed his wife.

The Ninth Prince couldn't help but look in the direction of the Eighth Prince's Mansion.

Earlier he was the Eighth Prince's little follower, and a willing follower at that.

We grew up together, so it would be a lie to say that I was not aware of the Eighth Prince's arrogance.

If he continued to get involved with the Eighth Prince, he would have one more son who would be scrutinized by his brothers and hated by the Khan.

Maybe he is not the only one involved, and the tenth brother will be implicated as well.

Thinking of this, the Ninth Prince couldn't help but shudder...

Seeing that the Ninth Prince had a gloomy face and did not mention the Youngest Prince, Jueluo felt a little worried.

She was worried that the Ninth Prince would dislike his youngest son because he loved his wife.

If there is any grudge in their hearts, it will affect the relationship between father and son.

She said, "Master Jiu hasn't seen the little prince yet, let's go and see him..."

As Jueluo spoke, he pointed to the south room.

The Ninth Prince looked over and did not move.

Jueluo slowed down her voice and said, "Fujin just said that the little prince is very filial and loves his mother. From the time he saw the blood to the time he was born, it took less than five hours. I have never seen such a well-behaved child."

The Ninth Prince then moved and followed Jueluo to the south room.

In addition to the little prince, there were two wet nurses and Xiao Chun in the south room.

Seeing two people come in, the three of them stood up.

The little brother was sleeping and had not yet gotten into the stroller. He was wrapped tightly in swaddling clothes, with a small soft hat on his head, and was sleeping soundly.

The Ninth Prince leaned over and his eyes fell on the youngest prince's face.

Everything about him looks familiar, but I can't tell who he resembles.

Unlike his brothers and sisters.

When the triplets were born, their features were clearly visible.

Only this one jumping alone, I can't tell who he looks like.

The Ninth Prince watched without blinking, and finally felt like a father for the second time.

Looking at the little brother's chubby face, he couldn't help but smile.

He is indeed a filial child and looks well-raised. At least Mrs. Fujin doesn't have to worry about taking care of the child anymore.

Thinking of the interaction between father and son when the little prince was in the womb, the Ninth Prince's eyes showed a little more love.

After coming out of the south room, the ninth prince asked Jueluo, "Mother-in-law, who do you think the little prince looks like? He looks familiar to me, but he doesn't look exactly like Fu Jin..."

When Jueluo saw him turn around, she put her heart at ease and said with a smile, "The little prince's mouth and hair are like those of Fu Jin, his nose is exactly the same as Jiu Ye's, and his eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to those of the second prince. Does he look like the queen?"

The Ninth Prince nodded and said, "That's right. He looks like everyone, yet not completely like anyone. The little guy is quite good at growing up!"

As they talked, the two of them went back to the upper room together.

In the main room, everyone was waiting anxiously.

Seeing the Ninth Prince and Jueluo return, everyone finally put their minds at ease.

"How is Fu Jin?"

Qi Xi looked at his wife and asked.

Jueluo said: "She just ate something and went to sleep. The birth went smoothly and the little prince is also well taken care of..."
