Unlike the old Duke and Prince Ping, those two are clan relatives, and the eldest princess Shuhui is a married woman.
It was a man from Bahrain who was in mourning.
The Lifan Yuan, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs co-organized it, and they were just co-organizers.
In addition, the eldest princess Shuhui is already sixty-nine years old, which is considered a long life. She has great-grandchildren, and she fulfilled her wish to sacrifice her parents before she died, which is a fulfillment.
Everyone grieves a lot less and the funeral is simpler.
The funeral was suspended in Princess Villa for more than ten days, and then the funeral was held.
Thousands of miles away from Bahrain, there is an old custom of cremation in Manchuria and Mongolia, so the eldest princess was sent to Haidian Prince Yu Garden for cremation.
Kangxi led the princes, princes of various clans, ministers, bachelors, ministers, bodyguards, etc. to personally escort the eldest princess to the funeral.
After the eldest princess was cremated, her remains were placed in the urn and brought back to Bahrain by Princess Rongxian and Santaji.
The imperial court sent the third elder brother as an envoy to send the eldest princess Shuhui to the vassal for burial.
The matter of the eldest princess coming to court has come to an end.
Shu Shu felt uncomfortable just listening to Brother Jiu's story about the death of the eldest princess.
She prayed again not to have a daughter.
Although it is soft and tender, the thought of being separated from this flesh and blood is unbearable.
When she mentioned the matter to Brother Jiu, Brother Jiu became more open-minded and said: "It's okay. It really doesn't work. There are other ways. Aling'a went to Khan's Ama to cry and complain..."
Shu Shu was surprised: "You want that Santai Ji Liujing?"
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "That's what I meant. Khan Ama thought of the eldest princess and didn't refuse. I don't know what the situation is."
If he is given grace, then in a year's time, this Santaiji may come to Beijing to replace his bodyguards.
The guards in the palace, in addition to the guards of the Three Banners, also have the favored clan guards and vassal guards.
Shu Shu was noncommittal.
Brother Jiu thought of Santai Ji and described it to Shu Shu: "They are both good in stature and appearance. Bi Ye looks like Lao Shi..."
Not only was he surprised, but the emperor's father and other elder brothers also looked at Santaiji several times when they saw him.
In addition to being similar to the 10th Prince, Santai Ji's eyebrows and eyes are also somewhat similar to Kangxi's.
That is to say, Santai Ji is the youngest son of the county prince Taifu Jin, and his age is not right. If he is the eldest son, it is really hard to tell.
After all, the prince of the county, Taifu Jin, once stayed in the palace for many years.
Brother Jiu couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this: "I guess a lot of people are thinking about it, and some people are asking whether Bahrain Taifujin has returned to Ning in recent years..."
When it comes to the imperial father, no one dares to speak openly, but there must be many people whispering secretly.
It's hard to believe that in a few days, the story of "The Lost Pearl in the Ocean" will be compiled.
Shu Shu had nothing to do, so she took a pen and paper and explained to Brother Jiu about the meaning of bloodline.
The tenth prince and Santai Ji are not just cousins.
The tenth prince is the great-great-grandson of Emperor Taizong and the great-grandson of the princess. Both his father’s and mother’s lines are of Taizu’s blood.
The same is true for Santai Ji. Her grandmother is a princess, her great-grandmother is also a princess, and they both have the blood of Taizu.
The overlapping parts of the two people are not much different than that of half-brothers, so it makes sense that the two are similar.
Santaiji and Kangxi are also related. They are cousins and nephews, and they are not far apart from their biological uncles and nephews, so they are somewhat similar in appearance.
Brother Jiu was dumbfounded when he heard this, and shook his head and said: "There is no such calculation, right? You can only follow your father, how can you follow your mother?"
Shu Shu said: "If we don't follow the mother's rule, how can Yi Gong stand out among brothers?"
At that time, Fu was also the sixteenth son, and Yi Bilong was the sixteenth son.
He also has a half-brother above him. The reason why he can inherit the title of his father and brother over others is because he is the grandson of his great ancestor.
However, when the word "from mother" was mentioned, Shu Shu thought of the Korean ginseng obtained in the past two days and said: "How long has it been since the annual tribute, why is North Korea paying tribute again?"
North Korea is famous for its shortage of silver, so its annual tribute is converted into Korean ginseng, and it was also given the grace to allow the envoys to sell Korean ginseng in the capital when paying tribute, which could be exchanged for silver and brought back to North Korea.
A few days ago, a North Korean envoy came over and specially sent Korean ginseng to Brother Jiu.
Brother Jiu curled his lips and said: "You're a fool. I'm not satisfied with paying tribute four times a year. I'm looking for excuses to come for the fifth time. The court can't stand it. Khan Ama has issued an order that no more tributes are allowed for other things in the future."
number of tributes, otherwise their tributes will be stopped."
In order to show the magnanimity of the suzerain country, the rewards given by the Ministry of Rites and the Lifan Yuan to the tributary countries were far more than the tributes.
Over time, paying tribute became one of the ways for small vassal countries to make money.
Every year one tribute increased to two tributes, and then to four tributes.
Brother Jiu felt distressed when he heard this, and said: "That means you don't have to do anything with me, otherwise I will definitely find a way to get this advantage back!"
Shu Shu mentioned North Korea's "law of obedience to one's mother."
In addition to the royal family and clan, other social identities depend on the identity of the biological mother, which is called the "Law for the Confinement of Sins".
No matter what the status of the biological father is, if the biological mother is a noble, he will be a noble; if the biological mother is a middle-class person, he will be a middle-class person; if the biological mother is a pariah, he will be a slave.
After hearing this, Brother Jiu thought thoughtfully and said: "That's not the same situation as in Taizu's time. Going forward, it should be similar in Qin and Han Dynasties..."
During the reign of Emperor Taizu, only Fujin and the sons of Fujin were assigned to the banner, while the sons of Fujin, the concubine, could only serve as bannermen for their brothers.
The same was true during the Taizong Dynasty, just like the old Duke who passed away.
Speaking of flag status, Brother Jiu remembered something and said, "I will go to the clan mansion tomorrow to see if Noni's lawsuit will be tried..."
If we really go by what the tenth brother said, the two brothers are probably going to Zhenglan Banner, then this lawsuit cannot really be related to them...

The next day, Shifujin came over.
The couple went to Changchun Garden to stay for more than half a month. They followed the Queen Mother back to the palace a few days ago.
"I went to Hongluo Temple on the 15th. What the hell, the carriages were lined up for several miles..."
Shi Fujin was lying on the kang table, eating soft rice cakes and talking about his experiences at Hongluo Temple.
"Last time there was no Guanyin Tao, but this time we have sorted it out. They are all kowtows, one step at a time. I didn't want to kowtow at first, but after thinking about it, I went, so I might as well kowtow, otherwise I feel uncomfortable in my heart.
auspicious……"
"My waist was straight, my legs were sore that I was shaking the next day, and I was sweating all over, but I slept well at night..."
"When I saw the Guanyin statue, I felt less tired. If I lived in front of it, maybe I would kowtow there every day..."
"When I met Prince Zhuang, he kowtowed too. He also brought his concubine Fujin, who is about the same age as us..."
Shu Shu smiled and listened. After being tired for a long time, she slept soundly at night.
Prince Zhuang is sincere enough, don't slap the prince's hat off Brother Sixteen, right?
Shi Fujin added: "All the scattered bamboos in Hongluo Temple are gone, and only a few pieces are left next to each other. They are all surrounded by high walls, and there are signs hanging and monks guarding them..."
Speaking of this, she felt a little worried and said: "Our bamboos have not sprouted..."
This is said to be the bamboo that the fifth elder brother distributed to each family last year.
Raise them in a large pot in a greenhouse.
Shu Shu said: "It's okay. The few plants in our greenhouse have sprouted. After the Qingming Festival, they will be transplanted directly in your yard."
Shifu Jin was immediately happy. He nodded first, then shook his head, and said: "It's not warm enough during the Qingming Festival, is it? Don't freeze, it's okay for the Dragon Boat Festival..."
Shu Shu said: "It's up to you..."
Shi Fujin hesitated again and said: "Then we should ask someone to go to Hongluo Temple and ask the monk who handles the bamboo. What if the bamboo is afraid of the heat when transplanting it?"
Shu Shu didn't know how to comfort her.
If you care, you will be confused, and nothing you say will be good.
She changed her words and asked: "Is the little princess from the third sister-in-law's family good-looking?"
A few days ago, it was the eldest daughter of Sanfu Jin who had a "three bath". Except for Shu Shu, who was inconvenient, all the other sisters-in-law went there.
Although the behavior of the couple, San Age and San Fujin, is somewhat difficult to describe, they both have good looks.
Their younger brother is also pretty and looks better than his other cousins.
Shi Fujin thought for a while and said: "Just one look, and the third sister-in-law asked someone to carry her down..."
Shu Shu calculated the days in her mind.
Sanfujin’s pregnancy is also full term.
Usually babies who are born prematurely will be looked at more carefully.
Shi Fujin said: "I don't know if it's good or not. Little Gege fell asleep and didn't open her eyes. Even the fourth sister-in-law praised her, saying that little Gege was fair and full-term, with dark hair and pink fingernails.
Pink.”
Shu Shu was surprised.
Sifujin has a calm temperament and is not a talkative one.
"The third sister-in-law was weird. She didn't like it even after she praised the child. She even held the fourth sister-in-law's hand and wiped away her tears. She didn't let go for a long time..."
Shi Fujin shook his head and said: "It's not very happy anyway. The fifth sister-in-law and the seventh sister-in-law don't talk much. Is this because she dislikes having little princess? But she already has two elder brothers..."
Shu Shu knew the reason and couldn't help but frown.
Shu Shu had also heard some rumors about the government.
Now think about it, how shameful it is to be able to say such gossip.
This is to reduce Sanfujin to the mud.
Such relatives are more hateful than enemies, and the lies they tell seem to be the truth.
Shu Shu sneered, if she were San Fujin, she would not let anyone go and clean up all...
This is also the reason why she has reduced her social circle. If she doesn't have necessary relatives, she doesn't need to interact with them.
It's a bit sharper, but people don't dare to mess with it.
He is too approachable and easily underestimated.
It is human nature to bully the weak and fear the strong.

Sanbeile Mansion, main room.
On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month of Sanfu Jin Dynasty, a daughter was born, and she is still in the puerperium.
Mammy came in and said: "Fu Jin, there is another person coming from the palace..."
San Fujin opened his eyes, feeling a little more happy and said: "No!"
Didn’t you say it happily when you chewed your tongue last year?
Do you really think she is easy to bully?
The nanny hesitated and said, "What if they take Mrs. Side back later?"
San Fujin lowered his head and said: "If it's embarrassing for the eldest brother, then let them pick him up. If it's not filial to pick him up, I won't watch in vain. If it were someone else, I wouldn't have to give him face..."
When my daughter gave birth, she took her biological mother to take care of her, and no one could blame her.
In the past, when she gave face to her parents' family, she was just thinking about her biological mother, fearing that she would offend her sister-in-law and sister-in-law, and that her biological mother would be treated poorly.
But because Shu Shu was pregnant, she confidently took her aunt to take care of her. Then her own child had already been born, so it was more appropriate to take her biological mother.
As for Hongqing's companion reading, it has been settled and there is no room for replacement.
She is not a fool. She knows that even if her parents' family is unreliable, they will not be offended at all and they still have to look good.
So she also chose a child of the Dong E family, not her nephew, but a cousin from a side branch, and a clan member from her stepmother's natal family.
In this way, two of the four imperial grandchildren were selected from their natal families, and no one else could say anything.
The remaining two were chosen from the disciples of Sanbeile Mansion.
As for what Third Brother mentioned about wanting to choose someone from Tian Gege's natal family, San Fujin just thought it was fart.
Taking Yuqing Palace's lesson into account, if he really dared to lift Gege's natal family into the study room, he would be out of his mind...
