Three hundred and fiftieth chapters six elder brothers named
In the twinkling of an eye, Ji Ling's little elder brother has reached the age of 100. Yinzhen personally named him Hongxin and ranked sixth.
Because Concubine Chen was favored and Chengqian Palace was the residence of Concubine Chen, some people privately called Sixth Elder Brother Chengqian Palace Elder Brother.
He wrote these two words on the paper with ink dripping. Ji Ling turned her head to look at it and heard Fourth Master touch her head and said with a smile: "This is a good name."
Ji Ling said: "What does this word mean?"
Yinzhen patiently explained a few words to her.
He would drop his book bag whenever it was time to name someone, and Ji Ling felt dizzy listening to those docile words.
She kept nodding.
Finally, he pinched her face, glanced around, and said with a smile: "You just don't understand if you don't understand. I'm not laughing at you."
Ji Ling was immediately embarrassed when Fourth Master saw through it. He tugged at Fourth Master's sleeve and shook it, then reached out and took a piece of Qibao Ruyi Golden Chestnut pastry next to him and fed it to him.
The pastries were cut into long and thin strips and laid out on a green porcelain plate. They were neatly arranged in the cabinet. There were osmanthus stamens sprinkled on top, which looked really beautiful. There was also a plate of honey on the side. When eating, you need to put the pastries on the plate.
Dip in medium.
Ji Ling fed him, and Yinzhen also smiled and ate, feeling that Lingling was now more and more comfortable in front of him.
Ji Ling himself also took a piece of pastry and put it into his mouth - it is really hard to lose weight these days. While the fourth master is here, let's have a little feast and continue to lose weight tomorrow!
The sixth elder brother was held by the wet nurse. Ji Ling took it over. Yinzhen put a patch on his son's little face. Listening to the little humming voice that the sixth elder brother unconsciously made, his heart almost softened.
At Kunning Palace, Queen Uranala was shocked when she heard the name the emperor gave to her brother in Chengqian Palace.
Hongxin, Hongxin...
Xin——Dan means going out tomorrow.
"Xin" refers to the time when the sun is about to rise.
The "Book of Rites" also mentions the "Daxin Dynasty".
This word also means bright.
Compared with the names of the third elder brother and the fifth elder brother, this rather powerful and profound word "Xin" really makes people think a lot.
In Concubine Yu's palace, when she heard Sixth Brother's name, she didn't react at first. After she found out what it meant, her heart skipped a beat - Xin, he will be out tomorrow.
When the sun rises, who will it shine on?
Such a baby!
…
The sixth elder brother was born at the end of September. At the end of December, three months passed and it happened to be the 100-day feast.
It seemed that God was willing to cooperate - there was rain and snow in the days before and after the Sixth Prince's Hundred Days Banquet, but on the day of the banquet, the sun shone brightly.
The 100-day banquet was very lively. In the Chengqian Palace, there were lanterns and colorful decorations, and there were mountains of rewards. Everyone came to congratulate her. They all said that Concubine Chen was blessed, and the elder brother of Chengqian Palace was even more blessed.
After three months, Brother Six gradually became whiter and whiter.
The third princess's skin is already fair, but when compared next to the sixth prince, she just disappears from everyone.
Ji Ling covered her face: You are a young man, so white...why don't you give it to your sister instead?
She could tell at a glance - she estimated that her son would be a cold and fair-skinned young man when he grew up.
When the two siblings hug each other, they look like two jade dumplings, one big and one small.
The appearance of the third princess combines the advantages of the fourth master and Ji Ling. On her face, especially when she is unhappy, you can often see a flash of her father's expression.
She looks like her mother when she smiles.
But the sixth elder brother is exactly the same as Yinzhen.
The third princess went to stagger down next to the crib and stretched out her hand to tease her brother through the fence.
Qilin followed the third princess, being careful not to get too close, but wagging his tail to watch the third princess teasing the sixth elder brother.
Ji Ling looked at it and choked back a laugh - Xi'er was just a little baby herself, and she was serious about imitating adults to tease dolls.
The sixth brother was teased by her for a long time, spitting bubbles, then waved his little hand angrily, looked up and opened his sister's hand.
He was only three months old and was not very vocal yet. He could only make a few babbling sounds occasionally, and then he couldn't make any sound after holding it in for a long time.
Ji Ling laughed while holding her belly, and asked the wet nurse to take the third princess away - after all, the third princess was still young and not sensible, and the sixth brother was just a baby in his infancy.
It's okay when someone is watching over her, and it doesn't matter if she teases Brother Six.
But if the third princess formed the habit of teasing the sixth elder brother at any time, it would be bad if one day her hands were careless and she hurt the sixth elder brother.
What she and Yinzhen fought for was that the sixth elder brother could be raised in Chengqian Palace until he was three years old. After he was brought to study and learn riding and shooting, he could no longer be kept by his mother's side.
"I am doing this for the sake of my sixth brother." Yinzhen said to Ji Ling sincerely.
It doesn't matter that the third princess is a delicate girl anyway, but if the sixth elder brother is kept by E Niang's side, there is no guarantee that his progress will not be delayed because of his mother's love.
Ji Ling nodded obediently, but secretly thought in his heart: Anyway, there are still three years left.
In the twelfth lunar month, the flavor of the New Year is strong. From the 19th of the twelfth lunar month, the Forbidden City has basically entered a state of preparation for the New Year.
From the 21st of the twelfth lunar month, when Yinzhen entered and exited the Yangxin Palace and other palaces, the eunuchs would fire off firecrackers every time he passed through the palace to show his happiness.
On the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, couplets and door gods are posted in various palaces.
The weather was sunny, and the sun shone on the red walls and yellow tiles of the Forbidden City, creating a dazzling reflection.
Little Yoko stepped on the ladder and posted couplets at the entrance of Chengqian Palace. The palace gate was deep and wide, and the couplets were as tall as a person.
Xiao Kezi helped him look left and right, up and down, and kept making noises to adjust.
Xiao Fenzi looked at Chengqian Palace from top to bottom.
At this time, all the brocades in the warehouse were taken out, and the walls of the courtyard were tied up. Together with the dozen or so pots of colorful and dazzling jewelery bonsais, they were all taken out.
Ji Ling was still worried that it would be too eye-catching, so she asked Qixi to put these bonsais in the greenhouse for decoration.
Qixi put the bonsai in place, took a few steps back, looked at the position, and adjusted it a few times, then smiled and thought to herself that now the master has the third princess and the sixth elder brother. In the Forbidden City, there is no more status.
No one can shake it.
When I think about the time when I used to work for a long time, it feels like a lifetime ago.
On the 30th of the twelfth lunar month, watermelons from Taiwan arrived as tribute—these watermelons were grown in Taiwan with melon seeds specially gifted by the imperial court.
After the melon seeds were sent to Fujian from Yuci, Shanxi, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang and the governor of Fujian sent special personnel to Taiwan to plant them.
After a four-month growth period, usually around the Spring Festival, when the melons are ripe and fall off the stems, local officials will carefully select them and send them to the Forbidden City.
The taste of this watermelon is different from ordinary ones. It is extremely sweet and has very few seeds. When you bite it, the clear and sweet juice flows to your mouth.
It is simply the Qing Palace version of seedless watermelon.
Ji Ling restrained herself and took two or three slices before putting them down. She still remembered that Dr. Di once said that watermelon is "natural white tiger soup" and is sweet in taste and cold in nature. Women should not eat too much.
