Chapter 2019 Plan
At the third residence, the Thirteenth Lady met Baiguo and was delighted when she saw the lunch box.
"I was worried that the kitchen was not fully equipped, so I thought if it really didn't work, I would shamelessly ask Sister Nine for help..."
Bai Guo said, "Our wife said that we are all family members, so there is no need for outsiders. If there is anything inconvenient for you here, just send someone over."
The Thirteenth Lady asked someone to release the reward and said, "Once everything is settled, I will go and pay my respects to the Ninth Sister-in-law."
After leaving three schools, Baiguo went to a fourth one.
The Fourteenth Prince was eating an apple, but the apple was a little mushy at this time.
He ate with some disgust.
Seeing Bai Guo carrying the lunch box, his eyes lit up and he said, "Sister-in-law Jiu asked you to bring it here, so it must be delicious!"
This is recognizing the ginkgo.
Bai Guo greeted him and said, "Our wife asked someone to prepare this steamed bun, thinking that if your kitchen is not well stocked, it can be used as a snack."
The Fourteenth Prince smiled heartily and said, "My brothers and their families are all here, I won't go out of my way, but I will inevitably bother Sister-in-law Nine from time to time."
Baiguo listened with a smile but did not respond.
The Fourteenth Prince paused, but he also realized that "one must look at the owner before beating the dog."
This is someone close to my sister-in-law, it is not his turn to teach her a lesson.
He asked someone to take the lunch box and also gave out the reward.
After Bai Guo left, he called a young eunuch and ordered, "Go to the Third Residence and find out what the Ninth Lady sent to the Third Residence."
The young eunuch responded and went down.
When he turned around, the Fourteenth Prince had already eaten a whole plate of the Mending Meat Pie and was looking at another plate, wondering whether to eat it or not.
"In reply to the master, the Ninth Lady sent a lunch box to the third residence. Inside was two plates of meat patties, a plate of date paste cakes, and a plate of kidney bean rolls." The young eunuch reported in a low voice.
The Fourteenth Prince raised his eyebrows, trying to understand the reason, and said to himself: "Humph! He pretends to be a warm-hearted person, but he is actually a snob! The sweet cake is eaten by the prince's wife, but the prince's princess can't eat it?"
He complained like this, but he knew in his heart that this was the rule.
Since I don't have a wife, my sisters-in-law don't need to interact with the women in my family, so I won't have any sweet treats.
When two masters came to the third institute, they received another treatment.
Yes, this time the Thirteenth Prince’s princess did not move to Haidian with him. The child was too young to be brought out, so Princess Guarjia and her daughter stayed in the palace.
The ones who came to the Third Institute this time were the Thirteenth Prince and his wife.
The Fourteenth Prince did bring two princesses with him, but they were not formal masters.
The Fourteenth Prince is looking forward to his wedding.
Next year will be the year for the beauty pageant, and the list of beauties must be reported to the Ministry of Rites by the end of August at the latest.
At that time, the Fourteenth Prince’s wife will be selected from among the beauties in this batch.
Ministry of Rites...
The Fourteenth Prince rolled his eyes, wondering whether he should find an excuse to visit the Third Prince twice.
When the second half of the year comes, I can also inquire about the list of beauties.
Suddenly, he remembered that the list of concubines would not only be reported to the Ministry of Rites, but also to the Ministry of Internal Affairs before entering the palace for selection, so he decided to find the twelfth prince, which would be more convenient.
The key is that the twelfth prince is tight-lipped. Even if I inquire about it privately, he will not spread it out.
If it were the Third Prince, he would have a big mouth, and that mouth would be looser than a woman's belt...
*
Five, the main house.
Baiguo came back to report and took two purses with him.
"Both the Thirteenth Lady and the Fourteenth Master were awarded the highest titles. The Thirteenth Lady said she would pay respects to the Lady in two days, and the Fourteenth Master said he might bother the Lady in the future..."
Ginkgo told the story truthfully.
Shushu was not surprised by the reactions from both places.
The Thirteenth Lady has a cheerful personality and is easy to get along with.
The Fourteenth Prince has been stumbling over the past two years and has begun to behave in a more restrained manner.
Except for the Seventh Prince and his wife who have temporarily returned home, the six northern residences are all full.
I guess the South Fifth Institute will be fast too.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard some movement outside.
The Ninth Prince is back.
"Didn't Master say he would be back at noon?"
Shushu asked with some curiosity.
The Ninth Prince said, "I heard that the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Princes are here. I'm worried, so I came back to take a look..."
As he spoke, he looked towards the west and said, "If Old Fourteen comes over, we shouldn't spoil him. We should just give him a good scolding and avoid getting ahead of him!"
Shu Shu said, "It's better to keep it to face the truth, otherwise it will seem like Master is unfriendly to his brother."
The Ninth Prince gritted his teeth and said, "What kind of thing is this? In the early days, I had to respect my elder brothers, but now I have to be friendly to my younger brothers?"
Shushu thought about the Ninth Prince's ranking and smiled, saying, "Master, think about it from another perspective. You can play tricks on the older brothers and teach the younger brothers a lesson. Wouldn't you feel better?"
The Ninth Prince calculated in his mind and said, "Well, I'm taking advantage. I have seven older brothers, but I have more than seven younger brothers. If this continues, I'll probably have two to seven brothers."
Shushu thought about it and realized that in history, the princes of Emperor Kangxi were ranked twenty-fourth. Now that there was an additional youngest son of Concubine Yi, the prince was probably ranked twenty-five.
This brother really has more than a dozen.
It’s just that these little princes behind have too little presence.
What everyone can remember are the princes before the Eighteenth Prince.
The fuse that led to the dethronement of the crown prince, the death of the eighteenth prince...
Whether it was the eighteenth prince of Concubine Yi or the son of Concubine Wang who was already the nineteenth prince, they all had a connection with him.
Shushu was a little dazed.
According to later generations' speculation, if it is mumps, how should it be treated?
Mumps, which is now called "mumps", is a common disease among children. Once infected, the person becomes immune.
The high mortality rate is mostly due to complications.
Shushu wants to look up medical books.
The Ninth Prince saw that she was stunned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shu Shu sighed and said, "I remembered what happened in the Seventh Prince's Mansion. I feel a little scared. Please read more medical books with me later..."
She didn't want to say the words "children are difficult to raise" because she thought it was unlucky.
However, the current imperial physicians all have their own traditions, and even pediatricians may only be good at treating certain diseases.
Shushu was a little worried.
After hearing this, the Ninth Prince also frowned and said, "Three children died in the Yuqing Palace, four died in the Chengjun Palace, two died in the Fourth Brother's Palace, one died in the Seventh Brother's Palace, one died in the Tenth Brother's family, and one died in the Twelfth Prince's..."
I didn't pay attention to these things before, but now that I have calculated them, it is quite horrifying.
"Quack, quack!"
The Ninth Prince understood why Shushu wanted to read medical books on her own.
If you don't know more about it and leave your child's life and death to the imperial physician when something happens, you will feel uneasy.
"It would be nice if there was medicine for emergency treatment..."
The Ninth Prince thought of Le Fengming and said, "Tomorrow, Master will send someone to summon him to Haidian. In addition to studying the wine recipe, he will also look for any useful children's recipe."
Ready-made medicines are not as good as single prescriptions for a single person, but they are good enough as long as they are effective for emergencies.
Just like when the second prince of the Fifth Beile Mansion got acne a few years ago, if there was a better prescription for clearing heat and detoxifying, and the high fever subsided, maybe the child would not have suffered sequelae of the fever.
Speaking of pediatric medicine, the Ninth Prince thought of Niguzhu.
"It's been several days. When did you get him back?"
Shushu was also a little worried about her daughter, but she didn't want to go over to pick her up.
"The Empress Dowager is not the type to make things difficult for others. Since you really love Niguzhu, let him stay with you for a few more days..."
Shu Shu said.
If they went to pick him up, the Queen Mother would definitely not keep the child.
And the Queen Mother would never mention taking Niguzhu over again.
The Ninth Prince said, "Now that everyone is here, there will be people who are suspicious."
"Wait two more days..."
Shushu also knew that if Niguzhu stayed in the North Garden for too long, it would easily attract criticism.
After all, there are quite a few little princesses who came to Haidian this year. Now there is the third princess from the Crown Princess, the second princess from Prince Cheng's Mansion, the eldest princess from the Fifth Beile's Mansion, and the third and fifth princesses from the Seventh Beile's Mansion. Later, there will be the third and fourth princesses from Prince Zhi's Mansion and the second princess from the Fourth Beile's Mansion.
With so many royal grandchildren and princesses around, it would be an eyesore to leave Niguzhu alone in the North Garden.
"Wait another two days. If the Empress Dowager hasn't sent Niguzhu back yet, I will ask her to pay her respects to the Queen Mother..."
Shushu thought of the empress dowager's kindness and her joy towards her great-granddaughter, and she couldn't bear it, so she said.
The Ninth Prince nodded and said, "That's fine. No matter how kind the Empress Dowager is, our eldest princess won't be as comfortable in the North Garden as she is at home..."
