Chapter 1664: Picking up leaks (asking for a guaranteed monthly ticket)
Jiu Gege looked at her husband and said nothing more.
This time she learned a lesson, it was her greed and her husband's greed too.
They were just testing each other out, not getting to the last step.
No wonder it is said that between husband and wife, either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind prevails over the east wind.
She nodded slightly and lowered her eyelids, but her heart felt empty.
Sure enough, there are many couples who treat each other as guests in this world, but there are few couples who love each other.
There is only one couple like Ninth Brother and Ninth Sister.
She doesn't force it anymore...
*
Jehol Palace.
More and more Mongolian princes came to court.
Brother Jiu had already rested and started entertaining the Mongolian prince.
Here, Shu Shu followed Dafujin and Thirteenth Fujin to welcome the Dowager Princess of Bahrain, Princess Rongxian and the Princess of Bahrain.
The Dowager Princess of Bahrain is none other than the 10th Prince's biological aunt, Niu Hulu.
In the early years of Kangxi's reign, Princess Bahrain followed the daughters of several other distinguished nobles from the Three Banners and entered the palace to wait for the new year. She was one of the candidates for the queen.
Later, the Yuan Dynasty Empress chose several Hesheli clans with the lowest background among the noble families. Several noble girls did not enter the palace at the same time, but left the palace to choose their wives.
Princess Bahrain is the eldest daughter of Ye Bilong and the granddaughter of Prince Yingyi. She has a noble status. Even though she lost her position as Queen of the Yuan Dynasty, she did not enter the palace as a concubine. She was pleased by the Queen Mother and pointed it out to her grandson Bahrain.
The crown prince of the county.
This time, the Dowager Queen came to Rehe to escape the summer heat. The Dowager Princess of Bahrain also personally brought her son, and her daughter-in-law came to pay her respects.
As a candidate for the Empress of the Yuan Dynasty, Princess Bahrain was two years older than Kangxi. She was already at the age of knowing her destiny, but she looked like someone in her forties.
When the Queen Mother saw her, she held her hand tightly and said with red eyes: "The last time I came to Beijing was thirty years ago. I haven't seen her in more than ten years."
Princess Bahrain also choked with sobs and said: "I should have gone to Beijing to pay my respects to the empress..."
The Queen Mother said: "It's not too late now. It'll be good when you see it. It'll be good when you see it."
When these young girls entered the palace to wait for their twilight years, the Queen Mother was actually not much older than them.
Now that most of my life has passed, how can I not feel sad?
The Queen Mother muttered: "There were a few little princesses at that time, but now you are the only one left..."
Princess Princess of the Mingzhu family died within a few years of her marriage, leaving no sons and a half daughters.
The final victor, the Yuan Dynasty Queen Hershey, also collapsed for several decades.
Princess Bahrain said: "It is because of the blessing of the Queen Mother that I am blessed."
Otherwise, with her arrogance, she would be rejected from the post, marry to the capital, become a married woman, and bend over to the daughter of the concubine of the Hesheli clan, she would probably have died of vomiting long ago.
After hearing this, the Queen Mother patted the hand of the Princess of Bahrain.
Is it a blessing?
She became a widow in her thirties, but fortunately she raised three sons. The eldest son married the county king, the second son asked to marry Princess Rongxian, the de facto eldest daughter of the emperor, and the third son also got the favor to stay in Beijing and married Niu Hulu
The grand palace of the government.
The closeness between the Bahrain tribe and the imperial court was second only to the Horqin tribe.
If you think about it, it will be a blessing.
The Queen Mother looked at the Princess of Bahrain again.
The Princess of Bahrain is also the eldest daughter. She is the granddaughter of Prince Rao Yu and the daughter of the late Beizi Zhangtai. She is granted the title of County Lord.
Compared with Princess Bahrain and Princess Rongxian, although the county head is a princess, she lacks a bit of confidence.
She has no sons, not even a concubine.
She is only a few years older than Princess Rongxian, and she looks like she is a generation behind her.
On her mother's side, it is her brother who is now the Duke, but it is just the Duke's Palace, which is another level further away.
Not every eldest daughter of Fu Meng has a happy life.
A daughter-in-law like the Princess of Bahrain may be the norm.
In the Bahrain tribe, there was a clan daughter who married into Prince Zhuang's palace more than ten years ago, but she has already passed away.
It is difficult for women to marry far away.
The Queen Mother showed compassion and said to the Princess of Bahrain: "Your brother will also accompany you this time, so that the siblings can have a good time together."
The Princess of Bahrain said with an emotional expression: "It is all thanks to the grace of the Emperor that he has allowed me to come to court, so that my flesh and blood can be reunited."
As for Princess Rongxian, her own flesh and blood have returned to Beijing twice in the past few years, but they don't have much to say.
As a junior, Shu Shu just made up the numbers.
However, she took her pulse again, diagnosed Hua Mai, and reported the good news to the Queen Mother.
Even if I came to accompany guests, I got a seat early.
She was wearing flat flag shoes. When the female relatives saw her, they understood what she meant.
The Dowager Princess of Bahrain and the Princess of Bahrain met her for the first time and were not familiar with her either.
Princess Rongxian saw this in her eyes, and after leaving at the Queen Mother's place, she came over to visit Shu Shu.
This was the eldest aunt. Shu Shu was respectful and greeted her personally.
Princess Rongxian held her hand and said with a smile: "Ninth brother is so lucky. I wish you the best of luck to my ninth brother and sister."
Shu Shu smiled shyly and said, "Thank you, second sister, I didn't expect to get pregnant at this time."
Fortunately, this time she was staying at the Rehe Palace to escape the summer heat. Otherwise, as in previous years, the holy driver would have been traveling in Mongolia, and she would have stayed halfway to nurse her baby.
Princess Rongxian has long heard about Brother Nine's physical condition.
However, she was also impressed by Dong E's family's reputation as "Yi Zi".
Whether it is Sanfujin or Shushu, among the princes Fujin, they are both the most fertile.
She thought of her son, who is four years old this year.
When the time comes, she also plans to "get closer and closer to each other".
Those who are of the right age include the two princesses from Chengjun Prince's Palace, the three princesses from Qibele Palace, and the big princess from Nine Belle Palace.
But the eldest daughter is different after all. It is impossible for her to ask for grace and stay in Beijing.
Princess Rongxian wanted to get married, not to enmity, so she couldn't help but look at Shu Shu's belly.
If Shu Shu's baby is a daughter, she would be of the right age.
She had seen Brother San's fake cleverness and San Fujin's real confusion, so she felt a little uneasy about her niece over there.
Thinking like this, she became closer to Shu Shu and said: "I have no one to give you when I go out. I just brought some honey. Don't think it's too simple..."
Shu Shu hurriedly said: "Bahrain honey is famous. I have heard about it for a long time..."
Princess Rongxian smiled and said: "Life has slowed down in the past few years. There was a white disaster in the past few years, and many flowers and plants on the grassland were frozen to death. Otherwise, I should have brought this with me when I returned to Beijing the first two times."
Shu Shu said: "The days will get better day by day."
During the last white disaster in Bahrain, both the imperial court and the royal family contributed.
That is the dignity of the eldest princess, and also the dignity of Princess Rongxian.
Both of them are smart people and can understand each other when talking.
Here, Shu Shu will mainly talk about the affairs of Prince Cheng’s younger brother and Princess, and also mention a few words about Santai Ji.
As for the honor concubines, it’s hard to say.
Princess Rongxian, on the other hand, did not have any reservations. She said: "Three elder brother and his friends will live their lives as they go. They are all in their thirties and cannot remain confused. However, our empress has been doing this for many years."
Under the care of Ninth Brother..."
Shu Shu hurriedly said: "Our master is just a servant, especially the elders, how can they dare to be independent?"
So even if there is grace, it is the grace of the emperor.
Princess Rongxian heard the meaning of her words and said: "Grace is grace, and care is care. Ninth Brother is an honest person, and he always values affection. If it were anyone else, not only would he downplay someone who is inferior, but would also praise someone who is superior."
It’s too late.”
Shu Shu smiled and listened.
It can only be said that Kangxi was a little more affectionate than ordinary emperors.
Nostalgic.
Therefore, for these concubines who have many children, even if the favor is no longer favored, all aspects will be considered.
If it weren't for the imperial acquiescence, the supply of honorary concubines would not always be concubines.
Even before the emperor, every time Kangxi gave a reward, the reward from Zhongcui Palace was still the same as that of Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi.
This is a default.
The boss of the Ministry of Internal Affairs saw this and knew how to deal with the master who sealed the palace.
Princess Rongxian didn't sit still for long. She had a reception party tonight and had to go back to prepare.
Shu Shu sent it out personally.
Working hard on both front and back legs, Jiu Age is back.
When he heard that Princess Rongxian was coming, he said thoughtfully: "This person's situation is really hard to explain..."
Shu Shu heard this and said, "Does King Balin think bad of you?"
Among all the people from the Bahrain tribe who came to court this time, the Lord of Bahrain, the King of Bahrain, was naturally indispensable.
The Bahrain Tribe is different from other Mongolian tribes. Although it is divided into left and right banners, there is only one Bahrain County King, and the remaining one is the successor to the title of Viscount Bei.
The first generation King of Bahrain was the father-in-law of the Dowager Princess of Bahrain and the husband of the late eldest princess.
The second generation King of Bahrain is the husband of the Dowager Princess of Bahrain.
The person currently in office is the third generation King of Bahrain, the eldest son of the Dowager Princess of Bahrain and the eldest brother of Princess Rongxian.
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "I've become so thin that I've been doing this for a long time. I'm here to seek medical treatment, but I don't look like I'm going to live a long life..."
Speaking of this, he looked a little guilty.
Shu Shu was puzzled when he saw it.
What else does the Bahrain department have to do with our own family?
Brother Jiu couldn't help but say it himself, and said: "I asked the princess's palace chief Shi, and it seems that the prince's body was still healthy a few years ago and was not ruined like this. Starting from the thirty-eighth year, every year
They all asked Wang Gong Taiji, who was on duty in Beijing, to buy 'Yanziwan', and then added a dozen concubines and maids just to beg for a child, but in the end there was no movement at all, and everyone was exhausted..."
Shu Shu was dumbfounded, never expecting that the cause and effect was here.
No wonder both the Dowager Princess of Bahrain and the Princess of Bahrain are indifferent to Prince Fujin, and have no intention of getting close to him.
I'm afraid I'm angry...
Brother Jiu said with a bit of helplessness: "I welcomed the King of Bahrain this morning, but the steward of the prince's palace found me, and asked me about this medicine. Seeing what it meant, the prince still didn't give up, and he didn't worry about others coming from the capital.
I brought the medicine with me, so I asked someone to tell me in private..."
As he said that, he took out a gift list from his sleeve, handed it to Shu Shu, and said: "Look, it's too thick. I'll put it away and it's hot. I'll have to report it to Khan Ama later..."
Shu Shu took it and looked at it. On it were eight pieces of antique calligraphy and painting, and eight pieces of goldware. They were nominally a birthday gift for Brother Ninth's 20th birthday.
You must know that Brother Jiu's birthday is at the end of August, which is nearly two months away.
The gift list was unexpectedly prepared.
Shu Shu looked at Brother Ninth and said, "What on earth does the prince think?"
Brother Jiu said: "Who knows, just look at it. Unless he gives birth to a legitimate son, he will not be able to keep his title even if he struggles to become a bastard..."
The Dowager Princess of Bahrain is still here, and she is qualified to ask the court for an heir.
Can a grandson born from a concubine be compared with a legitimate second son?
Not to mention that the second son is the princess's consort, and the emperor has always valued Princess Rongxian's daughter. Anyone who is not a fool will know that the title of Bahrain has been determined, and the consort will be missed...
