After everything was tidied up, half an hour later, Concubine Chen's warm sedan chair was already waiting outside Linzhi Palace.
The nuns and wet nurses held the sixth elder brother and the third princess in their arms and followed Ji Ling out of Linzhi Palace.
The order of ancestor worship begins with Yongling, which is located at the foot of Qiyun Mountain in the northwest of Yongling Town, Xinbin, on the north bank of the Osprey River, more than twenty miles away from Yongling County, and quite a distance away from the Shengjing Palace.
So I had to change into a horse-drawn carriage and move forward.
When Ji Ling's warm sedan arrived at the gate of the palace, he saw that the carriages of the concubines were already waiting here. People from the Shengjing Internal Affairs Office were standing on both sides of the road, guiding the concubines to the way and instructing everyone to get on the carriage.
Seeing Concubine Chen's support coming from afar, people from the Shengjing Internal Affairs Office quickly stepped forward and signaled Concubine Chen's carriage to be driven over and waited beside the sedan.
Qixi helped Ji Ling get off the sedan. As soon as her feet landed on the ground, she took only two or three steps and seamlessly moved onto the carriage.
That carriage was the most magnificent and spacious one besides the emperor and empress' carriage, and there was more than enough space inside.
Mammy came up with the third princess and sixth brother in her arms.
The third princess was holding a basket in her hand, not forgetting to bring the puppy born by Qilin. She kept shouting all the way: "Mom, look at the puppy!"
Ji Ling nodded, took her little hand, lifted her up and sat down on the carriage seat. Bixue served and stuffed a small stool under the third princess's feet.
Ji Ling reached out and took the sixth brother from the wet nurse.
Brother Six is almost one year old now. He is growing rapidly and is quite heavy in his hands.
Ji Ling hugged her sixth brother on her knees and took a breath. She pinched the pudgy flesh on her son's face and heard the movement of the eunuchs singing outside. She lifted the corner of the carriage curtain and looked forward.
Seeing the bright yellow canopy of flags in front of him, the emperor set off slowly forward.
She was caught off guard and swayed slightly backward, and the carriage began to move.
The third princess took the puppy out of the basket and happily held it up and down in front of her chest, shouting: "Play! Go out and play!"
Ji Ling was frightened to death when he saw the little puppy being lifted up in the air. It struggled with all its legs and quickly said to the third princess: "Xi'er! Be gentle! This is Qilin's child."
You little girl, don't torture the puppy to death.
The third princess said "Oh" honestly, with a disappointed look on her face, but she still put the puppy down obediently, stuffed it back into the basket, and covered it with a quilt in a decent manner.
.patted the little puppy on the head again.
Then she moved her butt towards Ji Ling, her hands seemed to be restless, and started to pinch the sixth brother's face.
Of course, Sixth Brother wouldn't let her pinch him. He yelled, "Uh-huh!" He tilted his little head back and resisted desperately. He pulled the beads on Ji Ling's chest with one hand, and with the other hand, he fought against the third princess.
He swung around and almost hit Ji Ling's chin a few times.
The third princess screamed: "Eniang! My brother is beating me!"
Grandma Chen stretched out her arms and said quickly: "Master, let me hold it for you!"
The sixth elder brother burst into tears with a "wow" sound, and he was still crying loudly, with a loud cry that shook the sky.
Qixi also came over, half-coaxing, half-hugging, and helped the third princess up, letting her sit back on the carriage seat, and took away the small stool for her to stand on.
The third princess's two fat legs were suddenly hanging in the air, dangling under the seat like a swing.
After Qixi coaxed the third princess, she came over to straighten the collar of her court dress and adjust the position of her court beads.
Ji Ling raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, thinking that she must not be soft-hearted in the future. When the third princess grows up, the Jingqi sisters will still have to behave themselves.
No rules no standards.
The carriage rumbled along the road, and the autumn wind blew the carriage curtain at any time, and you could see that the scenery outside gradually became more green.
We have already left Shengjing City.
The officials of Yongling Town greeted the emperor early and waited until noon, when he finally arrived at the northwest of Yongling Town, Xinbin.
The carriage team slowly stopped.
Qiyun Mountain has arrived.
This is the mausoleum mountain on the back of Yongling Tomb. At the foot of the mountain is where Yongling Tomb is.
Ji Ling lifted the curtains and looked out.
The mountain in front of you is lush with trees and majestic. The northeast peaks of the mountain are undulating, like a dragon's tail swaying, and the other side is like a dragon's head, with its head raised and ready to fly. The dragon's head and tail are connected into one, just like a giant dragon hovering.
Generally in the mountains.
Halfway up the slope, the mountains are surrounded by mist, the clouds are hazy, and the deep mountains are quiet, making you forget all the customs.
Ji Ling listened carefully and could even hear the sound of waterfalls and springs in the mountains hitting the rocks. The sound was cold and chilly, making people feel calm and calm.
It is said that the original real name of this mountain was Qiao Mountain. As for "Qiyun Mountain", it was the name changed in the 8th year of Shunzhi reign.
That year, Emperor Shunzhi decreed that the mausoleums of the original emperor Zhaozu and Emperor Xingzuzhi of Xingjing should be designated as "Qiyun Mountain", and he sent Dorobeile Tun Qigu Mountain and Beizi Wu Dahai to Xingjing Mausoleum to announce the edict and pay homage to their ancestors.
The name "Qiyun Mountain" has been fixed since then and has been passed down to this day.
Seeing that the sun was noon, Ji Ling felt a little hungry when he touched his stomach.
She thought of the dumplings, twists, cakes, and cream and honey cakes she had eaten in the morning, and she immediately wished she could go back to Linzhi Palace and have another meal.
Unfortunately, the third princess made a fuss in the morning, and I didn't have time to have a proper breakfast.
Qixi didn't know where she came from, but she took out a small food box, handed it to Ji Ling with a smile, and said, "Master, are you hungry? Why don't you put some pastries first?"
Ji Ling was so happy that she took it and opened it. Inside was the cream and honey cake she wanted to eat. She turned around and asked the third princess: "Are Xi'er hungry?"
The third princess shook her head.
Ji Ling then put the cake into his mouth, and listened to the carriage procession outside taking a break, and the concubines were being helped out of the carriage.
She hurriedly stuffed another piece into her mouth, then patted the back of Qixi's hand and said quickly: "Put it away, let's get out of the car."
Qixi agreed, closed the food box neatly, thought for a moment, wrapped two pastries in a clean handkerchief, put them in her arms, and then helped Ji Ling get out of the car.
Behind Ji Ling's carriage happened to be Concubine Yu's car. As soon as she landed and stood firm, she saw that Concubine Yu had already stepped on a small stool and was being helped down by the servants. Her face was covered with the bumps of the carriage and horses along the way.
Constantly tired.
Concubine Yu looked up and saw Ji Ling looking at her, so she nodded lightly to Ji Ling.
Ji Ling turned his eyes and stared at the building in front of him.
The main characteristics of Yongling are that it "is located in the north and faces south, with the Shinto running through it, in the center facing the sun, and the central axis is not deviated."
In front of her, on the south side of Qiyun Mountain, was the main acupoint of the Dragon Vein where the wind faced the sun and nestled in the wind. This was the main hall of the Baoding.
The concubines followed the emperor in his battle and slowly walked south one by one according to their rank.
To the south is a straight "sacred road", which is also the central axis of the mausoleum - the Qiyun Gate and the main red gate. They are arranged in sequence from north to south according to the direction indicated by this axis, and each layer of arches protects the main hall.
