Qingji now has five concubines, Queen Ji Ko, Mrs. Sun Li, Mrs. Zhu Ji, Mrs. Rumeng, Mrs. Xiaohu, and Mrs. Xiaoci.

Whether it is a lady or a wife, they are collectively called "Mrs."

The third lady of the harem of the Wu State, Qingji still left a position, which was given to Ji Mi, the princess of the Chu State.

Anyway, she is the sister of the king of Chu, and Chu Mi, who has made a marriage contract with Qingji, has a low reputation.

At this moment, Ji Ko, Sun Li and other concubines saw that Qingji had canonized Rumeng as a world wife, and they felt very uncomfortable.

The most important thing is that Rumeng actually agreed!

What does it mean?

Rumeng is indeed covetous for the position of King Wu.

As the saying goes, the mother is more precious than the son, and the son is more precious than the mother.

In the house of the princes and nobles, the mother and son complement each other.

If a mother is not favored by his father, his son is likely to be left out in the cold.

In the same way, if the son's abilities are not outstanding and not appreciated by the father, the mother will not be favored and will not be known in her old age......

At the family banquet, after being full of wine and food, Mrs. Zhu Ji opened her big eyes full of tenderness and sweetness, looked at Qingji and said softly: "King, the concubine has a reluctant invitation. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Wang, Hong'er is more than a year old, and Xi'er will also turn one year old, but neither of them has held a birthday ceremony. Why didn't the king take advantage of this family reunion to make a birthday ceremony for the second son? ”

Hearing this, Qingji couldn't help but bow slightly.

The first birthday ceremony, also known as the "lot grabbing ceremony".

Just like modern full moon wine and full year wine, it is of great significance.

In ancient times, due to the backward medical and health conditions, the infant mortality rate was extremely high, not to mention ordinary people, even the children of the emperor's family could die at a few years old......

It's not that they don't get proper care, but some congenital problems, or bad luck, and a small disaster or illness can kill the child.

Therefore, the first birthday ceremony is a festival to pray that your children can grow up safely and will not suffer any unwarranted disasters.

Qingji was either busy fighting wars or touring everywhere before, so he was negligent for a while and did not hold a birthday ceremony for Wu Hong.

Now it seems that Qingji can take this opportunity to hold a birthday ceremony for his two sons.

"Okay."

With Qingji's nod, all the people of Gong'e Temple went down to prepare.

First of all, it is a brocade cloth full of kapok, spread on the floor to prevent the two little boys from bumping into each other.

Then, it was to put on padded jackets for the two little boys, and it was freezing cold, for fear that they would freeze.

In the end, the jade seal, wooden sword, bamboo slips, gold, brushes and other things were placed on the huge cotton cloth, and Wu Hong and Wu Xi were allowed to choose the items by themselves.

The symbolism of each object is different.

Bamboo slips and brushes symbolize strategy, and the child may become a pillar of talent and resourcefulness in the future.

The wooden sword and gold symbolize the entry and exit of the general, and the child may become a secretary who is given a gold knighthood in the future.

The jade seal is needless to say, symbolizing power, and the future of this child is limitless.

As for things like jade pendants and flutes, they symbolize good qualities, and this child may become a gentleman with high morals in the future......

The list goes on and on.

It's up to your child to grab it!

"Which of the two children will come first?"

Qingji asked.

"Hong'er is older, or Hong'er comes first."

Zhu Ji seemed quite polite.

The elderly come first, and this is indeed the case.

Although Wu Hong is only a few months older than Wu Xi, he is still the elder brother.

At this time, at the behest of Qingji, Rumeng hugged Wu Hong and put it on the cotton cloth and asked him to crawl towards the items placed on it.

Wu Hong just opened his ignorant eyes, looked left and right, and finally bent down and stretched out his little hand there unhurriedly.

What exactly will he grab?

I saw that his white and tender little hand had already touched the jade pendant, but then he put it down again, looked away, grabbed the wooden sword with one hand, and held it in his arms!

Mrs. Zhu Ji, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckled: "Sister Rumeng, it seems that Hong'er may become the great Sima of my Wu Kingdom in the future. ”

"Borrow my sister's auspicious words."

Rumeng chuckled.

Her Hong'er, there is no need to get involved in the struggle for the throne, her life is in danger.

Therefore, it is a good choice to be a great Sima and become a pillar of the Wu Kingdom!

Because although Wu Hong is the eldest son of Qingji, he is only the eldest son, according to the patriarchal system of Wu since ancient times, if Qingji has a son-in-law, Wu Hong is not qualified to inherit the throne.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Wu Hong, who was holding a wooden sword in his arms, didn't seem to be satisfied, and crawled all the way over and kicked the delicate jade seal into his arms.

At this moment, the palace was suddenly silent!

Ji Ko and Zhu Ji's concubines were already so shocked that they couldn't speak.

Jade seal and wooden sword?

What is this combination?

What is the heavens portending?

"Hong'er, quickly put down that jade seal!"

Like a dream, he suddenly said softly with a straight face.

However, Wu Hong didn't know the meaning of Rumeng's words at all, so he took the jade seal and the wooden sword in his own hands and crawled towards Qingji.

"Good boy! Promising! ”

Qingji took advantage of the situation to hold Wu Hong in his arms, and asked people to put the jade seal and wooden sword back again.

What can a one-year-old baby understand?

Qingji doesn't think that there is a providence in the dark!

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhu Ji couldn't help frowning, and immediately at the signal of Qingji, she put Wu Xi in her arms on the cotton cloth and asked him to climb over by himself.

Wu Xixiao, who was not yet a year old, had an ignorant look on his face.

However, under the guidance of his mother Zhu Ji, Xiao Wu Xi was able to crawl all the way towards the items placed on the cotton cloth.

What exactly will Wu Xi grab?

In the stunned gaze of everyone, I saw Xiao Wuxi pouting his buttocks, twisting and twisting to the side of those items, reaching out his little hand, and holding a piece of crystal clear jade pendant......

Put it down!

Put it down!

Zhu Ji shouted in her heart, looking anxious.

Sun Li then covered her mouth and chuckled, and said, "Sister Zhu Ji, it seems that Xi'er may become a humble gentleman like Ji Zi in the future, a pillar of the country!" ”

Sun Li's words are full of spicy irony.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with the words.

The so-called humble gentleman, gentle as jade!

This seems to indicate that Wu Xi will have a good character in the future and become a minister of society!

But, how can Zhu Ji be willing?

It's a pity that Xiao Wuxi only grabbed the jade pendant and played with it.

"Playthings are demoralized!"

Zhu Ji has a feeling of hating iron but not steel.

Qingji waved his hand indifferently and said, "Xi'er is still a baby, ignorant and ignorant, how can she understand that?" In the future, I only need to follow the good temptation, and I believe that Xi'er will be able to become the minister of my Wu State like his uncle, and become a great sage who moves the world! ”
