After successfully unloading the cargo, Ji Ling felt relaxed both physically and mentally.
She collapsed on the bed, Qixi held on tight and quickly fed her a few mouthfuls of food and drink. Bixue combed her messy hair again, and finally tied it into a braid, simply tied it behind her head, and served her master again.
Wear dry clothes, otherwise you will be covered in sweat and stick to your body, and you will catch a cold sooner or later.
The imperial doctors knelt down to the emperor, delivered the baby to grandma and Aunt Chen and announced the good news: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, the little brother weighs six pounds and eight taels, and is in good spirits!"
This last sentence is really nonsense - listening to the cry of the little brother, you know that the spirit is definitely not the same.
Yinzhen was so happy that he teased his son for a long time, then sat on the bedside, letting Ji Ling lean on his arms, and asked the wet nurse to bring the little brother over to show Ji Ling.
Ji Ling saw that the little brother was waving his hands and kicking his legs, he was very powerful, and he was crying with his eyes closed. It was not like the third princess who had just given birth, and the skin all over her body was red - the little brother's skin was not that red.
Yinzhen looked at it for a long time and said, "It looks like me."
Ji Ling slowly turned her head, raised her face, and smiled at Yinzhen.
The third princess was also brought over to see her biological brother.
She grabbed the wet nurse's neck with one hand and stretched her head to look at her little brother, with an expression of surprise and curiosity.
After watching for a while, she stretched out her other hand and tentatively touched her little brother's wet head.
The wet nurse quickly stepped aside for a moment.
The queen was also notified at this time and rushed over from Kunning Palace.
Concubine Chen might give birth to an elder brother, and she had already been mentally prepared for this.
But when I heard someone report this with my own ears, it still felt different.
Ulanala was very sad all the way on Fengyu - they all said that the concubine was very lucky to have been favored by the emperor for so long.
But why does God treat Concubine Chen so kindly? Not only does she have three thousand dotes on her, but she also has a son and a daughter.
Such a blessing. How many people can be in the harem?
As soon as she entered the Chengqian Palace, the queen immediately changed her face and walked in with a spring breeze smile on her face. She happened to see the emperor giving rewards to the servants in the Chengqian Palace.
Uranala blessed the emperor and said with a smile: "The emperor is very happy! As soon as I heard the news, I came over quickly. Sister Chenbi, you have worked hard!"
Ji Ling was half lying on the bed, with a few cushions propped up behind his back. When he saw Ulanara coming in, he immediately bowed slightly and said, "Concubine, I'm sorry, please forgive me for not being able to get up to say hello."
Ulanara smiled and raised his hand, and was about to say "No." Yinzhen had already pressed Ji Ling's shoulders and said softly: "Don't move."
After all, she had just given birth and her body was still weak. As soon as Ji Ling leaned over, she immediately felt a little dizzy.
She closed her eyes, and Yinzhen saw it. He held her shoulders and let her lie down. He raised his hand and touched her forehead before saying in a deep voice: "Lingling, have a good rest."
He stood up and raised his hand to untie the bed curtain, only half of it was down, but the other half was not untied - so that the slaves could observe the master's situation at any time.
Yinzhen walked out of Nuange.
When he went out, Uranala followed him out, and heard the emperor say: "Chen concubine has done a good job in giving birth to the prince this time. It is the end of September, not a good day. I will ask the Qin Tianjian to choose an auspicious day in the next month, and seal the title.
Chen concubine is Chen concubine."
Uranala forced a smile and said: "Chen concubine has just given birth, and it will take time for her body to recover. If it is next month, I'm afraid it will be too hasty. The ceremony of conferring a concubine is complicated and complicated, how can Chen concubine's body hold up?
?”
She paused and said softly: "Your Majesty, why don't you ask Qin Tianjian to set the date after the winter solstice in December, so it would be easier here in Chengqian Palace. There should be no difference between these two months."
…
The imperial doctors went to Chengqian Palace in two shifts a day, one in the morning and one in the evening. In the blink of an eye, Ji Ling's confinement period had passed for more than ten days.
Ji Ling's postpartum meal was really bland, but she comforted herself: it was just right to lose weight.
Zhang Guiren basically came over to see her the next day. Ji Ling asked her, "Have I gained some weight?"
Zhang Guiren didn't want to lie to her, so he calmly comforted her: "Sister looks like this, she looks more blessed, don't worry."
Ji Ling actually understood without asking, but when Zhang Guiren hesitated to say the word "blessing", she still heard her own heartbroken voice.
Face the strong wind!
Now when she lowers her head, she can feel that she has a double chin, not to mention that when she smiles, her face can be pinched with flesh - this is simply a happy fatness that cannot be saved by ten pounds of contouring powder!
So as soon as she was pregnant, she decided to start a weight loss plan.
Qixi and Bixue both advised her not to worry - her master was originally on the thin side, but now he is not fat, but just right.
Bixue also gave an example: Of all the empresses in the palace who have given birth, which one is slim?
"Master, I am too thin to hold up my clothes and show my majesty." Bixue said plausibly.
Qixi said the same thing, and said that the master looks very good as he is now, neither fat nor thin, which is just right.
Only Grandma Chen looked at her master secretly with an expression of "I support you very much".
Then, after Qixi and Bixue went out, she said: "If you want to light yourself up, you must not be in a hurry. Do it little by little, and don't hurt your roots."
After finally giving birth, Ji Ling began to adjust her diet and increase exercise. Fortunately, she had a body that was prone to weight loss. After controlling her diet a little, her chin became visibly sharper day by day.
This time, with the presence of the little brother, the Nuan Pavilion suddenly became more lively. Qilin ran back and forth between the little brother and the third princess.
The third princess is now one and a half years old, almost two years old, but the little brother is a newborn, so he will inevitably cry day and night.
Fortunately, Xinuang Pavilion has been tidied up a long time ago, so that the third princess can have a place of her own when she grows up. Otherwise, it would be inconvenient for the emperor to come to stay overnight.
This was when her curiosity was at its strongest, and she would get up and take a look at anything she heard.
Ji Ling's weight loss plan was only halfway through, and the concubine's decree was issued, and the date was set for mid-December.
Even though everyone in the Chengqian Palace had a premonition, they were still overjoyed when the decree was actually carried out.
Ji Ling kowtowed and thanked her. After receiving the order, Grandma Chen helped her stand up.
Then a stream of concubine rewards were delivered. A dozen eunuchs came in in pairs, carrying many boxes, and finally there were the ceremonial ladies.
Like the last time when concubines were sealed, the etiquette procedures this time were also very cumbersome.
Besides, it was a concubine ceremony after all, so it was even more grand than the last time, with several more steps.
Ji Ling couldn't remember it at all, so she asked the ceremonial officer to come for several days. Fortunately, there was plenty of time, enough time for her to practice and memorize it.
The female officer comforted her and said, "My queen, don't worry. Someone will naturally remind you of the ceremony."
