"Thank you~" Lin Wanwan smiled happily. So many people came to witness her growing up today, and her little baby teeth were so cute.
Ye's two sisters-in-law came over and handed the prepared gold lock and gold bracelet to the old lady, who then put them around Lin Wanwan's neck.
Lin Wanwan grabbed a gold lock and put it in her little mouth to gnaw on. After a couple of bites, she realized she couldn't eat it, so she put it down and pouted.
Then, Ye Lanyin handed the prepared comb to the old lady.
The old lady's loving gaze was full of pity.
"One comb brings wisdom, two combs bring good luck, three combs bring skillful hands, four combs bring everyone's love, five combs bring health and freedom from illness, six combs bring talent and learning, seven and eight combs will make you a healthy baby who lives to be a hundred years old."
After the old lady finished reading, Ye Lanyin's eyes were red.
From the moment the little one was born, almost dying, to now being lively and energetic, she felt a mix of emotions.
Next came the procession through the scallion gate and the striking of the gong, all conducted by General Ye.
After all that, it was finally time for the baby's first birthday celebration (or "grasping the baby's head").
Ye Wennan carried Lin Wanwan to a round table covered with red cloth that had been prepared beforehand. The table was filled with all sorts of small items.
The little guy stuck his bottom up, lay on the small round table, and spun around, making everyone burst into laughter.
“Little Wanwan, it’s your first birthday celebration! Look at her, sticking her bottom out like she’s digging into the ground.” Yao Qianshu laughed so hard he couldn’t straighten up.
Seeing this, Ye Lanyin covered her mouth and chuckled.
Hearing everyone's laughter, Lin Wanwan realized that she had a difficult task to complete today.
I was careless. Ever since she became a child, she has really lost control over all her movements.
Lin Wanwan covered her face.
Then, she looked around.
When she saw a plate of golden melon seeds, she bent over and crawled over, reaching out to grab them, but then remembered that she had just received a congratulatory gift, and immediately stopped.
[My older brothers will take care of the nest from now on.]
She shook her head.
Lin Rui'an almost lost his composure.
My sister is a very resourceful person.
After receiving so many congratulatory gifts, he still remembered to have his family raise him!
Then, he looked at a hammer not far away.
She happily ran over and reached out her hand.
No, the hammer is too heavy; I'm not strong enough.
She puffed out a couple of times and then plopped down on her stomach.
Seeing her precocious and shrewd demeanor, everyone covered their mouths and couldn't stop laughing.
Many of the ministers who had come with them pouted and looked at their wives with aggrieved expressions.
To her surprise, her husband didn't even give her a second glance.
Pen?
She shook her head; her uncle the emperor kept asking her to paint.
No way!
Finally, their gaze settled on Tianfeng.
She babbled incoherently.
"Wind~"
Tianfeng, who was enjoying a delicious meal in a corner, heard her young master's call and immediately squeezed through the crowd.
But the table is too high; it can't climb up.
Finally, it used all its strength, spread its little wings, and with a whoosh, flew onto the table.
"Coo coo..."
Lin Wanwan grinned.
【hey-hey……】
"Mud~"
She stretched out her chubby little hand and grabbed Tianfeng's chicken neck, giggling incessantly.
Everyone was stunned.
Is this little guy only interested in food?
But it's alive.
When the ministers saw that she had ultimately chosen a chicken, they burst out laughing.
He really is just a child; they're reassured as long as you give them a chicken.
Holding a chicken implies that she'll either eat chickens or raise them in the future.
"Madam Ye, congratulations! Wanwan will never have to worry about food or clothing in the future. This is my greatest wish as a mother."
Ye Lanyin was taken aback.
chicken?
Her precious daughter caught a chicken?
"Thank you, sirs. It seems that Wanwan quite likes to eat."
Ever since those women received gifts from Lin Wanwan at the last banquet, they've viewed Lin Wanwan with a different kind of adoration.
Hearing her husband's gloating words, Madam Wan immediately hit him with a hammer.
"What do you know?"
"A person lives on a bowl of rice, and dies on a pile of dust. You are not allowed to eat tonight."
"In a few days, there will be a divine summoning ceremony. Go and summon the gods. Let's see if you can become an immortal!"
Lord Wan touched his head, his face full of grievance.
"Madam, I'm just happy for her..."
"snort!"
No one noticed that when Lin Wanwan grabbed Tianfeng by the neck, a golden light flashed in Tianfeng's eyes.
Only the Second Prince stood at a distance, clicking his tongue and shaking his head.
It seems this little guy is still as... "mischievous" as ever.
Finally, it was time for the meal preparation. Hua Xin brought out the prepared noodles and snacks to the table.
Ye Lanyin smiled, picked up her chopsticks, and stuffed a noodle into Lin Wanwan's mouth.
Happy birthday, Wanwan!
The little guy reached out and grabbed a chicken leg from the table, stuffing it into his mouth.
【Wanwan can eat by herself, Mommy doesn't need to feed her. Mommy, you've worked so hard.】
Ye Lanyin: ? ? ?
Mother isn't suffering; Mother is just going through the ceremony!
The regent stood behind him, watching his daughter's first birthday celebration, a faint smile playing on his lips.
On the other side...
Zou Wanqing, who is one year older than Lin Wanwan, is also celebrating her second birthday.
This stands in stark contrast to Ping'an Prefecture.
Ever since Lin Shixuan's reputation was ruined by Zou Wanqing last time, he has harbored resentment towards his younger sister.
He sat at the table, silently eating his food.
"Father, our family is in such dire straits now, what should we do?"
Zou Wanqing looked at the table, which was full of vegetarian dishes and not a single meat dish, and felt extremely irritated.
Is this called a birthday celebration?
"Wanqing, today is your birthday, cheer up. Your father will go and buy the land in the next couple of days."
Since the day he was beaten, the Marquis of Zhenbei has been resting at his residence for more than half a month.
