Shu Jin was already seven months pregnant, and the delivery room was already prepared. The kang was heated every day, and the bedding was often exposed to the sun. The woman who delivered the baby, Wen Po, was also a veteran of the royal family. Even the imperial physician came every month.
She came back to ask for her pulse twice, and the doctor from the government came to her door every day to check her pulse, fearing that something might happen to her.
His direct descendant Fujin also sent his confidant maid Danzhu to visit and express his condolences every now and then, and he was often given rewards. On the other hand, Prince Yong, the official master, rarely showed up, and only came to visit once or twice a month. Shu Jin couldn't bear it.
I am complaining, I don’t know if I am busy or just a scumbag...
Of course, Shu Jin and this fourth master really had nothing to talk about, and they were very awkward when they met.
"You look a lot fatter." - On this day, Prince Yong arrived at a sunny and warm afternoon, and he was quite speechless when he opened his mouth.
Shu Jin couldn't help but express condolences to mmp, and then smiled like a Maitreya Buddha: "When you are in the later stages of pregnancy, your waist will naturally become extra fat." I pay attention to my diet! It's just my belly that's fat!
Yinzhen's eyes glanced at the round and towering belly twice before nodding, "I heard Po Wen say the day before yesterday that the fetus in your belly is head down, so it must be in a very correct position."
Shu Jin was speechless for a while: "Fourth Master, I just made another circle this morning, and now my head is pointing up."
Yinzhen frowned slightly: "How could this happen?!"
Shu Jin:……
"The baby in the belly is active and often turns around. This is normal." Shu Jin had to explain patiently. Could it be that he thought the fetus would stay in one position? Unless it was a stillbirth!
Yinzhen nodded in relief, "That's good."
Shu Jin quickly and meekly said: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I and the child in my belly are fine." - After all, this is the big boss and cannot afford to offend him.
Although Prince Yongzheng looks rude and kind now, Shu Jin, who is familiar with history, understands that Emperor Yongzheng is not a good person!
"When Mrs. Niu Hulu gave birth, it's hard to believe that you were smart enough to ask Jialan to come forward." - Otherwise, Lan Ruo, a young aunt, and Mrs. Li's temperament, I'm afraid she wouldn't be willing to let go.
Shu Jin smiled naively: "How can I think of so many things? It's all because of Aunt Lanruo's idea."
Lan Ruo, who was standing by the side, didn't know what to say for a moment, "Gegegegege, just take this great opportunity for yourself! How can I, a slave, need wit and opinion?!"
Yinzhen choked, this Geng...forget it, he has never read a few books and is indeed not very smart.
Shu Jin gained weight during pregnancy, and with that silly smile, I have to say that she does look a bit stupid.
After a long time, Yinzhen reluctantly said: "Lan Ruo is good and deserves a reward."
Hearing these words, Lan Ruoshao could not help but kowtow to express gratitude, and said humbly: "This slave is just following orders and doing things."
Yinzhen glanced at the round-waisted Geng again, "Recently, Niu Hulu often takes Yuan Shou to pay respects to his descendant Fujin. Have you heard about this?"
Shu Jin was stunned: "Yuanshou??"
Yinzhen said lightly, "Yeah", "Let's call it this for now."
Um...nickname??
"It turns out that this is the nickname given by the prince to the fourth elder brother. It's very meaningful." Shu Jin praised him quickly, and then said, "A few days ago, I heard Niu Hulu Gege say that my direct descendant Fujin is very concerned about the fourth elder brother.
."
Yinzhen's face was cold: "I'm quite concerned."
Why don’t you look happy???
"Well...Fu Jin is the legitimate mother after all." Adopting a concubine is actually a legitimate thing.
Yinzhen did not answer the question. She picked up the tea and took another sip, and then said with a straight face: "I brought you a Korean ginseng, which was just paid tribute this autumn. It will be prepared for the day when you give birth."
A tribute from Bangzi Country...that is indeed a good thing.
"Thank you, Fourth Master." Shu Jin thanked him obediently.
Leaving the Korean ginseng behind, Prince Yong, the true father-in-law, just patted his ass and left, staying for only two-quarters of an hour.
Shu Jin breathed a long sigh of relief and finally got out.
Lan Ruo had already opened the brocade box herself, revealing the ginseng with distinct roots inside, "Gege, this Korean ginseng is in excellent quality."
Shu Jin looked at it and saw that it was not big, but it was obviously wild, so it was considered rare, and he said: "It's good to keep it in the warehouse." Even if it is not used during childbirth, it can be used after giving birth.
Use it to replenish your health.
Shuang'er sat obediently on the footrest and rubbed her swollen ankle, "It seems that the prince is very concerned about the baby in Gege's belly."
Shu Jin almost rolled his eyes. He came to visit twice a month. Is this called caring?
Xueer whispered: "It would be great if it was an elder brother. Maybe Gege can also be a side Fujin!"
Hearing this, Shu Jin immediately gave this little girl a hard look and said, "Don't talk nonsense! Even if you want to seal off Fujin, it must be Niu Hulu Gege."
Although she is now second only to Li Fujin in the direct descendant of Fujin, it does not mean that her status is higher than that of Niu Hulu!
No matter how Niu Hulu's natal family declines, it will still be the Three Flags of Manchuria! And she was born in the draft.
The original Geng family was Bao Yiqi, that is, she was given to the fourth prince Yinzhen as a palace maid. Although she soon gained the status of concubine Princess, it was different after all.
Therefore, historically, both Geng and Niu Hulu had elder brothers, but after Yongzheng ascended the throne, Niu Hulu was granted the title of Concubine Xi, while Geng was only a concubine! This is evident.
After all, in this era, there is discrimination against Hongguoguo! However, Niu Hulu treated her like a sister, but she didn't look discriminatory, at least on the surface.
Xueer shrank her neck and lowered her head, and said cautiously: "But Niu Hulu Gege is not favored..."
Shu Jin’s black line: “Am I going to be favored?”
Xueer was speechless for a moment.
"From now on, no matter what you say in front of or behind others, you are not allowed to gossip!" Shu Jin deliberately scolded with a straight face.
This was the first time that Xueer saw her princess so angry. She quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "Yes! I'm talking too much! I deserve to die!"
Damn it, but it's not like...
The servility of this era...
Shu Jin sighed and quickly showed a gentle face, "Okay, just remember, get up."
Lan Ruo saw this and nodded secretly. Although Geng Gege had a softer temper, her heart was very clear and clear. Lan Ruo smiled and handed the brocade box to Xueer: "Send it to the warehouse, and then go to the kitchen to have a look at Gege."
How's the bird's nest stew going?"
"yes!"
Lan Ruo glanced at Shuang'er, who was as quiet as water, and said with a smile: "On the contrary, Shuang'er, who is younger, is more stable."
Shuang'er scratched her head and smiled: "Auntie, I'm sorry, it's just that I'm stupid."
Shu Jin smiled and said to Lan Ruo: "They are both young after all. If something happens, you will have to support them."
Lan Ruo smiled humbly, "It's just that I don't dislike my slave."
After saying that, Lan Ruo whispered: "Recently, Niu Hulu Gege often carries the fourth elder brother to Danhua Hall. He goes there for a long time. Now everyone says that Niu Hulu Gege wants to hand over the fourth elder brother to his direct descendants.
Fujin is raising her."
Shu Jin thought to himself, Niu Hulu's movements were quite fast.
Lan Ruo continued: "However, neither Niu Hulu Gege nor Fujin has said anything clearly. It seems like they are waiting for the other party to speak."
Shu Jin smiled and said, "Fu Jin wanted to raise his third elder brother back then, but he was frustrated. Naturally, he would not say this easily." These words were just for the occasion. Can Niu Hulu and Li Zifu Jin be the same?
?What's more, Niu Hulu has already taken the initiative to carry Si elder brother to greet him. Do you want a mother to take the initiative to say this?
"Yes." Lan Ruo did not refute, but nodded, "The fourth elder brother is Niu Hulu Gege's biological flesh and blood after all, and he is just one month old now..."
Shuang'er was a little puzzled: "Then Niu Hulu Gege is reluctant to let go? Then why do you want to take Fourth Brother to Danhua Hall?"
Lan Ruo looked at Shuang'er with a smile, and then looked at Geng Gege, who she was serving now: "As Gege said, our prince only has one Fu Jin, as usual, he can invite another one."
Why didn't Shu Jin understand that it was true that Niu Hulu was just making excuses now, but if his direct descendant Fujin offered the position of Xiang Fujin, how would Niu Hulu choose when he was introduced?
Shu Jin said quietly: "Every gain must come with a loss. I don't envy Niu Hulu Gege." There is no need to envy it, because the other side of Fujin's seat is for a small rice cake!!
Lan Ruo was slightly startled, and then said: "Gege is so calm and composed, I feel relieved."
Shuang'er couldn't help but feel a little uneasy: "Is Niu Hulu Gege going to be a side Fujin?"
Shu Jin thought to himself, "It's okay to have no shadow." He just said lightly: "It's hard to say. Li Fujin was so favored back then. He had to give birth to three sons and one daughter in exchange for Fujin's position.
"
In terms of favor, Niu Hulu's family is really incomparable to Li's family!
In history, the Niu Hulu family gave birth to Hongli, but she was only a concubine. On the contrary, it was the little rice cake who came after her.
"So, there is no need to worry unfounded now." Shu Jin was very calm.
