Chapter 470 After the Consecration
Xuanyuan Ling knew that Shen Qing was tired, and thought that she should rest for fear that Xiaoliu would stick to her, so he simply said to Xiaoliu: "Father will go with you to see your sister."
Xiaoliu naturally did not refuse.
This was the first time at his young age that he really saw what a person was like after giving birth. Before, he had no idea why she couldn't accompany him for walks and plays. Now seeing Shen Qing like this, he thought in his heart that his mother was like this when she gave birth to him.
Xuanyuan Ling took Xiaoliu to see his daughter, the Fifth Princess.
The wet nurse fed the baby. The baby was asleep now, with her eyes closed, so Xiaoliu couldn't see anything. He just looked at his sister and sighed, "My sister is so small."
Newborn babies are really small. He looked at his sister’s little face and wanted to touch her, but he didn’t dare.
Xuanyuan Ling felt that the child had some sense: "It's not a big deal if it's just a touch."
Xiaoliu couldn't bear it anymore and reached out to touch his sister's face.
It was so soft and tender to his touch that he didn't dare to touch it hard and stopped immediately. It's not like he had never seen other princesses before, but they were all sisters after all, so they were always different. Now looking at his own sister, his heart as a brother suddenly burst.
Xuanyuan Ling also found Xiaoliu's expression funny. He really loved his sister. Now that the child was asleep, it was hard to tell, but before, he saw that the child's eyes looked like Chen Qing, so she looked very cute. Although she was still very young and had not grown up yet, just because her eyes looked like Chen Qing, Xuanyuan Ling felt that his daughter would definitely be pretty in the future.
The father and son watched the sleeping Fifth Princess for a while before coming out. Now Chen Qing was still lying in bed, and Xiaoliu couldn't always watch his sister. After watching her, Xuanyuan Ling asked him to go back, and he went back himself. When he returned, Chen Qing had already rested again.
In the first few days after giving birth, she was weak. Adults and children are the same, eating and sleeping. Shen Qing's body still needs to be taken care of. Naturally, she needs to sit well during the confinement period. Women are most afraid of suffering from postpartum diseases.
That is, during Shen Qing's confinement period, the New Year arrived.
Another year has passed.
This year seemed no different from any other year, but Shen Qing did not go out during her confinement period, and she did not attend the New Year's banquet.
This year, Xuanyuan Ling was thirty-eight years old.
Xuanyuan Ling still gave out all the rewards that should have been given during the New Year. The palace banquet was also an annual custom, nothing special. Zhaohua Palace was lively in previous years. This year, Shen Qing was in confinement, and the servants still followed the rules of previous years. However, some of the activities that Shen Qing had participated in before obviously could not be participated in this year, as she was in confinement.
Because I was afraid that Shen Qing would catch a cold in winter, I took good care of her on weekdays. I didn't want the room to be too hot or stuffy, but I also didn't want Shen Qing to catch a cold.
Fortunately, there were many people serving her, so life was naturally easy. Except for the fact that she couldn't get out of bed and was a little bored, Shen Qing was fine in other aspects. The breastfeeding was done according to the previous time when Xiaoliu came, so naturally they didn't dare to let her get tired. The wet nurse fed Shen Qing together, just to ask Shen Qing to feed less.
Xuanyuan Ling was happy on the day Shen Qing came out of confinement, and the fifth princess was also one month old, so naturally there was another big celebration.
The one-month-old Fifth Princess is no longer the same as when she was just born. When her eyes opened, she really had the charm of Shen Qing. She was so adorable. When she looked at others, it was so heart-melting. Not to mention Xuanyuan Ling herself, even the other palace concubines were jealous when they saw the Fifth Princess. This child was so cute that people couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Shen Qing was still weaned after three months, and by this time, the weather had gradually passed the cold winter and became warmer.
After that, we just have to wait for the auspicious day to confer the title of Imperial Concubine.
Chen Qing also saw Xuanyuan Ling's decree and decided on it in May. Because it coincided with the Chinese New Year and there were many things to do, the ceremony of conferring the title of Imperial Concubine was grand after all, so the subordinates were a little rushed, but of course they would not be neglected. Shen Qing's Imperial Concubine's auspicious clothes were also delivered to Chen Qing before the conferment.
The clothes of the virtuous concubine are already very gorgeous, but the auspicious clothes of the noble concubine are even more exquisite. Such auspicious clothes are a symbol of status. Although she has become a noble concubine and the highest-ranking person in the harem as soon as Xuanyuan Ling's imperial edict is issued, she still has to wear such auspicious clothes to accept the greetings of everyone, which makes her look more majestic.
Now that the Queen Mother is lying in bed and needs someone to serve her, Xuanyuan Ling has ordered that she should not be disturbed while she is recuperating, and there is no Queen. Chen Qing is truly the first person in the harem. She is going to put on this auspicious dress and accept greetings from all the concubines in the harem.
The day when Shen Qing was canonized was extremely grand. Not to mention the concubines, even the princes and princesses knew that from now on, the Imperial Concubine was the most honorable in the harem. And with Shen Qing becoming the Imperial Concubine, Xiao Liu was naturally different from when Shen Qing was the Virtuous Concubine. Originally, the status of the Third Prince's mother, the Virtuous Concubine, was higher than Shen Qing, but now, it has been suppressed.
