His Majesty's efficiency is still very high, before the dinner, the rewards were sent to Jianjia Palace.
The excuse is that it's Chinese New Year, and giving something to Aifei is counted as a New Year's red envelope. Of course, the original words are not so straightforward, but the meaning is that.
Since concubine Shen Gui was given away, naturally the other concubines could not be left behind. In order to please his sister, His Majesty paid out of his own pocket and gave some rewards to all the concubines in the harem.
However, other concubines are not as high status as Concubine Shen, so naturally they can be rewarded less.
Especially, besides Concubine Shen, the highest ranking person in the harem now is Mrs. Shu, not even a concubine, so the reward can naturally be lowered.
The empress was very happy and immediately took the opportunity to send the cloth to Concubine Shen Gui.
When the imperial concubine went for a stroll in the yard and saw what the two big men had brought, the corners of her mouth twitched.
"Why did Qiu Shui suddenly deliver cloth to me?" She asked strangely.
Manchen took a pen and paper and pointed at the gift list one by one, and responded faintly: "The cloth in the storeroom is almost used up."
"Used up?" Shen Yuqing was surprised.
"Well, take it to make clothes for the little prince."
Shen Guifei fell into deep thought.
She suddenly felt that the clothes her son smashed...was too much
But since the daughter-in-law has brought fabrics, she must be very supportive of him playing dress-up for his son. Thinking of this, the imperial concubine became happy again and did not intend to repent.
"Okay, put away the things, and ask Jin Li for more cloth in the future. Anyway, there are so many cloths in the emperor's warehouse, and he doesn't need to make so many clothes himself. It's a waste to keep them."
Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor is not here, otherwise he must have protested. Why was it wasted? At least it can be used to coax those women in the harem!
Don't brag or criticize, just coax one.
However, His Majesty the Emperor is not here, and he doesn't know what the imperial concubine has imagined. If he knew, he probably wouldn't have sent something to Concubine Shen Gui at all, lest the goods would make an inch of it.
Since the two bigwigs in the palace both gave New Year's gifts, Concubine Shen Gui wanted to be mean no matter what. She picked some things she didn't like and distributed them to the concubines.
So the palace started the activity of giving each other New Year's gifts, and it didn't end until the family banquet started.
The family banquet was held in the Shoukang Palace, in order to take care of the Empress Dowager so that she would not go all the way to attend the palace banquet at night.
Shen Guifei brought her son to Shoukang Palace, this is the second time that Qiuqiu has been exposed to everyone. The two-month-old Qiuqiu is still a cub, he can only spit bubbles and laugh quietly, and especially likes to lie in the arms of his mother and concubine.
Usually the imperial concubine is entangled by her son, especially tonight. If she doesn't hold the baby for a moment, the baby will throw a temper tantrum.
Although Xiao Qiuqiu doesn't like to cry, but his petty temper is also very helpless. The little head turned to the side, refused to eat the milk, refused to change the diaper, and looked at the concubine mother pitifully until the concubine mother was softened by the look.
This doll is probably too smart.
Concubine Shen Gui hugged her son and fed him milk soup.
The family banquet nurse didn't come, and it's useless to follow. Since Qiuqiu was one month old, he was reluctant to be hugged and nursed by the nanny.
At the beginning, he could still accept the nanny holding him and feeding him. While drinking the milk, he stared at the concubine mother eagerly to confirm that the concubine mother was beside him. Later, my temper got worse, and I didn't like to drink milk when I was breastfeeding, and I was so hungry that I would die stubbornly. Concubine Shen had no choice but to let the nanny squeeze out the milk and then feed him with a very small spoon.
Then, Qiuqiu got used to this way of eating and refused to change it.
Today's milk soup is Qiuqiu's daily food, made with the milk squeezed by the nanny. The thickened milk soup was researched by specialized imperial physicians and chefs to ensure that the nutritional content is not inferior to drinking breast milk directly, and it is more in line with the taste of small balls.
"Ah—" Qiuqiu happily waving his chubby paws after eating and drinking, and narrowed his eyes with a smile.
Originally, the small fleshy face almost covered the eyes, but now it is even more invisible.
The empress dowager looked at it from a distance, and was amused: "Why is Yang'er so happy? But did you receive the red envelope from the imperial concubine?"
Yang is the name chosen by His Majesty the Emperor for the eldest son after racking his brains.
The royal surname is Qiao, which means grand and grand, showing His Majesty the emperor's ardent expectations for his eldest son. The name Qiao Yang is not bad. Concubine Shen thought about it for a while and felt that it was better than her name, so she accepted it.
But it's not enough to finish the name. In the future, when the child grows up, he will have to name it. Even if, as a prince, his words basically have no chance to be used.
Biao characters are generally used among peers and colleagues, and the prince will not have such peers and colleagues. Even if there was, the other party didn't dare to shout like that.
"This kid doesn't know what red envelopes are, he just has enough to eat and has everything he needs, and he enjoys himself foolishly all day long." Concubine Shen said with a smile, "But he's a bit too fat, he has to eat many meals a day, and he can eat more than ordinary children. "
"It's good to eat." The empress dowager defended the little grandson.
Children need to be chubby to be cute.
Concubine Shen Gui glanced at the son in her arms sadly, if she continued to be so fat, what would happen if she grew into a fat man of two hundred catties in the future? No, when this boy is three years old, he will be taught martial arts, and he must lose his fat.
The empress knew at a glance that Concubine Shen Guifei was thinking too far. But she didn't intend to bring this person's thoughts back, so let her continue to make up her mind, it's not a big deal anyway.
It would be best for Qiuqiu to learn some martial arts from her mother and concubine for self-defense. Although the prince can raise dark guards to protect himself, nothing can compare to his own powerful force value.
Look at His Majesty the Emperor and then at Concubine Shen, the Emperor is protected by such a person, wouldn't it be bad to meet Concubine Shen? But Concubine Shen Gui is a bold and talented person, so she doesn't have to worry about being murdered by someone.
The concubines looked at the plump and pink prince in Concubine Shen's arms, he looked very healthy, and they were extremely jealous.
Concubine Shen took more than a dozen hours to give birth before, and it was obviously difficult to give birth. They also think that the children born will not be very healthy, and even if they are healthy, the mother's body will be damaged.
The results of it? Concubine Shen Gui is still alive and kicking, and the little prince is even more supple and healthy. The tender flesh all over looks like puffiness, but it is actually much stronger than babies of the same age.
"Why is the concubine sister holding the eldest prince all the time? Be careful, your arms are sore." Concubine Fu said with a smile, but there was no smile in her eyes, she was just pretending.
Concubine Shen Gui said lightly: "Why are you sore? I hold Yang'er in my arms, and my hands won't be sore all day long."
She was telling the truth, the weight of the little brat was much lighter than her pair of scimitars, and it didn't take much effort to hold it.
However, the concubines didn't think so, they only thought that Shen Guifei did it on purpose. He hugged the eldest son of the emperor from the moment he came in, just to show off his son.
Too arrogant.
Concubine Shen Gui ignored them and quietly played with her son.
It is natural to eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year. Yushanfang made colorful dumplings and sent them, and they were placed on the plate like flowers, very beautiful.
This is the only meal that is not delivered by the concubines' small kitchen, so the concubines do not feel at ease eating it.
But before it was served, it passed the silver needle test by the little eunuch, and it should be non-toxic. The concubines also eat with silver chopsticks, so there is no need to worry too much.
They used their chopsticks to dip the dumplings and around the plate, and only after confirming that the entire plate was not poisonous did they dare to pick up one to eat.
This kind of dish specially sent by the imperial dining room must be eaten, otherwise it would be deliberately confronting the emperor and not giving the emperor face. Concubine Shen Gui also took one and ate it, and dipped her chopsticks in the soup that flowed out of the dumpling stuffing, so that Xiao Qiuqiu could also taste it.
Qiuqiu obviously likes the taste of dumpling stuffing, danced with excitement, and wants to eat again.
Concubine Shen Gui refused to feed him, and cruelly decided to only feed Qiu Qiu until his first birthday. So for the next ten months, Xiao Qiuqiu may still only be able to drink sweet milk soup, but not be able to taste all kinds of delicacies.
After eating the dumplings, the palace banquet was almost over.
His Majesty the Emperor didn't even look at the concubines, he took his daughter by the hand and left Shoukang Palace.
It's not easy for the concubines to go up and disturb them when they see this, they can't run to the emperor and say: Don't accompany your daughter, come and accompany me.
It's nothing to compete with other concubines and win the emperor over from other concubines. Everyone depends on their ability, and the emperor doesn't care.
But if you are so confused that you disturb the relationship between father and daughter... Hehe, the cold palace is waiting for you.
His Majesty the Emperor is very tolerant most of the time, but sometimes he is extremely cautious.
The Empress and the Imperial Concubine are afraid that they will not come to "serve the bed" tonight, not only will they not come, but the two of them will get together to celebrate the New Year, and then leave him as a pseudo-single dog aside. As long as he leans over, he will be dismissed and driven away.
Instead of this, he might as well be winking, consciously take his daughter to celebrate the new year, and give up the space to Huangjie and "sister-in-law". Sacrificing the small self, fulfilling the big self, moving the world!
Bah, still not reconciled.
His Majesty the Emperor took his daughter back to the Zichen Hall, and saw the little girl in a pink and thick nightgown sitting on the edge of the big dragon bed after taking a bath, her short legs dangling in the air, she was really cute. Immediately, His Majesty the Emperor seemed to be pierced by a sharp arrow, and his heart (?) was about to melt.
"Qingxi..." He came to his daughter, knelt on one knee, and was at eye level with her daughter, "Is the father going to sleep with you tonight, okay?"
The little princess Qingxi propped her face and looked at her father who looked hopeful, but there was some hesitation on her face.
"What's the matter? Doesn't Qingxi like father being with Qingxi?" His Majesty the Emperor asked softly.
"I like it." Qingxi replied crisply, and then puffed up her face again, "But... Qingxi likes Concubine Mother even more!"
Recently, the concubine mother has been spending time with her little brother, and she didn't play well with Qingxi. Qingxi misses her mother and concubine very much, why did the bad father take her away from her mother and concubine
Fu Bad Father Emperor Yanjun: "..."
This daughter is raised for nothing.
The father and daughter looked at each other speechlessly, staring with wide eyes.
In the end, His Majesty the Emperor held his breath, picked up his daughter and put her on the soft bed, covered her with her beautiful little quilt forcefully, and ordered her to sleep immediately.
Qingxi pursed her lips, her father was too domineering. The concubine mother never forced her to sleep, she only coaxed her gently.
Neither will the queen mother, but she will tell her lightly that if she doesn't sleep now and can't get up on time tomorrow, she can figure it out. Then she was scared, and obediently ran to sleep, so as not to get up late and be punished by the queen mother to eat boiled white eggs.
She hates boiled eggs the most, and they don't taste good if they are dipped in sugar and milk. It's all the fault of Mammy, who said that eating an egg a day is good for health, and the concubine mother punished her with this.
Obviously the egg hibiscus egg and egg tofu are the same and more delicious, but the concubine Mu is not! When she made a mistake, she was punished to eat boiled eggs!
Thinking about it this way, there is still some merit in the father who won't force her to eat boiled eggs.
Princess Qingxi calmed down a little, and obediently huddled under the quilt and closed her eyes. His palm-sized face was sunk in the soft blanket, which made His Majesty feel so soft in his heart.
Although the little devil princess is very mischievous and mischievous on weekdays, she is unexpectedly cute and cute when she falls asleep. She looks so delicate and beautiful, she deserves to be his daughter.
His Majesty the Emperor blew out the candles and fell asleep outside. He casually pulled his big quilt away and lay down, protecting the baby girl who was sleeping soundly on the inside.
With her father's company, although Miss Qingxi woke up early the next morning and didn't wake up, she slept very peacefully, without feeling the loneliness of sleeping alone. Ever since she could remember, she basically slept alone, which is very pitiful when she thinks about it.
The sleepy Princess Qingxi was taken out of the bed by her father, who personally dressed her in a delicate and beautiful skirt. Pack it tightly, and after confirming that it will not be frozen, His Majesty the Emperor stopped.
He personally scrubbed and washed his daughter's face, fed her breakfast, and then carried her precious daughter to the palace, heading out of the city.
Dayan Taimiao is located around the imperial city, near the north city gate, and it is the road leading to the imperial mausoleum.
Qingxi dozed off beside her father in a daze, and His Majesty simply let her lie on his lap to have a good sleep again. When he got to the place, he came down with his daughter in his arms, and never let go.
When the chief eunuch wanted to come to accept Her Highness the Princess, Her Majesty the Emperor didn't give it.
Anyway, he has also practiced housekeeping. Although the value of force is a little sorry, but holding his daughter for a while will not cause sore shoulders. Qingxi slept in her father's arms, blushing, oblivious to outside affairs.
Princess Qingxi tied a beautiful bun today, and it was done by Miss Jinli. His Majesty the Emperor couldn't do it, so he could only trouble her. At this moment, the hair bun was about to be tossed away by Qingxi, who was in a bad sleeping position, but everyone dared not say anything, and followed His Majesty quietly into the Taimiao.
Seeing this, the concubines thought about it secretly.
They had never seen His Majesty doting on anyone so much, even the First Prince, it seemed that His Majesty had never hugged him personally. Even if she hugged her, she never hugged her in front of others.
Compared with this, it seems that the princess Qingxi is more favored.
Could it be that His Majesty really values the princess more
The emperor didn't have a son for six years, and he didn't see him worrying about it. Maybe he really doesn't care if he has a son or not. It is understandable that he values Qingxi more than the little princess he has been with for six years.
In the past six years, His Majesty the Emperor had no other children, so he gave Qingxi all his father's love.
Thinking of this, the concubines gloated and glanced at Concubine Shen Gui.
The imperial concubine finally gave birth to a son, if it is not as good as a princess whose biological mother was deposed, then it will be a lot of fun.
I remember that Shen Guifei raised this princess for a while, maybe she never thought that the princess would one day become an obstacle to her son's favor, right? Moreover, the princess stayed with the imperial concubine for a few months, more often by the empress's side. I'm afraid that this eldest princess has been raised and matured by the empress long ago, and she doesn't remember Shen Mufei at all.
A princess who won't bring Shen Yuqing favor, and I don't know if Shen has ever regretted taking over this princess.
One must know that after Concubine Shen snatched the eldest princess from Mrs. Wan, Mrs. Wan was hostile to Concubine Shen for a long time and did a lot of tricks behind her back. As a result, Concubine Shen is now thankless, and she is so angry for nothing that she becomes the "fisherman" empress.
His Majesty the Emperor carried the princess into the Taimiao. After entering the gate, he put Qingxi down and gently patted his daughter awake.
"Hmm..." Qingxi rubbed her eyes, "Where is this?"
His Majesty the Emperor had a paternal look on his face: "Qingxi, I have come to see the emperor's grandfather."
"Ah?" Qingxi blinked, remembering what the empress mother had said to her before, saying that today she would come to kowtow to the imperial grandfather and the old ancestors.
She nodded obediently. The queen mother specially told her not to make trouble today, but to be obedient.
"Where are the old ancestors? Qingxi wants to kowtow to them." Qingxi's small voice is delicate and tender, which makes people's hearts soften.
His Majesty the Emperor personally led his daughter to the front, and the ritual officer sang a salute, and the ceremony began.
All the officials and concubines followed in the ceremony, and the atmosphere was solemn for a while.
Xiao Qiuqiu didn't come today, he is too young to understand these things, he has no other skills except to disrupt the atmosphere. Concubine Shen was also reluctant to let him leave the palace, so she left him in the palace. After going back at noon, this kid might lose his temper again.
Looking at the princess kneeling with His Majesty the Emperor at the front, many ministers disagreed at first. Just a princess, how can she be on the same level as an emperor
But in the end, she is just a princess, even if she is of the same level, it doesn't matter. Unlike the prince, just a little trouble makes people think deeply, wondering whether the emperor intends to let him inherit the throne.
Therefore, the ministers were just unhappy, and did not really show it. When the grand ceremony began, they restrained their minds and concentrated on worshiping.
The process of offering sacrifices was complicated, and it was hard for Qingxi to be patient and accompany His Majesty the Emperor to do it all the way through, without being lazy or discounting it. Shen Yuqing felt distressed when she saw it, and during the break, someone carried Qingxi down to rest so that she would not continue to kneel down.
Anyway, the emperor has finished worshiping, and only the queen and heroes are left behind. There are not many heroes at the end, and Qingxi will have rested by then, so she can come to pay her respects; but forget about those queens, they have no blood relationship with Qingxi, so it's okay if they don't pay their respects.
Anyway, in this era of patriarchy, the ministers would not care that Her Royal Highness only worships male ancestors and not female ancestors.
But to be honest, from Shen Yuqing's point of view, these people have nothing to do with Qingxi. Seeing that they are both Emperor Yan and have done a lot of good things for the common people, Shen Yuqing can accept that her daughter suffers some crimes and worships them. But their queens... To be honest, most of them didn't make any achievements, they just didn't get pulled down in the palace battle.
And almost all the queens have done black hands to other women, they are not clean, and they have no qualifications to enjoy other people's worship.
As a queen, as long as she doesn't make a big mistake, she can enter the imperial temple with a tablet after her death and enjoy the incense. The other concubines did not have this benefit, no matter how favored they were. Unless their son can ascend the throne, the mother and concubine can be given the title of "queen" after the death of the biological mother.
His Majesty the Emperor had no objection to Concubine Shen's decision, and he felt sorry for his daughter, so he let Qingxi go down to rest. Until the end, let her come back and pay homage to the hero.
The ceremony ended in the morning, and as soon as Qingxi was over, she clinged to the imperial concubine, her voice of "mother concubine" and her sweet smile made Concubine Shen smile happily.
She nodded her little nose: "Why are you so obedient today?"
"Qingxi has always been very obedient." Princess Qingxi was not convinced.
Can Concubine Shen know her virtues? It's okay to listen to this.
The mother and daughter are happy and harmonious, but the others look very dazzling and heart-wrenching.
I thought Qingxi had forgotten Concubine Shen, but I didn't expect that the concubine's concubine was so skillful that she still managed to win the heart of the eldest princess. I just don't know if the empress is in a mood at the moment, or not.
They peeked at the queen, but they couldn't see anything from that calm and indifferent face.
But it doesn't matter, they believe that the empress must be unhappy, but she didn't show it. The empress's qi-nourishing skill is well-known in the palace, how can she change her face so easily.
Qingxi clings to her mother and concubine until she drives back to the palace. In the end, she got into Concubine Shen's car and abandoned the old father behind her and the bad queen who liked to force her to eat boiled eggs.
It's still the mother concubine who loves her the most, let her do whatever she wants, and let her eat whatever she wants. By the side of the concubine mother, she can be a happy little devil without restraint. By the side of her mother, she can only be obedient on the surface, play tricks behind her back, actively admit her mistakes, and never repent.
"Mother and concubine, Qingxi wants to come back to live." Qingxi acted like a baby, everything was good in Jianjia Palace, and there was a playful little brother.
When Concubine Shen was "pregnant" at first, Qingxi didn't want younger siblings yet. But as soon as she was born, she immediately changed her position like a fool, and became the younger brother.
—Her brother is so cute! Very white! Very tender! Very good! Still love to laugh! It's a super cute little cutie! Anyone who doesn't like his brother is blind!
Concubine Shen Gui looked at her anxious daughter and softened her heart a bit: "I allow you to come back and stay for a month."
Qingxi cheered immediately: "Concubine mother is the best!"
Come on, Concubine Shen Gui couldn't stand a beautiful girl acting coquettishly and pretending to be pitiful. Whether it's the big girl Qiushui, or the little girl Qingxi.
