"call,"
He Zhuo sighed contentedly. He hadn't taken a bath in a month; it felt so good.
She's now used to this extravagant life where she's waited on hand and foot.
Originally, the nanny did not agree to let her take a bath.
He Zhuo said, "The imperial physician said to have two months of confinement, but he didn't say that I couldn't take a bath." Later, Bai Xia also said that the princess was recovering well.
Actually, the reason for having two postpartum periods is twofold: one is to avoid being lazy, and the other is to create the illusion of postpartum weakness. After all, it would be abnormal for you to be as energetic as a normal person after having two children in a row.
In this palace, nothing abnormal can exist.
Ever since Little Treasure found out about her younger brother...
She came to see her younger brother every day, but the little prince was still young and spent his days eating and sleeping, waking up and eating again, ignoring her. The little girl felt a bit wronged.
He Zhuo coaxed her, saying that her little brother was still small, and that Xiao Zhenbao had been like that when he was little too. They could play together when he got older.
Little Treasure was relieved, but she still came to see her younger brother once a day.
There are already five children in the family, but little Zhenbao is still lonely and has no playmates of the same age.
The twins and the young prince were all newborns, and the second princess was still very young. He Zhuo rarely saw them. Usually, she would send her nanny to Zhilan Courtyard every few days to show her concern.
After Hezhuo became pregnant, she was exempted from paying her respects. After the pregnancy stabilized, Yinzhi exempted her from paying her respects again when he went on tours. Later, when the Empress passed away, she was no longer required to pay her respects in the later stages of her pregnancy. In total, the Second Princess was only carried to the main courtyard to pay her respects twice.
The two sisters had never met, and the people in the main courtyard never mentioned it. Little Zhenbao didn't even know there was a younger sister named Second Princess. Consort Hui and Prince Yinzhi never mentioned the princesses in front of Little Zhenbao either. In Little Zhenbao's young mind, she thought there were only two children, her brother and herself.
During her postpartum confinement, He Zhuo did not leave her room. Fortunately, He Zhuo was used to staying at home, and her son would come to keep her company every day, so she did not feel bored.
The full moon celebration was just a simple affair with only a few tables.
Because the young princes would be attending, the banquet was held separately. Lady Irgen Gioro arrived early to help. A feast was set up in the main courtyard, where Yinzhi's concubines were present. In addition, the three illegitimate daughters from Zhilan Courtyard were also brought out by their wet nurses for a brief introduction.
Originally, Xiao Zhenbao was supposed to see her younger sisters, but Yinzhi took her directly to the front courtyard to be with the other princes.
The young prince made an appearance in the front yard and was immediately brought back by his wet nurse. After a month, the redness on his face had faded, and he was yawning, which made him very lovable. Yinzhi couldn't stop smiling.
The Crown Prince presented a jade pendant, which was said to have been given to him by the Empress Dowager when he was a month old.
The other princes and princesses were mostly given small gold locks and silver necklaces; after a round of gifts, there were about ten small gold locks today. Since the main courtyard was occupied by Yinzhi's concubines, the princesses were also in the front courtyard with the princes.
This was the first time Little Treasure had ever seen so many princes and princesses.
She had also interacted with the Eighth Prince and the Fifth Princess, who was raised in the Empress Dowager's palace. She was a likable person and not shy at all. They had a lot of fun together, and in the end, she even went to Consort Hui's palace with the Eighth Prince.
Because of the many taboos associated with the middle of the month, the princesses did not enter He Zhuo's room, but only sat for a short while in the main courtyard.
The third princess of Emperor Kangxi, born to Consort Rong, has been granted the title of Princess Rongxian of the First Rank and her marriage is scheduled for June, when she will marry Urgun of the Borjigit clan of the Bairin tribe in Southern Mongolia. Her husband is the grandson of Princess Guren Shuhui, and also the maternal grandson of Emperor Taizong and Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang.
Emperor Kangxi doted on this eldest daughter, who was practically his eldest daughter, and her husband was also carefully chosen, with no flaws whatsoever, especially with the presence of the eldest princess.
She came today too.
After the lively gathering, no one lingered and everyone returned to their respective palaces.
He Zhuo looked at the gifts that everyone had brought in his room; they were dazzling and varied.
The Empress Dowager gifted me a red gold and gemstone necklace, which was luxurious and beautiful, and I could wear it for a very long time.
The Emperor gave her a gold lock with red gold and rubies, and a piece of Hetian jade pendant, an oval one, the perfect size for a two- or three-year-old to wear.
Consort Hui presented a complete set of violet jade ornaments. Although it was not the highest grade of jade, it was clear that the entire set was made from the same piece of jade. There were three pieces in total: a thumb ring, an oval-shaped polished piece (which could be set into a melon-shaped hat), and a round plaque that could be used as a waist pendant or necklace later.
The gift from Consort Yi was a red jade lock, which was of high quality and small and exquisite.
Consort Hesheli presented a jade pendant for peace and safety, and the quality of the jade was quite good. ...
Many of them didn't come with cords or beads. I picked out a few and asked Donghui to select some threads, small jade stones, and small beads from the storeroom to make accessories. The master and servants spent an entire afternoon working on these.
