Third Uncle's Family's First Birthday Ceremony (Part 2)



As a prince's consort, you'll definitely have to speak Mongolian. Since you don't speak Mongolian, you'll stand out.

The Tenth Prince's Consort was the highest-ranking among the princes' consorts. She was the daughter of Prince Urjingalap and a true princess. Her name was the same as Dorgon's mother, who was the first consort who was buried with Nurhaci. Her name was Abahai, which means "heaven" or "ancestor," and it was quite powerful.

When Abahai first married the Tenth Prince, she had some redness on her face from the high altitude, but now it has completely faded. She is a dignified and elegant beauty with three-dimensional features and a tall figure.

Such a look is very popular on the grasslands, but the aesthetic in Beijing is now increasingly biased towards Han women, who prefer delicate women with fine willow-leaf eyebrows, cherry lips, and slender figures.

In fact, He Zhuo felt that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and they were all beautiful. In addition, the Tenth Prince's marriage to Abahai disqualified him from the throne, so he was somewhat resentful towards Abahai. However, Consort Wenxi in the palace treated the Tenth Prince's wife very well.

Hopefully, my tenth brother can figure this out soon.

The men's and women's tables were separate. At the banquet in front, Prince Cheng, Yin Zhi, noticed Yin Zhi's unease and realized that his elder brother was worried about his sister-in-law.

However, he was quite pleased with himself for having two legitimate sons, so he toasted Yinzhi: "Brother, drink more. Don't worry, your sister-in-law has your brother's wife, she'll definitely take good care of things."

Yinzhi couldn't refuse, so he drank a cup.

Knowing it was his son's first birthday celebration, Yinzhi didn't want to go too far, so he turned around and gloated to the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen. He said, "I heard that my fourth brother also had a new son. What's so special about a princess giving birth to a son? Ours was born to the Fujin! Haha!"

After the banquet, He Zhuo Ping'an left with a group of princesses and princes.

September 12th is Xiao Liu's birthday, and the celebration in the palace is quite lively. He Zhuo can tell that Consort Hui is very happy, and now most of her attention is on Xiao Liu.

On Xiao Liu's first birthday, He Zhuo stayed in the palace until the palace gates were about to be locked before leaving. At first, the chubby Xiao Liu was still being coy and ignoring He Zhuo. Humph! You naughty mother, that'll teach you to not come to see me.

He Zhuo asked him to touch his belly, and just then, the baby inside kicked. Xiao Liu's mouth dropped open in surprise, and he touched the belly with both hands, but he didn't dare to use force. The baby seemed to know that it was his older brother and kicked several times in a row.

When He Zhuo left, Xiao Liu pouted and was about to cry. He Zhuo hugged Xiao Liu and whispered in his ear that he would come first thing tomorrow morning. He told him to be good and sleep well tonight, and he wouldn't cry. The two even made a pinky promise.

Not long after Xiao Liu turned six, Emperor Kangxi bestowed names on a large number of children. The fifth prince of the eldest son's family was named Hong Han, the sixth prince was named Hong Xiang, the third prince of the crown prince's family was named Hong Jin, the eldest prince of the third son's family was named Hong Qing, the second prince was named Hong Sheng, the eldest prince of the fourth son's family was named Hong Hui, and the second prince was named Hong Yun. In fact, the Imperial Astronomical Bureau calculated the eight characters and time of birth for the names and presented them to Emperor Kangxi, who then selected the best characters. They were all auspicious characters with the "sun" radical.

Originally, Yinzhi's fifth son was born to a concubine and had a low status. However, he was raised under the care of Consort Nalan, which raised his status and also gave him a name.

On November 9th of the 38th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, He Zhuo Ping'an gave birth to the seventh prince of the Zhijun Prince's Mansion. The baby's third-day celebration and full-month celebration were held in a very lively manner.

He Zhuo looked at the little baby, who was just a month old, in his arms. He was fair-skinned and tender, and very lovable. His older brothers and sisters were all around him, playing with him.

He Zhuo gestured for Bai Xia to watch over the place, then took his eldest son, Hongyu, to a side room. He Zhuo handed a box to Hongyu, gesturing for him to open it. Hongyu opened it and saw that it contained land deeds and house deeds. He looked up at his mother, puzzled, and asked, "Mother, what's this?"
