Chapter 13: Grasping the One-Year-Old



Time passed day by day, and when he was one year old, Yan Chengyu had become accustomed to spending the evenings with his father.

Yan Chengyu was content as long as he could sleep with his mother for a few days.

But the older he gets, the more amazing his intelligence becomes.

At just one year old, he could already express his thoughts intermittently. However, Yan Chengyu was ashamed of his babyish voice and often spoke one word at a time.

Emperor Mingxi watched the child grow up healthily under his care.

Since the birth of the little grandson, the Queen Mother's spirits have been getting better and better. As soon as the boy could speak, he would often tell the Queen Mother to run, run, run.

This made the Queen Mother feel both sweet and painful.

In order to satisfy her beloved grandson, the empress dowager would run for a while after practicing the Five Animal Exercises every day. She was so healthy that she could eat two more bowls of rice.

Yan Chengyu said, this way my goal has been achieved.

The country was also prosperous and had already shown signs of prosperity under the rule of Emperor Mingxi.

Many people among the people were grateful to the prince, so they compiled stories about him into songs.

It was so popular throughout Dazhao that the people praised the prince as a good omen for Dazhao. It was an honor for anyone to speak to the prince, and touching the prince's fat hand could prolong one's life.

As a result, there were always people kneeling in front of Yan Chengyu from time to time, asking for the prince's blessing.

Yan Chengyu was one year old. The emperor thought that the prince was weak when he was young, so he kept everything simple.

Now is the first birthday party, and we should invite all the ministers to celebrate the prince's birthday.

Yan Chengyu rebelled many times and was suppressed by Emperor Mingxi, the Empress Dowager and the Empress.

Several people were even excitedly telling Yan Chengyu what he should take for the "Zhuazhou" ceremony. Emperor Mingxi said he wanted the imperial seal, the Empress Dowager said he wanted a sword, and the Queen Mother said he wanted poetry and books.

The fat boy often got so annoyed that he covered his ears and shook his head and replied, "Yes!"

He is a small person, but he insists on pretending to be cool and mature.

By the time he could speak, he had been taken around the entire palace.

Now everyone in the palace knows that the little prince is only one year old but he is already very independent.

Yan Chengyu thought he was conveying his ideas seriously, but in the eyes of his servants he was extremely cute.

Who would refuse a sincere glutinous rice dumpling? Moreover, the prince was kind and generously rewarded those who served him.

When Yan Chengyu gave his precious little toys to others as rewards, the palace servants would only take them to Eunuch Wu and exchange them for gold or silver.

This was also indicated by Emperor Mingxi.

Therefore, throughout this year, everyone in the palace spoke of the prince with fondness.

Except for those concubines who were trying hard to get pregnant, most of them also liked fat babies.

Because he is very good at comforting people.

One day, when Yan Chengyu was picking flowers in the imperial garden, he met Xie Baolin who was crying silently.

The little fat boy thought that Xie Baolin was bullied, so he not only gave his flowers to Xie Baolin, but also insisted on dragging Xie Baolin to the Queen's Palace to seek justice.

Although there was a misunderstanding in the end, Xie Baolin was just thinking about his parents at home.

But the prince's reputation for kindness also spread throughout Dazhao, so the little fat boy would always encounter crying concubines, palace maids, eunuchs and even servants in the harem.

Although the fat boy knew that the other person was pretending, he still helped the other person wipe away his tears seriously.

It was not until Emperor Mingxi gave an oral order that this practice was put to an end.

But the popularity of the little fat boy has remained high.

He had to do a lot of things every day, including playing with the concubines, talking to the Queen Mother, and having dinner with the Queen Mother.

He also had to appease the jealous Emperor Mingxi, and his whole body was spinning like a top.

So after the emperor issued the order to hold a grand birthday banquet, the palace maids and guards could be heard discussing it everywhere.

"What do you think our prince will catch?"

"The prince is so kind, he must be a scholar of poetry."

"The prince walks every day. He's very active, so he must be using a sword!"

"I really want to go to the first birthday party to see the little prince. I wonder how majestic he is!"

With preparations from all parties, the first birthday party was held in full swing.

Yan Chengyu had been dressed up as a little celebrity by his grandmother and mother, wearing a ruby ​​headband, a red four-clawed dragon robe, and several small jade gourds around his waist.

The whole person looks like a fairy child under the seat of Guanyin, extremely smart and elegant.

He can only take a few steps now, and these jingling accessories undoubtedly increase his burden.

Yan Chengyu gritted his teeth and cheered himself up, "Huh, Huh!"

He wanted to stand up and not crawl! He was the crown prince and couldn't afford to embarrass himself.

Suddenly he stumbled, and the queen was so frightened that her face turned pale.

Unexpectedly, Yan Chengyu pushed forward with his fat hands and his whole body became a U shape.

The queen was stunned for a moment before she and the queen mother both covered their mouths and laughed.

The child was chubby, and this posture made him look like a little ball, which made the two of them laugh uncontrollably.

Yan Chengyu pouted, his face flushed red. "Hold back your smile!"

When Jiang Yuanxing saw this, he hurried over to help the little prince up. The longer he spent with the prince, the more he liked him.

"Thank you~Banban." Yan Chengyu clapped his hands and thanked in a baby voice.

The little boy glanced at his grandmother and mother, who were shaking in panic, and snorted before stumbling forward.

He heard his father's voice!

Bad grandmother, mother.

Yan Chengyu angrily threw himself into Emperor Mingxi's arms, waiting for Emperor Mingxi to pick him up.

The little boy clenched his fists and buried his face in Emperor Mingxi's neck. "Bad! Bu Fuwo!"

Emperor Mingxi weighed his fat son and laughed, "No one wants to help you, but your father will help you."

The little boy's eyes lit up and he stretched out his chubby fingers, "Grandmother, Queen Mother!" He pronounced each word clearly, and it was obvious that he had practiced it several times in private in order to complain.

"Hahahaha" the queen helped the empress dowager out. When the empress dowager heard this, she laughed heartily.
