Ji Ling was pulled by Yinzhen and immediately fell into his warm embrace.
Yinzhen reached out and touched the back of her head, and said in a soft voice: "Lingling, after worshiping the ancestors, I will take you to relax. You will stay in the palace for the next few days."
As he spoke, he patted Ji Ling's back and said, "Don't worry."
Ji Ling reached out and hugged Yinzhen's waist. She didn't listen to what he said for a long time, then she hummed and looked up again, only to see that Yinzhen had closed his eyes and his breathing was gradually getting deeper.
Ji Ling raised her hand and touched Yinzhen's cheek, and said softly: "Your Majesty?"
Yinzhen hummed and moved his lips in a daze. Ji Ling leaned over and could only faintly hear Yinzhen saying the word "Hongshi". The following words to himself could no longer be heard clearly.
…
The next morning, after Yinzhen left Linzhi Palace, to his surprise, the third prince's brother Fu Jin came to see him.
When you go out, the etiquette is not as complicated as when you were in the capital.
When Ji Ling heard that her third elder brother's direct descendant, Fujin, wanted to see her, she was startled at first, and then thought of Yinzhen's drunkenness the night before, so she arranged for her to come to Linzhi Palace in the afternoon.
After lunch was over, Dong E, the third elder brother of Fujin Province, came.
This Dong E family is the daughter of Shangshu Silda. Next to the third elder brother, in addition to Dong E family, it is said that there is also a Gege Zhong family, Zhong Da's daughter. She is quite outstanding in appearance. It is said that she robbed Dong E family.
A lot of limelight.
Dong E was led by Qixi. After being brought in, she saluted Ji Ling and said hello. Ji Ling stepped forward and helped her up in person. She saw that Dong E had a round face, a small chin and a pudgy chin.
She has a small face that is so tender that it can squeeze out water, and her eyebrows have not yet grown, so she looks like she is thirteen or fourteen years old.
Although she was young, her every move was very calm and steady. I guess it was because her direct descendant Fujin was used to it, and her movements were extremely dignified and prudent. Ji Ling originally wanted to serve some candies and cakes like she did to Princess Shushen, but in the end she didn't
He only asked Qixi to brew two pots of Dongting Biluo and bring them over.
She looked at the Dong E family, and the Dong E family was also observing her - she heard that the Concubine Chen was extremely favored, and she had only seen it from a distance during the ceremony.
Mr. Dong E first complimented and exchanged greetings for a while, and then brought the topic to Mr. Zhong, the third elder brother's princess.
In fact, it was Grandma Chen who told Ji Ling the news about Zhong Gege being favored. Think about it, the gossip news that Zhong Gege was favored by this elder brother over his direct descendant Fujin could be spread to the harem. It can be seen that these three
It is true that my elder brother dotes on Mrs. Zhong in an unusual way.
Ji Ling listened to Dong E's talk - although she tried hard to restrain herself, she couldn't help wiping her tears with a handkerchief in the end and said: "Concubine Chen, you don't know the suffering I have suffered.
My elder brother has always wanted to be coaxed, and I am a stupid person. Although I love the third elder brother in my heart, I am not as good as Zhong Gege in coaxing the third elder brother to go to her every day..."
Ji Ling sat aside and listened, neither interrupting nor persuading.
She lowered her head and took a sip of hot tea, feeling slightly embarrassed.
It's true that Mr. Dong E said this when he came up. Doesn't he know that when people get along, the most taboo thing is to "communicate briefly and talk deeply"?
Not to mention, today was only the first time that she and Ji Ling were alone together.
When Ji Ling heard that she was still chattering, he simply interrupted her and said with a smile: "The third elder brother is still young, and San Fujin is the direct descendant, so there is no need to worry."
Her words were just a casual word of comfort, but when Dong E heard it, her heart moved.
Yes! Why did you forget it? No matter how favored Concubine Chen is, she is just a concubine and a "concubine" - just like Zhong Gege.
Here she blindly talks about Zhong Gege's fault as a direct descendant of Fujin.
Concubine Chen heard this and didn’t know what she would think!
The look on Dong E's face showed when he hesitated like this.
She bit her lip, not daring to make any more fuss about it, and quickly said the rest of her words.
It turned out that Zhong's father, named Zhong Da, had a distant relative in the family. Zhong Gege relied on Zhong Gege to gain favor with his third elder brother. As a result, he caused trouble in the capital and killed someone.
Unexpectedly, the other party was also from a prominent official family in the capital, and the person who died was an old and only child. His parents looked at him as if they were his lifeblood. They were filled with grief and anger and filed a complaint with the government.
The witnesses and physical evidence were all confirmed. This distant relative was usually arrogant. This time when he encountered a hard piece of wood, he wanted to use money to push it down, but the victim refused to agree and kept crying out that he would kill to pay for it.
Having no other choice, the relative found Zhong Da.
Zhong Da was a person with a good face and a sense of loyalty. He immediately patted his chest and assured that his daughter was now very favored by the third elder brother. He handed over this matter in one sentence and asked the third elder brother to tap a little below and give instructions.
As long as the emperor's brother is here, no one dares to touch that relative.
As a result, Zhongda wrote a letter to his daughter.
After receiving the letter from Zhong Gege, he immediately went to beg the third elder brother.
The third elder brother already regarded her as a treasure, so how could he not agree? He immediately ordered his subordinates to find out the name of the relative, so that they could be counted in the Yamen and mediate.
At this point, the matter should have ended. Unexpectedly, Zhongda moved a little slower and took some time to write a letter to his daughter. The relative only thought that he was just talking big words and couldn't do it. He was afraid that he would really do it.
After falling into prison, he found another way out.
By coincidence, the person he was looking for was the person brought out by Prince An Yue Le.
Prince An was the father of Fujin, the eighth prince of the Kangxi Dynasty.
Although Prince An Yue Le has passed away, he has brought out many capable talents.
When Dong E said this, he stopped talking, but Ji Ling understood it in a roundabout way - in this way, the third elder brother interceded on this person's behalf, and the people under Wang Yuele of Anqing also came.
After wandering around for him and getting entangled for a while, Yinzhen was extremely suspicious, so he would inevitably suspect that the third elder brother had some dealings with his eighth uncle.
As Dong E spoke, his face gradually turned pale, and he sobbed in a low voice: "Concubine Chen, although this is the first time I've been alone with you, she is gentle and peaceful, which makes me always want to say what's in my heart.
come out!
It’s not like I haven’t reminded the third elder brother on weekdays - Zhong Gege is not a trouble-free person. Sooner or later he will cause trouble, not to mention killing someone to pay for his life. This principle is also true. He is the emperor’s elder brother, let alone go to this place.
Muddy water. But now I am right. I am only afraid that Emperor Ama will treat Third Brother..."
When she said this, she couldn't say any more. She stood up and knelt down in front of Ji Ling: "Concubine Chen!"
Ji Ling was startled, and quickly got up to help her up, and then ordered the maid next to her: "Get San Fujin a basin of hot water to wash his face."
Dong E held Ji Ling's hand and stood up, whispering: "Concubine Chen, you are the most favored in the Emperor's Arma. Now that I saw the appearance last night, the Emperor's Arma may be suspicious of San'a."
Brother, this is really a huge injustice, I beg you, Concubine Chen, to help Third Brother explain a few words in front of Emperor Ama!"
