In order to completely prevent the rapidly growing third princess from learning any strange expressions, Ji Ling ordered the slaves to take away all the toys from the princess's crib and put them all into a brocade box.
The brocade box was placed beside her bed, and she could only take out one limited toy for the three princesses to play with every day. It would be taken away the next day and replaced with another one.
The expression of the toy he took out was carefully scrutinized by Ji Ling.
The third princess was naturally unhappy when she saw the bed was bare. She used to have a bed of wealth, but now she only had one toy. The psychological gap was too big.
She clenched her little fists, her face turned red, her mouth was flat and she cried.
Qilin saw his little master crying and was very anxious.
It swung its tail and ran around the crib. Finally it stood up, stood up on its hind legs, and struggled to squeeze its furry tail through the gap in the crib's fence, and then swayed its tail like a flower.
——The little master likes to play with its tail the most.
But the third princess ignored Qilin this time. She just raised her hand to wipe away her tears, waved her hand again, and pushed the toy in her hand to the ground.
Ji Ling walked over, picked up the toy with her own hands, and handed it to Bixue. The third princess looked angry and aggrieved.
Hey, you little chubby girl!
Ji Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She raised her hand and told Bi Xue to take out the toy for Mother Shui to wash, and then found another toy from the brocade box.
The third princess really liked the color pink. Ji Ling specially brought out a pink bunny for her. It was the size of a palm, lifelike, exquisite and cute. If the third princess didn't want it, she wanted to keep it for herself - put it on the dressing table and make it.
It would also look nice as a decoration, or you could hang it in the tent as a pendant, and add some flowers, crystal beads, etc. next to it.
The third princess held the pink bunny in her hand, her little face bulged with anger, and she didn't forget to stare at the bunny.
The little rabbit was so cute. She gently pulled the little rabbit's ears, hesitated for a while, and finally opened her mouth and threw it out of the crib fence - just hitting the unicorn's ears.
Qilin just shook his butt and waggled his tail vigorously for a long time. Now he was tired of shaking, so he lay down, and suddenly he was shot while lying down.
"Ouch!" it howled.
The third princess clapped her two little hands, straightened up and sat up on the bed - she couldn't sit up four months ago, but now besides turning over, she has learned to sit up again.
She kicked her two fat feet, her dark eyes rolled around, she looked at the brocade box in her mother's hand, raised her chin, and looked like she was determined to win. Looking at it like that, she looked a bit like her, the Queen.
Either give it all to me, or I don’t want any of it, who cares!
Ji Ling looked at it, folded his hands on his chest, tilted his head slightly, and thought to himself: Who does this child's temperament look like?
…
As soon as the first day of September passed, it was the ninth day of September, the Double Ninth Festival, in a blink of an eye.
In the Qing Dynasty, the food in the four seasons was seasonal: during the Qingming Festival, there were bright and tender yellow kidney bean cakes, pea yellow, and moxa wowo; at the beginning of summer, there were refreshing and refreshing mung bean porridge and adzuki bean porridge; during the summer solstice, there were crystal chicken, almond tofu,
Lotus leaf porridge with the fragrance of aquatic flowers and woods...
During the Double Ninth Festival, flower cakes become the protagonist.
Su Dongpo said, "It is rare in this world to smile. When you are young, you must return home with your head covered with chrysanthemums." - The main activities of the Double Ninth Festival are climbing high, admiring chrysanthemums, drinking chrysanthemum wine, and tasting flower cakes.
The Old Summer Palace is no exception.
As early as three or four days ago, the Office of Internal Affairs of the Old Summer Palace arranged for dozens of pots of top-grade chrysanthemums to be sent to the natural painting, including black chrysanthemums, red clothes and green clothes, snow beads and red plums, ten-foot hanging curtains, independent cold autumn, and the willow moon on the West Lake.
, big white ball, money orange, etc.
The natural pictures are no better than Chengqian Palace, and the grounds are smaller after all. Once these chrysanthemums are put in bloom, the yard will be filled with the fragrance of chrysanthemums.
The unicorn was scurrying around under the flowers, its whole body was filled with the scent of flowers, and it even rubbed its head with pollen.
The magnanimity of Jiuzhou Qingyan and the empress was naturally even more solemn inside the main palace gate. The Internal Affairs Office of the Old Summer Palace prepared almost 10,000 pots of chrysanthemums. Starting from entering and exiting the Xianliang Gate, thousands of chrysanthemums were lined up, dazzling. At night, they were lit again.
With the chrysanthemum lanterns on, it was as lively as the Lantern Festival.
So Ji Ling spent the next few days eating flower cakes from the Double Ninth Festival.
Flower cake and Double Ninth Festival cake refer to the same thing, but they are called differently - rice flour steamed cake, decorated with chestnuts, sweet dates, etc., as well as crushed chrysanthemum petals, added with honey, and kneaded into the dough.
.
Palace pastries are naturally exquisite and exquisite, and the outside must be decorated with exquisite flowers and gold.
Ji Ling likes the taste of chrysanthemum petals, honey, and rice noodles. It has an icy and refreshing taste.
But if it is topped with 100 fruits, the taste will be confusing - for her, it is superfluous.
She told Xiao Dazi in detail, and Xiao Dazi understood it, got into the dining room, and brought her pure honey and chrysanthemum Double Ninth Festival cake.
Before Hua Gao's enthusiasm had passed, the fourth master allowed her mother's family to enter the Old Summer Palace to see her and the third princess. He also sent a special car to pick her up and escort them all the way.
Ji Ling thought, this is the advantage of living in the Old Summer Palace. After all, the rules are much faster than those in the Forbidden City.
Think about it, if we were in the Forbidden City, just to apply for an auspicious date to enter the palace, we would have to wait for many days to go through the process, not to mention having to wait until three festivals, two birthdays, four o'clock and eight festivals before we can let people in.
No wonder later Qing emperors liked to live in Yuanmingyuan.
When Mrs. Ji was brought into the Old Summer Palace, she also knew that she would receive such special treatment because her daughter was favored. However, as a woman, she could not explain how her daughter was favored.
I just saw my old man being put down there to train for a period of time. After he came back, he was so favored by the emperor that he became a third-rank official in the imperial court after an imperial edict.
This is all because of my daughter.
In fact, from the bottom of my heart, whether I am taking advantage of it or not is secondary. The most important thing is that my daughter should live a good life in the palace and not be bullied.
Going forward, it was the Nian Concubine who I heard was the most favored in the past. The final ending was not...
It can be seen that those who are favored or not are just bubble phantoms and cannot be considered real.
The only thing that is truly reliable is to give birth to a son and a half daughter, and have the blood of the emperor.
So when the good news came from the palace that the concubine Chen had given birth to a little princess, and that mother and daughter were safe, she was so excited that she worshiped in the Buddhist hall at home for several days.
A small carriage slowly walked across the Ruyi Bridge. Mrs. Ji was dazzled by the color of the lake in the Old Summer Palace. Xiao Fenzi was ordered to greet her and lead the way. When she saw this, she raised her hand to signal
The eunuchs serving the sedan chair should move more slowly.
When they arrived in front of the natural pictures, Qixi and Bixue were already waiting there with smiling faces.
When the lady got off the sedan chair, two maids came forward to help her, spreading flowers and willows on the ground.
Mrs. Ji had just stepped into the threshold, and before she had time to look around, she saw from a distance a lady dressed in palace attire, with her head full of pearls and a baby in her arms, standing at the door of the main hall, smiling.
He walked towards her.
As soon as she moved her steps, a group of servants around her immediately followed her.
