Seeing that Shu Shu stopped talking, Brother Jiu smiled.
"Do you take the rumors outside seriously? The royal love saint is all fake..." Brother Jiu said.
Shu Shu said: "I just think it's a little strange to go to Wutai Mountain with the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager was over seventy at the time." Brother Jiu thought for a moment and said, "I remember those years when Khan Ama served the Empress Dowager I have been to many places, and I still went to Gubeikou for summer vacation. It may not have been for other reasons. That year, the Empress Dowager was seventy-two years old. The old lady had believed in Buddhism all her life. Maybe she just wanted to pray for blessings at Mount Wutai? "There is an old saying among the people, seventy-three or eighty-four, the king of hell will not ask you to go.
For older people, these two ages are more taboo and they will prepare in advance. Shu Shu said: "What I said makes sense. People outside are just trying to catch wind and shadows. There is no real secret that can be spread. What everyone can talk about is either not a secret or made up..." Jiu'a Brother nodded and said: "Yes, if it really involves royal secrets, even if someone notices the clues, they will only think that they are mute. If they don't know anything, how can they dare to tell others..." Shu Shu is the daughter of the Dong E family. In the early years, I also heard Luo Shi mention Queen Xiaoxian to Mrs. Bo.
It is said outside that the Empress Dowager is not happy and that Emperor Shizu only favors her, but this is actually not true. It is true that the Empress Dowager was not happy, because the Empress Dowager allowed Mongolian concubines to enter the palace. Her original intention was to continue the Manchu-Mongolian marriage just like the Taizong Dynasty.
But at that time, the Eight Banners had already entered the pass, and the Eight Banners were the main force to pacify the world. Emperor Shizu wanted to suppress the Mongolian concubines at that time and wanted to marry the Dong E family into the palace as a wife.
At that time, there were rumors that the imperial concubines of the East and West Palaces would be included. The Dong E family was only the concubine of the West Palace, and there was another concubine of the East Palace, Kong Sizhen, who was ranked above the Dong E family.
This Kong Sizhen was the daughter of Kong Youde, King of Dingnan. After King Dingnan died, Kong Sizhen was taken into the palace by the Empress Dowager.
Later, for some unknown reason, Kong Sizhen did not become the imperial concubine of the East Palace, but became the adopted daughter of the Empress Dowager. She was named Heshuogege, married into her father's old tribe, and returned to the south.
During the San Francisco Rebellion, her husband and son were gone, and she herself was placed under house arrest in Guilin by Wu Sangui. After the San Francisco Rebellion was put down, she returned to the capital to retire. The princess's residence was located in the imperial palace outside Xihua Gate.
Brother Jiu also thought of the old princess and said: "The daughter of meritorious service is also pitiful. She is almost 70 years old and has no children or grandchildren. She lives alone in the imperial city. Now the supplies are all paid by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. ..." Shu Shu thought of two masterpieces written by a certain aunt in later generations.
One is Crescent Moon Princess and the other is Little Sparrow Princess. The heroine settings all have the shadow of the righteous daughter of the Empress Dowager.
I didn't think so at the time, but now that I know the old princess's life, Shu Shu also wants to
"Bah". Family rumors are indeed the most untrustworthy things... *Beijing No. 4 Institute currently houses the Thirteenth Brother and his wife.
Although moving does not require the owner to do it himself, it does consume energy. Thirteenth Fujin was still a bride, and she wanted to do everything by herself, but she was also a little tired.
When Brother Thirteen came back, Thirteen Fujin was lying on his side, closing his eyes to recuperate. The thirteenth elder brother sat by the kang.
Thirteen Fujin noticed something. He opened his eyes and saw that he was back. He smiled and sat up.
"Feeling tired after waking up early? Then just catch up on some sleep. No one else is around. How can you be more comfortable..." Thirteenth Brother said.
Thirteenth Fujin shook his head and said, "Fortunately, I'm over the sleepiness." The princes who came with him this morning were from the Sixth Family. The eldest brother, the third brother, and the fourth brother all lived in the fifth house in the south; the seventh prince, The thirteenth elder brother and the ninth elder brother are in Beiliusuo.
There is also a fourteenth brother who jumped alone, this time he is still in Nanwu. It's close to where I study.
Thirteen Fujin said: "We are here. When should I visit the two sisters-in-law?" The three families all live in the courtyard here. From now on, we will not see each other without looking up. They are young, so they must be polite.
Brother Thirteen said: "Don't worry, I'll send someone this afternoon to see if my sisters-in-law are free tomorrow. Sister-in-law Seven is cheerful and Sister-in-law Ninth is kind and considerate. Both sisters-in-law are very good to deal with." Thirteen Fujin thought. Looking at the empty Third and Sixth Houses, he said: "This prince is coming to Haidian. What is the arrangement of this courtyard? The Sixth House belongs to the Tenth Master. Does the Three Houses belong to the Twelfth Master and the others, or to Ba Beile?" The Thirteenth Brother shook his head and said: "There is no rule that which courtyard will be given to which family, but this is close to the North Garden, so the Fifth Brother and the Fifth Sister-in-law will definitely live here. The Tenth Sister-in-law will also live here in order to facilitate the concubine's greetings." This is the side; the Ninth Brother and the Tenth Brother Meng Buju are focused on this side; the Seventh Sister-in-law, the Fifth Sister-in-law, and the Ninth Sister-in-law all have a good relationship and are happy to live here..." This fixed the four families.
This year, the Thirteenth Brother did not live in the South Fifth Residence, but chose to bring Fujin here because the sisters-in-law there are older and the sisters-in-law here are closer to each other.
Otherwise, according to the example at the beginning of the year, the thirteenth elder brother should live in South Fourth House. After hearing this, Thirteenth Fujin hesitated and said: "I saw the Holy Master moving to Haidian, and all the princes followed him. Why is it that only the Twelfth Master did not move? Is there any reason for this?" It's not that Thirteenth Fujin is bored, and he insists on it. Worry about other people's affairs.
When she was at her brother's place, she had interacted with Twelve Fujin several times. The two were similar in age and had both stayed in the palace, so they got along happily.
However, today, when moving to Haidian, she and her thirteenth brother were the only ones here, and there was no movement from Qianxi Fifth Institute, which made her feel very embarrassed.
After hearing this, the thirteenth elder brother said: "Khan Ama has been stationed in Haidian in the past few years. He has not ordered which son to follow him or which son is not allowed to come. It is all based on everyone's free will. But the twelfth elder brother came out. After the study, you can make the decision, but you haven't come here even once. Brother Ninth also persuaded him, and Brother Twelve said that it would be convenient to stay in the palace and go to the Yamen..." Although the emperor didn't say anything, he still expected his sons to follow him. , otherwise we would not have built the fifth southern institute and added the northern sixth institute.
Now the princess's residence has been built. It's just that the twelfth prince's disobedience is not just once or twice.
As the younger brother, Thirteenth Brother, it’s not easy to be verbose, otherwise it would be like teaching his brother how to do things. Thirteenth Fujin said: "It's convenient for the Twelfth Master, but what about the Twelfth Sister-in-law? When others go to pay their respects to the Imperial Grandmother, will she come or not? If she does, she will have to come from the palace alone. Come here, if you don't come, it will be too conspicuous..." Brother Thirteen said: "The Crown Princess did not come to Haidian this time, so how to greet her later, it is better to see the Crown Princess..." Anyway, they are ranked Those who stay behind will follow the steps of the brother and sister-in-law in the front, and they can't go wrong.
Thirteen Fujin nodded and said: "That's all we can do..." *North No. 2 House, main room. Qi Fujin stayed with Sangege for a while, and then sent the nanny to take Sangege to the west wing for placement.
Sangege is four years old and looks like an ordinary child, except that she is extra quiet. Only those around him know that San Gege's reactions are a bit slow. He speaks slowly and reacts slowly.
Such children, even if they grow up and get married, may not be able to make people feel at ease. The smile on Qi Fujin's face disappeared, and the corners of his mouth drooped, looking a bit frustrated.
Seeing this, the nanny persuaded: "Fu Jin is still young..." Qi Fujin smiled bitterly and said: "This house is getting more and more lively..." She was busy begging for a child last year, and even urged the seventh brother to go to Hong Kong. In Luo Temple, there was still no movement in the stomach. Instead, there was movement in the two princesses in the backyard. Among them, Nala Gege was already the fifth child.
Na La Gege was frightened. She was pitiful. While others had gained weight during pregnancy, Na La Gege had lost weight.
I gave birth to four children in the past five years, and they haven't been nursed back to health yet. Now I'm pregnant again this time. It's strange that I'm not afraid. The other princess was also uneasy. Everyone in the house knew that the legitimate son Fujin was seeking a child, but they ended up beating him to it. Not to mention being arrogant, they didn't even dare to breathe when they were in front of Qi Fujin.
Qi Fujin found it boring and had been looking forward to moving out a few years ago. There was no one else around at the moment, so she said to the nanny: "If I really can't live again, what will Sangege do? My father and I will go ahead of her..." The nanny is the most loyal, but she also knows not to be careless. Come up with ideas.
Qi Fujin's situation seems to be rock solid, but without a son, this is not good. Even if a man respects his legitimate wife, how does it compare to blood?
If Fujin doesn't have an elder brother, then in order to promote Hongshu's elder brother's status, Lord Baylor will definitely ask Fujin to be his side brother.
At that time, it was Fujin who was in a difficult situation. In fact, the best way is to imitate the princess and educate the bastards behind her.
If we find an opportunity in the future to push down the eldest son of a concubine and lift up the educated concubine, then Baylor Mansion will have another pattern.
But in that case, he would be going against Lord Baylor. I am so smart, so why don't I know that is the best way?
It's just that they don't want to do that because of the relationship between husband and wife. After Qi Fujin finished speaking, he felt a little frustrated.
Looking at Hongshu now, he looks like an honest boy, but that's because he is a concubine and she is the legitimate mother. What if Hongshu becomes the heir to the mansion in the future... Don't look at others, just look at the layout of Prince Yu's mansion.
As long as his biological mother is around, Fujin becomes the housekeeper. When the title changes, the housekeeper Fujin will have to move away. Whether the future is good or bad depends entirely on the conscience of the concubine.
Qi Fujin thought about this and became sentimental, saying: "If I really don't have a legitimate son, just let me go in front of you..." As she said this, she burst into tears.
When the time comes, it will be over, and there is no need to worry about the future of Sangege, nor to think about the bleak future of one's life.
Seeing this, Auntie Fujin hurriedly said: "Fujin is only twenty-one, why do you think about these things and reach this point? Now that they have all moved here and Jiufujin is here, Mrs. Dutong will have a mistress when she gives birth to a child." It’s ten…”
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Qi Fujin still felt uncomfortable. Thinking of the desolate scene in the future, she, who loved fun and was so strong, couldn't bear it.
After being the mistress of Baylor Mansion for several years, she was very strong and smart in public. Except after giving birth to Sangege, she had never been so weak.
She was really jealous of Na La Ge Ge! Women are all jealous, and she is no exception. She was not jealous of Na La Gege, but she was jealous of Na La Gege's body that was easy to give birth to.
Nalagge has been taking medicine to maintain his health in the past two years. The seventh prince came there only a handful of times last year, and only once when he asked for water.
As a result, it was only once that Nalagge became pregnant with her fifth child. Now it is more than four months and the pregnancy is stable.
"I am respectful and filial to Fujin and the nobles. I serve the Lord with all my heart. I am also tolerant to Princess Princess. I have never been harsh to my little brother or princess. Why did the Buddha bless everyone but not me... Wuwu... "The more Qifu Jin talked about it, the more aggrieved he became, and he couldn't help crying at the end.
When the nanny saw her like this, she burst into tears and wished she could scold the Bodhisattva together. They are all princes, Fujin, so how come other people can get the emperor's grandson from Hongluo Temple, but Fujin himself can't?
Qi Fujin cried, his face getting paler and whiter,
He spat it out with a "Wow" sound. The nanny was startled and said hurriedly: "Fujin, Fujin, what's wrong with you?" Qi Fujin felt that his body was weak, and his eyes were going dark.
The nanny hurriedly shouted: "Come here quickly, Fujin is sick..." The girls who were cleaning the house in Xicijian heard the noise and came over.
Seeing that something was not right with Qi Fujin, the nanny endured her panic and ordered: "Send someone to ask for the imperial doctor, then send someone to the garden to send a message to Lord Beile, and then go to the fifth institute to ask for Jiu Fujin..."
