Chapter 975: Full Moon Ceremony

After Empress Zhou was out of confinement, she moved back to Kunning Palace to hold a full moon ceremony for the eldest prince.

Su Youyi also took the concubines and Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi back to the palace, Ji Yushen followed as usual, and now Su Youyi takes him wherever she goes, and everyone is used to seeing him.

Just outside the Kunning Palace, Dan'er was ordered by Queen Zhou to come out to greet her, Su Youyi took a few steps forward, and saw a wooden bow hanging on the left side of the door, which looked very strong.

Su Youyi said with a smile: "There is a cloud of etiquette, Zisheng, the man is set on the left side of the door, and the woman is set on the right side of the door, but I haven't seen such a ceremony for a long time." ”

Dan'er replied respectfully: "Back to the Queen Mother, this is all the emperor's meaning, the emperor said that the full moon of the eldest prince should be paid special attention." ”

"That's true."

Su Youyi nodded, and walked towards Kunning Palace, only to see that the hall was crowded, and almost all the people who should have come came, seeing Su Youyi recently, they all got up and saluted.

Su Youyi looked at the crowd, only the eldest princess who was still in confinement was missing, and even the Xue family with a big belly also came.

She beckoned to Xue, who walked up to her.

"Why are you here today?"

Su Youyi looked at her belly, Xue's belly was bigger than before, perhaps because of the change of spring clothes, which showed the shape of the belly.

Xue said with a smile: "It was cold before, why didn't the prince let me go out, I held it for a winter, but now it's finally a happy event like the full moon of the eldest prince, I don't take the opportunity to come out and walk around!" ”

After that, he smiled quietly, "I don't hide it from my mother, I also have some selfish intentions, I want to touch the joy of the eldest prince, and let half of the one in my belly be lively and healthy like the eldest prince." ”

Su Youyi tacitly smiled at her, "You have enough blessings, and you still have the eldest princess's share." When your child is born, someone else will come to you to be blessed. ”

As he was talking, Yuan Zhi and Empress Zhou heard that Su Youyi was coming, and they came out together to greet him.

Xiao Jizi stepped forward and said, "Queen Mother, Your Majesty, the auspicious time has arrived." ”

"Queen Mother, please take a seat."

Yuan Zhi sat down with Su Youyi, and then a courtesy official stood in the palace and sang loudly.

The long proclamation was full of auspicious words, and everyone smiled when they heard it, and after reading it, Xiao Kiko sent a long bow, and Motoji took the bow and walked outside the hall.

And they all followed him and looked out.

I saw that he drew four arrows successively and shot them in four directions, which was called shooting the four directions, which meant to tell the news of the birth of the great prince of the gods of the four directions.

It also indicates that the child will take it as his responsibility to do the above things and the four directions.

He put down his bow and arrows, walked towards the incense case in the middle of the courtyard, and calmly put on three incense sticks to comfort the gods of heaven and earth and the souls of the ancestors.

"The ancestors of the Yuan clan have spirits in the sky, bless Chen'er without disasters and difficulties, blessings and wisdom, and longevity."

Waiting for the incense case to be removed, Yuan Zhifu cleaned his hands in the hot water basin brought by the little eunuch, and it was lively for a while, it turned out that Queen Zhou came out with the eldest prince in her arms.

And all the people stood in solemnity.

Empress Zhou hugged the child to Su Youyi, "Chen'er, Chen'er is good, ask the imperial grandmother to hug her." ”

Su Youyi took the child into her arms, only to see that the eldest prince was getting more and more white and fat than before, thinking that when he was just born, Yuanzhi still thought he was wrinkled and red.

How cute it looks now, I can already see the beauty of my parents in my small eyebrows, and I will definitely be a handsome and beautiful man in the future.

The eldest prince looked curiously in Su Youyi's arms, and when he saw her moving face, he didn't blink his eyes stupidly, just stared at Su Youyi.

The surrounding concubines and others were stunned, holding their breath, not daring to say a word, just waiting to see what kind of reaction the eldest prince would have.

Just when all eyes are on -

With a "chirp", the eldest prince smiled.

Everyone burst into laughter and said some compliments, "The eldest prince and the queen mother are really fateful, just looking at the queen mother and laughing, it's so cute!" ”

"Aren't the two grandparents destined? Look, the eyes of the eldest prince are staring at the Queen Mother! ”

"Look, I'm laughing out of my mouth!"

Su Youyi hurriedly wiped the saliva of the eldest prince with her own handkerchief, and then hugged him to Yuanzhi, "Chen'er looks at the father, the father has given you a jade pendant!" ”

This ritual is called Pei Jue, and the father personally ties a jade pendant for the child of the full moon.

When everyone looked over, they saw that Yuan Zhi had a piece of mutton fat white jade in his hand, which was half the size of a palm, and it was even bigger for a child who was only a full moon, which looked very abrupt.

It was because it was extraordinarily large that everyone realized that there was no flaw on the mutton fat white jade, and the nine dragons on it were entangled, lifelike.

For a moment there was silence in the temple.

But anyone with some insight can see that this jade pendant is extraordinary, but it seems to be a royal treasure.

Yuanzhi gave this thing to the great prince who was only full moon, and the deep meaning can be imagined.

Su Youyi also saw the jade pendant, if she remembered correctly, she had seen this thing when the first emperor was there, and the first emperor also cherished it, and rarely took it out to wear it.

She smiled and broke the deadlock, "Yuanji, you and the queen should take the child together to identify it." ”

Identifying this ceremony is that the parents took the child who was only a full moon to identify their relatives, and the emperor and queen held the child, starting with Su Youyi, "Chen'er, this is the emperor's grandmother." ”

Then he took the opportunity to Yuan Tao and others, "This is the second uncle, the second aunt." This is the third uncle......"

After identifying his relatives, he pointed out the four directions of heaven and earth, and in this process, the eldest prince kept his eyes open and looked at it curiously, without crying or losing his temper.

The concubines are all discussing, "I have never seen such a well-behaved child, as if I know that I am doing a big ceremony today!" ”

After the identification was completed, the official outside read the proclamation again, and all the relatives in the apse stepped forward to say auspicious blessings to the eldest prince, and then gave congratulatory gifts to the eldest prince.

There were two or three nurses standing beside the eldest prince and receiving congratulatory gifts from everyone on his behalf.

It's just the other people's opposite, and when the congratulatory gift from the concubine is sent, it is refreshing.

It turned out to be a pair of splendid tiger head shoes, and the first two tigers were not embroidered with embroidery thread, but directly inlaid with colored gemstones!

Two jewel tigers!

Everyone was amazed when they saw it, and when they heard the sound of discussion, they and their concubines were very proud.

Her family background is not thick, and the family spent a lot of money on this pair of "surprisingly successful" tiger head shoes, if she hadn't heard her say that she wanted to use this thing to please the newborn prince, the family would not have agreed.

Now it really caused a warm response, and the concubine was full of joy, waiting for the emperor to praise her.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Zhi stared at the shoes twice, and only felt that the luxury was too warm as the ordinary embroidered tiger head shoes, but after all, this was a matter of harmony with the concubine, and he was inconvenient to say anything.

After giving gifts to the concubine, Concubine Li also gave gifts, but the two sides looked ordinary.
