As soon as the emperor came, the ladies of the clan who had been crowding in front of the imperial concubine suddenly became restrained and knelt down one by one to salute and kowtow. Ji Ling also wanted to get up, but Yinzhen reached out and took her hands and helped her up.
.
Once I grasped it, I never let go.
He personally held her hand and walked to the most prestigious place before sitting down. Concubine Jin and Concubine Xi sat closest to Concubine Ji - one due to their position and the other due to affection.
Further down, there are other concubines accompanying him.
Concubine Qian, Concubine Mao and others are all surrounding Concubine Jin to apologize.
Jin Concubine's face was just pale.
She didn't plan to pay much attention to them.
In the palace, Yinzhen did not sit on the throne for too long. The silk and bamboo songs and dances below started. He got up and walked to Ji Ling, put his hand on her shoulders, leaned down and said something to her with a smile.
Concubine Xi looked over from a distance and saw that Concubine Ji just nodded, glared at the emperor again, and didn't know what she said.
The emperor laughed, reached out and pinched her ears, his eyes full of love.
Concubine Xi withdrew her eyes and chewed the food in her mouth in silence. After a while, the palace became quiet, and another singer came up. For a while, the kunpi played melodiously, and she sang and sighed three times in a row.
Mao Bi was beside her, listening to the rhythm of the ditty, and unconsciously playing the rhythm slowly with her hands.
Now that it was difficult for Concubine Qian to get close to the imperial concubine, she took Concubine Jin and called her "sister", constantly looking for topics to talk to her.
Jin Bin made some perfunctory remarks at first, but then stopped answering.
Concubine Qian didn’t feel embarrassed and continued to say,
The music in the hall changed its style in the blink of an eye. It was sung again and again with the theme of celebrating birthdays. Ji Ling found it a bit boring and couldn't help but yawn.
When she yawned, Yinzhen saw it.
He asked her: "Sleepy?"
Ji Ling quickly sat up straight, rubbed his neck, shook his head and said, "It's not bad."
Yinzhen glanced down and saw that the people below were busy. There were also a few Chang Zai who saw that a play was about to end and wanted to take advantage of this moment to come forward and offer tea to the imperial concubine.
Yinzhen raised his hand and made a gesture.
It was rare for a few young Chang Zai to have the qualifications to enter the palace to attend the banquet. Seeing the impatient look on the emperor's face, they were so frightened that they lowered their heads and moved aside. Those who reacted more slowly were scrambled to retreat.
His companion stepped on his foot and stumbled.
Concubine Qian was standing next to her, lowering her head and covering her mouth with a smile.
After this birthday banquet, the Tiandi family was filled with all kinds of gifts - and these were just gifts from the concubines of the inner palace.
Because it was getting late, Ji Ling was too sleepy to take it apart and take a closer look. He just asked Qixi to draw up a gift list and wait until tomorrow.
Yinzhen accompanied her back. When she saw Ji Ling come out after washing, wearing only single clothes, and Qixi and Bixue standing behind her, holding cloth handkerchiefs to help her dry her hair, she could no longer open her eyes.
Yinzhen walked over and asked the maids to get down. He stood behind Ji Ling, bent down and picked her up. After walking to the bed and putting her down, he reached out and touched her cheek, and said with a smile: "Why?
Are you so sleepy?"
Ji Ling's eyes were red and she whispered: "I'm getting older and can't stay up late anymore."
Yinzhen laughed muffledly and reached for a handkerchief to wipe her hair. Ji Ling let him wipe it without moving. She even moved her body and lay on Yinzhen's lap. She sighed again and said:
"I'm really old and can't bear it anymore."
Yinzhen suddenly said seriously: "Lingling can take the elixir with me and ascend to the fairyland together."
Ji Ling:......!
She grabbed Fourth Master's wrist with her backhand, ignoring the water drops still dripping from her hair, and said: "...Your Majesty!"
Yinzhen knew what she was going to say, so he lowered his head and gently touched her forehead, and then said softly: "Lingling, I know you are worried about me. You have always been in the deep palace. I don't know that those Taoist priests and worldly experts are asking for help."
It is available immediately, and I will have to wait until the opportunity arises before I can meet it.
In the past few years, I have sent people to travel around and pay close attention to visits, and then I invited several experts! I dare not hope that they will achieve immortality, but yesterday, there was a new elixir, which is peaceful and smooth, and it is of great benefit to take it.
Thinking of your words, I only took one pill, and up to now, I feel very energetic. Even though we have been having a banquet all night, I am not tired at all."
He paused: "I can take it with you."
Ji Ling:…………I’ll go!
Yinzhen's eyes were deep, he stood up and walked slowly for a few steps in the spring pavilion of Tiandi Family. He stretched out his hand to touch a porcelain vase with a peony flower pattern, and with a smile on his face, he said: "The gathering of immortals in Zifu, Danqiu, the sun and the moon are long."
"The fragrant dew from the cactus floats, and the flowers admire the jade tower in spring. It comes out of the steamer and pottery, and remains in the world forever. The staff also never grows old, and it bends several times to live forever."
Ji Ling: I feel... you are here, you are making things out of nothing, secretly making things up, imagining things out of thin air, making things up out of thin air, speechless, hopeless...
She calmed down and got up from the bed. Yinzhen was standing in front of the window when she felt a soft body coming from behind, and a pair of hands hugged his waist.
It was Lingling who posted it.
Yinzhen's heart moved slightly, turned around and hugged her waist.
Ji Ling frowned softly and said: "Your Majesty, during the Tang Dynasty, there was an emperor who liked to take pills. He took too many pills and became insane, irritable and suspicious. Not only did he not cure his disease, he also damaged his body. In the end, he even
He killed all the palace people and concubines around him... He, he is crazy."
When she finished speaking, her voice trembled slightly: "Your Majesty, this elixir is really not a good thing. Please, don't take it."
Yinzhen breathed out lightly, his face looked ugly. Ji Ling could see that he tried hard to suppress the displeasure in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Lingling, I have eaten very little. The emperor you are talking about, I
I know which one it is! But he was deceived by others, and the Taoist priest he hired was only famous, and his method of refining alchemy was also inappropriate, so naturally he cannot live forever."
Ji Ling's face was almost full of guilt - listening to these words, Yinzhen had studied the history of alchemy of emperors throughout the ages.
He is really completely addicted to it!
She was just thinking about how to persuade Yinzhen, when she heard Yinzhen whisper again: "Don't worry, after taking it, my spirit has indeed improved a lot, and my temperament has become more peaceful. These are all good signs."
He paused, glanced at Ji Ling, and suddenly hugged her tightly in his arms, lowered his head to her ear, spoke in a very low voice, and said word by word: "Ten thousand steps back, I am crazy."
, I already have a backup plan."
Ji Ling buried her head in his arms and was restrained by him, unable to move. She subconsciously asked, "What's the next step?"
Yinzhen lowered his head and spoke slowly in her ear.
There was a sound in Ji Ling's mind, and his whole body was shaken, and he looked up at Yinzhen.
It took her a while to break free from Yinzhen's arms, take a step back, straighten her collar, and kneel down solemnly.
For a moment I didn't know what to say.
Yinzhen stretched out his hand to help her up and said softly: "I and your child, Lingling, you don't have to be like this."
