The seventh elder brother was assigned multiple wet nurses and nuns as soon as he was born. Together with other palace attendants who only served the seventh elder brother, there was almost no room in the side hall.
A few needlework nuns were sewing bedding, pillowcases, swaddling clothes and other items that the seventh prince would use in the corner room of the side hall.
The seventh elder brother had already woken up. Ji Ling took a purse and sat next to the crib to play with him.
The seventh brother reached out to grab the tassel of his purse, but failed to catch it after trying several times. He silently put down his hand and looked at E Niang with a pair of star-like black eyes, his eyes full of grievances.
In the past, Ji Ling always thought that her youngest son had peach blossom eyes. Now as time went by, she slowly discovered that the seventh elder brother's eyes were actually a little longer and slender than the peach blossom eyes, and his double eyelids were not as wide as the peach blossom eyes.
downwards, further stimulating the mother's protective desire.
Ji Ling felt soft-hearted when he acted coquettishly.
She carefully picked up Brother Seventh and put the purse in his arms.
The seventh elder brother grabbed his purse and made some babbling sounds that only he could understand.
He happily put the purse into his mouth and took a bite: "Yeah!"
...You can't eat this!
Before Ji Ling could reach out, a hand had already passed by her eyes, and at the same time, a faint scent of submerged water also passed through Ji Ling's nose.
It turned out that Yinzhen came to Chengqian Palace, but no one was informed. He didn't find her in the main hall, so he came to the side hall.
All the wet nurses in the room knelt on the ground in darkness to pay their respects to the emperor.
Ji Ling and his men helped Yinzhen take off his outer cloak, and then Yinzhen asked his servants to go out.
He took the purse back, held it up high with a smile, and dangled it in front of Brother Seventh's eyes.
The seventh prince didn't look at the purse, but stared at his emperor's mother with wide eyes. After staring for a while, he suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed his emperor's mother's belt.
Yinzhen's belt is equipped with highly decorative plate-like ornaments. The so-called "belt version" of the emperor refers to this.
The belt he used during great ceremonies was round, and the belt he used during sacrifices was square."
This is consistent with the theory of "the sky is round and the earth is round" - representing that the honor of "heaven and earth" belongs to the emperor.
At this time, only the emperor could own the square and round belts at the same time, while other princes, princes, princes, Baylor, Beizi, Zhen Guogong, etc. could only enjoy the square belts.
Officials of the first to ninth grades can only enjoy the round belt version.
Only the belt version on Yinzhen's belt can be switched at will according to different occasions.
Yinzhen's belt belt is made of pure gold... The middle of the gold plate is inlaid with red, sapphire or turquoise and five eastern pearls in the shape of a cross. It is surrounded by twenty pearls, and around it is also equipped with tourmaline and lapis lazuli.
Turquoise, coral, amber, etc.
At this moment, the seventh prince was obviously interested in one of the clear turquoise stones.
He stretched out his hand and touched it, pulling at it.
Even though he looked like a kitten, he was actually quite strong. He pulled and pulled, and he actually pulled the emperor's belt a little loose.
Ji Ling:……
She reached out and gently took away her son's little hand.
Yinzhen smiled and said: "It doesn't matter."
As he spoke, he bent down and picked up his little son with loving eyes.
The Seventh Prince was held in Huang Ama's arms. He finally gave up his obsession with the belt and looked up at Huang Ama.
He looked at it for a while, his eyelids drooped, and he felt sleepy. Just when Yinzhen thought that his youngest son was going to sleep and was about to put his hand back to the crib, the seventh elder brother suddenly reached out and hugged Huang A
Ma's neck pressed her fleshy, soft little face against his.
Yinzhen was startled, and felt soft in his heart by his son's sudden action.
The seventh elder brother pressed his face against his father's, as if he had found a support point for his body weight. He let go of his little hands with confidence, and like an ostrich, he dropped his head on his father's face.
Then he fell asleep...actually fell asleep in this position...
Ji Ling:……
Yinzhen was touched, and with the piety of a Taoist, he said something to Ji Ling about the fate between parents and their children.
"Parents and their children are predestined. If they are not predestined, they cannot be seen or found face to face," he said.
Then he patiently explained it to Ji Ling, which included many words and phrases, all from Taoist scriptures. For example, children are here to repay kindness - you were destined to be with them in your past life, and this parent was kind to you, so the child
Come to repay your kindness, be considerate to your parents, and be filial to your children and grandchildren.
Of course, there are also children who come to collect debts.
…
After the seventh elder brother was taken away by the wet nurse, the two of them went into the Nuan Pavilion and sat down. Only then did Yinzhen talk about the business calmly: It turns out that he came here today for two reasons.
First, he planned to directly designate the young Hongxin as a prince; secondly, after the Chinese New Year, he planned to designate Ji Ling as the imperial concubine.
Ji Ling was face to face with him, face to face.
Yinzhen kept looking at her. After saying these words, he took her hand in his and looked at her with a smile.
Ji Ling's eyes widened as he looked at Yinzhen, his mind going blank for a moment.
"Prince? Imperial concubine?" she asked Yinzhen.
Yinzhen took her into his arms, kissed her on the forehead, and then said in a deep voice: "Yes."
Ji Ling was pleasantly surprised for a moment, but after thinking about her son, the smile on her face gradually faded. She held Yinzhen's hand and whispered: "If Hongxin can be made a prince, I... or...
I won’t be crowned imperial concubine, right?”
Qixi saw that the emperor and his master were so intimate that it was not convenient for them to stay inside and continue to serve. She picked up the tea tray and was about to leave. When she heard Ji Ling's words, she came over and poured another cup of tea and handed it to Ji Ling.
While behind Ji Ling, he reached out and stabbed Ji Ling secretly.
Yinzhen stretched out his hand and took the cup of tea for Ji Ling, and then said quietly: "I have asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to start preparations. No matter how fast I move, I will have to wait until the spring of next year. I have already given the order, and I promise.
Since the beginning of spring, the regulations and specifications of the Qian Palace have been based on the imperial concubine. Everything is complete and refined, but we are just waiting for the Jin Dynasty ceremony."
He avoided answering Ji Ling's words, obviously he had already made up his mind about this matter.
Ji Ling got stuck immediately, but fortunately Yinzhen didn't let her continue.
He stretched out his hand to caress Ji Ling's cheek, smiled, and said with a serious look: "Lingling, you have been of the same mind for many years. You are gentle and honest, respectful and modest. I am not surprised that you said such a thing."
He paused, his face became a little solemn, and he said seriously: "It is precisely because Hongxin was made a prince that I want to make Lingling the imperial concubine. Lingling, do you understand?"
Although this was a question, he had no intention of waiting for Ji Ling's answer. Instead, he patted Ji Ling's hand, as if to bring the matter to a settled end, and said slowly with a smile.
: "Thank you."
Ji Ling stood up, knelt down and said, "I thank you, Your Majesty..."
Before she could finish speaking, Yinzhen held her arm and helped her up.
After Yinzhen left, Qixi was almost crying with joy: "Master, the imperial concubine... The queen is now banned. From now on, the master will be in the harem, taking the same position as the deputy empress. In addition, now he has taken charge of the Sixth Palace... From now on...
