Chapter 12 I cried
Chu Qinshu ate and slept every day to grow up, and before she knew it, it was the day for her third bath.
Because the crown prince was not around, Emperor Yongping was unable to make arrangements for him.
As Jin Yi arranged the third day bath, only the Duke Fuguo's Mansion and the Emperor and Empress were notified.
After everyone arrived, Chu Qinshu was carried to the flower hall by Aunt Yao.
She was wearing a festive red dress today. After two days of eating and sleeping, she looked whiter, tenderer and cuter than the day she was born.
"Shu'er, be good and come and let the emperor hug you."
As soon as Emperor Yongping saw Chu Qinshu, he became visibly happy.
He hadn't slept well these past two days, waiting to come over and hug her during the third day of her baby's bath.
His son was not at home, and as a father-in-law, it was not convenient for him to go to the East Palace every day.
Ruxin was also very tactless. She didn't even bother to take Shuer to Yu's study to see him.
"Shu'er, dear, do you miss the Emperor?"
Emperor Yongping took Chu Qinshu from Nanny Yao's arms and was inexplicably happy to see that her eyes and eyebrows had grown more mature.
[Grandpa, Grandpa, I miss you so much. I can't sleep because I miss you so much.]
As soon as Chu Qinshu arrived in Emperor Yongping's arms, she started to flatter him.
She was wearing a dress today and didn't need to be wrapped in a swaddle, so her arms and legs could move easily.
In Emperor Yongping's arms, she stretched out her arms and kicked her legs to show her closeness, and she laughed so hard that she couldn't even close her mouth.
"Hey, Shu'er, you still remember the Emperor. The Emperor really loves you. Look at what this is. Do you like it?"
This time, Emperor Yongping brought a small solid gold lock specially made for Chu Qinshu, with "Fu" engraved on one side and "Kang" on the other, and her title "Anping" engraved on the corner.
When Chu Qinshu saw the small golden lock, she reached out and grabbed it.
[Little Golden Lock, Shu'er likes Little Golden Lock the most. Thank you, Grandpa. You are the best Grandpa in the world.]
"Hahaha, I didn't expect Shu'er is such a money-loving person. You can't afford this."
Emperor Yongping put the golden lock around her neck as he spoke.
Chu Qinshu obviously felt the weight and estimated it to be about ten taels.
“Ahhh~Ahhh~~”
[Thank you, Your Majesty. I have become a wealthy woman. I love you the most.]
When excited, baby talk starts to flow out.
How much would ten taels of gold be worth?
According to the gold price in the previous life, it should be worth at least hundreds of thousands, right?
"Hahahaha, Shu'er and I get along well. I am very pleased."
Emperor Yongping laughed heartily, and everyone present, except the Empress, laughed along.
"That's right. The little princess is only so happy in the emperor's arms. When I hold her, she just sleeps and doesn't pay any attention to me."
Cui was inexplicably glared at by Emperor Yongping for several times, and she didn't react for a long time.
Seeing that he was happy now, she hurried over and said a few nice words to comfort him.
"Since Ruxin knows that Shu'er likes me, she can bring her to Yu's study more often to see me in the future."
Emperor Yongping smiled happily as he looked at Chu Qinshu in his arms, and did not forget to take the time to remind Cui.
"Oh, I've made a note of it."
Cui finally understood why Emperor Yongping glared at her, but she did not dare to agree to anything specific and could only answer vaguely.
Just kidding, how can you take a baby who is in confinement outside and let him get some fresh air every day?
"Your Majesty, may I hug the little princess? I have also prepared a gift for her."
When the Empress saw that Emperor Yongping was chatting with Cui, she felt so angry that her teeth were itching.
Don't think she doesn't know that Cui and Emperor Yongping were childhood sweethearts. They both have their own children and grandchildren, but they still flirt with each other. How shameless.
Cui: Bah, you are the childhood sweetheart of the old emperor. Your whole family is the childhood sweetheart of the old emperor. You are so shameless.
[Grandpa, my daughter doesn't want the Queen to hold her. She has bugs on her body and she's scared.]
When Chu Qinshu heard that the empress wanted to hug her, she grabbed Emperor Yongping's sleeve and refused to let go.
Because Yao Hulu reminded her in her mind that the Queen wanted to harm her.
"Queen, since you have prepared a gift for Shu'er, just give it to her. She is only three days old and her body is still soft. It is not easy to hug her, right, Shu'er?"
Emperor Yongping thought Chu Qinshu was talking about the worm grains on the Empress' body.
However, he had observed the empress carefully in the past few days, but could not figure out where the worm valley was hidden.
Since Chu Qinshu didn't want the Queen to hug him, he had to go along with her.
"Your Majesty is right. This concubine is thinking of hugging Shu'er to share in the good fortune and give you a princess because she is beautiful and the only girl in two generations of our royal family."
As the empress spoke, she moved closer to Emperor Yongping in a coy manner, hoping to take the opportunity to take Chu Qinshu away.
As for being rejected in public by Emperor Yongping, no matter how angry she was, she had to pretend that she didn't hear it.
The Eastern Palace is closely guarding against her, and it will be difficult to wait for another opportunity after today.
"You, you have hugged many young ladies from the Duke Xuan's Mansion, how can you take this seriously?"
Emperor Yongping still didn't let her hug Chu Qinshu, and even turned his body to the side, not letting her touch him.
"Your Majesty, the auspicious time has arrived. It's time to give the little princess a bath."
Cui also noticed that the empress was restless, so she winked at Lin Fu, who understood and quickly spoke up to remind her.
"Okay, let's get started."
When Chu Qinshu was carried away by Nanny Yao, her little hands were still holding onto Emperor Yongping's sleeves, which undoubtedly won Emperor Yongping's favor.
The ceremony at Yu Jinyi's place has been completed by the Venerable.
The copper basin used for Chu Qinshu's bath was filled with bath water made from locust branches and mugwort leaves, and was now placed on a table specially prepared in the flower hall.
When Chu Qinshu got into her grandmother's arms, she stared at the bath water in a daze. Was she going to take a bath in public?
I feel a little embarrassed, what should I do?
Emperor Yongping was the first to add something to the basin. After the meeting gift had been given, he would add some ordinary items with good meanings to the basin.
When the Venerable sees someone adding things to the basin, she will say some auspicious words to wish for good luck.
After Emperor Yongping had his first child, it was the Empress' turn.
The queen was angry and put the pair of gold bracelets that she had prepared as a gift into the basin.
Grandma Wen was beaming with joy, knowing that everything she put into the basin would be hers in the end.
Chu Qinshu was drooling as she watched, but it was a pity that she had never seen a third day bath in her previous life, and she thought these things were hers.
After the third-day washing ceremony was over, the kitchen sent the third-day washing noodles that Emperor Yongping had specially instructed them to prepare.
Chu Qinshu could only look but not eat, and her saliva began to flow again.
[Hiss, hiss, Your Majesty, I am drooling. I am hungry.]
"Grow up quickly, Shu'er. When you grow teeth, the emperor will ask the kitchen to make you lots of delicious noodles."
Emperor Yongping held her in his arms while eating noodles and laughed as he watched.
“Wow~Wow~Wow~”
Chu Qinshu was so upset that she cried. She was so pitiful. She was reborn with an empty stomach.
Anyone who knows knows how hungry I am on my way home from get off work in the afternoon.
It's a pity that she can only drink milk every day now, without even a bit of oil or salt, and her mouth is almost dry.
[Chicken, duck, fish, hot pot, barbecue, fried chicken milk tea, and snail noodles... I really want to eat different dishes for three days and three nights...]
Aunt Yao took Chu Qinshu away to feed her.
Emperor Yongping was still thinking about the food she mentioned. How come he had never seen so many of them?
It seems that it is time to recruit a new batch of chefs.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late. We should go back."
Seeing that there was no chance to take action, the Queen was unwilling to stay in the East Palace any longer.
"Well, it's time to go back."
Emperor Yongping looked at the sky outside, stood up and left, and the Empress, Lin Fu and others hurried to follow.
"Empress, you... you... your head..."
As soon as he left the East Palace, Lin Fu felt something was wrong.
Why did a lot of gray and white things appear in the queen's hair? Upon closer inspection, they seemed to be moving.
