After a while, the time to say goodbye has passed.

Everyone retreated.

Concubine De and Concubine Rong never forgot their southern tour, but they couldn't bear to pester them.

Besides, just saying it doesn’t mean it will be useful.

The remaining concubines and nobles, even if they are warm-hearted, are not qualified to speak.

Everyone was looking at Concubine Tong before.

Concubine Tong was reserved and did not speak from the beginning to the end.

Concubine Yi did not leave, Concubine Hui also stayed.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Both of them were generous and straightforward. When the four concubines were in charge of palace affairs in the early years, one was in charge of the East Sixth Palace and the other was in charge of the West Sixth Palace. They were both easy to talk to and discuss, and they never blushed.

The two accompanied the Queen Mother to the second room. Concubine Hui disapproved and said: "Okay, what are you recruiting them for?"

Yi Fei hummed and said: "My sister has also seen it. Which one was the one who did it first? One by one, they are not living a good life. When they bully me, they really think I have a good temper!"

Concubine Hui shook her head slightly, but she just said this sentence and was not long-winded.

She looked at the Queen Mother and said, "Mother, tell me, who should we take out this time?"

The Queen Mother smiled and waved her hands: "Don't ask me, I don't worry about it..."

Concubine Hui looked at Concubine Yi.

Concubine Yi curled her lips and said: "You have to irritate the emperor's darlings, otherwise it will be even more troublesome to turn back..."

This refers to the concubine Wang, the commoner daughter Kangxi brought back during his second tour to the south.

Because of her, there was a lot of excitement in the palace at that time.

She was the first among the common women to enter the palace.

She is not an official lady, but a maid from Jiangnan Palace.

With such an appearance, who would believe that she is a maid?

Just using the name of a maid to take advantage of the opportunity to show her beauty.

At that time, the emperor did not have any concubines with him, and only a few maids were around to serve him. So he was confused, made an exception, and took the emperor back to the capital.

The Wang family became a concubine as a concubine.

However, there was no queen in the palace at that time, Concubine Niu Hulu had no business, and the four concubines below her had no room to speak.

Now more than ten years have passed, and the royal concubine has given birth to two elder brothers, and both of them have stood up. They are only treated as noble concubines, because they are of too low a family background.

The entry of the royal concubine into the palace set a bad precedent, that is, the entry of civilian women into the palace.

Fortunately, the emperor was Qingming and didn't attach much importance to beauty. The few who came in one after another made their promises in Qianqing Palace.

Concubine Hui actually listened.

Beauty comes from the south of the Yangtze River.

In the ten short years since the king's concubine entered the palace, it cannot be said that she is the only one favored, but this holy family member can also be ranked among the top three.

What's rare is that she has a gentle personality and is not the kind to run wild when she succeeds. In recent years, no one has talked about her origins.

It wasn't until this year's draft, when Guarjia came out of nowhere, that Concubine Wang took a step back.

Concubine Hui then said: "Then bring the noble Guarjia and the concubine... the others, and then we will see what the emperor wants..."

One of these two people is a new love, and the other is an old love.

My old love still comes from Jiangnan. If I don't want to fall out of favor, I have to worry about stopping the emperor from taking someone with me.

Concubine Yi glanced at Concubine Hui, then at the Queen Mother, and said: "I don't care about others, I just want to trouble my mother and sister to bring the ninth wife..."

The Queen Mother was happy to have Shu Shu by her side, and said with a smile: "I won't suffer any trouble this time! Let Shu Shu go and see what delicious and fun things there are in Jiangnan. We will also change the recipes in the palace later!"

However, Concubine Hui hesitated and said: "Lao Jiu is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and I have to prepare for Brother Ten's wedding in the spring. I'm afraid I won't be able to leave."

If other princes were getting married, the ninth prince would just let him go if he let him go, but the tenth prince was different after all.

Concubine Hui watched the two of them grow up, so she knew the affection between the two brothers.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother hurriedly said: "Forget it, it's not good for the young couple to separate..."

Concubine Yi waved her hand and sent the palace attendants down, saying in a low voice: "Laojiu's daughter-in-law is sensible. I have nothing to worry about. I am just worried that Laojiu will be an idiot... After Dafujin has a small funeral in a few days, we will leave."

It will take two and a half months to stop taking the medicine. I am afraid that Lao Jiu will not take the medicine and cause trouble for Fu Jin... I just stopped taking the medicine a few days ago. If I get an upper body upper body, this is not the right time. I will become a bad mother-in-law..."

The Queen Mother said: "Then come out with us and come back around the Dragon Boat Festival..."

Since it was arranged by Concubine Yi, the mother-in-law, and the Queen Mother, the ancestral mother-in-law, was also happy, Concubine Hui would naturally not be a bad person. She said with a smile: "Then the empress will take her with her, just in time to be a companion for Lao Wu Fujin..."

The Queen Mother was indeed even happier after hearing this.

Concubine Yi also understood that the prince had five elder brothers accompanying him.

It’s not surprising when you think about it, there is a Queen Mother...

No. 2, East Second Room.

Shu Shu and Wu Fujin both wore cotton cloaks outside and wore shirts underneath.

When Wu Fujin coughed twice, Shu Shu asked Xiao Chun to bring two small cups of persimmon frost.

Each cup is a spoonful.

It looks as white as snow and tastes as sweet as honey. Take it directly into your mouth.

Persimmon frost is cool in nature, and after half a spoonful of it, the originally itchy throat immediately became much moisturized.

Wu Fujin swallowed it all and praised: "No wonder it's a tribute, it's really a good thing."

Shu Shu also thinks this is good.

This is the annual tribute from the governor of Shandong.

Brother Jiu has already sent people to find the subordinate officials of Shang Nian Gong, the governor of Shandong, just to inquire about this.

There is also another orange-red color, which has the same effect as persimmon frost. It is an annual tribute from the governors of Guangdong and Guangdong and the governor of Guangdong.

The two sisters talked about their daily life.

Liu Gege of Wubeile Mansion gave birth to the fifth elder brother’s eldest daughter in September, and it will be a hundred days in a few days.

"We won't hold a banquet. We'll do it well next year during the Chou Festival..."

Wufujin said.

Shu Shu had already asked people to prepare a centenary ceremony.

The two sisters counted the days and determined that the funeral would be held on May 7th, which would be the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, the day before the Lunar New Year.

When Manchus have a funeral, they choose a date, and the funeral day is either advanced to the 21st or postponed to the 23rd.

Twenty-three is a small year, so it should be advanced to twenty-one.

"Two Seven" and "Four Seven" are not done. "March Seven" is also a big sacrifice, but there is no need to sit up all night. You can go there at noon and come back after paying tribute in the afternoon.

On the contrary, the night before the funeral, they had to go and sit there all night.

Wu Fujin lamented: "I was still feeling uncomfortable before, but it has only been less than half a month, and it seems like a long time."

Shu Shu nodded, who could say otherwise.

Relatives may be sad, but others may also sing.

Wufujin is now the mistress of the house, and has a lot of housekeeping duties. She chatted a few words and didn't stay long.

After eating persimmon frost, she drank a bowl of noodle tea and left the palace.

In addition to needlework for the Queen Mother and Concubine Yi, she also brought something for Shu Shu, which were two cookbooks from the previous dynasty.

Shu Shu filled her with the jar of persimmon frost brought by her fourteenth brother, plus the jujube cake and red bean rice cake that Shu Shu had prepared before, as a return gift. Xiao Gege's centenary gift was also brought back.

.

It was about noon, and Shu Shu sent someone to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to deliver a food box to Brother Ninth.

As for going to the study, I asked her to stop.

He didn't stop rashly, but asked someone in advance to say hello to Brother Thirteen.

The dining room in the head office is already ready, so there is no need to do anything more.

Brother Thirteen came over in person, said nothing else, and just thanked him sincerely.

Shu Shu felt very uncomfortable at the time, but there was no room for the thirteenth brother to stay in the first place.

That is a sacred mandate, not a child's play.

There is also the matter of the fourteenth elder brother. What does it mean if they are brothers and sisters-in-law?
