Chapter 9 Stealing Yuan Baobao's limelight!
"The Emperor said that this can be up to the princess. But if you feed the baby yourself, you have to pay attention to the diet during the confinement period. Children's stomachs are weak, and you have to avoid many things."
Liu Jiaojiao nodded: "Mammy, I know."
Yuan Baobao has been out watching the excitement for a long time, and now she is hungry.
[Hungry, so hungry...]
When Liu Jiaojiao heard her daughter's words, she hurriedly picked her up and lifted her clothes.
Yuan Baobao looked at the mountain that suddenly appeared in front of her, her mouth tightly closed.
She... is not a real baby, she doesn't want to drink milk.
But... it seems to smell really good.
When the granary was delivered, she opened her mouth shamelessly and ate it with a gulp. Forget it, just eat a bite first, and definitely not eat tomorrow!
...
Prince Yi knelt for a long time. After Liu Fengyao was beaten with ten boards, she was helped back by two maids.
"Brother Yi, I'm sorry. It's all Yaoyao's fault. It was Yaoyao who implicated you."
Prince Yi still had a paralyzed face: "You go back first!"
"But, the emperor has left, brother Yi, or you also..."
"Go back!" Prince Yi said unhappily.
Liu Fengyao hesitated for a moment, and Qiulan Qiuju hurriedly persuaded:
"Concubine, your health is urgent, you should go back first, otherwise the prince will be worried."
"You go back first!" Prince Yi said again.
Liu Fengyao reluctantly returned to her room.
She endured the pain in her buttocks and lay on the bed. Two maids helped her take off her clothes. Although there was no bleeding from the ten boards, her buttocks were red and swollen.
The maid carefully applied medicine to her, but she still grimaced in pain. She
wanted to hit and scold them, but she thought of Prince Yi kneeling outside the door, so she endured it.
...
After Nanny Li and Nanny Qin came, Prince Yi never entered the yard again, nor did he see Yuan Baobao.
The two maids did not allow him to do so, and said it was the emperor's intention.
Yuan Baobao ate and slept, and was drowsy most of the time. It was estimated that she exerted too much force on the first day of birth, and when she woke up, she was already a full month old.
Early in the morning, Liu Jiaojiao personally put on her a bright yellow skirt she made by herself. She
wore a bright yellow hat with a small phoenix embroidery on her head.
Yuan Baobao has been well taken care of in the past month. She has become a white and plump little baby, and looks even prettier than when she was just born.
"Oh, our little princess is so beautiful!" Lu Luo exclaimed in admiration.
"That's right, this is the first time I've seen such a beautiful and delicate little baby?" Lu Yi also praised.
"You two are really good with your mouths."
Liu Jiaojiao's smile froze. She has been worried for the past month.
Since she heard her daughter's voice on the day she was born, her daughter has said nothing.
If she hadn't seen her daughter wake up several times a day, eat and sleep well, she would have been worried.
She also consulted Doctor Li, who said that the little princess is growing up very well.
But she couldn't hear her daughter's voice, so she felt uneasy.
[Oh, is it a full month already? 】
【It turns out that I am not dead yet. It seems that I am still quite alive. 】
【Mom is so beautiful, but her face is a little pale. 】 Yuan Baobao looked straight at Liu Jiaojiao, very satisfied.
【Mom is not ugly, and Dad is also beautiful. The baby will definitely be beautiful when she grows up. 】
Liu Jiaojiao suddenly heard Yuan Baobao's voice and was so excited that she almost cried. She hugged her daughter in her arms.
"Baby."
Yuan Baobao... What happened to mother?
【Oh, what happened when I fell asleep? Is my name still Baobao? 】 Yuan Baobao was very surprised.
In the original book, she was just an unborn cannon fodder, and she definitely didn't deserve a name.
"Baby, do you like this name? Mom likes it very much. How about using it as your nickname?"
Liu Jiaojiao asked with a smile.
[Okay, okay, I want to be called this too.]
Liu Jiaojiao... She really wanted to tell her daughter, you are the only princess, your full name is Yuan Baobao? Or forget it?
[Oh, what kind of princess am I? Princess Yuanbao?] Yuan Baobao wanted to know more, but unfortunately she couldn't ask, so she could only listen to the conversation around her.
"Baobao is the Princess Mingzhu that the emperor said."
Yuan Baobao... No, it's better to be Princess Yuanbao?
Soon it was time, and Liu Jiaojiao was about to take the child out, and the emperor rushed over again.
"Where is my darling baby? Come here, let the emperor hold her!"
Liu Jiaojiao hesitated for a moment: "Father, this is inappropriate, isn't it?"
Not to mention the grandchildren, even the sons, few have been held by the emperor.
Not to mention the full-month banquet? What a great honor it is for the emperor to hold her out personally?
If her daughter has this honor, those people outside don't even know about it, how can they envy and be jealous of her daughter?
"What's inappropriate? My words are the imperial edict!"
The emperor picked up Yuan Baobao domineeringly: "My darling granddaughter, today is your full-month banquet. I gave you a nice name, Yuan Mingzhu, and you will be the apple of my eye in the future!"
The emperor said in a gentle tone.
Yuan Baobao stretched out her little hand, Mingzhu?
[No... Grandpa, don't call me Mingzhu. I want to call me Baobao. Yuanbaobao, that sounds good.]
The emperor's mouth twitched. This name is simple enough.
When people talk about it in the future, they will know that it was the Grandpa who gave it to me. I don't know how they will complain about themselves?
"Baobao is a nickname, Mingzhu is a full name, both are nice."
The emperor discussed carefully, but Yuan Baobao hummed.
[No, I want to call her Baobao, Yuan Baobao, or Yuanbao, how nice it sounds, and it also brings fortune?]
The emperor... can't communicate with the baby, but, isn't it just a name? Let her be Baobao, and she can change it when she grows up and becomes sensible.
"Then the title is Mingzhu, and it can't be changed."
The little girl didn't protest. Liu Jiaojiao on the side was stunned, her little hands clenched tightly.
She seemed to know something big.
Did the emperor hear what his daughter said just now? But...
why wasn't the emperor surprised?
There were some things she didn't dare to ask, so she could only hold them in her heart.
The emperor didn't ask her opinion, and just carried Yuan Baobao away. Liu Jiaojiao had no choice but to follow closely.
…
Liu Fengyao knew that today was the baby’s full-month banquet. It had only been a few days since her son Yue’er’s full-month banquet, but there were not many people who came at that time.
They were just relatives from both sides, and they just set up a few tables at home.
But Liu Jiaojiao’s daughter was just a little girl, a money-loser, so the mansion started to prepare four or five days in advance.
It was the nanny sent by the emperor who did it personally.
The money was spent like water.
She had tried to control it, but Nanny Li just said,
“Then I will go to Prince Yi. If Prince Yi disagrees, I will go to the palace to ask the emperor for money.”
Liu Fengyao could only grit her teeth and agree.
For a little money, she went to the emperor to complain, she was so depressed.
She spent a lot of money, she didn't want that little girl to steal all the limelight.
So she took Yue Ge'er out early today.
