Chapter five hundred and fiftieth IX old things exposed
After the third princess' confinement period was over, it was already June, which was almost the hottest time of the year.
In the Old Summer Palace, because of the color of the lake and water, the temperature is several degrees lower than that in the Forbidden City. Even so, the early morning heat is still so hot that people can't breathe.
In the spring, the Tiandi family had already placed ice buckets on all sides. Although the imperial doctor had said that the cold was too severe and it would be difficult to conceive, it didn't matter to Ji Ling who had already given birth to three buns.
The air-conditioning in the ice bucket rose up, and for breakfast there were silk flower cakes sent from the imperial kitchen of Jiuzhou Qingyan Palace. Qixi helped Ji Ling comb her hair into a simple and refreshing bun, and tied her hair tightly
Stretched upward, it is beautiful and powerful.
And it’s extremely cool.
Finally, a large green peony flower was pinned on the side of the bun. The peony flower was almost transparent, with only a faint hint of green. It was luxurious yet elegant.
Ji Ling was sitting in the main hall, while the seventh brother ran around the front hall at the top of his lungs and began to recite the poems that the sixth brother had taught him yesterday: "The early summer is peaceful, the fish are playing with the new flowers, and the West Lake is full of mist. In the silver waves.
, Throwing a golden shuttle, people singing lotus picking songs.
Entering the rural market in autumn, I can easily scroll through the compendium, and read five cartloads of books in ten years. I left the white house, walked to Yunqu, and lived in Tantan Mansion."
While reciting the poem, he clapped his hands and shook his head.
When Ji Ling listened to this poem, he felt that the artistic conception was lofty and elegant, so he stuffed a mouthful of pastry into his mouth and said with a smile: "Which poet wrote this poem?"
The seventh prince shook his head and said: "It's Huang Ama!"
Ji Ling almost choked in her throat after a mouthful of pastry and started coughing. Qixi quickly came up to help her carry it.
The seventh elder brother whispered: "The sixth elder brother made me memorize a lot of Huang Ama's poems, and this -"
He raised his little head and spoke in a childlike voice: "The stone house with thorns and thorns rests on the green hills, and the mountains of smoke are covered with red flowers in the morning and evening. The chess game is played in the shade of green trees, and the wine is red with red roses.
Sending you the fragrance of tender lotus flowers in the evening. Living leisurely means having nothing to do. A bed in front of the wind is full of butterflies and dreams."
"Die Meng..." Ji Ling said softly.
It is said in Zhuangzi: If people can break the boundaries between life and death, things and myself, does it mean that they will be unhappy everywhere?
I don’t know whether Zhuang Zhou dreamed that he became a butterfly, or whether the butterfly dreamed that he became Zhuang Zhou?
After breakfast, the seventh elder brother was already clamoring to go find his elder brother.
In fact, he had reached the age where his elder brother was studying. He was just acting like a spoiled child. He hugged Huang Ama's neck several times and cried, wiping away his tears. He also said that since his elder brother was here, he didn't need to do well in his studies.
This didn't sound like much at the time, but when Ji Ling came back and savored it carefully, she felt that this child was actually quite perceptive.
His intuition is pretty accurate.
On Hongxin's side, the people who came to pick up the Seventh Brother also arrived. After the people in this courtyard left, Ji Ling just wanted to go in, but heard an announcement from outside, saying that Ma Chang was asking to see him.
"Who?" Ji Ling almost thought he heard wrongly.
"She's the only one?"
Ma Changzai has always been timid. If she had not followed Li Guiren, or concubine Qian, or Concubine Xi, she would not have had the courage to come to the imperial concubine's palace alone.
Ji Ling thought for a while and ordered someone to bring her in.
As soon as Ma Chang came in, he knelt down and said: "My concubine, I would like to send my regards to the Imperial Concubine. May the Imperial Concubine be blessed with peace of mind. I have something important to tell you."
She spoke such a long paragraph directly without even a pause or breath, and her voice was slightly trembling.
Ji Ling recognized it as soon as she heard it - Ma Changzai had been thinking about it in her heart for a long time, fearing that something was wrong and she couldn't bear it anymore, so she had to say it to herself.
When everyone in the palace retreated, Bixue was going out with Brother Qi. Only Qixi was waiting beside Ji Ling in the palace, then she heard Ma Changzai trembling: "I wonder if the imperial concubine still remembers the portrait of the king back then?
Did you miss Danzhu?"
Ji Ling's heart trembled, and she stood up and said, "Come here with me."
She took Ma Changzai into the Nuan Pavilion, and then said: "Tell me."
Ma Changzai kowtowed and said with tears in his eyes: "My concubine is in a low position. I didn't dare to say this at first. Even if I knew it, I would just swallow it in my stomach and never say it in my life. But if I
If I had not followed Li Guiren and gotten close to Concubine Xi in recent years, I would not have known that this matter was done by someone arranged by Concubine Xi! Although you were favored by the Imperial Concubine at that time, your status was not what it is now.
With such respect, Concubine Xi should still want to give it a try..."
Ji Ling's grip on the chair tightened.
…
After Ma Chang finished speaking, he added: "There is another thing that the Imperial Concubine must also have heard. Concubine Xi ran very diligently to greet the Emperor. People outside only thought she was greeting him. In fact, every time she
Either give me Taoist robes or give me alchemy stoves."
Ji Ling glanced at Ma Changzai, then lowered his gaze. He stared at Ma Changzai for a long time, and finally said: "You are just a Changzai. In the palace, people speak softly. If it were anyone else, I'm afraid they would choose to swallow these old things for the rest of their lives.
Why did you come to tell me?"
Ma Changzai raised his hands in tears and showed them to Ji Ling: "The Imperial Concubine, look! The concubine is being driven by him and is suffering so much! In recent days, Concubine Xi has become more and more serious. She hates the concubine for being useless.
So she vented all her anger on her concubine! She once forced her to sing a song by the water platform in the Old Summer Palace in order to win over the emperor. When she saw that this plan failed, she humiliated her in every possible way. Fortunately, the emperor's concubine was her concubine at the time.
Rescue."
As Ma Changzai spoke, he kowtowed deeply and said: "The Imperial Concubine is so doting on the Sixth Palace, as if she were in the clouds, and the maids and concubines are like ants on the ground. The Imperial Concubine, you are so generous and tolerant, perhaps it is no longer possible."
Remember, I am extremely grateful to you!"
…
In the Old Summer Palace, since the incident in the depths of the cave, the princes' residence and place of study and homework have been changed to another place.
The seventh elder brother grabbed his brother's clothes and followed Hongxin wherever he went.
Today is a rare opportunity for Hongxin to finish school early. The two brothers sit together and fish in the front lake of Yuanmingyuan.
Fishing is all about calmness of mind, but Brother Qi was like a happy little sparrow, chirping non-stop.
Whenever any fish came by, he would scare them away.
Hongxin smiled and raised his hand, rubbed his brother's head and said softly: "Stop talking."
The seventh elder brother hugged his brother's arm and rubbed his little head on his arm. As expected, he obeyed and stopped talking. After a while, he watched his brother catch several fish, and the little eunuchs came over and picked up the fish baskets.
Hongxin lowered the hook again, and saw a slight ripple in the water. This one was about to be hooked again. The seventh brother lay on his elder brother's shoulder, with his chubby little hands around his mouth, and whispered: "Brother, E Niang and Huang
Amma has discussed it and said that she wants to marry you Fujin!"
Hongxin's hand shook, and the fishing rod jumped. The big fish in the water that was about to take the bait was startled, flicked its tail, and swam away immediately.
Hongxin glared at Brother Seventh, blushed rarely and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
The seventh elder brother was very aggrieved: "I'm not talking nonsense! It was Huang Ama who said it - saying that the third sister already has a child, and it's time to choose Fujin for you."
