"Try this one."
"Try this one too."
As soon as Ying Ziyu opened her eyes, she saw Consort Shu and Xiangqin comparing clothes for her.
[With so many clothes, did Mom find money on the street?]
Seeing that the little one was awake, Consort Shu smiled gently, "Yu'er is awake. Come here, Mother will make you the most handsome boy today!"
Consort Shu picked up the little one and instructed, "Try on a few more."
Xiangqin picked up clothes of various colors and started comparing them one by one. Her expression was quite complicated. "What should we do? It seems like the young master looks good in everything."
Consort Shu's gaze softened. "That may be true, but today is Yu'er's full moon celebration, so she should wear her most beautiful clothes."
After some searching, a red robe was finally chosen, which looked very festive on the little guy's round face.
Like a lucky charm.
The little guy blinked his big eyes.
[Full moon? Are there any gifts?]
At the full moon banquet, the little one sat in Consort Shu's arms, his eyes wide open.
Pork belly?!
Roasted chicken leg?!
Spiced pig's trotters?!
It smells so good!
Seeing the little one's mouth practically watering, Consort Shu smiled and asked, "Want some?"
The little guy nodded, looking at Consort Shu with anticipation.
"Please give me some meat, Mom. I haven't had any meat for a month."
Consort Shu shook her head, "Yu'er is too young to eat."
"But don't be too sad, your mother will eat it for you."
"Then I'll tell you if it smells good or not."
【。 。 。 。】
[It's even more painful now.]
"His Majesty has arrived!"
A loud voice rang out, and Ying Zheng Feng Huo walked into the hall, followed by a graceful woman dressed in a white orchid dress.
"His Majesty has arrived?!"
Consort Shu wanted to stand up and curtsy, but Ying Zheng, who had just entered, stopped her, saying, "No need for formalities! You're still holding Yu'er!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Consort Shu sat back down.
The woman beside Ying Zheng curtsied, "Greetings, elder sister."
Consort Shu recognized her; she was Consort Liang.
Although they were both concubines, the two usually had almost no interaction. Consort Shu had not expected her to come today.
"You're too kind, sister," Consort Shu replied.
Ying Zheng explained, "I was discussing the matter of the sixth prince with Consort Liang, and I didn't want to miss Yu'er's full moon celebration, so I brought her along."
Consort Shu smiled faintly, "That's perfect, a full moon celebration should always be lively."
Ying Zheng sat with Consort Shu, while Consort Liang sat to Ying Zheng's right.
He looked at the little one, "Yu'er, have you missed your father?"
The little one stretched out his arms, making "ee-ya" sounds, his eyes sparkling.
I want to! I really want to!
Ying Zheng was overjoyed.
The boy still cares about me; it wasn't for nothing that I stayed up all night for this full moon celebration.
[With Dad gone, no one's giving me gold anymore!]
Consort Shu: ...
Fortunately, His Majesty cannot hear.
Ying Zheng: ...
Regardless, Yu'er has me in her heart.
Otherwise, why would he only want me to give him gold and not let anyone else give it to him?
Ying Zheng looked at Consort Shu, "You still have to greet guests later, right? It's not convenient for you to hold Yu'er, shall I take care of her for you?"
Consort Shu smiled gracefully, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
As she handed the little one over, Consort Shu's eyes flickered slightly.
If you want to hold your son, just say so.
Consort Liang's eyes flickered slightly as she watched this scene.
How could the Nineteenth Prince be so favored by His Majesty?
His Majesty not only attended the full moon celebration in person, but also seemed to adore him.
In contrast, her own son, the sixth prince, could only spend his days in the cold, deep palace.
Consort Liang looked sorrowful.
How could the lives of two princes be so different?
Consort Liang couldn't help but mutter, "Babies are the most annoying thing. I wonder what His Majesty likes about them?"
Taking the little dumpling, Ying Zheng's face softened slightly. "Yu'er is getting more and more beautiful."
He is indeed my son.
The little guy blinked his big eyes and looked at him.
Does seeing how good-looking I am remind you of anything?
Ying Zheng, familiar with the process, took out a luminous pearl from his robes. "Come here, Yu'er, this is your father's gift for your one-month celebration."
The expressions on everyone's faces changed slightly.
A luminous pearl?
His Majesty has prepared such a precious treasure?
This thing is extremely rare. Just having it by your side can calm your mind and promote longevity.
Legend has it that only one of these pearls can be formed every thousand years, making it extremely precious.
Such a treasure was so precious that everyone could only look on with envy.
The little guy looked at the luminous pearl, but didn't seem very excited.
[Not gold?]
Well, it looks like it's still worth some money, I'll keep it.
Ying Zheng was speechless.
This is worth much more than gold.
[I've received the full moon gift, but what about the gift for our twenty-fifth meeting?]
The little guy looked at Ying Zheng with anticipation.
Ying Zheng: ?
Do we have to calculate this separately?
Being a dad is so hard.
Seeing that everyone had taken their seats, Consort Shu then spoke, "Thank you all for coming to Yu'er's full moon celebration. Now that everyone is here, please enjoy your meal and drinks."
The banquet began, and the hall was filled with a festive atmosphere. Everyone ate, drank, and chatted in a harmonious manner.
The little guy watched as pieces of meat swept past his eyes and went into Ying Zheng's mouth, and tears almost welled up in his eyes.
Although he was a great being in his previous life, he was born as an infant in this life. His physical body and consciousness were assimilated, so he could not control his nature and his behavior was no different from that of an infant.
[Give me a piece of meat.]
Seeing the little guy's longing look, Ying Zheng picked up a piece of pork belly. "Want some?"
The little guy nodded vigorously.
"Just think about it."
