In the Forbidden City, there are always two people on duty at the gates of each of the twelve east and west palaces in the Forbidden City. According to the rules, there are always two people on duty.
When the two eunuchs saw the emperor entering, they hurriedly sang the news loudly. Yinzhen strode in all the way, climbed the steps, and was caught in the main hall. A second-class palace maid opened the curtain at the door of Nuan Pavilion and paid greetings to the emperor.
, let him in.
Ji Ling just happened to hold the third princess's hand and welcome her out together.
The two people happened to be face to face and bumped into each other. Ji Ling took the fourth master's hand with a smile and said: "Your Majesty."
When she spoke, she was panting slightly. It was obvious that she had laughed so hard just now. Her palms were still warm and she was slightly sweating.
The light in the Nuan Pavilion was dim, and before Yinzhen had time to see clearly, he felt someone suddenly hugging his waist. He lowered his head and saw the third princess reaching out to pull the purse on her waist, and said with a smile: "Ama!"
Ji Ling turned around with a smile and corrected her: "Xi'er, it's 'Huang Ama'!"
The third princess raised her hand to wipe the saliva from the corner of her mouth and said: "Oh... Huang Ama!"
Only a faint palace lantern was lit symbolically in the Nuan Pavilion. The moonlight filtered in through the window panes, making the Nuan Pavilion extremely elegant. The fragrance of pear blossoms from the backyard floated in faintly.
Yinzhen bent down and picked up the third princess in his arms. He kissed his daughter hard on the face a few times, then held Ji Ling's hand with one hand and scolded softly: "You are not sleeping, what are you doing in the dark?
I can hear you laughing from so far away."
Ji Ling said with a smile: "I'm playing hide and seek with Xi'er!"
Yinzhen:……
The third princess held up a large gray-green palm leaf that came from nowhere and covered it above her head. Then she pushed back a few steps, hid in the corner, and said softly: "Huang Ama, you can't see me!"
Ji Ling couldn't hold it in any longer, so she let go of Yinzhen's hand, covered her stomach and bent over, laughing out loud.
She had just played hide-and-seek with her daughter, and several times she pretended not to see her in order to make her daughter happy.
As a result, my daughter somehow grabbed a rice dumpling leaf in her hand - she probably mistakenly thought that this palm leaf had an invisibility function.
Yinzhen stepped forward and hugged the third princess.
The third princess said with a disappointed look on her face, took the little chubby hand, gently hit Huang Ama on the shoulder and asked: "Huang Ama, have you seen me?"
Yinzhen turned around and looked at Ji Ling dumbfounded: "Is this how you play hide-and-seek with her?"
Ji Ling nodded.
As if she remembered something, the third princess suddenly put down the rice dumpling leaf and turned around to offer a treasure. She quickly took out a puppy from the kennel and handed it to her Emperor Ama with both hands: "Huang Ama, dog!
"
Yinzhen smiled, glanced at the puppy patiently, then touched her head, and said in a very gentle voice: "Okay, Xi'er, be good, go to bed."
The third princess shook her head like a rattle: "Eat cake!"
There is also hot snow cloud cake on the dining table. Each piece is made like light snow clouds. It is sweet, soft and glutinous, with no debris in it. When you bite it, you will be filled with the sweetness and natural aroma of glutinous rice.
Ji Ling fed the third princess a small piece of snow cloud cake. The third princess ate it happily, then smiled at E Niang and said, "Thank you very much!"
Seeing this, Yinzhen couldn't help but laugh - he didn't even need to ask, he knew that this "Thank you" must have come from the third princess of Lingling Church.
These two are simply two children, one big and one small.
The third princess finished eating the cakes, hugged the puppy, and was taken out of Xinuang Pavilion by her wet nurse and nanny.
As soon as she went out, the room suddenly became quiet.
Ji Ling picked up the snow cloud cake on the table and said to Yinzhen: "Your Majesty, please try it too. This is delicious. It was too hot when it was first taken out of the pan. Now the temperature is just right."
Yinzhen didn't want to eat it at first, but seeing her face as if she was offering a treasure, he couldn't bear to refuse, so he picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
Ji Ling stretched out his head and asked him: "How is it? Is it delicious?"
Yinzhen didn't answer, just patted the back of her hand, looked at her as if he were prey, licked her at last, and said meaningfully: "Put it in earlier."
He is quite capable of tossing around these days, and Ji Ling is sometimes afraid of it - it's such a sweet burden.
When she heard Fourth Master say this, her eyes widened subconsciously for a moment.
However, Yinzhen smiled slightly, and he called the servants to come in. After washing, the two of them changed into clean clothes and lay on the bed.
Yinzhen stretched out his hand to take her into his arms and placed a kiss on her forehead. The kiss gradually deepened and became somewhat predatory.
Ji Ling could only close her eyes and gently grab the fourth master's sleeve with one hand.
After a while, Fourth Master made no move.
She opened her eyes and saw Yinzhen looking at her. Seeing her eyes open, he reached out and touched her cheek, whispering: "Lingling."
Ji Ling raised her head to look at him.
The bed curtain was not completely untied, and the moonlight came in through the gauze and shone on Yinzhen's face, showing the edge of a halo.
Ji Ling looked at it for a while, and suddenly felt: four years have passed, and the fourth master's appearance has not changed at all, he is still as good-looking as ever.
The Fourth Master is the type with good skin and bones - a face with well-matched facial features, especially the eyebrows and eyes, with sharp and smooth lines, full and round forehead bones, and a high nose bridge.
The line of the mandible is also very clean and beautiful, giving it a masculine look without being overly powerful.
For this type, even if the skin changes with the passage of time, the bones can still maintain the temperament.
However, the strange thing is that the Fourth Master's face has not changed at all from when they first met four years ago.
It's really nothing at all.
Even Qixi, Bixue, and Ji Ling can see the changes in their skin condition with the naked eye. These are just two palace maids - the ones who serve closely and don't have to do rough work, their skin condition will become looser.
What's more, what about the fourth master who has so many things to do and is exhausted every day and still stays up late?
Yinzhen saw Lingling staring at him, looking stupid. Then he raised his hand and patted the back of her head gently and said, "Be obedient and sleep well."
Ji Ling responded, got into the crook of Yinzhen's shoulder, and smelled the familiar scent of his body - the scent of sinking water that she had been accustomed to for four years. At the moment when she had already fallen into sleep, she suddenly felt
Then I heard Yinzhen say: "In late August, I will go to Shengjing."
Ji Ling woke up immediately, grabbed Yinzhen's hand under the quilt and said, "Sheng Jing?"
She knew that the location of Shengjing was probably the current Shenyang City in Liaoning Province, which was the capital of the Qing Dynasty before the Qing Dynasty entered the customs. During the Zhu Yuanzhang period, the Shenyang Zhongwei was established in Shenyang.
In the sixth year of Tianming, Nurhaci occupied Shenyang, moved the capital of Hou Jin from Liaoyang to Shenyang, and built a royal palace here.
After Nurhachi's death, Huang Taiji ascended the throne. From then on, Shenyang had another name called Shengjing.
Later, after Emperor Shunzhi, who loved the country more than beauty, moved the capital to Beijing, Shenyang became the remaining capital.
According to Ji Ling's understanding - the relationship between Shenyang and Beijing at this time is a bit like the relationship between Beijing and Nanjing after Ming Taizu Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing.
