Harigana knew that the Empress Dowager would definitely send gifts to the two children, but he did not expect that she would send a dragon and a phoenix.
It seems that the Empress Dowager has a lot of leverage over her; she has truly compromised completely and is even trying to curry favor with Emperor Kangxi.
Fortunately, she had already said those things to Emperor Kangxi beforehand, so the nature of the matter would have changed if she had said them later.
“Aunt Suma, my children and I thank the Empress Dowager. When we return to the palace, I will take the children to express our gratitude. Please convey this message to the Empress Dowager.”
Sumalagu quickly half-squatted down: "This servant will definitely deliver it, please rest assured, Your Majesty."
The Empress Dowager also brought out the gifts she had prepared: a fine inkstone and a specially made hairpin, both very exquisite.
Prince Kang and others also put things up, and in the end it was Baoli Ri's turn, which was very simple but very tempting: deeds to ten shops.
No one expected that after the wet nurse placed the two children on the platform, Kangxi would actually have Li Dequan place his personal seal on it.
"Xuan Ye!"
Harigana called out to Kangxi in a low voice, and the latter took her hand and patted it, saying, "It's alright, don't worry."
This matter is no secret, and given how much he dotes on Harigana, if there wasn't something special today, he might be the subject of gossip in the future.
"oh!"
The baby and baby had already been taught by the wet nurse. Now they sat on the table, turned their heads to look at Harigana and Kangxi, and then stood up and slowly began to make their choices.
Some people in the crowd were surprised. Although they had seen Yin Fu and Bayalige walking around noisily at the previous palace banquet, they hadn't gone far.
It hasn't been long, and I didn't expect him to be so steady, he doesn't need anyone to help him up.
Whether in royalty or in an ordinary family, it is rare to see a one-year-old child walking so steadily.
Beibei watched her brother pick out things, followed behind him, and imitated him by picking and choosing as well, which made everyone laugh.
The baby first took the inkstone, then Emperor Kangxi's seal, and stood aside waiting for his younger sister.
Logically speaking, the baby should go up first, and then the baby.
As a result, Emperor Kangxi allowed both children to go up together, which made many people have their own thoughts, never expecting that a princess would be so highly regarded.
If there is a boy of similar age in the family, he can also become a prince consort in the future.
"Brother, take it."
Bayalige had already picked up the gifts given to them by the Empress Dowager, and now she was pointing at the raw stone, wanting the baby to help her pick it up.
Li Dequan quickly went up to her: "Princess, is this what you want?"
Beibei nodded: "Here you go, Mother."
Seeing Li Dequan help her get the raw stone, Beibei clapped her hands happily, turned around and ran towards Harigana, not forgetting to call out, "Brother, let's go."
The baby followed steadily behind her, his little face full of tension, probably afraid that she would fall. The tension on his face only disappeared when Harigana hugged him.
Li Dequan said many auspicious words, which made the scene very lively.
The lunch was also very lavish, and people could tell from the taste that it was prepared by the imperial kitchen.
"Beibei, you should eat less Gaogao."
The Empress Dowager and Seingia each sat at the main table holding one of the two. Seeing that she had already eaten a large piece, they quickly spoke up.
"oh!"
Hearing Grandma say that she shouldn't eat too much, Beibei pouted, but still obediently stopped eating.
The baby only ate a few bites, and didn't seem to like sweets very much.
This is different from his father, Kangxi, who liked sweets.
"Jiaojiao, are you tired?"
After the luncheon, I returned to Qingxi Palace and looked at the woman lying on the bed, half asleep. Touching her cheek, I felt a pang of heartache.
"I'm not tired, just a little sleepy."
As she spoke, she opened her eyes and glared at Kangxi. If it weren't for him, would she be so sleepy?
"Sweetie, go to sleep. I'll lull you to sleep, okay?"
Touching his nose, he felt a little guilty, but he refused to mention what happened last night.
Harigana didn't intend to do anything, and Kangxi was very comfortable filming, so he said: "Call me up in half an hour, you must call me up."
Without saying what he was going to do, he closed his eyes and fell asleep in no time.
Sumalagu returned to the Cining Palace after the baby's first birthday celebration, and she brought back a small cake with her.
"You're saying that the child took my jade pendant first?"
Bumbutai was somewhat surprised, not expecting Bayalige to choose that one.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the little princess has chosen the jade pendant you gave her and is holding it tightly."
Looking at the cake in front of me, I remembered that I had given it to her before, but she hadn't eaten it.
This time, she ate it, and it tasted very good.
"Su Ma, shouldn't I have let go long ago?"
Sumalagu thought for a moment and said, "Empress Dowager, you are getting old. Xuan Ye is a filial son, and the Empress Dowager is a kind-hearted woman. You have many more days to enjoy."
Bumbutai didn't speak. After taking two bites, she put down her spoon, turned around, went into the inner hall, and lay down on the bed with a somewhat vacant look in her eyes.
In Qingxi Palace, Emperor Kangxi looked at Harigana, who was sleeping soundly, and really couldn't bear to wake her, but she insisted that he had to, so he had to suppress his reluctance and call her.
"Hmm!"
She rolled over, hugged his waist, and snuggled into his arms: "I'll get up after a short while."
"Jiaojiao, there's still some time before the banquet starts, you can sleep a little longer."
"No, I'm taking my two children to the Cining Palace to express my gratitude. Didn't I already say that?"
Kangxi recalled what he had said to Su Mala Gu earlier. He had thought she wanted to go in a few days, but he didn't expect her to go today.
However, even if you go, you still have to.
