Yinzhen took her and sat down under the flower tree.
The stone bench was slightly cool, so Qixi quickly raised her hand to call for the little palace maid to follow her, spread the soft cushions for the emperor and his master, and then waved his hands to the surrounding servants to get out of the way.
The two of them sat down under the flower tree. When they looked up, they saw an apricot-yellow crescent moon moving slowly through the clouds and mist. Its faint moonlight shone on the glazed tiles of the Forbidden City.
Yinzhen looked at it for a moment, then suddenly said suddenly: "I don't think it's until the Chinese New Year - the past few years have really passed by so fast, year after year... I didn't even notice it, it just passed by."
Ji Ling heard the melancholy in his words, so she smiled, and changed the topic nonchalantly: "No! You wouldn't realize it if you didn't look at the children. Hongxin and Xi'er are growing up very fast, and the four of us are growing up very fast."
I just prepared the winter coat for Xi'er a few months ago, and now I'm trying it on, and the sleeves on both sides are a little cramped."
When Yinzhen heard her mention her daughter, a faint smile appeared on her face.
Ji Ling saw this smile on his face, and suddenly felt much relieved.
She also laughed.
Yinzhen held her hand in his palm, lowered his head and pinched her wrist, then looked at Lingling who was smiling a bit silly in front of him, and suddenly said: "Lingling has lost weight."
Ji Ling subconsciously said: "What?"
Yinzhen held her wrist and said quietly: "I can feel it."
Ji Ling thought for a while, then smiled and flicked her wrist, raised her eyebrows and said, "I've deliberately eaten less these days! It's the Chinese New Year, and I have to go out in various situations and meet a lot of people, so naturally I have to eat less.
nice."
Yinzhen quietly looked at the smiling face of the person in front of him who was trying to make himself happy.
He suddenly put his arms around Ji Ling's waist and pulled her into his arms.
The two of them entered the back hall.
The third princess had already fallen asleep, but when she heard some noise, she guessed that it was Huang Ama who was coming. She rubbed her eyes, put on her clothes and walked all the way to the back hall. Nanny could only chase after her.
When they arrived in front of the Nuan Pavilion in the back hall, they saw Qixi guarding the door, holding it tightly.
Seeing the third princess coming, Qixi quickly knelt down and coaxed softly: "Third princess, it's so late, why don't you go to bed?"
Nanny came up with a cloak and wrapped the third princess tightly so that no wind could blow in. She also half coaxed and half begged: "Princess, young master, will you go back with Nanny? Ah? You are running around like this.
Go, it’s not fun to be freezing at night!”
The third princess rolled her eyes, pointed at Nuan Ge and said, "Is Huang Ama talking to E Niang?"
Qixi smiled awkwardly and said, "As for the princess, that's not the case! Your Majesty is talking to the Emperor right now."
The third princess looked at the closed door of the pavilion, but she still didn't go in.
She rubbed her hands, feeling slightly disappointed. She turned around and muttered, "It's been a while since Emperor Ama came to see my brother and I."
After the third princess left, in the Nuan Pavilion, Ji Ling couldn't help but raise her hands to cover her mouth to hold back her laughter. She held it in for a long time, but when she couldn't hold it back, she burst out laughing.
Yinzhen raised his hand and touched her hair and patted her head gently. He felt that his depression was slightly relieved, and he also said with a smile: "The children are still small now, so they will naturally stick to you. When they grow up, what do you think?"
It won’t even stick to them!”
Ji Ling said nothing and lay quietly in Yinzhen's arms.
Yinzhen hugged her tightly, lowered his head and kissed her face and neck carefully.
…
In the blink of an eye, the spring of March arrived, nearly half a year after Prince Yi's death, but Yinzhen made a decision not only to go to the Old Summer Palace this year, but also to go there earlier - starting from the Forbidden City in April.
In Kunning Palace, while the queen was making arrangements and giving orders, she knew in her heart that the emperor probably wanted to take advantage of the beautiful scenery to relax and ease his heartache, which was why he had to leave so early.
When Ji Ling and other concubines paid their respects to the Queen, they heard the news and thought to themselves: This time it is really "early"!
In the past, whenever I went to the Old Summer Palace, which time did I not go there until the end of August or the beginning of September, when autumn was beginning to set in and the tips of the grass blades were already wilting and turning yellow?
Fortunately, it is said to be "escape from the summer heat", but it is basically "outing in autumn", okay?
And she remembered: Mingming spent the next two months of each time in the Old Summer Palace to keep warm - it was not until the winter solstice that she could hold Mrs. Tang in her arms, get on the carriage, and return to the Forbidden City after "escape from the summer".
…
But this time, I can finally take my children to experience the spring in the Old Summer Palace!
Speaking of which, Ji Ling hasn't been to the Old Summer Palace for several years - in the past few years, major events in the previous dynasty have happened one after another, and Yinzhen is really unable to cope with the situation.
The third princess and the sixth brother were very excited, especially the third princess. Three or four days before her departure, she had already used a special light pink silk cosmetic bag specially made for her by Ji Ling, and packed all kinds of rouge, gouache and powder in different categories.
When she got up, she followed Ji Ling's habits and matched them with more than a dozen sets of spring clothes and jewelry.
Ji Ling watched from the side, letting her daughter play around with her imagination, and aesthetics was a very personal matter, and she never thought of having any say in this matter.
The large group of people left the Forbidden City in a mighty manner and headed for the Old Summer Palace.
Ji Ling went there this time and was directly taken to the Spring of Heaven and Earth on Jiuzhou Qingyan.
The blue waves are rippling around Qingyan in Jiuzhou, and the spring of the world and the whole family is beside the emperor's bedside.
These five words sound joyful, but it is actually a very secluded residence. If the concubine was unaware, she would have thought it was a huge study courtyard at first glance.
"Spring for the whole family of heaven and earth" is a poem in which the ministers praise the Holy Son of Heaven. The source is "The Poems of Holy Life without Boundaries" written by Yang Juyuan of the Tang Dynasty: "The dawn of the nine gates of the cloud mountain is the spring of the whole family of heaven and earth."
There are three courtyards in Tiandi Family Spring. There are also "Daya Zhai", "Hanmo Zhai", "Sishun Zhai", "Jishan Hall" and "Fushou Ren'en". "Daya Zhai" is where Yinzhen once made people follow the natural
The decoration of the picture is arranged - Ji Ling's bedroom is located here,
"Sishun Zhai" was given to the third princess, and "Hanmo Zhai" was given to the sixth elder brother. Although the sixth elder brother can no longer stay here every day as before, he can't even stay in one house in the courtyard.
careless.
Except for the master, the palace maids' houses are in the south-west courtyard, and the eunuch's duty room is in the south room. The three east and three west rooms of the back hall are all empty, and can be used as a study, a Buddhist hall or a storehouse, as Concubine Chen wishes.
.
In addition, the Chunzhong sleeping hall of the Tiandi Family is the same as the Qingyan Hall of Jiuzhou. It is equipped with a fire kang, carpets, bed felts, partition felts, curtains, mattresses, etc. There is also a swing frame in the yard.
Ji Ling looked around and realized that she actually preferred the layout of natural pictures, which were refreshing, elegant, and square--not to mention that when sitting in the backyard and opening the window pane facing the water, she could directly see the wind-filled pond, how beautiful it was!
However, the spring of the Tiandi family is next to the emperor's bedroom - after Yinzhen finished approving the papers in the evening, if he wanted to come over, say a few words, and get along for a while, he could just take a few steps to get there.
The right time, the right place, the right people, and everything is available here.
This alone has made many concubines blush with envy.
Not to mention, Tiandi Family Spring itself is located in the Jiuzhou Qingyan Building Complex. It is estimated that whether Yinzhen comes to her place or she goes to his place, the taste of the imperial dining room... seems to be a chance to enjoy it.
