After Mrs. Bo's prescription was finished, it was Shu Shu's turn to check her pulse.
There are no other new problems except for the continued loss of energy and blood.
There is a special imperial physician here in Shu Shu who prescribes medicine, but this imperial physician does not write any new prescriptions.
Next, it was Brother Jiu's turn.
Because it was time to perform acupuncture, Mrs. Bo went back.
Although she knew that she was destined to be in a certain age and there was no need to avoid it, she was not a close relative after all.
Shu Shu thought for a while and asked Walnut to make a bowl of almond tea for Ninth Brother.
Brother Jiu said while drinking: "Aren't we going to have dinner soon?"
Shu Shu smiled and said: "First, give me some cushion..."
After Brother Jiu had finished his tea, he lay down and performed acupuncture.
The medical skills of the imperial doctors who can take turns in Changchun Garden are all top-notch.
Shu Shu did not doubt the imperial doctor's acupuncture skills.
Brother Jiu was a little upset. He pulled Shu Shu's wrist and said, "I'm not afraid of the pain. I just feel sick thinking about the needle tip and feel like vomiting..."
Shu Shu knew that in future generations, this would be called "fainting from needles".
It's just because I'm afraid of being cruel.
It would be better not to look at it or think about it.
She turned around, blocking Brother Jiu's view, then squeezed his hand and said, "Why are you still awake at night? Don't worry Sanbeile, the emperor is the most kind, I guess he is just trying to scare you." , nothing will happen.”
Brother Jiu knew that this was a reminder to him that someone else was there.
He said: "The main reason is that I am worried that Khan Ama will be angry. The previous punishment for my son was to be grounded and copy books. This time he will be sent directly to the clan mansion. It sounds very scary."
Shu Shu said: "Don't worry about this, sir. There are so many brothers above, so they won't watch in vain."
Brother Jiu said: "Well, I begged for mercy anyway, and the rest depends on what Khan Ama says..."
Because he was distracted and didn't think about acupuncture, his body relaxed and the needle insertion went much more smoothly.
Brother Jiu said "Huh".
Shu Shu said: "What's wrong, Master? Does it hurt? Let's go back and see if we can switch to moxibustion. That one shouldn't hurt..."
Brother Jiu asked: "Moxibustion? The one that doesn't use needles?"
Shu Shu said: "Don't move, it's like cupping or scraping..."
Brother Jiu then asked the imperial doctor, "Physician Xiao, can this acupuncture be replaced by moxibustion?"
The imperial doctor hesitated again and said: "Jiu Ye, moxibustion is not my specialty. Performing acupuncture for Jiu Ye is the emperor's order. If you want to change the method of diagnosis and treatment, you need to change the imperial doctor, and the pulse must be submitted to the emperor again..."
Brother Jiu thought it was too troublesome and said, "Okay, let's not change it for now. But if you are confident, just two or three injections will be enough. If it takes longer, I would rather change it."
The imperial doctor hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Master Jiu, three times is enough..."
Brother Jiu made no movement and his eyelids became heavy.
By the time the imperial doctor's forehead was dripping with sweat, Brother Jiu was already snoring.
Shu Shu and the imperial doctor went to the main room to talk.
The imperial doctor ordered: "It's better to wake up before the second watch, soak your feet, and go to bed after the second watch. Otherwise, you won't get enough sleep. If you wake up at the third watch, you will still be tired tomorrow..."
Shu Shu noted down that the imperial doctor prescribed the prescription.
Shu Shu motioned to Walnut and handed over double the tea money and two bags of tea snacks, and asked He Yuzhu to send them out.
It's time for dinner.
When the imperial doctor came out of the fifth hospital, he remembered what his colleagues had said about Jiu Age and Jiu Fujin.
Jiufu Jin was erudite and memorized, and he was familiar with medical books.
The ninth elder brother doted on his concubine and young son, and was quite squeamish.
That's really the case.
Also, Jiu Fujin is as generous as people say, while Jiu Age is more considerate and does not make things difficult for others...
*
Changchun Garden, northwest extension building.
Concubine Hui got the news and knew that the Holy Emperor was coming. She asked someone to give a reward to the eunuch who sent the message. She was puzzled.
Why did you think of coming here?
There is no news about the brand flipping, it should be a temporary move.
But if I really want to talk to someone, shouldn't it be a young favorite concubine or Concubine Yi?
It’s for Dafujin’s selection...
She always acted cautiously in the garden, and was not the type to pry around. She didn't know about the third elder brother's detention, so she thought about the elder brother's selection of a successor.
When the sound of whips was heard outside, Concubine Hui led the eunuchs and palace servants to greet him downstairs.
Kangxi sat on the chariot, walking from far to near.
When he arrived, he got off the chariot and looked at Concubine Hui.
He looked at Concubine Hui doing the squatting ceremony. She was wearing bamboo-green regular clothes that were not old yet, with a plain diamond on her head, and only a piece of jasper flower with the word "Fu" on it.
Kangxi personally helped Concubine Hui up and said: "This is too plain..."
Having said this, he took a closer look at Concubine Hui's clothes and said, "Why do I remember that you wore these clothes a few years ago..."
Concubine Hui smiled and said, "It's not the same one anymore, and the material is different. I have a problem that started when I was young. I don't know what color clothes I like. How many years will it take to wear them?"
Mentioning this, Kangxi also had some impressions and nodded: "I remembered that when you were young, you loved green clothes, willow green, bean green, pine and cypress green..."
Concubine Hui smiled and nodded.
That is, this kind of love is not just love, it is love after entering the palace.
At that time, she had just entered the palace and was the last princess, followed by Xiao Fujin, Da Princess, Fujin and the Queen.
Teenage women, everyone loves to be popular and beautiful.
When it was Concubine Hui's turn, only green, cyan, and blue materials were left.
From time to time, she is used to wearing green.
After welcoming the holy driver into the room, Concubine Hui served her red date tea.
Kangxi looked at the floating red dates inside and said, "This is what you liked to drink when you were young."
Concubine Hui sat next to her and said, "If you get used to it, you won't like to change it."
When a woman goes through menstruation, she loses her Qi and blood.
Because of the low grade, my parents' family used red date tea to replenish blood energy.
Kangxi also recalled that time, when everyone was still in their teens.
Although Concubine Hui did not stay in the palace for many years like Concubine Rong, she was still the most senior among the concubines.
At that time, Empress Xiaozhao and Empress Xiaoyi had not yet entered the palace, and Concubine Yi and Concubine De had not yet been drafted. There were Empress Yuan, Concubine Rong, Concubine Hui, and Concubine Duan in the palace...
He has already taken charge of the government, but the princes of the Lower Five Banners are powerful, and the Three Feudatories have not yet begun to fight, and there are already signs of rebellion.
Everyone inside and outside the palace is looking forward to the arrival of the prince's elder brother.
At the beginning, it was very smooth, with good news coming one after another for the prince and princess, and then there was tragedy one after another.
Many people outside used this matter to criticize the imperial court and him as the emperor.
Kangxi looked at Concubine Hui and said, "If Chengqing was still here, it would be thirty-one this year..."
This is talking about Concubine Hui’s eldest son, elder brother’s brother, Chengqing’s elder brother who died in infancy, and was born in the ninth year of Kangxi’s reign.
After hearing this, Concubine Hui steadied her hand holding the cup, looked at Kangxi, and said: "The thing I am most grateful for is that the emperor kept Baoqing outside the palace. Otherwise, I would never dare to think..."
Kangxi sighed and said, "It was my negligence and I didn't ask anyone to take good care of Chengqing."
Concubine Hui shook her head and said: "How can you blame the emperor? At that time, the palace was full of people, and there was smallpox and epidemics, which continued year after year..."
At this point, she looked at Kangxi with admiration and said: "I don't understand the truth, but the emperor promoted the 'vaccination' and made the capital no longer worried about smallpox. He is a saint in this world."
Kangxi shook his head and said: "Pox vaccines are expensive, and ordinary people cannot afford to vaccinate them. Even if they are vaccinated, three or four people out of a hundred people will lose their lives. Rich people cherish their lives, so they save their luck and plan to vaccinate them again in the year of acne." , so just under the capital city, less than half of the people have been vaccinated, let alone outside the capital city."
Concubine Hui didn't know what to say, so she only said: "Just look at the palace, and the subsequent princes and daughters have established themselves, and you will know that the emperor's merits are comparable to those of a Bodhisattva. If those outside believe in the emperor, they will naturally get the emperor's blessing. If you are stubborn and don't believe it, Yes, just let them be."
Kangxi was silent.
In the early years, some princes and princesses suffered from smallpox, but none suffered from acne.
Kangxi looked at Concubine Hui, feeling a little depressed and said: "Concubine Rong lost four sons..."
Concubine Hui looked at Kangxi. He was so clueless. How could he answer the question?
Shouldn't these words of pity for Concubine Rong be said to Concubine Rong?
The fourth concubine, together with the deceased Empress Xiaoyi and Concubine Wenxi, all gave birth to children.
Even the deposed concubine Dong had suffered a loss from Princess in her early years.
However, among everyone, Concubine Rong was indeed the worse off.
Concubine Hui sighed and said: "It was frightening to see it at the time. Except for the elder brother Changhua who was weak and died on the day he landed, the other three elder brothers were all three or four years old. They were running around and screaming. Mother, it’s like ripping out one’s heart... If it were anyone else, it would not be a good thing to give birth one after another. But with Sister Rong Fei, it would be a life saver. If it weren’t for the second princess and the third brother holding hands, Sister Rong Fei I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to get through it back then…”
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but feel moved.
Among the four concubines, she gave birth the least, and in her early years there were people who gossiped behind her.
Concubine Hui was overjoyed.
Being pregnant for ten months and losing a child once is almost the same as Ling Chi. Anyone who has experienced it knows that one time is enough.
Kangxi listened and fell into memories.
The eldest son of Concubine Rong died at the age of four. He was the real eldest son of the emperor. What was the cause of death?
Before the Dragon Boat Festival, he was stung by a poisonous insect and died of high fever.
Concubine Rong's second son was also four years old when he died. He contracted the epidemic in spring and died of convulsions.
The fourth son of Concubine Rong died of chickenpox and high fever when he was three years old.
Kangxi sighed: "I am not a good Ama..."
Concubine Hui hurriedly said: "How can this be blamed on the emperor? It's not like the royal family. In those years, ordinary people in the royal palace outside the palace also had children one after another. The solar terms were also wrong. It was too cold to scare people. Not only the children couldn't bear it. In the past, older people also walked more. My concubine’s Mafa and grandma both left at that time. They have gradually gotten better over the years. I remember clearly that it snowed in the winter, and the door was blocked and the snow piled up. It can reach the top of the thigh, but not so much now..."
Because Kangxi had been investigating the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the past two years, he thought a little too much when he recalled that the prince and princess were unable to stand up, and made various speculations.
Suspicious of the remnants of the previous dynasty, suspicious of the old members of the Dorgon and Dodo brothers...suspicious of the Hesheli family and the Tong family...
This year, his suspicion also fell on the fourth concubine, and he wanted to find out more.
Hearing Concubine Hui mention the weather, Kangxi couldn't help but think deeply.
As Concubine Hui said, the climate back then was different from now.
It is extremely cold and the snow is extremely heavy. Every winter, Shuntian Prefecture sends out government officials to go to the streets to remind people to clear the snow. Otherwise, a heavy snowfall can collapse hundreds of houses...
