I met Shen Yiyi at the fifth prince’s birthday banquet.
Although the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty rose to power from a commoner, he had many concubines and offspring in the palace.
There are now nearly 20 princes, among whom nine older princes have been granted fiefdoms.
After their wedding, the princes who were granted fiefdoms had to go to their fiefdoms to take up their posts and were not allowed to return to the capital without an imperial edict.
The Crown Prince, the Third Prince, and the Fourth Prince are the biological children of the current Empress and are legitimate sons.
The second prince and the sixth prince were born to Consort Sun.
The fifth and ninth princes were born to Concubine Li Shufei.
The seventh prince was born to Concubine Guo Ning.
The eighth prince was born to Concubine Yang.
At this time, among the nine princes who had been granted fiefdoms in the capital, only the fifth prince was still unmarried and still lived with his mother in Changchun Palace.
Therefore, the fifth prince’s birthday banquet this year was still held in Changchun Palace.
Preparations for the Changchun Palace began five days ago. The Imperial Astronomical Observatory said that the fifth prince's birthday banquet could bring good luck and blessings to the empress who had just recovered from her illness.
Even the current emperor personally takes care of everything and ensures that it is completed successfully.
The Concubine Shu also invited all the noble ladies of marriageable age from the families of officials in the court. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was looking for a future princess for the Fifth Prince.
Shen Yuyao is the lucky star of the Queen in the palace today, and was also one of the first princesses to receive the invitation.
She decided to bring the little fairy baby in front of all the noble ladies, hoping that she could find one for her fourth brother.
It would also be a good idea to write a letter to the Duke so that his wife would no longer worry about it.
Now her mother's family's worries are Shen Yuyao's worries!
On the day of King Qi’s birthday banquet.
Early in the morning, Shen Yuyao dressed up the little fairy baby carefully.
Xia Xiaoxian was already a ten-month-old baby at this time, with a face like a full moon, big eyes that were becoming brighter and brighter, fair and delicate skin, and a rosy little mouth that often mumbled, and occasionally one could hear "all...all..."
Xu Yunxuan often teased Xia Xiaoxian, "Your father doesn't seem to love you that much, yet you still call him dad first!"
Shen Yuyao always smiled, but the little fairy baby never failed to call her mother in his heart.
Others just don’t know!
Shen Yuyao dressed the little fairy in a red jacket with short sleeves and a pink long skirt, and covered it with a small vest with a white fox fur edge.
Her sparse hair was tied into a small bun, and she wore a tiger-head hat, which was really cute.
Shen Yuyao dressed up the little fairy baby, stepped back and took a look, hmm!
satisfy!
only...
The only regret is that Xiao Xianbao doesn’t have much hair, and it’s not black enough. Some of his hair is even golden.
I think it was because a lot of money was spent on treating the Empress.
Shen Yuyao narrowed her eyes and said, "Hmm!"
We need to research and find out what methods can be used to make hair black and shiny?
[Beautiful and adorable mother...]
[Can you please not wear this tiger-head hat?]
[That's too childish.]
Xia Xiaoxian always likes to pull the tiger-head hat on her head with her chubby little hands.
I totally don't understand this kind of tiger-head hat. Is it suitable for a fairy to wear on her head?
"Little fairy, be good, the weather is getting cold."
Shen Yuyao kept adjusting the tiger-head hat for the little fairy, then turned around and asked Xu Yunxuan softly.
"Yunxuan, have all our gifts been delivered today?"
Xu Yunxuan smiled widely and nodded repeatedly, "Princess, they were delivered early this morning. They were purchased at great expense outside the palace the other day."
"Yes, the Fifth Prince has been close to my Fourth Brother since they were young, so naturally he has to give me the best gift."
Shen Yuyao nodded with satisfaction.
The Jingrentang left by the Duke's wife to Shen Yuyao, the Baoyuanhao left by Prince Ning, and the Xu's bank and business left by Xu Yunxuan's family, are now thriving under Shen Yuyao's careful management.
In particular, Jingrentang's "Ice Skin Beauty Cream" and "Peach Rejuvenating Pills" became popular among the noble ladies in the capital. Now, owning these two "Jingrentang" products has become a symbol of taste and status for the noble ladies of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Now, Princess Ning, Shen Yuyao, controls wealth that rivals that of a country.
But she still insisted on making money only from the rich, and then donated the huge wealth she earned to the academies and temples of the Great Xia Dynasty under various names.
The most low-key invisible rich man and the most mysterious philanthropist in the Great Xia Dynasty is none other than Shen Yuyao!
[The richest woman in Daxia must be my mother.]
[Mother, oh mother, you are so awesome! ]
[Xilin Academy, Zhulu Academy, Yueyang Academy, Songlin Academy... These are the most famous academies in Daxia. Who would have known that they were funded by my mother?]
[The porridge stalls set up in various temples, big and small, were also donated by the Queen Mother!]
[As expected, gold, silver, and treasures are extremely useful. Being able to help so many ordinary people at once is truly a great deed!]
Shen Yuyao listened to the little fairy's flattery, every word was true and every word was joyful!
Daxia, Changchun Palace.
When Shen Yuyao and Xu Yunxuan walked into Changchun Palace, many guests had already arrived.
"These are the two princesses of Prince Ning's Mansion. They are truly as beautiful as fairies."
"The little doll at the back is the Little Fairy Princess. She's full of fairy spirit at first glance."
The noble ladies who were chatting and admiring flowers in the palace began to whisper to each other when they saw these people come in.
"Have you heard? Princess Ning used a golden needle to save the Empress a few days ago."
"Jingrentang's beauty cream is truly amazing. Look at these two princesses. They don't even look like women who have given birth!"
"I still prefer the fairy-like little princess. Maybe hugging her will lead to a happy marriage."
"I'm going too..."
For a moment, all the noble ladies in Changchun Palace vied to hug Xia Xiaoxian.
There were even noble ladies who hung all their gold and silver jewelry on Xia Xiaoxian, and later other noble ladies who saw her imitated her.
After Xia Xiaoxian was hugged by everyone in turn, her wrists, neck, and even ankles were covered with gold and silver jewelry.
[Do you think I'm a turtle in a wishing well?]
[Are your brains not working well, ladies? ]
【Isn’t it true that gold and silver are also very heavy?】
[Forget it, looking at my mother's charity work...]
Xu Yunxuan's eyes widened.
Shen Yuyao just found it funny when she heard it.
At this time, the eunuch at the palace gate hailed, "The Queen has arrived!"
"Concubine Sun has arrived!"
......
Concubine Li Shu of Changchun Palace hurriedly brought a group of noble ladies and princesses to bow and salute.
The palace ladies, maids, eunuchs and servants all knelt on the ground.
It has been a long time since the Empress left her Kunning Palace. Today, the Fifth Prince and Concubine Li were extremely happy that she could move to Changchun Palace.
"Long live the Queen."
"May the Empress be blessed with good health."
"Long live the Queen Mother."
Shen Yuyao looked up and saw the Queen slowly walking into Changchun Palace.
Behind him were a group of concubines, including Concubine Sun, Concubine Guo Ning, and Concubine Yang Xian...
Suddenly, Shen Yuyao saw a very familiar figure!
Ling Xiangxiang!
Looking back again, Xu Yunxuan also saw Ling Xiangxiang.
And Ling Xiangxiang should have also seen the three of them.
But she acted as if she didn't know Shen Yuyao at all.
