Shu Shu sat at the head of Qifu Jin, and her husband and wife shared the same table.
Tonight’s banquet is still mainly Manchurian cuisine.
When a princess returns to court, she is just like an ordinary daughter returning to her parents' home. She must give her a taste of home.
Manchurian fried noodles, royal roasted golden pig, pork stuffed soup pastry, braised sea cucumber, braised shark's fin, duck pot, shredded chicken, mushroom braised cabbage, vegetarian chowder...
Some are daily dishes in the palace, and some are delicacies from mountains and seas.
The banquet looked very rich.
It’s just that the weather is hot now, so it’s really not the time to eat meat.
Whether Shu Shu or Qifu Jin, although they looked like they were eating seriously, they only tasted it briefly.
I picked up fried noodles, shredded chicken, etc., and when I got down, it was as big as my head.
It didn't look rude, but in fact it looked as if the table hadn't moved.
"What delicious food have you prepared for a treat the day after tomorrow?"
Seeing that there was no place to play fast, Qi Fujin asked in a low voice.
Shu Shu said truthfully: "I don't know. Brother Fourteen came over to order. When I thought about it, this dish was pretty good, so I asked Xiaotang to draw up the menu and planned to let everyone circle it. This would make it easier."
Qi Fujin admired him: "What a great idea. It saves people's worries. It's not like an outsider."
Shu Shu said: "I haven't written a message for you. This time it's their men's business, so we won't join together. In a few days, I'll ask Zhuangzi to send some delicious food. You and the ten brothers and sisters are here, and I'll go alone." Please come back..."
Qi Fujin waved his hand and said, "Why don't you invite me? Whenever Lao Jiu is not at home, I just lift my legs and go over."
Many of the clan members were looking at San Fujin and Jiu Fujin.
Who would have thought that the usually quiet third elder brother would come out like this, and the news would not stop for more than half a month.
As a result, Brother Ninth returned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs yesterday...
The two brothers also engaged in a fierce battle between a dragon and a tiger.
Who wins and who loses can be known just by looking at who is still in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The emperor is lenient and will definitely not be happy to cause trouble everywhere.
In Third Brother's place, it's a trivial matter to disturb the accounting department, but to involve several princes' wives is a big deal.
Is this intentional? Or was it unintentional?
I heard that the third elder brother is on good terms with Yuqing Palace. Is this the intention of the third elder brother or the prince?
But aren't the Fucha family members of the prince's family?
This cloudy mountain is shrouded in mist, and many people feel guilty.
But if you can't tell from anything else, it's true that the two cousins and sisters-in-law, Jiu Fujin and San Fujin, are estranged from each other.
The couple in front of him and behind him didn't speak, and seemed to be averting their eyes.
Others were fine, but Prince Kang Taifujin was a little worried. When Shu Shudan sent her out, he took her hand and said: "If there is a rift between brothers, let them go. You have to get by so that your elders won’t complain later, thinking that it was you who instigated discord among the brothers..."
Even the Dong E family will say that Shu Shu does not care about her relatives in the future.
Shu Shu held the arm of Prince Kang Tai Fujin and whispered about the rude knocking on the door, saying: "It's so snobbish, and he still likes to be arrogant. When he was rude before, he was not polite when he got close to him, so he should avoid it." It's better to open a little more, and she can still know some sense of propriety."
】
Prince Kang Taifujin couldn't help but get annoyed and said: "Don't pay attention to her in the future! This is a sister too. Don't expect her to take care of you, and don't come to bully people. Just ignore her!"
Shu Shu nodded and said: "With so many sisters-in-law, we can't all be friends with each other. It's good to just chill out like this."
Tai Fujin, Prince Kang, patted her hand and said, "As long as you know what's going on, don't wrong yourself. Every family has its own life, and the most important thing is to be comfortable."
Shu Shu respectfully responded.
Prince Kang Taifujin was sent away here, and when she arrived at the gate of Beiwusuo, Shu Shu saw the Crown Princess waiting for her.
"I should have apologized in the morning, but I did it in such a big way that it aroused the attention of others..."
This is about the sixth day of May. Because Aktun was seriously ill, the Crown Princess's nanny came to ask for help in the name of the Crown Princess.
The door was not the place to talk, so Shu Shu welcomed people into the main room, served tea, and the guests and hosts took their seats.
Shu Shu looked at the Crown Princess, with a solemn look on her face, and said: "You are a sensible person, and you should also know that Aunt Zhou has weird thoughts and involves us. If Aktun really makes a mistake, we will be the ones taking the blame. , this is considered loyal to you, but for us, is it unjust or not? What name do we need to bear for harming our nephew? Good intentions are not rewarded, and we are talking about..."
The Crown Princess's eyes were red and she said, "I didn't expect that she would end up like this?"
The person has been registered in the palace and returned to the uncle's house, but there is also a rift between the husband and wife.
Shu Shu let out a breath, looked at the Crown Princess and said: "You are the Crown Princess, please be well, your head will be stable."
The current crown princess is in a more difficult situation than the crown princess in history, because the news of her physical injury has long been spread.
Let alone a royal family, it is an ordinary family. A daughter-in-law cannot have children here, and she does not have enough confidence.
The Crown Princess lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes. When she raised her head again, her eyes were calmer and she said, "I have really slacked off in the past two months. As a result, before the external troubles came, my husband was in internal chaos. I was indeed wrong."
Shu Shu didn't know how to comfort her. If Yuqing Palace really wanted to marry Xiang Fujin, who was born into a noble family, that would be a real worry.
She could only console her: "Think more about Sangege. If you are good, she will be well. In the future, whether you are going to care for Meng or stay in the capital like Jiugege, you don't have to make plans for us as parents..."
The princess nodded.
It was getting late, and after the sisters-in-law finished speaking, the princess left.
Shu Shu personally sent it out.
When he returned to the main room, Walnut took the gift list and said, "Fu Jin, this is the '100th birthday gift' given by the East Palace in the afternoon. There are some very valuable things."
Shu Shu took it and saw that in addition to the ordinary gold and silver necklaces, small clothes, etc., there were also two jade ornaments, a white jade magnolia flower arrangement and a sapphire Buddha's hand, as well as two antiques such as a Northern Song Dynasty official kiln celadon penholder and a Ming Xuande furnace, ginseng, Four supplements: deer antler, snow clam and donkey hide gelatin.
The supplements are just fine, they can be bought and exchanged outside. The other things should be rare and good things, either from the Yuqing Palace's treasury or from the Crown Princess's dowry.
Shu Shu nodded and said: "Take it and store it in the warehouse..."
Just then Brother Jiu came back and said, "What is it?"
Shu Shu handed over the gift list.
Brother Jiu read it once, handed it to Shu Shu, curled his lips and said, "We also had a conflict with Yuqing Palace. This time, who cares if they can't apologize?"
Shu Shu said: "Don't be surprised, just stay away from him in the future."
Brother Jiu looked at her, a little strange, and said, "Don't you always talk about the princess?"
Shu Shu said: "If it brings us trouble, good people should stay away."
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "That's the truth. If Sanfujin and Bafujin are really wrong, I'm really not afraid of you suffering a loss. After all, everyone's eyes are not blind. It's clear who is right and who is wrong. I'm afraid of this reputation." Well, if you are popular, you will suffer a loss when the time comes, and others will think you deserve it..."
Shu Shu didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so she changed her words and said, "I was in the Sixth Institute just now?"
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "No, the fifth brother came to see off the fifth sister-in-law. When the fourth brother was there, the fourth brother called me over..."
"The fifth brother wanted to ask the fourth brother about the food of the fourth sister-in-law. It seemed that the fifth sister-in-law was not very fat and her belly was not big. He was worried, but the fourth brother reprimanded him and told him not to think about it on his own and to listen to the doctor. Order..."
"The fourth brother asked me about the treat the day after tomorrow, and Sun Jin happened to bring the menu over. The fourth brother said it was casual, and the fifth brother ordered four dishes..."
Shu Shu also briefly talked about today's reception banquet.
She just made up the numbers, following her sisters-in-law to fill in the head.
On the contrary, Shi Gege appeared in front of so many people for the first time in my memory.
"Looking a bit more honest and delicate..."
Shu Shu said.
After hearing this, Brother Jiu thought thoughtfully and said: "We can see it, and Khan Ama can definitely see it too. I'll probably find a foster mother to give her a good education for a few years."
Shu Shu said: "Is it too late? Shi Gege is already sixteen..."
If, like Ke Jing and Jiu Gege, they get married at the age of eighteen or nine, there will still be two or three years left.
"How old is Shifu?"
Shu Shu asked.
This man seemed to be very famous in history, and became one of the two kings with different surnames who were worthy of enjoying the Ancestral Temple.
Brother Jiu's face was speechless and he said: "Celeng and the eldest brother Tong Geng..."
Shu Shu couldn't help being shocked and said: "So big?"
What are the outsiders saying about this Kharkadej?
In the 31st year of Kangxi's reign, his grandmother took him to the imperial court. The tribe's people lost their land in Khalkha and are now settled in the Chahar pasture.
Taiji and his younger brother were granted the title of emperor in the capital, and the brothers were still being educated in the inner court.
Shu Shu thought he was about the same age as Shi Gege, but he didn't expect him to be so old.
Brother Jiu said: "Over in Mongolia, the old grandmother is in charge. At that time, his grandmother was the one who made the decision. Outsiders thought he was too young, but his younger brother was really young. He was only one year old when he came to invest, and he is also in the upper class now. study……"
Having said this, he thought for a while and said: "I was thinking about it. Brother Khan Amaru Celeng is in the capital, not like a proton, but more like a back-up man to deal with Tuxie Tubu. If that As long as he obeys, Celeng's tribesmen will still be in Chahar, and there will be places to settle on the left and right sides; if the Tuxie Tube disobeys, the Celeng brothers will leave and return to the north. They are also the Tuxie Tube. The big branch..."
Shu Shu looked at Brother Jiu with admiration.
It's rare that he's not such a noob anymore and his analysis makes sense.
This consort with ten foreheads later made great military achievements and guarded northern Xinjiang for forty or fifty years.
Brother Jiu looked at Shu Shu's expression and hummed: "I'm not stupid, I still understand the principle of 'Those who are not of my race will have different hearts'. There are few Manchus, and the Mongols are allies, so we need to be careful. opponent……"
Shu Shu said: "According to what I said, if I really want to choose an adoptive mother for Shi Gege, she should be Concubine Hui. She is kind and tolerant..."
The most fundamental reason is that Yifei seems to have too much momentum now.
Three biological sons, one adopted son, one adopted daughter, and Kangxi's favor.
Before comparison, Concubine Hui, the first of the four concubines, was already weak.
He only has one biological son, the eldest brother, and the adopted son, the eighth brother, is also ordinary.
Master Duanshui refers to Kangxi.
If I were to give him a nickname, it would be "Unbalanced and Uncomfortable"...
