My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1863 Learn from Me
Shushu was half-sitting, with a headband on her head and a milk stew in her hands.

It was what she had ordered before, with sugar added.

You can’t eat hard food during the confinement period.

In addition to the milk stewed eggs and sugar triangles mentioned by Shushu, Xiaotang also prepared brown sugar rice cakes, red date cakes, chestnut flour steamed buns and several kinds of steamed buns.

It's all noisy and soft.

To relieve the greasiness of the steamed buns, there are stir-fried shredded mustard greens and a sesame salt dish.

This is because in addition to not being able to eat hard food, you also cannot eat cold food.

Shushu felt like he could eat a whole cow. After finishing the stewed eggs, he ate half of each of the other four plates of steamed buns.

The Tenth Lady was watching from the side and asked in surprise, "Sister-in-law didn't like sweet food before. Has her taste changed?"

Shushu put down the bowl and wiped his mouth. He was satisfied and his mind was much clearer. He said, "This is just one meal. I won't eat like this again in the future."

I guess I had low blood sugar after giving birth, and my mind was full of these things.

After satisfying her craving, all kinds of spicy delicacies came to her mind.

After her pregnancy, she was afraid of getting diarrhea from eating spicy food, so she ate a light diet for a while.

But thinking about the dietary restrictions during the confinement period and having to eat light food for another month, Shushu's eyes became empty and she felt like she had no desire to live.

The Tenth Lady hesitated for a moment and said, "The little prince looks strong and healthy. Does the Ninth Lady need to feed him for a few more days?"

Shushu glanced down.

If I didn't say it, it would be nothing. But after I said it, I found that there was another uncomfortable spot on my body.

She said, "Feed him for a few days, just like his three brothers and sisters."

To be honest, this time after giving birth she was just relieving herself, and after a nap she recovered most of her energy; the last time she was seriously injured and had lost too much energy.

The last time she was short, she breastfed the children for several days, and she didn't want to be lazy this time.

The Tenth Lady couldn't help but look at Shushu's belly and said, "No wonder she got pregnant this time. Sister-in-law Nine didn't gain much weight. I didn't expect the little prince to grow so big."

Shushu thought of the little prince and smiled, saying, "It was painful when I gave birth, but seeing him after the birth made me feel relieved."

The scene of taking care of three frail babies in confinement two and a half years ago in fear and anxiety is too painful to recall.

Now that this chubby baby is strong and healthy, there is no need to worry about anything happening during the confinement period.

At this moment, the Fourth Prince and his wife had already followed the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince to the main courtyard.

The three brothers went upstairs.

The Fourth Lady came directly to the west wing.

Baiguo brought Layue to serve in the west wing.

Seeing the Fourth Lady coming, Baiguo and Layue hurriedly welcomed her in.

The Fourth Lady had a cold on her body, so she just stood in the hall. She didn't rush to see the woman in labor, nor did she go to see the child.

In the north room, Shushu and the Tenth Lady heard noises coming from the outer room.

The Tenth Lady stood up and came out, saying, "The Fourth Sister-in-law is here..."

The Fourth Lady nodded and said, "I didn't know the news before, and I only found out when I saw the bow hanging here."

The Tenth Lady said, "I just got here too. Our master came to deliver food and I happened to catch him. He just accompanied Uncle Nine by himself and didn't even call me..."

When she gave birth last year, her sister-in-law was with her.

She just thought she could take care of things, but in the end she didn't do her best.

When the coldness on her body had almost dissipated, the Fourth Lady went outside to put on her cloak, then lifted the curtain and went into the north room.

"Fourth sister-in-law..."

Shu Shu looked at the Fourth Lady with a smile, but couldn't get off the kang, so she bowed as a greeting.

Seeing that she was in good spirits, the Fourth Lady was relieved and said, "Just now Uncle Nine was showing off, saying that the little prince weighed seven and a half pounds. I was worried when I heard that, but I see that you look fine."

Shushu said: "I really used all my strength to suck milk at that time. I felt hungry after giving birth..."

As she spoke, she pointed to the steamed buns on the table, each of which was half empty, and said, "I ate all of them..."

The fourth lady sat down beside the kang and said, "It's still a loss. I need to take good care of myself during the confinement period."

Shushu nodded and said, "Well, my mother will come over on the second day of the Chinese New Year. She said she would take care of me then."

As she said this, she calculated the time in her mind.

colostrum……

Feed for ten days...

Once you stop breastfeeding, most of the dietary restrictions will be reduced.

But thinking that her father would not spoil her, Shushu's face lost its expectation.

The confinement period is like a second ordeal.

The Fourth Lady had gone through two periods of confinement and knew that the diet should be light. In the beginning, she had to drink medicine to expel milk and lochia, and in the end, she also had to replenish her blood and qi.

Therefore, she understood Shushu's frustration.

"Just bear with it, it will be fine after the confinement period..."

Shu Shu nodded and said, "Yes, yes, it will only take thirty days. Just bear with it and it will pass..."

The Tenth Lady sat on the stool and said, "The young prince was born today, and the 'third day of the year' is the first day of the new year. Will everyone come here directly after paying New Year's greetings in the palace?"

Shu Shu shook her head and said, "We won't have banquets for the 'third day of the baby' and the 'full moon'. We'll see whether to have a banquet for the 'hundredth birthday' or the 'first birthday'."

It's New Year's Day and everyone is busy, so don't cause trouble for others.

Besides, the weather is still cold and the child is young, so don’t stress him out…

The main room of the house was filled with the laughter of the Ninth Prince.

"Haha, our Third Prince is not only good-looking, but also a filial child. I have been worried for the past two days, fearing that my wife would go into labor on the 30th or the first day of the lunar month. What would happen if I was not at home at that time? As a result, she went into labor this morning and was born smoothly in the afternoon, without causing her father any suffering..."

Although the father and son have only met once, the Ninth Prince, after listening to his mother-in-law's words, is full of kindness towards his youngest son.

He empathized with Khan Ama and understood the struggles and hesitations he faced with his sons.

The father's feelings towards his filial children are different from those towards his unfilial children.

After he knew the importance of the young prince, he was terrified.

The second time he became an Ama, he had never seen anything, but he had heard a lot.

How many women’s lives are in danger because their fetuses are too big.

In mild cases, it can cause physical harm, and in severe cases, it can result in two deaths or even death from hemorrhage.

Because of this reason, the Ninth Prince had a vague resentment towards this child.

Is this a son or an enemy?
I almost lost my wife...

However, after listening to his mother-in-law's words, he changed his mind and thought differently.

Fortunately, this child is filial. Not only did he start the job early, but he also did not procrastinate after starting it.

The smug look of the Ninth Prince was very annoying to the Fourth Prince.

A truly filial child would not grow up to be so fat!

Why are there so few children weighing 7.5 kilograms?

Then isn't there?

no.

Few of them land alive.

Also, this couple is not reliable. They have both given birth to children, but they don’t know the dangers of having a baby that is too big for the mother.

But it was a happy day after all, and it would be unlucky to mention these things, so the Fourth Prince swallowed the words that were on his lips.

"What did the doctor say?"

The Fourth Prince asked the Tenth Prince.

"Sister-in-law Jiu is a little exhausted after giving birth. She needs to replenish her energy and blood in a while. The little brother is fine..."

The Tenth Prince said.

The Fourth Prince thought of his cousin who went to the customs, and this year's New Year gift included first-grade donkey-hide gelatin.

But that is a gift for Fu Jin. I’ll ask Fu Jin later if she wants her to spare two boxes and send them here.

The Tenth Prince also wanted something to replenish his blood.

The pharmacy in the Prince's Mansion is well-equipped with a lot of good medicines, including Polygonum multiflorum and Millettia reticulata, both of which are for replenishing blood. I'll send some over tomorrow and let the imperial physician prepare the medicine for me.

After hearing what the Tenth Prince said, the Ninth Prince stopped showing off and revealed his worry.

I thought that I wasn't pregnant with twins this time, and that I would be able to make it to full term and have a smooth delivery.

It went smoothly, but I didn't dare think about the dangers involved.

Thinking about it carefully, the Ninth Prince was filled with fear.

"Ah, I will be better to my wife in the future. It is not easy to be a nun. Giving birth to a child is a life-saving act. It is really like losing flesh and blood, which will seriously damage your vitality..."

The Ninth Prince sighed.

Seeing that the Fourth Prince and the Tenth Prince did not respond, the Ninth Prince glanced at them and snorted.

"Am I wrong? Can you put yourself in their shoes? Imagine if you were the one who was pregnant and gave birth to the child, would you suffer? Would you feel wronged if the people around you were unsympathetic?"

The Fourth Prince rolled his eyes and ignored him.

It is indeed difficult for women to establish themselves, but is it easy for men?

Besides, is it possible that the Ninth Prince is the only one who cares about Lady Fu?
Whoever is the wife is the one who values ​​her. Just know it in your heart. There is no need to show off.

The Tenth Prince glanced at the Ninth Prince.

This is how the love between husband and wife is accumulated.

Sister-in-law Ninth takes good care of Brother Ninth, and Brother Ninth also knows and sympathizes with Sister-in-law Ninth and cherishes her.

I am also considerate of Fu Jin, but sometimes I get tired and hope that she will sympathize with me...

The Ninth Prince thought that the two were stubborn and said, "In my eyes, the Manchu aunt is precious, and the aunt's mother is precious too. I am not like you who are fooled by those books on etiquette and think that men are superior to women..."

Seeing that he was getting more and more ridiculous, the Fourth Prince said, "It has nothing to do with ethics. Now that you are married, it is not easy for your wife to give birth to children. You should be more considerate to your wife."

These words concerning etiquette are fine to mention at home, but if you accidentally bring them up outside, you will attract criticism.

The key point is that the promotion of rites and ethics was started by Emperor Taizu and developed in this dynasty.

This is to better appease the Han people.

It means Khan Ama.

As sons, they cannot sabotage each other.

The Tenth Prince also said: "I was not fooled. I just admire Ninth Prince's attentiveness. Most people would not think of this..."
