The area was filled with civil and military officials, and they were even more curious about what items the emperor would put for the babies to celebrate their first birthday. Shen Chuwei and Xiao Jinyan turned their heads to look over, their eyes filled with curiosity.

Even the Queen couldn't help but be curious, she looked up and asked, "What does the Emperor want to put in there?"

The emperor kept it a secret for a while, "The queen will know in a moment."

The less the emperor said, the more curious the queen became. The dog emperor only knew how to keep things a secret! It had been almost four months since the last time he told her about the secret between him and his concubines, but the dog emperor still refused to tell her! She was so mad!

At this time, Eunuch Li came over holding a golden box, "Your Majesty, the things are here."

The emperor ordered, "Give it to me."

Eunuch Li bent his body and presented it with both hands.

Everyone's eyes turned to the item in Eunuch Li's hand. They recognized at a glance that it was the box containing the imperial seal. It went without saying that the item the emperor wanted to put there was the imperial seal.

Everyone present was stunned. The emperor actually used the imperial seal as a gift for the first time.

The emperor opened the box, took out the jade seal and placed it among the items. Then he looked at Taotao and Susu opposite him with a smile.

"This is the imperial seal. Whoever picks it up will be rewarded."

"Since the emperor has put something there, I will put something there too." The queen said as she called Qingying to take off the phoenix crown for her and put it in the middle.

The phoenix crown also represents a symbol of power and status. It is intricately crafted, and only the queen of noble status can wear it.

The emperor looked at the phoenix crown and asked the queen, "What is the meaning of your placing the phoenix crown?"

The queen raised her chin and replied, "This is called Phoenix in the Ninth Heaven."

The emperor nodded in agreement. "That's a good implication. Our grandchildren should have such courage."

Shen Chuwei looked at the pile of items, and the most eye-catching ones were the crystal clear jade seal and the phoenix crown inlaid with precious gems.

Is this expectation too high? She looked at the strawberry cake she made herself.

What if the son and daughter are like her, eating and drinking, and sleeping like a slob? Wouldn't that disappoint the expectations of the emperor and the empress? Xiao Jinyu popped up from behind and chuckled twice, "Since the emperor and the empress have both released it, you don't mind if my uncle puts one item in there."

The emperor knew that his son never took the usual route, and the same was true when it came to getting things.

"Why are you joining in the fun?"

"Your Majesty is allowed to take it, but why can't I, your son, take it?" Xiao Jinyu had never been afraid of the emperor. He took out a wooden sword from his arms and placed it between the jade seal and the phoenix crown.

Then he looked at Taotao with a smile, "Taotao, remember to take the sword."

emperor:"……"

Queen: “…”

I knew this guy couldn't come up with anything decent.

Chang Liangyuan, who was standing not far away, saw this scene and could no longer hold back her jealousy. Why were Shen Chuwei's two children the center of attention?

Even my aunt seemed like a different person.

Looking at Shen Chuwei standing next to Xiao Jinyan with such a smug smile on her face, he felt extremely unbalanced.

Obviously, everything belonged to her, but it was snatched away by Shen Chuwei. How could she not hate him? The Queen Mother came late with the support of Wan Xin and saw the scene just now. This was the first time she had seen such favor.

Taotao and Susu are indeed very popular, and it’s no wonder that the emperor and empress like them.

Wanxin looked at the scene in front of her, and glanced towards Xiao Jinyan and Shen Chuwei. She was somewhat glad that she had made the choice at that time and did not follow the Queen Mother's wishes and become Xiao Jinyan's concubine.

It is difficult for someone as devoted as Xiao Jinyan to allow a third person to get involved.

She glanced at Chang Liangyuan, who was the niece of the queen and the legitimate daughter of General Chang, but was also favored but lived alone in an empty room.

She only has the Empress Dowager's support, so she might be worse than Chang Liangyuan even if she enters the Eastern Palace.

She looked at Xiao Jinyu again and saw that he was with Miss Han. Compared with Xiao Jinyan, it would be better to marry Xiao Jinyu.

When the emperor saw the queen mother coming, he brought a group of people to pay their respects to her.

"The queen came at the right time."

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "You guys continue, I will just watch the fun from the side."

The emperor still invited the empress dowager to the front and glanced at the items in front of him. He was a little impatient to know which one Taotao and Susu would take.

"Taotao, Susu, come here quickly."

As early as when Taotao and Susu were placed on the table, the two babies couldn't help wanting to crawl over, but were stopped by two little eunuchs.

At this time, the little eunuch heard the emperor's words and let them go. Taotao and Susu then crawled towards a pile of items.

The emperor and empress kept staring at the little ones, hoping that they could hold the imperial seal and the phoenix crown.

Shen Chuwei was different. She was looking forward to the babies getting the strawberry cake. "Babies, the strawberry cake is good."

After a while, Taotao and Susu crawled to a pile of items.

Placed in the front are the four treasures of the study: writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone, followed by books, gold, silver and jewelry.

Susu saw the strawberry cake, reached out to pick it up, put it into her mouth and took a bite without hesitation. She already had eight teeth, so she could easily eat the soft cake.

Shen Chuwei happily grabbed Xiao Jinyan's hand and said excitedly: "Susu took the strawberry cake first."

Xiao Jinyan said helplessly: "Susu's greedy nature is confirmed."

Shen Chuwei looked at Susu eating strawberry cake. She looked very cute. She said nonchalantly, "What's wrong with being greedy?"

Xiao Jinyan looked at Susu eating and found that she was simply a smaller version of Xiaojiu, especially the look in her eyes when she saw the delicious food.

"Of course there's nothing wrong with that."

"Susu is so cute when she eats."

"She even knows how to lick her fingers."

Susu was holding a strawberry cake. Although it was not big, it was a bit big for a one-year-old baby, so it was inevitable that her hands would be covered with cream. After eating, she would reach out to her mouth and lick the cream when she saw it on her hands.

Then the palace maid took a wet handkerchief and wiped Susu's mouth and hands.

Here, Taotao picked up the red brush and played with it, and with her other hand, she touched the four treasures of the study one by one. When she saw the peach wood sword, she picked it up curiously and played with it for a while.

Xiao Jinyu was so excited when he saw Taotao picking up the peach wood sword, "Taotao has good taste, this is a blessed peach wood sword."

Miss Han: “…”

Xiao Jinyan: "..."

Shen Chuwei: “…”

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

emperor:"……"

Queen: “…”

After Susu finished eating the strawberry cake, she saw the jade seal. She crawled over and touched the seal with her chubby little hands. Since she had played with it before, she had no interest in playing with it again.

Her eyes finally fell on the ruby ​​on the phoenix crown. She had always been interested in bright colors. She held the phoenix crown in her hands on her legs, stared at the ruby, and then used her small hands to click it.

The queen saw it and said excitedly: "Susu has good vision, she will become a great person in the future."

Shen Chuwei: “…” With a mother like her with such strong genes, it’s hard for her to achieve great things~ Susu held the phoenix crown and looked up at the queen. She stood up with her small hands on the table and walked towards the queen.

The queen saw Susu's actions and looked at her curiously. When she came closer, she happily picked up Susu.

Susu raised the phoenix crown in her hand and placed it on the queen's head, saying in a baby voice, "Nana, Nana."

Susu saw the Queen almost every day, and always saw her wearing the Phoenix Crown, so when she saw the Phoenix Crown, she naturally thought that it should be on the Queen's head.

When the emperor saw this, he enthusiastically reached out to help Susu put the phoenix crown back on the queen's head.

"Susu is so sensible that she even knew to put the phoenix crown on Grandma Huang."

The queen laughed happily when she saw Susu's actions, "Susu is awesome."

When everyone's attention was on Susu, Taotao held the pen sword in one hand and touched the jade seal with the other. The seal was in the shape of a lifelike unicorn with a smooth surface, making people love it.

Taotao stared at Qilin, her eyes full of curiosity.

Seeing Taotao playing with the jade seal, Xiao Jinyu said, "Taotao seems to like the jade seal, too."

Hearing this, the emperor retracted his gaze to look at Taotao, and saw that he was playing with the jade seal, or to be more precise, he was playing with the shape of the jade seal, the Qilin.

"Tao Tao holds a pen and a sword in one hand and a jade seal in the other. She is proficient in both civil and military affairs and has power in her hands. She will surely become a great man in the future."

Only the emperor dared to say such words, and could say them. To put it another way, it was someone who coveted the throne.

Even Xiao Jinyan didn't dare to say such words.

The one-year-old banquet and the "Zhuazhou" ceremony took up quite a lot of time, and the next step was to take our seats, which was also Shen Chuwei's favorite part.

Taotao and Susu were beside the Emperor and the Empress at this time. Their greatest pleasure was to play with Taotao and Susu, and they were naturally happier to have meals together.

Without the babies around, Shen Chuwei ate at the same speed as usual.

Xiao Jinyan looked at Shen Chuwei, who had been eating non-stop since she sat down, with a smile on her face, and was eating very happily. This was probably a kind of happiness that he could never experience.

Concubine Yun and Concubine De looked at Taotao and Susu beside the emperor and felt extremely jealous.

Such honor and favor was the treatment their grandson had never received before. Neither the full-month banquet nor the one-year-old banquet had ever been so grand.

Now, the queen often takes Taotao and Susu out to play, and they try to avoid her when they see her.

After all, how could a grandson compare to twins? The emperor's treasure.

Since we can't compete, we must stay away.

After the one-year-old birthday party, Taotao and Susu were already sleepy, so the nurses took them back home to take a nap.

Xiao Jinyan and Shen Chuwei returned to the East Palace.

"I'm going to the study to take care of some things, and you can take a nap too." Xiao Jinyan knew that Xiaojiu liked to lie down after eating and drinking. Now was exactly nap time, so she would definitely take a nap.

When Shen Chuwei heard about the study, she thought of the painting that was destroyed by her son. If Xiao Jinyan found out that the painting was destroyed, would he be angry? She grabbed Xiao Jinyan who was about to leave and said, "Your Highness, I am not sleepy now. Can I go to the study with you?"

Xiao Jinyan naturally wouldn't refuse when his wife said so, "Okay."

The two of them walked into the study one after another.

Liu Xi brought two cups of freshly brewed tea and placed them on the desk, then left.

Xiao Jinyan came to the desk and found that the painting he had placed on the desk before leaving was missing.

Shen Chuwei saw Xiao Jinyan staring at the desk. He had such a good memory that he must have noticed that the calligraphy and paintings were missing.

She quickly stepped forward and took Xiao Jinyan's hand, "Your Highness, please hug me."

Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes and looked at his wife, "Now?"

Good night, babies!
