The eighth elder brother no longer mentioned the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but said with a worried look on his face: "Uncle Wang got a baby girl during the Lantern Festival. He was overjoyed, but he suffered from severe seizures and a dry head at the back. There has been no improvement so far."
Prince Yu gave birth to a baby girl during the Lantern Festival.
This is an old woman.
There was some trouble with the heirs in Prince Yu's house. The elder brother and Gege who were at the top of the list had a total of five sons and four daughters. Only the third elder brother and the fifth elder brother were left alive, and all the others perished.
As a result, starting from the 39th year, there were babies crying in Prince Yu's palace.
In the 39th year, five grids were added. In the forty year, there were six princes and six grids. This year, seven grids were added.
These three little princesses all have the same mother.
The concubines gave birth to children one after another, and Prince Yu was very happy.
Even though it was Xiao Gege, he was not disappointed and made arrangements to serve the wine.
As a result, the person fell down before the banquet was set.
In total, it has been two months.
Fourth Brother was very surprised and said: "It's not healed yet?"
Prince Yu has been in poor health in recent years and has been ill every year. He was also ill for a while last winter.
I didn't expect it to take so long this time.
The eighth prince nodded and said: "I was speechless at first. I got acupuncture later and it got better, but I still can't move my body much."
The third elder brother was standing by, glanced at the eighth elder brother, and said: "The eighth elder brother knows everything. He is going to Prince Yu's mansion a lot!"
The eighth elder brother said: "I'm not busier than my brothers on errands, so I just go there two more times."
Not to mention the close friendship between him and Prince Yu's uncle, there is also the friendship between him and Prince Botai.
Among the princes, he and Prince Yu traveled the most.
Brother Si's heart was heavy.
Since ancient times, "spring diseases are difficult to cure".
If you suffer from winter disease, you can regain your vitality as the weather gets warmer and the seasons change.
If it's spring sickness, it's hard to tell.
Prince Yu is only nine months older than his imperial father, and is only fifty-one years old this year...
*
Palace, imperial palace.
Kangxi and his elder brother also talked about Prince Yu's illness.
As you get older, you will become softer.
It was time for Kangxi to reflect on himself.
Especially at the beginning of the southern tour, I received a letter jointly signed by several of my sons, mentioning that Prince Yu was not hesitant.
With the change of solar terms in the Spring Festival, it is easy to get sick.
Unexpectedly, Prince Yu was paralyzed in bed.
Kangxi was very worried about this brother.
The older generations have withered away one after another, and there are not many left.
Several of my clan brothers of the same generation have left in recent years.
The princes and nephews of the clan have also passed away.
Among the clan kings, there are only a few who reach fifty, and most of them die in their prime.
Kangxi also felt worried and anxious.
He reflected on the Ulan Butong incident. At that time, in order to protect the dignity of his eldest brother, he allowed Fuquan to plead guilty and let him bear the blame for the unfavorable war. It was indeed unfair.
But people tend to help relatives rather than take care of themselves.
The eldest brother is the eldest son of the emperor and represents the dignity of the royal family. He cannot be blamed for being unfavorable in the expedition.
Because of this injustice, Prince Yu also had resentment in his heart.
The two brothers have been in a stalemate for more than ten years, and it only started to ease last year.
Who would have thought that Prince Yu would become paralyzed.
In the book, Kangxi left the matter of visiting Prince Yu and taking the imperial doctor to the palace to his eldest brother. He also hoped that his uncle and nephew would reconcile and relieve Prince Yu's knot.
The eldest brother said: "I'm still using acupuncture, but it doesn't have much effect. I can only lift my arms and can't get out of bed. My face is better and my speech is clearer. The imperial doctor said that continuing acupuncture will have little effect and I can only rest slowly."
"
What Kangxi held in his hands was Prince Yu's pulse.
He turned over it carefully, his face becoming more serious.
"Your uncle has lost weight? Is it because the two waiters, Baotai and Baoshou, didn't do their best?"
Thirty-nine years ago, these two brothers were the only two elder brothers who stayed in Prince Yu's palace. Prince Yu also cherished his two sons.
Crows still know how to feed back.
If his nephews were unfilial, Kangxi would not tolerate it.
The eldest brother said: "My son is also worried that his brother is young and will not be able to take care of others. He asked specifically about it. The two brothers take turns to stay on duty all day long... Wang Bo Aijie eats very little for every meal..."
Kangxi listened with disapproval on his face.
Even if he feels dirty and cannot let his son serve him, what about the eunuch?
Where can I eat taboos?
When a person is sick and lacks vitality, he should take good supplements through food.
No wonder I stayed in bed for two months without any improvement. It turned out to be this reason.
However, after being a brother for decades, he also knows that his brother's temperament is round on the outside and square on the inside, and he is very stubborn from the beginning.
It was inevitable that he would visit the patient in person and make arrangements.
After asking Prince Yu, Kangxi asked about Chang Ning again.
In the 29th year, Chang Ning caught a cold in the army and suffered from edema and fatigue.
This is also the reason why Prince Gong’s palace has not had any more heirs in the past ten years.
Over the years, Chang Ning often complained of illness and was indeed feeling unwell.
They are brothers who are next to each other in age. Chang Ning is only three years younger than him, and he is forty-seven this year.
The eldest brother said: "In the second half of the first month, because I was worried about Uncle Wang's illness, I went to visit him twice. Uncle Wang was also sick, intermittently, and he didn't get better until the end of February."
Kangxi listened and remembered it in his heart.
I went back to pick up a few boxes of the ginseng that was offered as tribute last year and visited Prince Yu's Palace and Prince Gong's Palace.
His hands and feet were not abundant, and Prince Chun died early. He only hoped that Prince Yu and Prince Gong would live a long and healthy life...

The prince who came to greet the emperor, like the emperor, will stay at the Nanyuan Palace tonight.
During the most half month of the return trip, there was no shortage of chicken and fish on the ship, but there was very little supply of other meat.
Brother Ninth had never been picky, and now he couldn't help ordering. He ordered He Yuzhu: "Take two purses, go to the palace dining room, and ask for a plate of roast mutton. I want it to be 30% fat and 70% lean. I'll have another plate."
Grilled deer tongue.”
He Yuzhu went down to make arrangements.
The tenth elder brother was beside him and said with some distress: "Is it because the supply from the Ministry of Internal Affairs is insufficient? Or it's the first time I see the ninth elder brother who is greedy for meat."
Brother Jiu said: "I can't eat the mutton mutton in the south, so I'm craving for the little lamb."
After a while, He Yuzhu came back with the lunch box.
In addition to a few sample dishes, there were two plates of barbecue ordered by Brother Jiu.
Brother Jiu wanted to eat, but he had enough food to eat. He ate two bites of each item, and took half a bowl of sheep tripe soup, so he ate about the same amount.
The rest was all cleaned up by Brother Ten...

In Ning'an Hall, everyone is also having dinner.
On the table were a plate of steamed crabs, a plate of Kung Pao shrimps, a plate of clams with onion and ginger, a plate of steamed clams with garlic, and the rest were several plates of Dongzi dishes.
The other dishes are just okay, the crab is a bit difficult for children to eat.
Shu Shu asked Ging Guo and Xiao Zhen to wash their hands and peel crabs for the children.
Shu Shu here picked the largest one for Madam Uncle, and took the second largest one for herself.
Mrs. Bo took a bite of crab meat and said, "You have to eat this fresh crab meat. The ones that have been frozen in winter are not as good as this."
Shu Shu said: "I still lost weight. I lost weight due to hunger in the two days on the road. If I stayed at the beach and ate it when I fished it out, that would be a different feeling."
Mrs. Bo heard this and said amusedly: "Look at you, what you said is so true, as if you have been to the beach."
Shu Shu smiled and said: "Jiu Ye and I talked about it last year. Now that Fengsheng and the others have been vaccinated, they can take them out. They have to go around, and they can't stay in the house. Let's see if it's hot this summer. If so,
If it’s hot, forget it. It’s not easy to travel. If it’s unusual, you can go to Tianjin Wei. Then we can all stay there for a few days to see the vastness of the sea and eat seafood.”
The uncle said: "What about the third elder brother? Someone has to take care of him. If you want to go, you and your wife will take Fengsheng and the others there, and I will stay in the house to take care of the third elder brother."
She didn't dissuade her, but she felt sorry for Shu Shu who had been bored in the house for the past six months of her pregnancy and confinement.
Shu Shu immediately said: "How can that be done? I want to take the children out, but I also want to take Amu out."
Mrs. Bo waved her hand and said, "No, no, I don't like going out at all."
Shu Shu said: "While you are still strong now, you still have to walk if you can. If you turn into a little old lady later, you will have to stay bored in the house."
The uncle said: "It comes up as soon as you think about it, let's talk about it when the time comes!"
She could see that Shu Shu was in a high mood today.
It's because Brother Nine is coming back soon.
This is a loving couple, looking forward to a happy reunion after a short farewell.
As for going out...
Not easy.
Brother Ninth has an errand.
Even if the ninth elder brother has no errands, as a member of the clan, he is not allowed to leave the capital at will, and must first request an order.
Shu Shu is afraid of trouble. Looking back on this, she probably changed her mind...
