Natural pictures, when Yinzhen came over in the evening, he took Ji Ling's hand with a smile and asked her how her parents came to see her during the day and how they talked. Just as Ji Ling was about to salute, she was helped up by Yinzhen.
Ji Ling looked up and saw that the fourth master looked quite guilty: "Lingling, when you gave birth, I should have arranged for your mother-in-law to come to the palace to see you, but it has been postponed until today - I didn't supervise this matter.
With."
Ji Ling said with a smile: "There are rules for meeting in the palace. At that time, I was too busy taking care of the newborn. How can I blame the emperor?"
While she was talking, she took Yinzhen's arm and walked slowly into the back room, and whispered to her that when her mother was leaving today, she didn't even dare to take more things with her for fear of being seen by others and spreading rumors about herself.
The unfavorable things were told again.
Yinzhen was stunned, and finally sighed and said with a smile: "Your mother is too reserved. That is my reward. Who in this palace dares to say anything!"
Ji Ling pursed her lips and said nothing.
Yinzhen looked at her expression, thought a few times in his mind, and asked her: "Lingling has something to say to me?"
Ji Ling shook his head.
Yinzhen took his arm out of her hand, put his arm around her waist, and said softly: "What's going on?"
Seeing her hesitant expression, he raised his hand and kicked all the slaves out of the room.
When there were only two of them left in the room, Ji Ling took Yinzhen's hand and said in a low voice: "The emperor is busy with many things, and today he still has such a trivial thing in mind as a reward for my mother-in-law. I am very grateful. I want to
Thank you, Your Majesty, for being kind to me, for supporting me, and for giving me the dignity of a mother-in-law."
She stood up, took a few steps back, rarely smiled, and saluted solemnly, thanked you, and flattered you: "Concubine, thank you for your grace!"
Yinzhen was silent for a moment, without covering the corner of his mouth, a deep smile appeared.
Feeling grateful, he nodded deeply and said, "Okay, okay." He stood up and walked over, stretched out his hand to help Ji Ling up and said, "Ling'er, the ground is cold, get up quickly."
Ji Ling took his hand and stood up.
It was already autumn, and there was a slight chill in the evening. Yinzhen held her hand tightly, and heard Ji Ling approach him with a playful smile and asked: "Why did the emperor also call me Ling'er?"
After hearing this "ye", Yinzhen glared at her face and scolded her with a smile: "Who else dares to call you 'Ling'er'?"
Ji Ling lowered his eyebrows and said honestly: "And my mother-in-law..."
Yinzhen laughed, reached out and patted Ji Ling on the back, pulled her into his arms, and said seriously: "Okay, I won't compete with your mother for the title, 'Ling'er' is hers, 'Ling Ling'"
It’s mine!”
After taking a bath at night, when both of them lay down, Yinzhen raised his hand and pulled her into his arms, patting her back every time.
Ji Ling was so comfortable that she squinted her eyes. Yinzhen saw that she looked like a kitten, so he couldn't help but chuckle and lowered his head to kiss her, and then said softly: "I know that your mother-in-law came to see you, and you felt the same in your heart."
Happy, I will let your mother-in-law come to the palace more often from now on."
Ji Ling leaned in his arms and closed her eyes without making a sound. Then she heard Yinzhen pause for a moment and then said: "Lingling, your mother came here in a hurry and left in a hurry. You will inevitably feel sad when mother and daughter are separated."
He paused, gently raised his hand to brush the broken hair on Ji Ling's forehead, and said deeply: "However, you have to think more about Xi'er - you have become a mother now. Xi'er is also yours.
Family, I am your family too, don’t be too sad.”
After hearing the words "I am also your family", Ji Ling suddenly opened her eyes, reached out and hugged Yinzhen's neck, and put her head into his arms.
…
The next morning, Ji Ling asked Xiao Fenzi to invite Zhang Guiren over. He also asked Xiao Fenzi to bring a message to Zhang Guiren not to eat breakfast.
Zhang Guiren:......
When she arrived at Natural Pictures, she saw Ji Ling wearing a simple bun and ordinary clothes, sitting at the dining table in the main hall. When he saw her, he waved: "Shengjian, come quickly!"
As soon as Zhang Guiren sat down, Ji Ling motioned to Qixi and put the chopsticks into her hand, and said: "I just discovered yesterday that this chrysanthemum pot with Double Ninth Festival flower cake is delicious. Come and try it."
As she spoke, she motioned to the slaves to start serving the food.
Zhang Guiren looked at the dazzling breakfast table and said softly: "Sister Ji, why did you call me for breakfast today?"
Ji Ling helped her pick up a chopstick of flower cake, then glanced at her, flattened her lips and said, "You don't come to my place much now. I miss you so much that I have to ask someone to invite you."
Zhang Guiren was startled for a moment, lowered his head and smiled, and said softly: "Sister Ji, there are a lot of people here now. I am a person who is afraid of the scene, so I won't come here to join in the fun. Besides, I am not as good at talking as others. I can speak in just a few words."
It made the whole room laugh and the atmosphere was lively.”
Ji Ling knew that Zhang Guiren was talking about modest concubines and Li Guiren was first-class, so he did not continue the topic. He just shook Zhang Guiren's hand under the table, and gave Zhang Guiren a few pieces of Chongyang Qibao shortbread, saying:
"Don't look at this cake as ordinary, the filling inside is very delicious!"
Zhang Guiren lowered his head and took a bite elegantly. His eyes lit up like a little mouse. He raised his head and asked Ji Ling: "Sister Ji, what kind of pastry is this? I've never eaten it before!"
Ji Ling was startled and blurted out: "Double Ninth Festival Qibao Crispy Cake - during the Double Ninth Festival a few days ago, didn't all the palaces distribute them?"
There are so many Qibao shortcakes with natural pictures that even Qixi and Bixue, the two palace ladies, are tired of eating them.
The look in Zhang Guiren's eyes darkened, and he lowered his head, took the cake again, chewed it silently and cherishingly.
After finishing the meal and teasing the third princess for a while, the two of them sat down in the back room. Ji Ling asked Qixi to bring over all the things that had been prepared for Zhang Guiren. Zhang Guiren stood up when he saw it.
Blocking Ji Ling's hand, her face was slightly red, and she said a little embarrassedly: "Sister Ji, you have no merit and no reward, how can you give me such things!"
Ji Ling pushed Qixi away, leaving her and Zhang Guiren alone in the room.
Zhang Guiren hugged Ji Ling's arm, leaned on her shoulder, and hugged her waist, resting in her arms as if his whole body had been boneless.
Ji Ling hugged her, patted Shengjian's back repeatedly, and said softly: "When we were in Jingyang Palace, every good thing was half yours and half mine, right?"
She raised her hand and took out a hairpin from her hair, showing it to Zhang Guiren: "Look, you gave this to me when we first went to the Old Summer Palace! It was originally a pair."
Zhang Guiren's eyes turned red and he nodded vigorously.
Ji Ling took her hand and said softly: "Since I had the third princess, the emperor likes children, so naturally he will give me more rewards. But the reason why I didn't mention it is because I never knew what was in your heart.
have……"
When she said this, she quickly swallowed the rest of the words and avoided the topic.
Zhang Guiren's face was slightly red, and the look between his eyebrows was as dreamy as a dream.
