My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1900 Fang Zi
Xiao Tang glanced at the Ninth Prince and said, "This morning, the Concubine had a cough. Doctor Jiang examined her pulse and said that she had some phlegm and dampness. He prescribed a prescription for clearing the lungs and reducing phlegm, which contains snake gall and bezoar..."

Snake gall, bezoar...

The Ninth Prince knew why Shushu vomited.

For people who are most afraid of bitterness, these two medicines are bitter, it would be strange if they don't vomit them.

"How can this old man prescribe a prescription like this? He doesn't know how to adapt at all..."

The Ninth Prince couldn't help but stamp his feet and wanted to call Imperial Doctor Jiang to have a good talk with him.

The two were talking outside and their voices could be heard inside the house.

Shushu looked up, feeling eager.

Seeing this, Jueluo lowered her eyes and said nothing.

The Ninth Prince urged Xiaotang, "Hurry up and give it to Fu Jin, so she won't feel uncomfortable with an empty stomach.

Xiaotang agreed and went into the west wing.

The Ninth Prince followed behind and entered the central hall.

Xiaotang lifted the curtain, handed the food box to Baiguo, and pointed outside.

Baiguo took the food box and looked at Shushu.

Shushu looked at Jueluo, with more pleading in her eyes.

Husband and wife are used to seeing each other every day, so don’t separate them directly like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.

Jueluo glared at her, then stood up and left.

"mother in law……"

The Ninth Prince stood at the door of the north room with an embarrassed look on his face.

Jueluo nodded and said, "I'll go see the little prince..."

As she spoke, she went to the south room.

The Ninth Prince was a little excited. He lifted the curtain and flashed into the north room.

Shushu was also looking towards the door, and seeing the Ninth Prince acting like a thief, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

When the Ninth Prince saw the headband on Shushu's head and the dark circles under her eyes, he felt guilty.

What were you thinking just now?

It was the time when Fu Jin was recuperating, and he was still thinking of letting her fill in the gaps.

As for the errands after the New Year, it doesn't matter if they are done a month earlier or later, but it would be bad if it disturbs Lady Fujin's rest.

"Is it because of eating meat that you are coughing?"

Brother Jiu asked.

He somewhat regretted indulging Shushu in eating and drinking.

Shu Shu said embarrassedly: "It's not just because of the food, but also because the room is hot, and the heat causes phlegm."

If she hadn't been unable to sleep due to coughing last night, she would have forgotten that she still had this old illness.

"Lao Jiang is good at treating women's and children's diseases. Why don't we go to the Imperial Hospital to see if there is an imperial physician who specializes in internal medicine?"

The Ninth Prince said, "Even if you want to eliminate phlegm, you don't have to prescribe bitter medicine. Lily bulbs and tangerine peel can also moisten the lungs and relieve coughs..."

Shu Shu shook his head and said, "Master, no need. This prescription is just right for my condition. I haven't coughed much this morning."

The Ninth Prince looked at the unopened lunch box and said, "Do you want to eat anything else? The restaurant outside is closed on the sixth day of the first lunar month. If you want to eat something, I'll ask someone to buy it for you..."

Shushu took bitter medicine in the morning and had no appetite at all.

She said, "I'd rather just drink the vegetarian porridge. I don't want to eat anything else."

The Ninth Prince turned his head and glanced towards the south room, and whispered, "Why don't you put meat in it and ask the kitchen to make shrimp ball porridge for you?"

Shushu shook her head and said, "Fish generates fire, meat generates phlegm, I'd better just eat the confinement food obediently!"

The Ninth Prince said, "Then wait until you are out of confinement, then we will go out for a delicious meal."

Shushu nodded. After that excitement passed, she wasn't as greedy anymore.

She remembered the advice given by her two elders, and said, "You went out early in the morning and you are tired. Come back to your room and wash up."

The Ninth Prince nodded, turned around and wanted to leave.

When he reached the door, he remembered what Fifth Brother had said, and told Shu Shu, "Fifth Brother wanted to bring Fifth Sister-in-law to visit you, but I turned it down..."

Shushu is now in confinement after giving birth. She was also stared at by Jueluo and stopped rubbing her body. She was impatient to see people and said, "Thank you, sir. I don't plan to see any guests before I leave confinement..."

The Ninth Prince went out, but did not leave immediately. He stood at the door of the South Room and said hello to Jueluo before leaving...

By the beginning of the 9th month, Concubine Yi had already settled down in Huichun Villa.

The Eighteenth Prince asked, "My Lady, where is the Seventeenth Prince?"

Concubine Yi said, "The emperor's stay here is short this time, so your Seventeenth Brother did not come with him. He has to go to the upper study to study later."

"What about Brother Five and Brother Nine? Are they coming to play with me?"

The Eighteenth Prince continued to ask.

Concubine Yi touched her son's bald forehead and said, "Your two brothers are grown up now. Even if you come, you can't take them to play. When you go to the prince's residence in the future, there will be your brothers and nephews there, so you will have someone to keep you company."

The Eighteenth Prince said, "Then I miss Khan Ama? When will Khan Ama come?"

The Eighteenth Prince was the youngest son of Concubine Yi. He had handsome features and was smart. Kangxi loved him very much.

The Eighteenth Prince also had a bit more admiration for Kangxi.

Concubine Yi said: "I don't know either..."

At this moment, a light cough was heard at the door.

It turned out that the wind direction reversed today, and the chimney in Qingxi Book House was backflowing, so the smell of smoke in the house had not yet dissipated.

Kangxi was feeling depressed and since he had nothing to do, he strolled to Huichun Villa.

"Khan Ama..."

The Eighteenth Prince was quite excited when he saw Kangxi. He went over and pulled his hand, saying, "Son was just thinking about you..."

Concubine Yi had already stood up and knelt in greeting.

Kangxi extended his hand to support them and said, "I am free, so I came to see you two."

As a result, when he reached the door, he heard the Eighteenth Prince say that he missed him.

There was a little more tenderness in Kangxi's heart.

As expected, my son was not a bad kid when he was young, but he became a bad guy when he grew up.

"The Eighteenth Prince will enter the Imperial Study next year, so it's time for Haha Zhuzi to find out..."

Kangxi said.

After hearing this, Concubine Yi frowned slightly and said, "Others are fine, but is it that there are no suitable eunuchs to choose from? I see that the eunuch Hahazhuzi brought by the Seventeenth Prince is already a grown man..."

As he gets older, it’s inevitable that he has selfish thoughts, unlike the little eunuchs who grew up with him when he was a child.

Kangxi thought for a moment and said, "The last time the palace recruited eunuchs was in the thirty-sixth year. It has indeed been a long time since we recruited any eunuchs. We will recruit some young eunuchs from outside later."

After Concubine Yi said this, she never mentioned it again.

Kangxi looked at the Eighteenth Prince and said, "In addition to the young eunuch, you will also have relatives, nobles, and bannermen serving you. What kind of Haha beads do you want?"

The Eighteenth Prince shook his head and said, "I don't know. I have never seen people from outside."

Kangxi looked at Concubine Yi and asked, "Are there any suitable children among the relatives of Guo Luoluo's family?"

Concubine Yi hurriedly shook her head and said, "We have finally managed to stay away from those people, so let's not get together with them. Daobao now has a deputy commander, the Fifth Prince is looking after him, and I also have a nephew who is serving as a guard at the Ninth Prince's mansion, so there is no need to treat him with respect..."

Speaking of this, she thought of her mother-in-law who gave birth in the same year as her.

The Ninth Prince moved out of the mansion, and his Yue family and brothers-in-law helped him with all matters, big and small.

Shushu, the prince's wife, was still loved by her parents after her marriage.

She did not support or repay her parents' family. As a mother-in-law, I cannot be unaware of the care that the Governor's Office provides to the young couple.

Concubine Yi said, "My dear son, I have thought of someone. Please help me with the matter."

Kangxi asked curiously, "Who did you think of? Tell me."

Concubine Yi said, "It's not someone else, it's the younger brother of Lao Jiu's wife, who is eighteen years younger than us and two months..."

"I think that the Ninth Prince is a bit unreliable, and his wife is also young. The young couple has caused a lot of trouble to the Dong E family in the past few years..."

"I am a little embarrassed, but I trust their family tradition and character, which is better than those of an arrogant person whose background is unknown..."

Kangxi listened carefully and thought of the Ninth Prince who was "living off freeloaders".

Not only did he directly seize the dowry shop of his wife, but he also took things from Yue family.

But regarding the Haha beads beside his son, he was still more cautious and said, "Qi Xi is almost the same age as me, and he is also an old son. It is inevitable to dote on him. I will find a chance to meet him first. If he is indeed a good child, I will put him beside the Eighteenth Prince to serve him."

At this point, he thought of the black boy beside the Fifteenth Prince, and said, "If he is like the Sixth Prince, he can be selected."

Concubine Yi said, "I don't know how to judge people, so I'd like to trouble Your Majesty to follow and screen them."

Kangxi nodded.

That's his son, so he would naturally make proper arrangements for him.

But when he came to see Concubine Yi, besides to see his beloved concubine and son, he also wanted to talk to her.

After speaking a few words to the Eighteenth Prince, Kangxi looked at Concubine Yi.

When Concubine Yi saw this, she felt her eyelids twitching and had a bad feeling.

Kangxi took a sip of tea and said, "You have nothing to do anyway, so pick a few eunuchs and maids from the garden to fill the vacancies in Zhongcui Palace..."

As early as when Zhongcui Palace was just "sealed off", the eunuchs, palace maids and female servants working there had left the palace due to illness or injury.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs did ask Concubine Rong whether she needed to get supplements, but she didn't.

On the first day of the new year, Kangxi went there and saw the palace was deserted and lonely. He called the steward to ask about it and found out that half of the eunuchs and female servants in the Zhongcui Palace were missing.

If this was said in the palace, Concubine Yi would definitely refuse it.

After all, there is a Crown Princess who holds all the power in the palace, and there is also a Concubine Hui who once managed the six eastern palaces.

Let's keep the water from the well and the river from the river.

But when they arrived in Haidian, the main seat this time, besides her, was Hepin.

If Hepin were to be responsible for selecting the staff for Rongpin, it would become a joke.

Concubine Yi said, "Then I will follow your Majesty's orders. However, I tend to judge people by their appearance. Your Majesty, please ask the garden manager to find out if they are suitable for the job..."

Kangxi looked at her and said, "You've had this habit for so many years, why don't you change it?"

Concubine Yi chuckled and said, "Is it a problem that I like beautiful women? When I am with beautiful people, I feel that I am beautiful too."

Kangxi looked at her, sized her up, and said, "No one else is as pretty as you. Why do I feel like you look younger than before you were eighteen?"

The key is that her face is moist and there are no wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

You have to know that Concubine Yi loved to laugh, so she also had fine lines at the corners of her eyes.

Now it looks much fainter, and you can't see it unless you sit close.

Concubine Yi reached out and touched her face, and said happily, "With your words, my hard work has not been in vain. Recently, cucumbers have been served in the regular dishes of each palace. I remembered the skin care recipe given by the Ninth Lady, and tried it. The effect is really good..."
