Chapter 446: Susu enters the Golden Palace alone, the dragon and phoenix twins hold a one-year-old ceremony (2)

Inside the Golden Throne Hall

The emperor sat high on the dragon throne, listening to the censors arguing fiercely for half an hour, which gave him a headache.

Today is Susu's first birthday banquet, but here are a bunch of officials who have no sense of taste. Aren't they just delaying the end of court?

Just when the censors were arguing with each other endlessly, the emperor angrily slammed the dragon case, frightening the censors so much that they trembled and dared not even to breathe.

Outside the Golden Throne Hall

A small pink figure was lying on the red step, with two small tufts of hair on her head and two small white balls of fur hanging on the tufts. She was climbing up with her nimble limbs.

Ever since Susu learned to walk, the small Hehuan Palace could no longer hold her.

Xuetuan brought her, no, she brought Xuetuan to the Golden Palace.

The journey was smooth because everyone in the palace knew that Susu was the emperor's beloved and could go anywhere freely.

The guards were so frightened when they saw the little ancestor climbing up the hundred-step ladder.

"Do you want to carry the little ancestor up?"

"What if the little ancestor cries?"

Susu is not shy and anyone can hold her, even if they are not with her cousin. Last time, they were on duty and saw the little ancestor running out of the East Palace. They went up to hold her and tried to send her back, but the little ancestor burst into tears...

Xiaobai and Xuetuan followed Susu all the time, fearing that the little ancestor would accidentally step on empty air so that they could catch her.

After Susu climbed up, she patted her knees with her little hands and walked towards the throne room on her two short legs.

Xiaobai took just two steps when he was stopped by a snowball.

Xiaobai is four months old and is more than twice the size of Xuetuan. With just one look from Xuetuan, Xiaobai understood what Xuetuan meant.

It can't follow the little ancestor in...

Susu held the door frame with her two tender white hands, and stared at everyone in the room with curiosity with her big, blinking eyes. Only when she saw the emperor on the dragon chair did she smile and walk over the threshold with her short legs.

It was quiet inside the Golden Palace.

Susu held the small ball of fur on her cotton coat with one hand and looked curiously at the ministers on both sides as she walked.

All the ministers lowered their heads and saw a small figure in the center of the hall, walking towards them step by step.

The emperor's darling granddaughter, who was already playing with the imperial seal when she was three months old, who wouldn't recognize her?

The Golden Palace is where state affairs are discussed. How can one enter and leave at will, even if one is favored?

The emperor was in a rage, and the royal granddaughter came at the wrong time.

Susu had no idea what the civil and military officials were thinking. She tilted her head and looked at the adults curiously as they lowered their heads and remained silent. Then she looked at the emperor sitting on the dragon throne and trotted over happily.

When Eunuch Li saw Susu, he quickly reminded the emperor, "Your Majesty, the princess is here."

The emperor was drinking the antipyretic tea brought by Eunuch Li. When he heard that Susu was coming, he didn't believe it. Susu was in the East Palace, and this place was quite far away from the East Palace.

He raised his head and saw a small pink figure in the center of the hall and was stunned.

Watching the little pink figure walking up step by step, holding on to the golden steps.

The emperor handed the teacup to Eunuch Li, stood up, walked over with big steps, bent down and picked up Susu.

Susu happily hugged the emperor's neck and called in a baby voice, "Grandpa, Grandpa."

Susu learned the word "grandfather" recently. The three words "emperor grandpa" are a bit difficult, but the two words "grandfather" are relatively easy.

When the emperor heard Susu calling him "Grandpa", he laughed happily.

Hearing the emperor's laughter, all the civil and military officials below were bewildered. They also realized that the emperor changed his expression faster than turning the pages of a book. He was furious just a second ago, but now he was laughing heartily.

"Dismiss the court." The emperor was delighted. He said these two words and walked out of the throne room holding Susu in his arms.

When the emperor saw the white tiger and Xuetuan at the door, he frowned. Xuetuan was fine, but he was not afraid of a cat as long as he could keep it well.

However, it is outrageous for Susu to have a white tiger as a pet.

In two or three months, the size will double. What if it gets hurt?

Susu saw Xiaobai and waved her hands at it, "Hoo, hoo, hoo..."

This was not the first time the emperor had heard Susu call Baihu Huhu. He gently corrected her, "Susu, it's Huhu, Baihu."

Susu tilted her head and repeated in a baby voice: "Hoohoo, Grandpa, hoohoo."

The emperor laughed when he heard this. The Crown Princess said that it was normal for young children to have some incorrect pronunciations of words, and it would be fine when they grow up, so she didn't continue to correct them.

"Can the Emperor take you to see the Empress?"

Susu heard that Grandma Huang was very excited, "Nana."

Grandma's pronunciation was not as easy as grandpa's. Susu, who was only one year old, did not pronounce the words clearly, but the emperor just let her be and walked towards Fengyi Palace with Susu in his arms.

Xiaobai immediately followed on all fours.

Xuetuan turned around and went back to the East Palace.

At this time, Hehuan Hall

Shen Chuwei and his men searched the Hehuan Palace thoroughly but did not find Susu. Finally, they had to expand the search to the entire East Palace.

The guards and maids in the East Palace searched one by one, and at the same time, the ladies in other palaces were also alarmed.

Chang Liangyuan was walking outside and saw the people in the palace were in a panic. She asked Huaixiang, "What's going on outside? Why is there so much noise?"

Huaixiang said: "I heard that the little princess is missing and everyone is looking for her."

When Chang Liangyuan heard that the little princess was missing, she smiled and said, "A one-year-old child is so wild. I don't know why the emperor and empress like her so much."

"I heard that the emperor has always hoped to have a princess, but the concubines were not able to conceive. Fortunately, the Crown Princess gave birth to a little princess. The emperor must be happy to have a granddaughter." Huaixiang guessed.

Chang Liangyuan felt very unwilling to hear this. She had been in the palace for such a long time but had never served the emperor in bed, and the emperor and empress did not ask about it.

If she sleeps with him, she will definitely give birth to a son and a daughter.

"It's a bargain for the Crown Princess."

"My lady, the most important thing for us now is to serve you in bed. Only by serving you in bed can we have the opportunity to be honored as a mother by virtue of our son." Huaixiang reminded.

"Of course I know the importance of sleeping with the prince, but His Highness won't come." When Chang Liangyuan said this, she thought of the method her mother suggested, which was completely useless for Xiao Jinyan. She could only think of other ways.

Shen Chuwei led people to look for her, but didn't find Susu. However, they found Taotao in the study.

Taotao stood on a chair, writing and drawing with a red brush, looking very professional.

Shen Chuwei looked at him and couldn't help but sigh. He was indeed Xiao Jinyan's son. He was so hardworking at only one year old.

When she walked to the desk and saw what Taotao had drawn, she thought, it's all over, Taotao is in trouble.

Let’s not talk about what the ghost painting Taotao drew is, the important thing is the paper.

The paper Taotao was writing on was a painting with calligraphy on it, and it was given to her by someone else. Xiao Jinyan even praised the painting in front of her, indicating that he liked it very much.

Tao Tao saw Shen Chuwei coming, raised the red brush in her hand, and smiled happily, "Mom."

Seeing her precious son smiling so happily, Shen Chuwei decided to tell him the truth.

"Baby, you're done."

Taotao stared at Shen Chuwei in confusion, not understanding the meaning of these words at all.

Shen Chuwei took her son down, took the red brush from his hand, put it back in its place, and looked at the calligraphy and painting again. Even if she had supernatural powers, she could not restore the painting to its original state.

As she rolled up the scroll, she complained, "I'm already so old, but I don't put the paintings away after I finish looking at them. I just hang them on the wall so my son won't destroy them."

Taotao learned very quickly, learning a word in one sentence, "mamahuohuo."

Shen Chuwei was amused and said, "Don't worry, I will protect you."

She also didn't know how to calm Xiao Jinyan down.

After cleaning up, Shen Chuwei took her son to wash their hands.

Chunxi came over at this time, "Master, Xuetuan is back, but Susu and Xiaobai are missing."

Shen Chuwei knew that Xuetuan and Xiaobai had been staying with Susu for almost twelve hours, so their sudden disappearance must have been the result of the three of them disappearing together.

Xuetuan is back, which means Susu has found the person she was looking for, and she can rest assured.

Last time, Susu went to find Xiao Jinyan by herself.

I don’t know who Susu went to see today.

Shen Chuwei carried her son back to the Hehuan Palace. Xiao Jinyan came back from outside the palace. Seeing her holding her son, he said, "Taotao is already one year old. Don't hold him all the time."

Although Shen Chuwei didn't like holding her son, he was already one year old and weighed a lot, so it was tiring to carry him all the way back.

She just expressed doubts about what Xiao Jinyan said?

"He's only one year old, why can't I hold him?"

Xiao Jinyan thinks that if a boy always holds her, he will appear to be very cowardly. If he depends on Shen Chuwei for everything, when will he be able to stand on his own?

You definitely can't say that to Shen Chuwei.

"Taotao is one year old and weighs over 20 kilograms. Aren't you tired of holding her all the time?"

Shen Chuwei felt warm in her heart, knowing that her husband really cared about her.

"Your Highness has a point."

Xiao Jinyan took Taotao from her arms, turned around and put her on the ground.

Taotao looked at Xiao Jinyan with confusion.

Xiao Jinyan glanced around the room, but didn't see Susu. "Where's Susu? The birthday party is about to start."

Shen Chu shrugged: "Susu ran out by herself. I don't know if she went to find her father or mother. She might have gone to find her uncle."

Xiao Jinyan had witnessed Susu's ability to find people. When he was in the meeting room, Susu could find him and bring Xiaobai and Xuetuan with her.

"I don't know who Susu looks like, she loves running around so much."

Shen Chuwei said: "I don't like running. How much more comfortable is it to lie down after eating and drinking?"

Xiao Jinyan looked at Shen Chuwei, "This doesn't look like you at all to me."

At this time, Qingying came in and bowed to them, "Your Highness, Crown Princess."

Shen Chuwei asked, "What is it that Aunt Qingying is here for?"

Qingying said gently, "The Queen asked me to come and get Susu's new clothes."

Shen Chuwei was a little surprised, "It turns out that Susu went to look for her mother."

Qingying smiled and shook her head, "Susu went to the Golden Palace to find the emperor, and the emperor carried Susu to find the empress."

Xiao Jinyan: “…”

Shen Chuwei: “…”

How far is the East Palace from the Golden Palace? The fact that Susu walked such a long way to find the emperor by herself is enough to show how much the emperor dotes on Susu, which is why Susu took the initiative to find him.

Because the emperor took Susu to the Jinluan Palace several times to attend court~

Shen Chuwei asked Chunxi to bring Susu's new clothes to Nanny Qingying.

After Qingying left, Shen Chuwei and Xiao Jinyan dressed up and took Taotao to attend the first birthday banquet.

When we went there, the things for the one-year-old ceremony had already been prepared.

The emperor came first, holding Susu and the empress.

The Queen saw Shen Chuwei coming and waved to her happily, "Crown Princess, come quickly, bring Taotao over, let Taotao and Susu do the one-year-old ceremony together."

Shen Chuwei stepped forward and bowed, "Mother."

Xiao Jinyan came to the emperor and together with him placed the two babies on the table.

Shen Chuwei took a box of strawberry cake from Chunxi's hand and placed it among the pile of items.

Xiao Jinyan looked at the box of strawberry cake and asked Shen Chuwei, "Why put strawberry cake in it?"

Shen Chuwei explained: "This is called having no worries about food and clothing."

Xiao Jinyan: "..." As a future princess, are you still afraid of having nothing to eat or wear?

The queen looked at the two little babies without any hurry and said, "We can start now."

The emperor said, "Wait, I also want to put something in there."
