Capital, Ninth Prince's Mansion, main room.
Shu Shu was drawing the "Nine Nines to Eliminate Cold", taking her own rouge and filling in the colors of the plum blossoms.
It is already the third day of the "Four Ninth Festival", and tomorrow will be the twelfth lunar month, and Brother Jiu has not returned to Beijing yet.
According to Brother Jiu's words before departure, he should arrive in Beijing by the end of the month at the latest.
Shu Shu was a little worried.
I'm afraid of getting sick outside, and for other reasons.
When Ninth Elder Brother was here before, she disliked Ninth Elder Brother for being clingy; but after being separated for half a month, she really thought about it.
Xiao Chun opened the curtain and came in, saying happily: "Fu Jin, Sun Jin is back!"
They, the people who serve around her, are the ones who can best sense Shu Shu's emotional changes.
Seeing that Shu Shu lost her energy and was unhappy all day long, they all felt anxious.
Shu Shu hurriedly said: "Quickly pass!"
Xiao Chun responded and went out to bring Sun Jin in.
"Because of the eldest princess, I traveled slowly when I came back. I only traveled thirty miles a day, with two days of rest in between. It is estimated that I will not arrive in Beijing until the fourth day of the twelfth lunar month. I was afraid that Fujin would miss me, so I sent my servant to come back first. …”
Sun Jin did not hesitate and directly explained the reason.
After receiving the accurate information, Shu Shu felt at ease: "Thank you for your hard work. Go back and have a good rest. It's my fault that you're on the road at this time."
Although there is an old saying in Beijing that "it's hot in the third volts and cold in the third nines", in fact, it's also cold in the "fourth nines", and sometimes the temperature is lower than in the "three nines". ,
Sun Jin went down.
Shu Shu looked at the hanging "Nine-Nine Cold Relief Picture" with joy on his face.
Just three more days.
She looked at Xiao Chun and said, "Every family's New Year's gift has been prepared in the past few days. When I come back, I will send it away."
Xiao Chun agreed.
Shu Shu looked at Walnuts again and said, "Tell the kitchen to order a lamb on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and then I can make up for it."
Walnut also went down to give instructions.
Komatsu is still in the house.
Shu Shu's current situation is that she is surrounded by people for twelve hours.
Xiaochun and Walnut took turns staying on duty at night.
As for Mrs. Bo, after Shu Shu stayed for two days, she stopped staying.
Because she found that Mrs. Uncle didn't sleep well when she was staying here, always thinking about herself, and always woke up in the middle of the night.
After all, she was an elderly person, so Shu Shu didn't dare to mess with her anymore, so she slept separately.
Shu Shu lowered his head and glanced at his belly. It was four months old. Because it was twins, it looked like it was five or six months old.
She asked Xiaochun to use a sling, but she felt tired even when standing, and felt uncomfortable when sitting. She slept on her side most of the time.
All her clothes were changed into new, loose coats.
There was a push on the left side of my stomach, and I didn’t know if it was the child’s little hands or feet that were moving.
A four-month-old baby should already be as long as a palm.
Xiaosong said: "Fu Jin, my slave, please massage your legs."
Shu Shu nodded. He moved less now and his body was rusty.
However, due to pregnancy, many areas cannot be massaged, so I can only massage the legs and arms.
Xiao Song stood beside the kang, pressing it carefully.
As she rubbed it, her eyes fell on Shu Shu's belly, with awe in her eyes.
Shu Shu saw it and smiled bitterly.
It scares people to death.
She was in awe, too.
She still had some regrets.
Although in the eyes of the world, this woman's marriage and childbearing are as normal as eating and drinking, and not marrying or giving birth is an anomaly, she still misses the future.
If she were still in the future, she would have remained unmarried and childless to stay safe.
When she was suffering from pregnancy, she also had dark thoughts.
I always feel that I can be responsible for myself, and I don’t want to be responsible for so much.
She sighed and rubbed her belly gently.
Regardless of whether it is little brother or little princess, they must be obedient. She is worried that she will become a "tiger mother" because she is impatient.
Xiaosong hesitated for a moment and said: "After Fujin gives birth this time, let's just stop giving birth. It looks like it's too painful..."
She and Xiaotang were both afraid of childbirth, but they also knew how to restrain themselves and try not to show it in front of Shu Shu.
Shu Shu nodded and said, "Well, it will definitely take a few years."
It would be nice if there were two elder brothers. In that case, she would want to seal her belly.
This one experience is enough.
She never thought there was anything wrong with being a woman, nor did she necessarily want to be a man to achieve success, but this time she got pregnant, and she no longer wanted to be a woman.
The cycle is too long.
There are some unspeakable changes in my body, and I go to the clean room more often...
Wood.
In Shu Shu's longing day and night, finally on the fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Holy Emperor returned to the palace.
After the ninth elder brother followed the eldest elder brother and third elder brother to send the eldest princess and Princess Rongxian to the princess's courtyard, he said goodbye to his two elder brothers and couldn't wait to return to the prince's mansion.
The third elder brother shook his head and muttered to the eldest elder brother: "Look at how hopeless Lao Jiu is. They have been married for two years and are still clinging to each other. Fujin cannot be used to this."
The eldest elder brother glanced at the third elder brother and said, "Let's not get involved in the young couple's affairs. He can do whatever he likes."
The third elder brother disapproved and said: "You have to stand up. You are also going to be an amma."
The eldest brother was too lazy to listen to his trembling words and said, "Go back, it's getting late..."
Wood.
Ninth Prince's Mansion, main room.
The couple reunited after a short break, looking at each other with smiles on their faces.
Shu Shu looked at Brother Ninth. Because he was riding in the car, his face was still fair, but he had lost weight and his chin was pointed.
"Didn't you bring a lot of food? There are many kinds of things that can be used as late-night snacks. Why have you lost weight?" She asked with a little heartache.
Brother Jiu couldn't say anything, and said: "It was fine when I went there. I was in a hurry and didn't show much of the delicious food, so I just gave out a few cans of tea. When I came back, I went slowly and Khan Ama had nothing to do, so I gave him all my things." Confiscated..."
After hearing this, Shu Shu couldn't help frowning and said: "How could the emperor do this? I have prepared several portions for you, and I have plenty left. I thought that there are two younger brothers, the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother. Even if I have to Even if it is confiscated, you should keep your share."
Brother Jiu looked a little complicated and said: "It's not all thanks to Khan Ama. What you prepared for me is good for my stomach, easy to digest, and suitable for the eldest princess."
Shu Shu was worried and said: "Is the eldest princess in a bad condition?"
Even if we took a detour back to the city, the distance would still be less than 400 miles, and we ended up walking for more than ten days.
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "It should be around the year and the end of the year. This is still supported by the 'Extension Pill', otherwise, I won't be able to survive the journey."
Shu Shu thought about the food she had prepared for Ninth Brother before, including lotus root starch, black sesame paste, butter fried noodles, walnut and red date powder, milk powder, instant millet porridge, instant rice porridge, and then meat floss and several kinds of seasoned vegetable and fruit granules. Indeed More suitable for the taste of the elderly.
She said: "I haven't sent out the New Year's gifts yet. I want to wait until I come back to start sending them out. Then, for the eldest princess, let's add a few things and some side dishes."
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "Well, it's more or less my intention."
After saying this, Brother Jiu looked at Shu Shu, dissatisfied, and asked Shu Shu: "I am running around outside. I can't eat well and sleep well. If I lose weight, I will lose weight. You are doing well at home, why don't you do it?" Thin?"
Shu Shu looked at Brother Jiu and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Do you want to tell him that this is the powerful power of the "Beef Diet"? !
These days, beef was plentiful, so Shu Shu adjusted her diet, mainly beef and eggs, supplemented by vegetables, and replaced rice and noodles with miscellaneous grains, and also reduced the quantity.
The fat is supplemented with sesame seeds and butter, which can not only moisturize the intestines, but also supplement calcium.
This is a high-protein, high-fat, low-carb diet.
The results are impressive.
She doesn't have to worry about the baby in her belly being too big, nor does she have to worry about her enlarging appetite and developing a body that's prone to obesity.
Brother Jiu thought she was shy and felt very distressed. He regretted it. He took Shu Shu's hand and said guiltily: "I regret it. It's time to resign. It's not the right time to show off in front of Khan Ama!"
Shu Shu nodded and said: "I regret it too. It's too hard to go out in this cold winter. Fortunately, I'm fine."
Son·
Cross it out.
The husband travels thousands of miles and the wife is worried.
Wood.
Zhenghongqi, Sanbeile Mansion, Shangfang.
Brother San looked at San Fujin's belly and felt a little uncomfortable.
San Fujin heard the gossip outside, and San Age naturally knew something about it.
He died unjustly.
He didn't want to bear this reputation, and he didn't like the child very much. He felt that he came at an inappropriate time.
"What did the imperial doctor say? When is the delivery date?"
The third elder brother was more concerned about this and said: "The belly is also big, so you can easily stop going to the ground and try to keep it until full term..."
Full-term children can still be distinguished from less-than-month-old children.
By the time the "three cleanses" and "full moon wine" are over, the couple's suspicions can also be cleared.
"Yes, I know. The imperial doctor said it is in the first month."
San Fujin had similar plans, and was worried that if he accidentally gave birth early, he would not be able to get rid of the suspicion.
It's almost eight months old now, so it needs to be taken care of carefully.
Third Brother's eyes fell on San Fujin's head, with disgust on his face.
I haven't washed my hair for a few days. It's shiny and shiny, and the scent of osmanthus oil makes it stink.
Sanfujin was so stunned when he saw this.
She had caught a cold a few days ago and had some cold symptoms, so she didn't dare to take a shower or wash her hair.
Seeing that the third elder brother was about to leave, San Fujin told Hongqing about going to the study to study.
The third elder brother's eyes suddenly lit up. He had stood up before and then sat back down. He asked in confusion: "Why are there still people from the fifth family? Aren't they bastards?"
San Fujin also felt puzzled and said: "Who knows? The ninth elder brother sent people around him to tell him. He only said that he would enroll at the beginning of next year. There are Hongyu from the eldest elder brother's family, our Hongqing, and the fifth elder brother's house. Shang Hongdiao, start enlightenment together with the sixteenth elder brother and the second elder brother of Yuqing Palace..."
The third elder brother was surprised and said: "Then why did you pull down Honghui from the fourth family?"
San Fujin shook his head and said: "No, I asked at that time and he said that the emperor also ordered Honghui and the eldest brother of the seventh elder brother to enroll in the school the year after next!"
The third elder brother's eyes were filled with excitement and he said: "Khan Ama is kind and reluctant to let us split up, so he gave grace to the emperor and his grandchildren..."
From now on, there is no need to worry that the emperor's father only loves the emperor's grandson brother in Yuqing Palace...
