Chapter 853 2 The Princess Caught the Item
Looking at the innocent appearance of the eldest princess, even the usually serious Nanny Yuan couldn't help but smile.
"When the eldest princess turned one, His Majesty was still a prince, and the one-year-old ceremony was held in the palace. The one-year-old ceremonies for the county lady and the princess are naturally different."
The eldest princess nodded, looked at the second princess and smiled, "So that's how it is."
"Then the Second Imperial Sister is happier than Yun'er, so we can hold a more lively one-year-old ceremony!"
When she said this, there was not a trace of jealousy in her eyes, only love for the second princess.
Nanny Yuan couldn't help but sigh in her heart as she watched this. She wondered who the eldest princess inherited her pure and kind nature from.
If such a woman was born in an ordinary family, she might live a happy life, but she was born in a royal family full of intrigues and deceptions...
The only thing to be thankful for is that as long as the Queen Mother is around, she will protect the eldest princess!
After the second princess finished dressing, she looked golden and gorgeous!
Next, everyone came to the courtyard of the Yanx Palace.
This place had already been decorated extremely festively by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, with lights and decorations and blooming flowers everywhere!
The floor was covered with gorgeous carpets and exquisite silks were hung all around.
The palace servants had already placed the items for the one-year-old ceremony neatly and orderly on the carpet.
The presence of the four treasures of the study, which symbolize talent, indicates that the princess may be good at poetry and songs in the future.
There are musical instruments and a chessboard, which represents that the second princess likes music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
There are also gold, silver and jewelry, which means she will be rich and prosperous all her life!
There are also exquisite silks, silk threads, etc., which imply that the second princess is clever and deft, and may have outstanding performance in needlework.
All kinds of things, almost filling up the carpet!
With the lesson learned during the Third Prince’s one-year-old birth ceremony, all items today were cross-checked by several imperial physicians to ensure that there would not be any problems.
The ceremonial officer shouted, "The second princess is having her first birthday!"
"Please ask Empress Xuefei to carry the Second Princess to the red carpet!"
Concubine Xue immediately stood up, took the second princess from the nurse's hands, put her on the carpet and said softly, "Nannan, go and see if there is anything you like."
Everyone's eyes fell on the second princess, curious about what she would catch.
The second princess had just turned one year old and was too weak to walk yet, but she could already crawl freely.
She seemed to understand what Xue Fei said and crawled towards the pile of items on the carpet.
With such an obvious contrast, everyone couldn't help but recall the time when the third prince was holding his first birthday celebration in March this year.
It seemed that he couldn't even crawl. It took Concubine Wang a long time to guide him before he crawled towards the pair of objects for the one-year-old ceremony.
In comparison, the Second Princess, a weak premature baby, seems to be better than the Third Prince...
Although no one said it explicitly, looking at their subtle looks, how could Wangpin not understand what they meant.
She held the Third Prince's hand tightly, her eyes somewhat dim.
So what if the second princess is able to climb flexibly?
She is just a useless princess, how can she compare to the Third Prince who is Your Majesty's eldest son!
finally--
The second princess grabbed a collection of poems under the watchful eyes of everyone.
The royal family members laughed and said, "A man of culture is naturally elegant! When the second princess grows up, she will definitely be a talented woman!"
"Just like Empress Xue Fei, she has a temperament that Ling Han can only develop."
"The Second Princess and Empress Xue Fei are indeed mother and daughter. They like the same things!"
"..."
There was also a faint smile in Xue Fei's cold eyes.
If her daughter likes poetry, she will teach her personally when she grows up.
Next, both the royal family and the concubines in the harem sent their blessings and gifts to the second princess.
As usual, everything was examined by the imperial physician.
Seeing this scene, many people's mouth corners twitched slightly.
Is it necessary to be so cautious?
However, the imperial physician was arranged by Concubine Chen, so even if everyone complained in their hearts, they did not dare to say anything.
There were a few people with ill intentions whose eyes flickered and they couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
I didn’t expect Concubine Chen to be so cunning that she arranged for the imperial physician to check all items at the second princess’s first birthday ceremony.
Fortunately, they didn't have time to do anything, otherwise they would have been caught red-handed...
The last part is the banquet after the Zhou-Zhua Zhou ceremony.
In addition to a variety of delicious dishes, the banquet also had musicians playing beautiful music and dancers dancing to celebrate the princess's first birthday.
It wasn't until dusk that everything ended.
Both Shen Zhinian and Xue Fei breathed a sigh of relief.
Yanxi Palace.
The second princess was tired and had been taken away by her wet nurse to rest.
Concubine Xue said calmly, "This is the second princess's first birthday gift. You all have worked hard today."
"Yu Mei, all the palace maids in Yanxi Palace will receive a half-year salary each, so that everyone can share in the Second Princess' happiness."
The eunuchs and palace maids were immediately excited, kneeling on the ground and kowtowed with a smile on their faces: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"May the Second Princess have this day every year!"
Back in the inner room, Yu Mei stood behind Concubine Xue, massaged her shoulders, and said with a smile: "My Lady, you have been tired and worked hard all day."
Concubine Xue said, "Why should I be so hard-working? The one who is really working hard is Concubine Chen."
"If she hadn't taken care of every detail, my daughter's one-year-old ceremony wouldn't have been so successful."
Yu Mei nodded in agreement: "I was also worried today whether something unexpected would happen at the palace banquet. Fortunately, now everything is over and everything is going smoothly!"
"I think that judging from this point alone, Concubine Chen's ability to manage the harem is much better than that of Lady Liu back then."
Concubine Xue was not interested in talking about other people. She frowned slightly and said, "Although Concubine Chen assists in managing the six palaces, these are her duties, but as the mother of the second princess, I cannot but remember Concubine Chen's contribution."
"But... Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine Chen lacks nothing. How can I thank her?"
Yu Mei smiled at Concubine Xue and said, "Who said Concubine Chen has everything she needs? Didn't she like the pajamas you made for her last time?"
"I feel that in the heart of Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine Chen, perhaps Her Majesty's kindness is more valuable than anything else."
Xue Fei's pretty face was slightly hot: "Really?"
Yu Mei sighed, "It's a pity that Your Majesty and Concubine Chen don't live in the same palace, otherwise I could check at night to see if Concubine Chen is wearing the pajamas you made."
"How about you ask him next time Your Majesty comes to Zhongcui Palace?"
Only then did Xue Fei realize that Yu Mei was teasing her.
She looked up at Yu Mei and asked, "Where did you learn these words?"
Yu Mei liked the current atmosphere of the Yanxi Palace very much, and asked with a smile: "So do you want to make another set of pajamas for Concubine Chen to thank her?"
Xue Fei looked away and said, "Tomorrow you go to the storehouse and get a piece of the best material."
