Fortunately, I gave birth in winter, otherwise it would be summer and I would stink just sitting down for a month.
Ji Ling remembered when she gave birth to the third princess.
The third princess's birthday was in May, which was already the beginning of summer, and the air was filled with warm and warm wind. At the end of her confinement period, she couldn't bear to look in the mirror.
When the day finally came for her to wash her hair, she almost went bald without letting Qixi help her wash her hair.
…
Yinzhen came very early the next day. After all, it was still in the first month of the year and there were not many political affairs. He couldn't wait to come over after noon.
After teasing the seventh elder brother for a while, and then giving instructions to the wet nurse and nanny, the slaves in the Nuan Pavilion knelt down in darkness, and then Yinzhen came over to see Ji Ling.
She recovered quickly, and her lips and cheeks were rosy and bright. Her hair was soaked with sweat because she couldn't wash it. She simply found a piece of exquisite embroidered silk hat and wrapped it around her head. She took a quick look and it looked like
A little peasant woman.
"Hongtun just woke up and held my finger with one hand, as if he knew that I was his emperor." Yinzhen described to her with beaming eyebrows.
Ji Ling smiled and said, "He must know."
The third princess and Hongxin both came back after hearing the news. It was rare for the two siblings to get together. At this time, they both went to see their brother. After watching, they came to Ji Ling.
Hongxin was obviously taller than the third princess at this time, and because of her modest manners, she looked at him like an elder brother and the third princess like a younger sister.
Yinzhen waved the two children over and talked for a while. The scene was very warm. Ji Ling listened and smiled.
After Yinzhen left, the concubines of the harem came over one after another to congratulate him, and the scene was very lively.
Ji Ling could only stay on the bed, unable to get off the ground. She listened to everyone congratulating her with laughter through the curtains. Concubines like Mao and Qian who had no children received the news faster than Xi and Yu.
Concubine and the others, please slow down.
What a coincidence - Su Peisheng brought a large group of young eunuchs to the Jiuzhou Qingyan Palace and brought all the rewards given by Concubine Chen for giving birth, ranging from jewelry to large ornaments and small cabinets. The most exaggerated
There was also a five-leaf mother-of-pearl golden butterfly screen, which was also carried over.
The concubines moved back to get out of the way. Gradually, they were so crowded by the rewards from Jiuzhou Qingyan Palace that they could no longer stand.
At first, everyone was talking in admiration and admiration. As the rewards were brought in one after another, everyone gradually became silent.
Ji Ling could only listen to the noise inside.
Qixi came in over and over again to report to her what the emperor had rewarded, and so on... In the end, she couldn't explain it anymore, and her tongue was almost tied in knots.
On the other hand, Xiao Fenzi was very nimble, and she and Bixue sang and cooperated with each other outside to pack and accept things, and they had a very tacit understanding.
Zhang Guiren waited aside, and waited until everyone had left before she entered the Nuan Pavilion.
As soon as he came in and saw the piece of floral cloth wrapped around Ji Ling's head, Zhang Guiren couldn't help it. He raised his sleeves and covered his mouth and laughed.
Ji Ling also laughed and reached out to touch his head: "It's funny, isn't it? It's really ugly to not be able to wash your hair during confinement."
Zhang Guiren shook his head and said seriously: "Sister, no matter what, she is beautiful, at least in my eyes, she has always been so."
She stood up, dragged Xiudun forward, held one of Ji Ling's hands, and said softly: "In the eyes of the emperor, it must be the same."
As soon as she mentioned Yinzhen, Ji Ling couldn't help but turn up the corners of her mouth slightly.
Zhang Guiren saw all the changes in Ji Ling's expression and couldn't help but said softly: "Sister, it's great that you can be in love with the emperor. You don't have to be like me. Being in the Forbidden City is like being in a prison cell."
It’s almost the same.”
As she spoke, the look in her eyes gradually dimmed.
Ji Ling knew how she felt about Doctor Di.
After so many years, she was afraid of touching Shengjian's heart and rarely mentioned it. Seeing her say this now, one knew that she must still have this knot in her heart and she couldn't get over it no matter what.
She held Zhang Guiren's hand with her backhand, and was about to say a word or two of comfort, but felt that there was no way to comfort her at all.
At this time, the seventh elder brother started to cry.
The wet nurse came over while holding her while breastfeeding.
Ji Ling asked someone to put the stroller into the cradle, and asked the wet nurse to sit next to the stroller and nurse, while she watched.
There are three wet nurses in total. They were all carefully selected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and screened over and over again. The last one selected was probably not the one who checked all the eighteen generations of the other party's ancestors.
In front of the emperor, these wet nurses were all sent over for him to see.
The seventh brother only has one mouth, so naturally he does not need three wet nurses. One of them is considered the main one, and the other two are like backup supplements to prevent problems such as the sudden interruption of the first wet nurse's milk.
Being the prince's wet nurse is a good job, not to mention that the prince is the daughter of Concubine Chen.
Several wet nurses secretly looked at each other and competed with each other.
Ji Ling called the remaining two wet nurses over.
Three stocky women, with slicked-back hair and neatly dressed clothes, knelt down in front of the bed to kowtow to the imperial concubine.
Ji Ling thought for a while, organized the words in his mind, and then said it to them.
Her meaning is also very simple: since they are all here to serve the seventh elder brother, if they serve well, everyone will be rewarded, and the three of them are equal, and they will not be treated unfairly.
But if anyone hurt even a hair on Brother Seventh in order to fight for fame and wealth, she would not be lenient.
Ji Ling knew that in the eyes of these slaves, she was a gentle and gentle master.
So when he spoke, he deliberately emphasized his tone by six to seven points, and his voice and tone were almost rare.
Lian Qixi was waiting beside him, and his whole body was tense.
Listening to Concubine Chen's expressionless words, the three wet nurses kowtowed repeatedly and promised again and again that they would serve the seventh brother with all their heart. They would never dare to make any small thoughts, and they almost didn't swear on the spot.
After Ji Ling finished speaking, he asked Qixi to reward the three wet nurses with their purses as a reward for giving birth to children.
The wet nurse who took the lead quickly said in panic: "Xie Chen, Imperial Concubine! It's just that... the emperor has already rewarded the previous ones, how can the servants be embarrassed to accept the reward from the imperial concubine again!"
Ji Ling said calmly: "That is the emperor's reward, this is my reward. As long as you work with all your heart and sincerity, I will naturally know it - what does this little reward at the beginning mean?"
The three wet nurses knelt down and kowtowed to her again with faces full of joy.
Twenty days later, it was already February. The ground in the Old Summer Palace was warm and humid, and the greenery on the branches was already beginning to bloom.
In the spring of the Tiandi family, Ji Ling is counting the days every day, eagerly waiting for the time when he can give birth to his confinement.
Brother Seventh looks the same almost every day. The red color on his face gradually fades away, and he has a fair and tender face. He smiles when he sees familiar people.
His dimples are exposed when he smiles, not to mention how attractive he is.
It's just that at this time, he could only laugh quietly and couldn't make any laughter.
