Chapter 182: The Change of Qianyuan Palace (1)
The fourth day of the fourth month finally arrived, and the entire capital was immersed in jubilation. All civil and military officials, above the third rank, were cleaned up and drove their carriages toward the Qingxuan Gate of the Imperial Palace. The people walked out of their homes and entered the workshop area to celebrate and buy cheap goods. The concubines in the harem were dressed up and left a singing outside the Zhongyi Gate.
The imperial guards and imperial guards were neatly arranged in the White Jade Square outside Qianyuan Palace. The colorful flags embroidered with golden dragons extended from Qingxuan Gate, Zhongyi Gate, and Tongtian Gate to outside Qianyuan Palace. The colorful flags were waving and making noise. On the nine-story steps of the palace were eighteen eunuchs standing side by side. Outside the palace gate, there were also twenty-four eunuchs and palace maids who were destined to be at any time. When entering the hall, a total of sixty palace maids were divided into two rows and stood in the center of the hall.
The first to enter Qianyuan Palace were civil and military officials. Under the guidance of the palace maids, they sat in an orderly manner according to their official titles. After all the officials were seated, the palace maids began to guide the concubines. When almost all the seats were full, the prince and princess officially appeared.
King Xiang and the Princess walked in the front, behind King Ling and the Princess, then King Zhuang and the Princess, and finally Princess Yunxuan, who had never been married.
After everyone in the Qianyuan Palace was in place, Emperor Liang appeared. Emperor Liang, the Nine Five, was wearing a golden dragon robe and wearing a nine-bead-like Yu Crown. With the help of Emperor Jingjia, the imperial concubine was supported by the imperial concubine Jingjia. Along the way, there were shouts of "Long Live My Emperor", from Baiyu Square to Qianyuan Palace, the cheers of thousands of people drowned Emperor Liang, and he enjoyed this feeling.
Emperor Liang threw away the dragon robe and sat firmly on the dragon throne. Seeing the crowd lying on the black and white lying from outside the palace to inside the palace, a sense of heroic spirit that looked down on the world again surged out in his chest. This is the great power, this is the control of the world!
"All up!"
Emperor Liang's voice passed through Qianyuan Palace and floated to Baiyu Square. After the mountain shouted, everyone dared to get up and return to their seats. Everyone's eyes were all facing Emperor Liang. Emperor Liang's dragon throne was three levels higher than the crowd, so everyone looked up at the emperor.
This feeling is really great. Thousands of ministers can only crawl at their feet. Even if they get up, they can only look up at themselves. This is the majesty that only emperors can possess, this is the glory that only emperors deserve. All of this belongs to him Xiao Fangxu!
"Today is a celebration of the full moon of my emperor grandson. I have been in power for thirty-one years. This is my first emperor grandson. This is not only a major event for the royal family, but also a happy event for my Daliang! King Xiang and the princess are sympathetic to the frontline war, so they postponed the celebration until the full moon of the emperor grandson. I am quite pleased that King Xiang has such a broad mind."
When King Xiang heard this, he pulled the princess out immediately, knelt in front of Emperor Liang, and kowtowed in fear and fear.
"My son is flattered and caring about the country is what a minister should do. My son and Danyan thanked his father again!"
King Xiang and the princess bowed their heads again, their low posture and pious attitude made Emperor Liang nodded in satisfaction.
"You all have a fair share! Danyan is also an indispensable contribution to the birth of the royal grandson for the royal family. The difficulty is that you can maintain such a humble attitude. This is really my blessing!"
Faced with Emperor Liang's praise for his son, the ministers still maintained a respectful expression on their faces, but there was a person in the huge Qianyuan Palace who showed his true nature indifferently. This person was no one else, but King Ling. He said goodbye and muttered in a low voice: "Isn't it just that he gave birth to a son, and no one has yet to make a conclusion on the throne. What can I do with a son?"
Relying on the closest King of Ling, King Zhuang could hear it clearly, and he whispered: "Seventh brother, don't comment on such occasions."
"Brother Six, you'd better stop meddling in other people's business. You really have to thank yourself for being born with foot disease, otherwise, haha!"
King Ling showed a strange and playful smile, which seemed extremely strange and cold to King Zhuang. King Zhuang was not unaware of his identity. He was the least present among his brothers, but he always wanted to maintain brotherly and family affection. He rarely spoke, and every time he spoke was due to brotherly love. Among these brothers, only King Yu really regarded himself as a brother, but unfortunately he was not present today.
Emperor Liang had noticed the words of the princes, but Emperor Liang did not intend to make too much of a concern in this occasion. Emperor Liang asked King Xiang and the princess to stand up, and then announced: "The imperial baptism ceremony of the emperor's grandson has officially begun!"
Concubine Jingjia immediately stood up and helped Emperor Liang walk towards the Baiyu corridor platform. A four-legged imperial washing basin had been placed there. The color of the wooden basin was dark brown and the whole body was round, half a person tall. There was no auspicious beast carved around the wooden basin, but it only revealed the original appearance of the wood.
The Minister of Rites had already jogged all the way to the balcony before Emperor Liang, and kowtowed to Emperor Liang and Emperor Jingjia, "Report to Your Majesty, I will report to Empress, this imperial wash pot uses longan wood grown in the south. This wood is born with a strange fragrance. It can grow one inch thicker in ten years and become a timber for a hundred years. The thickness of the longan wood of such a wooden basin requires three hundred years of age. The biggest feature of this wood is that it can release a refreshing fragrance when it comes to heat."
"I have also heard of Longyan Wood. It is because the Secretary of State is determined to find Longyan Wood that has been around for the past three hundred years."
"This is my duty! Please ask Your Majesty to start the bath!"
"Where is the emperor's grandson?"
Emperor Liang asked, a nanny walked up with a young baby boy in small steps, following her four younger nannys. The leading nanny first handed the emperor grandson to Princess Xiang, and then knelt down with the four nannys.
Princess Xiang took the emperor's grandson and immediately took it into her arms. After all, it was the first time she became a mother. Some of her movements seemed a little stiff, but this did not hinder her maternal love. Seeing her son sleeping heavily, the princess was indescribable joy.
Emperor Liang stared at the emperor's grandson from beginning to end. Seeing the princess hugging the emperor's grandson, Emperor Liang could no longer help it. He said, "Come on, let me hug you."
The princess carefully handed the emperor grandson to Emperor Liang. Compared to the princess, Emperor Liang's movements seemed even more clumsy, but every movement of his movement was very light, for fear that he would wake up the emperor grandson by accident. Looking at the emperor's fair and fat face, thick eyelashes covering his eyes, he would wield his little hands and head from time to time.
"Oh, it's so lovely!" As the grandson of the emperor, Emperor Jingjia was also very happy with Emperor Liang at this time. They had seen the emperor's grandson for a long time, and they visited each other from time to time within this month, but at this time, they still had light when they looked at the emperor's grandson, which was exactly like the first time they saw the emperor's grandson.
The Minister of Rites looked at Emperor Liang and Concubine Jingjia, but did not dare to speak for a while, but after looking up a few times, he finally had to speak and remind him: "Your Majesty, Empress, the auspicious time has come!"
"Okay, don't delay the auspicious time!"
Emperor Liang handed over the emperor's grandson to the head nanny. The nanny stood up and nodded to the four nanny behind him. They immediately raised four buckets of warm water and poured them into the wooden basin. As the warm water soaked the wooden basin, the fragrance really began to spread from the wooden basin as the Minister of Rites said. The first one was the nose of Emperor Liang and Emperor Jingjia. Then, as the water volume continued to increase, the fragrance became more and more intense, and began to teleport into the Qianyuan Palace.
A nanny held a handkerchief in both hands, and a flying golden dragon embroidered on it. The nanny respectfully presented the handkerchief to Emperor Liang. Emperor Liang took the handkerchief and soaked it in the wooden basin, wrung out some moisture and wiped it on the emperor's body.
The nanny gently untied the cradle that wrapped the emperor's grandson, revealing the emperor's upper body. Emperor Liang carried the handkerchief carefully and slowly wiped the emperor's grandson's chest from the beginning. Perhaps because he was touched, the emperor's grandson wriggled a few times first, and his eyes began to rotate under his nose, but after Emperor Liang's series of actions, the emperor did not wake up.
Then the imperial concubine Jingjia was soaked in the veil and began to wipe the other half of the emperor's body. The emperor's grandson was completely awakened. The baby opened his hazy eyes and looked at the strange or familiar faces in front of him. After thrusting his big eyes, his body stretched for a moment and began to cry.
The Imperial Concubine Jingjia was so scared that she didn't know what to do. She looked at Emperor Liang in panic. The nanny hurriedly wrapped the emperor's grandson and started coaxing her. Since the emperor's grandson was born, she was the wet nurse of the emperor's grandson. Generally, the emperor's grandson would soon be quiet. Although the princess couldn't bear it, she still believed that the nanny could coax it.
However, today the emperor may have felt the extraordinary atmosphere around him. Not only did he stop crying, but he cried louder and louder. No matter how the nanny coaxed or teased her, it would be useless.
