Chapter 173: Youth

At the end of May, news came from the capital that Concubine Xian Niangniang gave birth to the eldest prince. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info [Book by] The emperor has been on the throne for four years, and he is twenty years old this year, but he is still empty under his knees, let alone a prince, not even a princess. Of course, it is not that there are no concubines who have been pregnant, in fact, since the emperor was the prince, the concubines around him have been pregnant, but they are always miscarried in only three months, and even the fetus in the womb of the queen mother has not been accidental, and there are secret rumors in the palace that the women in the palace are cursed and difficult to give birth to dragon sons. Therefore, the eldest prince born to Concubine Xian became the eldest son and the only son. The emperor Longyan Dayue, personally went to the heavens to tell the ancestors, there are successors to the Great Liang River, and at the same time announced that Concubine Jin Xian was the imperial concubine, and granted amnesty to the world, and the people enjoyed for a month. The newly promoted imperial concubine was in the limelight in the palace for a while, and no one could match it, even the queen had to avoid her edge, and the situation in the palace changed instantly. Of course, the changes in the palace will not change the lives of the people, and when Kang Yan and the others in Macheng Mansion got the news, it had been ten days since the eldest prince was born. Along with the news, there was also a letter from the Chen family in the capital urging the eldest princess to go back again. The eldest princess of Fuyun and the concubine Chen Yunhan have four sons and one daughter.

The eldest son, Chen Anjie, has the title of Duke of Ningguo, which is the hereditary title that Emperor Taizu personally sealed.

Since the horse Chen Yunhan passed, the princess mansion of the eldest princess of Fuyun has been empty, and the eldest princess of Fuyun lives in her own Zhuangzi most of the time, even if she returns to Beijing, she lives in the Ningguo Mansion.

At present, all four rooms of the Chen family live in Ning Guogong's mansion, and Ning Guogong has always hoped that his mother can live in the mansion permanently, so that their children and grandchildren can do more filial piety.

At the beginning of this year, he felt that his mother's heart was getting heavier and heavier, and her body was getting weaker and weaker.

The doctor said that she was depressed, if she could go out for a walk. Scatter your heart, and the body of the eldest princess may be helpful.

Remembering that his mother likes flowers, Ning Guogong proposed to let his mother go to Macheng Mansion to relax, thinking that the eldest princess Fuyun would come back after the flower fight. After all, when he left Beijing, he begged his mother to come back to participate in the 100-day banquet of the little grandson who had just gotten a little grandson in the Ningguo Mansion.

Who knew that his mother had been there for more than three months, at first he thought that his mother thought that the scenery of Macheng Mansion was good, and he wanted to live there for a while, but it was almost more than three months, and his mother had no sign of going back.

Ning Guogong was a little anxious, and wrote two letters to urge, but his mother only said that something was delayed, but she didn't mention anything specific.

The little grandson's 100-day banquet has passed, and there is no news of his mother returning to Beijing. Ning Guogong realized that something was wrong.

Just in time for Concubine Xian to give birth to the eldest prince, hundreds of officials congratulated, and when Ning Guogong and his wife entered the palace to congratulate, the emperor expressed his hope that the full moon banquet of the eldest prince could get the eldest princess Fuyun to take care of the full moon in person'.

It is customary for a child to shave his or her hair by his or her respected elders when he is full moon. The ritual of shaving the fetal hair is very solemn, generally speaking, the prepared green onions, red eggs, jade, gold cleats and other things are placed in the basin, the child is first put into the basin to bathe, and then the red egg is gently rolled on the baby's head three times. Take its red top, hope that he will be successful and famous, green onion will take the meaning of smart, jade will take the intention of suppressing the gall, and hope that the child will be as hard as a stone. Robust.

After the haircut is completed, the elders will carry the eagle outside the house, walk around the house with the baby in their arms, and knock the ground with a bamboo stick while walking, which means to remove all diseases and pray for the child.

The more powerful the family, the more important this custom is. Especially for people who have difficulty in giving birth, the emperor has been empty under his knees for many years, and finally got such a golden and noble prince, so he naturally attaches great importance to the ceremony of 'full moon head'.

The eldest princess Fuyun is the person with the highest rank in the royal family of Daliang, and she is the only one when it comes to high morality, but she is the aunt and grandmother of the current emperor, and she is praying for her children.

Ning Guogong pondered and comprehended the holy will, originally he was thinking about sending someone to take the eldest princess Fuyun back to the capital, but now that he has the holy will, he can't be sloppy.

In addition to writing a letter in person and sending it to the post station, Ning Guogong sent his youngest son and fourth brother to Macheng Mansion on the second day.

First, his mother is very old, and someone has to be around to take care of him, otherwise he is afraid that he will not be able to stand the fatigue of the journey, and secondly, he will not even send a few letters to his mother, and he doesn't know if there is any trouble, let the fourth brother and his young son go, if there is something to take care of, he can also take care of one or two.

"Grandmother, what's the matter?" Kang Yan saw that the eldest princess of Fuyun frowned and read the letter without saying a word, and opened her mouth to ask.

The eldest princess of Fuyun handed her the letter casually.

Kang Yan took the letter and read it, her face was surprised, "The emperor wants to ask you to shave the head of the eldest prince with a full moon, this is a big deal, and you should return to Beijing." ”

She knew that her uncle had written several letters urging her grandmother to go back, but her grandmother insisted on waiting for her to go back.

"The eldest prince is the first prince of the royal family, the emperor asks you to shave the prince's head full moon, which shows the importance of the prince, if you don't go back, I'm afraid it's not good." Seeing that her parents' faces were unhappy, Kang Yan explained again.

The eldest princess of Fuyun frowned, "The full moon banquet of the eldest prince is on the fifteenth of June, so how can I hold a banquet for you?" ”

Kang Yan's birthday is on the eighth day of the sixth month, and it will take six days to travel from Macheng Mansion to the capital at the earliest, but after all, the eldest princess Fuyun has passed the sixtieth birthday, and she is already tired from the long journey.

Kang Yan was also a little disappointed, she got along with the eldest princess Fuyun day and night these days, she could feel that the eldest princess Fuyun really loved her, and she also hoped that the only elder in the world could participate in her banquet, but it was not a coincidence, and she was helpless.

"Grandmother, it's just a good time, it's not a big deal, you don't have to worry about it, let's go back to Beijing first." She opened her mouth to persuade.

The eldest princess Fuyun shook her head, she didn't personally hold a banquet for Kang Yan, she felt very regretful, "That's it, my grandmother will do it for you in advance, and I will do it for you on the sixth day of the sixth month of June, and it doesn't hurt to do it two days in advance. ”

Do it in advance? Kang Yeon blinked. "That's a good idea, my grandmother can watch me and you without delaying your business."

The eldest princess of Fuyun high-fived, "That's it." You have filial piety, and you can't do it big, so invite people you know to come here to get together, as well as relatives of the Kang family. ”

After a pause, her face was very regretful and she said: "It's a pity that my grandmother didn't tell your uncles about you because she wanted to take you back to the capital first. With your uncle, aunt, and your cousins here, you will be able to give you a great feast. ”

Kang Yan didn't feel sorry, she didn't want to ask for any grand banquet. In her previous life, she was also because of filial piety, and Kang Erlang and his wife only invited Uncle Kang, Kang Jia and others to have a meal together, and at that time, Uncle Kang and his wife's family had already moved into Kang Yan's house.

In this life, she doesn't have to suffer those grievances, she can make her own decisions and banquets, plus there are elders like the eldest princess Fuyun who really love her. She already felt very happy, "Grandmother, I don't mind this, I am already very satisfied and happy to have you hold a banquet for me." ”

The eldest princess of Fuyun couldn't help but redden. stroked Kang Yan's hair with pity, "Silly girl, I'm your grandmother, I don't worry about you, who do I worry about?" ”

The grandfather and grandson agreed on it. Kang Yan began to prepare to invite those people, so that she could make a list to prepare for the next post.

Speaking of acquaintance, in fact, the one who really has a good relationship with her is Jordan Hua, she originally only thought of inviting the Qiao family to come.

After thinking about it, she and Xu, the relatives of the Kang family must be invited, but thinking of those people in the Kang family, Uncle Kang of the Kang family pretends to be high, the third uncle and his wife are mercenary, and the sixth uncle and his wife are even more heartless, only the fourth uncle and the fifth uncle are better.

If there are only the Kang family and the two families of the Qiao family at the banquet, the two families have a huge difference in status, and there is not even a person to accompany them, don't let the people of the Kang family make a joke at that time, it is better to invite one or two people with a little status to accompany them.

Remembering that Kang Yan met a lot of big businessmen in Macheng Mansion at the last Douhua Meeting, and there were also two families with good relationships, such as the Song family, and then the judges of the Douhua Meeting, Master Xu and Master Sun, Kang Yan had an idea in her heart.

In the end, after hesitating, she listed the name of the Su family on it again, although she had only met a few girls from the Su family once, but Ji Lu was a major event in life, and she wanted Su Chenjing to be present.

After making a list, Kang Yan went to discuss with the eldest princess Fuyun with great interest, and as soon as she got out of the courtyard, she heard a rather arrogant voice behind her, "Hey, little girl, it's you, stop." ”

Kang Yan turned around and saw a young man about fifteen or sixteen years old standing behind him, with a tall posture and handsome facial features, and a jacaranda full of blue flowers the size of broken rice grains was boredomly dangling in his hand, his chin was slightly raised, and his two thick and black eyebrows were slightly beating.

"That's what the master said, come here." The boy shook the jacaranda in his hand and shouted.

Kang Yan frowned, seeing that there was no one left and right, she knew that she was talking about herself, who was this person, and how could she run to her grandmother's Zhuangzi for no reason.

"This girl is so rude, didn't you hear the master call you?" Seeing Kang Yan hesitating, the young man impatiently stepped forward and took two steps to Kang Yan's side.

"Hey, let me ask you, where does your master live? How do you get there? ”

Master? Is it talking about grandmother? Kang Yan looked up at the young man, and saw that he was wearing a crimson brocade arrow-sleeved robe, with a white jade waist seal around his waist, if it weren't for the hem of the robe, and a little dirt, this was really a noble young man's dress.

The young man noticed that Kang Yan's eyes fell on the hem of his clothes, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed, this girl was so rude, "What do you see, I haven't seen dirty clothes, why don't you answer when asked?" ”

ps: I was wrong, I was going to make up for it yesterday, but I was too tired after more than 20 hours of driving, I fell asleep while feeding the baby, and I woke up to more than two o'clock in the morning, so I was ashamed to break the change, bow and apologize!
