Chapter 863: Dog barking in the middle of the night (two-in-one thanks to all book friends)(1/3)

After coming out of Ningshou Palace, Kangxi did not go back to Qianqing Palace, but went directly to Yikun Palace.

Although there was a lot of buzz outside the palace about Ninth Prince's "qi disease", and another piece of news was added in the afternoon that "Ninth Prince may be bad", the inner court was quiet.

Yifei has never heard of it.

She was preparing to use it later.

It's rice dumplings.

Cabbage leaves, coriander, green onions, and radishes were all brought in by the Ninth Prince's Mansion.

In addition, I asked the kitchen to prepare rice, egg sauce, a plate of fried diced chicken with sauce, and a plate of braised radish. I didn't prepare any soup, so I just used rice soup.

When the saint arrived, he looked at this down-to-earth late arrival.

Kangxi looked at it and moved his index finger.

I was bothered by the Ninth Prince all morning, so I didn't eat well at lunch. In the afternoon, I drank tea for a long time at the Ninth Prince's Mansion and scratched my stomach. I seemed really hungry.

When Concubine Yi saw this, she smiled and said: "I remembered the rice dumplings I used to make when I was a child. It happened that the ninth daughter-in-law asked someone to bring Dongzi dishes, so she asked them to prepare them. The emperor also tasted them to see if they taste the same as before."

With that said, she took a clean towel to wipe Kangxi's hands, and signaled to Peilan to refill the bowl.

Kangxi was not in a hurry to say anything. After all, it was a mixed blessing. Concubine Yifei had a good relationship with her two daughters-in-law, so she would not be unable to eat anymore.

He quickly took the bowl and signaled that he should eat first.

Yifei also wiped her hands and made a rice bag herself.

There are cabbage leaves at the bottom, a layer of rice on top, then a layer of diced chicken fried in sauce, and sprinkled with coriander, green onions, and radish tassels on top.

The wrapped rice dumplings were not big, just the size of a small bowl. Kangxi ate one and felt it was a bit lacking.

Seeing that Concubine Yi wanted to take action again, Kangxi waved his hand and said: "I will do it myself..."

This time he did not put diced chicken, but replaced it with egg sauce, and also removed the radish tassels, leaving only coriander and spring onions.

This time, he felt that the taste was authentic.

He pointed to the diced chicken, braised radish and radish tassels, and said, "The rice dumplings in the palace don't have these things. Is this the way to eat it in Shengjing?"

Concubine Yi nodded and shook her head, and said: "Shengjing rice dumplings don't put diced chicken, but make radish sauce and put them in it. I put the radish tassels myself. They look tender and raw, so it's just right to eat..."

Kangxi paid great attention to health preservation, so he always ate less during this late meal.

A rice bag as big as a child's fist is enough for two children.

Yifei ate two of them, which was a bit insufficient, but she restrained herself and signaled for the table to be removed and barley tea served instead.

Drinking it this night will not affect your sleep.

Kangxi took a sip of tea and thought of Jiu Fujin.

This was made when Jiu Fujin was in the Second Institute. Not only the Yikun Palace uses this tea at night, but also the Qianqing Palace also serves this tea at night.

It clears the mouth, relieves tiredness, and is just right to drink.

He put down his teacup and said, "I'm here to tell you the good news. Lao Jiufujin gave birth to two boys and one girl this afternoon. Mother and son are safe..."

Concubine Yi, who had been sitting across from him before, was dumbfounded when she heard this.

She thought about this sentence twice before she understood it, and stood up immediately: "This...concubine, did you hear it correctly? Your Majesty, did you mean two men, or one woman?"

Kangxi couldn't help but laugh and said: "You heard me right, all of them, two elder brothers, one Gege, and Lao Jiu has three more legitimate children."

Among the princes who got married, the ninth prince is now considered to be successful. The number of legitimate children is second only to the eldest prince and on par with the third prince.

Concubine Yi was surprised, her eyes were red, and she stroked her chest and said, "I never expected that Lao Jiu would be so lucky. It's all thanks to the emperor's grace, which pointed him to a good fortune..."

Didn’t I mention two at the beginning?

Why did it change to three?

Concubine Yi had given birth herself, so she knew that the fetus was conceived in the womb.

In a place of about the same size, it would be scary to have twins, but how much smaller would it be to have three?

She simply didn't dare think about it.

She endured her shock and just smiled and said: "Jiu Fu Jin has made great achievements, so he has to take good care of himself this time, which is not easy."

Kangxi nodded and said: "Lao Jiu Fujin is good. Although he is less than a month old, little Gege is five pounds and one tael, the elder brother is four pounds, and the second brother is slightly smaller, also three pounds and two taels."

He can read the pulse and perform more than thirty rounds of amma, so he knows the weight of the baby's birth.

Three pounds and two ounces is indeed light, but the other two weights are enough.

Especially little Gege, who is older than the average child.

When Concubine Yi heard the weight, she felt relieved and said happily: "Let's not talk about the two brothers, this little princess is heavier than her eighteenth uncle..."

The Fifth Prince's Mansion, the main room.

The fifth elder brother is also telling Wu Fujin the good news about the Ninth Prince's Mansion.

Wu Fujin has never given birth, and she has not been to the Ninth Prince's Mansion to raise her baby at home in the past two months, so her reaction is different from Si Fujin's.

It can only be said that ignorance leads to fearlessness.

She actually thought it was a good thing, so she didn't talk about having a son and a daughter, but she also had an extra son.

She is already a little pregnant, but it's not obvious yet.

She said: "My siblings are so lucky..."

The fifth elder brother nodded and said: "It is also Lao Jiu's blessing. Khan Ama also gave three imperial grandchildren, and the imperial granddaughter gave her a nickname..."

Wufu Jin was startled when he heard this.

With her delicate heart, she could tell that something was wrong.

Not to mention that Prince Fujin gave birth, even if the empress in the palace gave birth, I didn't hear that the emperor went to watch over her.

She couldn't help but clutched the handkerchief tightly and said, "Did something happen to my ninth brother and my sister and I got fetal gas?"

The only person who can move the emperor is the prince himself.

Especially the body of Ninth Brother, who suffered from two illnesses the year before last.

The fifth elder brother didn't want to mention this to Wu Fujin. After all, it was not a glorious thing, but after thinking about it, he couldn't hide it, so he told what happened today.

From morning to night, a lot of things happened.

Therefore, when he heard that the Ninth Prince's Mansion was going to use an imperial doctor, the Emperor was worried and went over to take charge.

Wu Fujin was stunned, not knowing whether to say that Prince Zhuang was arrogant or that Brother Jiu was squeamish.

She felt a little sorry for Shu Shu, and couldn't help complaining to the fifth elder brother: "My ninth brother is already eighteen, so I can't teach him properly. I always let my younger brothers and sisters worry about him. When will he be the boss in the future?"

Even if you are angry with Prince Zhuang, you cannot make trouble at this time.

Listening to this, it gives people chills down the back, it's so dangerous.

The fifth elder brother struggled and said: "It's useless to fight novels until now. Khan Ama has taught him a few times now. If he could pull it over, he would have done it long ago! It's better to forget it. Now he has Lao Shi by his side.

, I won’t suffer a big loss; in a few years, my nephew will grow up, and he will be raised by his younger siblings. If he is good enough, he will be able to support the family..."

Wu Fujin looked at Brother Wu: "..."

She thought her husband was joking, but the man said seriously: "This is also Lao Jiu's blessing. He is a bit of a fool, but it saves worry and he has good people around him..."

Wufujin: "..."

Worry free?

The only one who has peace of mind is Brother Jiu, but there are a lot of things to worry about.

It's just that she is a sister-in-law, so it's hard to say too much, otherwise it seems like she is talking about her brother-in-law being bad...

Ninth Prince's Mansion, at the gate.

Two small bows and six small arrows hang on the left side, with the arrows pointing outward, and a red ribbon hangs on the right side.

The small bow and red ribbon have been prepared long ago.

Two small bows and two pieces of red silk.

Banner families attach great importance to newborn gifts, and this custom of hanging objects is also one of them. In addition to wishing good luck, it also means to ward off evil spirits.

Therefore, even if the Ninth Prince's Mansion has not sent out posts everywhere to announce the good news, everyone around him is aware of the good news.

No wonder it was someone from the Zhenghong Banner Realm. It turned out to be Jiufu Jinsheng.

Who would dare to think?

I actually gave birth to three children directly!

This news was mentioned at many people’s dinner tables that day.

The most touching thing is the neighboring Eighth Prince.
