Chapter 127 Hongyao's First Birthday
Chapter 127 Hongyao's First Birthday
The weather is cold in winter, but the hearts of the people in Chuxiu Palace are warm.
Today is Prince Hongyao’s first birthday, and the palace people all feel proud.
This is the prince of Chuxiu Palace. Only when the prince is well will Chuxiu Palace be well.
The virtuous concubine has always been kind to others. When the prince turned one year old, she rewarded the palace servants with a monthly allowance. Knowing that the palace servants had a hard life, she also gave them extra charcoal.
Everyone in Chuxiu Palace speaks highly of Concubine Xian.
Working in Chuxiu Palace is a popular job.
The entire Chuxiu Palace was filled with joy, and today's protagonist Hongyao was also dressed festively.
He has a chubby little face, just like a doll in a New Year picture, and is very adorable.
Hongyao was in a state of activeness. He pulled at the nanny's clothes with his little hands and leaned his head to look at Huimin.
Huimin looked at her son's bright eyes and smiled too.
"Hongyao, remember this, just catch him boldly."
Hongyao stared at Huimin, not knowing whether she understood or not, and just smiled.
Huimin was not bothered by these things. Anything that could be placed on the table for the one-year celebration had a good meaning. She just didn't want to be like the Sixth Prince, who couldn't grab anything and ended up crying on the table.
This time, Hongyao's first birthday celebration was even more grand than Hongqing's, and the emperor was determined to avenge his previous humiliation.
Let the royal family see that the emperor has more than just a stupid prince.
The sons of dragons and grandsons of phoenixes should not be looked down upon.
Looking at Hongyao, who was dressed like a little bun, the emperor was full of expectations.
As soon as the auspicious time arrived, Su Peisheng immediately announced the start.
Wash your hands, roll away disasters, wear a crown, put on gold, comb your hair...
The process went on step by step, and finally it was time for the most anticipated ceremony, the one-year-old baby.
I saw this...
There were two jade ornaments, two jade fan pendants, a gold key, a round silver box, a pair of rhinoceros sticks, an arc bow, an arrow, a writing set, a brocade plate, and a fruit table.
Hongyao was put on the table, and he looked very curious.
Huimin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her son was not at all nervous.
Like Fu Cha Peiyun at that time, she also encouraged Hong Yao.
"Go ahead and take whichever one you like."
Hongyao seemed to understand and crawled forward.
The emperor was so nervous that he held his breath involuntarily.
Pray in your heart and don't make any mistakes.
Hongyao walked around the gold key and silver box and stopped at the fan pendant. Everyone held their breath.
It seems that the Seventh Prince is interested in this pendant.
Unexpectedly, Hongyao moved again and didn't touch the pendant at all.
Instead, he crawled to the arrow, grabbed it in his hand, and waved it in one direction. The maid who was singing the ceremony shouted:
"My brother is in good health, intelligent and brave. He will definitely be a Baturu in the future."
As a result, Hongyao held the bow and arrow in one hand and the four treasures of the study in his arms with the other.
The nanny was even happier, "The little prince will be very talented in the future, both civil and military."
Unexpectedly, Hongyao grabbed another book, and the nanny praised him highly, and the emperor was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
"Seventh Prince will be both civil and military in the future, great."
Seeing that the emperor was happy, the clan members also agreed.
After the first birthday ceremony, Hongyao brought back everything he had caught to Chuxiu Palace.
Today is Hongyao's first birthday. Although the emperor would come to Chuxiu Palace in the evening according to custom, he still had government affairs to deal with, so he returned to the Yangxin Palace first.
Xia Dongchun and An Lingrong took advantage of this opportunity to follow Huimin to Chuxiu Palace.
Xia Dongchun was so happy. Hongyao performed so well that she felt very proud.
But before Xia Dongchun could say anything, Hongyao handed the small bow and arrow he had been holding in his hand to Xia Dongchun. Seeing that Xia Dongchun didn't understand, he anxiously shouted:
"Chao...brew...mother, give it to me."
Xia Dongchun reacted immediately, still a little incredulous.
"This is for me."
Huimin was not surprised. When Hongyao was doing the one-year-old celebration, Huimin saw him taking the bow and arrow and waving it in the direction of Xia Dongchun. It turned out that he wanted to give it to Xia Dongchun.
Xia Dongchun comes to play with Hongyao every day, and she likes to make some small wooden swords, small wooden bows and so on. Hongyao has seen this many times and naturally thinks that Xia Dongchun likes these. Looking at the bow and arrow on the table, he wants to keep them for her.
Xia Dongchun held the bow and arrow proudly and showed off to An Lingrong who was standing beside him.
"Oh, who doesn't have one? Hongyao still prefers me, the Empress Chao, to some nobles."
Xia Dongchun laughed in a naughty way, but before Xia Dongchun could continue to be proud, Hongyao gave the book in his hand to An Lingrong.
An Lingrong also smiled, "Thank you Hongyao for thinking of Empress An."
"Our Hongyao is really considerate."
It seems that An Lingrong often reads to Hongyao, and Hongyao started thinking about it.
Xia Dongchun was stunned for a moment, "Hongyao, you are treating everyone equally."
Hongyao didn't care about Xia Dongchun's roller coaster mood.
It was already difficult for him to hold a small bow and arrow and a book in his two little hands, let alone the four treasures of the study.
Hongyao then shouted to the other maid who followed him:
"Give it to mother, okay, mother, mother, mother."
Hongyao shouted louder and louder, calling his mother with greater enthusiasm.
The nanny was also very tactful and respectfully presented the set of four treasures of the study to Huimin.
How could Huimin not understand Hongyao's meaning? He was saying that the best was for her mother.
This kid still loves his mother the most. Huimin took Hongyao from the nanny, hugged him and kissed him.
"My good son, you are so filial. You remember to bring gifts for my mother and your two wives during the week."
Hongyao giggled when Huimin kissed him.
Xia Dongchun also came forward and said, "Yeah, kid, you haven't forgotten any of them."
An Lingrong looked at Hongyao and teased:
"Our Hongyao will definitely please the girls in the future. He will be a caring man."
Hearing An Lingrong say this, the three of them laughed.
Hongyao saw that his mother and the others were laughing, so he laughed too.
After playing with Hongyao for a while, the child felt tired. Today was a birthday celebration with many steps, and the child lacked energy and was already tired. Huimin asked the nanny to take him downstairs to sleep.
Huimin also chatted with Xia Dongchun and An Lingrong.
When Xia Dongchun saw Hongyao leaving, he didn't know what he was thinking about, and a strange smile began to appear on his face.
When An Lingrong saw this, she turned her head away in disgust and stopped looking at her.
Seeing An Lingrong's reaction, Xia Dongchun became unhappy.
"What do you mean? You still despise me. I'm happy for our Hongyao."
As he spoke, Xia Dongchun winked at the two of them.
"Did you see Fu Cha Peiyun's expression?"
"Wow~ It's like singing an opera, so interesting."
"It's embarrassing for their Hongqing, do they want our Hongyao to learn from the Sixth Prince?"
An Lingrong agreed this time.
"Yeah, who is Lanpin showing that expression to? It's Hongyao's big day, and she's so unhappy."
"Our Hongyao is favored by the emperor, and it is his own ability to bring honor to the emperor. Does she think that everyone should be like Hongqing?"
Huimin was moved when she saw the two of them talking to each other about defending Hongyao.
Both of them were on Hongyao's side.
But Huimin still had to give them a heads-up. Once Hongqing's affairs were exposed, Fu Cha Peiyun would go crazy on the spot.
They must not be affected.
Huimin considered her words and said cryptically:
"Sixth Prince seems to be a slow learner and a bit dull, but we should not offend Concubine Lan."
"A mother can do anything when she's desperate."
As soon as these words were spoken, Xia Dongchun and An Lingrong looked at each other, both thoughtful.
