Chapter 1,703: Both worlds (rolling and asking for monthly votes)
The carriage stopped at the gate of Qibeile Mansion. I felt relaxed and felt a little heavy in my heart.
Giving birth to two Geges in succession is the worst outcome for Qi Fujin.
Even if I take good care of my body and continue to prepare for pregnancy, I don’t know when my next baby will be.
Nalagge already has three sons and two daughters.
If we really have to wait until the brothers over there are grown up to have a younger legitimate son, the situation in the future will be really bad.
I'm just afraid that Brother Qi wants to have it both ways and won't let Qi Fujin have another child.
Shu Shu's identity and position were designated to support Qi Fujin, but when it came to giving birth, no one else could get involved.
It just so happened that she was pregnant at this very moment.
She has to be careful when talking about her happy events and Qi Fujin's unfortunate events.
At this time, the news of Shu Shu's arrival had reached the main courtyard.
Someone came out to welcome Qi Fujin.
Haitang, who was dressed as a woman, was the dowry maid of Qi Fujin. When she reached the age of 18, she was given to the steward of Baylor Mansion to keep her. Now she has become a maid and the one who keeps the family.
"Jiufu Jin'an..."
Because Shushu has a good relationship with Qifujin, she is also familiar with Baozhujia.
Seeing the people bending their knees to save their home, Shu Shu raised her hands and shouted.
"You, Fujin, are in good spirits. Has the lochia stopped?"
The man who saved the family said: "A while ago, my grandmothers and aunts came over to chat with me, and they were a little nervous. I haven't seen many outsiders these days, so my spirits have calmed down, and the lochia has reduced."
Shu Shu didn't need to think about it, she also knew what Qi Fujin's sister-in-law and sisters were saying when they came over. They were still young and would only talk about that in the future.
These words really have no effect other than making people upset.
The place where Qifu Jin had his confinement period was in the back room of the main courtyard.
When Shu Shu came in, Qi Fujin was wiping his face in the mirror with a wet handkerchief.
She loves beauty and cleanliness, but she is still in confinement, her face is a little swollen, her eyes are black and blue, and her hair is a little greasy.
Seeing Shu Shu come in, she smiled at Shu Shu and said, "I'm so suffocated, I finally expected you to come..."
Shu Shu was surprised to see that she didn't feel sorry for herself.
Qi Fujin is a kind-hearted person. She can think of everything he can think of, and yet he accepts it calmly?
Qi Fujin motioned for Shu Shu to sit nearby, and ordered the man who kept the home: "Place two bowls of stewed bird's nests..."
The one who saved his home responded and went down to deliver the message.
After a while, the bird's nest and tea tray came up.
Qi Fujin waved his hand and said to Haitang: "I'm talking to Jiu Fujin. You took Jiu Fujin's girl down to have tea."
The person who kept the home listened to the instructions and took the people down.
There were only two sisters-in-law left in the room. Qifu Jincai took Shu Shu's arm with a smile on his face.
She just smiled and shed tears.
Shu Shu hurriedly advised: "Crying like this during confinement will make you lose your eyes?"
As she spoke, she took a clean handkerchief and wiped Qi Fujin's tears.
"It's all life!"
Qi Fujin choked with sobs, showing vulnerability.
"The third elder brother and the fourth elder brother were born in the house one after another. I was very angry at that time, thinking that if this child was not an elder brother, there would be no way out..."
"I feel like I'm lost in my mind, and I'm having crazy thoughts..."
"As a result, people must not be immoral, so this idea came up. Sangege fell ill and almost didn't survive the leap six months..."
"I made a wish in front of the Bodhisattva. No matter whether this baby is an elder brother or not, I will be the same as before, to be a generous and virtuous direct descendant..."
"Perhaps the Bodhisattva is also afraid that I will change my original intention, and if I don't give me a chance to regret it, I will be born with a bad character..."
Shu Shu felt uncomfortable listening to it.
If you can't give birth to a legitimate son, the Baylor Mansion will belong to the concubine from now on. Even the two legitimate daughters of Qifu Jin will have to rely on the concubine's support to live their lives.
For a daughter of a noble family, this is indeed intolerable.
Qi Fujin spoke for a while and then let out a breath.
"When I was first pregnant with this baby, Master Qi saw that I was worrying about gains and losses, and he comforted me and said that if I couldn't give birth to a legitimate son, I could just have an elder brother to raise him later. But when Nalagge gave birth to the fourth elder brother, he didn't mention it.
It’s happened…”
Shu Shu had no way to judge the seventh prince's actions.
For men, their legitimate sons and concubines are all sons.
There were three sons born there. No matter how much he respected his legitimate wife, he would still be somewhat sincere. He didn't want other concubines to bear down on Nalagge's children, and he seemed to understand.
Qi Fujin just wanted to talk and didn't expect Shu Shu to respond.
"The third elder brother was only born two days earlier than the fourth elder brother and was less than a month old. Otherwise, Nala would have given birth to the third elder brother. She is really lucky..."
Qi Fujin said, looking in the direction of the west room.
The newly born little princess is following her wet nurse and nanny in the west room of the back room.
"I was upset in my heart, but when I saw the five-square grid and thought of the three-square grid, I could only feel calm..."
"I don't have the guts to do anything bad. I really want to show off my fault. I'm sorry for my parents and brothers, and I'm sorry for my two children. No matter how much trouble I make, the whole house is uneasy, and the seventh master won't be able to tolerate me..."
"Three-level grid means you have to stay in Beijing, but what about five-level grid?"
"If I treat myself well as my direct descendant Fujin, Master Qi will know how to plan for me and Wuge..."
Qi Fujin chattered.
Shu Shu felt extremely distressed.
This is how you understand yourself.
Knowing their status, there is no room for struggle.
Shu Shu could only say: "As long as you are good, let alone Qi Beile, you will be honored forever. Even if you show your filial piety, who will dare to neglect you?"
Qi Fujin nodded and said: "Yes, I am the legitimate wife of the prince designated by the emperor. As long as I don't make mistakes, there is nothing anyone can do..."
She didn't want to tell her parents these words, and they wouldn't believe her even if she did.
She knew that Shu Shu would believe it.
Shu Shu said: "When you are out of confinement, go to Old Fujin's place for more walks."
This is talking about Prince Chun Fujin of the palace next door.
It is said that he is old Fujin, but in fact Prince Fujin is only in his forties, and there will be a lot of time for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to get along with each other in the future.
Qi Fujin nodded and said: "On the day of the 'Washing', Old Fujin didn't come, but he sent someone to bring a new basin. Later, he came over in person, hugged Wugege, and picked up her dowry, which will be left to her in the future.
Three grids and five grids..."
Because of the loss of his husband and son, Prince Fujin did not come to visit him for the rest of his life.
However, all the words behind it are to comfort and hope that life in Qibele Mansion will be smooth.
Shu Shu sighed: "Master Qi will see your heart for being embarrassed for your elders, and you are sincerely filial. There is nothing wrong with that."
Qi Fujin relaxed and murmured: "They are all afraid that I will go crazy. As long as I take this step back, everyone's life will come to an end. What qualifications do I have to not retreat? Rather than being guarded and suppressed, it is better to learn about my own interests."
…”
Shu Shu held Qi Fujin's hand and could not say anything else.
This is to marry into the royal family. They are just the prince's subordinates and have no room to lose their temper.
There is no other way except to free yourself.
I can’t tell whether it’s better to live in a daze or to live soberly.
After listening to Qi Fujin's ramble for half an hour, seeing that she couldn't sit still and her body became weak, Shu Shu stood up and left.
"Okay, the days are still long, save your energy, we will talk about it next time..."
Qi Fujin felt more comfortable, remembering that Shu Shu was also pregnant, so he nodded and did not invite any guests.
"We'll talk about it next time. By the way, don't forget to send a message to our mansion for Xiao Fusong's happy event. When the time comes, I will go to see you after confinement. Then we will go to Dutong Mansion to have a wedding banquet."
Shu Shu said: "Don't worry, it's not your fault. You are also the sister who watched Fu Song grow up..."
It's still the one who keeps his home and comes out to see guests off.
After coming out of Qibele Mansion, Shu Shu breathed a sigh of relief.
For Qi Fujin, it is not a bad thing to take a step back and not get into trouble.
With the lessons learned from the Eight Fortune Jins, who dares to confront the prince?
Ordinary people can still reconcile and return home, but the royal family can only "recuperate" or "die".
I just hope that Brother Qi will always behave decently and be worthy of Qi Fujin's concession...
In the south study room, Brother Seven felt his nose itchy.
He sneezed twice hard.
The fifth elder brother was leaning in front of him, drowsily sleeping. He felt disgusted when he heard the movement, so he quickly took two steps back and changed his position to lie down.
The third elder brother raised his head, looked at the seventh elder brother, and joked.
"Is someone talking about you? It can't be Lao Ba. Is it worried that you will steal his job?"
Everyone is not a fool. Luan Yiwei is in the hands of the seventh elder brother, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs Guard Camp is also in the hands of the seventh elder brother.
Everyone knows that he is the prince trusted by his father.
The eighth prince didn't even care about his reputation, he took the initiative to ask for a job, and he also asked for the trust of the emperor.
The seventh elder brother wiped his nose with a handkerchief and glanced at the third elder brother.
"If the eighth elder brother is worried about someone cutting off his beard, he will only worry about the third elder brother..."
"Cough...cough..."
Third Brother cleared his throat.
In the first month of last year, the prince and he had a falling out in front of the emperor because of the carriage.
What the seventh elder brother said is not wrong. The third elder brother still favors the eldest elder brother in his heart.
At least that's how it looks on the surface.
As for what you think in your heart?
Naturally, we hope that "the snipe and the clam will fight, and the fisherman will gain."
The fifth elder brother suddenly remembered something and looked at the seventh elder brother.
"Maybe I am really talking about you. Among so many brothers, your son is the most..."
If we really talk about the number, there are quite a few in Chengjun Prince's Palace. The third elder brother had six sons, but three of them died in infancy, and now there are only three.
Sibeile Mansion also had four sons, one died in infancy and three were left.
In this way, it really seems that there are quite a lot of four sons in Qibele Mansion.
Regardless of whether the rumors outside are true or false, everyone sees that there is "no harvest" in the Babeile House.
If, like Prince Zhuang, he has no sons but gives birth to girls one after another, no one will say anything.
But there is not even a small grid, which makes people think a lot.
When it comes time to adopt an adopted son, you have to choose among your nephews.
After hearing this, the seventh elder brother couldn't help but frown and said: "When that day comes, it will be the eldest brother's house, and then the fourth brother's house. It will not be my house!"
Among the brothers, the eighth elder brother has the closest relationship with the eldest elder brother, and the closest relationship with the fourth elder brother.
The fifth elder brother nodded and said: "That's right. When the new sister-in-law gives birth to the elder brother, he will be the legitimate son. The fourth brother has a ready-made legitimate second son. When it comes time to adopt him, it is a matter of both worlds..."
