The first birthday is nothing to be careless about.
Mrs. Qu of the Shen family did not dare to ignore it.
On the contrary, they all choose expensive and well-meaning things as gifts.
In the palace, the Xiaonian family banquet is being held in Taiji Palace.
In addition to the concubines in the harem and people in the clan, there are naturally Princess Junyi's family who just came back this year, and Marquis Xiaoyun's family.
However, in previous years, there was also the Marquis Xiaoyun. He was not in charge of much and had no official position. He was just an idle Marquis.
The family banquet was lively. Princess Junyi smiled and said: "I brought a few singers from Huzhou. They were all from poor families and sold them to my house. They cried a lot when they returned to Beijing. I brought them here. How about I bring two of them here to sing a Huzhou tune for the Queen Mother and the Emperor? I can explain that I just asked them to sing. The Emperor cannot just stay here just to see how beautiful they are. .I can not let it go."
Qi Yixiu smiled: "Of course I will listen to my cousin."
Shen Chuliu drank the fruit wine and thought to himself that the princess still had a certain rank. It was not unusual to give a woman a gift on this occasion, but she was still below the rank.
Two girls in pink skirts came up to sing a song, which was really moving.
He doesn't look very good, but his voice is very good.
Qi Yixiu rewarded Mianzi with something.
After the banquet ended, Princess Junyi and Jiang Han sat in the carriage and talked: "I thought you were going to send those two to the emperor."
"How could that be possible? It's been ten years since we last saw each other. It's ridiculous to give a woman away as soon as we meet. Besides, it's not these two who want to give it away. After all, they are of low origin." Princess Junyi smiled and leaned on the county horse: "I It’s all for you.”
Jiang Han hugged her: "Thank you for your hard work, Princess."
On the next day, Cuiyunxuanli received many rewards, most of which were given to her, and some of them were given to the Sixth Prince.
All can be used in time.
Since Shen Chuliu went to Tai Chi Palace that day, he has stayed there three times.
Although it was only three times, but at the end of the year, I found that the emperor hardly saw anyone in the harem. That's a lot.
It was the sixth prince's birthday soon, and Shen Chuliu was waiting in peace.
Because of this event this year, she had more clothes made than in previous years. In addition, there were also clothes for the sixth prince, so she finally delivered them all today.
The people in the Service Bureau were afraid that she would be angry, so Aunt Huang came to deliver it in person.
He said a lot of polite things.
"We are already busy at the end of the year, but this year is no better than in previous years. There are more people in the palace, so it is naturally busy. I did send more this year." It was twice as many as last year.
"Oh, Empress Xiuyi is the most considerate of us! We don't dare to delay at all. If anything doesn't fit after you try it on, I still have time to change it."
"The dimensions have been measured, and I have seen the pattern. The basic problem is not big. If there is anything, just ask someone to send it. Mother, go and get busy." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
Zi Zhu personally sent it out and stuffed it into a big purse: "I saw that the little quilt that grandma asked someone to make is very nice and tight. We, the sixth prince, will use it to celebrate his birthday."
"Oh, if the girl says yes, then it's good. From now on, I can only serve the empress and the sixth prince with more dedication."
Nanny Huang smiled, took the money and left.
When I went back, I told the little palace maid: "It scares me so much. What if this master dislikes the delay in delivery?"
"I wouldn't have been so slow. This year, we have added another princess. This has delayed things a bit. It has also made us more nervous. Some of the embroiderers can't sleep for several hours a day now."
"There's nothing you can do, just hurry up and I'll reward them." Aunt Huang said.
The palace was very busy, and it was almost twenty-eight.
When he got up early in the morning, there was no need to say hello. The sixth prince was hugged and fed, and then he put on a bright red robe and dressed up like a New Year doll.
Both hands are wearing bracelets given by his mother.
I didn’t bring anything else with me, it was too heavy to wear. By mid-morning, all the guests had arrived, and Shen Chuliu carried the sixth prince to Fengzao Palace to pay his respects to the queen.
The queen had many guests here, and Qi Yixiu also came and rewarded the sixth prince first.
The emperor gave him a set of four gold locks, all of which were engraved with the meaning of good luck, good luck and longevity.
Naturally, he couldn't put it on, so he turned around and hung it in front of his bed.
The queen rewarded her with a top-quality white jade necklace. When a boy was a child, there was nothing he couldn't wear.
This one was put on directly.
The Queen Mothers of the two palaces and others all sent gifts and rewards.
By noon, everyone in the clan had seen the Sixth Prince, and then they sent the child back.
In Fengzao Palace, Shen Chuliu took care of things for most of the day.
I waited until the afternoon before returning to Cuiyunxuan. The people with her are members of her mother's family.
The Shen family is from the Qu family, the Song family, and the Liang family are all here. There is also Shen Qinghe’s direct wife Lan. Shen Bihe, the eldest daughter of the eldest family.
There is also Shen Biqiong, the concubine of King Yi.
The Pei family consists of three generations of female family members, and the newbie Ye is very shy.
Shen Chuliu set up another table here and talked to his family with a smile.
The old lady of the Pei family liked it so much that she hugged the sixth prince for a long time.
Qu also hugged her.
Everyone was happy, but only Mrs. Liang was absent-minded. She thought she would be able to see Shen Biyu and say a few words today.
They never expected that they could only look at each other for a moment in Fengzao Palace.
However, Qu didn't feel bad at all about this.
When she looked at Jing Xiuyi and the Sixth Prince's favor today, she knew that Shen Biyu would not be able to catch up.
So she ignored Liang's eyes and refused to take the initiative to call Shen Biyu.
In the end, Liang's love for her daughter took over, and after clearing the table, she saw that there was no time left. So she couldn't help it anymore: "My dear, I wonder if Shen Baolin is okay in the palace? It's been a long time since we last saw you, and I miss you so much."
"Since it's my aunt who misses her, so be it, Yuanxiao, you can send someone to take her to Shen Baolin's place to see her. Time is running out, and she has to leave the palace before the key is handed down." Shen Chuliu was very easy to talk to.
Mrs. Qu hurriedly said: "If I can't make it in time, I can do it next time."
"It's okay. Auntie, go sit down with Shen Baolin and let's continue the fun." Shen Chuliu was particularly easy to talk to.
"If Auntie misses her, go ahead. Today is the sixth prince's birthday, so we won't go." Shen Bihe smiled.
Mrs. Liang secretly scolded them for being useless, but she didn't dare to respond in any way.
Yuanxiao took her to Qingzhi Pavilion.
In Cuiyun Pavilion, refreshments were served again, and it was really lively.
The Pei family left the capital in despair, but they were not at odds with the Shen family, so they were not unable to talk to each other.
It's just that there is really no friendship in private.
Shen Bihe is a good talker and a junior, but the grandmother of the Pei family would be so cold-hearted when she sees you and Mrs. Zheng.
When it was time to leave the palace, he didn't specifically pick up Liang, so he just asked someone to invite her to leave the palace together.
