Chapter 495 Father
In the blink of an eye, the baby's full moon came, and the palace held a princess banquet and a full moon wine party.
Chen Wan got up early in the morning and took a bath and smoked incense. After breakfast, she changed into the princess clothes that the palace had sent two days earlier.
As the daughter of Duke Dingguo and the Crown Prince's Consort of Prince Jingbei's Mansion, Chen Wan's ordinary attire is luxurious enough, but it cannot be compared with the princess's dress, which is so luxurious and ostentatious that it can blind people's eyes.
The palace sent not only the princess's dress, but also the matching dress for the prince consort.
But Xie Jingyu didn't wear it, and Shen Wan saw it and said, "Why don't you change into a brocade robe?"
“It’s too ostentatious.”
"Today is your princess banquet and your child's full moon banquet. It doesn't matter what your husband wears."
Chen Wan just thought that he was reluctant to become a prince consort. Besides, Xie Jingyu's face was eye-catching enough. The brocade robe he wore was similar in color to the one sent from the palace, but it didn't have so many auspicious cloud patterns embroidered with gold and silver threads, making him look more low-key and restrained.
"Let's go."
Xie Jingyu stretched out his hand, Shen Wan handed it over, and the two of them went out.
The wet nurse followed behind with the child in her arms, and behind them came the coral and silver bracelets.
The two maids also wore new clothes. After all, they were the princess's personal maids and could not let down the status of the prince and his wife.
Arriving at the gate, Xie Jingyu helped Chen pull the carriage, and then -
Get on the horse.
Well, Shen Wan wanted to take the child in a carriage, and there was no place for him in the carriage, so he had to ride a horse.
Xie Jingyu led the way in front, and the carriage headed towards the palace. He was afraid of bumping the children, so the carriage did not move fast.
As soon as he arrived at the palace gate, he ran into the Prince of Song, the Prince of Wucheng Marquis and others.
The Duke of Song rode on his horse and said, "Congratulations, Prince Xie, on your promotion to Prince Consort. You can now live off him."
Xie Jingyu remained silent. Over there, Prince Yuzhang and Chu Yang rode over on horseback. Prince Yuzhang stroked the horse's fur and smiled ostentatiously, "The cook at Duke Song's mansion isn't very good. Go back and ask your cook to add an extra bowl of water when cooking. Forget soft rice; it can even turn into porridge."
When enemies meet, they are especially jealous of each other.
The Prince of Song looked at Prince Yuzhang with an unfriendly look, "Does Prince Yuzhang not understand what people are saying?!"
Prince Yuzhang laughed and said, "Your father, Duke Song, and the Left Prime Minister were unable to give Brother Jing the title of Prince Consort at the morning court. Do you think you can?"
"I advise you to be careful with your words. Be careful not to anger my cousin. She has asked the emperor to withdraw the imperial decree that made her a princess. Let's see if the emperor will punish you."
A naked threat.
The expression on the Prince of Song's face changed again and again, but he didn't dare to say anything.
Now all the civil and military officials in the court knew that the Crown Prince Consort of Prince Jingbei was the Emperor's princess, the twin sister of Prince Ling, who was born of the same mother. The Empress Dowager had been asking for divination for half a year, and when the six-month period was up, she could not wait to issue an imperial decree to confer the title of princess. If Shen Wan really wanted to ask the Emperor to revoke the imperial decree so that Xie Jingyu could hold military power instead of becoming a son-in-law, he would never leave the palace today.
The Prince of Song held the reins tightly and gave the horse a final push to enter the palace.
Prince Yuzhang rode his horse around Xie Jingyu and said, "I want to see what you look like in your royal consort's uniform. The palace hasn't prepared anything for you?"
Xie Jingyu said, "I just didn't wear it."
As they were talking, they entered the palace gate. Eunuch Xiao Xizi from the imperial study was waiting there. The emperor wanted to see his two little grandsons, so Xie Jingyu and Shen Wan did not go to the horse farm, but took a carriage directly to the place where the imperial sedan chair was parked not far from the imperial study.
Imperial study.
The emperor patiently reviewed the memorials.
He closed one, put it down, and was about to pick up another when the eunuch hurried in and said, "Your Majesty, Princess Qingning and her husband are here..."
"Let them in."
The emperor decisively put down the memorial he had picked up.
The emperor couldn't even remember how many months he hadn't seen his daughter. He also had two little grandsons, who said that their noses and mouths looked like Prince Ling. Doesn't that mean they look like their grandfather, him?
Chen Wan and Xie Jingyu walked to the outside of the imperial study. The young eunuch had just finished reporting and came out. He walked straight in without stopping.
Shen Wan had been to the Imperial Study Room many times and had accompanied the Emperor for meals many times, but after knowing that the Emperor was her biological father, her mood when she entered the Imperial Study Room again was a little different.
Shen Wan and Xie Jingyu stepped forward and saluted the emperor, "Your Majesty—"
The emperor asked, "Why are you still calling me so strangely?"
"Call me Father."
Shen Wan then bowed again, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to your father."
The emperor has been waiting for the call "Father" for so many years, and he is in such a good mood.
But at the moment, he couldn't take care of his daughter, his eyes were full of his two little grandsons.
The child happened to be awake, and the emperor's heart melted when he saw his child's delicate and delicate appearance.
It really looks like Prince Ling.
The emperor has always regretted that his two children did not grow up by his side. Although he watched Chen Wan grow up, he actually only saw them a few times a year. Now that he sees the two children, he thinks Huai Jin and Wan'er looked like this when they were young.
The emperor stretched out his hand. The wet nurse was stunned for a moment, then quickly handed the child to the emperor.
Eunuch An was standing by, worried that the emperor would be clumsy and drop the child. Although the emperor had many princes and princesses, in Eunuch An's memory, the emperor seemed to have never held a child this big.
"Grandpa holds me."
When Prince Ling walked in, he saw his father sitting on the couch holding the child.
But before the dragon's buttocks collapsed, the emperor froze there, as if he was fixed in place.
The emperor looked up at Prince Ling, who looked confused. It was the wet nurse who reacted first, "Did the child urinate?"
Only then did Shen Wan and Xie Jingyu notice the urine stain on the emperor's bright yellow dragon robe.
Shen Wan, “…”
Xie Jingyu, “…”
son.
Well done!
The wet nurse hurried forward and held the child.
Eunuch An looked at the emperor and then at Prince Ling. God knows how much effort he used to hold back his laughter.
Last time, Prince Ling came to the imperial study and told the emperor that his nephew had urinated on him, which made the emperor very happy.
Unexpectedly, the child was not only a surprise for Prince Ling, but also prepared for the emperor.
The emperor went to change into the dragon robe. As soon as he left, Xiao Huaijin rubbed his cheeks and was overjoyed. He was no longer afraid of his father.
A quarter of an hour later, the emperor came back. He didn't dare to hug Mo'er, but Ran'er's eyebrows were as serious as before, and the emperor couldn't help but reach out his hand.
The Emperor wanted to hold the child, and the nurse had no courage to refuse. However, there was worry in the nurse's eyes, afraid that the little girl would pee on the Emperor...
Facts told the nanny that her worries were not unnecessary.
The emperor was teasing Ran'er, but as he was teasing her, he suddenly looked like he was struck by lightning.
Nothing else.
Ran'er also peed on him.
The emperor's mouth and eyes twitched, "You two little guys just love to pee on your grandfather so much?"
Xiao Huaijin's mouth was so wide that it almost reached his ears.
The emperor went to change his clothes again.
When he came back, the emperor didn't dare to reach out again. The palace banquet was about to begin. If he peed on himself again, his dragon robe would not be able to withstand it.
The emperor looked at Xie Jingyu and asked, "Why don't you wear the royal concubine's uniform that the palace prepared for you?"
Xie Jingyu said, "It's too ostentatious. I'm not used to it..."
The emperor said, "You'll get used to it after wearing it a few times."
"Go change."
All the ladies and young masters from wealthy families who came to the palace for a banquet would bring spare clothes. Xie Jingyu didn't wear them, but he didn't dare not bring any, just in case.
Xie Jingyu went down quietly to change into his brocade robe.
He changed into the brocade robe very quickly, and only changed into the imperial concubine's clothes.
The emperor frowned, held his forehead, and said, "If you change back, I will allow you to never wear the imperial concubine's uniform again."
How ostentatious is it?
Even though Shen Wan was used to seeing this face, she was still so stunned that she couldn't recover.
If I wear this to a banquet, wouldn't it just attract bees and butterflies?
The emperor did not want the officials to say that he, as a father-in-law, treated his son-in-law badly, but as a father, he could not cause trouble for his daughter.
