Because the eldest princess attended school in the front courtyard every day, although she no longer frequently came to the east courtyard to play with the second princess, their relationship did not deteriorate to the point where they would not recognize each other when they met.
The two little girls sitting together can still have things to talk about.
If the eldest princess said something that the second princess disagreed with, the little girl wouldn't argue back; she would just pout and stay quiet for a while.
After the Double Ninth Festival, the eldest princess will soon be four years old.
Li Chenjiao had also prepared a birthday gift. This year, she prepared a dress made with fabric bestowed by the Fourth Prince and sewing services. The pattern on it was chosen by Li Chenjiao.
The color chosen was a bright, pale yellow. The eldest princess has fair skin and looks beautiful in it.
The sewing room knows your measurements, so there's no need to worry about them being too big or too small.
As usual, the princes followed the Fourth Prince to the Baohe Hall, while Li Chenjiao followed behind the Fujin, leading the Second Princess towards the Yonghe Palace.
Originally, everyone thought it was just a simple Double Ninth Festival, but the Emperor surprised them first.
However, the concubines and other women in the inner palace were naturally unaware of this at the time.
It was originally Yarjianga, who inherited the title, who stepped forward to offer a toast, but then it was His Majesty who became sentimental.
"I remember when you were first born, your father doted on you very much. Even your name was chosen by me..."
Even the Fourth Master didn't know about this matter.
However, the Fourth Prince remembered something else: Yarjiang'a's current mother was not his biological mother, but rather the second wife of the late Yabu...
What does Father Emperor mean by this?
Before the Fourth Prince could delve into the deeper meaning, the Emperor spoke again.
“Your sons have all grown up…”
Yes, the eldest, second, and third princes in the Fourth Prince's mansion have all reached the age where they can be named.
At this moment, His Majesty remembered it because of Yarjiang's toasting incident.
There are currently no princes of marriageable age in the Prince Zhi's residence. Normally, princes should be named only after they have reached the appropriate age, otherwise it would be considered to bring bad luck to them.
“Baoqing, your wife risked her life to give birth to the Second Prince, but your father has never seen him… Bring the child another day. Your wife has done a great service, and your father will bestow that credit upon the child, Hongyu…”
Upon hearing this, Prince Zhi nearly dropped his wine cup, seemingly caught off guard.
Liang Jiugong reminded him, "Prince Zhi, why don't you thank the Emperor..."
The last prince to be given a name at birth was Prince Hongxi of Yuqing Palace.
The Third Prince's household also has several princes of marriageable age. The Second Prince, born to the primary consort Dong E, is already three years old. The Third Prince, born to Consort Zhao Jia, and the Fourth Prince, born to a concubine, are all of marriageable age. There is also a younger prince.
The Emperor named them Hongsheng, Hongxi, and Hongjing respectively.
All of these were auspicious omens with bright connotations, and Third Master couldn't stop smiling.
The three princes in the Fourth Prince's mansion were also given names.
The eldest prince Hongming, the second prince Honghui, and the third prince Hongyun.
The eldest prince in the Fifth Prince's mansion was born to Consort Liu Jia. He was older and was given the name Hongsheng two years ago. At this time, there was only one prince of marriageable age, the second prince Hongzhi, born to Consort Guarjia, who had only recently been made a consort.
The eldest and second princes of the Seventh Prince's household were also given the names Hongshu and Hongzhuo, respectively. They were both born to Consort Nara.
Later, the Eighth Prince, Ninth Prince, and other princes either did not make any moves or their sons were too young, so His Majesty did not bestow any more names upon them.
However, the fact that each family's children received a name was undoubtedly a great joyous occasion.
As for the deeper meaning behind these bestowed names, people will naturally speculate, but today the one attracting the most attention is naturally Prince Zhi.
The Fourth Prince was quite happy, as he no longer needed to call his sons "eldest prince" or "second prince," since his sons also had names bestowed by their father, the Emperor.
The only problem is that the Fourth Prince is a bit young; it will be another two years before the Emperor bestows a name upon him…
But today is a day of joy for the princes ahead.
When the princess heard the news upon leaving the palace, she was naturally overjoyed.
Although the Second Prince was still by the Fourth Prince's side, the Princess Consort couldn't help but feel excited.
“Honghui, Hui means the rising sun, referring to the brilliance of sunrise... Isn’t our Second Prince just like the brilliance of the rising sun?”
In the wife's heart, the name Hui was far better than names like Ming or Yun...
Her second son was the legitimate heir...
