In the courtyard of Tiandi Family Spring, all preparations for the birth have been completed, waiting for the imperial concubine to take action.
In the Old Summer Palace, Yinzhen actually said something - as the third princess grew older, it was time to move out and live separately from E Niang.
He directly pointed out the natural pictures to the third princess.
It is very close to the Jiuzhou Qingyan Palace and the Spring Palace of Heaven and Earth.
It can also be regarded as an old residence.
Ji Ling was a little reluctant to part with her at first: She lived well, so why should she move?
Besides, can my daughter take care of herself? From a modern perspective, the third princess is just a primary school student now.
But then I thought about it again, now in the Yongzheng period, in the royal family, there were many people who got married at the age of graduating from elementary school...
Yinzhen held her in his arms and tried to persuade her, but she had nothing to say.
A daughter cannot be tied to her for the rest of her life. Living separately is to allow her to be the independent master of the family and to truly make arrangements for the people around her as the master.
Whether she can manage her life properly depends on whether she knows how to employ people.
"Nanny Chen is quite smart and capable, so go with Xi'er." She said to Yinzhen.
Yinzhen smiled but said nothing, Xindao Lingling's four-character comment of "smart and capable" was too generous.
Of course, Aunt Chen was not enough by herself, so Ji Ling gave Evian to her daughter. Yinzhen also pointed out four water mothers, four needlework nuns, and two little palace maids to follow the third princess.
Originally, he wanted to have more slaves, but Ji Ling didn't give in - there were too many people, and the eyes were mixed, and the hearts were mixed.
Not a good thing.
It was terrifying to pack the third princess's luggage. Half of the Tiandi Family Spring's yard was piled up, and there was still room for it. The mule cart from the Ministry of Internal Affairs had to go back and forth five times before all the big parts could be delivered.
After that, what was left was scattered here and there, so Ji Ling could only clean it up while having people send it over to the third princess.
The two previous sisters had already married, and now the third princess was the only princess in the palace. This time, many concubines came to congratulate her in the hope of being in the honor of the noble concubine.
The third princess received the gift mercilessly.
On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, she was lying on the table writing a reply. Without noticing, the ink on the tip of the pen fell down and stained a large piece of clothes on her chest.
Nanny Chen came over to clean up her affairs and said distressedly: "Third princess, please take a rest. These matters are not important. It will be the same if I write again tomorrow."
The third princess wrote about seven or eight pieces, but more than twenty pieces were scrapped. She was so tired that her wrists were shaking slightly, sore and swollen.
Evian watched from the side and found a small pillow to put under her wrists without saying a word to dissuade her.
Grandma Chen glanced at her.
Evian followed Granny Chen out.
The two of them were standing in the front hall, and Nanny Chen frowned and said, "The princess is stubborn. If you don't even try to persuade her, why would you give her a pillow? My arms are sore when I look back. If the imperial doctor is called, the emperor and the imperial concubine will be together."
After asking, it turns out that we slaves didn't take good care of the princess again!"
Yiyun sighed and said softly: "Mommy, I don't know, but it's not like you don't know the princess's temperament - I want to persuade her, but can I persuade her? Even if the master is here, it may not be possible."
A little palace maid next to her came over and asked Evian where to put the clothes box she was holding.
Evian pointed it out to her, then wiped his hands and said: "The princess is now older, and she is no longer as young as the children before. Since the emperor asked the princess to move out and live by herself, the 'little master' in the words of the mammy is
'The word, it's better to take it back."
Natural pictures and heaven and earth are one family. The first word in their names is "天", which can be regarded as a connection.
When Ji Ling lived here with her children, the place was a little crowded.
Now that the third princess has opened an account alone, it is suddenly empty.
At night, she even felt that the backyard was a little too deserted.
So after writing the post in return of the gift, the third princess began to draw with the map, and on the map she and the boss in the backyard drew many flowers and plants.
What the third princess means is: Renovate and renovate the back, demolish what needs to be demolished, push what needs to be pushed, and make a larger back garden.
Ask someone to send it to Jiuzhou Qingyan Palace the next day. After asking for instructions, go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and ask them to send craftsmen from the production office to act according to her instructions.
Before the person who sent the drawings went to Jiuzhou Qingyan Palace, he first went to Tiandi Family Spring and appeared in front of the Imperial Concubine.
If it were an ordinary matter, no one would dare to disturb the imperial concubine who was about to give birth at this time.
But Ji Ling had warned her before that all matters related to the third princess should be reported to her first.
"Building a garden? Isn't there a small garden in front of the natural painting?" Ji Ling said in surprise after hearing the eunuch's report.
"Returning to the imperial concubine, the third princess said... that the garden in front is too small to be played with. It is winter now, so we should prepare it first. When spring comes next year, the garden will be planted with various flowers and trees. It will definitely look beautiful."
After the little eunuch said this, he took out two or three more drawings, all of which were drawn by the third princess herself, showing the transformation of the natural picture courtyard.
Ji Ling finished reading each one, nodded, raised his hand and said, "Go ahead."
Seeing the little eunuch leaving in a hurry, Qixi came over with a bowl of milk dumplings and said with a smile: "Master, can you use some?"
It's snack time.
Ji Ling took the chopsticks from her hand, holding the bowl in one hand, and agreed absently, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "Xi'er also has an idea now."
Qixi knelt down and gently rubbed her legs while saying, "The third princess has had an idea since she was a child. Otherwise, why would the emperor be so confident in letting her live alone? Master, don't worry."
On the eve of New Year's Eve, there were fireworks in the sky, thousands of palace lanterns, and all kinds of excitement in the Old Summer Palace. Of course, there is no need to mention it again.
According to the rules, the emperor has to "seal" and "seal the pen" from the 26th of the twelfth lunar month - to prepare for the New Year.
Wait until five days later on the first day of the first lunar month to "open the seal"
But this is just words.
In order to "sealing the seal" and "sealing the pen", Yinzhen also prepared a set of four royal cultural treasures in the Jiuzhou Qingyan Palace to deal with the "sealing seal" and "sealing the pen" ceremonies.
He himself approved thirteen edicts and issued admonitions on the first day of the first lunar month in the twelfth year of Yongzheng's reign.
He was so busy that, in his own words, he said: "During one year of life, I looked at the court with great pleasure, and there was no empty day. I personally cut off all opportunities and read the memorials."
In the blink of an eye, it’s already the tenth day of the Lunar New Year.
In the spring of the Tiandi family, Ji Ling looked really tired for him, but in the Old Summer Palace, the various areas were divided in an orderly manner, and she could not often go to the Qinzheng Qinxian Hall in front, so she could only have people send things there, etc.
There are soups, pastries and stir-fried vegetables, with small notes on the side.
After so many years, Lingling's handwriting is still as ugly as ever.
The corners of Yinzhen's mouth twitched, but his expression couldn't help but become gentle.
They are all small things, but they are also her thoughts.
As he watched, the smile on his face disappeared and was replaced by a sigh.
