Ji Ling casually picked out the thinnest Heart Sutra and flipped to the last page. He saw a row of small characters that read, "On the 18th day of the third month of the 18th month of the 18th century in the fifty-seventh year of Kangxi's reign, the minister Yinzhen wrote this letter to
Yuhua Pavilion".
Ji Ling was startled - in the fifty-seventh year of Kangxi's reign, Yinzhen was still a prince.
Was this copied for Emperor Kangxi?
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, writing and engraving scriptures was extremely popular. From the imperial city to the homes of ordinary scholars, there were people studying Buddhism and copying scriptures.
The three emperors of the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong, even chose scriptures and wrote them in their spare time. They returned to their original nature in Buddhism and sought peace of mind. They also longed to understand the principles of harmonizing the family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world from the Buddhist scriptures.
Great wisdom, great understanding.
So when Yinzhen was the prince, he must have copied many scriptures for his emperor, and it is said that Kangxi in history always praised his fourth elder brother for his calligraphy.
Ji Ling covered her mouth and smiled secretly.
She suddenly became energetic, and went back to read all the scriptures on the bookshelf, only to find that they were all the handwriting of the fourth master - the handwriting was elegant and elegant, which was different from the current fourth master's powerful and majestic handwriting.
In comparison, he is a bit more restrained and modest.
If Yinzhen hadn't taught her to write step by step, she really wouldn't have noticed.
Ji Ling had a thought in her mind and turned to the back. She saw several scriptures with these words at the back: "Written in Yuhua Pavilion."
Yuhua Pavilion...
These three words look very familiar.
An idea flashed in her mind and she thought about it.
In the third year of Yongzheng's reign, during the Hungry Ghost Festival, all the concubines followed the emperor and put up river lanterns in the imperial garden. This coincided with Haishi's attempt to regain his favor, which was self-defeating and made the emperor even more disgusted.
After that day, Yinzhen took him to Yuhua Pavilion in the Forbidden City in a small sedan.
He also took her to the second floor - a forbidden place where no one could go except the emperor himself.
Yes, Ji Ling remembered the name of that building, it was called Yuhua Pavilion.
…
The morning passed quickly. Ji Ling was tinkering with cosmetics, studying the color of clothes and matching jewelry, and half a day passed before he knew it.
After lunch, she went to take a good nap.
She woke up early. She got up without calling anyone, rubbed her eyes, put on her clothes, and walked through the wind and rain corridor to see the third princess.
In the Xinuan Pavilion, the third princess was lying on her back, with her arms stretched out from the quilt, sleeping in a "big" shape.
It was spring now, with flowers blooming and faint fragrance floating around. The third princess was covered with a thin quilt, which was tucked up to her chin.
Ji Ling gently pulled her little hand, and felt that her hand was warm and full of sweat. She was shocked - don't have a fever!
Ji Ling immediately reached out and touched her daughter's forehead.
The temperature is normal.
She pinched the quilt carefully again - it turned out that this small quilt was not thin at all.
The third princess was still sleeping soundly, and unconsciously held E Niang's hand in her sleep.
"Since the princess is hot, you can't just cover her up. She should change her quilt when it's time to change it. After all, the weather is heading towards summer. If she keeps covering herself with the quilt and is sweating all the time, she can wait until she goes out to play in the afternoon and the wind blows.
What should I do if I get cold?"
Ji Ling put away the smile on his face and said seriously.
Grandma Chen originally wanted to make a few excuses, but when she raised her head, she saw that the usual gentle smile on Concubine Chen's face was gone, and she immediately became dignified.
The wet nurse next to her was so panicked that she knelt down - she no longer breastfed, and she also started spanking Nanny Chen.
The dressings assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs are different from those of the nanny, especially the wet nurses who serve the princess - as soon as the princess is weaned, all the wet nurses have to be sent back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
People like her who can stay in Concubine Chen's palace and serve her temporarily are already envied by many people.
The wet nurse kowtowed and said, "You deserve to die! What I taught you is that the slave only wants to prevent the princess from catching a cold!"
Ji Ling bent down and helped her up personally, and continued: "The princess is only two years old. There are many things that she can't explain clearly in her mouth. Every move can only be "said" by body movements. For example, the seasons are changing now, the cold is
You have to pay attention to these things when you are hot, thirsty or hungry. You are a person selected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so there is no need to elaborate on these details."
She paused, looked at the wet nurse, and said: "You don't have to panic. I left you in Chengqian Palace, firstly because the princess relies on you, and secondly because I feel that you are dedicated to the princess.
It's just that when it comes to things in this world, you usually go all out at the beginning, and then gradually relax over time - I hope you won't let the princess down or let me down."
The wet nurse kowtowed in shame and said, "I'm the slave who didn't realize it! Let the Queen worry about it!"
Ji Lingfang softened his voice and said with a slight smile: "Okay, that's all. Do your job well and I won't treat you badly."
She raised her head, glanced at Nanny Chen again, and said to Nanny Chen, "There's no need to talk about it, Nanny."
Grandma Chen agreed several times.
After watching the three princesses, Ji Ling turned to Dongnuang Pavilion.
In the Nuan Pavilion, Brother Six was sleeping soundly. The wet nurse was supporting her head with her elbows. She was also leaning her head little by little next to the crib.
When she heard the movement, she trembled and immediately opened her eyes. Seeing that it was Concubine Chen who came in, she quickly stood up and knelt down and said: "I would like to say hello to Concubine Chen. May Concubine Chen be blessed!"
Evian also came over to salute.
Ji Ling glanced at Evian, feeling a little strange, and said: "Why is it you? Where is Bixue?"
She had already established a rule that when the wet nurse was breastfeeding Brother Six, there must be a maid watching beside her.
Evian is a first-class maid, but not a grand maid, so the so-called grand maids are actually Qixi and Bixue.
In the past month, Qixi has been busy taking care of her new home and taking care of her sixth brother, so Ji Ling assigned Bixue.
At this moment, seeing his master coming to ask, Evian looked very embarrassed, saying it was not the case, and not saying it was the case.
Ji Ling raised her head and said to the wet nurse: "Go down."
When the wet nurse walked out, Ji Ling stared at Evian and said, "Bixue wants you to take her place?"
Yiyun quickly shook her head. Seeing her master asking such a question, she had no choice but to answer. Her face turned red and she had to say: "It's the slave who is bold. I passed by and didn't see Sister Bixue.
I am worried that the sixth elder brother is alone, and think about the rules that the master once ordered - when the sixth elder brother and the wet nurse are alone, they must be guarded by someone from Chengqian Palace. So I..."
Ji Ling finally understood and said, "Get up."
Evian immediately stood up.
Ji Ling nodded and said, "If you have this intention, it's fine. There's no need to panic."
Yiyun raised his head and saw that Concubine Chen's master was still smiling at him, and his heart finally fell to the ground.
"Master!" Qixi's voice came from outside. Seeing Ji Ling here, she hurried in with a robe in her hand and said, "Let this slave have a good meal!"
Ji Ling raised her hand to stop the clothes she was about to put on her body, and asked, "Have you seen Bixue?"
Qixi looked at the situation in the room and saw Yiyun's expression. She already understood most of it and came over. She nodded and said, "I will go look for it now."
