Amid the sounds of fireworks and firecrackers, the "three-day ceremony" at Prince Ning's Mansion was truly lively and exciting.

Now Prince Ning is in great favor with the emperor, and all the officials in the court are trying to curry favor with him.

The front yard of the palace.

From the first light of morning, people and cars were coming and going in front of Prince Ning's mansion, and various gifts filled the front yard of the mansion. Three large boxes of rewards from the palace were placed in the middle of the yard.

Prince Ning was greeting the royal family, officials and ministers who had come to pay their respects, and was waiting for the auspicious time to arrive before performing the bathing ceremony.

The only drawback is that the eunuchs in the palace passed on the news that the Queen caught a cold last night and will not be attending the Children's Bathing Festival today!

The backyard of the palace.

Chunhua Garden and Jinxiu Garden became two completely different places.

Chunhua Garden was deserted, its doors empty except for a few red lanterns hung for the New Year. Throughout the courtyard, the newly arrived maids squatted in the corners, listening to the bustling noises from next door. Even the head maid, Bai Zhi, couldn't help but watch from the doorway. The women who had come to attend the ceremony were practically absent from Chunhua Garden, not even a single woman from the Duke's Mansion was present.

Adjacent to Chunhua Garden, Jinxiu Garden was packed with women, eager to share in the twins' good fortune, and a long line formed in front of Xu's inner chambers. The maids and servants from the palace were also stationed in the courtyard, wondering how much money they could snatch from the laundering money today.

"Have you heard? When the two princesses of Prince Ning's Mansion gave birth the day before yesterday, the sky was filled with red clouds. It was truly an auspicious sign."

"I just don't know who this auspicious sign is referring to?"

"Of course it's the twins. Didn't you see that no one is going to the garden next door?"

"I heard that the prince even asked the palace to send an imperial physician. Perhaps Shen had given birth to a sickly child, and everyone was afraid of catching the disease, so no one even came from her own family!"

"Tsk tsk, you don't know that Shen is just the title of the principal wife. On the wedding day, she was carried into the house together with Xu."

…

The group of women lined up to eat melons.

Bai Zhi, the head maid of Chunhua Garden, was so anxious when she heard the gossip that she almost rushed over and tore the women's mouths apart.

In the inner room of Chunhua Garden, Shen Yuyao seemed to be oblivious to the situation. She washed her hands slowly and began to breastfeed the baby.

[Baizhi, you little fool, so many people are kissing, hugging, and lifting the baby up, are you acting like a romantic tyrant? You might end up killing the baby!]

[My mother is really smart. Learning some medical skills is essential for palace fighting and family intrigue...]

[Hurry up and drink milk, accumulate more immortal spirits, and later I will show you ordinary people what auspiciousness is! ]

Shen Yuyao couldn't help but smile as she listened to the little fairy treasure muttering.

The little fairy treasure was stunned.

[My mother is truly the most beautiful woman in the capital...mua]

"Miss, the head nanny from the front hall is here to pick up Princess Xiaoxian. The auspicious time is almost here."

The head maid Zi Su came in, wearing a festive pink jacket, lifting the curtain.

"Zi Su, there are many people here today, please keep an eye on the princess and don't be careless. Once the baby's baptism ceremony is complete, bring her back to Chunhua Garden immediately..."

"Don't worry, my lady, my servant will never take her eyes off you." Zi Su took the swaddling clothes and walked towards the front hall. "This little princess is so adorable, so chubby."

[Wow... Hurry up, I want something delicious and fun...]

[Perilla, hurry up, I can't wait. ]

Shen Yuyao listened to Xia Xiaoxian's inner thoughts, shook her head, and chuckled again.

It seems that this little princess likes to be lively and bustling. The deserted Chunhua Garden today is somewhat owed to her.

When Zi Su came to the main hall in the front yard carrying the little fairy treasure, many guests had already gathered there.

Outside the hall, dozens of banquet tables have been set up with four kinds of dried fruits, candied fruits, cakes, and pickles. They will be served as soon as the baby-bathing ceremony is over.

Fruits, incense and candles have been placed on the inner altar. In the middle of the hall, there are three copper basins with koi patterns, filled with hot water. Several maids are putting onions and ginger into the basins.

[Are you going to get me to cook hot pot? ]

Xia Xiaoxian turned around and saw two senior maids from Jinxiu Garden standing beside Zi Su, one of them holding a baby in her arms.

I don't know what these two princes and princesses who were born on the same day look like. Xia Xiaoxian turned her head a few times and raised it slightly, but she still couldn't see their appearance.

"The auspicious time has arrived!" The shout from the eunuch in the palace almost sent Xia Xiaoxian away.

The hall, which was originally bustling with noise, suddenly became quiet.

The eyes of everyone inside and outside the hall were focused on the three swaddling clothes.

There were three babies. One had a round, smooth head with big, round eyes that rolled around, and was very cute to look at. The other two had red, wrinkled skin and strange head shapes, and looked like two little monkeys no matter how you looked at them.

Everyone looked at Xia Xiaoxian and expressed their sincere admiration.

"Wow, this baby is so cute!"

"With a full forehead and a broad and round face, he is definitely a rare talent."

"This woman is extraordinary, with the appearance of an immortal!"

.....

When it came to the two monkeys' turn, the contrast was probably too obvious for them to say anything that went against their conscience.

Just said: "Good luck!"

【It’s not a problem if you don’t know the goods, it’s a problem if you compare the goods...】

Prince Ning listened to what the onlookers said, his face changing from gloomy to happy.

After he finished his prayer, the three babies were placed in the basin to bathe.

Xia Xiaoxian was flattered by everyone and felt like she was in a trance. In a moment of excitement, she couldn't help but move her spirit.

I saw Xia Xiaoxian suddenly sitting upright in the basin, with clouds and mist all around, and the whole room was filled with strange fragrance. Thousands of rays of light burst out from the baby's body and rushed straight to the sky.

After all, the baby had just been breastfed for two days, so the little bit of spirit only lasted for a few seconds, and then returned to its original state in an instant.
