Madam Gao forced a smile and said, "That's a real pity, sister. I spent several days working on that quilt, hoping that your child could use it."
Moved, Madam Su took Madam Gao's hand and said, "Thank you, sister. Once the quilt is completely dry, I will make sure they can use it."
Mr. Gao nodded.
The Fourth Prince's bestowal of a title and name followed closely behind to Hongli's residence.
When Mingyu learned that the Fourth Master had given the child a name so quickly, she couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
However, although Hongli would visit Madam Su and the children every day, he mostly stayed in the main courtyard. He would only visit Madam Gao occasionally, out of consideration for her helpfulness in managing the household affairs.
Xueying still barely sees Hongli. However, he will definitely be seen at the child's third-day celebration.
The day of Yongzhang's third-day celebration arrived. The Fourth Prince, accompanied by Lanqin, disguised themselves and left the palace to attend Yongzhang's third-day celebration at Hongli's residence.
Mingyu had naturally prepared the things for the baby's third-day celebration long ago.
The third-day-old ceremony was held in the front courtyard. Not many people were invited; only the Fourth Prince and Lanqin, Hongli's two older sisters, Hongzhou, and his wife were present. Qiushui Pavilion was simply too small to accommodate so many people.
Su was still weak, and she was supported by several maids, while Lanqin and the Fourth Prince remained seated high in front. Hongli, Mingyu, and Xueying served on either side, along with Gao and others.
Looking at Yongzhang's chubby and fair appearance, Lanqin couldn't help but think of how Hongli looked when he was celebrating his third birthday.
“Hongli, seeing Yongzhang reminds me of your third-day celebration, doesn’t it, Your Majesty!” Lanqin said with emotion.
“Yes, Yongzhang looks a lot like Hongli when he was a child,” the Fourth Prince said.
Mingyu, who was standing to the side, could easily guess what she was thinking when she heard these words.
"Mother, Father, what about when we celebrate our third-day birthday?" Ushiha teased.
"Hmm, you really exhausted me when you were bathing her on her third day." Lanqin rolled her eyes at the eldest princess and waved to her son, the little prince, Bullin.
Ushikha's child is already three years old, while Bechuk's child is still in his arms.
After the third-day-after-birth ceremony, Hongli had already ordered the kitchen to prepare a feast to entertain everyone.
The feast was set up in the backyard of the front yard, and because of the cold weather, several braziers were lit and placed around the courtyard.
Since everyone was family and there were no outsiders, there was no distinction between men and women; everyone sat together at two tables.
Su was holding the child, so Lanqin called her to sit down next to her.
Seeing Yongzhang's adorable appearance, Fourth Master asked Madam Su to let him hold the child himself.
"This is the first time His Majesty has ever taken the initiative to hold the child. Yongzhang is very fortunate," Lanqin said with a smile.
"Yes, I think this lad is a lucky one," Fourth Master said.
Everyone was infected by this harmonious atmosphere, except for Mingyu and Gaoshi, who felt uncomfortable. One was afraid that Hongli's gaze would be drawn to Sushi and her child, and the other was afraid that Sushi would be promoted to the rank of concubine because of this.
"Father, Mother, Sister Su gave birth to Yongzhang for Prince, and I think she deserves a promotion," Xueying suddenly said.
Lanqin understood Xueying's meaning, which was to promote Su Shi to the rank of secondary consort.
Hongli was startled by Xueying's words and stared at her intently, wondering what she was up to now.
Mingyu was even more furious that she had bypassed her and spoken up for the Su family in this situation.
