The fourth day of the fourth month of April finally arrived, and the whole capital was immersed in jubilation, and the civil and military officials and officials above the three grades were properly packed up and drove the carriage towards the Qingxuanmen Gate of the Imperial Palace; People went out of their homes and into the workshop area to celebrate and buy cheap goods; The harem concubines were even more dressed up in flowers, leaving a burst of warblers and songs outside the Zhongyi Gate.

On the white jade square outside the Qianyuan Palace, the royal forest guards and the forbidden army are neatly arrayed, and the colored flags embroidered with the golden dragon extend from the three gatehouses of Qingxuanmen, Zhongyi Gate and Tongtianmen to the outside of the Qianyuan Palace, and the colorful flags are displayed and hunted sounded. On the nine steps of the palace, eighteen chamberlains stood side by side, and outside the palace gate, on both sides stood twenty-four chamberlains and maids on both sides. Entering the main hall, a total of sixty palace maids stood in two columns in the center of the main hall.

The first to enter the Qianyuan Palace is the civil and military officials, under the guidance of the palace maids according to the official rank of the orderly seat, when all the officials are seated, the palace maids will begin to guide the concubines, and when almost all the seats have been filled, the prince and princess officially appeared.

King Xiang and Princess Xiang walked in the front, followed by King Ling and Princess Ling, then King Zhuang and Princess Princess, and finally Princess Yunxuan, who had never married.

After everyone in the entire Qianyuan Palace was in place, it was Emperor Liang who appeared on the scene. Emperor Liang, who was the Emperor of the Ninety-Five, was wrapped in a golden dragon robe and wore a nine-pearl crown, and walked into the Qianyuan Palace with infinite scenery under the support of Emperor Jingjia's concubine. All the way was the shout of "Long live my emperor", from Baiyu Square to the Qianyuan Palace, the cheers of tens of thousands of people drowned Emperor Liang in it, and he enjoyed this feeling very much.

Emperor Liang threw off the dragon robe, sat firmly on the dragon chair, and watched the people lying on their stomachs from outside the palace to the palace, and a pride that looked at the world poured out in his chest again, this is the great imperial power, this is the ruling world!

"Get up!"

Emperor Liang's voice floated through the Qianyuan Palace to the White Jade Square, and after the mountain shouted long live, everyone dared to get up and return to their seats. Everyone's eyes were all towards Emperor Liang, and Emperor Liang's dragon chair was three steps higher than everyone else, so everyone looked up to the emperor.

This feeling is really good, thousands of courtiers can only prostrate at their feet, even if they get up, they can only look up at themselves, this is the majesty that only emperors can have, this is the glory that only emperors deserve, all of this belongs to him Xiao Fangxu alone!

"Today is the celebration of the full moon of my imperial grandson, I have reigned for thirty-one years, this is my first imperial grandson, this is not only a major event for the royal family, but also a happy event for my great beam! King Xiang and the princess were sympathetic to the war on the front line, so they postponed the celebration until the full moon of the emperor and grandson, and I am very pleased that King Xiang can have such a heart. ”

When King Xiang heard this, he pulled the princess out immediately, knelt in front of Emperor Liang, and kowtowed in fear.

"The retainer is flattered, and sympathizing with the family and the country is what a courtier should do. Erchen and Danyan thanked their father again! ”

King Xiang and the princess kowtowed again, and the low posture and pious attitude made Emperor Liang nod again and again with satisfaction.

"Flatten, all of you! Danyan was able to give birth to a grandson for the royal family, but the difficult thing is that you can still maintain such a humble attitude, which is really my great luck! ”

In the face of Emperor Liang's praise of his son, even though the ministers knew it, they still maintained a respectful look on their faces, but there was one person in this huge Qianyuan Palace who showed his true temperament without care. This person is none other than King Ling, he said goodbye and muttered in a low voice: "Isn't it just that he gave birth to a son, and it has not yet been decided who will give this throne, so what can he do if he has a son?" ”

King Zhuang, who was closest to King Ling, heard it clearly, and he reminded in a low voice: "Seventh brother, don't comment on such an occasion. ”

"Sixth brother, you'd better be less nosy. You really have to thank yourself for being born with a foot disease, otherwise, hehe! ”

King Ling showed a strange and playful smile, which seemed extremely strange and cold to King Zhuang. It's not that King Zhuang doesn't know his identity, he is the least existent person among his brothers, but he has always wanted to maintain sibling affection; He rarely spoke, and every time he spoke, it was out of brotherhood. Among these brothers, only King Yu really regards himself as a brother, but unfortunately he is not present today.

Emperor Liang had already noticed the words of the princes, but Emperor Liang didn't plan to think too much about this occasion. Emperor Liang asked King Xiang and the princess to get up, and then announced: "The imperial baptism ceremony of the emperor and grandson has officially begun!" ”

Emperor Jingjia immediately got up and supported Emperor Liang and walked towards the white jade corridor, where a four-legged imperial washing wooden basin had been placed, the color of the wooden basin was dark brown, the whole body was round, half a person high, and the body of the wooden basin was not carved with any Rui beasts, but the original appearance of the wood was exposed.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu has trotted all the way to the corridor before Emperor Liang, and kowtowed to Emperor Liang and Emperor Jingjia's concubine: "Return to Your Majesty, return to Niangniang, this imperial washing wood basin is made of longan wood that grows in the south, this wood is born with a strange fragrance, ten years to grow an inch thicker, a hundred years to become a tree, such a thickness of the longan wood needs three hundred years old." The most distinctive feature of this wood is that it can release a refreshing fragrance when exposed to heat. ”

"I have also heard of longan wood, and it is also Shangshu who can find these three hundred years of longan wood."

"This is a matter of the ministers! Please also ask Your Majesty to baptize! ”

"Where is the emperor?"

Emperor Liang asked, and a grandmother walked forward with a small baby boy in her arms, followed by four younger grandmothers. The leading grandmother first handed the imperial grandson to Princess Xiang, and then knelt down with the four grandmothers.

Princess Xiang took the imperial grandson and immediately took her into her arms, after all, it was the first time to be a mother, and some of her actions seemed a little stiff, but this did not hinder her maternal love. Seeing her son sleeping deeply, the princess was indescribably happy in her heart.

Emperor Liang kept staring at the imperial grandson from beginning to end, and seeing that the princess hugged the imperial grandson, Emperor Liang couldn't hold back any longer, he said: "Come, let me hug it." ”

The princess carefully handed the imperial grandson to Emperor Liang, compared to the princess, Emperor Liang's movements were even more clumsy, but his every movement was very light, for fear of waking up the imperial grandson by accident. Looking at the white and chubby face of the emperor grandson, the thick eyelashes covered the eyes, and from time to time he would swing his little hands and little head.

"Oh, that's amazing!" Imperial Concubine Jingjia, as the grandmother of the emperor's grandson, was also overjoyed by Emperor Liang at this time. To say that the two of them have seen the emperor and grandson for a long time, and within this month, they also went to visit from time to time, but at this time, their eyes were still shining when they looked at the emperor and grandson, so it was exactly the same as when they saw the emperor and grandson for the first time.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu looked at Emperor Liang and Emperor Jingjia and didn't dare to speak for a while, but after looking up at the hour several times, he finally had to remind him: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, the auspicious time has come!" ”

"Okay, don't delay the auspicious time!"

Emperor Liang handed over the imperial grandson to the leading grandmother, who got up and nodded to the four grandmothers behind her, who immediately carried four buckets of warm water and poured them into the wooden basin. As the warm water soaked in the wooden basin, the fragrance really began to diffuse from the wooden basin as the Ministry of Rites Shangshu said, and the first to enter was the noses of Emperor Liang and Emperor Jingjia. Then, as the amount of water continued to increase, the fragrance became more and more intense, and began to transmit towards the Qianyuan Palace.

A grandmother held a handkerchief in both hands, and the handkerchief was embroidered with a flying golden dragon. Mama respectfully presented the handkerchief to Emperor Liang, who took the handkerchief and soaked it in a wooden basin first, wrung out some water slightly, and then wiped it on the body of the emperor.

Mama gently unwrapped the swaddling clothes that wrapped the imperial grandson, revealing the upper body of the imperial grandson, and Emperor Liang carried the handkerchief very carefully and slowly wiped it on the imperial grandson's chest from the beginning. Maybe it was because he was touched, the emperor and grandson first squirmed a few times, and his eyes began to rotate under his eyelids, but after this series of actions of Emperor Liang, the emperor and grandson did not wake up.

Then there was the Imperial Concubine Jingjia, she also soaked the veil and began to wipe the other half of the emperor's body, and the emperor was completely woken up. The baby opened his hazy eyes, looked at the strange or familiar faces in front of him, and after his eyes flashed wide, he stretched his body and began to cry.

Emperor Jingjia was so frightened that she didn't know what to do, and looked at Emperor Liang in fear. Mama hurriedly wrapped the emperor and grandson and began to coax, since the birth of the emperor and grandson, it has been this grandma who has been fed, she is the nurse of the emperor and grandson, and the emperor and grandson will soon be quiet by her. Although the princess was also a little unbearable, she still believed that Mama could coax her.

However, today, the emperor may have felt the unusual atmosphere around him, not only did he not stop crying, but he cried louder and louder, no matter how he coaxed and teased, it was useless.

"Wow...... Wow......." The baby's cry began to resound through the Qianyuan Palace.
