After some tenderness, Yinzhen asked his servant to come in and wash himself. The two of them changed into dry new pajamas and lay down side by side.
Qixi blew out the lamp, lowered her eyes, put down the bed curtain, and retreated.
This will be a real break.
In the darkness, Yinzhen stretched out his hand and pulled Ji Ling into his arms.
Ji Ling remained silent and quietly buried her face in Yinzhen's chest, listening to the gurgling sound of water outside the courtyard.
The clear sound of water surrounds the house, and the summer heat invades the windows at night.
I didn't realize it during the day, but I just heard the sound of the water in the lake behind the Old Summer Palace, which was extremely clear and flowing, rustling on the stones on the river bank, and small fish jumped out of the water in the night, and the water splashed lightly.
ring.
After a while, I heard the sound of rain - it turned out that it was already drizzling outside. The sound of rain was as gentle as gauze, and it was like hitting my ears bit by bit.
The two of them were silent in the darkness, saying nothing, but they both felt satisfied in their hearts.
After a while, Ji Ling turned over and felt a sudden pain in his waist.
She was so sore that she squinted her eyes and let out a low groan.
Yinzhen naturally knew what the reason was and couldn't help but chuckle.
He reached out and rubbed the back of her waist gently, then lowered his head and kissed her forehead, cheeks, and neck comfortingly.
Ji Ling raised her face, hugged Yinzhen's neck, and responded to him gently.
As a result, I heard that Fourth Master’s breathing gradually became heavier again...
He let go of her quickly, restrained himself for a while, then changed the subject, and suddenly said: "There is one more thing - Qin Tianjian has chosen the concubine, and I have seen the auspicious date for the canonization ceremony.
It's a good day, just seven days from now."
Ji Ling:...Seven days later? It’s close!
Seeing that Ji Ling didn't speak, Yinzhen thought she was nervous, so he stretched out his hand to hold her hand, and said with a low smile: "Don't be afraid, there will be a female officer selected by the internal affairs to specialize in canonization ceremonies. Lingling, you just need to
Just follow the steps and follow the guidance."
…
It started drizzling in the middle of the night. Ji Ling thought it would be cloudy the next day, but he didn't expect the weather to be particularly nice.
After Yinzhen left, Ji Ling leaned on the small clinical couch in a daze, dozing off with her head propped up, and the bright sun fell on her through the window screen.
Qixi quietly came in to see her several times - she really wanted to persuade her master to go to bed and have a good sleep, but today was the first morning after arriving at the Old Summer Palace, and she would have to pay her respects to the Queen soon!
Ji Ling naturally knew this, so he didn't dare to go to bed. When he heard the noise, he opened his eyes and Qixi smiled and said, "Master, are you up? Can you bring me breakfast?"
Ji Ling nodded.
After a while, breakfast was brought in, which was shrimp dumplings, fish porridge, a plate of spring rolls, a plate of fried steamed bun slices, a plate of bamboo leaf steamed buns, and a plate of lotus cakes.
After Ji Ling had breakfast, she took Qixi, Bixue and Xiaofenzi out.
As a result, as soon as she walked out of the natural picture door, she was almost blinded by the golden light reflected from the lake surface.
I really want to have a pair of sunglasses!
Ji Ling squinted her eyes and took a look around the arbor - the location of her natural painting is so good! It is right in the middle of the east side of the back lake, not leaning to either side, and is the best place to enjoy the lake view.
Xiao Fenzi came forward, pointed to the opposite side of the lake, and added in a low voice: "Master, look, that area is where the Queen lives - it's open and clear!"
Ji Ling followed the direction pointed by Xiao Fenzi and looked to the southwest of the lake. Sure enough, there was a small group of buildings facing her across the lake.
In fact, if you take the waterway by boat, you will pass in a straight line.
If you take the land route, it will take some detours.
But it's not bad - just follow the long bridge, go south to the Peony Terrace, then stick to the edge of the back lake, walk west, cross the Zongting Bridge, and you'll be in front of Tantan.
"Let's go!" She turned to Xiaofenzi, Qixi and the others.
It happened that while walking, I got familiar with the surrounding situation - after all, I came in on a sedan yesterday, and in the afternoon I just rested and dressed up, and in the evening Yinzhen came again.
Until now, she has not taken a closer look at the Old Summer Palace!
The three masters and servants walked onto the long bridge. As Ji Ling walked, he turned his head to admire the color of the lake. Suddenly, he had the illusion of walking on the Su Di on the edge of the West Lake.
This lake is so nice!
If at night, you can row a small boat on it, hold a volume of books, lie on your back in the boat, slowly look at the stars in the sky, and let the lake water rock the boat, just like a cradle...
After arriving at the Peony Terrace, he turned a corner and walked close to the back lake. Ji Ling faintly saw far ahead, what seemed to be a group of servants walking around surrounded by a concubine.
Bixue had sharp eyes, squinted her eyes and took a look, then whispered: "I look at you, it seems to be the concubine Xi!"
Xi concubine? Looking in this direction, she is going to pay her respects to the Queen openly.
Ji Ling looked back slightly - judging from the route Xi Bin took, could it be that she came out of Princess Cheng's Peony Terrace?
As we walked all the way and crossed the Palm Pavilion Bridge, our eyes suddenly opened up.
It’s so “frank”!
The palace garden in front of us is open and impressive. There is a large square in front of the garden. At this time, many palace people were sweeping in front of the garden. When they saw Ji Lingxing approaching, they all stopped what they were doing and respectfully
Salute her and say hello.
Some people who knew her kept calling her "Ji Guiren"; there were also servants who had been staying in the Old Summer Palace since its expansion and naturally didn't know what was going on in the Forbidden City. When they saw her noble dress, they just vaguely followed her and called her "Gui Ren".
As she got closer, a palace attendant came forward and led her sideways into the open courtyard with a smile.
When Ji Ling walked into the main hall, he was greeted by a large landscape screen.
Before even walking around the screen, I could hear soft voices and cheers behind me.
Ji Ling held Qixi's hand and walked over. Sure enough, she saw that many people had already arrived, sitting in a room full of people with fragrant clothes and hair on their temples. A burst of fragrant makeup and powder smell hit her.
The furnishings in the front hall are extremely luxurious, but because they are so luxurious, the hall seems a bit dark. However, red silk palace lanterns are hung both inside and outside the eaves, and they are burning brightly even though it is daytime.
Before Ji Ling had time to take a closer look, the eunuch next to him had already sang: "Ji Guiji has arrived——!"
Under the guidance of the man, Ji Ling walked forward.
Then she arrived in front of her seat, looked around at the people around her, and realized that her position did not seem to belong to the noble, but to the concubines.
Xibi was sitting on her left side.
Today, Xibi wore a lake blue satin hydrangea regiment flag dress, with pearls and emeralds surrounding her head.
When she saw Ji Ling coming, she smiled and nodded.
Ji Ling also smiled politely and saluted her before sitting down.
Mao Bi was sitting on the other side of Xi Bi. At this time, she suddenly came over and said to Ji Ling with a smile: "Congratulations, sister! I said that my sister is lucky. Look, it has only been less than a year. Today,
There’s good news again!”
Her voice was clear and clear, and although her voice was not loud, when she said it intentionally or unintentionally, the complicated eyes of the women around her all turned towards Ji Ling.
