"Zi Su, set up a table of antique soup in the yard."
Shen Yuyao said with a smile.
"The concubine hasn't seen our antique soup yet, so we must open her eyes."
"Yes, I'll go right away!"
Zi Su smiled and responded to prepare, and Shen Yuyao called Bai Zhi over.
"Baizhi, have you prepared the objects for the little princess's first birthday ceremony?"
"Princess, everything is ready. When the auspicious time comes, I will present it to the young princess."
"The little princess will definitely like it!"
Now in Yuxiu Palace, Xia Xiaoxian is truly loved by everyone.
The eighth day of the first lunar month.
Xia Xiaoxian is loved by everyone and makes flowers bloom wherever she goes.
One year old!
From the twelfth month to the sixth day of the first lunar month, the entire palace was busy.
Due to the frequent various sacrificial ceremonies and state affairs, the Queen finally fell ill again, but this time her condition was not critical. Shen Yuyao had visited her twice with Xiao Xianbao.
On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Shen Yuyao took the Queen's pulse and told her the truth: the Queen needed to rest for a while.
The emperor then issued an edict, exempting all palace ladies and concubines from paying their respects in the morning and evening for half a month, and no one in the palace was allowed to go to Kunning Palace to disturb the empress's rest without an imperial decree.
Therefore, the one-year-old birthday party originally planned to be held for Xia Xiaoxian in the imperial palace was shelved.
But Shen Yuyao didn't want to let Xia Xiaoxian down, so she decided to hold a small birthday ceremony for Xia Xiaoxian in Yuxiu Palace with Zisu, Baizhi, Xu Yunxuan and others.
At the first birthday ceremony, Xia Xiaoxian will also play the "Zhuazhou" game.
During the Daxia Dynasty, both the common people and the palace had the custom of holding the "Zhuazhou" ceremony for one-year-old children.
On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, early in the morning, Shen Yuyao cleaned Xia Xiaoxian up and put on a brand new, beautiful pink flowered jacket with white fox fur trim.
【Hahaha, this little fairy is one year old! 】
[Mother is so nice. Her flowery coat is warm and comfortable.]
[When I grow up, I will give my most beautiful clothes to my mother.]
"Liangqin, hug me..."
"Liangqin, love..."
Shen Yuyao was overjoyed when she heard this. She hugged Xia Xiaoxian and kissed and loved her, which was so warm and cozy.
She personally raised the little fairy baby, so her feelings for him were naturally very deep.
Besides, her life was saved by the little fairy treasure.
Baizhi took out a plum-shaped incense burner with three sticks of incense.
"The princess's auspicious time has arrived..."
Shen Yuyao washed her hands.
"A child is born. Today I make new clothes, bathe him, and decorate him. I pray to God..."
Shen Yuyao burned incense and prayed, wishing the little fairy baby good health and good fortune.
The little fairy also followed suit, clasping his hands together and reciting silently in his heart.
[This little fairy prays to the Heavenly Lord of the Upper Realm, may the Heavenly Emperor bless my mother with peace and health in this life.]
【If there is an afterlife, we will continue our mother-daughter relationship. 】
Shen Yuyao's eyes turned red when she heard this, but her face was full of smiles.
Seeing that the time had arrived, Bai Zhi brought a few palace maids and placed several brocade boxes in the center of the hall. Inside the boxes were study books, Taoist and Buddhist scriptures, gold, silver, and seven treasures, children's toys, scales, rulers, knives, scissors, measuring cups, colorful satin, needlework, onions, garlic, celery, bows, whips, swords, and so on...
Just as it was set up, Xu Yunxuan happened to walk in and put a big braised chicken leg on it.
[There are so many fun things to do... This mortal world is definitely more fun than heaven.]
[I want them all, but my hands are too small! ]
Shen Yuyao smiled slightly and placed her among the brocade boxes.
"Little Princess, choose whatever you like."
"Xiaoxian, show me what you like."
"Little Princess, go get some gold and silver treasures. Money is best!"
Everyone laughed and asked Xia Xiaoxian to catch it.
Xia Xiaoxian was outside the brocade boxes, spinning around in circles, picking up a book and putting it down again; then she picked up a knife and put it down as well...
[Look at Perilla and Angelica's eyes, they're almost falling into it.]
[Books? I can’t read a single book!]
[Small knife? Why would a little immortal need such a childish weapon?]
[Wow, this gold and silver treasure looks delightful, but my hands are too small to hold much...]
[Huh? This thing is good!]
Xia Xiaoxian picked up a small seal, holding it tightly in her left hand, while holding a sheepskin picture in her right hand.
"It seems that our little princess will be a scholar in the future."
"Oh, the little princess doesn't care about money. She will definitely be a female painter in the future."
Shen Yuyao was full of doubts, because her little fairy baby obviously loved money.
Why did you suddenly become so noble?
[To my mother! To my mother!]
"My dear, this!"
Xia Xiaoxian handed the seal and the sheepskin picture in her little hand directly to Shen Yuyao.
She kept mumbling, and her words and heart were all expressing that these were for her mother!
Shen Yuyao smiled slightly and reached out to take it. She was also curious. Something that could make the little fairy baby like it must not be a vulgar thing.
Shen Yuyao took a look and saw that it was a seal made of Hetian mutton-fat white jade, about three centimeters square and weighing about six cents and six.
The seal is made of pure, flawless mutton-fat jade, and the inscription, inscribed in Sanskrit, is neat and elegant, with natural and skillful carving. The seal knob features a crouching tiger, depicting a ferocious and agile figure.
Shen Yuyao knew that this must be extremely valuable. Ordinary people did not know how to identify it and just treated it as an ordinary plaything. It was fate that someone in the mansion bought it back by chance to make a toy for the little fairy.
"Shiso, please put this seal in a box for me."
Zi Su thought that the princess must want to keep a souvenir.
[My mother probably doesn't recognize me, hehe.]
[And this picture, I don't think she recognizes it either.]
"Liangqin, and..."
Xia Xiaoxian also handed the sheepskin painting in her hand to Shen Yuyao.
Shen Yuyao unfolded the parchment and saw that it was covered with many strange animals, various jewelry patterns, and many symbols that looked like words. It looked like a map, but also like a picture from an exotic land.
Shen Yuyao likes this picture very much and always feels that it is full of a mysterious power.
"Isn't this the legendary world treasure map from the Age of Exploration?"
Shen Yuyao was just about to come out when Xu Yunxuan next to her exclaimed!
"This is longitude, this is latitude....this is the South Pole!"
"Princess, look, there are also signs here showing all kinds of rare and exotic animals that live in Antarctica!"
“This can only be made after looking down from a high altitude!”
"Could it be that some of the civilizations in this book have evolved to the point where they can travel into space?"
"Amazing... This must be a treasure map!"
Shen Yuyao stared at Xu Yunxuan's mouth. She could hear every word that came out of it, but she had no idea why they were put together.
But Shen Yuyao understood the last three words.
Treasure map!
Xu Yunxuan looked at Shen Yuyao's face full of confusion and surprise, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Princess, maybe you don't understand what I'm saying."
"But it's a treasure map, no doubt about it."
"Give me time to study it carefully. If I dig around, I'll find more wealth than I can spend in several lifetimes!"
"Great! We're rich!"
