Chapter 953: The Sixth Prince's Full Moon Ceremony (6 Reward Value Plus)
Shen Nanqiao snorted lightly: "I don't care, then you have to stay here with me for the next few days."
Lin Xiu kissed the corner of Shen Nanqiao's lips and said softly, "Okay, I'll listen to you, Mother Qiao."
Then, the two of them walked hand in hand towards the pavilion in front.
After being with Lin Xiu, Shen Nanqiao finally realized how it felt like a long time had passed since they last saw each other.
They sat in the pavilion, admiring the flowers, drinking tea, and talking to each other in a joyful atmosphere.
Shen Nanqiao felt as sweet as if he had eaten honey.
I just cried for Green Radish. Every time I saw such a scene, I was scared, afraid that I would be discovered.
A woman in love can't help but think too much.
Shen Nanqiao leaned in Lin Xiu's arms and suddenly thought of what had just happened. If the food wasn't unclean, but she was really pregnant, what would Xiulang do?
Thinking of this, Shen Nanqiao touched her belly and couldn't help asking, "Xiu Lang, we have been together for so long. If...if I have your child, what will you do to us mother and son?"
Hearing this, Lin Xiu's body stiffened slightly, and a dark look flashed in his eyes.
But then, she said gently: "I will marry you with three matchmakers, six betrothals, and eight sedan chairs. As long as you are willing to divorce Lu Jianglin, you will be my only wife!"
Shen Nanqiao felt sweet in her heart: "Xiulang, it's great to have you!"
With Xiulang's promise, she would not be afraid even if she was really pregnant.
It’s a pity... She had seen so many doctors in the past but to no avail. She was afraid that she would not be able to give birth to children for Xiu Lang.
But it doesn't matter. At most, after marriage, she can take a concubine for Xiulang, and raise the child when it is born. Then, after selling the concubine, she can enjoy the happiness of family life with Xiulang and the child!
Shen Nanqiao was immersed in sweet fantasies and didn't notice that Lin Xiu's eyes were getting darker and darker: "...So, does Qiao Niang really have good news?"
Shen Nanqiao sighed: "No. I was just joking with you."
"But I'm really touched to see Xiu Lang being so responsible!"
Lin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and gently stroked her cheek: "Mrs. Qiao has a deep affection for me, and I will never let her down."
……
Time passed slowly, and soon it was the sixth day of August.
Today is the day of the Sixth Prince’s full moon ceremony. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has already decorated the Zhongcui Palace in a festive manner, and it is very lively here.
Zhu'er started dressing Xuanpin early in the morning: "Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince is one month old, and you are also out of confinement. You have worked hard this month!"
"Before, it was because you were still in confinement after childbirth and it was not suitable to move. In one day, we can move to Chengqian Palace! By then, you will be the head of the first palace, and the entire Chengqian Palace will be under your control!"
Xuanpin was not happy: "But... I am about to leave Sister Guifei Chen..."
"Fortunately, Chengqian Palace is close to Zhongcui Palace. It's only a short walk away. I can also bring the Sixth Prince to visit Zhongcui Palace from time to time."
Zhu Er smiled and nodded: "Yes!"
Xuanpin was curious and expectant: "Today is the sixth prince's full moon. I wonder what name Your Majesty will give him?"
Zhu Er smiled and said, "You will know soon. It must be a name with a very good meaning!"
Xuanpin nodded: "I only hope that the Sixth Prince will live a peaceful and happy life without illness or disaster. Living happily is the greatest happiness!"
As for that supreme position...
Concubine Xuan is still very self-aware.
She has no powerful mother's family, no unparalleled beauty, and no deep scheming. What can she use to compete with others?
Not only would he fail to win the fight, but he might also lose both himself and the Sixth Prince.
It would be better for her to be more obedient. When the Sixth Prince grows up to be a wealthy prince, she can also live a glorious life!
Shen Zhinian is also very busy today.
Although under her management, Zhongcui Palace has become an iron wall and no one has the ability to play tricks here.
But the Sixth Prince's full moon ceremony had to be held in Zhongcui Palace. There were so many people coming and going today, if someone with ill intentions secretly placed something here during the chaos, it would cause a lot of trouble for her and A Xu.
Fortunately, Nanny Xiao was very experienced in managing these matters. She directed the palace servants to perform their duties in an orderly manner early in the morning to ensure that no trouble would arise.
The guests arrived one after another.
No matter whether they are concubines in the harem or royal family members, the first thing they do when entering Zhongcui Palace is to go to the main hall to pay their respects to Concubine Chen.
Shen Zhinian smiled and asked everyone to stand up, and ordered Qiuyue and Xiafeng to take them to their respective seats.
Concubine Xue, Concubine Zhuang, Concubine Wang and Concubine Kang all came with their children, and Zhongcui Palace suddenly became lively.
After being raised by Concubine Zhuang, the eldest princess seldom went out. It was said that she followed Concubine Zhuang to worship Buddha to atone for the sins that Liu Shiqing had committed.
This was the first time that everyone saw Concubine Zhuang and the eldest princess appear at the same time after they became mother and daughter, and they couldn't help but cast curious glances at the two of them.
Seeing how affectionate the eldest princess is towards Concubine Zhuang, it seems that the mother and daughter get along well.
Some people couldn't help but think of the time when Liu Shiqing started to commit crimes and His Majesty wanted to find a new mother for the eldest princess, she insisted that she would only recognize Liu Shiqing as her mother in this life. Now seeing how affectionate she was to Concubine Zhuang, they couldn't help but feel a little ironic.
Chu Xiyan clenched her fists slightly under her sleeves, her eyes full of sarcasm.
Liu Shiqing killed innocent people indiscriminately, killing so many people! The eldest princess didn't think about how to make up for those whose relatives were killed by Liu Shiqing, but ran to the Buddhist temple to worship Buddha. How ridiculous!
Can knocking the wooden fish compensate for the harm done to the victims and bring their families back to life?
Chu Xiyan used to think that the eldest princess was still young, simple-minded, innocent and kind, completely different from her mother.
But now it seems... the eldest princess is clearly a hypocrite!
She and Concubine Zhuang are a good match, one is pretentious and the other cannot tell right from wrong. No wonder they can become such a close mother and daughter.
Soon, Princess Yun'an, Princess Qingyang, Princess Wenshu and Prince Jin all arrived.
The Princess and the Prince of Jin were both of the first rank, while the Imperial Concubine was only of the second rank, so they naturally did not need to pay their respects to Shen Zhinian.
Similarly, Shen Zhinian is the emperor's woman, and she is honored and favored. She cannot be simply judged by her rank, and she does not have to pay respect to them.
However, some people who are perceptive or want to please the emperor by pleasing the concubine will still lower their posture.
Princess Qingyang, Princess Wenshu, and Prince Jin all nodded slightly to Shen Zhinian and greeted her politely, "Noble Concubine Chen."
Only Princess Yun'an stood aside with a sullen face, still looking down on everyone.
Shen Zhinian smiled and nodded at the three of them as a response.
Concubine Wang has always wanted to know, was the affectionate look that Concubine Chun gave Prince Jin last time real, or was she just overthinking it?
