After Uya returned from the palace, Misihan began to ask all sorts of questions. Uya found Misihan's behavior somewhat unbearable, but she could understand it after thinking about it.
The only daughter had a baby, so of course he really wanted to see it. But because of his daughter's high status, he couldn't see his grandson, and you can imagine how upset he was.
At first, Uya was happy to answer her, but in the end she got a little impatient. She kept asking her the same questions over and over again. Uya only knew so much, so it was no wonder she got impatient.
Uya said, "Please don't ask me, Your Highness. Tomorrow is the baby's third-day celebration. You can see for yourself then, so I won't have to explain the details."
Misihan thought about it and realized that made sense.
The third-day celebration was conducted according to the usual standards for a legitimate son, solemn and proper. On the day of the celebration, Mi Sihan saw his grandson. Like any other child, he hadn't fully grown up and didn't look particularly good. But Mi Sihan felt that his grandson was more pleasing to the eye than other children, especially his other grandsons.
How could you not like the child born to your most beloved daughter?
The only thing that made Missham happy was that he couldn't watch it often.
Yinzhen had no intention of establishing a crown prince. The main reason was that the title of crown prince sounded bad, and also because crown princes had always had tragic fates, which he considered unlucky.
Yunrong was in confinement after childbirth and couldn't attend the third-day celebration, but her mother, Uya, did tell her about the ceremony. In short, everything went smoothly.
The main reason is that no one dares to cause trouble at this time. What if they upset the Empress and she whispers in the Emperor's ear?
The postpartum period was really boring. You couldn't be exposed to the wind, you couldn't eat oily or salty food, you couldn't be tired, and there were all sorts of taboos. Just when Yunrong felt like she was about to get moldy, her postpartum period was finally over.
On the day she finished her postpartum confinement, Yunrong gave herself a thorough bath and had a big meal. Since she didn't breastfeed the baby herself, she didn't have to watch what she ate.
After washing and eating, Yunrong had someone bring the child over.
The child hasn't been officially named yet, but he has a nickname: Bobo. It doesn't have any special meaning; it's just that one day when Yunrong saw her son, the word "Bobo" suddenly popped into her head.
Bobo is one month old and no longer looks wrinkled like when he was born. As he grows up, Bobo looks chubby and cute.
Yunrong felt especially happy whenever she saw him, as if she had eaten honey.
Yunrong smiled and hugged Bobo, then said to him, "My little Bobo is turning one month old today, aren't you happy? Little Bobo, you must be good today..."
The full moon celebration, like the third-day celebration, was solemn and grand, perfectly befitting the royal status, but there were no other special features.
The process went very smoothly. The only thing that puzzled Yunrong was why Consort Hui and Consort Rong came together to mock her.
Consort Hui was extremely displeased when she saw Yunrong's radiant appearance after giving birth, but she still managed to put on a smile and said, "Your Majesty, you look so radiant. I didn't have such a good complexion after giving birth. I wonder what your secret is? If you can tell me, my sisters can learn from you."
Consort Hui's words contained a lot of "meaning." The first meaning was that while she had a child, she also had a child, but whether they could be raised to adulthood was another matter.
The second meaning is that with so many people in the palace, there will always be someone more beautiful to replace you as empress and bear children for the emperor.
To be honest, if Yunrong hadn't known that Consort Hui and she didn't get along, she really wouldn't have understood what was going on in those words.
Even though Yunrong knew that Consort Hui might have something in mind, she didn't think that far ahead. Yunrong smiled and said, "Consort Hui looks quite well, so she probably doesn't need my secret. If the other sisters want to know, they can just send someone over to my daily meals. Food nourishes people, that's the principle."
Consort Hui felt that Yunrong was avoiding the important issues.
Consort Hui: "Then I must thank Your Majesty on behalf of all my sisters for your generosity."
Yunrong: "Don't be so polite, we're all family."
Consort Rong said with some emotion, "Seeing the young prince reminds me of my two unfortunate children."
Then, as if remembering something, she said with some annoyance, "Look at my mouth! On Your Majesty's and the young prince's joyous occasion, I misspoke. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
Yunrong understood this time; this was a curse upon her son!
Yunrong said sadly, "Consort Rong is straightforward and outspoken. I don't think she meant it. Speaking of which, I have met the Fourth Prince. Perhaps he will be blessed in his next life! Consort Rong, don't be sad. If you really feel restless, copy a few more scriptures for the Fourth Prince. I think if the Fourth Prince knew that his mother treated him this way, he would feel happy."
Consort Rong was speechless: "Your Majesty is right."
Seeing that Consort Rong was intimidated by the Empress, Consort Hui took her place.
Consort Hui sighed and said, "Your Majesty is right. I should also make sure to copy more scriptures for my unfortunate son. And Prince Chenghu, he was so good to the Third Prince when he was alive. I should do my part in that as well."
Consort Rong: "Yes! When Prince Chenghu was born, the Emperor was so happy. He announced it to the world. It was truly..." Consort Rong stopped halfway through her sentence.
Consort Rong immediately looked at Yunrong in a panic and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I misspoke."
Yunrong knew they were comparing Bobo to Chenghu, but she didn't care. What Yunrong cared about was whether her son could become a decent person, not these extraneous things.
Yunrong: “Consort Rong is right. I heard about this when I was still a princess. Prince Chenghu is indeed adorable, and His Majesty should treat him this way.”
