Chapter 900 The Princess Arrives
Chapter 900 The Princess Arrives
Those who were originally talking immediately stopped talking.
Everyone stood up at the same time and knelt down to salute: "Your Majesty, long live His Majesty!"
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine Chen, may Your Majesty be blessed with good health!"
Nangong Xuanyu and Shen Zhinian walked forward.
After taking his seat, the emperor raised his hand calmly: "Stand up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Even though we have seen the scene of Concubine Chen and His Majesty walking together many times, every time we see it, many people still can't help but sigh in their hearts, they are such a perfect match!
Everyone says that Concubine Chun and Concubine Chen are both charming types, and she has an exotic feeling that Concubine Chen does not have.
But only those who have seen it understand that the charm that emanates from Concubine Chen's every frown and smile is something that no one can imitate.
The fourth prince will be one year old in about a month. At this moment, he is held by his wet nurse and follows Shen Zhinian.
Facing so many people, he was not shy at all. He had a big smile on his face and looked very cute.
Even Princess Yun'an, who was always difficult to get along with, felt her heart soften when her eyes fell on the Fourth Prince: "Ah Xu, I am your third aunt, do you still remember me?"
The Fourth Prince said nothing, but just smiled and danced at her.
This smile melted Princess Yun'an's heart.
The harshness in her eyes and eyebrows disappeared completely, replaced by a smile of love, and she opened her arms to the Fourth Prince: "Come, baby Axu, let Third Aunt hug you!"
The wet nurse looked at Shen Zhinian for instructions.
Although Princess Yun'an is of noble status, since it concerns the Fourth Prince, the wet nurse dare not hand him over to others easily.
Shen Zhinian knew that although Princess Yun'an was difficult to get along with, she had no bad intentions and truly loved her nephews and nieces.
Seeing Shen Zhinian nod slightly, the wet nurse gently handed the fourth prince to Princess Yun'an.
Princess Yun'an took it carefully, as if she were treating a rare treasure: "Ah Xu, last time I heard from my brother that you already knew how to call me 'Father', when will you call me 'Aunt'?"
The Fourth Prince did not say anything, but instead hugged Princess Yun'an's neck with his chubby arms.
Princess Yun'an was so happy!
The royal family members all smiled as they watched this scene: "The Fourth Prince is so well behaved, he doesn't seem to be shy at all."
Princess Yun'an snorted softly: "I am Ah Xu's third aunt, not a stranger. Why should he be so shy?"
Princess Qingyang and Princess Wenshu could not help but gather around and look at the Fourth Prince with fondness.
However, none of them had ever held such a young child, and they were not as brave as Princess Yun'an, so they did not dare to touch the Fourth Prince, but just smiled and teased him.
"Ah Xu, I am your fourth aunt."
"I am your fifth aunt."
"When Ah Xu grows up a little bit, he should be able to talk to us, right?"
"..."
Watching this heartwarming scene, a relative of the royal family said, "Princess Yun'an and Princess Qingyang are both old enough to discuss marriage. Since they like children so much, why don't they find a prince consort and have one themselves?"
"Yes! Let His Majesty decide some other day and choose a good man from the capital for you!"
"It must be a man of extraordinary talent to be worthy of the emperor's sister!"
"..."
Listening to the teasing of the elders, Princess Qingyang's cheeks instantly turned red, and a cold figure emerged in her mind.
Princess Yun'an curled her lips and said nothing.
The only person she liked was Lord Gu.
Even if I want to have a child, I only want to have it with Mr. Gu.
Anyway, there is no rule in the Great Zhou that a prince consort cannot be an official, so even if she marries Lord Gu, she is not afraid of hindering his future.
But... as a girl, she was shy and of course it was not easy for her to take the initiative to bring up this matter with Lord Gu.
I just don’t know... when will Lord Gu understand her feelings?
Princess Yun'an held the Fourth Prince in her arms for a while, then she felt her arms sore and carefully returned him to the wet nurse.
There were still many royal relatives who gathered around the Fourth Prince warmly and said some flattering words.
After all, everyone knows that although His Majesty now has four princes, the one he loves the most is the Fourth Prince.
Considering how favored Concubine Chen is, maybe in the future... the Fourth Prince will become extremely noble!
The fifth prince is weak, so Concubine Kang did not bring him with her today.
The Sixth Prince is less than half a month old and it is not appropriate for him to go out.
There were only two princes present: the third prince and the fourth prince.
The princess arrived earlier.
Originally, everyone just thought that the Third Prince looked weird, but when compared with the Fourth Prince, everyone realized what the difference was...
It's strange to say, your Majesty is extremely handsome, and the third prince's biological mother, Xiao Shu Ren, is also a rare beauty, how could he grow up like this...
Compared to the scene where the Fourth Prince was surrounded by people, the Third Prince's side seemed a little deserted. Only the people from the Dingguo Mansion were standing by, saying some sweet words.
The expression on Concubine Wang's face did not change much, but her eyes gradually became dim.
As both are sons of His Majesty, she doesn't believe that the Third Prince would be much worse than the Fourth Prince.
Just wait until after today when the doctor hired by the Empress Dowager comes to the palace. She will definitely find out whether there is something wrong with the Third Prince!
This grand banquet was held in honor of the eldest princess, and she was of course the last to appear.
Seeing that the time was almost up, the musicians played beautiful ceremonial music under their command.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the entrance to the Imperial Garden.
The eldest princess slowly appeared, surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs.
At the instruction of Empress Dowager Liu, the people in Cining Palace dressed her very formally today.
The eldest princess had her hair in a bun with a pearl hairpin made of gold thread inserted diagonally on top. The hairpin was inlaid with a large pearl, which was so shiny that it made the flowers in her hair look pale.
A few strands of soft hair hung beside her jade-like cheeks, gently fluttering in the breeze. A peach blossom was carefully painted between her eyebrows, just like the most lively flower on the branches in early spring.
The eldest princess's peach blossom eyes are very similar to Liu Shiqing's, just like two galaxies. Her eyelashes are long and thick, fluttering like a butterfly about to fly. There is also fine gold powder on the end of her eyes, which sparkles in the sunlight.
Below the small nose is a cherry-like mouth with a sweet arc at the corner of the lips. When she smiles, her dimples are deep and her milk teeth are faintly visible, revealing the innocence and childishness that are unique to children.
She was wearing a lilac-colored skirt, which was embroidered with lifelike flowers in gold thread, and the edges of the petals were decorated with tiny pearls, which shimmered as she walked. The hem of her skirt was folded, embroidered with flowing cloud patterns, and it trailed more than three feet on the ground.
She wore a scarlet silk ribbon around her waist, with pearl tassels hanging down from it. They swayed with her steps, making tiny sounds that made the princess look even more lovely.
