Five hundred and thirtieth eight chapters choose a son-in-law
In the next few days, Ji Ling did not pass, and only asked the third princess to accompany her to paint. Anyway, this little girl was full of energy all day long, so she could just accompany her Emperor Amma.
The father and daughter dressed up in many costumes, and finally they even came out with a farmhouse look. The fourth master dressed up as a farmer, and the third princess dressed up as a little farm girl, and finally came back with the painting to show Ji Ling.
Ji Ling was at the dining table, eyes wide open.
The third princess rarely spoke much - while she was painting today, Huang Ama suddenly asked her what kind of forehead consort she wanted to find in the future.
Make the third princess ashamed!
At that time, she covered her face with a big straw hat pretending to be a farmhouse, and pretended not to hear. When the emperor finally suppressed her laughter and changed the subject, the third princess put down the straw hat.
Then, she didn't dare to stay at Huang Ama's place any longer. After finishing the painting, she hurried back to Chengqian Palace.
Thinking about it, it was her mother who was her mother after all - she told this matter to her mother hesitantly.
"I'm not old yet. When Sister Hehui and Sister Shushen were as old as me, they hadn't even thought about marriage," the third princess said.
As soon as the word "marriage" came out of her mouth, she blushed again.
Ji Ling smiled and said: "Your Majesty Ama planned for a rainy day. I can't say that he is wrong, but I don't know what our Xi'er likes?"
The third princess raised her hands and covered her little face.
In my daughter's house, it's always normal to be shy.
This is just like today's parents, who are very guarded when their children are studying, and will stop them if they see the slightest sign of puppy love.
As a result, after the child graduated and had not worked for a few years, the person was asked to find a reliable love partner immediately so that they could discuss starting a family and getting married.
As Ji Ling thought about it, she looked at her daughter and secretly wondered what type her daughter liked.
Little girls always have their own preferences. For example, some people are good at looks and must be handsome; some people have an optimistic and humorous personality; and some people like the iceberg cold type...
Not all.
However, now that Ji Ling looks at it from the perspective of his mother-in-law, the standards have changed. There are three main criteria: the first is good appearance and a good family background; the second is good character; the third is having a good temper and good family background.
I love my daughter.
It's a pity that in today's time and space, we can't be like today's society - boyfriends and girlfriends can fall in love and understand each other's personalities and tempers before getting married.
In this era, it's all parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. If you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, and if you marry a dog, follow the dog.
Ji Ling raised her hand and touched her daughter's head, and said lovingly: "It doesn't matter, my mother will definitely ask your Majesty to make a good choice and discuss it in the long term."
By raising this matter so early, isn't it because we want to consider it in the long term?
The earlier you prepare, the better you will be.
Ji Ling understands Yinzhen's painstaking efforts as a loving father.
The dinner was very light, consisting of porridge, millet porridge, mung bean porridge, and a few spicy and sour side dishes. As for other stews, stir-fries, and hot dishes, none of them were served.
Ji Ling first watched the seventh elder brother being fed by the wet nurse, and then brought the third princess to have a meal.
Brother Seven is now gradually reaching the stage where he can eat some complementary food. He is fed a spoonful of porridge stewed with chopped vegetables and fruits.
Brother Qi ate so much that his chin drooled. Fortunately, he was wearing a small bib. The pattern on the bib was also drawn by Ji Ling and embroidered by Qixi.
What she drew was the style of Pokémon.
The third princess ate a honey bun, and her hands and face were all sticky with honey.
There was also a dish of spicy and sour potato shreds, which were cut into thin and transparent pieces. The sour and spicy taste had completely penetrated into the potato shreds. The third princess liked it very much and drank several small bowls of porridge with this dish.
Ji Ling saw that his daughter had a good appetite, so he picked up a few more chopsticks and placed them on the small plate in front of her.
She traveled to the emperor's harem, and although she was now the only favorite, she was still one of the concubines.
But the third princess is different.
A golden girl with jade leaves, a proud daughter of heaven. Once you marry, you will be a pair for life. The character of your husband and whether he can love others are very important.
In this era, if a woman marries the wrong person and wants to make up for it, the price will be quite high.
Ji Ling sighed heavily.
After the New Year, Yinzhen began to look at the candidates for her - it turned out that he had secretly looked at several boys, of course - they were all in Beijing.
"Don't talk about you, I am absolutely reluctant to let Xi'er marry to Mongolia." He said to Ji Ling.
Because Ji Ling had received repeated assurances from Yinzhen before, she was not worried about this matter. However, marrying in the capital also had its disadvantages - she was afraid that her daughter would think: Anyway, E Niang and Huang Ama are around, so there is no need for marriage.
There are people who support me in everything, but I always ride on my father-in-law.
The relationship between the young couple was greatly disadvantaged.
Yinzhen first eliminated a child for her - a boy who was good in everything, but it was a pity that the mother's status was slightly lower.
Ji Ling turned his head and looked at the portrait first.
She originally wanted to ask Yinzhen why she could get portraits of other people's children, but after reading it, she immediately forgot about it.
In that portrait, he looked like a handsome young man. In modern times, he would definitely have the appearance to make his debut. What's more rare is that although his eyebrows are very beautiful, he doesn't have any femininity at all, and his temperament is very clean.
Ji Ling blurted out: "...This child looks really good!"
Yinzhen nodded noncommittally and said, "Let's keep it as a backup for now."
After saying that, he made a circle next to it with Zhu Pi.
Ji Ling wondered if this love was a talent show for handsome men?
Needless to say, the family backgrounds of the next young men were more noble than the last, but Yinzhen rejected two more in the blink of an eye.
"I heard that this kid loves calligraphy too much."
Ji Ling was a little puzzled and asked him: "Isn't it a bad thing to like calligraphy?"
Yinzhen glanced at her, reached out and patted the back of her hand, and said: "It's just a matter of entertainment with calligraphy, how can you really indulge in it all day long? What's the point of being sad for spring and autumn?"
Ji Ling was startled, and said in his heart: He is a consort, what kind of future do you want him to have...! ╮(╯▽╰)╭
However, she carefully tasted Yinzhen's words in her heart, and thought that she was right. If she indulged in it all day long and was sentimental...
Not to mention whether this temperament could be compatible with Xi'er, if he was really sad all day long, she would be worried that this husband-in-law would die young... leaving her daughter alone.
No, this also requires a PASS.
As a result, one by one the teenagers talked about the past, and there were fewer and fewer people.
Yinzhen was also a little irritable.
Ji Ling understood that in his eyes, no matter whose family these boys belonged to, he felt that they were not worthy of the apple of his eye.
In other words, no matter who he marries in the end, he will feel that he is getting an advantage over that brat.
But the princess has to marry.
The passage of time is particularly shocking for girls. When they are young, they don't even realize it.
Once you reach the age where you can actually get married, those days...year after year will pass by like water, and you won't be able to hesitate at all.
When the imperial examination was still under way in the previous dynasty, there were several "old" princesses in the palace who, due to various reasons, missed the age-appropriate marriage at that time. As a result, they were unable to achieve high or low standards, and they remained in the palace in embarrassment.
This kind of thing happened in every dynasty and every generation going forward.
