My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1864 Zhuangzi Dreaming of a Butterfly
It is late.

The Fourth Prince and his wife sat for a while, and when they knew that both mother and son were fine, they prepared to leave.

Shushu felt sleepy again after eating here.

The Tenth Lady also said goodbye and came out to meet the Tenth Prince.

The female members of the family do not need to enter the palace tomorrow, but since it is New Year’s Day, there are many things to do in the mansion.

The Ninth Prince personally escorted the guests out and reminded them, "There will be no banquets for the 'third day of the lunar year' and 'full moon' celebrations, but the gifts cannot be omitted!"

The Fourth Prince exhaled and said, "Yours is indispensable!"

The Ninth Prince explained, "It's not that I'm greedy. It's the rule of our mansion that starting from the 'third day bath' ceremony, each child must have a small storehouse, and every ceremony must be recorded. When the child grows up, he will see that his brothers and sisters have so many small storehouses, but his is only half of them. How upset he will be!"

The Fourth Prince glared at the Ninth Prince, suspecting that he had ulterior motives in giving this reminder.

When the triplets were born, each family gave the gift according to the rules for the eldest son and daughter. But because there were three children in one pregnancy, it was difficult to distinguish the gifts, so they just gave three similar gifts.

This time the little prince is the third legitimate son, so naturally the example cannot be compared to the last time.

The Ninth Prince chuckled twice and looked at the Tenth Prince.

The Tenth Prince smiled and said, "Don't worry, Ninth Brother, the 'third day bath' ceremony and the 'full moon ceremony' ceremony are all ready."

The Ninth Prince nodded and said, "That's good. Isn't it because the Third Prince is impatient? We landed early, and I'm afraid that everyone is not fully prepared. When we meet people tomorrow, you can also help remind others..."

The Fourth Prince was too lazy to pay attention to him and asked the Fourth Lady to leave.

The Tenth Prince saw that the Ninth Prince was tired despite his excitement, and said, "Ninth Brother, you should also rest early. You still have to endure two days tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

The Ninth Prince nodded and said, "I'll get ready to go to bed when I get home. Today has been really exhausting..."

After saying this, he also urged the Tenth Prince and the Tenth Lady to go back quickly.

The Tenth Prince brought the Tenth Wife back to the Prince's Mansion...

The Ninth Prince looked tired, but he was full of energy.

He went directly to the west wing and saw Dongyue in the middle hall, Baiguo was not there. He looked towards the north room and heard some movement inside. He whispered, "Is Fujin still awake?"

Dong Yue said, "Just now the little prince woke up and cried. When Fu Jin heard it, she woke up too and was feeding him."

After hearing this, the Ninth Prince looked around and saw that both rooms were only hung with cotton curtains, while the other partitions were made of wood and were not soundproof.

He said to Dongyue, "Tell Zhou Song to go to the warehouse in front to get the felt and nail the felt on both rooms in two layers."

Dongyue agreed and went out to find Zhou Song.

Shushu is feeding the baby.

The child took his first sip of milk and sucked hard with his little mouth.

Since Shushu is not a first-time mother, she does not need to start breastfeeding again and does not have to suffer a second time.

The child is held by Xiaochun.

Shushu loves her child, but she also loves herself, so the wet nurse is prepared according to the four requirements.

She didn't plan to feed him for long, after all, her own body also needed to be recuperated.

If the breast milk does not stop, it will be difficult to take medicine.

Shushu looked down at the fat boy in her arms. His little hands were round without any care, and his face was plump.

He had been eating for quite a while and his movements slowed down, indicating that he had almost finished.

Shushu motioned to Xiaochun to take her away.

Xiaochun patted the little brother's back to burp him before carrying him out.

Shushu covered her clothes and said to Baiguo, "Please go back and rest. We have another day to go tomorrow."

Baiguo went out to pass on the message.

After hearing this, the Ninth Prince stood at the door, lifted the curtain, looked at Shushu, and said, "I'll take a look at you and then go back and settle down..."

Shushu said, "I'm fine, and I'm going to sleep."

The couple were more than ten feet apart, and the Ninth Prince wanted to go into the house to talk.

Shu Shu waved her hands and said, "Sir, please don't come in. There are some taboos. You should be careful."

There was no way last time, and others couldn't find any reason to complain.

It was indeed a dangerous situation at that time. She and her children were all weak, and the couple almost lost their lives.

Everything is fine this time, so let's not go to the confinement room, so as to avoid it being reported to the palace and being recorded again.

The Ninth Prince also knew that the news in the mansion could be concealed from others, but not from the emperor, so he gave up the idea of ​​going in and said, "Then you should also go to bed early. You don't have to worry about me. I will leave He Yuzhu to guard the night."

From what the Ninth Prince meant, he was still staying in the main courtyard and had no intention of going to the study in the front courtyard. Shu Shu remembered something and said, "Then remember to go to the back room to see the children and tell them that I am fine."

Aunt Qi just came, but it was when Shushu was taking a nap after giving birth.

Shushu was a little worried about Fengsheng and Akdan.

On weekdays, the two brothers would either go to Ning'antang to look for Niguzhu, or be brought directly to their parents' room to see them, and they would come out to get some fresh air.

I didn't take care of the two children today.

The Ninth Prince nodded and said, "Well, I'll go and take a look. I really didn't have time to take care of them today."

It was fine when he didn't mention it, but now that he did, the Ninth Prince really missed his two sons.

After leaving the west wing, He Yuzhu picked up the lantern, and the master and servant went to the back building.

There was still light coming through the east and west rooms in the back building, so it was not time to go to bed yet.

When the Ninth Prince went in, Akdan was in Fengsheng's room, and the two younger brothers were soaking their feet.

"Amma..."

Seeing the Ninth Prince coming, Fengsheng wanted to stand up.

The Ninth Prince said, "No need to get up, Father will just take a look at you and leave."

Akdan looked behind the Ninth Prince and said, "Where's Enie..."

The Ninth Prince pulled a chair and sat opposite his two sons. He said, "Your father has given birth to a little brother and is tired, so he took a rest. He is worried about you, so he asked father to come and see you."

Feng Sheng nodded and said, "I know. Mammy went to see Enie and said that Enie was tired."

Akdan said: "My brother is fat..."

Feng Sheng had a troubled look on his face, and said, "Mammy said that she is fatter than my sister... I can't hold her..."

Is that too fat?
Such a big brother...

Akdan said seriously: "Don't let Enie hold my brother, let Ama hold him..."

After hearing this, the Ninth Prince realized that the two younger brothers had misunderstood.

Nanny Qi was definitely talking about the little prince being fatter than Niguzhu when he was a child, but the two brothers misunderstood and thought he was comparing him with the current Niguzhu.

The Ninth Prince didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "My brother is fat, but he doesn't weigh dozens of pounds. He is fatter than Niguzhu when he was a child."

Worried that the two children had no reference, he pointed to Fengsheng's pillow and said, "It's this big."

Feng Sheng looked at his pillow, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Then I will hold my brother and play with him in the future."

The Ninth Prince looked at his eldest son's well-behaved appearance and felt a little distressed. He said, "Just play with your brother. Father will hold you..."

Fengsheng nodded, and Akdan glanced at the arm of the Ninth Prince.

The Ninth Prince stretched out his arms and said, "Father is very strong. When you were young, Father always held two children. Now that you are older, Father holds fewer children."

Akdan immediately said, "Then... Father, can you carry me to see Enie?"

It was obvious that they were restricted during the day to prevent them from causing trouble in the front.

But Akdan, the little guy who was attached to his mother, still couldn't forget to visit her.

The Ninth Prince thought for a moment and said, "Then you just be good. After breakfast tomorrow, Father will take you to see your mother."

After hearing this, Akdan was a little disappointed that he couldn't go right away, but his originally tense face also showed a smile.

There was also more joy on Fengsheng's face.

Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, and I want to stay up with the children.

The Ninth Prince said to Madam Qi, "Pack the bedding for the two princes tomorrow. When I come back from the palace, I will take them to the main room to celebrate the New Year."

Aunt Qi agreed.

It was getting late, so after seeing his son, the Ninth Prince returned to his main room.

Baiguo and Dongyue were there. When they saw the Ninth Prince coming back, one of them served water while the other went to make the bed.

When the bed was made and the water for washing face and feet was brought up, the Ninth Prince waved his hand to the two of them and said, "Go and keep watch for Fu Jin!"

Baiguo agreed and took Dongyue away.

He Yuzhu stepped forward, took a towel and soap, and helped the Ninth Prince wash his face.

After washing his face and feet, the Ninth Prince lay down on the kang.

He Yuzhu picked up his bedding and spread it on the ground.

Seeing this, the Ninth Prince glared at him and said, "Why are you pretending to be loyal? Roll over on the couch. When did I ever let you sleep on the floor?"

He Yuzhu stood still, pointed at the place under his feet, and said: "Master, this is the chimney, let me warm my waist, I have to stand for another day tomorrow..."

The house has a floor heating system and it is warm above the chimney.

The couch is under the window, and it's not even warm there.

The Ninth Prince leaned forward to take a look, stretched out his feet and stepped on it. It was indeed warm, so he said, "There is a felt in the cabinet outside. Spread that first, don't spread the mattress directly on the ground."

He Yuzhu agreed, went out to get a felt mat, and spread it directly on the chimney. Then he placed the kettle on the fumigation cage to keep it warm, in case the Ninth Prince called for water in the middle of the night.

The lights went out.

The Ninth Prince said, "Tomorrow, wear a leather vest under your cotton clothes, and change into new boots with two extra insoles."

The princes had to accompany the emperor to the banquet in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the attendants had to wait outside.

A banquet that lasts for an hour or two is really painful.

Under normal circumstances, the Ninth Prince would have asked He Yuzhu to stay in his residence and not enter the palace. However, in addition to attending the banquet tomorrow, he also had to report the good news to the Empress Dowager and Yikun Palace.

As for the Ningshou Palace, the Ninth Prince can go directly there; the Yikun Palace is in the inner court, and according to the rules, the Ninth Prince can only go there to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year, so He Yuzhu will have to go there to announce the good news tomorrow.

He Yuzhu said, "Don't worry, sir. My cotton-padded clothes this year have leather lining, so they are warm."

The Ninth Prince said, "Be smart when the time comes. If someone else takes over the duty room, you should be thick-skinned enough to follow them."

He Yuzhu agreed.

The master and servant exchanged a few words, and the room fell silent.

The Ninth Prince was indeed exhausted. He could no longer open his eyes and fell into a daze...

In the dim shadows, the Ninth Prince seemed to see himself in the study in the front yard, with account books more than a foot high in his hands.

However, the "Ninth Prince" did not look at the account, but looked towards the door anxiously.

At this time, "He Yuzhu" came running in and said, "Master, Princess Wanyan gave birth to the eldest princess, both mother and daughter are safe..."

The Ninth Prince saw himself trying his luck behind the table.

The "Tenth Prince" was also beside him and said, "Congratulations, Ninth Brother, you have a daughter..."

The picture changed again.

It was still the study, still himself and Lao Shi, except that they were not wearing the same clothes as before. It was also dark, and the room was brightly lit.

It was "He Yuzhu" who came in and said, "Master, Princess Zhaojia gave birth to the second princess, and both mother and daughter are safe..."

The Ninth Prince saw himself mumbling to the Tenth Prince, "I was laughing at the eldest prince earlier. Would he also have four princesses in a row?"

The Tenth Prince said, "No, no, Boss, that's just bad luck..."

The picture changed again.

It was "He Yuzhu" who came in and said, "Master, Princess Wanyan gave birth to the third princess, both mother and daughter are safe..."

The Ninth Prince was so upset when he saw his other self standing by that his hair stood on end.

Where is your wife?
If you want to have a child, why would you choose a princess instead of a concubine? !
Fortunately, in the fourth chapter, there was finally news about Fu Jin.

"Master, the concubine gave birth to the fourth princess, and both mother and daughter are safe..."

The Ninth Prince was dumbfounded when he saw his other self.

Next to the "Tenth Prince", there was also a look of helplessness on his face.

The Ninth Prince came to his senses and slapped his mouth twice, saying, "You're not a good person, but why are you making fun of the boss for no reason? You're slapped in the face, right?"

The "Tenth Prince" consoled him, "Don't worry, Ninth Brother. Your wives and concubines have been happy for several times, but there is still no news from Eighth Brother! Some offspring come early, and some come late."

The Ninth Prince said angrily, "You already have three sons, so you don't have to worry about this. Even the Fourteenth Prince has two sons, but there is no sign of my son yet..."
