As the saying goes, "You can tell a child's future at the age of three and his character at the age of seven."
As parents, most of us hope that our children can grow up healthily, achieve something and succeed in life.
But growth is an extremely slow process.
Therefore, there was a custom of grabbing the week-old baby's birthday.
They believe that one year old is an important node in a child's life, and through the "Zhuazhou" method, they can predict the child's future destiny.
In Fuyao Pavilion, royal relatives, civil and military officials and their female relatives attended a banquet together to celebrate Princess Chaoyang's first birthday.
The center of the hall was covered with thick animal skins.
The animal skin was wrapped with a layer of exquisite silk cloth embroidered with hundreds of flowers.
The silk cloth was filled with all kinds of objects.
Ancient books, brushes, seals, golden abacus, rattle, flute, jade ruyi, dagger...
Each of these objects symbolizes different expectations and blessings.
Sitting on the left seat, the Queen Mother glanced at the items and said with a smile, "I think the little one will probably go for the golden abacus. She loves shiny gold nuggets the most!"
Lu Qingyuan, standing beside him, echoed with a smile, "Mother, that's a good plan. If you calculate carefully, you won't have to worry about anything. Our Qiqi will definitely be a smart, clever, and far-sighted child in the future."
Su Qiqi in the emperor's arms couldn't help but yawn again, muttering in his heart:
[Calculating carefully? With my simple-minded and brainless personality, I'm lucky I was lucky, otherwise I would have died a long time ago.]
[Speaking of which, I, a little cannon fodder, have become the group's darling little princess by hiding away my life for so long. It's simply too dreamy.]
[The plot has changed. The cannon fodder has grown some brains. The tyrant is a wise ruler, and the queen mother is also a good person. Wow, I'm so touched...]
The eldest princess raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she was thinking about something.
Shen Mingyue pointed at the rattle on the ground and said with a smile, "I think Qiqi would choose this rattle or that one. Among all the toys, she only holds the rattle in her hand every day. I guess she likes it very much."
Hearing this, Lu Hongxuan was very excited: "Rattles are great, they make a loud sound! I'm sure they'll achieve something great in the next seven days, and become famous!"
Su Qiqi smiled helplessly: "Haha, you guys are the ones who can come up with such a story. I only played with the rattle because I was bored and simply wanted to hear the sound."
Lu Hongxuan frowned.
Bored? It seems Qiqi is really bored.
Alas, she hasn't grown tall yet, and she can't walk yet. Otherwise, I would definitely take her to climb the century-old tree in the Imperial Garden, pick flowers, feed the fish, and fly a kite...
Oh, and I also need to teach her how to read and write, how to ride and shoot, and how to defend herself. I will never let her be bullied in the future.
"Forget it, let this little guy choose it himself."
The emperor stood up and carried Su Qiqi to the hall, placing her on the silk cloth filled with other items.
"Huh?" Su Qiqi looked confused.
She looked up and saw that everyone around her was staring at her expectantly.
Looking down, I saw treasures all around my feet.
There was no plastic in ancient times. So this flute must be made of jade, right? Well, there's a bamboo leaf pattern carved into the bottom of the flute, which looks quite elegant.
[Seal? Where is this seal from? If I choose this seal, will the emperor give me a shop? With a shop, I can do business and make money. After all, who would complain about having too much money?]
[Golden Abacus! This is my favorite! I don't know how many grams it weighs, but it shouldn't be hollow, right?]
[A dagger? It's inlaid with gems, so it's worth a lot of money. It can even save your life in a critical moment! Not bad, not bad.]
[Brush? Let's skip it. I don't have any plans to practice calligraphy right now, and I don't like memorizing all that nonsense. I want to play with it for a few more years.]
[Speaking of which, with so many things, why is there no silver needle herb? ]
Su Qiqi tilted her little head, stared at the things for the "Zhuazhou" ceremony, and muttered silently.
She didn't move for a long time.
The people around only noticed that Princess Chaoyang was motionless, and thought something had happened, so they couldn't help but whisper about it.
"What are you standing there for?"
Lu Qingyuan stood up and walked towards Su Qiqi.
She squatted down, raised her hand and gently patted Su Qiqi's back, and said with a smile: "Be bold in your choice and take the one you like. Auntie will give you an interesting little toy later, okay?"
Su Qiqi nodded.
She looked at the things in front of her, then turned back to look at the emperor, then looked up at the empress dowager, and finally waved her hand: "I, I like them all! I want them all!"
The childish voice was very loud.
emperor:! ! !
Queen Mother: ...
Shen Mingyue: ...
The rest of the people: ???
For a moment, everyone was stunned.
The civil and military officials and female relatives in the hall were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths.
It was the first time they heard Su Qiqi speak.
Although some children are precocious, they can babble words when they are one year old, act coquettishly and are likable.
But even the most intelligent babies don't have any extra thoughts in their heads. They are too young and can only imitate the actions and words of others.
And Su Qiqi...
Not only can she speak, but she can also express her wishes boldly and clearly.
Could this be a truly extraordinary woman? No wonder she's so beloved by the Emperor!
Zhao Xu raised his eyes and glanced at the emperor, feeling a little flustered.
In the Zhuazhou ceremony, everything has a unique meaning.
If the princess grabs the flute, then I wish her a life full of joy and happiness every day; if the princess grabs the pen and ink, then I congratulate her for her intelligence and talent, and her admiration for others...
All the congratulatory messages had been decided long ago, but now the princess wanted to speak them all, which was really unexpected.
