Chapter 74: Ji Jing's Reflections

The first update

Ji Jing has been watching the life of the emperor's family of four these days, even if the princess obviously lives in Concubine Li's palace, she comes to ask for peace every morning, then goes to school, goes back to Yongshou Palace for dinner at noon, takes a nap with Xiao Xixi, and stays in Yongshou Palace until dinner before returning to Concubine Li's palace. She didn't even remember that the princess belonged to Concubine Li.

Yongshou Palace is the home of their family of four, just like the most ordinary family. The emperor goes out every day to deal with political affairs, and then he will come back to get together with his wife and children, and they talk about political affairs and the interesting things that happened to the children today; And the children will also rush to talk to their parents, and the family is noisy, but it is also full of happiness.

Ji Jing couldn't believe that a family would be like this? Her parents' home was full of rules, and she had thought it was the most modest family life.

When she first saw the royal family like this, she really despised it. She felt that even if the royal people could do whatever they wanted, they should be a model for all the people, and they should engrave the rules in their hearts.

But slowly, she felt more and more that this was a family. Or rather, she began to ask herself, did she really have a family? Of course, her mother and sister are, but why does her mother and siblings get along so differently from the royal family?

Who is wrong?

In fact, she has been so chaotic for a while now. So she never went home once, and the salary she got was sent home to her mother, and she quietly watched Qingyu, who was not a few years older than herself, be herself seriously.

She sometimes feels that Qingyu kept herself in the palace just to let herself see her clearly and see how she became a wife and a mother.

Yes, she is just a wife, a mother. Even if it is an external political matter, she will make remarks and let the children participate in the discussion for the emperor's reference, but she does not interfere in the government affairs, but calmly regards everything about this man as her own, including the man himself.

And what made her even more strange was that this man also felt that this was right, and he was controlled willingly.

She thought of her parents' marriage again, she saw it since she was a child, how could her parents have been like this? The father is a strong man who holds everything in the family, including all the family. The home is another place that the father manages.

Thinking about it this way, she felt that Qingyu was a strong person like her father. But when I looked at it again, I felt that it was wrong. Because as I said earlier, my father intervened strongly in all aspects of their lives. Including how they should be housekeeping, how they should work, and how they should spend their money. He intervened, including how the servants should be managed.

Qingyu is an excellent housewife, every day she can see Qingyu see countless shopkeepers, and then deal with all kinds of things in batches. Only then did she know why the self-sufficiency that the royal family had not been able to achieve for thousands of years, and there was still money to support armaments, it was really all the credit of Qingyu alone.

She sometimes watched her take the time to tell the prince why she did that, and couldn't help but ask Mama Lin, did the mother teach the princess like this? Mama Lin looked at her with strange eyes, and with this look, Ji Jing also understood that of course the shrewd eldest princess was also taught in this way.

When she thought of Celestia, she thought of her little sister again. She always felt that her little sister had been taught well enough. Whether it is a female worker or a calligrapher, she has shown a super talent.

But look at the eldest princess, although she doesn't have many works as a female worker, every one of them can represent that she is worthy of the title of eldest princess. Yes, she should call it a work, not like her sister, embroidering a veil for her family and helping her mother do what she can.

In the words of the queen mother, she is the most noble girl in the country, she doesn't need to do that, she learns embroidery, that's art.

As for calligraphy, Ji Jing can only sigh, the eldest princess has all kinds of top masters in the country teaching her, so her attainments in calligraphy and painting far exceed her sister.

Forget about these, think about the eldest brother who is scolded by the eldest princess every day, his intelligence is also rare, reading, discussing politics with his parents, he can ask questions, and then abide by his own ethics, so the eldest princess under the same education looks impetuous, but she also absolutely believes that when the eldest princess goes out of the palace to build a mansion, her ability in all aspects is far beyond her little sister.

And is all this really just because she's a princess, just because she has countless resources? Ji Jing sometimes can't convince herself like that.

Looking at the meals eaten by the four royal people, they may not be as good as their family, and the eldest brother can only eat one dish he likes a day. And because the eldest princess feels sorry for her brother, she will try to pick some dishes that her brother also likes and use them as dishes to eat every day, so that her brother can eat two dishes he likes. However, the queen mother knows their sister and brother very well, and when she sorts out the water bill, she will arrange it, and she will not let Rong An be punished.

Because of this, she found that no matter how Rong An scolded Xixi for being a stupid, the more the relationship between their sister and brother was incomparable.

Sometimes when watching their family of four together from a distance, their smiles are all similar, and no one will feel that this is not a family.

"It seems like you haven't taken a vacation these days?" After Xixi took a nap, Ji Jing was called to the study in the east wing, Qingyu was crooked on the couch by the window, and she looked lazy and comfortable in the afternoon sun.

"Yes!" Ji Jing looked at her, her face was a little pale at this time, and it seemed that only at this time could she see that she was a little thin.

"Originally, you had a day off every ten days, but if you don't, it is said that the palace will compensate you. However, the palace rules also say that if you can't take a vacation because the palace requires you to be compensated. ”

"Xie Niangniang, please don't worry about it, the slave just doesn't want to take a vacation at this time, and has already reported to Mama Lin, so it should be a vacation." Ji Jing was taught at a glance, of course this kind of thing will not be caught by Qingyu.

"This palace knows, Mama Lin told this palace, but this palace still wants to tell you to take a break as soon as possible, because every ten days it is a day off, not only to let you rest, but also to let Xixi rest." Qingyu smiled and said softly.

Ji Jing's face finally changed a little, but she still lowered her head and didn't speak.

"Hongu has always thought that you are a wonderful woman, well-behaved, filial, intelligent, and kind. But Hongu doesn't like you very much, do you know why? Qingyu sighed lightly and said lazily.

Ji Jing raised her head and looked at the most powerful woman in the world, although she saved her life, she had to say that she didn't like her either. It's just that the queen can say that she doesn't like herself, but she must not say that she doesn't like her.

"Hongu also believes that you don't like Hongu either!" Qingyu looked into her eyes and smiled, and said it directly for her.
