My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1879 Rebellion
"Wow wow..."

With the loud cry of the baby, the "third day bath" began.

In contrast to the crying of the child was the laughter of the women in the room.

"With that voice, he will surely be strong when he grows up..." said the Third Lady with a smile.

Mrs. Bo looked at the little boy kicking his legs in the arms of the midwife and a smile appeared on her face.

This is the third legitimate son of the Ninth Prince. Even if the Ninth Prince accumulates merits and is awarded more titles in the future, they will only fall on the head of the second legitimate son.

As the third son of the legitimate wife, the young prince's starting position is destined to be low, and he will have to fight for his own future.

Good health is the foundation for achieving success.

Seeing that everyone's attention was on the child, the eldest wife took a few steps back, hesitated for a moment, and went into the north room.

Shushu was ordered not to come out, but could faintly hear noises coming from the outer room.

Listening to the little prince's crying, she still felt a little anxious even though she knew that there was nothing wrong.

"Ninth brother's wife..."

The eldest wife came in and stood at the door, looking a little shy.

Shushu was surprised.

It looks like she wants to ask for help, but the eldest wife is the wife of a prince, and her family is also a well-known family. Why should she ask her sisters-in-law for help?

Shushu thought about her usual personality and said, "Sister-in-law, please sit down. Are you hungry? Eat some steamed buns to fill your stomach..."

The steamed bun banquet that had been prepared by the kitchen was set up with two tables in the outer room and one table in the house.

The first wife shook her head, took a few steps forward, suppressed her shyness, and whispered: "I want to ask my sister-in-law for a set of clothes for the young prince..."

Shu Shu: "..."

It seems that there are similar methods to have children.

Seeing that Shushu didn't respond, the eldest lady looked over with trepidation.

Shu Shu nodded quickly and said, "Okay, okay, you are too polite. It doesn't matter whether you ask for it or not, just tell me."

The eldest wife said gratefully: "Thank you, Ninth Brother's wife..."

Shushu called Baiguo and ordered, "Go to the south room and find a set of clothes for the young prince, then go outside and give them to the nanny who came with the eldest wife."

The wing rooms were small, so the maids and servants that everyone brought were placed elsewhere.

Seeing Shushu's thoughtfulness, the first wife became even more grateful.

No wonder everyone is nice to her. Who can not love someone who behaves like this?
At this time, the "third day bath" ceremony outside was also completed.

Everyone also noticed that the eldest wife was missing.

Others thought she went to change clothes and paid no attention to it. Only the Ninth Princess saw the First Lady enter the north room.

When the elders come, the younger generations should pay them respects, especially today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, so it is time to pay New Year's greetings.

After the little prince was carried back to the south room, the lady asked someone to bring Fengsheng and Akdan over.

Fengsheng and Akdan received Shushu's instructions and knew that the female relatives who came were their elders, so they greeted them politely.

These two brothers are both better looking than each other.

A aunt is precious, and a aunt from a royal family is even more precious.

The two young princes paid their respects to the Ninth Princess first.

The Ninth Princess looked at the two men, who were like little adults, behaving so strictly according to the rules, and felt puzzled.

After giving out the New Year's red envelope, Ninth Princess quietly asked Lady Bo, "You're already teaching me the rules at such a young age?"

Lady Bo said, "As soon as they understood the words, their parents started to teach them the rules, but they were afraid that if they taught them too late, it would be difficult for the children to change."

Jiugege thought about giving birth to a child and educating the child, and it would take more than ten years of worry.

It is estimated that parents will not let go until their children get married and start their own families.

If you are a worrier, like the lady Gong, you will not be willing to let go even after your son gets married and will worry about him all your life.

The eldest wife gave the prepared purse to him, pulled La Fengsheng's little hand, and touched Akdan's little head.

When Lady Bo met the Tenth Lady, she was worried that Akdan would be shy and avoid them, but he stood firmly.

The Third Lady asked with a smile, "You are so tall now, do you still remember your aunt?"

"Aunt, Third Aunt..."

Fengsheng neither nodded nor shook his head.

The Third Lady smiled heartily and said, "Yes, it's me, the Third Aunt, but also the Aunt..."

When they arrived at the Fourth Lady's place, Fengsheng and Akdan were both familiar with each other, so they greeted her directly without any introduction from the Lady of the Bo family.

"Happy New Year, Fourth Aunt..."

The fourth lady smiled and nodded, saying, "Happy New Year, brothers..."

Normally when she came here, she treated all her nephews and nieces equally, but today she looked at Akdan a little more.

If what the Fourth Prince said is true, and the Left and Right Wing clan schools are set up in the imperial city in the future, then the Second Prince, the Third Prince and Akdan will go to school together, and the cousins ​​will grow up together.

Akdan was shy when he was young, but he has changed a lot now that he has grown up.

With Shushu around, there’s no need to worry about tutoring.

It would be a good thing for his son to have such a cousin as his companion.

Although the Seventh Lady had the best relationship with Shushu, she had given birth in the past six months and had not gone out much after the confinement. She had come to the Prince's Mansion once or twice, but she came and left in a hurry.

The two younger ones were somewhat unfamiliar with their seventh aunt.

The Seventh Lady looked at the two and said, "After the vaccination, you are not restricted from going out. Go with your mother to visit your Seventh Aunt's house. There is a little sister and a little sister in your aunt's house..."

It happened half a year ago, I have almost forgotten it.

At the moment, the two had no idea about going out, and for a moment they didn't know whether they should agree or not, so they looked at the lady.

Mrs. Bo said, "It's just like you go to your tenth uncle's house. It's not someone else's house, it's your uncle's house. Your mother will take you there in the future."

The two brothers then nodded to the Seventh Lady.

Who can not love such a well-behaved girl?
The Tenth Lady couldn't help but envy him and said, "My nephew can listen to reason now. My three-year-old is still struggling to learn to speak..."

The Third Lady said, "Your eldest prince's birthday is too young. He is said to be three years old, but in reality he is only one birthday old. Why are you in such a hurry..."

They are all mistresses of the house and they still have things to do on New Year’s Day.

Except for the Ninth Princess, who remained silent, the other concubines said goodbye.

Lady Bo wanted to come out to see him off, but was stopped by the First and Third Wife.

The first wife said: "We are all family members, there is no need to do this."

The Third Lady also said, "As for these relatives, each has his own way of talking. There is no need to talk about the master, just talk about the clan relatives. As for you, we should talk about your niece and Shushu. You should just be at ease and be an elder!"

The Tenth Lady said, "Please stay. I will escort the other sisters-in-law on behalf of the Ninth Lady."

With just one sentence, everyone laughed.

The Third Lady snorted, "Are you showing off the relationship between your two families? How do you judge the closeness of relatives? I don't believe that my sister is a guest today."

The Seventh Lady laughed and said, "What do you mean by succession? You should hurry home, the women in your family are waiting to come to the mansion to pay New Year's greetings."

The First and Fourth Concubines listened with a smile and said nothing.

Everyone is happy to see the sisters-in-law get along like this.

If a troublemaker really shows up, it will be difficult for both sides.

The Tenth Lady smiled and said, "I live close to Ninth Sister-in-law, and I am happy to run errands for her. Even if you are my sister, you are still a guest even if you come less often!"

The sisters-in-law left the house, chatting and laughing, and each got into their car and went home...

*
The north room of the west wing.

Shushu was already lying on his side, and he pushed the pillow aside to let Jiugege sit on the kang.

Before the Ninth Princess was married off, the two aunts and their sister-in-law often kept each other company.

The Ninth Princess was not polite either. She took off her court beads, went outside to put on her winter court dress and winter court cap, and also lay on the kang.

She visibly relaxed and said, "I really can't bear to go home. I'm so shameless that I disturbed my sister-in-law."

"I'm feeling depressed, and I wish someone could talk to me..."

Shushu shook his head and said.

Anyone who has experienced confinement knows how boring it is.

I can't read to kill time, so I can only wait.

Jiu Gege looked at Shushu's face and asked carefully, "Jiu Sao, are you really not afraid this time? Giving birth to such a big child is unbearable..."

Shu Shu said, "Why not? Everyone wants to plan their affairs after death. Childbirth is a matter of life and death. This is no joke."

How many women have died or been injured due to the pain of childbirth.

Shushu felt that she didn't suffer too much this time because the delivery time was short. Otherwise, if she was really tortured to death, she would not be able to get close to the little prince.

Jiugege lowered her eyes and said, "I don't want to have children anymore..."

I wanted to have a baby before, but now I feel like I’m no longer that eager and I’m too lazy to do so.

Shu Shu: "..."

Shushu looked at Jiugege carefully. There was no sadness between her eyebrows, but she looked lazy.

Such thoughts were common in later generations, but now they seem heretical.

Shu Shu could only vaguely say: "If you don't want to have a baby, then don't have one. You are still young. It's not too late for the first baby as long as you are under 30..."

Jiugege shook her head and said, "I don't want to have a baby, not that I want to have one later."

Shushu didn't know how to respond.

If I support it at this time, and then Jiugege changes her mind later, it will be my fault; if I oppose it, there is no need to do so.

If Shushu were a princess herself, she wouldn't want to suffer the pain of childbirth.

The Ninth Princess continued, "The Madam picked the best-looking son from among her own children and placed him in the Prince Consort's residence. The Prince Consort sent him back, and the mother and son are now fighting. It's really boring..."

"I haven't given birth to a child, but I have seen sisters-in-law suffer from childbirth, and there is also the example of my eldest sister-in-law..."

"I hope that my husband's illegitimate son will be born soon, so that my wife won't have to nag me anymore..."

Shushu didn't interrupt and let Jiugege talk.

If I remember correctly, Jiugege also shyly mentioned the matter of burning incense in Hongluo Temple.

The idea of ​​wanting to have a child was real at that time, and the idea of ​​not wanting to have a child is also real now.

Shushu looked at Jiugege and said, "You are a princess. As long as you are happy, few people can make you unhappy. Think about the Empress Dowager. She only hopes that you are safe and healthy. Nothing else matters..."

Jiu Gege's eyebrows curved, and she said, "Yes, how can I live my life? Others' opinions don't count. Only I have the final say..."

As the aunt and sister-in-law were talking, Baiguo came in with a lunch box.

There were two bowls of shrimp wontons and a few side dishes.

Shushu said, "I don't consider you a guest anymore, and I haven't prepared a meal for you. Just eat with me."

The small wontons are slightly pink, and filled with emerald green cabbage, black seaweed, and yellow egg skin, which makes people's appetite very much.

Jiu Gege came to the table on the kang, smiled and said, "It reminds me of the time when I went to Jiusao for meals every day when I was in Hechi Sisuo..."

The aunt and sister-in-law wiped their hands and ate the wontons.

Jiugege's spirits immediately improved a lot...
