The measurement time for the third princess took much longer than she expected. After a while, someone came from the front and said that the third princess was already well. If the imperial concubine wanted to go, she could move on now.
Ji Ling got up and went out to the front hall. Yiyun, Yiquan and several other second-class palace maids were kneeling on the ground and collecting cloths. The place was in chaos.
The leading nun came over and saluted her. Ji Ling called out and asked the embroiderers to come over and measure her.
Then she discovered something very interesting. The more amiable she looked, the more frightened and nervous the embroiderers became. They were all timid, just like chickens who have seen an eagle.
Ji Ling thought for a while and realized: after being in the palace for a long time, they had long been accustomed to seeing the cold faces of their masters.
According to their thinking - the imperial concubine will only be more assertive and more difficult to serve. Who knows that the empress in front of her is not like this at all.
When something goes wrong, they naturally panic.
It is already April, and the clothes I have made are all for this summer. The hairpins, hairpins, and hairpin rings worn by the imperial concubine in the summer are all made of jade. In order to match the color of the hair accessories, Ji Ling also chose softer fabrics.
Light cool colors, azure, moon white, pale green, dark blue...the colors are beautiful and the names are nice.
It’s cool to look at!
After the measurement, the maids knelt on the ground and cleaned up the cloth. The front hall suddenly felt refreshed.
For the next three days, Yinzhen did not come to Tiandi Family Spring, but he heard that the fifth elder brother Fujin was summoned twice by Concubine Yu. It was said that Wu Fujin was calm when he went in, but his expression was different when he came out.
Concubine Yu was not much better, and in the end even the queen was frightened.
The matter of the fifth elder brother Gege was investigated over and over again. In the end, nothing came to an end.
The imperial doctor only said, "You are young, the mother is weak, and the fetus will inevitably be in danger." He bit his mouth to death, but no air came out. In the elder brother's office, the fifth elder brother made earth-shaking checks, including the nuns, palace maids, and young eunuchs.
He was tied up in a circle, beaten to pieces, cried for father and mother, and didn't ask any questions.
Na Gege was even more miserable. After this incident, her body was seriously injured.
After losing so much blood, it would be great to be able to save my life. Let alone having another child, I'm afraid I will have to live with a medicine jar for the rest of my life.
As for before, why was she able to surpass Fujin and become pregnant with the fifth elder brother's first child?
It's not surprising at all - this Princess has become quite favored since she joined the fifth elder brother. It is said that the fifth elder brother has completely forgotten about Fujin and Xi Fujin, and almost gave this princess the special favor.
…
Ji Ling thought about it, and casually opened the "Yue Xin Ji" that Yinzhen left in her hand that day, and glanced at the front, the preface written by Yinzhen himself: I have been indifferent and caring all my life, quiet and self-contained, and happy with my fate.
When I lived in the feudal mansion, even though I was surrounded by prosperity, I felt that it was far away and quiet while I was sleeping.
She flipped through each article, and it was not as boring as she imagined. Many of the articles in it were quite interesting. After reading, they made people feel relaxed and happy, and they were eager to read them. For example, there was an article called "The Book of Words", which said: "
"North of Beishan, South of Nanshan" scenery, there is also an article called "Lele", the name is quite cute, and when I turned it in, I realized that it is a poem by a Song Dynasty person, and it is also the intention of Lao and Zhuang Wuwei.
In the Great Hall of Light.
Yinzhen has been annoyed by something recently.
The palace gate of the Old Summer Palace is twenty miles away from Xizhimen. Most of the ministers and ministers live in the north and south cities. They go to court every day and rush to the Old Summer Palace early in the morning.
During the Yongzheng Dynasty, not only was the emperor diligent in his administration, but he was also very strict in his administration - the ministers had to get up early at the third watch in the middle of the night, and they were almost at the Old Summer Palace by the fourth or fifth watch. It was a very hard night walk in the wind and cold, and they had to return to their residences the same day until the next court session.
, the journey back and forth took a lot of time, the carriage and horses were tossing around, and I was exhausted.
A while ago, in order to sympathize with his ministers, Yinzhen made a special decree: "All ministers and officials who come to the Old Summer Palace to perform affairs should not be too early."
He issued this edict originally out of sympathy for his ministers, and even said: When officials come to the Old Summer Palace to perform affairs, they can be a little late. If there is bad weather with strong wind and heavy rain, it is not a bad idea to be late once or twice.
But no one expected the result
Because there is no clear time rule, gradually, the number of officials who come to the Old Summer Palace to perform events becomes less and less, and the number of events becomes less and less.
Even one day, when he came to court, only five ministers came to attend the meeting - all of them were trivial matters that could be counted on one hand.
Or sometimes when the weather is nice, people come all at once, but things have been piling up for several days.
Like this, very uneven.
So Yinzhen called everyone together today and reprimanded: "The ministers do not know how to respect me and my heart, so they deliberately shortened the time for Chen's performance!"
I thought about you and sympathized with my ministers, but in the end, it became a reason and excuse for you people to be lazy?
The ministers were kowtowing tremblingly below, feeling a little guilty in their hearts. Everyone understood that the emperor was really angry.
Yinzhen looked at the ministers below and said sternly: "I am in the Old Summer Palace, just like I am in the Forbidden City. All things that need to be done should be handled as usual. Those who have to respond will report when they have something to do. There should be no delay and simplicity. I
Anyone who notices it will be severely punished!"
He paused, and then said in a tone that could not be criticized: "Where is the forehead of the great scholar?"
"I'm here!"
Yinzhen said coldly: "I said, you remember."
"From now on, the Eight Banners will be divided into eight days, each with one day to play in turn, and the ministries and yamen will each have one day to play in turn. Outside of the six-ministry system, the Metropolitan Inspectorate and the Lifan Yuan will have one day, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will have one day. I want to have one day every day.
Everything has something to do and someone to do it for."
All the ministers kowtowed.
After asking everyone to leave, Yinzhen returned to Jiuzhou Qingyan Hall and leaned on the chair, feeling tired.
He raised his hand to cover his forehead and asked Su Peisheng: "How is the spring of the world and the earth going these days?"
Su Peisheng said: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs went to make new summer clothes for the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine Chen also came to Jiuzhou Qingyan Palace several times. She did not meet the emperor. She only asked the emperor to take care of the dragon body."
Yinzhen nodded, the look in his eyes softened a lot.
Su Peisheng looked at Yinzhen's expression, paused and said, "The emperor has not been to the world for several days."
Yinzhen said nothing, glanced at Su Peisheng and said, "Pass the meal, I'm hungry."
He hasn't thought about it yet.
He was in a very bad mood these days, and he didn't want to use this face to go to Lingling.
After many years of companionship, she has long been able to see the real thoughts in his heart. If she detects that he is unhappy at all, she will try her best to make him happy.
Only when a smile appeared on his face did she let out a sigh of relief.
He just couldn't bear to see her working so hard.
My soul should be carefree and live a life without any trouble.
