Brother Jiu thought that the concubine was also seriously ill, so he felt relieved when he heard about Xiaoyaowan. This is a prescription that can cure minor ailments.
They are also prepared here at the Prince's Mansion. It's just that it soothes the liver and regulates qi... and the concubine is not very comfortable if she moves to the Qian Palace.
That's normal. He and the concubine obviously came from behind. That is to say, she is not pregnant, otherwise she will be ranked ahead of the good concubine.
Brother Jiu's letter passed through the Ministry of War and reached the imperial court in two days. *On this day, the third day of August, it happened to be that the Holy Spirit was marching around and hunting a bear with his musket, and he was in a good mood.
It is an adult black bear, eight feet tall and weighing more than two hundred kilograms. The musket shot directly into the bear's eye, leaving its fur intact.
It is not uncommon to hunt bears, but it is also difficult to achieve such results. Kangxi also showed a bit of pride and complacency.
"This bear skin is concocted and sent back to Ningshou Palace. Two bear paws are divided to reward Yuqing Palace, one is rewarded to the Ninth Prince's Mansion, and one is rewarded to Prince Yu's Mansion..." Kangxi ordered Liang Jiugong.
Since the Battle of Ulan Butong, the relationship between Kangxi and Prince Yu has been estranged. In the past two years, Kangxi saw his sons' brothers and sisters happy, and he also thought of the days when the brothers shared joys and sorrows in the palace, and he began to feel nostalgic.
Liang Jiugong agreed and went down to deliver the message. In addition to the 15th and 16th princes, the princes in the retinue also had their own captures, but they didn't have the big ones, so they couldn't compare with Kangxi's record.
The Fourteenth Brother looked at the two rabbits he had shot, and said to the Thirteenth Brother through gritted teeth: "Didn't I say that we would encounter tigers on the road? How come we have been out for several days and we haven't encountered one yet?" The Thirteenth Brother felt the same as he touched the bow and arrow. Still unfinished, there were many people but few animals, so he only caught one pheasant here.
This is a small hill on the way to the patrol, not a large paddock, and naturally there are not many big beasts for everyone to hunt.
This year's patrol route outside the Great Wall was due north, not the direction of Mulan Paddock, so even if there were sieges along the way, they would be small-scale.
The thirteenth elder brother said: "Wait until the winter moon, Nanyuan paddock, there will be many wild animals." The fourteenth elder brother said helplessly: "That's the only way." Most of the other princes' elder brothers accompanying him had seen the world. I have participated in many parades, so I have no obsession with this matter.
Returning to the camp in the afternoon, Kangxi saw the folders and letters sent by the Ministry of War. The first thing he read was the ministry document, which contained abbreviations and the prince's draft approval.
His expression became solemn, and he looked at the prince's handwriting with an incomprehensible expression. He read through all the notes, and his face lost the complacency of hunting a bear, only to be a little cold.
This is the prince he taught step by step. Handle government affairs with care and consideration. There was nothing he wanted to change.
He held the imperial pen and his hand shook again. The prince has grown up, and he has been able to take charge of the country by himself again and again.
Kangxi finished approving the papers, took a breath, and then read the private message below. The one placed at the top is Brother Jiu's letter.
A thick letter. Kangxi shook his head, opened it with a bit of disdain, and watched Brother Jiu describe the situation in the palace in detail these past few days.
In the second half of the story, I mentioned Concubine Tong's transmission to the imperial physician, and the Crown Princess's transmission, and so on. Kangxi saw
After the word "Tong", he was silent for a long time. He didn't deal with Brother Ninth Brother's letter immediately, but opened a box at the bottom.
The box is locked. This is a secret secret. There is only one person in the palace who is qualified to deliver the secret secret to the emperor, and that is Zhao Chang, the deputy chief eunuch of Qianqing Palace.
Kangxi glanced at Wei Zhu, who stepped back, then took a key and presented it. Kangxi opened the box and opened the secret fold inside.
There are two things mentioned in it. The first one is that twenty people were vaccinated with cowpox vaccine, and all of them had developed flowers. Seven of them had high fever and 13 of them had low fever, and all of them were cured.
The second thing is that Concubine Tong from Yongshou Palace passed on the imperial physician three times. The first imperial physician was an old man from Yongshou Palace, who was often respected by the Tong family. There were visitors from Shengjing at home a while ago.
Kangxi was not happy when he saw the front. At present, the vaccine trial is only halfway through. The next round of trials will be done with smallpox to see if the vaccine can prevent smallpox. Only then will the effectiveness be known.
When he saw the back, his eyes were filled with clouds. Taiyin Hospital...Although he had known for a long time that the influence of several descendants in the palace would not be limited to dressing up, but joining Taiyin Hospital was against his will.
He glanced at Ninth Brother's letter and did not reply immediately. Instead, he picked up a pen and wrote a few words on the secret envelope for Zhao Chang.
After he finished writing the letter and asked someone to deliver it, there was movement at the door. It's the Eighth Prince who's here. Please see him outside... *The Ninth Prince's Mansion in the capital.
The birthday gifts of the doctor of the Shenxing Division and the chief of the imperial dining room were announced, and the birthday gifts of the doctors and chiefs of the other departments also arrived one after another.
Then came the cousins. Shu Shu also prepared a birthday gift with Brother Jiu, a belt and a pair of purses.
Shu Shu's embroidery skills were sparse, so she used her strengths to avoid weaknesses and chose bead embroidery. Coral beads were used, and a black belt with five blessings and longevity was sewn on, and a pair of tapestry gourd purses.
Subsequently, the Ninth Prince's Mansion also began to send Mid-Autumn Festival gifts everywhere. In addition to the Baiweizhai mooncake gift box, there is also the Baiweiju braised pork gift box, and then there are live pigs and chickens, as well as watermelons and grapes.
It looks very decent, but each family's Mid-Autumn Festival gifts are limited to forty taels of silver. Basically they are produced by themselves, and the actual price is lower.
"From now on, when we perform rituals on festivals, we should follow this rule. Let's talk about favors..." This is Brother Jiu's decision.
There are really too many places to give gifts, and even if they come and go, it’s still a burden.
"It's so affordable for us to give this as a gift. Even those antique furnishings and the like are of no use sending them back and forth." Brother Jiu said.
Shu Shu had no objection. The big pleats are fine, and the rest can be finely adjusted. There are quite a few people who have friendly relations with Brother Jiu, and this year there are more people like the Cao family.
Shu Shu did not forget about the palace. When he entered the palace to pay his respects on the tenth day of the lunar month, he brought two boxes of moon cakes, one to honor Ningshou Palace and one to honor Yikun Palace.
The mooncakes of Ningshou Palace are filled with fresh meat and milk skin; the mooncakes of Yikun Palace are filled with lotus paste, egg yolk and black sesame.
Ningshou Palace and Yikun Palace also presented mooncakes. Ningshou Palace presented large jujube paste mooncakes weighing one pound each; Yikun Palace presented small homemade red mooncakes.
Jiugege's dowry booklet was also brought back. The Queen Mother was very satisfied and there was nothing to add or subtract.
After returning from the palace, Shu Shu calculated the location of the Holy Driver. It should be halfway through the journey and half a month out of the capital.
Brother Jiu had previously proposed to deliver moon cakes to the imperial court, but Shu Shu stopped him. In the future, he would eat less when offering moon cakes to the imperial palace.
If there is an incident of a dead eagle, you will know how to present something to the emperor, but it is not guaranteed. It's okay now, who knows what will happen in the future?
From now on, it is better to use money and daily necessities, eat less food, and avoid living animals. But in front of the ninth elder brother, Shu Shu couldn't say this, so he only said: "It's enough for me to pay filial piety in private several times a year. I'll leave some exposure to other princes and elder brothers. There's no need to dazzle me. Yuqing Palace I'm sending mooncakes to the emperor." Brother Ninth always listened to the advice and had no intention of competing with the prince. He just felt it was strange and said: "In the past two years, Khan Ama has been on patrol, and the letters to the emperor have been returned very quickly. This time I sent ten It's late, but there's no reply yet." Maybe it was time for the festival, so there was no further call from the imperial doctor from Yongshou Palace.
But no one knows whether the disease is getting better or worse. Shu Shu said: "She shouldn't be seriously ill. It's hard for me to inquire about the inner court news. The Crown Princess will pay attention to it." Everything in the Queen Mother's Palace was as usual today. If Concubine Tong was seriously ill, the atmosphere would not be like this.
Brother Jiu thought for a moment and said, "I guess Khan Ama really wants the Tong family to return to Beijing. Otherwise, he should have replied long ago." Shu Shu thought of Longkodo.
Such an awesome person was sent to Shengjing for a year and a half before he officially entered the stage of power. Is he coming back?
While the couple was talking, there was movement outside. It was the twelfth prince who sent his attendants. It’s really easy to say.
Kangxi replied, and Nan Shufang sent the letter to the Ministry of Internal Affairs this afternoon. The ninth elder brother had returned early, and the twelfth elder brother sent the eunuch next to him to deliver the letter.
The ninth elder brother asked someone to reward him with silver, and Shu Shu asked someone to pack two boxes of moon cakes for the twelfth elder brother to take. In Kangxi's reply, he ordered one thing, asking the ninth prince to come out of the official room on one or five days in the imperial city and ask for repairs.
Brother Ninth felt a toothache, handed the letter to Shu Shu, and hummed: "Concubine Tong's illness is really not in vain, the Tong family is coming back..." Shu Shu looked at it, frowned and said: "What if it really happened? Jiu Gege will be embarrassed when we come home." The renovated Princess Mansion is the two-bedroom old house of the Tong family.
Jiugege’s wedding date is also in September. After hearing this, Brother Jiu's heart moved. He took the letter back and read it again, and said, "It's probably not the whole family returning to Beijing. It's probably Longkodo..." Shun Anyan probably wouldn't call him back. After all, he had been with him before. Jiugege was discussing the matter of marriage, and his status was embarrassing. The emperor's father would not let him return to Beijing at this time to cause trouble.
Tong Guowei probably wouldn't let him come back, otherwise he would not have entered the house five times, but would have chosen another official residence.
Otherwise, how would generations of people, old and young, be able to live in the house? If someone comes back, the uncle's identity and dignity will still be given to him.
The former second bedroom of the Tong family and the current Princess Mansion are three ways to enter the house. It can be directly replaced by a five-bedroom house with a hundred or ten people, which is uninhabitable.
Brother Jiu didn't like the Tong family and complained to Shu Shu: "This Longkodo is also proud. He became a first-class bodyguard as soon as he became a young man. In a few years, he became a second-class Luan Yishi. He showed off his uncle's profile in front of us. Come on, look up." Shu Shu listened, noncommittal, but also complained in her heart.
He made the right bet. The old man of the Tong family bet on the eighth elder brother, and Longkoduo bet on the fourth elder brother. The bet turned out to be right. When we arrived at Dong E's house, the three heads of houses bet on three houses, but they all lost, and they were speechless.
The next day, the ninth elder brother arrived at the Yamen of the House of Internal Affairs and handed over the matter of finding a room to the twelfth elder brother and said: "Select a larger one, determine the location, and ask the construction department to repair it..." At this point, his face changed. With a bad smile on his face, he said: "It's best to be somewhere close to the Baoyi Banner Camp, where the public security is good..." When the crowds are crowded, will the Tong family be able to make a huge difference?
The movement is all in Bao Yi's eyes, and by then there will be many more stories in the teahouse in the imperial city...* There are only two updates left, and I counted six updates. There are still many alliance leaders to add, so I will try my best to make up for it.
Thank you everyone for your monthly votes and rewards. The next update will be at 12 noon on May 19th. Welcome to the Qidian app.
