Ji Ling didn't raise his head until the third princess's driver had gone far and headed towards the Yangxin Hall.
"Mommy...don't cry! Don't cry!" The seventh brother grabbed the corner of her clothes, raised his head, and spat out these words with a little milky voice, not to mention how cute he was.
He was really distressed when he saw E Niang crying. Although he didn't understand why the third sister left, he also knew that E Niang was feeling very sad now.
Ji Ling looked down at her youngest son, and in a daze, she saw the seventh elder brother as the little Hongxin back then.
She knelt down and hugged the seventh elder brother. The seventh elder brother raised his hand and wiped her face with his chubby little hands: "Ah! Smile! E Niang smiles!".
While he was babbling, he was twisting his body to make his mother happy.
Ji Ling's heart is about to melt.
Jin Bin also laughed beside her, raised her hand to support Ji Ling and said: "Sister Ji, it is a happy event for the third princess to get married, not to mention that she can stay in the capital and be cared for by Sister Meng all the time. Compared with those princesses who care for Meng,
I don’t know how much better it is! Not to mention that this prince-in-law is also satisfactory, sister, please don’t be sad!"
According to the rules of the Qing Dynasty, after the princess of Fu Meng came to Beijing from a nomadic place after she got married, she had to live in Beijing for a certain period of time. When Emperor Kangxi was in the previous dynasty, this time limit was relatively loose, and she could only stay for a few months.
, or even half a year is possible.
However, starting from the Yongzheng Dynasty, the time for the princess of Fumeng to return to Beijing was strictly limited according to the ancestral system.
Therefore, the psychological feeling of being able to marry a princess who stays in the capital is really very different from marrying a princess who goes to Mongolia.
Ji Ling hugged Brother Qi tightly and let his two small hands hug her neck, thinking that from now on, she is also a mother-in-law...
Maybe soon in the future, there will be grandchildren and granddaughters.
Ji Ling felt like she was about to retire and take care of her children and grandchildren...
Outside the inner palace gate of the Forbidden City, the concubine's family has prepared saddles, horses and armor, and is waiting at the Meridian Gate to receive them.
The third princess ascended to the throne, lowered the curtain, lined up the ceremonial equipment, and led the torch in front of her. Fujin and the concubine on the other side of the throne accompanied her in the carriage, and first went to the Yangxin Hall to kowtow to Yinzhen and thank her father for his kindness in raising her.
Then, a series of procedures went down, and it was the emperor's turn to give instructions - to teach the princess to behave as a woman and not to humiliate her husband or indulge in any arrogance.
The third princess, dressed in wedding clothes, knelt under the jade steps and listened to the instructions. After listening to the instructions, she kowtowed to the emperor.
Then there is a banquet for the prince-in-law, the prince-son-in-law’s tribe, and officials of third rank or above.
In addition, the husband-in-law’s family should also prepare a banquet with more than a hundred tables to entertain everyone.
As for the third princess moving into the Princess Mansion, it was done in two steps.
The first step is for the third princess and her husband to move into the princess mansion with their attendants and daily necessities.
The second step is to move and move all the belongings to the princess' mansion. The reason why it is necessary to move in two steps is because of this reason. The emperor's reward and the items prepared by the consort's family are too many.
Yinzhen had already made arrangements, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent an internal manager and an official to escort various heavy objects as well as the princess's own beloved things.
In the Chengqian Palace, Ji Ling was still worried. For a while, he couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep well.
As a result, not long after, my daughter came to Guining.
At the Guining Banquet, people from the Yangxin Hall were sent to pick up the Imperial Concubine early in the morning.
Ji Ling was sitting in the Yangxin Hall, restless, waiting for Yinzhen to go to court and waiting for her daughter to return to her parents' home.
As a result, as soon as the third princess came in, Ji Ling could hardly recognize her!
I really can't recognize it.
The third princess is now Pingpingtingting and moves calmly. At first glance, she looks a lot like Princess Shushen back then, but she is more graceful and agile than Shushen, who is more careful and restrained.
The two children stood below, just like a couple.
Ji Ling raised her eyes and knew something in her heart when she saw the look of the third princess. There was joy and peace between her brows and eyes.
The prince-in-law and the third princess kowtowed together below. When they stood up, the prince-in-law helped the third princess to stand up. There was unconcealable tenderness and sweetness in their movements.
After all, he was a young man. Although his actions were calm and restrained, when he looked at his little wife, the temperature in his eyes was too hot.
Ji Ling couldn't help but look away.
The love for the third princess in his eyes could not be hidden or pretended.
When the third princess stood up, she stretched out her hand to support her husband's forehead, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled.
Seeing that her daughter and her husband-in-law were so in love with each other, Ji Ling was so happy that she ate the meal with such joy that the tips of her chopsticks were trembling.
Yinzhen had a smile on his face and glanced at her several times during the dinner.
Ji Ling understood what he meant, and said, "Be restrained, don't let the children laugh at you."
convergence!
How can I restrain myself?
As a mother, the happiest thing is to see her children be happy - this is ten times happier than her own life!
After finally finishing the meal, the prince-in-law replied to Yinzhen's words, and Ji Ling quickly took the third princess away.
Yinzhen said with a smile: "The two of you have a lot to say, let them do it!"
The prince-in-law smiled, but his eyes were still on the third princess.
Ji Ling took the third princess to the Yanxi Hall in the back hall. Mother and daughter sat down on the edge of the bed. Ji Ling stretched out his hand and took his daughter into his arms.
When she looked at her daughter's makeup today, she thought of the makeup she gave her daughter on the day she got married.
At that time, the etiquette nanny came over and whispered advice, saying that she had to follow the prescribed makeup.
Ji Ling thought: My daughter is married, isn't it the first time that the prince-in-law meets his wife today?
This first impression is the most important.
According to the rules of the palace, it must be painted with a white face and bright red lips.
Not to mention good-looking or not, just this kind of makeup that is not cute and cookie-cutter, apart from making people think of it as "heavy makeup", it is difficult to impress people at all.
On the wedding day, Ji Ling used her lifelong skills and tried her best to give her daughter a super soft-girl makeup—smudge the ends of the eyes downwards, trim the contours to weaken the length of the atrium, and increase the childish softness of the face.
There were also false eyelashes. In order to create the most charming look, she glued them on one by one with tweezers.
The same goes for the lower eyelashes.
Red-toned lipstick is too strong and strong, and in the eyes of straight men, it can easily turn into a heavy makeup look.
Ji Ling finally used water red lipstick for her daughter, and also mixed some pink into it to add a girly and soft look to the makeup.
Ji Ling had not done bridal makeup for a long time. After that, Ji Ling's hands were sore and trembling for several days.
But this is the happiest bridal makeup she has ever done in her life.
The third princess is beautiful to begin with, but when she is dressed up like this, she looks like a little fairy, especially her eyes, which are like those of a deer, smart and cute.
She still remembered that the third princess looked in the mirror, looked at the lipstick on her lips, stretched out her hand to touch it gently, looked at the surrounding palace maids, and finally pulled her sleeve and asked her: "Mother, what color is this lipstick?"
, I’m afraid it’s against the rules of the palace, right?”
Ji Ling put the last layer of lipstick on her and covered her head with her own hands.
