When the third princess heard this, she walked over, picked up the scroll, and after just one glance, she immediately dropped it as if the scroll was hot to the touch.
Ji Ling was afraid that her daughter would be thin-skinned and embarrassed to speak directly, so she stood up and even omitted the subject: "...What do you think?"
what do you think?
She waited for a while, and when her daughter didn't answer, she added with a smile: "Your Majesty Ama is a rare sight. This scroll was brought back from the Yangxin Palace."
The third princess had her back turned to her, her expression could not be seen, and she did not speak.
Just when Ji Ling thought that she was not satisfied with this boy, the third princess spoke.
She only heard the voice of the third princess saying in a small and soft voice: "My daughter is entirely up to the Emperor's Ama, and my mother-in-law has the final say."
…
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, three years have passed since the Queen's national funeral. Finally, in the spring of the 16th year of Yongzheng's reign, the period of filial piety for the princes and princesses has passed.
In the Chengqian Palace, the third princess has completely transformed into a girl. Pingping Tingting, standing in front of Ji Ling, looks like a little beauty in palace clothes.
Getting married is just around the corner.
The time was set for May, just a few days after the third princess's birthday, she was going to get married from the Forbidden City.
Ji Ling has been busy since about this time last year. He has been busy with various arrangements and arrangements for a full year.
In this way, it is actually quite hasty. Not to mention, the princess wedding dress requires years of craftsmanship.
Not to mention the mountains of treasures that the fourth master rewarded. It is no exaggeration to say that the third princess's bungalow was almost filled.
In the end, the warehouse in Chengqian Palace couldn't accommodate it at all, so Ji Ling could only use Hongxin's study as a special place to store things for the wedding - anyway, his son had grown up now and was busy with his sister's affairs.
, it will be his turn to marry his direct wife Fujin later.
She, an old mother, has to worry about everything.
Among the things Yinzhen rewarded, it wasn't just him as a father. There were treasures from all ages in the Forbidden City. What was there that wasn't there?
There are also many gifts from Emperor Kangxi and many gifts from Queen Xiaoyiren.
In addition, the concubines and concubines in the harem each sent them.
Among them, Jin Concubine was the one who gave the most gifts. Almost everything was a labor of love. She also came over from time to time to help Ji Ling with various plans prepared for the third princess.
On the wedding clothes of the three princesses, there are also patterns composed of longevity peaches, pomegranates and bergamot hands, collectively called "three more", which are traditional auspicious patterns.
The longevity peach means long life, the pomegranate means many children, and the word "Buddha" in the bergamot is homophonic to the word "blessing". Ji Ling looked at them all, and her neck felt sore after looking at them too much. Jin Bin got up and kneaded the back of her neck.
Under the sunlight, Ji Ling could see clearly that there were faint blood vessels and dry lines on the back of Shengjian's hand.
"I'm old. The third princess is about to get married. How can I not grow old?" Jin Bin realized her sister's gaze, retracted her hand, and said to Ji Ling with a smile.
When she smiled, a few dry lines appeared under her eyes, and Ji Ling realized that the people around her were no longer what they were back then.
Even Aunt Qixi, as the maids call her, can no longer stay up late at night. She often walks unsteadily the next day after being on duty all night, and is unable to do things as well as she wants. When Ji Ling calls her, her reaction is half as slow.
shoot.
After Ji Ling noticed it, he asked the maid below to do the night watch.
At this age, no one can be brave.
On the birthday of the third princess, as they were about to part ways, the mother and daughter sat at the dining table. Facing each other, no one spoke first, but Ji Ling shed tears first.
She has different feelings about her son and daughter.
Because Hongxin gradually lived in his elder brother's house, he did not return to the Qiangong Palace often. Especially in recent years, the prince has grown older, and it has been inconvenient to enter and leave the harem.
So Ji Ling got used to the days without his sixth brother by his side.
But the third princess is different.
Since she was born, mother and daughter have hardly been apart for a day.
Except when they were in the Old Summer Palace, the three princesses once briefly lived in natural paintings.
The third princess also felt bad. After eating the noodles for a long time, the noodles slipped off her chopsticks and her eyes became red.
The third princess did not dare to look up at E Niang, for fear that she would shed tears and make E Niang feel uncomfortable.
She thought to herself, luckily she still has her seventh brother with her.
Otherwise, if he leaves like this and Hongxin marries a direct descendant, Fujin, both of them will become a small family, and Eniang's Chengqian Palace will suddenly become deserted.
"I miss you, mother. Please give me a sign at any time. Your Majesty loves you so much. You can come to the palace anytime you want." Ji Ling wiped her tears and reached out to touch the third princess's cheek. Suddenly, she still wanted to think of herself as a child.
Same thing, take her over like a baby, put her on your lap and rock her, or give her a big kiss on the cheek.
In her eyes, her daughter will always be a baby.
The third princess put down her chopsticks, lay on Ji Ling's knees, pressed her cheek against the hem of E Niang's silky flag dress, and whispered: "Don't worry E Niang, Xi'er also cares about E Niang, I will be back next month
.”
Ji Ling sniffed and immediately said: "That's not okay. Just after we got married, we went to the mother-in-law's palace all day long. People outside were watching, and they didn't know what happened to you and your husband-in-law!"
The third princess fell silent.
Ji Ling gave some more warnings. In fact, she had said these words a lot recently.
It's nothing more than treating the husband-in-law: You can't lose the respect between husband and wife just because you are a princess, let alone treat your husband as a slave and boss around indiscriminately when her temper gets worse.
"'Couple' is one thing, but 'loving couple' is another thing," she said.
The third princess sat up straight and listened to her.
Ji Ling added: "The most difficult thing in the world is the word "willingness". You must let your husband love you and protect you so much that he is willing to love you and take it for granted."
He doesn't want you to be sad, and he doesn't want you to be sad. When he leaves you, he also remembers that you are in his house. If there are any difficult people or things, he is always afraid that you will be bullied, and he will be the first to stand in front of you to protect you.
The third princess's face turned slightly red, and she suddenly whispered: "Mother, I know this, just like Huang Ama treats you like this. Huang Ama has always been like this to you."
Ji Ling looked like an old mother who was worried, and continued: "Also, in front of others, you have to give face to your father-in-law - all men want face, if you give him enough respect, this is the only thing that can be done
, he may not admit it with his mouth, but he must be very grateful to you in his heart, and other things will be easy to talk about."
The third princess nodded.
Ji Ling reached out and patted her daughter on the back, then whispered: "No matter how loving a couple is, there is no guarantee that they will not bump into each other. If there is a dispute, you must also remember this sentence - a good word will warm you in the winter.
Bad words hurt people. No matter how angry you are, you can't say bad words to hurt people's hearts. If you have anything to say, just say it nicely."
