Grandma Chen got on the boat first, then turned around and hugged the third princess up.
Ji Ling saw his daughter getting on the boat, and then he was surrounded by everyone and stepped on it, holding the basket containing the unicorn tightly in his arms.
The handyman eunuch next to him looked at Qilin with envy on his face - this royal dog is really blessed! His real life is much better than theirs.
Qilin squinted his eyes and lay on the small pillow.
Just now it was almost knocked out by the third princess. Now the warm sun is shining on its back, and Ji Ling is stroking its back over and over again. Qilin purrs comfortably from its throat.
, it was about to fall asleep again.
The third princess brought a cookie to Qilin's mouth. Qilin opened his eyes sadly, twitched his nose, smelled it, and ate the cookie in a dignified manner.
Ji Ling stretched out her hand to wipe the crumbs from the puppy's mouth, and deliberately sat on the bow of the boat so that Qilin could get more sun. Then she raised her head and ordered: "Let's go."
The painting boat pushed away the waves and gradually turned its direction. From the back pier of Jiuzhou Qingyan Palace, it gradually passed in the natural direction. There are many willows planted in the Old Summer Palace. The breeze blew slowly, and the willows hugged the water. The water surface was as smooth as a mirror. The painting boat passed by the half-moon bridge.
Slowly sliding down, there is a large sea of blessings to the east.
The third princess was particularly happy as soon as she got on the boat. After a while, she saw small fish swimming in groups in the water, so she clamored to catch fish and begged Ji Ling for a while. After finally getting permission, the three princesses
The princess lay on the bow of the boat, reached for the small net bag that was already prepared on the bow, and fished in the water.
Grandma Chen and Bixue were beside her, one holding her left arm and the other hugging her waist from behind.
Ji Ling looked at it with fear, and said in a loud voice: "Just catch a few! Come back and ask someone to give them to you, you can have as many as you want!"
After a while, the third princess actually caught a lot of small fish, each of which was only the size of an adult's index finger. There was no container for fish on the boat. Qixi had an idea and put some fish in a peel cup that was brought on board.
He poured out the fruit, filled it with some lake water, and gave it directly to the third princess to fill with small fishes.
The third princess held the fish jar and watched seven or eight small fishes swimming around in panic in it. She was so happy that she put her hand in to stir it up, and then held the jar up to Xiao Fenzi, Bixue, and Grandma Chen.
He looked at them all once, then waved his hand majestically and shouted: "Fetch again!"
Ji Ling put down Qilin, reached out and grabbed her daughter's back vest, carried the little girl back directly, and scolded: "Danger!"
She thought to herself: Hongxin is sitting quietly in the study room, there is no need to worry or be busy; the personalities of these two siblings... Why do they seem to be upside down?
During this trip around the lake, it was already late at noon. Ji Ling was leaning in the cabin, eating and drinking. The peels Qixi peeled for her were enough to fill a table, and she had already eaten three plates of cakes.
...When I go back in a while, I will definitely not be able to eat lunch.
The sun at noon in spring was getting warmer and warmer. Ji Ling yawned countless times and leaned back on the board of the boat, lost in thought. The three princesses were already happily singing songs, various self-made tunes and harmonies.
There are all the words.
Qixi and Bixue sat next to each other, clearing away the food on the table and chatting.
Qilin had already been sleeping on her lap and was snoring.
The third princess moved a small bench and sat on the bow of the boat, full of energy and happily looking at the surrounding scenery.
The sunhat Ji Ling put on her had already been turned back, leaving only a red string, which was thinly tied around the neck of the third princess. Anyway, the sunhat was light, so the third princess didn’t care about it, just let the hat look like a
Small turtle shells are usually carried on the back.
She suddenly let out a sigh and said, "Mom, look!"
Ji Ling raised her head and looked in the direction her daughter was pointing, and saw Xi Concubine, surrounded by a group of servants, walking out of Ci Yun's protective care, with Concubine Cheng supporting her beside her.
After not seeing her for a long time, Concubine Cheng seemed to be getting more and more hunched over. After walking a few steps, she had to take a break. Concubine Xi stayed by her side patiently, reaching out to support Cheng Concubine, almost half-supporting her.
Princess, the two of them were talking intimately, and no one noticed a painting studio slowly moving past on the lake.
The third princess came over and said, "Mother, I don't like this concubine."
Ji Ling withdrew her gaze, stretched out her hand and said, "Come in, you'll get tan if you keep in the sun!"
The third princess rode on a small bench and moved toward the cabin like a horse. When she reached the joint between the cabin and the ship's deck, Qixi stretched out her hand and took her in with great difficulty.
Ji Ling touched her daughter's head and said, "Why did you say such a thing suddenly?"
The third princess tilted her head slightly, tugged at the corner of Ji Ling's clothes, lay on her knees, buried her face in Qilin's furry back, and said in a muffled voice: "I don't like the way she and Empress Xi Bi smile when they look at me.
——Their mouths are smiling, but their eyes are not smiling, they are cold."
Ji Ling didn't say anything. After a while, he stretched out his hand to touch the third princess's head, raised his head and said, "Go back."
She ordered Huafang to turn around and go back towards Jiuzhou Qingyan Palace. When she could already vaguely see the pier, she suddenly saw a bright yellow figure on the shore, standing there with hands folded. Who else could it be if it wasn't Yinzhen?
Three or four steps away from him, Su Peisheng was holding a fly whisk, bowing and standing aside. A little further away was a circle of imperial eunuchs, standing with their hands down.
The third princess also saw it. She jumped up as fast as a rabbit and ran out to the bow of the ship, waving and shouting: "Huang Ama! Huang Ama!"
Not long after, the boat docked. The third princess jumped onto the pier before the boat could stop. She was so frightened that Nanny Chen rushed behind her. She rubbed her heart with one hand and tugged her arm hurriedly with the other, and kept saying:
: "Princess! Little master! Slow down!"
The third princess quickly rushed to Yinzhen, stretched out her hand and held up the fish jar to show him.
Yinzhen lowered his head and touched her head, and said with a smile: "Okay."
He came forward and stretched out his hand to Ji Ling. Ji Ling took his hand without any effort on his part. With just a gentle tug, she was already on the shore.
She raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, raised her head and asked Yinzhen with a smile: "Why is the emperor here? Are you waiting for me and Xi'er here?"
While she was talking, the third princess already hugged Ji Ling's waist again.
Ji Ling patted her daughter's back gently with one hand, while the other hand was still held by Yinzhen.
He didn't let go, just held her hand, and the two of them walked forward. The servants quickly got out of the way and followed the emperor and the noble concubine in a mighty manner.
Yinzhen hummed and said calmly: "I just went down to court and came from Zhengda Guangming Hall. I wanted to see you and Xi'er, but I heard from the slaves that you went to the lake for a swim."
He paused, looked at Ji Ling and said, "Although it's March, it's still cold on the lake..."
Before he finished speaking, Ji Ling suddenly sneezed.
