Chapter 406 Zhuang Jiong



The tenth prince was given a third-day bath.

Princess Wu brought Xie Gong to the East Palace. The baby's third-day celebration was held in the East Palace, since it was a prince's celebration, not his mother's.

Besides Princess Peng, the Crown Princess of Song also brought a child.

Princess Shen brought her son and Princess Tong'an.

Everyone sat in the Qing'e Hall.

The Qing'e Palace is large, but it doesn't seem so when you sit here. So it should be this size.

Xie Gong looked at the Crown Princess's second aunt with great fear.

Huan Yue was displeased: "Look at how gentle and beautiful I am, what is there to be afraid of?"

Xie Gong will not be misled by illusions.

Huan Yue insisted on teasing him: "The grandson of the Great Zhao should be fearless! A gentleman is upright and honest, and I cannot hit you even if you have not done anything wrong."

Xie Gongying.

Yan Boxuan was also unhappy; his aunt was so kind!

Xie Cao, that kid, doesn't know fear.

In the end, Xie Gong was in a bit of an awkward situation.

Xie Li came over and flirted with him.

Xie Gong looked at his younger cousin. "He's not crying today? Did his second aunt discipline him?"

Xie Li rolled his eyes. "No way! It's just that my second sister-in-law spoils me." He climbed onto the stage and took a few steps to test it.

He plopped down, looked up at his second sister-in-law, who must spoil him the most.

Yan Boxuan came over to help him, and Xie Cao helped as well. The two brothers were about four years old in total, and they couldn't move a one-year-old.

Xie Gong felt he was balding and looked haggard.

Despite all this commotion, Xie Li, as an elder, didn't cry.

Princess Tong'an was overjoyed! Her elders were being bullied by a few unscrupulous juniors!

Xie Gong had to step in and lift Xie Li up.

Xie Li glared at him and asked, "Who are you?"

Xie Gong introduced himself: "Your eldest nephew."

I don't know her, baby needs to find second sister-in-law.

Xie Gong carried him to his second aunt and ran away quickly.

Princess Tong'an laughed: "Why are you so timid?"

Xie Gong declared confidently, "I'm seven years old!"

For seven years, men and women did not sit together. He was exactly ten years younger than his second aunt, not much of a difference. Even if there was a generational difference, they should still avoid each other.

Besides, although that incident didn't ultimately have a significant impact on the Crown Princess.

But Xie Gong had to worry about clearing his aunt's name, so Minghou endured it for three whole months.

Therefore, women are not to be trifled with, and women from the Pei family are even more so; otherwise, they would be capable of killing their husbands, sons, and mothers.

Giving Shiro his third-day bath was quick; it's too cold to bother the child.

Those who came were all members of the royal family of some importance. They recognized the newborn child of the royal family, and from then on, the child would have a share in the royal family.

We had lunch together at Liubei Hall.

The sun is shining brightly right now, so it's not too cold inside the hall.

Princess Wu and Qing'e said, "This Pei Huanli..."

Huan Yue laughed and said, "If she's bold enough to scheme against my cousin, I'll deal with her however I want. I'll arrange a marriage for her, and she'll understand."

Princess Wu frowned, fearing it might not be that simple. But ultimately, she wasn't afraid.

Huan Yue said, "It's because our family is kind-hearted; otherwise, how could we not find them?"

Princess Wu nodded. Even if her son became lame or deaf, she wouldn't worry, but Xie Su didn't want to marry him for the time being.

Let Pei Huanli have a little advantage, then Princess Wu asked, "Who will she marry in the future?"

Huan Yue didn't mince words: "Doesn't she like scholars?"

Princess Wu understood.

There are too many educated people! Don't be fooled by the fact that poor people can't afford to study; there are still quite a few of them, especially those who can't afford to study at all, who are easy to deal with.

Pei Huanli is good-looking; whether she will lead people astray remains to be seen.

It's not too difficult, after all.

But it would be troublesome if it involved a marriage alliance.

There are still quite a few people left in the Kingdom of Wunu, so the princess should marry a prince or duke.

Xie Zhen was not there, needless to say, and Xie Yu was not even worth considering; Xie Su was just around the corner.

If the princess of Wunu Kingdom really takes a liking to Xie Qi, it's not that she can just take a liking to him and that's it; she must have made some preparations.

A palace attendant came to report: "The Grand Princess of Nankang requests an audience."

Huan Yue asked curiously, "How does she still have the time for this?"

The royal family basically ignores her; seniority doesn't put food on the table.

She hasn't eaten yet, so let her come over.

Lady Yin looked at the Grand Princess of Nankang and saw that she had aged a lot!

Although she might not be dressed up, she is indeed very old, and could pass away at any time. So even if we treat her badly, we'll still leave her some room for maneuver. It's just that she doesn't appreciate it.

The younger generation all bowed, and although the Crown Princess of Song was of the same generation, she was younger and behaved very well.

The Grand Princess of Nankang started shaking again and asked to find a seat.

Princess Shen didn't mind and gave her the seat, saying she and Di Baose would just sit together.

Di Baose was bold enough to accept the invitation to join Princess Shen at the banquet.

The Grand Princess of Nankang sat down and continued to speak.

Huan Yue reminded him, "If you don't want to leave here lying down, then you should have some self-respect."

Princess Nankang immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Xie Gong watched, so his fear was justified, wasn't it? But the Grand Princess of Nankang was indeed a scoundrel.

She used to be close to Consort Fu? So she's making demands of Prince Wu? She's not an ancestor of Prince Wu's household. She really should be told to have some self-respect.

Princess Nankang snapped out of her daze and glared angrily at Huan Yue!

Huan Yue said, "There are rumors outside that I forced the Dowager Empress to her death. This is a lie that can be taken for truth, and the truth can also be taken for falsehood."

The Grand Princess of Nankang was completely bewildered. Was it possible that even if she were truly killed, the evidence would be fabricated? With so many people watching, were they all complicit in forging testimony?

The Crown Prince's wife and the Princess of Wu were too lazy to pay attention, but the Princess of Peng was already skilled at helping to greet guests in the Eastern Palace.

Other guests were one thing, but Xie Cao was thick-skinned; even if Yan Boxuan could suppress him, he couldn't keep a constant eye on him.

Yan Boxuan could eat on his own, but he couldn't deal with Xie Cao, so in the end Xie Gong had to step in.

Xie Gong, doesn't he know what he's doing? Anyway, Xie Cao is his cousin, so we can't ignore him.

The child was making a fuss on the side.

This is bizarre. If the Grand Princess of Nankang continues to cause trouble, won't she be worse than a child?

So the Grand Princess stopped making a fuss and said to Princess Tong'an, "Zhuang Jiong will be arriving in Sheng'an soon."

Princess Tong'an glanced at the old woman, then lowered her head and ate her food.

The Grand Princess of Nankang got excited: "You're already fifteen. If you don't get engaged soon, you'll never get married. Zhuang Jiong is only seventeen. Although he was the top scholar in the autumn imperial examination, he won't be the top scholar. Next year, the top scholar in the spring imperial examination will definitely be someone else. Besides, it's a marriage between relatives."

Princess Shen and Di Baose are eating, what are they talking about with the dead?

Why would the bookmaker choose this moment to die?

Wait a minute! The princess of Wunu Kingdom is marrying Zhuang Jiong!

Princess Wu realized she had been presumptuous. The other woman didn't even fancy Xie Su.

Huan Yue invited Auntie to drink. Even if our family members aren't good enough, it's not like they were chosen by others.

Princess Wu nodded. Would Princess Tong'an be unable to get married? She watched as the eldest princess was carried out.

The eunuchs brought out a roast suckling pig.

A group of children were excited.

Yan Boxuan was busy saying from the side, "You should respect your elders first."

Xie Cao shouted, "I want to eat!"

Yan Boxuan hit him. The two brothers started fighting again.

Xie Gong has plenty to eat, but keeping an eye on those unruly kids is exhausting. His second aunt must be even more tired raising several unruly children.

The cook finished chopping, and the eunuch brought the first plate to the Crown Prince's wife.

When the second dish was served to Princess Wu, she refused it, saying, "Qing'e loves to eat it."

Huan Yue was delighted: "Auntie really loves me."

Princess Shen was displeased: "It's as if I don't care about you."

Huan Yue said proudly, "I know everyone likes me, and that's something you can't envy."
