The little prince is full of spirit, strong and lively, at the beginning, only the people of Yan Xitang knew, and when it came to the day of washing, everyone knew.

On this day, there is an endless stream of people who come to Yanxitang to 'add a basin', even Shen Tingnian's family has been invited into the palace, Shen Tingnian is in confinement and does not see outsiders, but I heard that Shen's mother is also here, and I have to ask Yuezhu to change her to a water-blue forehead that enhances her complexion, the bottom embroidery is double-sided, and the crochet is delicately patterned, although she is very thin in the pure white middle clothes on her body.

Shen's mother was brought in by Suoqiao, and the two also laughed and said that the little prince looked like Suoqiao, and Suoqiao had been holding her arm with one hand, obviously because they were familiar with each other.

The house is refreshing and refreshing is the smell of fresh flowers on the windowsill, Shen Tingnian was woken up by the child early in the morning, and now he is a little sleepy after lunch, and he leans against the carved railing bed, and the half-open window faintly comes into the noise of the outer courtyard.

She didn't show up to affect the little prince's baptism ceremony at all, and last night the emperor said that the big golden basin prepared was enough for this little guy to flutter...... Thinking of this, Shen Tingnian smiled again.

"Yuan Nu." Shen's mother shouted first at the door of the outer room, and when she arrived in the inner room, she called her with a smile on her eyes, "Yuan Nu, is your body okay?" This firstborn child is going to hurt a little ......."

"Look at the complexion is very good, there is flesh on the face."

"The little prince is strong, and he looks really beautiful......

She asked a lot of questions in a row, as if she was asking and answering herself, and she didn't expect Shen Tingnian to answer.

Shen Tingnian really didn't want to go back, she was silent for a while, and when Yuezhu and the others all withdrew, there were only two people in the room before she said, "How is my brother's health?" Some time ago, I heard Suoqiao say that my brother is doing things in a down-to-earth manner. ”

She doesn't often get outside news, and things about the Shen family are only occasionally asked, if there is something they will also take the initiative to post, the current Shen family to Shen He in the court as a point, extended to the entire Shen family, the Shen family has returned to Beijing one after another, for a while the Shen family house is full, and Shen Xue has also ushered in new development, Fenglai Academy has become the most popular college in the Great Zhou Dynasty because Shen Tingnian has studied, especially the women's enrollment has also broken the record of decades.

Everything is the trend of the times, and it is useless for Shen Tingnian to know whether he knows or not. The world only sees her today, once she was crowned a concubine, and then she was crowned a concubine, and she won a son in one fell swoop, and ascended to the sky in one step.

When she read Concubine De's last letter, she suddenly understood that the glory of the Shen family was also because of a woman, a strange woman Shen Bai, and the later decline and dormancy were only because there was no capable person, and no one could stand in the wave. Therefore, behind the prosperity and decline of the past hundreds of years, there are countless red faces and dry bones.

She lived for the Shen family in the first twenty years, and now, she is alive, she is the glory of the Shen family, and she is the shade tree that can shelter the people of the clan.

is like Shen's mother in front of her, who used to beg in the Shen family's gatehouse for a long time to even see her daughter, but now she lives in the main room in a dignified manner, and whoever comes to the door must first visit her.

Shen's mother's smile was slightly retracted, and the joy in her eyes also dimmed, "What do you mention him, he won't be angry since he was a child!" For so many years, he followed ...... I can't help it up like mud. Now he also uses medicine every day, and he has to go out to mess around, saying that he should not be a waste, if he also fought to support the whole family back then, how could my mother be willing to send you away......"

Shen Tingnian's brows furrowed instantly, and his eyes looking at her were also full of disappointment.

Being sent to the clan by her family is probably a gap that she can't fill in her life, but there is also a little thing worth remembering under this scar, that is, she clearly remembers that when she was taken away by the Shen family's carriage, her brother Shen Bin followed from a distance, chasing after her for two days and nights.

Although he didn't have the ability to save her, he at least tried, so Shen Tingnian always knew that this brother in the family was really the most soft-hearted and kind-hearted person.

Seeing that she was silent, Shen's mother's resentment gradually stopped, she didn't want to say something depressing on such a festive day, "It's that your brother is out now, but he has always refused to let me tell you that he went to the scientific examination before, although his ranking was not too good, but this year he is becoming more and more diligent, maybe he will be able to get the Jinshi next year and be an official......"

Shen Tingnian was stunned for a moment, she had the impression that her younger brother Shen Bo was very wild and skinny, when he was a child, he was chased and beaten by Shen's father when he grabbed something to eat, and he didn't like to study.

"How could he go to the imperial examination, where is he a person who is willing to study-"

"It's his own willingness, no one forced him, and there is Shen He's help in this matter, so he can't be wrong." Shen's mother heard her suspicions and hurriedly explained, "It's going to happen, you don't believe that we always believe Shen He, he has done his best for you for so many years......"

"Hongu knows." Shen Tingnian suddenly interrupted her coldly, and yawned tiredly.

Yuezhu, who heard the movement, quickly came in and said to Shen's mother euphemistically: "The concubine is tired, and I invite the lady to go to the outer hall to drink tea, everyone is adding pots to the little prince in an orderly manner......"

"It's going to start so soon, so let's go over and have a look." Mother Shen didn't know which sentence made Shen Tingnian unhappy, she was a little panicked for a while, she was helped up by Yuezhu and nodded her head to go out, and she didn't even dare to look at Shen Tingnian more.

The beginning of the baptism ceremony is to add a basin, in the folk, relatives take the lead in adding a small spoonful of water to the basin according to respect and humility, and then put some coins, which is called "adding a basin". If it is gold, silver, and copper, it is put in a basin, and if it is silver, it is placed in a tea tray. In addition, you can also add some cinnamon, lychees, red dates, peanuts, chestnuts and other happy fruits.

The little prince who can be held by the emperor and put down the golden basin is very expensive, except for the gold coin can be put into the basin with him, everything else is put on the tea tray outside, everyone knows that the little prince is now a first-class precious, and pleasing him is also pleasing the emperor, even if there is no money, it will be raised, and it will be replaced with a sufficient amount of gold to add a basin, not to mention that those who can come to participate can lack this bit of gold.

This head is lively, after Yuezhu led Shen's mother inside, she quickly returned to the backyard, full of joy and brisk steps, she was afraid that Shen Tingnian would be depressed alone in the house, after all, there was a lot of noise outside.

"Yuezhu, you went and called the lock bridge to come in, and," Shen Tingnian beckoned, signaled her to come closer, and whispered: "The child can't catch a cold, it's easy to blow in if there are many people outside, let the nurse bring the child back if you make a fuss, and say that you want to ......feed the baby when you are hungry."

"When the slave maid first went, the emperor had already taken the little prince out of the basin and didn't let him pounce a few times, and the little prince was not happy."

Yue Zhu answered the words and was about to go outside, when she saw Suoqiao coming in quickly, she was so happy: "Niangniang, the little prince has opened his eyes!" ”

"I must have been dazzled by the basin of gold, and my eyes closed again as soon as I opened them, and my little brow was wrinkled."

She not only spoke energetically, but also told the scene vividly, this palace has not been so lively for too long, it is jubilant, even the emperor's enthronement is magnificent, the atmosphere is tense, and then there are many things...... Keeping many precepts of filial piety, Shen Tingnian was sick, and the atmosphere in the palace was also covered with dark clouds.

But today's scene is different, if it weren't for the wave of people who came and sent away another wave, I'm afraid Yan Xitang wouldn't be able to stand up.

"The child is crying again?" Shen Tingnian moved, wanting to see the child more and more, Yue Zhu saw her expression, and immediately took a step back and went out quietly.

"No, it's good to be held by the emperor." Suoqiao added a soft pillow behind her, thinking that she was tired of sitting, "The little prince will recognize people, and the auspicious grandma who hugged him back to him, he kicked his legs hard and didn't let him ......"

After listening to her for a while, Shen Tingnian mentioned the matter, "Later, you will go to the front, avoid people, go to see Shen Bo, if it is convenient to talk, tell him that cloth clothes and food are coke for life." ”

Suoqiao pondered these last eight words, and his expression gradually became solemn, not knowing what Shen Bo had done to let Shen Tingnian say such a thing.

"Slave and maid, go now." She was about to walk to the door, and remembered that she still had something to say when she came back, and she was really happy and busy in the past few days, "Niangniang, Concubine Hu wants to come over to see you, although others have also mentioned it, but the emperor has pushed it for you." Only Concubine Hu asked the slave to come back and ask......"

"Let her in." Shen Tingnian yawned again, just in time to hear her talk about things outside to refresh herself, and she was still in confinement, sleepy all day long like carrying her child before.

It's probably because the body is weak, and it will be difficult to raise it for a while.

Hu Yuchun came in quickly, as if he was waiting outside the door, and when he saw Shen Tingnian, he smiled first, "Congratulations to the concubine, congratulations to the concubine." ”

She was joking, but she was also genuinely happy.

Shen Tingnian leaned on the head of the bed, and was amused by her and smiled, "Why are you alone, Sister Xian?" ”

"Let Mama Liu watch outside, the concubine has something to say when she comes in."

Hu Yuchun was afraid that there would not be enough time, and he didn't talk about the old days, Shen Tingnian's body was how she could see it with her eyes, and now that the little prince was in the limelight, she was naturally more expensive than her son.

In fact, she herself is already very expensive.

It's just that now the position is more stable and unshakable.

Shen Tingnian looked at her, nodded a little bit with his hand on the quilt, and his voice was more energetic: "Is it Ye's business?" ”

Hu Yuchun was still waiting to see Shen Tingnian shocked by her words, but he didn't expect to be shocked, "You know? ”

"Yesterday, I heard them read the congratulatory gift list and mentioned Concubine Chen, so I probably guessed something."

Obviously, the two of them wanted to go together, Hu Yuchun had a guess in his heart after seeing Chen Yuyi, and later found someone to verify, only to find out that the time when Chen Yuyi was sick was when the Ye sisters committed suicide by taking poison.

"The concubine still remembers when you asked Shu how no one doubted Chen Yuyi when she died, she was suddenly scared sick at that time, unconscious, and moved out of the East Palace......" The reason why Hu Yuchun remembers it so truly is also because she almost became an innocent pond fish in the original incident, if it weren't for Shen Tingnian to hire a royal doctor for her, I am afraid that she would have died of illness.

"Only now when I look back on it, I know what it means to 'it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years'."
