Chapter 852: Is this also how Yun'er celebrated her first birthday?
After everyone arrived, after a while, the ceremonial officer announced loudly: "The full moon ceremony begins--!!!"
Then, a wet nurse who was dressed very festively appeared in the main hall, holding the second princess who was also dressed festively.
According to normal procedures, today should be the emperor and the empress or the queen mother who accepts the audience with the eldest princess.
But there was no queen in the palace yet, and Empress Dowager Liu was unable to move around easily, so only Nangong Xuanyu sat in the main seat.
The nurse carried the second princess to the center of the hall, knelt down slowly, and saluted respectfully: "The second princess greets His Majesty. Long live His Majesty!"
The second princess’s little face is rosy and her round eyes are open. She looks very cute!
Seeing this scene, Nangong Xuanyu felt that his heart was about to melt, and hurriedly said, "Get up quickly."
The nurse held the second princess and stood up: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Most of the people present had seen the second princess only a few times.
When the second princess was born, she was as thin as a kitten. Not to mention them, even the imperial physician thought that she couldn't be kept alive.
Unexpectedly, after a year, the second princess was taken care of so well by Concubine Xue.
For a moment, many royal relatives looked at Concubine Xue with very gentle eyes: "The Second Princess is lucky to have met such a good mother!"
"Yes! Taking care of a child, especially a weak one, is a very hard job. I see that Madam Xue Fei seems to have lost a lot of weight since the last time we met."
“That’s the hard part about being a mother!”
“It’s hard, but also happy!”
"..."
Just as these people said, no matter how hard it is to take care of the second princess, Concubine Xue feels happy.
As long as she could watch the second princess grow up day by day, Concubine Xue felt that there was hope in her life.
Princess Yun'an also used to look down on Concubine Xue.
I feel like she has already entered the palace as a concubine, but she still doesn't know how to plan for her future. Who is she pretending to be so noble for all day long?
Could it be that if she were to act so self-righteous, her dead brother and younger brother would come back to life?
Why bother making trouble for yourself?
But after entering, Princess Yun'an's impression of Concubine Xue improved a lot.
No matter what, Concubine Xue is a great contributor to the royal family for taking such good care of the second princess!
As a younger sister, she also hopes that her brother will have more offspring.
Not only these royal relatives, but even many concubines in the harem also developed some admiration for Concubine Xue!
At first they all thought that it would be impossible to support the second princess. It was amazing that Concubine Xue was able to do such a difficult thing. She is truly a great mother!
Of course, there are still some sour people who secretly curl their lips.
There are so many wet nurses and nannies in the Yanxi Palace. They are the main force in taking care of the second princess, right? Xue Fei has been pampered since she was a child. How could she really take care of a child who is not related to her by blood?
It's just an act!
Look, aren’t all the good reputations we have gained today the benefits that Concubine Xue has gained?
A person who seeks fame and reputation!
Others felt that all the kindness that Concubine Xue showed to the Second Princess might be true, but that was also because she herself was infertile.
If Concubine Xue could have her own child, would she still treat the Second Princess as her life?
So they really don’t understand what there is to brag about.
Concubine Zhuang sat below Concubine Xue, looking at the Second Princess being held by her wet nurse, her gentle eyes full of love: "I also like children very much. I was almost there at the beginning, so I raised the Second Princess."
"Now it seems that the Second Princess and Concubine Xue have a better mother-daughter relationship. She has grown so well in the Yanxi Palace!"
Concubine Xue didn't want to pay any attention to Concubine Zhuang.
After all, many times she didn't even give face to His Majesty, so would she still care about saving face with Concubine Zhuang?
But today is Nannan’s first birthday, and Xuefei doesn’t want anything unpleasant to happen.
She nodded slightly to Concubine Zhuang and said calmly, "It is my blessing to have Nannan as my daughter."
Concubine Zhuang smiled and said, "The Second Princess is so cute, who wouldn't like her?"
Even His Majesty looked at the Second Princess with gentleness.
In the past, because Concubine Xue always had a cold face, His Majesty was too lazy to make trouble for her over time and seldom came to the Yanx Palace often.
But in the past year, because Concubine Xue raised the second princess, His Majesty's visits to the Yanx Palace have increased many times compared to before.
If Concubine Xue had not been unable to give birth, based on the number of times she had been called upon, she would probably have had good news long ago.
Therefore, you still need to have a child to keep you company in the palace!
Concubine Zhuang subconsciously looked at Ruoli, her eyes darkening.
Ruoli had no idea what Concubine Zhuang was thinking.
Although she didn't dare to look bad in such an occasion, Ruli was extremely dissatisfied in her heart.
As the saying goes, life and death are determined by fate.
The second princess was able to live to be one year old because she was lucky. What does it have to do with Concubine Xue?
These people actually attributed all the credit to Concubine Xue.
If their queen had won the fight for the custody of the second princess, all these splendors would now belong to their Changchun Palace.
It’s just because Your Majesty is biased!
The Queen wants a child so much, but no one knows when her wish will come true.
Ruoli prayed silently for Concubine Zhuang in her heart.
As the Zhuazhou ceremony officially began, everything went on in an orderly manner.
The first step was for the nanny to bring a basin of warm water to wash the second princess' hands and face, which meant washing away the dust of the past and welcoming a new stage of life with a new look!
Although no one should dare to tamper with this process.
Moreover, the second princess is just a princess. She will not pose a threat to many people, and the dangers she faces since childhood are not as many as those faced by the prince.
However, considering that there would be one or two unexpected things happening almost every time there was a palace banquet, Shen Zhinian was being extremely cautious this time!
She had asked Tang Luochuan to wait by the side. After checking and making sure that there was no problem with the water and the towel, she asked the nanny to wash the second princess.
Seeing that Concubine Chen was so concerned about the second princess, Concubine Xue felt a little warm in her heart.
Next, the wet nurse changed the second princess into gorgeous clothes carefully made by the embroiderers!
It is embroidered with exquisite patterns, symbolizing the princess' noble status and bright future!
There are also small hair accessories specially made by the Imperial Household Department.
All the items were checked by Tang Luochuan again to make sure they were correct before being put on by the second princess.
In an instant, the second princess became even more gorgeous!
But she didn't understand anything yet. She just grinned and smiled at Xue Fei in a baby voice.
This made Xue Fei's eyes warm.
She had never dared to think that she could live such a happy life...
The eldest princess stood in the crowd, opening her big eyes and watching the scene curiously.
As there were so many people involved today, Empress Dowager Liu was worried that something might happen to the eldest princess, so she asked Nanny Yuan to take care of her personally.
The eldest princess looked up at Nanny Yuan and asked with a smile, "Nanny Yuan, was this also the way you celebrated Yun'er's first birthday?"
