My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1897: The Ninth Prince Who Slandered

Shushu listened from the side without interrupting.

It was my father and my mother's decision to separate the kitchen.

Maybe they separated the kitchen after Fusong got married, just to prepare for Zhuliang and his wife to separate the kitchen.

In this way, even if the family does not split up, they do not have to mix food from one pot. Each courtyard can take care of its own courtyard, which can save a lot of trouble.

All I can say is that the general’s previous “masterstroke” made my father and mother alert.

They still like Qingru, but they also have some considerations.

If Qingru acted inappropriately, she should not be allowed to interfere in the internal affairs of the Dutong Mansion.

After all, there are a bunch of younger brothers-in-law waiting to get married and find jobs. If the eldest sister-in-law is selfish, it will be troublesome.

By then, even the brotherhood will be hurt.

After the mother and the others finished their meal, the dining table was removed.

Shushu thought about how the Ninth Prince had been acting clingy these days, and felt a little guilty looking at Jueluo.

Thinking about the light lunch, she plucked up her courage and said, "Ernie, I'm fine. There's nothing to worry about. You're just sitting here doing nothing, but the family can't do without you..."

Jueluo glared at her and said, "You're just being naughty. It's only been a few days since you gave birth, and you don't care about what you eat? Even if you don't breastfeed, you still have your own body to protect."

To stop milk production and expel lochia, you need to eat a light diet.

If the diet is too greasy and milk swelling occurs, and lochia cannot be discharged cleanly, you will suffer greatly.

There is also density.

A woman who has just given birth needs to stay in bed to recuperate, which makes her prone to gastrointestinal disorders. If she doesn't control her diet, she won't be able to digest food, which will cause her to feel uncomfortable due to constipation.

Shu Shu said coquettishly: "I am craving for meat, but the fat has been removed and it can be digested, so don't worry!"

Jueluo said, "And then? Let Jiu Ye bring the child over every day, and chat and laugh with you in your confinement room?"

Shushu pouted and didn't want to talk anymore.

She later allowed the Ninth Prince and the children to come over, firstly because she was worried about them, and secondly because she wanted someone to accompany them.

Although it is a bit out of line, isn't it understandable?

She can't be left alone in this state, worrying about all sorts of things. What if she suffers from postpartum depression?
Jueluo shook her head and said, "If you break this rule once, there will be another time. There will be no rules in the future. Besides, you can't wash your hair or take a bath during your confinement. How good will it be to be dishevelled?"

Shushu felt itchy all over after being taught a lesson.

I hadn't taken a shower for several days, and the room was hot, so I sweated a lot and needed to change clothes twice a day.

But she didn't just sit there and wait. She asked Baiguo to boil some hot water and wipe her body with it.

Shushu hung her head. This was the beginning of her confinement period, so she was fine and there was no strange smell.

Besides, even if there was a slight smell, every time the Ninth Prince came, he would sit at the door and talk. The couple were more than ten feet apart, so they wouldn't be able to smell it, right?
"Be a good confinement doctor. You had some back pain before, and your eyes teared up easily when the wind blew. All the confinement diseases and confinement care have been cured this time, and you will suffer less in the future..."

Jueluo slowed down his voice.

Mrs. Bo also advised: "You still have a long time to live with Master Jiu, so it's better not to do anything out of the ordinary."

It is a good thing for a couple to love each other, and the elders from their parents' side are also happy to see it.

But in addition to the elders from one’s natal family, there are also elders from one’s husband’s family who have a more prestigious status.

After all, the Ninth Prince is a prince, and a prince with a title. If he spends all day hanging around his wife and children, the elders in the palace might not be happy.

Shushu nodded and stopped arguing.

She has been living as she pleases these days.

Maybe it’s because I feel a little uneasy in my heart.

Afraid that some maids might be disobedient during his confinement period, the Ninth Prince's physical needs outweighed his psychological needs, so he went with the flow.

I was afraid that the children would not be able to see me and would not be so attached to me.

Oh, I really think too much...

The Ninth Prince had dinner at the Prince's Mansion. Seeing that the children were tired, he brought them back.

Fengsheng and Niguzhu are fine, they don't care about the seat and can rest outside.

Akdan, however, is very particular about his bedding and his little pillow, and he won’t tolerate any of them being missing.

As a result, he was unwilling to rest outside.

The Ninth Prince brought the children out of the Prince's Mansion.

As a result, when he arrived at the door, the Ninth Prince heard Cui Baisui mention that Jueluo was coming.

The Ninth Prince heard this and said with a frown, "How stupid! Since there was a guest, why didn't you go and tell me?"

Cui Baisui murmured, "Madam said he is not a foreign guest, so there is no need to disturb the master."

The Ninth Prince didn't bother to scold anyone. He quickened his pace and disappeared in a flash.

The three younger ones heard the conversation between the two and knew that it was Guo Luomama who came.

Niguzhu told Fengsheng and Akdan like a little adult, "Guolomama is thinking about my mother. When Guoolomama and Guoluomafa were together, they only talked about my mother and didn't mention us at all..."

Feng Sheng said: "We miss Enie, and Enie misses Enie too. If Guo Luo Ma Ma comes, Enie will be happy."

Akdan said: "But Enie still needs to rest well."

The three of them were walking with short legs and didn't want anyone to hold them.

At this moment, the Ninth Prince had disappeared, and the three children were left to be taken care of.

He Yuzhu held the eldest princess in his arms and watched the nannies hold the two little princes. Needless to say, his master had obviously forgotten about the younger masters.

Fortunately, I am here. It is really worrying...

The north room of the west wing.

After lunch, Shushu strolled for a quarter of an hour before being ordered to get on the kang by Jueluo.

She pulled the pillow and sat back.

Jueluo said: "Lie down properly. If you sit like this, your waist will ache. If you can lie down, lie down. If you don't want to lie down, go for a walk. Just sit less..."

"Sitting for a long time hurts the kidneys, staring for a long time hurts the liver, and thinking for a long time hurts the spleen... Your back aches before were because you didn't like to lie down during the confinement period, and you sat more..."

Jueluo gave birth to six children and was well-informed when it came to postpartum care.

Shu Shu couldn't help but wonder, "It's the five internal organs that are damaged by long-term sitting? I always thought that 'long-term sitting damages the flesh, long-term standing damages the bones, long-term walking damages the tendons, and long-term lying damages the qi', but I didn't expect there is another saying..."

She didn't like lying down because she was already lacking in energy and blood, so she would rather not lie down if possible.

"One is external, the other is internal. Both are excessive as well as insufficient. You are in confinement, which is just a month's time. Just be patient..." said Jueluo.

Shushu is a person who takes good care of her body. She thought what he said made sense and just lay down quietly.

Footsteps were heard outside and the Ninth Prince entered the west wing.

He glanced at the north room, feeling a little nervous.

Cui Baisui is such a fool. He would not look for me if my lady said I was not a stranger.

After all, he is a eunuch and does not marry. He does not know that for a son-in-law, the mother-in-law is indeed not a stranger but an honored guest.

Baiguo and Layue were working as servants in the hall. When they saw the Ninth Prince come in, they hurriedly greeted him.

Perhaps to inform the people in the north room, Bai Guo's voice was a little high.

In the room, Jueluo and Lady Bo looked at each other and realized that the Ninth Prince had returned.

Jueluo came out of the house.

The Ninth Prince hurriedly said, "Happy New Year, mother-in-law. I wish you a happy new year!"

The last time we saw each other was on New Year’s Eve, before the New Year, and this was the first time we saw each other after the New Year.

The day before yesterday, Jueluo came to the Prince's Mansion, but the Ninth Prince was still in the palace at that time, so the two did not meet.

Jueluo followed suit and knelt down, saying, "I also wish to wish Master Jiu a happy new year."

The Ninth Prince supported him and said, "You are too unorthodox."

Jueluo didn't force her, she just said, "I'm going to be an uninvited guest. The concubine is willful, which is ok at other times, but now is the critical time for her to recuperate, so I have to come and look at her like an annoying person, please don't blame me, Master Jiu!"

The Ninth Prince said, "I can't express my gratitude enough. The county lady is also in charge of Fu Jin, but she just can't bear to be strict with her..."

At this point, he remembered what he had told Doctor Jiang before, and changed the order, saying, "Because the little prince is big this time, and the wife is also a little deficient in blood and qi, Doctor Jiang said that we don't need to observe the confinement for two days, but we can observe it for 42 days."

The more days you spend resting your body, the better.

Besides, with Shushu's considerate personality, after she leaves the confinement period, she will have to go to the palace or the garden to pay her respects and express her gratitude to her elders. It is still cold in early February.

So the Ninth Prince changed his mind again.

Just then, the mother-in-law came and she made the decision to let Fu Jin complete the 42-day confinement period. Even though Fu Jin was not happy, she did not dare to get angry.

After hearing this, Jueluo looked worried and asked, "What else did the imperial physician say? In addition to the deficiency of Qi and blood, does Fu Jin have any other deficiencies?"

"nothing else……"

The Ninth Prince hurriedly said, "Don't worry. Imperial Physician Jiang is on duty at the Prince's Mansion. He will come to check the pulse of the wife and the young prince every day. If there are any other deficiencies, they will be found out early."

After hearing this, Jueluo heaved a sigh of relief, but he also became serious and decided to keep an eye on Shushu and replenish his qi and blood.

Because the wooden partition between the north room and the outer hall was nailed with felt, Shushu and Mrs. Bo could only faintly hear the conversations outside the room but could not make out the content.

Shushu complained to Madam Bo in a low voice: "He must be pretending to be good. I've noticed a long time ago that Jiu Ye pretends to be good in front of Ama, Enie and Amu. He looks so honest, like a different person."

Mrs. Bo smiled and said, "It's only because I love you that I would do this!"

Shushu pursed her lips and smiled, it was indeed true.

She still remembered that when the engagement ceremony was held in the thirty-seventh year, the Ninth Prince was still arrogant and did not try to hide his arrogance.

Even when meeting his mother-in-law, he is like a little peacock.

At that time, the Ninth Prince acted recklessly because he had no scruples and lacked respect for the Yue family.

After that, his temper became better and better, and now he is trying to curry favor with people.

She was feeling so happy that she didn't know that the Ninth Prince had spread rumors and her confinement period had been extended.

Mrs. Bo looked at Shushu and remembered how she and Xindali were also so affectionate when they first got married.

If it was possible to have children at that time, would life be good in the future?

Mrs. Bo smiled slightly when she thought of this.

Why think of such a useless thing?
If I don’t think of you in this life, I won’t see you in the next.

If she wanted to reminisce about the past, she could think about other things, such as her unmarried years or Shushu's childhood. There was no need to think about that person...

Happy Dragon Boat Festival everyone. I'm going out tomorrow, but I'm afraid I'll get carsick on the train and won't be able to code, so I'll post this evening chapter tomorrow. You can read it tomorrow at noon.
