Chapter 2062 Thunder and Rain
Silent all night.
Starting from the next day, the Ninth Prince was on duty in Changchun Garden and he just had to arrive on time.
Niguzhu received the second invitation.
"The prince's sister sent it to me..."
Niguzhu showed it to Shushu and said, "I haven't been to the West Garden yet. I'll pick some green apricots for Enie, Mama, and Wuku Mama to eat."
Shushu looked at the time above, April 12th.
Send the message three or four days in advance and follow the rules.
I had forgotten about the little princesses' treat before, so it seems I have to avoid going to Haidian during these days.
Niguzhu took Huijie to the back for class.
Shushu brought ginkgo, a jar of pickled radish and a jar of spicy peanuts to the princess's residence at the back.
These two are what Shushu loved to eat when she was pregnant. The former is good for appetizing and promoting digestion, while the latter is convenient to eat with rice or porridge.
Coincidentally, when Shushu was about to reach the door of the princess' residence, he ran into the Fourth Lady.
The Fourth Lady did not take a car, but walked over, followed by several people, all carrying large and small bags.
"Fourth sister-in-law..."
Shushu took a few steps forward and took the Fourth Lady's hand.
"Brothers and sisters..."
When the Fourth Lady saw her, she also smiled.
The two sisters-in-law walked into the yard hand in hand.
At this time, the Ninth Princess also received the news and went to the corridor to greet them.
The aunts and sisters-in-law entered the house and the host and guests took their seats.
The fourth lady said, "Our master got two boxes of good bird's nests and asked me to send them to the princess."
The Ninth Princess said, "Please trouble Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law to think about it. We are eating this right now and I am thinking of sending someone out to buy some."
The fourth lady said, "That's great. You are too thin. You need to eat some more."
Shushu said, "I brought two side dishes for when the princess is upset. One is sour and the other is spicy. But it would be better if they are not offensive."
Jiugege said, "I woke up early to brush my teeth. I felt nauseous and didn't dare to eat anything else. I just had half a bowl of millet porridge."
Shu Shu said, "I can't stand the smell. Change the dishes with strong smells. I'll ask someone to copy a recipe for you later and you can take turns making it."
She was pregnant twice and experienced oral sex both times.
The Fourth Lady was standing nearby, and said with lingering fear: "When I was pregnant with Honghui, my appetite was very bad. I couldn't eat meat or vegetables. The Fourth Master bought eggs, but they smelled fishy. I ate white porridge and pickled vegetables for a month..."
Shu Shu nodded and said, "Yes, I am like the fourth sister-in-law. I say that I change the menu, but in fact I drink porridge more often."
When Jiugege heard this, a look of worry appeared on her face.
The Fourth Lady said, "It's a good time for my sister to be pregnant. Fresh fruits are starting to be available. Cherries will be available soon. They are sour and sweet, and just right for eating."
Shu Shu said, "There are also green apricots, which can be eaten now. Ask someone to prepare a plate. You can eat them directly or pickled with sugar."
Jiugege's mouth was watering as she listened.
It would be better if you didn’t listen to it. After listening to it, I became extremely greedy.
She didn't care much about food, but now she wanted to eat immediately.
This feeling was very subtle. If the prince consort was there, she could still give him orders. However, since the prince consort was not there, Jiu Gege felt a little aggrieved and her eyes turned red involuntarily.
The Fourth Lady and Shushu noticed her abnormality and looked at each other.
The Fourth Lady ordered the nanny beside her, "Go to the West Garden to see the Crown Princess and ask her to help pick some green apricots."
Mammy responded and went down.
Jiugege reacted and said with embarrassment, "I don't know what happened, I just got greedy all of a sudden."
The Fourth Lady said, "It's the same. You should prepare more food at this time, otherwise you will feel hungry. When you say you want to eat, your stomach will feel empty and uncomfortable."
Shushu said: "Prepare more dried fruits and various kinds of cakes, they are good for teething..."
When a woman gets married, all she talks about is children.
Shushu was understanding and knew that the Fourth Lady came here today probably to talk to the Ninth Princess about something.
If you're just visiting your sister-in-law, it would be more convenient to arrange it after paying your respects to the Queen Mother tomorrow.
She said, "I have some chores to take care of, so I'll go back first. Sister-in-law, please talk to the princess."
Jiugege was about to stand up to see the guest off.
Shushu stopped him and said, "Ansheng, sit down, you are not an outsider..."
She said goodbye and went home.
The Ninth Princess ordered the nanny to send it out.
The Fourth Lady then told the Ninth Princess her intention.
"I want to ask the princess which relatives of the Tong family are in the royal family? Do you have any connections with the Duke's Mansion?"
The Fourth Lady whispered that she was ordered to choose wives for several of the Tong family's uncles who were about to return to Beijing.
The Ninth Princess thought about it carefully and shook her head, "There is no more favor exchange. I asked my husband before, why did the favors from my uncle's family stop? They said that one of their branches had made mistakes in the early years, so they were expelled from the royal family and returned to their hometown in Shengjing."
This refers to the two old dukes and Empress Xiaokangzhang's maternal family, who were members of the Zhenglan Banner who had been expelled from the royal family.
After hearing this, the Fourth Lady understood.
The royal family of the Zhenglan Banner was in chaos, and my own master was trying to avoid them, not to mention the royal family that had been exiled.
In this case, it would be more appropriate to inquire among the relatives in the Bordered White Banner and the Upper Three Banners.
The Ninth Princess hesitated and said, "Only choose from the royal family? I see that the two houses have made more marriages with the Hesheli family and the Niuhulu family in recent years."
Although Shun Anyan married Niuhulu, there was no delay in marrying again.
The Fourth Lady said, "Master, what you mean is that the clan daughter has a noble status."
The Ninth Princess shook her head and said, "It's okay for a princess with a title. The Tong family has had two generations of queens, and many of their sons are arrogant. Just look at how Shun Anyan doesn't even take Ninth Brother seriously, and you know they may not be interested in a princess without a title."
The Fourth Lady said, "These are illegitimate children, and they grew up in Shengjing, so they should be more restrained in their tempers."
Jiu Gege said: "Why do you want to bring three people back? They are already adults. How can three brothers live together? They are not brothers from the same mother. It will be awkward then..."
The Fourth Lady said, "Perhaps because they are too far away, and the Emperor is afraid that he can't find out the three people's behavior and character, so he asked the Prince Consort to bring him back and pay more attention to him!"
After the aunt and sister-in-law chatted for a while, the nanny that the Fourth Lady sent to the West Garden came back with a basket of green apricots and two boxes of sea cucumbers.
The sea cucumber was prepared by the Crown Princess and was stewed by the Ninth Princess.
The Fourth Lady said, "This is warm in nature, and it's perfect to stew with millet porridge, or eat it with bird's nest."
Jiugege nodded and said, "Well, I will thank Second Sister-in-law tomorrow..."

Capital city, Yisan’a Mansion.
There were still few people in the mourning shed.
Idushin and Ikshan sat on one side and Idulil on the other.
There is the Thirteenth Prince, the Ninth Prince, and Malhan. The two brothers dare not look down on the younger one anymore.
"Ama has no elders above him, so the funeral should be held on the 'seventh day', but the weather is hot right now, the official icehouse is not open, and the private icehouses outside are expensive. The cost of throwing away this is too high..."
Yidushan is the head of the family. He knows that his family is poor, so he is reluctant to give it up, and he also fears that it will be an eyesore.
Their family is not a noble family. They only rose to prominence from Yisan'a's generation and cannot be compared with the noble families.
Yiduli suppressed his anger and said, "I'll pay for this money. I was born and raised by my father, and I haven't fulfilled my filial duty yet, so I should show my filial piety to him..."
Yidushan glanced at Yiduli and said, "What I mean is that we should postpone the funeral for a period of 37 days and hold the funeral outside the city."
Yidu Li clenched his fist and said, "Since we have ice, why can't we hold the funeral in the mansion?"
Yidushan sneered, "The house is deserted. Do you want people to watch you laugh for forty-nine days?"
Yi Duli said: "Who can choose when it comes to funeral arrangements for descendants?"
Seeing that the two brothers were about to retort, Yikeshan said, "Father has always been simple and frugal, and he certainly doesn't want his descendants to be extravagant at funerals. Also, the lady is ill, and the house is in a mess, and the lady can't rest well."
When mentioning his biological mother, Yiduli was a little hesitant.
There was a noise outside, and a steward came in quickly, panting and saying, "Master, Second Master, Third Master, someone is coming to the Imperial Court..."
The three brothers looked at each other, not daring to delay, and hurriedly stood up to greet them.
The people who came were the imperial guard Ma Wu and the Minister of Rites Xu Bingyi.
"The Emperor has orally ordered that I offer a thousand taels of silver to the retired Grand Secretary of Wenhua Palace and Minister of Personnel, Yisan'a, and grant him a Dharani blanket, and posthumously name him Wenduan..."
Ma Wu faced south and back to north and delivered the oral order.
The three brothers of the Yi family brought their sons and nephews to kneel and listen to the imperial edict.
"On behalf of my brothers and nephews, I would like to thank the emperor for his grace..."
Idushan took the Dharani blanket with both hands and spoke with a choked voice.
After sending the angel away, Idushan immediately told his eldest son, "Withdraw money from the account and buy spices and ice..."
It was decided to hold the funeral at home.
Today is "Jie San", which is a day of mourning.
As soon as this person came before the emperor, more and more guests began to arrive.
In just half a day, the road in front of the door was blocked. More than a dozen servants were sent out to the street to direct the movement of carriages, and only then did the road slowly move forward.
Seeing his two brothers bringing their nephews to welcome and see off guests, Yiduli returned to the coffin and thought about the past three days, which seemed like a dream.
Thunder, rain, and dew are all your grace.
Although the Ninth Prince was in the garden, he received the news before returning to the Prince's Residence and learned that the Emperor had sent someone to Yisan's house to pay tribute.
He said to the Tenth Prince, "I guess a lot of people are waiting and watching what happens in front of the emperor. This time, friends and relatives should dare to come."
The Tenth Prince said, "They are just opportunists. There is nothing we can do about them. The Hesheli family has been making a lot of noise in recent years, and no one dares to get involved."
The Ninth Prince thought about Yisan'a's miserable old age, which was also caused by Soetu, so he said, "What do you think he is thinking? His two sons are older than Hesheli, and he lost his wife at the age of fifty. Why should he marry a concubine?"
It would have been fine if Soetu's family had been prosperous in those days, but in fact, when Yisan'a remarried, it was already around 25 years ago. Soetu's two younger brothers were stripped of their actual positions and first-class dukes, and Soetu himself was also stripped of his positions as Minister of State Council, Minister of the Interior, and Prince's Tutor, leaving only a Zuoling.
Yisan'a was in his fifties at the time, but Hesheli was in her prime.
The Tenth Prince whispered, "At that time, Yisan'a was not a member of any party. The dispute between the 'Crown Prince Party' and the 'Great Thousand Years Old Party' had already emerged. How could he be willing to get involved in this? It was the first time that the Hesheli brothers were suppressed. As a result, the 'Great Thousand Years Old Party' was somewhat strong. Khan Ama favored the Crown Prince and was afraid that the Crown Prince would lose his support, so he re-employed Soetu, but he did not want the Hesheli family to be united..."
The Ninth Prince listened and whispered, "Was this matchmaking done by Khan Ama?"
That Khan Ama took his anger out on Yisan A because of this marriage relationship, how unkind...

Ashamed, this month I changed my notebooks, the information is incomplete, the rhythm is disrupted, and I started to get stuck. I worked hard in October, and now it’s the last few hours. I quietly beg for a monthly ticket...
