Greetings, Ninth Uncle
Chapter 135: Wash three
The emperor personally ordered the grand banquet in the early dynasty, and the East Palace was obliged to hold the three rites, which was extremely grand.
There were many people who came to the ceremony, this is the eldest son and eldest daughter of the crown prince, the first child of the royal third generation. Since birth, it has been the focus of Beijing's attention. When they were born, the popularity was even more explosive.
Even if you don't look at the political significance behind the children, the visitor will be able to smooth the threshold simply because they are dragons and phoenixes. Whether it is the head lady of a son or the young grandma who just got married, they want to be happy.
Crowds gathered in the main hall of Ciqing Palace, and the temples were full of pearls. The ladies laughed and talked together. At this time, the **** came in from the outside, and everyone stopped talking and looked out.
The two grandmothers brought two swaddles into each of them, and when they saw each other, they immediately rejoiced. All these things were prepared before, but no one expected that they were dragons and phoenixes before they were born. In the past three days, the women ’s officers of Shangyi Bureau rushed overnight, and specially prepared two embroidered golden dragons for the two young masters. The baby swaddle of Jin Feng happened to be a feast of the dragon and phoenix, to be happy. Now the observing person can recognize which one is the small county king and which is the small county master from the infant.
The son of the prince is the king of the county and the daughter is the lord of the county. The two children were already of a higher rank than the majority of the ladies present. Husbands also saw the dragon and phoenix for the first time with their own eyes. They were full of praise, and the rareness in their eyes was almost reduced to substance. After the royal celebrant sang the words, Wenpo said auspicious words in her mouth and washed the bodies of the two children.
The siblings were crumpled and red when they were born, but after a day, they immediately became as clean and fat as a blow. Although they still have a light red on them, they are pretty good. A large number of dignitaries surrounded the two sides, watching Wen Ping pouring water on the small arms and legs of the two children. No matter who had children, those who had not had children, the heart of love at the moment should be changed.
In fact, the two children are very clean. Washing three in public is just a symbolic meaning. After her mother used lukewarm water, she quickly dried the child with clean white silk cloth and re-wrapped the baby. There was constant praise and blessings from the crowd. The two stable women each held a child, smiled and listened for a while, then covered the child's head and walked back.
At the moment in the rear hall, the warmth of the earth dragon burned like spring, and a faint milky fragrance wafted in the room, and the two grandmothers took the children in and saluted the people on the bed: "Prince Princess, the little master washed three rituals."
Cheng Yujin responded, and just now, Du Ruo quickly stepped forward to take the swaddle and took it carefully into Cheng Yujin's arms. Cheng Yujin is still weak. There is no way to hug two at a time. He can only hold one in his arms and one in bed.
"Have you seen it from your Highness and His Majesty?"
"The first to go to the Qing Palace, Your Majesty also personally hugged two young masters, and after being shown to the adults, they were sent to the women's family."
Cheng Yujin nodded and asked, "Is there no wind in the way?"
"No, the slave-maid is careful. Your highness has also specifically told her to come back from the Qianqing Palace. Both sides have eunuchs with barriers on their sides, and they have caught the wind. The slave-maid spreads a layer of red quilt outside the swaddle. The two young masters saw the wind. "
This is fine. Cheng Yujin was relieved, and gently took the little guy's hand on the bed. The twins are smaller than ordinary fetuses. Cheng Yujin was born like this at the beginning. However, it does n’t feel strange for him to happen to himself, but to his children. Cheng Yujin grew up healthy and healthy, but he was always worried when he saw that the two little ones were weak. It happened that they were born in winter, and it was inevitable to show up in front of the people of Chao Dynasty at three o'clock.
Cheng Yujin asked the two children to drink milk and sleep, and was talking. Forsythia stepped in and said, "The princess, the old lady and the old lady came to see you."
Forsythia is a maid from the Cheng family. She can be called like this, except for Mrs. Cheng and the master of Qingfu County who do not think of him. Cheng Yujin nodded and said, "Please."
Mrs. Cheng and the master of Qingfu County entered the hall. Today, the small king and the small master washed three feasts, and everyone was looking forward to it. In the end, they could only see each other from afar, but Mrs. Cheng, as a family member, was decent and could come directly to visit the princess in the inner palace of Ciqing Palace. Mrs. Cheng and the master of Qingfu County sat down one after another. Mrs. Cheng asked, "Concubine, how are you doing? How are you recovering after giving birth?"
"Everything is fine." This is indeed true. Cheng Yujin is now worry-free, and all the people in the palace treat her like a bodhisattva. Li Chengjing is considerate to her, Cheng Yujin just moved her finger a little, and the maidservant immediately stepped forward to serve, and the emperor gave him a reward like flowing water. When Queen Yang and Queen Yang met, they also had to give the reward together, so as not to be said.
Cheng Yujin doesn't need to worry about anything, just watching two children every day is enough. The mood is smooth, and it is good to recover naturally after delivery.
After asking Mrs. Cheng as usual, she gazed at the master of Qingfu County. Qingfu was very kind, and immediately came up to ask for warmth. Cheng Yujin smiled at the corner of his mouth and answered all the good things one by one.
After the Qingfu County prince and the prince had communicated their mother-daughter relationship, Mr. Cheng had no intention to explain: "Now the second son ’s family is coming, but I ’m afraid that everyone will go out and there is no principal in the house. Let her stay in the house of Hou for housekeeping. "
Cheng Yujin's mouth angle remains the same, saying: "The grandmother is the head of the family, and Hou's affairs are naturally arranged by the grandmother."
Mrs. Cheng was a little upset when making this decision. The concubine gave birth to a dragon and a phoenix and doubled her price in the palace. Everyone in Beijing understood that as long as the prince did not commit such a big mistake of rebellion, or the emperor ’s brain suddenly went crazy, the next emperor It must be the prince and wife. To please the crown prince and the concubine, and to please the prospective emperor, the weight is still different.
Mrs. Cheng followed her heart for a month in November. Not only her, but other Cheng family members eat fast and read Buddha, and even Cheng Yuanxian did not go out and mess up. Early in the morning on the first day of the first day, Mrs. Cheng learned that the crown prince had given birth to a pair of dragons and phoenixes, and immediately read the sound of the Buddha, and she was almost unconscious. Everyone in the Yichun Hou Mansion was very happy, and the mansion was full of joy, which was even happier than the Chinese New Year.
Washing three today, Mrs. Cheng took her daughter-in-law into the palace with satisfaction, but before going out, she was worried about Ruan's affairs. Cheng Yujin is also a twin, but she has been passed on to the master of Qingfu County. Now that she has born a dragon and a phoenix, if Ruan is brought into the palace, it seems that Yichun Houfu deliberately mentioned the life of the crown prince. Moreover, after all, Qingfu is the governor. In order to give the eldest daughter a face, Mrs. Cheng forcibly decided to leave the crying Ruan Shi in the Hou Mansion, and only brought the master of Qingfu into the palace.
Mrs. Cheng did not show any mercy when she made the decision, but now that she has met Cheng Yujin, she is guilty, and she carefully tests the attitude of the princess. Without him, the Cheng family relies on Cheng Yujin today, and their whole family must hold Cheng Yujin. How dare they provoke the crown prince. Although Cheng Yujin has been clear from childhood, who knows what attitude she has towards her birth mother and adoptive mother.
Mrs. Cheng watched carefully for a long time, only to feel relieved after seeing that Cheng Yujin was not unhappy. In fact, even if Cheng Yujin had an idea in mind, Mrs. Cheng could not see it.
Cheng Yujin entered the palace for a year and a half. I don't know if it was the court who sharpened the people or the prince taught well. Cheng Yujin's already good surface skills were greatly improved. Today, Mrs. Cheng has more than 40 years of experience, and she can't see that it is just her grandfather's princess.
Mrs. Cheng reluctantly reassured herself and slowly talked about the outside. Nowadays, Yichun Houfu's big reform once used to be an inexhaustible marginalized position, and has become the most popular dignitaries in the capital. Although Cheng Yuanxian was praised as being comfortable, he was essentially an impotent young boy who had no interest in official career and still concentrated on eating, drinking and playing. In a sense, it is very worry-free.
A quasi-national ruler who only spends money and has no political ambitions is actually the best. After discovering this, everyone in the capital unexpectedly felt relieved.
Mrs. Cheng chatted for a long time with family members of Cheng family, and somehow, the second prince and Dou Xiyin came to say: "Prince, Princess Shou was banned from the holy body some time ago. Be active. She didn't stop until you heard the news of the birth of the dragon and phoenix the day before yesterday. "
This matter Cheng Yujin knew that Dou Xiyin had peeked at the prescription of Zhao Taiyi, and learned that Cheng Yujin was pregnant with twins, and went to the palace to give the empress. Later, Cheng Yujin took the plan and shove them all in front of the emperor. The emperor was furious and did not dare to take the queen mother. It was not enough to clean up Dou Xiyin as a princess. Dou Xiyin was banned indefinitely and was ordered to study virtue in the government. Only a month later, Empress Yang suddenly became "severely ill", and Queen Yang called her entire family into the palace to help him.
In addition to using the ominous connotation Cheng Yujin to lift Dou Xiyin's foot ban, I am afraid that is also one of the purposes of Queen Mother Yang. However, Cheng Yujin didn't care much about these things. Her purpose had been achieved. The whole Beijing city knew that the emperor did not like Princess Shou. Everyone knew that Princess Shou entered the palace to kill the queen prince. It doesn't matter if you don't understand.
One was popular and the other was unpopular. Dou Xiyin's original political capital was basically ruined by her. A good hand played a rotten, now Dou Xiyin is simply not enough to be Cheng Yujin's opponent, Cheng Yujin is too lazy to pay attention to her again.
Even when Mrs. Cheng said of Dou Xiyin, she brought some sorrow and misfortune: "Princess Shou jumped up and down some time ago, and ran into the palace every day. In the words, the prince's baby was a twin, and it was ominous. It is indeed now. The twins are just lucky dragons and phoenixes. Princess Shou begged a big faceless face, and now many people are secretly laughing at her. I do n’t know if she will come out and walk around. "
"It's okay." Cheng Yujin said, "She loves to say how it's her business, and competes with her for strength and weakness."
Cheng Yujin's mentality is particularly good, why should he reason with Silly, just be stupid and have no energy to speak?
Having said that, Mrs. Cheng always felt a little bit uneasy when she thought of the birdiness she suffered some time ago. The master of Qingfu County also lowered his voice and said, "That person was not supported by anyone, so he dared to be so rampant. It was also His Majesty who was too filial, and Jiangnan's disaster relief was obviously the prince's credit, but in the end his great achievements were robbed by others But it was a few months of hard work. Many ladies and I talked about this and were upset about the prince. "
Cheng Yujin didn't talk, saying: "I don't understand the matter of the North Korea, but since it is the person recommended by Yang Shoufu, both Sheng Shang and the Cabinet agreed, it must make sense."
The master of Qingfu County lipped his head, because now the temple is full of trustworthy people, and Qingfu is not ashamed to say it more straightforwardly: "To me, it's still the Queen Mother Yang who stretches too long. The harem can't do politics, but the Queen Mother promotes Her younger brother helped her niece and granddaughter to become queens and queens. Finally, she even tried to take credit for the prince ’s credit. It ’s too much, but it ’s a pity that Donggong suffered a big loss. ”
Cheng Yujin smiled softly and said, "Unfortunately."
Both the master of Qingfu County and Mrs. Cheng froze for a moment, and Cheng Yujin smiled and added the words: "How can it be a pity to obey the words of His Majesty and the Queen Mother?"
What's more, it's not Donggong who suffers.
Li Chengjing did give people credit for their achievements, but everyone knows that the prince was robbed of his credit, gains fame and fortune, and does not need an aftermath. It is enough to earn a wave of sympathy.
The Yang family took the advantage nominally, but actually fell off. If the disaster relief is done well, it is the prince ’s merit. If the disaster relief is not done well, it is the Yang family ’s corpse meal, which ruins the prince ’s efforts.
In any case, it will not be Dong Gong who suffers. However, this is not the biggest harvest. Yang Shoufu has many enemies and has long complained. It is a matter of time before he is unpopular, but this time, he lost the hearts of the queen mother.
You know, the foundation of the Yang family is not Queen Yang, not the Second Prince, or even Yang Shoufu. It's Queen Mother Yang.
For this matter alone, everyone in the capital knows that the Queen Mother is doing politics and is pressured by illness. In the past, Empress Yang occupied the highland of the Empress Dowager. Ritualism and truth naturally stood on her side. Some old Confucian scholars blindly followed the Empress Dowager regardless of the facts. But now the empress dowager has a stain, and if the emperor and the prince do anything in the future, those literary officials and Confucian scholars can no longer give any condemnation.
The Empress Dowager lost her support, and Germany did not match up. This is clearly the East Palace made a lot of money. Cheng Yujin laughed and said nothing. For these real reasons, Cheng Yujin would not tell the old Mrs. Cheng and the master of Qingfu County.
The mighty baptism ceremony was over. The group of cabinet ministers representing the highest literary level in the whole world argued with each other for a long time and solemnly listed a list of names for the emperor's grandson and emperor's granddaughter. The emperor received the order for a long time, and asked Li Chengjing to discuss it for a long time. Eventually, he gathered the strength of everyone and gave the pair of precious and beautiful dragons and phoenixes a name.
Li Chengjing's generation inherited the word and inherited the meaning of reinvigorating and rejuvenating the country's national strength. The child's generation came from the Ming Dynasty and was a sign of succession and prosperity.
In the end, the brother named Li Mingqian and the sister named Li Mingyue.
Everyone heard the name of the eldest son's eldest son again, and it was an uproar again.
Cheng Yujin was a little surprised when she heard that she expected that the names of the two children would be precious, but she didn't expect it to be so expensive.
Dry, for the sky, for the won, for the king, for the sun. Ming Qian, the emperor and the prince gave the eldest son the name, which was expected to be clear at a glance.
The girl ’s seniority is not “Ming”. It is said that this is Li Chengjing ’s idea. Since the two children are dragons and phoenixes, they should be treated equally, and Mingyue will take photos of Kyushu, so he gave his daughter the boyhood and named him, Mingyue.
The maids heard and surrounded Wei Chengjin with amusement: "Prince Princess, the little county king is called Mingqian, is the sun, and the little county called Mingyue, the moon. A small sun and a small moon, it can be seen that the future is all the intimate padded jackets of the princess.
Cheng Yujin smiled and picked up her daughter, nodded at Li Mingqian's head, and said, "You know that eating your sister's hand will bully her and can't crawl."
Li Chengjing came in and heard Cheng Yujin talking about the child, laughing: "What's wrong, I heard you are teaching your son as soon as you enter the door."
"You ask him." Cheng Yujin hugged his little moon in distress, and said, "He doesn't eat his hands, he has to bite Mingyue. Mingyue is not as powerful as him, and he can't grab him every time."
Li Chengjing heard a laugh and walked over to see Li Mingqian. Sure enough, there was nothing in this kid's mouth. He threw his small arm and tried to fish with his fist.
Li Chengjing hugged his son and said, "Look, your mother is partial, she never shouts your name, but she speaks for a month."
Cheng Yujin didn't look at the two men. Li Chengjing hugged for a while without attracting any attention, so he sighed and commented truthfully: "He has gained weight again and has become much sinker."
Cheng Yujin agrees: "The children are the same every day, they were so small and wrinkled when they were born, and they are now chubby."
Li Chengjing nodded and placed Li Mingqian next to Cheng Yujin. Cheng Yujin looked up at him strangely, and Li Chengjing said honestly: "He is too heavy. Come and hug him."
"I want to hold the moon."
