As soon as they finished worshipping the gods, an eunuch ran to the Taiji Hall to ask for their names. Empress Fang had some free time here, so she became more friendly with Wei An: "What do you like to eat and play?"
He smiled again and said, "You are already eleven years old, right? Have you celebrated your eleventh birthday?"
Wei An nodded: "It was on the seventh day of the seventh month."
Empress Fang looked at her mother in surprise and said, "It's fate. I was also born in July, but you were born on the seventh day, while I was born on the first day."
Old Madam Wei laughed and said, "How can you compare with the Empress? People who are born on the first day of the lunar month are very lucky. The Empress is even more blessed."
Queen Fang smiled. The bright red and gold-lined queen's formal dress she wore made her look even more elegant and noble. The phoenix crown on her head trembled and the two jade-colored butterflies pressing down her temples seemed to be about to fly high. She held the little prince in her arms and teased him with her fingers. After hearing this, she said, "Xiao Qi is also a good child. If he was not, he would not have this mother-daughter relationship with Yu You."
This sentence set the tone.
Everyone understood what he meant and responded in agreement.
Princess Changying tugged at her daughter's sleeve calmly, with a flash of hostility in her eyes.
The more Wei An became in the limelight, the more embarrassing Li Gui Niang's situation became.
But at this time, he must not show any dissatisfaction, because it is the Queen who should support Wei An! Queen Fang's intention is the Emperor Longqing's intention. At this time, he can only follow their wishes and support Wei An. There is nothing else he can do.
Li Gui Niang bit her lower lip so hard that it bled. She felt like she wanted to eat Wei An alive to vent her hatred. She had to use all her strength to restrain herself from saying those harsh words.
For Wei An, he didn't even have the heart to go up to him and say flattering words.
But Queen Fang asked her again: "Gui Niang, come here too!"
She smiled softly and gently: "You are a lucky little girl, thanks to your scroll of scriptures."
Then he asked her, "I heard that you have something to give to your brother as a gift this time?"
He calls them sister and brother all the time, which shows that he still values Li Gui Niang.
Princess Linjiang was choking on her breath, but she still gritted her teeth and laughed, "Mrs. Gui is really a blessed woman."
Queen Fang smiled with increasing satisfaction.
Li Gui Niang's pale face had finally regained some color. She was respectful and no longer arrogant. She smiled and replied, "I have prepared some small clothes..."
In the past, she was obviously very popular in front of Queen Fang. She could talk and laugh freely and often make Queen Fang laugh. But now, for some reason, she couldn't say a single witty word. Even the carefully prepared gifts lost a lot of their luster in her mouth.
Queen Fang hummed, then turned to ask Wei An: "Everyone has gifts to give, do you have any?"
Naturally, she wanted to help Li Gui Niang and Wei An.
Li Guiniang was carried forward for the Linjiang Palace, while Wei An was carried forward to stabilize the Beihou Palace and the hearts of a group of old ministers.
However, Li Gui Niang couldn't get anything good out of him, so she turned and gave the opportunity to Wei An.
Wei An smiled, “Yes.” She smiled, revealing two dimples and a pair of eyes. Her eyebrows were curved. “It’s the little dress I made myself.”
After such boasting and talking about personally seeing her, Queen Fang smiled and said, "I'll have to take a look at that."
I was really stunned when I saw it. The whole dress had so many colors. There was not even a single thread end to be found in the dress made up of so many pieces of cloth!
This needlework skill... ..
Although her son would definitely not wear it, the thought behind it was so rare that she couldn't help but exclaim in admiration: "How did you make this? It's not an exaggeration to describe this dress as flawless."
Polished out.
In the previous life, he made clothes for Princess Anhe. Princess Anhe laughed in front of Peng Caichen and said, "Make clothes for me? That's fine, but since you said you would make clothes for me, you have to be sincere. The clothes I wear don't need to be complicated. Just four words, perfect and seamless."
This one sentence almost blinded Wei An's eyes.
Wei An spent four years embroidering that piece of clothing, then throwing it away after embroidering it.
Four years later, when she handed it over, Princess Lian Anhe had nothing to say and actually started wearing the clothes she made.
She smiled when she recalled the past, and surprisingly, there was no ripple in her heart. She lowered her head and said calmly, "Your Highness, you are too kind."
When Queen Fang showed the little dress to everyone, everyone looked at Wei An differently again.
What on earth has this Wei Qi become
How come you can show off everything so well
Although this dress uses many colors, the color combination does not appear to be chaotic, but rather bright and festive. It is an outer garment, but it is more delicate than those worn next to the skin.
Old Madam Lian Fang couldn't help but sigh after rubbing it in her hands: "It's absolutely amazing. It's probably not much worse than the ones embroidered by the Weaving Bureau."
Old Madam Wei laughed quickly, "Don't praise her. She has only been learning embroidery from the old nanny beside me since she was a child. She spent countless lamp oil on embroidering this little dress. She just finished it last night and didn't sleep all night!"
Empress Fang looked at Wei An and her eyes softened. After a while, she smiled and nodded, "That's a good thing." She then joked to Old Madam Wei, "Don't feel bad. I'll tell His Majesty later and ask him to replenish the lamp oil in your house!"
Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere in the hall was extremely harmonious.
Soon, Eunuch An returned with a mahogany gilded box in his hand. The master of ceremonies from the Queen's Palace stepped forward and respectfully took it. He unfolded a piece of brocade paper and read out the name: "The little prince's name has been decided. Please, Queen, respectfully send him off to the thirteen gods!"
The little prince was named Chu Jingkun.
Kun is so big that no one knows how many thousands of miles it may be.
This shows what Emperor Longqing was thinking.
Queen Fang gladly accepted the order, took three cups of wine and respectfully poured them on the table, sending the thirteen gods away.
The ladies of state also knelt down to congratulate the little prince and Queen Fang.
Empress Fang asked everyone to stand up, and told the wet nurse to take the little prince inside to eat his fill, and then brought him out again and handed him to Emperor Longqing, who was in front of her, so that he could take the little prince to the Taimiao to pay homage to his ancestors.
It was a great honor that she gave birth to a legitimate son.
Moreover, she is the only son of Emperor Longqing. Since he lost his son, Emperor Longqing has treated his daughters like treasures, not to mention his son. From now on, her position is secure.
Even Old Mrs. Fang was delighted.
What is there to be afraid of in the future of the Fang family
The business was almost done and Queen Fang was a little tired, so she said no more. She just spoke a few more words to Wei An before letting her subordinates distribute the money for the baby-washing and various fruits.
