Chapter 597: Full Moon Ceremony
Soon, when the auspicious time came, Kangxi led all the elder brothers and princes and ministers to Cining Palace. After Tong Jiashi stepped forward to discuss, he notified everyone to start preparations.
The first is to shoot the four directions of heaven and earth, by Yinren, the father, holding a bow and arrow, shooting arrows towards heaven and earth, indicating that the child will serve heaven and earth and go down to the Quartet.
"Good!"
Everyone applauded, Yinren's two arrows shot beautifully!
After performing this salute, there will be a eunuch who sings the newspaper to sing the next item, "Tell the ancestors~"
In this item, Kangxi led Yinren, and the two of them worked together to incense the heavens and the earth and comfort the ancestors.
Next, it's "Yingzi".
Shu Ning helped the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager held the little baby, and the group appeared in front of everyone from the inner hall of Cining Palace. Because there was no baptism, it was the first time that everyone saw the little milk bag.
Carried out by the Queen Mother, it has already given the baby a great face, and the work of holding the baby to show everyone was carried by the nurse to the child.
Yinren followed behind him, introducing the arrival of uncles and uncles to his baby son one by one, although the son didn't know who was who, and even fell asleep in the back, but this is a ritual, it doesn't matter if the child wakes up or not.
Next, it is time to shave the head, and in a month's time, a lot of broken hair has grown on the head of the little milk bag, and Zhang Ying is the main knife, using a razor, to shave off the fetal hair on the head of the little milk bag little by little.
Because Shu Ning had greeted her in advance, the maids were very careful when they cleaned up the fetal hair, and put all the fetal hair in a sachet. Shu Ning thought that this was the first time the child had shaved his head, and he must keep a souvenir.
"He Cheng~"
After the eunuch sang the newspaper, the princes and ministers who arrived and the harem concubines lined up one by one, and put gifts in the copper basin in front of the little milk bag, including bracelets, collars, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc., and some officials were really poor, so they brought small clothes sewn by their own wives.
It was the first time that Shu Ning saw such a gift, picked up the small clothes and looked back and forth, and finally had to sigh, this stitch is denser than his own mother.
Kangxi naturally saw this little dress, and only raised his eyebrows in slight surprise, so he didn't pay attention to it. And the poor official, who had been looking at everyone's faces, saw it and instantly breathed a sigh of relief, it was not that he was picking the door, but that there was really nothing left at home.
Yinren also looked at the poor official, thought about it, this person's information, and turned his head with a smile, saying that he could get a good minister this time!
This thing. It passed quietly like this, and the officials sighed again and again, Long Live Lord and the Crown Prince are really benevolent and righteous, and they don't dislike such a shabby gift.
Soon, He Cheng's gift was over, and everyone should start the banquet, in fact, there was originally a "name" ceremony, but what if Kangxi didn't name it? I had to be empty!
Since then, the full moon gift of the little milk bag has ended, and no brother has ever had such a grand full moon ceremony, no matter how jealous everyone is in their hearts, they have to keep their mouths shut. Who made the little milk bag the prince's sister-in-law! This is the grandson of the Long Live Lord, is it not rare for the Long Live Lord!
After the full moon ceremony of the little milk bag, Shu Ning was ready to pack up and go back to the prince's mansion, which lives in the palace, although everything has maids to do, but it is also very boring! Every time I look up, it's always a boxy little world, and I have tasted the taste of freedom, where is I willing to stay here!
