The struggle of the eight blessings of rebirth

Chapter 322

What made Minzhi speechless was that three days after Shifujin left, she was confirmed to be pregnant for the third time. When she got the news, she didn't come to her senses for a long time: "What? I'm pregnant again? I wasn't allowed to take that medicine before. Could it be that At that time, I already..." "Returning to the master, the master's double veins were weak a few days ago, and the slaves dare not diagnose. Now the fetal heart rate has stabilized, the slaves congratulate the master, congratulate the master."

That embarrassment of Minzhi, she touched her belly that showed no signs: "Are you sure you didn't misdiagnose?" "Slaves dare not lie to their master even if they die." The doctor knelt down and kowtowed.The servants on the side were overjoyed: "Fu Jin, this is a happy event, a great happy event, I will ask the housekeeper to announce the good news to the prince." This is Mo Shuang.

"My servant is going to the kitchen to make you some soup." This is Mo Xue. "I will go to the other families to announce the good news." This is Mo Lin.The three separated and ran away, Minzhi was still in a daze.Qiu Ju bowed: "This servant will send a message to the palace to invite the imperial physician to see you." Minzhi opened her mouth, but didn't say anything.Seeing this, the doctor gave some precautions, and then withdrew without asking for a reward.Because they know that when the prince returns later, there is no need to ask for rewards or anything.Get it soft.

Soon, everyone found out that Princess Lianjun was pregnant for the third time. Concubine Yifei and Concubine Hui were naturally overjoyed. Pearl, happy again.After hearing the news, Concubine Tong Gui of Kunyi Palace frowned, and sighed deeply: "Go and take out the bracelet that the emperor gave me last time, I'm going to Chuxiu Palace to congratulate."

Kangxi in the Changchun Garden got the news, and he also frowned: "Could it be possible that Qin Tianjian has really calculated that Guo Luoluo's body has been deteriorating because of the lack of water vapor before. Send Hongwang and Hongzhe back, it’s only been two years, and she will catch up?" These words seemed to be speaking to the air, but also to himself.

Wu Shulai interjected at this moment: "Returning to the master, the servants of the Wang family of Lian County have already moved into the palace to move the imperial physician." "Well, the head of the Imperial Hospital took them there personally, and said...it means Kunyi Palace." Kangxi pondered for a while, and ordered. "The servant understands, so let's do it." Wu Shulai bowed and exited Qingxi Bookstore.

By the time the head of the Imperial Hospital led people to the Prince Lianjun's Mansion, the main room was already full of visitors, and the ones who came the fastest were of course the Nine Fujin, Ten Fujin and Sixteen Fujin.Ten and 16, who were still at Zhuangzi at the time, heard that the eighth sister-in-law was happy, put down their work and rushed to the Lianjun Prince's Mansion before changing their clothes, and put down their housework to prepare gifts. They came only after everything was arranged The [-]th Fujin and the [-]th Fujin who also had a big belly came hand in hand.

There were so many women that the main house was packed to the brim at once.Minzhi was a little flattered: "Why are you all here? The thirteen younger brothers and sisters are also healthy people, so why bother you to go this way..." Zhao Jia stood up with her waist supported: "Eighth sister-in-law is out. Is it my fault, I have been neglecting my sister-in-law..." "Look at what you said, I don't know how happy you are to come! You say I'm out of touch, but I really see out of you, it's you, come on Come, all sit down.

Ninth brother and sister, I thought to come to see you in two days, how is your health?How is your daughter's dowry prepared?As an aunt, I don't have anything good to give her as a congratulatory gift. This isn't because I went hunting with Huang Ama a while ago. Zhe'er hunted a black fox for me. I thought it was shiny, so why not give it to your girl? Bar. "Minzhi said while drinking the soup.

Jiufujin got up hurriedly: "No need, how can you give away something that Zhe'er respects sister-in-law? My sister-in-law's feelings, my family's San'er and I have kept them in our hearts." Minzhi rolled her eyes angrily: "Why? You still say such kind words to me, as her aunt, I send something to congratulate her on her wedding, what's the point?"

"I, I don't mean that... I'm..." Jiufujin blushed and faltered.Seventeen Fujin said at the same time: "Sister-in-law, don't be polite to Sister-in-law Ba, the more polite you are, the more you will make her unhappy, but now she is pregnant with the emperor's heir, you can't afford it!" "That's right. "Sixteen Fujin continued: "Eighth sister-in-law is one of the lucky ones among us, hurry up and give us a few joys..." He pretended to say to ten Fujin: "Sister-in-law, let me change places with you... ..."

Shi Fujin said angrily: "If you want to let the Seventeenth Brother and Sister, the Seventeenth Brother's health is getting better, and the Seventeenth Brother's health is getting better day by day, and the imperial doctor said that it will return to normal within a year, and the Seventeenth Brother and Sister are the ones who must hurry That one, you already have Hongpu, what are you going to grab?" Niu Gulu blushed: "Sister-in-law Shi was joking."

Minzhi sighed leisurely at this moment, and interjected: "The thirteenth sibling is the most blessed one here, and the seventeenth sibling should get closer to her, she is a lucky person with both children!" Everyone turned their faces away. , Only then did I remember that Sister-in-Law has always been sad about her daughter, so, under the eye contact, the words that were supposed to bless the birth of a son, when they came here, all became "This time must be a beautiful little princess" "It must be er Mother’s caring little padded jacket” or something like that.

Sixteen Fujin was even more exaggerated: "Sister-in-law eight, I bet you will have a daughter this time. If you have a son, we, who are here today, will give you a daughter for each of us!" Minzhi was drinking soup. When she came out, she coughed for a while, and Mo Yu and the nanny behind her hurriedly patted each other: "Cough cough, I said Wanning, daughter, you treat it like a doll, can you just give it away? When the ninth sibling was pregnant with the second child, I told her that if she was a girl, she would be my goddaughter, but she turned out to be an elder brother, and she still owes me!"

Jiufu Jin blushed: "Sister-in-law Ba, I... I'm afraid I won't be able to do it anymore." "Promise! Look at me? I'm already old, and I'm pregnant when I'm old. How younger are you than me! "

While chatting and laughing in this room, Qiu Ju reported that the imperial concubine had sent the head of the imperial hospital and two other imperial physicians to ask the master for pulse.All the sisters-in-law had different eyes for a while.Minzhi also frowned, but recovered quickly: "Since it's the kindness of the concubine mother, I'll thank you and invite the imperial physician to come in."

The head of the imperial hospital came in, and when he saw so many royal daughter-in-laws, he hurriedly greeted them.Carefully cut Minzhi's pulse, and after more than ten seconds, her expression relaxed: "Congratulations, princess, it is indeed a happy pulse, and the pulse condition is stable and mild, without any bad signs." Minzhi nodded: "The pulse condition is calm, that is, Say, maybe it's a daughter?" The imperial physician was taken aback, everyone wanted a son, but his family wanted a daughter.The attendant behind the master was quick-witted, and answered immediately: "Returning to the master, judging from the pulse condition, it seems to be the image of a noble lady."

Only then did Minzhi smile, and caught sight of Dong E and Zhao Jia next to her: "Please ask the imperial physician to take a look at Shisan Fujin and Princess Shanjun to see if there is something to pay attention to." The two hurriedly stood up to thank, Seeing a doctor from an imperial doctor is not something you can enjoy casually, let alone the expert group led by the head of the imperial hospital.

After the examination, Thirteen Fujin was in good health and the fetal image was stable. The imperial physician specially prescribed a nourishing prescription for her.On the contrary, Jiufu Jin belongs to the weak and sick, and I am afraid that he can only be a flower in the greenhouse for the rest of his life.

Minzhi had someone reward the imperial physician, and had someone prepare a thank-you gift for Kunyi Palace, and sent the imperial physician back, the imperial physician left, and the condolences from Concubine Hui, Concubine Yi and Concubine Liang arrived, and there was another pile of silk Minzhi took all the silk and medicinal materials as ordered.Seeing that the sky was getting dark, all the Fujins left one after another, and Minzhi let them go home without being pretentious.

After the crowd dispersed, she was lying on the bed alone, still touching her stomach, still digesting reality.Suddenly thought of something, sat up from the bed: "Come here, change clothes, go to the Buddhist hall!"

Qiu Ju supported her, and Simo followed her. Before reaching the courtyard where the Buddhist hall was located, she saw Xia Lan standing at the door from a distance.When Xia Lan saw Minzhi, she came up to salute: "Fu Jin is auspicious." "Is the Tong family in?" Minzhi asked in surprise, she remembered that except for the Hu family, there was no female family member who believed in Buddhism, and since she enshrined Han Yue's After the memorial tablet, no one else came in except myself.

Of course, she didn't make an explicit order that no one else could enter the Buddhist hall except herself, it's just that the female relatives are sticking to the rules.Now knowing that Zhizhu Tong is inside, Minzhi didn't say anything, just asked: "Is her body okay?" Xia Lan said seriously, "I'm going back to the master, I've been taking care of her these years, but I haven't seen any improvement."

Minzhi looked at the closed door, and suddenly said to Nanny Jin: "Go and knock on the door, just say I'm outside."The door opened, and Chuntao helped Tong Shi out.When Minzhi saw Tong, she felt that she was thinner than Hanyin on the day she got married. Her face was still pale, her eyes were empty and lifeless. Seeing her slowly walking over, Yingying bowed down: "My concubine pays respects to Fujin." Minzhi Zhi couldn't help taking a step back: "Mianli, are you here to pray for blessings?"

Tong Shi smiled calmly: "I am here to ask the Bodhisattva to bless my concubine so that I can join a good family in the next life." Minzhi frowned: "Don't say such depressing words, your life is still long, cherish it is true, go back to the house Go, be careful." "Concubine resign." Tong Shi wanted to bend her knees, but was restrained by Minzhi: "No, please help me." Tong turned around and left, Minzhi walked towards the Buddhist hall , I didn’t take a few steps before I heard a sentence floating softly from behind: “May I be reborn as an ordinary farmer in the next life, work at sunrise and rest at sunset.”

Minzhi sighed, the same sentence, the only thing people can't choose is their own background, they can't change the environment, they can only change themselves.With a heart higher than the sky and a life thinner than paper, this is Tong.She can't forget her daughter's tragic death, and she can't forget that she was reprimanded and ridiculed by her grandmother.Living alone in her own small courtyard, even rich clothes and fine food can't cure her depression.

No longer thinking about Tong Shi, Minzhi fixed her eyes on Han Yue's memorial tablet. Just now, she had a ridiculous idea. This time, is her daughter reincarnated?
Burning incense, kneeling, praying, and facing the tablet of my daughter, there is always an unspeakable dull pain in my heart: "Daughter, is it you? Are you going to come back to me? If so, let the cigarettes skyrocket, Give Er Niang some hints." After being silently enlightened, Minzhi stared closely at the burning incense, the smoke was soft and soft, but it twisted all the way up.Minzhi closed her eyes and kowtowed: "Yueyue, Erniang hopes, it's you who came!"

Qiuju and the nuns looked at it with some reluctance. They all knew that Hanyue on the tablet was a shackle that the master had been carrying until now, and they were even praying silently. This time, let the master be born. A little grid.

Standing up, Minzhi did not go back to the room to rest, but sat down on the side of the square table, turned her head and said to Nanny Jin: "Mom, this is still the same as when I was grounded!" "Yes, now The master has come to the end of all hardships." Madam Li answered with a bow. "Why do I feel that these are Yueyue and the Bodhisattva, who are protecting me in heaven? I want to stay here tonight and chant sutras for Yueyue."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay: "Master, you should go back and rest, Little Gege is living in your stomach!" Jin Nanny persuaded. "It's okay, I'll just rest here, let the kitchen deliver vegetarian food later, I don't want Yueyue to see that I am nourishing with delicacies from mountains and seas."

"But master..." Mo Shuang wanted to say something, but Qiu Ju bowed knowingly: "Yes, the maidservants will do it now. Qiu Ju led Simo out, leaving only the two nuns to accompany Minzhi. After a while, she led people to change the bedding in the Buddhist hall, and ordered the kitchen to bring snacks, soup, etc. Minzhi didn't care about these, she randomly picked out a scripture from the shelf, and when she opened it, it was "Medicine "Wang Dian" read down along the way.

When Yinhu hurried back from work and ran into the main house, he was told that Fujin had gone to the Buddhist hall, and when he went to the Buddhist hall to see it, his joyful mood suddenly sank, and he waved back and walked up to her: "What? Has a daughter?" Minzhi put down the book in her hand, looked up at him: "Well, you said, is she back?"

"I think it's her. You can relax and take good care of her. From today on, you can forget about everything at home. Prenatal care is important. I have already applied to Huang Ama. The imperial doctor will come to invite you every other day." Take a pulse, don't think about anything, and give birth to a healthy and beautiful daughter with peace of mind." Yinhu said gently.

"You don't want a son? Isn't the royal family always want to have many sons and grandchildren?" Minzhi raised her eyes. "You're thinking too much. I said to have a daughter, so I will have a daughter. Don't we have three sons? And as I said, I will give you a daughter." Yinhu pinched her face: "Go back to the house .”

"No, I want to stay here and talk to Yueyue..." Minzhi shook her head.Yinhu sighed: "Okay then." Turning to the servants in the room: "Each person will be rewarded with 50 taels of cash, and in addition, the monthly money will be tripled this month." At this moment, everyone knelt down : "Thank you, master, for your kindness." "Master gave birth safely, and there is a bigger reward for you." After leaving these words, Yinhu left the Buddhist hall.

Immediately afterwards, all the servants in the whole family had their salaries increased for two months. Minzhi lived in the Buddhist hall for three days, and only came out on the fourth day to accept greetings from the concubines. , Mrs. Cai and Mrs. Cai took Hu and Wang to greet Minzhi, the envy in their eyes was beyond words.

Everyone knows the prince's feelings for the princess. Although he knew it before he got married, he really felt the loneliness of staying alone in the vacant room, but it made the concubines feel uneasy. The prince stayed in the concubine's house for a month. For more than three days, the princess has to wait for her to feel unwell.Sometimes, the prince would rather sleep in the study than stay in their room overnight.

Now, the concubine is pregnant again, and the concubines and concubines can't tell how much envy, jealousy and hatred they have in their hearts.As before, Minzhi expressed condolences to Mrs. Chen, and when her daughter got married, Mrs. Chen fell silent again.Seeing that it was past thirty, Minzhi couldn't help sighing, but for Cai, she had to say a few more words to her for Hong Ye's sake.

Yinhu must agree to let him study with his three elder brothers next year, and Cai has made up his mind. The prince did not really ignore Hong Ye, and yesterday, the prince stayed with her overnight.To be treated like this, in this family, is considered pretty good.

Minzhi conceived at home and enjoyed the treatment of the Empress Dowager. The concubines in the palace did not ask her to pay her respects, and they would not be able to finish the supplements given by her in ten years.bored.A group of sisters-in-law came at any time, the three sons were at night and night, and the attendant was ready to accept the harassment from Er Niang. The first thing Yinhu did when he came home every day was to report to the main house, eat with his wife, and calm her emotions. Make sure every day that the one born this time must be a daughter.

Seeing the end of the new year is approaching, Minzhi has nothing to worry about, but the others have a lot of worries this year.Kangxi returned to the palace to preside over the sacrificial activities during the Changzhi Festival. When everyone saw him, they felt that the old man was staggering, old and in a very bad state of mind. He even sat in the dragon chair to listen to the congratulatory speech, and when he heard the middle part , the old man fell asleep.

Doubts about the old man's health began to creep up. After this year, we will officially enter the 59th year of Kangxi, and we are getting closer and closer to a Jiazi. The old man will definitely become the greatest and longest reigning monarch since the founding of the Qing Dynasty.However, the emperor did not announce the name of the heir for a day, and the hearts of the officials were always hanging. Although at the moment, the most lucky emperor is the fourth son of the emperor, Prince Yong Yinzhen.However, the one with the strongest strength in his hands is the unknown Lianjun Wang Yinhu.

During this year, many old ministers passed away, and many veteran ministers who have not yet reached the retirement age submitted papers asking to go home for the elderly. The old man approved almost all of them, and the establishment of the Imperial Academy has also been reduced to the smallest scale in the past. How do you see this? It's like the old man is clearing up his debts, making early preparations for the new emperor's enthronement and the replacement of courtiers.

Who will be the successor?Yinzhen?Yinzhen?Or Yinhu?The abacus in the minds of the ministers was resounding, Fourteen is the worst looking now, fighting to the death with Nian Gengyao in the northwest, making a mess, but ceding the territory in the south of the Yangtze River to Yinzhen.Without the support of civil servants and the control of generals, his chances of winning have dropped to the lowest point in history.

On the contrary, Yinhu, Prince of Lian County, has his own soldiers in his hands, and after many years of rotating work in various departments, it can be said that he has a deep understanding of this country. The experience of supervising the country, but everyone knows that supervising the country for the emperor is absolutely thankless. Apart from being a secretary, he can't handle anything at all. Our emperor, His Majesty, will never allow the slightest bit of power to be left aside.

Therefore, fourth master is still a part-time worker.But the problem is, Prince Lian has been the king of the county for so many years, and he was selectively ignored when he was entrusted several times. The plague killed their lives. Looking at the other princes, the road to promotion for Prince Lian was really long and arduous.

Kangxi listened to all the introductions from the ministers, and finally came back. The old man squinted his eyes and flipped through the memorials in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. The more he looked, the more he felt that something was missing. After reading the tenth book, The old man finally found out that there was not a single copy of Jiangnan's officialdom.

This time, the three princes went to the south of the Yangtze River to check the tax bank, which caused a lot of official vacancies in the two rivers and three provinces, and a lot of accidents. The time when Mulan Miqiu just came back was related to the transfer of officials in the south of the Yangtze River for corruption and dereliction of duty. He piled them up into a mountain, but he ignored them and kept them in the freezer for nearly two months. Now that he returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, when he looked again, he couldn't see any of them. Could it be that all the officials have learned to be smart?If he doesn't mention it, no one dares to mention it?What did the officials of Yushitai do to eat?Aren't they the most patriotic, loving and cynical?Why is there no movement?
The old man was not calm anymore: "Come here, Xuan Zuodu Censor." The result of the investigation made Kangxi very angry, Zuodu Censor cried bitterly. Prince Yong, Prince Heng, and Prince Lu jointly received and preserved it, but Prince Heng and Prince Lu actually couldn't even touch the edge of the booklet.

Prince Yong was the only one who handled all the notebooks, and he was the one who managed them by category, and the guards from Changchun Garden, every time they came to pick up the notebooks, they just carried them according to the categories.According to Yu Shitai, their officials have never dared to dereliction of duty, and they would urge the emperor to deal with Liangjiang affairs as soon as possible.

But why this book did not reach the hands of the emperor is unknown.The old man was so angry that his seven orifices were filled with smoke, Yinzhen, you are so brave, you dare to put up a memorial, you are so light-headed and can't stand the praise, the fox's tail is so obvious so soon, do you think I am really old and confused?Thinking of this, and recalling the crying of the Eighteenth Princess, I felt restless. I made her a concubine, but didn't raise the flag for her, because I was afraid that Yinhu would forget her roots because of this, and couldn't hold it back.

Unexpectedly, this has become the capital for others to point their noses and scold their mothers. Wei Shi is my woman, and to scold her is to slander me!Kangxi was angry for a while, then sighed again: "It's all like this, are you still only smiling? Come, Xuan Bailanzhi, let him bring the piano!"
