Chapter 942 Filial piety
The three rites of baptism were originally supposed to be a matter for women, but Xiao Xun insisted on taking this opportunity to feast all the officials. He hosted a banquet for officials above the second rank and above in Beijing, and Xie Zhiwei held a three-baptism ceremony for his two children in Kunning Palace, and hosted a banquet for relatives, friends and wives above the second rank.
But Xie Zhiwei was wrapped tightly before confinement, and was carried to the Kunning Palace on shoulders, where she only lay in the bedroom, so that it was convenient for people close to her to come and see her.
Kunning Palace only opened two gates, and placed a sapphire double-sided carving screen with Lanting poems on the entrance. In the main hall, the clothes were fragrant and the temples were shining. The ten-day-old children were already born with bright eyes, and after a full night's sleep, they each opened their eyes and turned around, not acknowledging their birth at all.
Everyone was amazed. Mrs. Yuan and Mrs. Haida each took the child from the nurse's arms. It was extremely rare. Princess Dagon teased one of them and said with a smile, "This is really a good birth. At this age, Gong has never seen such a delicately born child."
Mrs. Zeng said with a smile, "No, no one is the same. They are born exactly the same. They are printed in the same mold as the emperor. I don't know which one is the eldest princess and which one is the eldest son of the emperor."
Nanny pointed to Yuan's arms and said, "This is the eldest princess!"
Zhang Minghe's wife, Princess Taiping and Mrs. Qingyunhou did not come around, but stood on the side, looking at this side with a smile.
The Empress Dowager and Concubine Jing sat together.
On the day when Concubine Jing came to Yanjing, Xiao Xun made a decree to confer Concubine Jing as Concubine Jing. Concubine Jing lived with Xiao Changyao in the Prince's Mansion, and today she came here specially to give birth to the twins and pay respects to the Empress Dowager.
Princess Taiping winked at the two, and the three of them walked over together. Princess Taiping clapped her hands, "Let me, an old woman, hug the child."
As soon as she stretched out her hand, the eldest son of the emperor began to cry, and the eldest princess also started to cry when she heard the cry. The empress dowager was so distressed that she hurriedly said, "Bring the child to me!"
Yuan hugged the child and coaxed, "Jade Rabbit is good, grandma holds Jade Rabbit, and Jade Rabbit doesn't cry."
The child seemed to understand, and after Yuan walked a few steps, she stopped crying, and Yuan put the child in the arms of the Empress Dowager, "Look at this child, how old is he, he actually seems to know everything. "
Mrs. Haida also gave the child to the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager was overjoyed, "Who said it wasn't? We thought they didn't know anything. Dream worms are just like a mirror in their hearts."
As soon as she said it, everyone laughed and said yes, Princess Taiping blushed.
The little **** outside the palace came in, knelt down at the door, and said in a crisp voice, "The empress dowager, the empress dowager, the eldest princess, ladies, the empress dowager is here!"
The empress dowager handed the child to the nanny, "Hold it in!"
She led the crowd to greet her. At the gate of Kunning Palace, the empress dowager's Luan drove over, and the empress dowager led the crowd to salute, "See the empress dowager!"
"Stay flat!" The Empress Dowager stretched out her hand towards the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager quickly supported the Empress Dowager's hand, very respectful, "Why are you here? Although it's almost October, it's high noon. Still hot."
"The empress is not yet full moon, and she suffered a great crime in giving birth before. She said that she would come to welcome the empress dowager. I said a family. At this time, the empress dowager still cares about these things, so let her lie down!"
The Empress Dowager sneered almost inaudibly, walked towards the phoenix seat in Kunning Palace, and said, "You have always been virtuous and thoughtful, and after so many years, you are still the same!"
The empress dowager laughed and said, "I learned this from you, the queen mother. What the mother does, the daughter-in-law naturally learns. This is also filial piety!"
The Empress Dowager stopped in her tracks and looked sideways at her. The Empress Dowager met the Empress Dowager's gaze without backing down.
"Since she didn't come to see Ai's family, then only Ai's family went to see her. Anyway, she has made great contributions to the royal family." The Empress Dowager walked towards the apse.
The bedroom of the Kunning Palace occupies two rooms, the East Branch Room and the Second Branch Room. The Empress Dowager held the Empress Dowager’s hand, and before she reached the door, she asked, “Why don’t you go see the Empress Dowager? No, if you rest, let the Empress quickly dress up and welcome the Empress Dowager!"
Du Yuan was guarding the door, and he quickly said "yes", and hurried in with small steps.
The empress dowager couldn't help but paused, her voice was cold and harsh, "Stop!"
Du Yuan knelt down, trembling with fright, the Empress Dowager gave the Empress Dowager a cold look, and withdrew her hand, "Forget it! Since she is in confinement, the Ai family will not bother her, so as not to leave her behind in the future." He got a headache and said it was Aijia's fault!"
"The empress mother's words are serious, and the queen may not be able to bear it. In this world, is there anyone more noble than the royal family? If the royal daughters-in-law can't confine themselves to confinement and suffer from headaches, is there any woman in the world who doesn't care about it?" What about confinement disease?"
In this smoke-free war between the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, few people dared to participate, and everyone avoided it.
But these people did not include the royal family, Princess Taiping smiled and said, "The empress dowager is really serious, the empress's wife is just talking, the empress dowager really thinks that the empress dowager will be ill after confinement? "
Princess Dagon raised her sleeves, and said disapprovingly, "Don't talk nonsense when sailing. At this moment, the queen is in confinement. If you don't want her to be safe and sound, naturally you don't shy away from talking about it. If you want me to say, What the empress dowager said is not true, it was not easy when she was pregnant, and I would say that it is better to be careful!"
The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "Gun Guo's words are reasonable, so I said that nothing is as important as your body. Take care of your body and have two more children in the future. It is serious."
"Since you want to have more grandchildren, the emperor has only the empress at the moment, and there is not even one more person to serve. You don't feel sorry for the emperor, and the Ai family can't help but love the grandson. In this way, the Ai family is also full of inquiries. I bought a few girls, and the edict has already been given, and in the past two days, I will ask the Ministry of Rites to carry people into the palace to serve the emperor."
As soon as this remark came out, the whole hall was astonished. Yuan Shi and others looked up at the Empress Dowager in shock. Who would have thought that she would do such a thing without even calling in advance.
The empress dowager was also shocked, and asked, "Mother, I'm afraid this is not in line with etiquette? Emperor Daxing is the emperor's uncle, and it is reasonable to keep filial piety for nine months. How can you take a concubine if you don't keep filial piety? "
