Ji Ling silently calculated the distance from Shengjing to the capital - this was very different from traveling from the Forbidden City to the Old Summer Palace.
She asked Yinzhen: "When will the emperor come back?"
Yinzhen heard the nostalgia in her voice and knew that she might have misunderstood. He suddenly wanted to tease her, so he didn't say it plainly, but simply asked: "Do you want to go?"
Ji Ling was a little embarrassed when he saw through his thoughts, and asked him sarcastically: "Can you bring someone with you?"
Yinzhen glanced at her from the corner of his eyes, and when he saw her looking at him intently, he suppressed his laughter and said calmly: "No."
The light in Ji Ling's eyes suddenly dimmed, and she whispered: "Oh."
After she said "Oh", she closed her mouth, stopped talking, and lay down flat. After a while, she turned her back to the inside and said dullly: "Your Majesty, please come back soon. Both Xi'er and Hongxin will miss you."
.”
Yinzhen couldn't hold back his laughter, so he reached out to pull her shoulders, turned her around, and said with a smile: "Xi'er and Hongxin miss me, what about you?"
Ji Ling closed her eyes tightly, shook her head and said, "I don't want to."
Yinzhen reached out and pinched her waist and said, "Really?"
Ji Ling immediately begged for mercy: "I want it! I want it!"
She laughed for a while, finally calmed down, and gently pulled the thin quilt around her neck. She said in a low voice: "It's useless to think about it."
Yinzhen raised his hand and touched her hair and said, "You didn't even say anything, how do you know it's useless?"
Ji Ling's eyes lit up when he heard these words.
She turned around and hugged Fourth Master's arm, shaking him back and forth: "Can you take me there?"
Yinzhen looked at her with a smile, pinched her cheek, took her into his arms again, and explained to her patiently: "Lingling, Shengjing is the founding capital of the country, the place of Longxing, and the tomb of the ancestors.
When Huang Kao was still alive, he also visited the east many times to pay homage to his ancestors. This time I am going to personally preside over the sacrificial ceremony, first at Yongling, then at Fuling, and finally at Zhaoling, to pay homage to our ancestors. This is a grand event."
This trip to Shengjing was of great significance - it was the first time he went to accompany the capital after he ascended the throne, stabilized the situation, pacified the northwest, and promoted the New Deal.
He talked eloquently and finally said that the concubines, elder brother, princess, and some civil and military officials would follow.
Ji Lingxin said it earlier!
The Fourth Master is so bad, he just tricked her into begging him like a baby.
It seems that I won’t be staying in the Old Summer Palace this year.
I remember that when I left last time, Tiandi Family Spring had just been renovated.
She stretched out her hand to hook Yinzhen's sleeve under the quilt and said softly: "Xi'er must be very happy to be able to go out now - this little girl is usually very happy to go to the imperial garden, let alone Shengjing!
"
Yinzhen couldn't help but smile when he thought of his daughter's two chubby legs, exploring the inside and outside of the courtyard all day long, and said: "Children should go out for more walks. Xi'er is still too young now, so stay behind.
She and Hongxin are older, and I want to take them out."
He slowly talked about the future scene, and Ji Ling listened with longing. After a while, she suddenly seemed to have thought of some important question, turned over, lay on Yinzhen's chest, and asked him: "Your Majesty, go
After leaving Shengjing, where will I, Xi'er and Hongxin live?"
Yinzhen:……
Looking at the expression on his face, Ji Ling knew that she had asked a stupid question, so she turned over again and tugged on his sleeve to silence him.
The two of them talked for a while. Seeing that the night was getting deeper and deeper, Yinzhen said: "Go to sleep. There is no need to rush to this moment. The day of the eastward patrol is still a month away."
Yinzhen has always been slow to fall asleep, and his sleep is not deep and he wakes up easily.
Ji Ling's sleep quality was much higher than his.
She put her arms around Yinzhen's waist and fell asleep on his shoulder with a carefree look on her face.
Under the quiet and hazy moonlight, Yinzhen turned his head slightly, stared at Lingling's carefree face, raised his hand and gently pushed her bangs behind her ears.
When Ji Ling woke up in the morning, there was no one around. Evian came in and said, "Master, are you awake? The emperor left early today, and the servants are not allowed to make any noise, for fear of disturbing your rest."
Ji Ling watched her come in. She didn't see Bixue, and she was still a little unaccustomed to it. She was stunned for a moment before she remembered that she had now gradually handed over the responsibility of keeping the night watch in the back hall to Qixi and Yiyun, replacing the previous ones.
Bishue.
She rubbed her eyes, stretched, and then said, "I'm hungry. Please let the dining room serve breakfast."
Evian said softly: "Master, do you want to wait a little longer? You still have to wait for time to wash up. Breakfast is served early - I'm afraid it will be cold by then!"
Qixi walked in while touching the things for washing, and said with a smile: "It's a good thing for Evian to be careful, but you also have to check what kind of day it is - the weather in August, where will it be cold?"
As she said this, she walked up to Ji Ling. Evian smiled sheepishly and stepped forward to help Qixi.
After a while, after serving Ji Ling, she washed up and put on the clothes she wore daily in the Nuan Pavilion. Ji Ling first put some makeup on her face and went to the front hall to take a look at the sixth elder brother and the third princess.
On the way back to the back hall, she said to Qixi: "Today is the day to go to Kunning Palace to pay my respects. Hurry up and comb my hair in a simple way. After breakfast, we will go out."
Qixi helped her cross the threshold of the back hall, and while responding, she said: "Master, watch your step."
When he returned to the warm pavilion in the back hall, he saw that the sun had risen a little higher. He quickly combed his hair and Ji Ling put on light makeup.
She estimated that the Queen would definitely talk about the Emperor's eastward tour to Shengjing when she paid her respects today. Since she was on the list, she was afraid that the Queen would pay attention to her again.
So she didn't even use eyeliner to make her eyes less charming, and only added weight to her eyelashes to make her eyes look brighter.
In addition, she also painted the small triangular area at the edge of the eyebrow in detail - this is a position that is easily overlooked in light makeup, but it is very important. As long as the hair flow in this area is deepened, it will immediately echo with the pupils.
It makes people's eyes brighter and clearer.
After her makeup was done, Ji Ling changed into a gray-pink flag dress. There was a small plum blossom pattern on the hem of the flag dress. She wore a gray-pink pearl hairpin on her temples. The flower branches slanted out from the side and hung down from the bottom.
The light pink pearl string sways as it moves.
As soon as she left the Chengqian Palace gate, she saw that Concubine Chen's carriage had been prepared and waiting at the door.
Ji Ling was helped to sit on the shoulder carriage and headed to Kunning Palace, hugging each other.
Someone opened the way in front, and there were several eldest palace maids and Xiao Fenzi protecting them. There were people behind carrying the odds and ends that Concubine Chen might use on her way.
The group of people headed to Kunning Palace.
When they arrived at Kunning Palace, they saw that people had already arrived. Xi Bi and she bumped into each other at the door, just in front of and behind her.
Concubine Xi came forward and saluted her: "Concubine, I would like to say hello to Concubine Chen. May Concubine Chen be blessed with peace of mind!"
Ji Ling stepped forward and helped Xi Bin up with her own hands.
