Chapter 372 The Emperor and Empress hold their grandchildren to attend the full moon banquet, and a
Chunxi had just put on the red wedding dress for Susu when she saw Taotao open her eyes and said to Shen Chuwei with a smile: "My lady, the crown prince is awake too."
"Really? Could it be that Taotao knows that today is the full moon banquet and it will be very lively?" Shen Chuwei came over with two small tiger hats made by the queen herself, and saw Taotao looking around with her eyes open.
"Taotao, this is the small tiger hat made by the queen's grandmother for you. Let's wear it to attend the full moon banquet."
Shen Chuwei put the red small tiger hat on Taotao's little head.
Taotao blinked her beautiful eyes twice, her eyes full of confusion.
"Susu, don't worry, we have one too." Shen Chuwei picked up another small tiger hat and put it on Susu's little head.
After wearing the small tiger hat, Shen Chuwei suddenly thought of the longevity lock. She took out the dragon and phoenix longevity locks and put them on Taotao and Susu's necks respectively.
At this time, Eunuch Li and Nanny Qingying lifted the curtain and came in, smiling.
"Shen Liang Di, the Emperor and Empress asked us to take the Crown Prince's grandson and daughter."
Shen Chuwei saw that it was still early, and asked Eunuch Li in confusion, "Do we have to take them over now?"
Eunuch Li smiled and nodded: "Shen Liang Di, that's right."
Shen Chuwei reminded: "Then you have to be careful, it's windy outside."
Qingying said gently: "Don't worry, Shen Liang Di, we are here in a sedan chair, and the Crown Prince's grandson and daughter will not be blown by the cold wind."
Shen Chuwei then let them take Taotao and Susu away with peace of mind.
After everyone left, Chunxi reminded: "My lady, you should dress up."
In order to attend the banquet, Shen Chuwei had to nod and agree.
This was not the first time Shen Chuwei dressed up, and she was still not used to the complicated dress and super heavy headdress.
After dressing up, Shen Chuwei followed Xiao Jinyan to the Qianqing Palace.
This full moon banquet, even civil and military officials came to participate.
When Shen Chuwei came in, he saw people everywhere.
Xiao Jinyan was the prince, and he sat next to the queen. Shen Chuwei naturally sat in front of him.
The emperor and the queen walked into the Qianqing Palace surrounded by the palace maids, each holding a baby in their arms.
The emperor was reluctant to let go of Susu, and the queen was so angry that she wanted to beat him up.
But when she saw Taotao looking at her with her eyes open, her heart softened immediately. Taotao finally stopped sleeping and could tease him.
When the emperor and the queen stepped into the Qianqing Palace, everyone in the palace and the civil and military officials looked at them.
It had been heard that the prince's concubine had given birth to a pair of twins, and the emperor was happy and held a full moon banquet. This was also the first time the twins appeared.
Seeing the emperor holding the child, he subconsciously thought it was the little grandson of the emperor. He looked very happy, and it could be seen that the emperor was very happy.
After the emperor and the queen sat down, the three palaces and six courtyards, the civil and military officials, all stood up and saluted to congratulate the emperor and the queen.
"Congratulations to the Emperor and Empress on the birth of the Royal Grandson and the Royal Granddaughter."
The Emperor looked down at Susu in his arms. When everyone was congratulating loudly, Susu was not afraid. One of her little hands held the Emperor's fingers tightly. Her beautiful eyes blinked twice and suddenly she grinned.
The Emperor laughed heartily: "Everyone get up."
"The Emperor loves the Royal Grandson so much that he personally held him to attend the full moon banquet."
"This is the eldest son of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The Emperor naturally likes him."
The civil and military officials said flattering words.
The Emperor listened to the discussion below and was rarely angry. "You all guessed wrong. This is my granddaughter, whose nickname is Susu."
As soon as the Emperor finished speaking, everyone was stunned. The Emperor was holding the Royal Granddaughter?
They thought the Emperor was so happy because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had the eldest son, and they were twins.
Seeing the Emperor's happy eyebrows, they knew that the Emperor liked the Royal Granddaughter very much.
The emperor turned his head to look at the queen and continued to smile: "The one in the queen's arms is the crown prince."
Although the queen was angry that the emperor was snatching Susu from her, she didn't bother with the emperor when she saw Taotao looking at her with his beautiful eyes.
It was the first day of Shen Chuwei's confinement. She hadn't eaten well for a month. Now that there was delicious food in front of her, how could she resist?
While eating, she glanced at her son and daughter from time to time, and saw that the emperor and the queen had never let go of them.
Xiao Jinyan picked up a piece of roasted deer tendon and put it in the bowl in front of Shen Chuwei, "Try this."
Shen Chuwei looked at the dish in the bowl that she couldn't name, picked it up with curiosity and put it into her mouth, and found it delicious.
During the meal, everyone began to send full moon gifts.
Everyone prepared gifts very carefully, and they all picked the best and most precious ones, for fear of being compared.
The emperor looked at the gifts everyone had given him, and saw one of the jade ornaments. He picked it up and handed it to Susu to coax her, "Susu, do you want to play with this?"
The queen saw it and hurriedly reminded her, "Your Majesty, how old is Susu? You gave her such a big thing to play with? What if she hits her?"
The emperor explained, "I know, how could I hurt Susu?"
The people below were still giving gifts.
Shen Chuwei might have felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach because she had just left the confinement period. She whispered to Xiao Jinyan and then left with her skirt lifted.
In the palace, no one noticed Shen Chuwei's departure.
After leaving the Qianqing Palace, Shen Chuwei couldn't wait to go to the Gongfang.
Chunxi followed all the way, fearing that her little master would fall.
The Gongfang was a little far from the Qianqing Palace, and it took a long time to get there.
After taking care of her physiological needs, Shen Chuwei let out a long sigh.
When Chunxi saw Shen Chuwei coming out, she reminded him, "My young master, please slow down. I will help you go to the side hall and use some incense."
In ancient times, after performing a ritual, people would take a bath and use incense to get rid of the odor.
On the way back, I met an acquaintance, someone I hadn't seen in half a year.
"Wutan, you are still in the palace. I thought you had left the palace and returned to White Horse Temple."
Wu Tan clasped his hands together and said, "Shen Liangdi, it was the emperor who asked the poor monk to stay in the palace to chant sutras and pray for blessings. When he was about to go back a few days ago, the emperor ordered the poor monk to copy sutras and pray for the daughter of the emperor's grandson."
"I see." Shen Chuwei still knew a little about this place. He believed in Buddhism and metaphysics, so it was not difficult to understand that the emperor asked Wu Tan to chant sutras and pray for blessings.
Wu Tan stared at Shen Chuwei for a long time. There were many rules in the palace. Although they were both in the palace, it was difficult to meet him.
The doubts in his heart have not been solved.
"I heard that Shen Liangdi was pregnant with twins, but I never had a chance to congratulate Shen Liangdi. I prepared gifts, but I couldn't find a chance to send them out."
Shen Chu smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll be fine as long as I feel like it."
Wu Tan said, "Shen Liangdi is willing to wait for a while. The poor monk will go back and get it now."
"No need, Wu Tan, I have to go back. It's not good to have been away from the table for too long." Well, actually she was in a hurry to go back and eat
But having said that, Wu Tan, a monk, had no money to begin with, and he still had to prepare gifts, so he might as well keep it and spend it himself.
Wu Tan's eyes paused, but he didn't force it, "Then, I'll give it to Shen Liangdi next time I have the chance."
"Yeah, I'm going back first." Shen Chu waved slightly and returned to Qianqing Palace with Chunxi's support.
She carefully returned to her seat and found that everyone's gifts had not yet been given out...
Lu Zhaoyan suddenly left the table and came forward to salute, "Your Majesty, I have something to report to you."
The emperor raised his head and looked at Lu Zhaoyan, with a pleasant voice: "Lu Aiqing, what do you have to report?"
Lu Zhaoyan said: "Your Majesty, today is the full moon banquet of the emperor's grandson and his daughter. I watched the stars at night and found that there was a good omen coming from the sky to the southwest."
As the emperor of a country, when he heard the auspicious omen coming from the sky, he immediately became interested, "Lu Aiqing, are you serious about this?"
Lu Zhaoyan said: "Go back to the emperor at three o'clock in the morning. You can see the emperor when he moves out."
Upon hearing this, the emperor turned his head and asked Eunuch Li, "What time is it now?"
Eunuch Li said: "It's just after the time of Xu when I return to the emperor."
The emperor ordered: "Move outside Qianqing Palace."
Eunuch Li shouted: "Move outside Qianqing Palace."
Shen Chuwei, who was still eating roasted deer tendons, raised her head to look at Xiao Jinyan after hearing this, and found that he had already stood up. She was forced to put her chopsticks down and follow Xiao Jinyan to leave the table.
Under the leadership of the emperor, all the civil and military officials walked out of the Qianqing Palace and waited for the auspicious sign from heaven.
The winter wind is biting.
The emperor held Susu in his arms and specially asked someone to bring a blanket to Susu because he was afraid of being cold.
The Queen also wrapped her grandson in a blanket to protect him from the cold.
Shen Chuwei was holding hands with Xiao Jinyan and stood behind the empress. She looked curiously toward the southwest. She always believed what Mr. Lu said.
It was her first time watching a good omen coming from the sky, and she was quite looking forward to it.
While everyone was waiting quietly, the dark night sky suddenly lit up in the southwest, and a white light suddenly appeared. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the white light.
Then, white light suddenly bloomed, and a golden phoenix appeared in the southwest.
"Your Majesty, that is the phoenix, Your Majesty."
"This is a good sign from heaven, great fortune for Great Xia."
When the civil and military officials saw this, they began to cheer.
The emperor was stunned when he saw the golden phoenix appearing in the southwest. He felt that Daxia was blessed by heaven and allowed him to be blessed with the daughter of the emperor's grandson. This would bring another auspicious omen from the sky, making him even happier.
Everyone marveled at the auspicious omen sent from the sky to the golden phoenix, which symbolized the prosperity of the Xia Dynasty, the peace of the country and the people.
Lu Zhaoyan took two steps forward, saluted and bowed: "Your Majesty, the auspicious sign from heaven is a good time to establish a crown princess."
"Who should I make the crown princess?"
"Princess Xue Yue?"
"Could she be General Chang's legitimate daughter?"
"How could she be General Chang's legitimate daughter? General Chang's legitimate daughter is deeply scheming and has been demoted to Fengyi."
"It's easy to guess. Of course it's Shen Liangdi. She gave birth to twins for the prince."
Someone mentioned that everyone looked at Shen Liangdi next to the prince. Although she was not a stunning beauty at first sight, when you look at her a few more times, you will find that she is as beautiful as a king.
She is beautiful but not flamboyant, nor is she vulgar or coquettish.
Careful observation revealed that Shen Liangdi was the one the prince brought with him every time he attended.
The emperor listened to everyone's discussion and looked at Shen Liangdi. Maybe because of her young age, she didn't look like a mother who had given birth to two children.
He lowered his head and looked at Susu in his arms. Concubines are very important whether in the royal family or outside the palace.
It's just that Shen Liangdi's status is indeed not qualified to be a crown princess.
