Yin carried Ji Ling and walked in. He walked straight to the bed before sitting down. He still didn't put him down, so he just let Ji Ling sit on his lap. Ji Ling's face turned red again, and he hugged her softly with both hands.
On his neck, a pair of black eyes were rolling, but he didn't dare to look up at himself.
Yin laughed, stretched out his hand like teasing a puppy, and gently rubbed Ji Ling's chin with his thumb, forcing her to raise her head.
Ji Ling was coolly stimulated by the jade ring on his thumb, and turned her head sideways. Yin saw a pile of green plums on the table, sprinkled with frosting like fallen plums and broken snow, so he picked up one and stuffed it.
Enter Ji Ling's mouth.
Ji Ling opened his mouth and ate honestly and without ceremony. After he finished eating, he spit out the core and held it in his hand.
Seeing that she was nervous, Yin deliberately teased her, approached her and said softly: "Show me your feet.".
Ji Ling had no choice but to lift up the hem of her flag dress, and Yin saw that the tops of her feet were slightly swollen. She guessed that she had stood on the bottom of a flower pot for a long time. She frowned and said, "If you don't go out in the future, just wear ordinary embroidered shoes in the east courtyard.
”.
Ji Ling's eyes lit up: "Really?".
Yin looked at her and said with a smile: "I said it doesn't matter today, and it doesn't matter."
Qixi and Bixue were guarding the door. They heard a movement inside gradually. Their master seemed to be crying and begging for mercy. Qixi and Bixue looked at each other. They both avoided each other's eyes and lowered their faces with red faces.
head.
After the love affair, it was already dark. There was only one palace lantern lit in the bedroom, and the light was extremely dim. Yin had just stood up, and when he looked up casually, he saw an open box on the dressing table, with a faint gleam of light emitting from it, and said: "Then
What is it?".
Ji Ling turned to look and said, "It's the bright moon that the Queen gave me today."
The smile on Yin's face gradually faded, and he walked over and reached out to pick up a bright moon. The brilliance of the bright moon flowed on his fingertips. Even though it was a dark night, it made the thing even more shining.
His eyes seemed to be filled with wistfulness, memories, and tenderness. After a long while, he said in a low voice: "Empress Xiao Yiren's favorite thing during her lifetime was the bright moon. When I was young, I often watched her wear the bright moon. Although this thing is imitated in her shape,
It also has charm."
Ji Ling knew that the Queen Xiao Yiren he was talking about was the Tong Jia of the Kangxi Dynasty who had raised him like a biological mother.
At this time, the room was silent. Yin didn't say anything for a long time. He only gently rubbed the surface of the moon with his fingertips. After a while, he walked up to Ji Ling with a small box and said, "Put it on and try it."
Ji Ling sat up, took the box, groped in the darkness, found the earring hole on her ear, and put Mingyue on it. Yin raised his hand, gently touched her cheek, his eyes were wandering, and after a while he lowered his head,
He murmured: "I remember that in the last few days of my mother's life, although she was seriously ill and could not afford it, she still looked attentive to her appearance, and Mingyue was always with her.".
Ji Ling did not dare to interrupt him, so she listened to him continue: "The queen only served as queen for one day and then passed away. Even though I was young at the time, I still remember clearly that during the ceremony of conferring the queen, the queen vomited continuously.
Three mouthfuls of blood were on the veil, and I had to hold on to complete the ceremony."
Ji Ling saw a hint of vulnerability in his eyes, and couldn't help but stretched out her arms to gently hug Yin, saying: "The graceful Empress Xiao Yiren, although I haven't seen her body, I think she must be extremely graceful."
Yin took a deep breath and was silent for a long time. When he raised his head again, there was no trace of the fragile expression on his face like a young child looking for his mother. His face returned to its usual cold and determined lines.
Ji Ling said softly: "I don't know the original meaning of this thing. The Queen Mother said that there are only three pairs in the Forbidden City. She has one pair and gave me a pair as a reward, and the other pair is with Princess Hehui."
Princess Hehui was the fourth daughter of the Thirteenth Prince of the Kangxi Dynasty. She was born in the 53rd year of Kangxi's reign, and her biological mother was Yinxiang's direct descendant Jin Zhaojia. She was raised in the palace since she was a child and was very popular with Yongzheng.
Yin nodded and said: "Lao Shisan's daughter is my daughter and she should have a share."
He raised his hand and gently touched Ji Ling's cheek, with a look of affection in his eyes.
Bixue and Qixi had fallen asleep leaning against the door frame. Suddenly they heard movement inside. Qixi immediately stood up, gently opened the door curtain a crack, and whispered: "Your Majesty, Master, but
Want to wash up and eat?"
The two of them washed up briefly and came out to sit at the table.
The hot pot had been kept in the small kitchen with boiling water to keep it warm. Now it was served hot, and the spicy aroma was overflowing. After all the royal dishes were placed, the accompanying eunuch began to "taste the meal" and left after no problem.
In addition to the hot pot, there is Ji Ling's roast duck on the table. The duck skin is browned and the duck meat is tender. It has been cut into more than thirty thin slices and laid on a white plate in the shape of a peony flower. In addition, cucumber shreds, dough, and enough
There are three portions, enough for her to eat.
Ji Ling picked up a piece of dough, wrapped it in duck meat, scallions, and cucumber shreds, dipped it in sweet sauce, and put it in his mouth.
tasty!
Qixi helped Ji Ling wrap the dough. After wrapping each piece, she put it on the plate in front of Ji Ling. When she looked up, she saw the beautiful maid sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, slightly poking her head at the door of the room. The maid looked at her deliberately.
She was dressed up, her makeup was bright, and her lips were rosy and shiny.
Qixi's expression changed, and she immediately put down her chopsticks, smiled, bent her knees at the table, and whispered: "Your Majesty, Master, this servant went to see that there was still a plate of snacks warm in the annex. I don't know if it's okay at this time."
Ji Ling nodded, and Qixi immediately walked over unhurriedly, blocking Yin's sight. When she stepped out of the room and passed the palace maid, she grabbed her sleeves and dragged the palace maid away with force.
The palace maid's name was Yanzhi. She almost screamed when she was pulled like this, but Qixi stared at her fiercely. She didn't stop until she was far away and said, "Didn't I ask you to tidy up your sewing in the room today?"
What are you doing when you come out and poke your head around!".
Rouge raised her eyebrows slightly, with a look that was partly disdainful and partly provocative. She just said lightly: "Sister Qixi is so powerful, but in the end, we are all slaves, so what's the difference between seniority and seniority?".
After she finished speaking, she stretched out her hand to straighten the shirt on her shoulders, and then rubbed the painful area pinched by Qixi, and then said politely: "It is natural for a slave to serve his master. I see that the emperor and the nobles are having a meal, so naturally I want to see what's missing."
There is no shortage of manpower to serve.”
At this time, the spring sun was warm, and the sunlight shone on Qixi's face through the gaps between the branches and leaves. Qixi's chest kept rising and falling because of anger.
She stared at Yanzhi without blinking and said coldly: "If the master wants someone to serve him, Bixue and I will be there. In the front room, you are not allowed to run around without the master's orders! Do you hear me?"
