Chapter 1968 New Yamen (asking for guaranteed monthly ticket)
Prince Gong's Palace.
At noon, Prince Gong served new dishes.
Everything else was fine, but the pumpkin flower dish caught Prince Gong's eye.
"Eating this, the color looks good, the taste is good, and I feel refreshed..."
When they went down to the dining table, Prince Gong started talking to his second wife.
No wonder people say the food in Prince's Mansion is exquisite. Who outside would think of using pumpkin flowers in cooking?
This flower is a pumpkin. How much of a spendthrift person would eat it like this?
Prince Gong's successor wife said, "The Ninth Prince is a sincere man. He sent over half a basket of various rare dishes. He was also worried that the prince would not have enough to eat, so he said that he would start sending over full baskets later."
Prince Gong said: "It's strange, the Fifth Prince and the Ninth Prince are both simple-minded. Could it be that Concubine Yi is also of this character?"
These princes from the royal family naturally cannot get along with the concubines in the palace.
Prince Gong's successor wife often saw Concubine Yi in his early years.
Before the Crown Princess entered the palace, the Four Concubines were in charge of palace affairs and had many opportunities to meet the wives of royal family members.
Prince Gong's successor wife thought about Concubine Yi's behavior and nodded, saying, "Concubine Yi may be harsh with her words, but she has been in charge of the six western palaces for more than ten years and has never been known to be mean. She is said to be the most favored, but over the years, there has been a constant stream of princes and princesses born to concubines in the Yikun Palace..."
After hearing this, Prince Gong understood roughly what Concubine Yi was doing.
"No wonder the emperor has always been so kind to the weak, and Concubine Yi is so lenient..."
The news in the palace is roughly known to people outside.
Among the four senior concubines, Rongpin did not treat the Seventh Prince attentively in his early years, which led to the Seventh Prince's biological mother moving to the palace later; as for Defei, there was also the matter of the Fifteenth Prince being adopted into the Yuqing Palace, which was also a mistake if it was brought up again.
Only Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi had been in the palace for decades and in the position of principal for more than 20 years, and there had never been any news of anything inappropriate happening to them.
Prince Gong's successor wife said, "What was the reputation of the Ninth Prince in the past, and what is his reputation now? Even if the Ninth Prince is a good person, who knows? When the prince mentioned the Ninth Prince in the past, didn't he also say that he was the youngest son of a concubine, arrogant and dissolute?"
Prince Gong snorted and said, "That's because the Ninth Prince was naughty in the study room and unruly in front of others. It's strange that he has a good reputation."
Prince Gong's successor said, "There are those who have a good reputation, but they cannot help but think carefully before they act."
Prince Gong asked, "Why did I offend you again?"
Prince Gong's successor wife said: "I just think there are too many fools..."
Prince Gong knew that this was referring to Manchu Protector.
Man Du Hu was the son-in-law of the Dong E family, but he was not close to the Third Prince and the Ninth Prince. Instead, he was closer to the Eighth Prince.
Who outside doesn't know that the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince don't get along?
Mandu Hu was close to the Eighth Prince, so the Ninth Prince naturally didn't want to bother with Mandu Hu.
But what about the Eighth Prince's service as the Protector General?
Both he and his brother fell ill in the first month of the year. The eighth prince visited Prince Gong's residence once and went to Prince Yu's residence three or five times.
Not to mention the relationship between uncle and nephew, if he really valued Mandu Hu, he would not do so.
This is just the fickleness of human nature.
Although they are also good friends with their cousins, the Eighth Prince has a closer relationship with Baotai. Besides the fact that they are of similar age, Baotai is the crown prince while Mandu Hu is only a general guarding the country.
Prince Gong said: "It seems that our family has really gone downhill. Even a thoughtful person like the Eighth Prince has started to be inconsiderate."
He looked at his wife and thought about his son who died young, and he felt indescribable pain in his heart.
Who is not afraid of death?
If he dies, everything will be over. What will happen to Fu Jin and Lao Liu?
Several sons have biological mothers.
The sixth child was not yet an adult. When he was born, the emperor told him directly that he would not confer a title on him.
Prince Gong also understood that the emperor was already being generous.
If we really confer the title of Prince Six, there might be more trouble.
Among the four adult illegitimate sons, Mandu Hu was mediocre and not someone who could support the family.
Dong E did not have the responsibility of the eldest daughter-in-law and sister-in-law. She would just hide when encountering problems and was not very close to Mrs. Fujin.
It’s okay for Fu Jin, as she has the status of the legitimate mother, so no matter which son inherits the title, she must observe filial piety.
What should Lao Liu do?
My outside family is a sinner and I have no brothers or sisters from the same mother to help me.
He still had to hold on for another two years. Next year would be the year for the selection of concubines for the Eight Banners. He planned to ask the Queen Mother to choose a reliable Yue family for his youngest son. By then, even if he was an idle member of the royal family, he would have the Yue family to protect him, and he would feel half relieved...

By the time dinner came, the emperor had received the news.
I knew that the three princes who were accompanying the emperor had gone to Prince Gong's mansion to pay their respects, and I also knew that the Ninth Prince had brought some delicious vegetables to Prince Gong at noon.
Kangxi was a little surprised and asked, "Only Prince Gong's Palace was given, what about Prince Yu's Palace?"
This son says he is stingy, but he is actually the most generous.
There was also a generous and thoughtful wife behind her. She usually sent gifts and wished that they were delivered to every household.
Just talking about cousins and elders, whenever there are Prince Yu’s Mansion and Prince Gong’s Mansion, Prince Chun’s Mansion and Prince Zhuang’s Mansion will never be left out.
Prince Chun's wife had been a widow for many years, and apart from the palace, she seldom socialized with her clan members. Needless to say, in Prince Zhuang's mansion, Prince Zhuang never had a good face when he saw the Ninth Prince, and the Ninth Prince usually avoided Prince Zhuang.
Even so, the things sent by the Ninth Prince's Mansion were not left out of the other two mansions.
There is a Consort in Prince Zhuang's mansion, and it is only right to show more respect to the elders in the royal family, especially the close relatives.
Prince Chun's wife was lonely and poor, but she was treated with respect, which showed that the couple had kind hearts.
Such a thoughtful person, he sent food to both his uncle and aunt's families, but only sent food to one of them?
Zhao Chang said: "I didn't see anyone go there."
Kangxi raised his eyebrows.
There is an art to giving gifts.
Whether the other party has it or not is not a reason to give or not.
All we can say is that the Ninth Prince acts on impulse and does not think things through carefully.
He wanted to scold his son again.
but……
He waved his hand to send Zhao Chang away, pondered for a moment, and then ordered Liang Jiugong, "Go get Prince Gong's pulse record."
Liang Jiugong went downstairs in response, and after a while, he returned with Prince Gong's pulse case.
Kangxi opened it and read it carefully.
At the end of the month, Prince Gong suffered from insomnia and physical weakness. Later, evil wind entered his body and caused a high fever, so he used a prescription to clear away heat and reduce fever.
Afterwards, the high fever subsided and the patient was diagnosed with diabetes, with symptoms of frequent urination, constipation, and restlessness.
The imperial physician prescribed a prescription for quenching thirst, the main ingredients of which were coptis root and radix rehmanniae, which were mainly intended to clear away heat, moisten the lungs, promote the production of body fluids and quench thirst.
The result is still that it invades the eyes and feet, and there is no control effect.
The imperial physician also prescribed Liuwei Dihuang Pills to nourish the kidney yin, which worked. The frequent urination and dry lips improved slightly, but the constipation and fever were still there.
Because Prince Gong couldn't sleep at night, he was given a prescription to calm the nerves and promote sleep.
In addition to the two prescriptions, there are many other doctor's instructions, all of which require dietary restrictions.
Kangxi then knew why the Ninth Prince sent the food.
This should be the person from Prince Gong's Mansion who spoke.
He closed the pulse record and thought about Prince Gong's actions, and became a little worried.
The one who was worried was not Prince Gong, but the Ninth Prince.
Prince Gong has been lazy and inactive since he was a child.
When I grew up, I liked fishing too.
Sitting for a long time will damage your kidneys.
From the 26th year on, there was no more crying of babies in Prince Gong’s Mansion.
At that time, Prince Gong was only in his thirties.
This is also because in the early years, he did not discriminate between meat and vegetables and had many concubines.
Also, Prince Yu’s serious illness this time is also related to his excessive sexual activity.
Kangxi shook his head and thought of the Ninth Prince and then his other sons.
Fortunately, there is nothing too dark, so I don’t have to worry about it...

The next morning, the Ninth Prince got up early.
The mended clothes were ironed and hung yesterday.
It's not because it's the first day to go to the Lifanyuan that he is so solemn, but because tomorrow is the Emperor's birthday festival and he has to be prepared for the emperor's summons.
Shushu looked at the two court bead boxes next to her, one containing coral court beads and the other containing amber court beads.
"Which one do you want to wear?" she asked.
The Ninth Prince took a look and said, "I want the one at the back. There must be quite a few people wearing coral today."
Shushu put away the coral court beads, took out the amber court beads, put them on the Ninth Prince, and helped the Ninth Prince adjust his hat.
The Ninth Prince reached out and hugged Shushu's waist, saying, "My Lord is truly blessed..."
Not to mention other people's families, just look at the fifth brother and the tenth brother's families, they both have things that make people worry, but I don't.
Shu Shu raised his head and said, "Hello, Master. Good luck is coming."
The Ninth Prince shook his head, hooked his fingers, put his face close to Shushu, and whispered in her ear: "No, it's because you are here that my blessing has come..."
Shushu didn't feel happy after hearing this.
The tree catches the wind.
Her birthday was indeed a coincidence.
The children are already "auspicious", and if you become "blessed", you will easily be criticized.
She hurriedly said, "Sir, please don't say this outside. It's too eye-catching."
When the time comes, if someone uses her birthday to talk nonsense, she might end up throwing a bucket of dirty water at them.
Having no ambition is also said to be ambitious.
The Ninth Prince said, "Don't worry, the real treasure must be hidden well. I am not a fool."
This is also the reason why when he revised the list for the Wanshou Festival, he did not change Fu Jin's list.
He loved to brag about his wife in public, but he only praised her character and behavior, not her talents and abilities.
Just to prevent someone from talking about Fu Jin.
As for Khan Ama, he likes women who are quiet and virtuous, and does not like women who are ostentatious.
Just look at the education of the princesses in the palace today and the selection of these royal wives, virtuousness and gentleness are indispensable.
After the couple had breakfast, the Ninth Prince went forward.
The tenth prince also wore a patched robe and a string of agarwood court beads.
The Ninth Prince was disgusted when he saw it and said, "Why do you wear this imperial bead with it? It's too old-fashioned."
The tenth prince smiled and said, "This was given to me by my ninth brother!"
Brother Ninth: "..."
It does look familiar.
After the two brothers got on the carriage, the Ninth Prince mentioned yesterday's visit to Prince Gong's Mansion.
"Once you have diabetes, you can only take care of it but cannot cure it. It's very troublesome. When I came back yesterday, I started to worry about my fifth brother. I also thought about my younger brother and his wife. Now that you are young, you don't have to worry about anything. But in a few years, if you are still this fat, you will get sick again. You will suffer then..."
The Tenth Prince nodded and said, "Yes, this disease is not good. If you get it, you have to avoid certain foods and move more. It's very tiring."
"If you're not sick, take precautions. I asked Gui Dan to copy a recipe for losing weight. I'll give one to Fifth Brother and one to you. Keep an eye on my sister-in-law..."
Brother Ninth said.
The Tenth Prince said, "Well, I'll listen to the Ninth Prince..."
He is very satisfied with his current life, with his legitimate wife and son.
Even though Fu Jin was not very capable, she was obedient and Yue family didn't have to worry about her.
When they arrived at Qipan Street, the Tenth Prince got off the car, but the Ninth Prince did not.
The Lifanyuan Yamen is not on this side. It is in the southeast corner of the imperial city, half a mile away from Qipan Street.
After a while, the carriage arrived outside the Lifanyuan Yamen and the Ninth Prince got off the carriage.
The Lifanyuan Yamen was much smaller than the six ministries and had few buildings inside.
In addition to a large yard, there are several small yards next to it.
The Ninth Prince brought He Yuzhu and stood in the yard, looking around.
There was still a quarter of an hour left and almost all the officials had arrived.
Some people have seen the Ninth Prince, while others have not. However, with this patched robe and the yellow belt, no one would make a mistake in recognizing him.
"I, Guan Zhu, the doctor of the Guest Department, greet Master Jiu..."
"I, the servant of the Rouyuan Division, Luo Bu, greet you, Master Jiu..."
"Slave..."
Everyone came forward and bowed to greet him.
The Ninth Prince heard the noisy situation but found something different from the Ministry of Revenue.
How come they are all “slaves” and not even a single “minister”…
The Fifth Prince also came on time. As soon as he entered the yamen, he heard the noise inside and could not help but quicken his pace.
"Alright, alright, let's go first..."
The Fifth Prince said.
He knew that his brother didn't like to remember people, and with such a mess of people coming up, he would definitely not be able to remember any of them.
Later, he would still take the lead and meet the doctors under him. He didn't need to remember all of them...
