Chapter 25: Birth
March 28 was Feng Ling's thirteenth birthday, and it was also her last birthday in her parents' house before she got married.
In the middle of the night, the snake spirit sneaked into Feng Ling's room, gave her another bag of beans, and quickly slipped away after saying something: "The dragon girl said that you have to work hard to realize your dream of becoming a queen." ”
Feng Ling snorted: I am about to marry the crown prince, and I am getting closer and closer to the position of the queen.
Early in the morning, Feng Ling was woken up by the nurse, and the maid hugged her to get up and dress up, as grand as a marriage.
Feng Ling smiled and said, "Isn't it just a birthday? It makes Miss Ben think that she is getting married today." ”
The red peach, who was combing her hair, said with a smile: "It was the old lady who told the slaves and maids to dress up the eldest lady well, saying that the prince was going to come to the door today." It is said that people who are betrothed cannot meet each other......"
Hongmei interrupted Hongtao's words while sorting out the dress that Feng Ling was going to wear: "How old is my young lady?
The red heart hand quickly combed a flying fairy bun for Feng Ling, and the hairpin with a gold-encrusted ruby was pinned to the bun, and the same earrings were hung on the ears. Next, the red heart painted Feng Ling's eyebrows, puffed on the carmine, and then changed into the prepared dress. A person whose body has not yet opened his full length, but whose appearance is already beautiful, is presented in the eyes of everyone.
A few waiting maids took a deep breath, they knew that their young lady was beautiful, and today's dress made them all reluctant to look away.
Hongmei clapped her hands and said: "Miss is so beautiful, she looks like a fairy, this will make the prince so confused that he doesn't know the north, south, west, and north." ”
Feng Ling laughed: "The bad girl knows how to joke me, what kind of beauty has the prince never seen? He grew up in the palace since he was a child." ”
Feng Ling looked at the bronze mirror and nodded with satisfaction: "Each person will be rewarded with five taels of silver." ”
A group of maids and women hugged Feng Ling and went to the main hall to greet a few elders. Feng Ling knew that for her birthday, the family had also put a lot of thought into it.
Feng Ling is lively by nature, simple-minded, and knows how to reciprocate when he enjoys the favor of his family. She teased the old people to be happy, honored the elders, and loved her brother and sister-in-law. is such a well-behaved, delicate and sweet-mouthed, grateful girl, who in the family is not pampered and loved?
When Feng Ling walked into the main hall, everyone's eyes lit up, this little girl was more beautiful than usual, it can be seen that no matter how beautiful people are, they have to dress up.
Feng Ling gave a formal salute to the present, the old lady beckoned Feng Ling to sit beside her, the old lady was wearing a dark blue new dress with peonies, her gray hair was combed behind, a golden hairpin was fixed diagonally, and the forehead was protected by a large eastern pearl inlaid in the middle of the word Fu on her head.
She hugged Feng Ling and praised her: "Ling'er is dressed like a little fairy, grandmother likes it." ”
Feng Lingjiao smiled and said: "The granddaughter is with her grandmother, and Ling'er is a little fairy, so it can be seen that the grandmother is a big fairy." The crowd laughed.
The old lady smiled and wiped her eyes: "You little monkey makes fun of my old woman." She pushed Feng Ling to the side of the Duchess of Guo: "You are a little fairy, and your mother is a big fairy." The crowd laughed again.
The Duchess of Guo hugged Feng Ling fondly and touched her face: "Ling'er is so good-looking, isn't it the little virgin in front of Guanyin who has thrown herself into our house." Everyone was happy again, Feng Ling laughed, thinking to herself, I can see those two little boys, how can I look good.
With a smile on his face, the old grandfather picked up a box and handed it to Feng Ling: "Ling'er, grandfather gave you a birthday gift." Feng Ling hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and then took it with both hands, she opened it and looked at it, her face was joyful, a dagger inlaid with jade, extremely sharp. She smiled and said, "Thank you, grandfather, granddaughter loves this little dagger." ”
The old duchess also handed over a box, which contained a box of dragon-sized pearls, these beads were as big as each one without a single flaw. The old lady said: "Pearls will change color after a long time, so you can take and set whatever headdress you like." Feng Ling played with the shiny beads and said obediently: "Now my granddaughter has dug out the bottom of her grandmother's box." Everyone laughed.
The second lady said: "Your grandmother has a lot of good treasures, and she won't be able to dig them all for a while, so Feng Ling has to work hard...... Feng Ling said: "Let's dig hard." "Since the morning, the laughter in the town mansion has not stopped.
Grandpa Guo gave him a hard-to-find ancient book of martial arts. The eldest lady gave her custom-made jewelry, a butterfly headdress, earrings, and necklaces made of rubies. The wings of the butterfly are made so light that the butterfly seems to be dancing as the person moves. Feng Ling liked it very much, and said with a smile: "Mother, do you know that I am wearing pink clothes today? Ling'er will change into this butterfly jewelry in a while." ”
A soft sword given by the second master can be used as a belt. Feng Ling's mouth was sweet: "Thank you, second uncle, Ling'er likes it very much"
A set of red tourmaline jewelry given by the second lady is also very valuable.
Feng Ling's sister-in-law, the princess, gave her a jade bracelet of excellent color.
The prince gave her a hidden weapon that could fire three small poisonous needles. The royal family is too dangerous, and it is important for your sister to save her life. The second young master and the third young master who thought the same way also gave small weapons to carry.
Feng Ling hugged a bunch of gifts and said happily: "Let's see how rich Ling'er's harvest is today, if you continue to receive it like this every year, all your private rooms will belong to me." As soon as he said this, the master and the minions in the room burst into laughter.
As soon as Jing Hong entered the main gate of the Zhenguo Mansion, he heard everyone's laughter, a kind of happiness that he had never had in his two lives. He was very envious and looked forward to the day when he could laugh happily like this.
Jing Hong didn't want the people from the Guogong Mansion to greet him at the gate, so he asked the housekeeper to take him in directly without letting people report. He walked into the main hall, and the laughing people in the Guogong Mansion all stood up and saluted Jing Hong to give up their seats.
Jing Hong waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about these rites today, I came to visit my relatives today with the etiquette of a junior." "But everyone still let them come and go. Jing Hong sat down under the second uncle, and everyone no longer insisted on sitting down separately when they saw this, Jing Hong motioned to Hei Si to bring the things he wanted to send.
Hei Si held a large brocade box and stood in front of Feng Ling. Jing Hong said: "Sister Feng Ling, is this my birthday for you?" Feng Ling stretched out her hand to take it, opened the box and saw the gift inside, she showed a happy smile and said, "Thank you, Brother Jing Hong, Feng Ling likes it very much." ”
Jing Hong saw that Feng Ling was as beautiful as a little fairy today. I saw that she was wearing a pale pink long dress, with bright red peonies embroidered on the cuffs, a few auspicious clouds outlined by silver threads, a row of dark blue sea clouds on the hem, and a wide dark blue brocade wrap on her chest. The body that has not yet opened its full length gently turns the long skirt and spreads out, graceful and graceful like the wind blowing willows. Her eyes sparkled when she laughed, and a pair of small dimples were sweet and cute.
Jing Hong's heart beat faster, and he especially liked to see Feng Ling's happy appearance, which made his mood happy.
The old Duchess and Duchess saw the prince's intentions for Feng Ling, and the more they looked at him, the more they liked him.
The Duchess said to Jing Hong: "I haven't seen the prince for ten years, and when I see it now, the prince is becoming more and more handsome and steady." The first queen in the spirit of heaven will also be pleased. ”
Jinghong said: "I still remember when I was a child, my mother asked me to call you aunt, and she told me that you were her best sister. ”
The Duchess nodded: "Yes, we grew up together. Later, we each got married and had children, so we spent very little time together. ”
The Duchess told everyone about her past with the former queen.
